The benefits of using discussions in classrooms to teach contentious topics are endless but the three previously mentioned have proven to be the most valuable by students, teachers, and parents…

First, the Elvis board was connected to a power source and to the computer. A team member then connected the IR optosensor to the Easy Pulse circuit board.

will enter Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla. as the underdog to the 4th-ranked Sooners. With most of the hype surrounding Oklahoma, which in some circles has portrayed the Sooners as possibly this year's Ohio State Buckeyes (won National Championship last season), the Tigers should be fueled to earn the respect they inexplicably have yet to garner from naysayers. Oklahoma Sooners There will be no shortage of motivation for the Sooners, led by former walk-on quarterback Baker Mayfield.…

Margot Robbie does a fantastic job as the former figure skater Tonya Harding in a comedic biopic directed by Craig Gillespie who, despite the spirited tones engendered to dissect this polemic story, didn’t surpass his 2007 comedy “Lars and the Real Girl”. If the cited Australian actress got our eye through a fine performance, the Ohio-born Allison Janney, who plays her mother, LaVona, is absolutely insuperable. Curiously, Janney aspired to become a champion skater at a younger age, but an…

Life in Black and White Every child dreams of the air, of flying like Superman or like the birds, of getting away from the rules and the crowds and the bustle of the ground. We dream of the freedom and escape that flying may bring. Now, I never learned how to fly, that’s impossible, but there are some things out there that get pretty damn close to that feeling.

“Just copy what I say and you’ll win,” my coach said to me. This was a common catchphrase she would tell my partner and me at our speech and debate practices. No matter how much we would tell her that she is wrong, she would sternly reply to just follow what she said. When I started to stop copying what she said I learned to start thinking for myself and saying what I believe. This past summer I qualified to attend the national speech tournament by competing in a local district…
