Clements Road, London – It’s always sad to see kids grow up and behave differently than they were before, especially in their teenage years because, at this stage, a lot of problems arise. Learning to understand a teenager takes a lot of time and effort, that’s why Parenting Monkey decided to reach out more to its readers by launching their new website. The online magazine is there to help its readers deeply understand what their teens are going through.

According to Peter Pressing, head of Public Relations, “The use of natural and logical methods while listening to their teen’s feelings is a big step in rebuilding that emotional separation from when they grow up to be teenagers. Parenting Monkey teaches its readers to keep an open mind when dealing with teenagers. Often times, parents are faced with the dilemma on how to connect with their children, in this online magazine, parents and teenagers are free to discuss and share their problems with other parents and teens to further improve their relationship with one another.”

www.ParentingMonkey.com is an online magazine that focuses on parenting tips and how you can cope with your children. The parenting ezine knows what it feels like being a new parent and raising teens has its own ups and downs. Parents will encounter numerous back and forth arguments with their kids, discussing just about anything. The teenage years can be a chaotic and complicated phase for both parents and teenagers and the goal of the company is to aspire its readers to look beyond the norm and learn from one another. Parents should understand that in this era, teenagers have more to face, than what their parents were up against. There are more pressures and challenges brought by our ever changing society than there was ten to twenty years ago.

The goal of the new website is to teach parents how to educate their children about life lessons and responsibility. Parents are also taught how to be calm and firm when confronting issues with their teens. With the launch of the new site, parents who prefer reading articles online can now visit Parenting Monkey on their mobile devices and on their desktops.

Understanding how a teenager feels is an important part of parenting, and if the situation doesn’t feel right, parents can always rely on Parenting Monkey’s website at http://www.parentingmonkey.com

Basketball Has Saved 150 Children from Poverty, Child Labour and Abuse

India’s Dribble Academy Launches International Campaign to Fund Critical Program

Even in 2017, most children living in the slums of India don’t have access to clean water, food or clothes. Education, self-worth, sports, and the belief that they have a future, all remain a distant dream. 

Such is the life of kids living in Gejha, a tiny village near Noida in Northern India. Many of these children are subjected to child labor, alcoholism and domestic violence in by their own families. They live in crowded homes with unsanitary conditions. Typically, a family of eight is cramped in a 250 square feet room. Without guidance and direction, most of these children end up gravitating towards a life of petty crime, substance abuse and child labour.

Until the Dribble Academy took a stand.

The innovative after-school program in began in 2013 with five kids, two bamboo sticks and a ring used as a hoop but has expanded into an empowering program for 150 children aged 5-14. The massive growth of the program has left the organizers of the school in financial strain.

To continue funding the life changing program, the Dribble Academy has launched an Generosity Campaign on Indiegogo to seek Canadian support and keep their doors open. 100% of the funds raised go to the Dribble Academy program.

The campaign launched yesterday has already had major visibility with 5k views of its video feature on YouTube, 7.2k Facebook Views and 100 Facebook shares. The goal is to raise $25,000 to keep the Dribble Academy in operation and continue to change the lives of the disadvantaged children who are able to benefit from it.

The crowdfunding campaign seeks to reach those outside of India able to help fund the essentials of the program. The directable donations for the campaign include: food and drink for the entire program, transportation to tournaments, compensation for coaching staff, medical insurance, shoes, clothing and sporting equipment.

The Dribble Academy program is run by professional basketball trainer, Pradyut Voleti. Voleti, a Master in Clinical Psychology (Amity University), was trained by USA’s leading skill development trailer, Ganon Baker, as part of the Shadow Coaching Program at Elev8 Sports Institute in Florida, USA. He was personally trained by Cody Toppert, a Cornell Legend, who has played 9 years in Europe and the NBA D League.

Each Program conducted by Dribble Academy focuses on the core skills that make you a successful in Basketball: Ball Handling, Hand Eye Coordination, Strength and Conditioning, Injury Prevention and Correct Shooting Mechanisms.

The focus on Dribble Academy is to bring life skills to the court and learn the art of sharing, friendship, bonding and teamwork.

