Mentoring Relationships and Programs for Youth ABSTRACT—Mentoring is one of the most popular social interventions in American society, with an estimated three million youth in formal one-to-one relationships. Studies have revealed significant associations between youth involvement in mentoring relationships and positive developmental outcomes. These associations are modest, however, and depend on several intervening processes. Centrally important is the formation of close, enduring connections between mentors and youth that foster positive developmental change. Effects of mentoring programs likewise typically have been small in magnitude, but they increase systematically with the use of program practices likely to support relationship development. Gaps between research and practice are evident both in the indiscrimi-nate use of the term mentoring in the prevention field and in a focus on the growth and efficiency of mentoring pro-grams at the expense of quality. Continued expansion of effective mentoring will require a better alignment of research and practice. KEYWORDS—mentoring; preventive intervention; nonpar-ent adults; youth Organized approaches to mentoring youth in the United States date back to reform-oriented initiatives in the juvenile court system more…
Top 3 Brain Hack to Improve the Power of the Mind The brain, as it stands, coordinates the entire activity of the human mind. This part of the human body is responsible for every activity in which human beings engage; the level at which an individual develops his/her brain determines the level of his/her creativity as well as intelligence. At this point, it is pertinent to explain what is meant by a ‘brain hack’. ‘Hack’ itself denotes a form of manipulation in the original form of an entity, that is, a normal process is disrupted when there is a hack.

All these amazing abilities of the mind are tagged ‘the power of the mind’. This article is, therefore, aimed at discussing in detail 3 psychological brain hacks that would help…
How does this image continue This image is maintained by Kyoko Mori when she asserts that she cannot knit a sweater because the patterns will confuse her. This happens after she narrates of her experience, knitting a mitten to the German woman that she met. This image is also continued when she made an asymmetrical sweater with one sleeve being more extensive than the other. She also talks of her first homec sewing project being no better than the mittens meaning that the project was as bad as the mitten situation. She also acknowledges that there is the spirit in her knitting life of laziness and overachieving, and that is why a voice in her will say that she won’t try something because it doesn’t come naturally to her. Mittens emerge as an essential part of the essay’s theme in ways such as the regard of Latvia’s tradition for girls to make mittens from a young age to start early on her dowry chest. During the wedding, mittens were distributed to all participants. Also, Mori ultimately decides to reconcile to…
Behavior Systems Family Experience 1- As a student and/or teacher, reflect on your own experience with direct instruction, mastery learning, or game-based learning from the behavior systems family model: Share the particular lesson in which you have participated and list those elements (a…,b…c…) that were present in which you or your students experienced growth. Were there any elements of technology involved? 2- Offer particular learning activities that would fit well into the behavior systems family in your teaching field. In your response tell how you might implement technology in the activity.

Amazon’s recruitment process Question 1 Amazon’s recruitment process is well designed in America to ensure the acquisition of talented staff and sustain the turnover rate (Antoun, et al., 2016). The Amazo has been applying multiple ways for assessing candidates’ performance and skills both in the USA and UK. In America, Amazon often approaches candidates from LinkedIn, followed by two telephonic interviews. Candidates must go through written tests in both America and the UK. Amazon has also been evaluating candidates’ judgmental and rational approaches by asking them technical questions by using online software in both countries (Phillips, et al., 2001). These questions are based on arithmetical coding and intelligence-based issues. After endeavoring of all mentioned rounds, candidates must proceed with multiple technical rounds, hiring manager round and HR round in America. However, in the UK, the overall recruitment process is similar, but its online application system might make it distinct where the candidate can approach Company by sending their resumes (O’Connor, 2013). Question 2 Radio Disadvantages: The life of the radio advertisement is concise (Nysveen & Breivik, 2005). It is the…

Children of the Garden Island Emily Warner’s article Children of the Garden Island is one of the most outstanding articles in its field. Emily’s study sought to find answers to two major questions. First, what are the women’s reproductive histories in the community? Secondly, what factors facilitated resilience among the children at greater risk? The researchers chose to ask these questions because, at the time, children’s exposure to psychological and biological risks was a rare occurrence. Therefore, the researchers wanted to ascertain the factors that facilitate the development of such risks. There was, therefore, a need for the researcher to “determine the long-term consequences of prenatal and perinatal development” (Werner 106). Also, they needed to keep records of all severe effects accrued to the conditions in the upbringing of children and their impact on the child’s psychological, cognitive, and physical development. The study assumed a longitudinal approach and was conducted over a period of three decades. The data for the research was collected from human subjects since it included the observation of human character and behavior over that period the…

‘Living Old’ Movie Looking at the “Living Old” movie, one gets astonishing statistics that indicate the number of older people in the community are rising in the modern world. There are nearly thirty-five million elderly individuals in the USA, above the age of eighty-five years. That’s surprising! The numbers show how elderly populations are increasing in the state due to the advanced technologies placed in medical-care and improved living standards, which results in raising life expectancy. The next thirty years will see their population rising to seventy million, representing twenty percent of the entire US population. Despite the great achievement in raising life expectancy among older people, there is another worrying trend of chronic diseases affecting them. Several individuals are affected by not only one chronic illness, but two or more at the same time. It takes doctors much time prescribing and diagnosing the elderly because many do not know how to describe the illness affecting them. Therefore, it entirely goes to the doctors themselves to make a precise diagnosis and assist in providing medication or treatment. The older adults…
