Many students in the U.S. Finally, the U.S. scores lower than average for the number of resilient students. Then there is the tie between test scores and funding. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, for example, awards funds and grants to schools that regularly achieve standardized testing goals. Although the approach was designed to incentivize schools and teachers to improve students' reading and math abilities, critics argue that this encourages educators to "teach to the test" rather than foster comprehensive learning. Since improved test scores are also typically tied to salary increases, there's an incentive for teachers and administrators to raise those scores "by any means necessary." The city of Atlanta was rocked by a massive cheating scandal that involved dozens of educators who were encouraged or forced by superiors to engage in falsifying answers on student tests. Funding isn't the end-all-be-all of education improvements, but it certainly allows for the teachers, supplies, facilities and other necessary expenses to get the job done.|A woman walks by a Family Dollar store Dec. 11, 2018, in Brooklyn, New York. As the income gap between rich and poor continues to grow, dollar stores have become increasingly popular in both urban and rural America. It's 9:17 p.m. on a Tuesday and you just realized there's no milk or eggs for the kids' breakfast tomorrow morning, and there's no bread for their school lunches. And if you're honest with yourself, that half-finished roll of toilet paper might not make it through the night. It's time to hit the store. Now, you've got a choice to make. The nearest grocery store is 25 minutes away. The Walmart is even further. Driving to either one at this hour means you won't be home and in bed until 11. But what about that new dollar store that opened down the street? Does it even have food? If it does, you could get this shopping trip wrapped up in 25 minutes.

Some users say e-cigs have helped reduce their "smoker's cough," sharpened their senses of taste and smell, and even improved their sleep. The electronic cigarette was invented by Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik, who patented the device in 2003 and introduced it to the Chinese market the following year. Numerous companies are now selling e-cigarettes to customers around the world. But as e-cigarette smoking -- or "vaping" as it's sometimes called -- has grown in popularity, some have concerns about its safety, including the possibility that the vapor created by the devices contains dangerous chemicals. Is the electronic cigarette a cleaner, healthier choice for smokers? Or is it a dangerous device with hidden risks? Both viewpoints have their merits, but on the next page we'll start with the basics: how the product works, and why it's popular. Lighting a traditional cigarette causes the tobacco to burn, releasing smoke that contains nicotine. The user breathes in the smoke to deliver nicotine to the lungs.|Many movies have promotional tie-ins like this stuffed pig used to promote Christina Ricci's role in "Penelope." See more movie making pictures. It's three days before Christmas. You're out doing some last-minute shopping downtown. Sitting at a traffic light, you see a bus drive by with a huge ad for the latest Disney movie, something about a purple unicorn. You saw something last night on TV about the crazy special effects they used to make the unicorn fly. Huh, you think, maybe your kid would like to see it. At the mall, it seems like that unicorn is everywhere. They're selling stuffed unicorns in the toy store. Offering unicorn rides next to the line for Santa Claus. Speaking of special effects, how did they get the horns to stick to those ponies? You buy a Coke at the food court. Darn it if the can isn't purple! You go online to check the latest headlines and there's a big interactive banner ad featuring that lovable unicorn at the top of the "New York Times" Web site.
On days when it's too cold to swim at the beach, guests at the Sheraton Seagaia Resort in Miyazaki, Japan, can head to the resort's indoor pool. Known as the "Ocean Dome," Seagaia is home to the largest indoor pool in the world. The pool is nearly 1,000 feet (300 meters) long and 328 feet (100 meters) wide, and it's covered by a retractable roof that lets the sun shine in on warmer days. Several times a day, the pool is cleared to allow surfers to catch a wave, and an artificial volcano erupts every 15 minutes. Look no further than the Nemo 33 pool in Brussels, Belgium. At 108 feet (33 meters) deep, Nemo is the deepest man-made swimming pool in the world. The entire pool holds an incredible 660,000 gallons (2.5 million liters) of water, and is filled with underwater tunnels and rooms for visitors to explore. Nemo opened to the public in 2004 and is primarily used by scuba divers and film crews looking to film underwater scenes.
If you take a step back, though -- and journaling can help with this -- you may begin to see some concrete triggers. For instance, is the company financially unstable, and you're concerned about lay-offs? Has a "failure" in your work led to insecurity about your own competence and/or job security? Are you troubled by your interactions with the boss, employees and/or peers? Has your role in the company changed, leaving you feeling uncertain or ill-prepared? The next time you find yourself sinking (deeper) into the negativity hole, take a moment, remove yourself from the situation as much as possible, and take some notes. It will help you sort through the noise. Figure out what's actually going on in your head. Job insecurity, dysfunctional workplace dynamics, perceived failures, uncomfortable changes in the status quo -- these are all excellent at producing negative reactions. They are not, however, inherently negative conditions.