The program aims to give the children of the poor town of Gejha a sense of meaning and purpose in their lives. Voleti started the program with his own experiences of the game in mind. “Basketball instilled discipline, gave me direction, a purpose, made me work hard in a team and individually,” said Voleti. “I thought of Basketball as the foundation to bring these very same qualities to the children of Gejha.”

The program has had a major impact on girls in Gejha:

When the program began, only one of the 5 children was female. With the conservative nature of India, young women were discouraged from playing sports. Shaily Upadhya was a pioneer of her time with the personal drive to match. Following Shaily’s participation in the Dribble Academy, she was awarded a five year fully-funded scholarship to Delhi NCR, a prestigious school in neighbouring metropolis Delhi.

After gaining the trust of the parents of the community, Dribble Academy now has over 50 girls enrolled in the program. The academy considers this to be their greatest achievement to date.

The Dribble Academy is hoping that the media will help spread the word on their charitable fundraising campaign and help reach worldwide donors who want to give back.

Zyrobotics Joins Cohort to Improve Special Education with accessible STEM Learning Tools

Funding and management assistance from NewSchools Venture Fund will fuel Zyrobotics efforts to create exceptional learning tools for PreK-3

Zyrobotics is proud to announce its selection as a member of the 2017 Ignite Cohort at NewSchools Venture Fund.

NewSchools works to spur product growth and effectiveness in areas identified by teachers and students as lagging in innovation. Through the Ignite program, they provide funding to promising teams of entrepreneurs and support them through management assistance and a cohort experience.

Zyrobotics is one of the 2017 edtech companies selected through the NewSchools Ignite Special Education Challenge. As a cohort member, Zyrobotics is committed to developing the Zumo Learning System as a cloud-connected STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) learning tool to help millions of students across the country who receive special education services achieve their most ambitious dreams. In addition to the funding, Zyrobotics will receive management assistance and a community of practice from NewSchools.

The Zumo Learning System makes active learning accessible for children through a variety of accessible STEM-based apps, and a plush turtle controller named Zumo. The universality and accessibility of the Zumo Learning System encourage an inclusive learning environment where children of all abilities can reach their academic goals.

“It has been statistically shown that children with special needs take fewer math and science classes,” said Dr. MacCalla. “We want to change that by providing STEM learning tools that are accessible, motivating, and engaging.”

“While it may sound obvious that students with disabilities need additional support, few edtech tools exist to support this diverse group of students,” said Tonika Cheek Clayton, Managing Partner at NewSchools Venture Fund. “We believe edtech tools have the potential to address many critical needs in special education. That’s why NewSchools Ignite is proud to invest in Zyrobotics to develop engaging tools to reimagine special education learning.”

The RevSci PolyPro Water Bath Joins the IoT Movement with WiFi Capability

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – 18 May, 2017 – Life science and biotech laboratories are becoming more connected and Revolutionary Science has joined the movement with the introduction of their new WiFi controlled water baths. Devices with internet and WiFi connectivity are making a huge impact on businesses and individual consumers alike. McKinsey Global Institute estimates the IoT will have a value anywhere from $4 trillion to $11 trillion dollars by the year 2025. McKinsey expects the IoT to have the biggest affect on the manufacturing and operations sector, but one overlooked area the IoT will have huge implications on is the life science and biotech field, particularly with water baths, like the Revolutionary Science Poly Pro Water Bath.

The new RS-PB-150 has the ability to be monitored over Wi-Fi. Sensitive samples incubated in a water bath can be monitored and controlled over a WiFi connection. The user can be alerted remotely if a temperature error or power outage occurs. Data logging can be performed online and the temperature settings and profiles can be controlled by simply accessing the water bath’s individual secure website from a computer or phone.

The compact 5 liter bath is complete with a digital display and also has a sister product, the dual chamber WiFi water bath RS-PB-250. These WiFi controlled water baths are available through Revolutionary Science, an American manufacturer of life science and biotech laboratory equipment. They are a welcome addition to a wide array of water bath and temperature control products, that Revolutionary Science offers.

