Under Funding Model Meant To Boost Performance, Racial Gaps In College Graduation Widened

Performance-based funding – a policy in which states fund public colleges based on certain student outcomes, such as how many students graduate – hasn’t benefited all students equally in Tennessee and Ohio. That’s according to a study in which we analyze U.S. Department of Education data on public colleges and universities in these states between 2004-2015. We compared institutions in Ohio and Tennessee to institutions in states that did not have performance-based funding policies during the same time frame. In some cases, Black, Hispanic, Native American and Alaska Native students did in fact earn more certificates as well as associate and bachelor’s degrees. However, the gap between them and white and Asian students grew even wider for bachelor’s degrees in Ohio and for certificates in ...

7 Content Amplification Tips To Boost Your Marketing Efforts

Marketing is not just about creating valuable content. If you think your job as a marketer is done once you’ve published your content, you’re wrong my friend. You can’t just sit back and wait for your conversions to increase on the basis of your content. You need to do something so that people actually get to view your content. This is where content amplification comes in. Content amplification is extremely crucial when it comes to your content’s performance. Without it, most content does terribly. But how do you go about amplifying your content? So, in this blog, we talk about the key takeaways from Amanda Natividad and Rand Fishkin’s video on content amplification as part of SparkToro’s “Office-hours” live stream. Let’s dive right in!

Should You Boost A Facebook Post Or Run A Facebook Ad?

Facebook is the most popular social media site in the world, with more than two billion monthly users. To reach more prospects and customers with your marketing messages you can get pay-per-click (PPC) traffic at an affordable rate from Facebook. This PPC advertising is much less expensive compared to Google AdWords. Even small businesses that have a limited budget can afford Facebook advertising. One of the most important things to grasp is the difference between Facebook news feed advertising and Facebook boosted posts. Facebook News Feed Advertising The Facebook news feed is the backbone of Facebook, showing a wide variety of content from people with whom a person is connected. When someone likes your page, they will become a follower. This means they have to opportunity to see yo...

Physicists Give Chances Of Faster-Than-Light Space Travel A Boost – Warp Drives

The closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri. It is about 4.25 light-years away, or about 25 trillion miles (40 trillion km). The fastest ever spacecraft, the now- in-space Parker Solar Probe will reach a top speed of 450,000 mph. It would take just 20 seconds to go from Los Angeles to New York City at that speed, but it would take the solar probe about 6,633 years to reach Earth’s nearest neighboring solar system. Faster than light travel is the only way humans could ever get to other stars in a reasonable amount of time. Les Bossinas/NASA/Wikimedia Commons If humanity ever wants to travel easily between stars, people will need to go faster than light. But so far, faster-than-light travel is possible only in science fiction. In Issac Asimov’s Foundation series, humanity can travel from...

A Quantum Technology Speed Boost And The Search For Dark Matter

Nearly a century after dark matter was first proposed to explain the motion of galaxy clusters, physicists still have no idea what it’s made of. Researchers around the world have built dozens of detectors in hopes of discovering dark matter. As a graduate student, I helped design and operate one of these detectors, aptly named HAYSTAC. But despite decades of experimental effort, scientists have yet to identify the dark matter particle. Now, the search for dark matter has received an unlikely assist from technology used in quantum computing research. In a new paper published in the journal Nature, my colleagues on the HAYSTAC team and I describe how we used a bit of quantum trickery to double the rate at which our detector can search for dark matter. Our result adds a much-needed speed bo...

In 2021 Outsmart Your COVID-19 Fears And Boost Your Mood

After a year of toxic stress ignited by so much fear and uncertainty, now is a good time to reset, pay attention to your mental health and develop some healthy ways to manage the pressures going forward. It’s all about emotion. Charles Postiaux/Unsplash, CC BY-ND Brain science has led to some drug-free techniques that you can put to use right now. I am health psychologist who developed a method that harnesses our rip-roaring emotions to rapidly switch off stress and activate positive emotions instead. This technique from emotional brain training is not perfect for everyone, but it can help many people break free of stress when they get stuck on negative thoughts. Why the stress response is so hard to turn off Three key things make it hard to turn off stress-activated negative emotions: ...

Democratic candidates seek a big and unprecedented K-12 funding boost

Democratic presidential candidates are proposing new approaches to the federal government’s role in public education. Former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders want to triple the US$15 billion spent annually on Title I, a program that sends extra federal dollars to school districts that educate a high percentage of poor children. Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants to go further and quadruple funding for that same program. Other candidates have similar proposals to substantially increase funding for public education, including Sen. Amy Klobuchar and former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg hasn’t yet issued his education platform, or indicated where he stands on federal K-12 funding. Funding increases of this scale would tra...

Democratic candidates want to boost school funding – research shows that will help low-income students

Research shows that school funding impacts student achievement. Rido/Shutterstock.com With few exceptions, the various Democratic plans for public education share a common theme: more funding, less privatizing. Candidates Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders have promised to dramatically increase or triple current federal funding for low-income students and curtail charter school growth. Elizabeth Warren recently went even further, promising to quadruple federal funding for low-income students and end federal funding for charter expansion. These proposals have provoked a deluge of harsh responses from commentators. Increasing public education funding and limiting charters, critics say, is nothing more than pandering to teacher unions and demonizing charter schools. While this c...
