These resources are excellent for building literacy skills and having fun at the same time! ![]() ![]() Turning literacy into an interactive lesson is the best way to make sure our early learners stay engaged.Īfter all, we want them to learn to love reading, right? Which is why I’m sharing this list of 10 hands on literacy ideas for kindergarten! When we help our students learn to read, we help them learn how to learn.Īnd, if we can make it fun, they’re even more likely to stick with it. The change between what students can do on the first day and what they can do on the last day is remarkable.Īnd that’s because we teach so many concepts during kindergarten that form the foundation of what our students will learn for years afterward – from reading to counting to working well with others.Įarly literacy, in particular, is one of my passions. Kindergarten is an almost magical grade to teach. ![]()

![]() But the playing field isn’t entirely even. In terms of internal storage, you’ll find 64GB and 256GB flavors, which is ample room for apps, games, music, movies, and any other media you might want to store offline. We can confirm all three are lightning-fast in everyday use. Overall, Apple says the A11 Bionic is up to to 70 percent faster than the A10 Fusion (the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus’ system-on-a-chip) in everyday tasks, and up 30 percent faster in graphics-heavy games and apps. When it comes to raw performance, the iPhone X and both iPhone 8 devices are more evenly matched than you might expect.Īll three pack Apple’s 64-bit, A11 Bionic chip, a powerful processor consisting of six individual cores - two high-power cores and four power-efficient cores - that balance battery life with performance. The processor works in tandem with an Apple-designed three-core GPU that accelerates the iPhone’s machine learning algorithms.

This predominantly relates to the lead-anchoring technique. It observed the most common major complication, lead dislodgement (10 events in nine patients), at zero to 120 days post-implant. Medtronic observed a 91.9% rate of freedom from major EV ICD system- or procedure-related complications through 18 months. Data built on the EV ICD’s previously reported defibrillation effectiveness results at implant (98.7%). Patients avoided shocks in nearly half of all spontaneous episodes because of the availability of ATP, Medtronic said. ![]() Medtronic said that of discrete episodes treated with shock, 21 of 21 were successfully terminated.ĪTP successfully treated 35 of 52 episodes (67.3%). Nineteen patients experienced 80 spontaneous, appropriately treated arrhythmic episodes. The company presented data as late-breaking science at Heart Rhythm 2023.Īn estimated 6.8% of patients experienced the appropriate therapy by 18 months. Medtronic’s EV ICD pivotal study for safety and effectiveness followed 299 implanted patients through an average of 17.1 months. The ICD offers anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) and pause prevention pacing. Using a minimally invasive approach, the implant goes below the left armpit in the left mid-axillary region. It designed the system with a lead placed outside the heart and veins, under the sternum. Medtronic’s first-of-its-kind implantable defibrillator aims to avoid certain risks of traditional, transvenous ICDs. The medtech giant designed its extravascular (EV) ICD system to treat dangerously fast heart rhythms that can lead to sudden cardiac arrest. Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) announced positive long-term follow-up results for its investigational implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Philips said novel AI models “lay the foundation for a new approach to cardiac risk management.” The company believes it can apply across multiple care settings, helping to identify at-risk patients earlier. The model correctly predicted VT occurrence in 88% of Holter users with rapid VT. On the external validation dataset, sensitivity and specificity came in at 78.9% and 81.4%, respectively. The model achieved a sensitivity of 83.3% and a specificity of 88.7% on its internal validation dataset. The study evaluated a two-week period using data from the first 24 hours of monitoring. Researchers studied the algorithm’s ability to predict the risk of sustained VT (lasting longer than 30 seconds). The model then retrospectively validated the model using retrospective 14-day ambulatory ECG recordings from 2019 to 2023. The AI-based learning model used a deep neural network and 115,505 ambulatory ECG recordings gathered from independent diagnostic testing facilities in five countries. It successfully predicted sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) over a two-week period when compared to ambulatory ECG data. The study, “Near-Term Prediction of Life-Threatening Ventricular Arrhythmias using Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Single Lead Ambulatory ECG,” used an AI-based learning model. Philips (NYSE:PHG) presented data demonstrating how artificial intelligence (AI) can help predict life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.

(Photocredit: CSIRO via Wikimedia commons ) ![]() Research continues to create a product that fits this bill but in the meantime one should be aware of the signs of rat poisoning particularly if your pet travels with you to places outside the home where bait may be left out. While one may want to get rid of rats, one certainly does not want a hazard to the children or pets of the family. Rat poison can be obtained in most hardware stores, grocery stores, and even for free from city agencies in some areas. Rodent removal services are an important part of pest extermination even now in the 21st century. Rats spread disease, eat our crops, leave droppings and make nests in our storage areas, and infest our homes. Mankind and the rat have been in conflict for thousands of years. Commercial exterminators may still employ the anticoagulant rodenticides discussed here. Bromethalin based rat poisons have since captured the residential market. The traditional d-CON products have not been manufactured since December 2014 and have not been distributed since March 15, 2015. This means that second generation rat poisons (which kill rats in one feeding) will be banned from residential use and that rat poisons for residential use must be secured within bait stations (not in open trays). At last, Reckitt Benckiser has aggreed to comply with the EPA directives. The EPA has been at odds with Reckitt Benckiser (the makers of d-CON) since 1999 when they began seriously scrutinizing the risks of rat poison products to pets, children, and wildlife. ![]() ![]() ![]() Clicking on a song will display its overall performance for the past week.

Simply scroll and take notice of the sounds that come up over and over again, and eventually, you’ll realize what’s trending. This requires no additional effort since scrolling the For You Page is what most people do while using the app. However, a large portion of these videos are viral and could potentially become trending sounds. Each person’s For You page will have different content based on that particular user’s likes and interests. It allows users to view popular videos from accounts they may or may not follow.