In addition, the Poly Pro baths are constructed of polypropylene. The most common frustration surrounding water baths is sample contamination. It is imperative that a water bath remain clean. “It is intended to provide a clean, stable environment for incubation, heating, and thawing. But the warm, moist environment creates a perfect incubator for microbes [that cause contamination],” states Lab Manager Magazine in a recent article.

Contamination is too common in metal water baths. Most metal water baths can be very difficult to clean, due to pitting (from harsh class I deionized water) or scale build up (from the water being too dirty). Pitting and scaling create tiny porous alcoves for microbial contaminants to hide. The Revolutionary Science Poly ProBath eliminates this problem by constructing their bath out of rugged polymer instead of metal. The bath cannot pit and tough scale build up is wiped off with a damp towel. Therefore there is no place for the contaminants to survive.

FROM HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUTS TO HEAD OF THE CLASS

Identical Triplets Claim Top Three Spots in Evolution Academy’s 2017 Graduating Class

DALLAS, TX – 18 May, 2017 – Identical triplets, Tran, Han and Ngan Tran, will make history as they walk across the stage as the top three scholars in Evolution Academy’s 2017 graduation class. The graduation ceremony will take place this Thursday, May 18, 2017 at 7 p.m. at Curtis Culwell Center, 4999 Naaman Forest Blvd., Garland TX 75042, and it will be one of the first times in Texas that triplets have graduated 1, 2 and 3 in their class.

Prior to enrolling at Evolution Academy, a public charter high school and dropout recovery center, the Tran triplets were high school drop-outs living in America with their father, while their mother is still in their home country of Vietnam. The Tran sisters took advantage of the technological advances offer by Evolution Academy and in just a little over a year they are now graduating with top honors. Tran Bao Tran is the valedictorian with a GPA of 3.98. Han Bao Tran is the salutatorian with a GPA of 3.97 and Ngan Bao Tran, ranks #3 with a GPA of 3.96. All three of the Tran triplets plan to attend Richland College this fall.

Sharail Weaver ranks #4 with a GPA of 3.45 in the 2017 graduating class at Evolution Academy and like the Tran triplets, had a tough journey to high school graduation. Sharail faced many obstacles including financial challenges and moving around a lot which caused her to attend three different high schools before finally finding a great fit for her Evolution Academy. She was able to flourish at Evolution Academy, where the focus is providing educational options for at-risk students, and now she is graduating in the top her class and heading to college at Texas Wesleyan University this fall. Sharail plans to become a psychologist so she can help others over difficult circumstances.

These students are great examples of the lives changed daily at Evolution Academy. Founded in 2002, by award-winning educator, Cynthia Trigg, Evolution Academy serves a diverse population of at-risk youth. Trigg and her staff work hard to provide the educational programming, scheduling options, job skills training and vocational certifications to meet the needs of its students and recover a portion of the large number of students who drop out of school in Texas each year. One of the school’s main priorities is providing opportunities for their students beyond the classroom and they are hoping to partner with local businesses and community organizations to achieve this goal. “With more than 77% of our students and families classified as low-to-moderate income, corporate and community support is vital in delivering additional resources, opportunities and exposure for our students,” said Cynthia Trigg, founder and chief executive officer of Evolution Academy.

Evolution Academy has campuses in Richardson (main campus), Houston and Beaumont. With a low student-teacher ratio of 18:1, the progressive charter school can offer one-on-one attention with a mix of traditional and computer-based instruction, which enables students to earn up to ½ credit hours every nine weeks, allowing them to catch up or graduate early. The main campus in Richardson includes a science lab, fitness center and wellness program, piano lab, culinary arts program, full-service cafeteria and a state-of-the-art music studio where students can write and produce music. The school also offers multiple career and technical education courses that prepare students for certificates in professional fields.

To date, Evolution Academy has graduated more than 2000 students, many of whom were unsuccessful in traditional school settings. Evolution Academy graduates have gone on to graduate from some of the top colleges and universities in the country, enlist in military service and embark on productive careers in the workforce.

