National Youth Advocacy and Resilience Conference

It is our goal to change the perceptions of alternative schools as a placement for “bad kids”, to a place where students gain the support needed to become successful in their home schools by looking through the lens of the effects of trauma and its impact on students.

Sports Terminology As A Source Of Synonymy In Language: The Case Of Uzbek Language, Qodir Turdiyevich Ruziyev

Mental Enlightenment Scientific-Methodological Journal

Modern sports and their terminologies in European and other languages have been strongly influenced by English. In spite of our country being under the influence of the former Soviet Union for a long period, we can still see a lot of foreign sports terminology together with Russian terminologies in Uzbek language.

Colgan Air Accident-Driven Changes To Part 121 Flight Operations: It Is Time For Phase Two (Editorial), Donald R. Gibbs

International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace

How did we get here and are there any off-the-shelf alternatives to the three tiers to help get pilots into the left seat sooner?