Monica Johnson, a Dallas-based author, life coach, Fortune 100 business professional and recent TED Talk standout, will deliver the keynote address encouraging students to rise above life’s difficulties and search within and reach their highest potential. Johnson speaks frequently throughout the United States and internationally and shares how she overcame tremendous obstacles in her own life in her bestselling book, “Shift From Broken to Breathtaking.” Johnson is also widely known for her “Word of Wisdom with ONEWORD” column in Epitome Magazine, a national faith-based magazine published by her husband, Todrick Johnson. 

The Tran Triplets’ mom couldn’t get a Visa to attend their graduation, but she will be cheering them on as she watches the live stream of the ceremony at http://thecube.com/e/733570

Evolution Academy has open enrollment year-round on all three campuses. Students can enroll online at www.evolutionacademy.org or visit one of the campuses to enroll in person.

AUSTIN, TX – 18 May, 2017 – School leaders, students, and the members of the community joined together at the newly named McCoy Remme Athletic Complex on the campus of San Marcus Academy to help Hellas Construction break ground on a new football/soccer field and track at Ingram Stadium funded by Hellas’ Fields For All Grant program and private donations.

San Marcos Academy is the second recipient of Hellas’ new Fields For All grant program in less than four months. The Hellas grant and generous gifts from the Emmett and Miriam McCoy Foundation and the Steve and Don Mafrige families are helping to pay for the upgrade of the existing stadium with a new artificial turf field and a new running track.

SMA President Jimmie Scott said, “We are so grateful for these gifts and are thankful to God for providing this wonderful new facility for our students.” 

Hellas Construction will be installing its Matrix®Turf with Realfill infill, and a drainage system for proper water runoff to ensure playability and longevity of the new synthetic turf surface. Hellas’ Matrix® Turf is made from monofilament, C8 Resin fibers and considered to be the most resilient, stable, and durable turf on the market. The Matrix product’s quality, performance, and longevity are unparalleled in the industry. Matrix Turf is the choice of schools and universities nationwide, and the trusted turf of the Dallas Cowboys. After over 10 years on the market, every installation of Matrix Turf has been proven without failure.

“We are amazed at how quickly the work has progressed at the site just since the groundbreaking,” said Scott. “Having this Athletic Complex completed by the beginning of school in August will provide new incentives for our teams as they prepare for football, track, soccer, Junior ROTC and various recreational activities during the 2017-18 school year,” said Scott.

Hellas Construction is the preeminent sports construction builder for professional sports organizations, schools, and universities nationwide. They are committed to giving back by expanding the opportunities for youth to participate in sports and activities in a safe environment on a safe surface.

The Fields For All program was developed to assist a wide variety of non-profit/tax-exempt organizations with building various sports, mini-sports fields, or playgrounds in neighborhoods and cities throughout the United States and Puerto Rico, because to Hellas, more than the game matters. Sports help children learn to be a part of a group, learn teamwork, follow instructions, cooperate with peers, develop gross motor skills, and reap all the benefits of staying physically active.

New Book, Why I Smuggled for a Living, Now Available in Two Formats

EVERETT, WA – 18 May, 2017 – Growing up in a remote village where life to date is at a near crawl is a narrow window of opportunity many have died trying to break loose. This in and of itself made Viora aware of what she needed to do – get an education. In pursuit of knowledge, she and her siblings walked three hours and a half either way – to school and back home, for seven years, even more if you didn’t perform well on the final examination in seventh grade. You needed an above average score to proceed to secondary school.

Determined to acquire knowledge by any means dimmed necessary, Viora pushed herself beyond the norm. In doing so she developed a set of skills many children her age lacked – discipline, and acquired a spot at the top of her class. She became one of the best there was.

She exceled in every subject thus, not that she was intelligent than most others, but because she had to if she were to bring home the grades necessary to keep her going forward. Discipline allowed her to develop rare listening skills. Listening skills and her ability to follow the teacher’s instructions with intensity, propelled her in every subject.

When her father was too old to support Viora and her little brothers through school, she started smuggling for a living – to pay for school, and support her brothers who themselves were in school still. Therefore, she carried through the jungle as much weight as her body could possibly handle. On one instance Viora and her group were hijacked by armed robbers; she was given a chance to tell her story.

Raleigh, NC – Parents who want their children to have the lifetime benefits that come from learning a second language need to know about Spanish for fun! Duraleigh, a professional daycare and preschool. Spanish for fun! Duraleigh gives children the opportunity to learn Spanish, one of the world’s most commonly spoken languages, in an immersive environment. Children at Spanish for fun! learn through the proven teaching method of play.

“Spanish for fun! Duraleigh is an immersion school that opens the minds of and opportunities for children while they play,” says company owner, Gaby Lowry. “We provide students with the opportunity to become bilingual and learn Spanish in an environment that is active and natural for their age groups while recognizing and celebrating their cultural identity.

The Duraleigh center’s play-based concept allows attendees to learn at their own pace and on their own terms. It gives children the necessary tools to become fluent Spanish speakers even as they are mastering English simultaneously.

The daycare side of the program nurtures and develops the social and emotional well-being of the children, according to concept of the five love languages as defined by Dr. Gary Chapman. The preschool builds relationships with parents through communication and active involvement. They help parents understand how to best assist their children’s physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development.

As stated, the curriculum at Spanish for fun! Duraleigh is taught entirely in Spanish, which helps the children be naturally comfortable and confident with the language. The loving, dedicated, and bilingual Spanish for fun! teachers focus on the individual needs of each child and help them discover a new world of learning, playing and sharing. As the students become comfortably bilingual, they are encouraged to be participative, responsible and open for intercultural appreciation with native speakers.

Linda Tucker, PsyD, LCSW, topped Amazon charts this week with her new book “At a Crossroads: Finding the Right Psychotherapist (Even If You Already Have One).”

Tucker wrote At a Crossroads to aid people in search of finding the right psychotherapist.

“I decided to write this book because I know from personal experience that finding the best qualified psychotherapist is challenging,” says Tucker.  “I believe that when you are brave enough to acknowledge the need for help—most likely at a time when you are at your wits’ end—there should be a place to go for a helping hand.  I wrote At A Crossroads to be this kind of place.”

At a Crossroads released on May 9, 2017 and within a few days became a best-seller.  It hit #1 in the “Medicine & Psychology” category as well as Top-10 in “Couples & Family Therapy.”

It also ranked internationally, hitting the Top-10 on charts in the United Kingdom and #1 in Canada.

The release of At a Crossroads was designed to coincide with the observation of National Mental Health Awareness Month, observed in May.  “I’m honored to watch At a Crossroads become part of a larger, national conversation surrounding mental health treatment,” she says.

Brian The Pekingese Presents 100% Organic Cotton Pajamas that Children Adore

ORANGE, CA – 22 May, 2017 – We at Brian the Pekingese care about children as well as the environment. This is why we have created 100% organic cotton children’s pajamas that are produced in the USA. You may ask yourself why is it important to have organic cotton instead of traditional cotton? Some of you may know that cotton accounts for 2.5% of the world’s crop cultivation, but did you know that it also accounts for 16% of the world’s pesticide use?

As you can see, traditional cotton is a toxic crop. With organic cotton you can rest assured they do not use any pesticides or herbicides. The cotton is from original plants, meaning the cotton plants are not genetically modified. It also helps that organic cotton is a rotation crop. A rotation crop helps manage organic soil fertility and helps avoid problems with soil borne diseases. With that being said, when we choose organic products, we are reducing demand for harmful chemicals. This benefits the farmers, producers, and consumers.

With everything you have heard so far it is safe to say our product is the healthier choice. Our cotton fibers are not doused in pesticides or any other harmful chemicals during their growing process. Once we receive our non-harmful cotton fabric, we prewash it prior to cutting and sewing. This gives the fabric an extra softness and removes any residual inks leftover from the printing process. Our pajamas are made in the USA, unlike most clothing companies. Brian the Pekingese pajamas are made in California near our corporate headquarters. Our production process is in compliance with all federal and state manufacturing regulations. We are involved in each step of the manufacturing process. We have a close relationship with our vendors and do regular factory inspections. We pride ourselves by knowing our pajamas are made for children, not by children.

As a company who cares about the preservation of the environment for all children, Brian the Pekingese has created an environmentally conscious program called Brian the Pekingese Cares. This program allows our customers to recycle their children’s old pajamas. Brian the Pekingese CEO Angela Bentley said, “If you can’t hand it down, hand it back – to us”. Once the child outgrows their garment our customers can send it back to us free of charge. Then we will make sure the cotton fabric gets recycled or reused.

About Brian The Pekingese:

Brian the Pekingese is a unique brand of children’s pajamas and onesies made from 100% organic cotton. We wash the fabric prior to cut and sew to ensure no shrinkage and extra softness. We do not use any flame-retardant chemicals All of our sleepwear is made in the USA. We also offer a matching plush toy and bedtime book to pair with your pajamas.

KaZoom Kids Books, the Publishing Company Dedicated to Multicultural, Digital – Interactive Children’s Book has Launched a Kickstarter Campaign

CHICAGO, IL. – 23 May, 2017 – KaZoom Kids Books, Inc,  a multicultural, digital-interactive children’s book publishing company, announced today that it will launch May 1, 2017 its Kickstarter campaign. KaZoom is the first interactive digital publishing company in the United States focusing exclusively on the multicultural market, and most precisely Black and Latino readers.

Based in Chicago KaZoom’s flagship product is KaZoom Kids iStoryBooks – an innovative, interactive library of multicultural children’s book apps bringing technology magic to traditional print. The company publishes multicultural books and apps for ages 3 to 8. The books engage children with sight, sound, read-along narration, touch and animation through interactive technology.

“If you are an African-American or Hispanic mother of young children you can seldom find children’s book that reflect your life, family and community, says Donna Beasley, Co-Founder and publisher. There is a void in the publishing industry for multicultural children’s books. In 2014 only 5% of children’s literature included children of color.  These few books are not nearly enough when you consider that 43% of students in our nation’s public school system are Black and Hispanic children and our country is growing more culturally diverse each year.

At KaZoom we believe every child should be able to find themselves and their community in the pages of a book. This lack of diversity in children’s literature creates a gap in the sense of self-love that comes from recognizing oneself in a text, from the understanding that your life and lives of people like you are worthy of being told, thought about, discussed and even celebrated.”

“The multicultural children’s book segment in the United States is one of the biggest untapped markets,” says Beasley. KaZoom gives Kickstarter backers not only the opportunity to support a cause but also to become a character in a book or to tell their life story. I personally think it is pretty exciting to have a children’s book written around your life story or that of someone you love, don’t you think so?”

About KaZoom Kids Books

KaZoom Kids Books is an interactive children’s book company and a new entry in children’s book publishing. Founded in 2015 by Donna Beasley, company’s mission is to bring greater diversity to children’s literature by creating books for the community, by the community.

Timothy Morales, CEO of Las Vegas Cannabis (LVC) Deals Inc, will interview Nevada State Senator “Tick” Segerblom. Senator Segerblom sponsored the Medical Cannabis legislation in 2013 and worked with a group of legislators to get Question 2 the Recreational Cannabis bill passed last November. Since the bill’s passage, the Senator has worked to push the start date to July 1st.

“The hard work that Senator Segerblom and his team have put into the cannabis issue over the years, has not only helped people receive cannabis medicine in the state of Nevada, but also has helped the Cannabis movement nationwide.  Other states are looking at the examples set by Nevada for product testing, tracking and other safety issues.  Nevada is setting a high standard, and I thank the Senator and his staff for their time.  I look forward to talking with him.” said Tim Morales.

The second part of the online seminar will be an interview with John Laub, Executive Director of the Las Vegas Medical Marijuana Association.  John will discuss where we were 3 years ago, where we are now, and how the Cannabis Industry moves forward once Recreational starts. The Las Vegas Medical Marijuana Association has seen many new members since the passage of the Recreational bill last November. There are many opportunities in this cannabis space, both touching the plant and not. Several of these will be discussed during this presentation.
