Thinker Academy Gets Teens Ready to Adapt and Thrive in The 21st Century
Thinker Academy (http://www.thinkeracademy.com) is dedicated to helping teens get more out of high-school. The website, created by a cognitive psychologist, provides resources that parents and educators can use to nurture critical thinking and study skills in their students. 

From the National Education Association to the World Economic Forum, there is wide recognition that these kinds of skills are needed to adapt and thrive in the 21st century workforce and global society. The challenge has been how to best promote these critical skills. The high school years are the perfect time for teens to become savvy learners and thinkers who are ready to succeed in college, career, and life in this new era. Thinker Academy was created to help make that happen.

The site contributes original, relevant articles with tips and advice to help teens boost their grades and prepare for college. The content is completely research-based, though presented in a light-hearted style that’s readily accessible and appealing to teens.

For example, one popular article, 21 study tips: Learn the strategies that set top students apart, describes learning strategies that research has shown to explain 90% of the variance in high-school GPA. Another reports on 5 study skills to accelerate your learning based on an extensive academic review.

Thinker Academy also offers online courses for use at home or in the classroom. These interactive, multimedia resources give teens a way to further practice and apply essential learning and thinking skills. In addition to content crafted for teens, the site provides guidance for parents on how to nurture their teens to become independent learners. (read more at URLwire)

Phonak Offers Hearing Loss Website Dedicated to Teens



The site features a sports section with inspiring testimonials and practical tips showing teens with hearing loss the possibilities on the field, on the court, and on the trails. 

Because a teenager's world is a different one, Phonak has recently launched the first website tailored to the needs of teens with hearing loss. Through teen-specific hooks such as music and social life, the site offers teens all they want to know about hearing technology – and more importantly, what it can do to enhance their lives. The latest addition to the page is a sports section that offers inspiring examples of teen athletes with hearing loss using Phonak Sky Q and Phonak Roger. This new sports section answers the questions teens may have about participating in outdoor sports while wearing hearing devices and communicating with team mates on the field. 

Surveys have shown that hearing impaired teens perceive themselves as typical teenagers who happen to have hearing loss. They love to be active in sports, music, and other fun activities like any other teenager. They expect their hearing aids and wireless technology to allow them to do whatever they want to do without being limited by their hearing loss.

“Hearing impaired teens want to hear from their peers about how they succeeded in similar situations. This is why we have developed a site dedicated to teenagers, offering them all the information they seek and a platform for sharing their own challenges and accomplishments in everyday life with hearing devices, says Angela Pelosi, Head of Pediatrics at Phonak. “With sports as our latest experience, we want to encourage them to get out there and get active, without letting their hearing impairment limit them in any way.”

Sports is one of the favorite pastimes of teens. Those with hearing loss often fear that they cannot participate or keep up with other teens because of hearing-related communication issues. Bringsoundtolife.com shows teenagers that communication is possible on the field, on the court, and on the trails with hearing solutions like Phonak Sky Q and Phonak Roger. Short, engaging videos show how Phonak hearing solutions have given teenagers the chance to live their dreams and succeed in their favorite sports – all heard and told from a teen’s perspective.

BringSoundtoLife.com offers teens the opportunity to share their own experiences and stories using the latest Phonak technology with the community to encourage and inspire their peers. A Phonak Sky Q and Roger color customization tool, and an “Ask your audiologist” tool make sure teenagers get the most out of the site, whatever their individual preferences and needs.

The website is available in English at www.bringsoundtolife.com

SearchRPM Launches Internet Safety for Kids Resource Guide In Time For New School Year

Premier search optimization company SearchRPM is taking their knowledge of the web and putting it to use to support Internet Safety. The company has just launched an Internet Safety Resource section on their website with information for both parents and kids from cyber security experts, teachers and more.

URL: https://www.searchrpm.com/internet-safety-for-kids

Back To School Internet Safety Portal for Kids and Parents
Austin-based search company SearchRPM is known for giving back to their local community with seminars, professional meetups and podcasts that provide information on navigating the World Wide Web for marketing purposes. The company is taking what they know and sharing it in a whole new way, with a completely different audience. The company is pleased to announce they have recently launched a Back To School Internet Safety Portal and Resource Guide on their website to coincide with the new school year. The portal and resource guide is designed for use by parents and kids.

The Back To School Internet Safety Portal for Kids and Parents was inspired by this past June's Internet Security Month, as part of The National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) mission to educate and empower today’s digital society.

It is a message that struck home with SearchRPM’s owner and founder Michael Ramirez. Regarding his company’s participation Mr. Ramirez said, “Because of the work we do, and the fact that we are always online, we fully understand how dangerous the Internet can be for anyone. Our team is extremely tech savvy, yet keeping up with security can still be a challenge.” It’s a challenge that his team has to meet every day to keep their business protected.

With millions of students now having access to the Internet both at home and school, SearchRPM’s new Back To School Internet Safety Portal and Resource Guide is focused on ways to keep kids safer, wherever and whenever they are online. Children and teens are among the most vulnerable Internet users, however, their comfort using online resources often leads to complacency. This matter is addressed within the resources along with a variety of information for kids and their parents. The topics covered include:
  • General best practices and everyday safety tips
  • Facts and statistics about Internet security today
  • Browser settings that improve safety
  • Setting search parameters to control content
  • Parental controls that can be used
  • Keeping mobile devices safe and secure
  • How to talk to kids about Internet safety
Information is delivered through a variety of means including articles, quizzes and infographs. One highlight of the resource portal that can be used by parents and teachers is the Unbelievable Statistics About Kids & Teens on the Internet infograph. This highly visual piece delivers impactful information that relays the importance of protecting kids from cyber bullies, criminals and hackers that are online.

The Internet changes and expands daily, which makes protecting people and devices more challenging. Cyber criminals and stalkers often take advantage of new systems before the general public is aware of the potential dangers.  The SearchRPM Internet Safety Resource section features the most up-to-date information on potential risks and the most effective ways of protecting kids.

To learn more about the latest ways to protect kids while they are online, please visit the Internet Safety Resource section at: https://www.searchrpm.com/internet-safety-for-kids

Profile Defenders Launches New Site Offering Complex Reputation Management Services



One of the leading reputation management companies has launched a new service to help remove defamatory content from appearing in searches. The company, Profile Defenders, aims to help those whose images are affected by slanderous or defamatory messages that are often false and costly to a business or individuals reputation.
Profile Defenders Launches New Site Offering Complex Reputation Management Services
Defamatory material such as fictitious and negative reviews, slanderous content, and poor ratings or complaints are just some examples of what Profile Defenders can protect against. This type of content is usually aimed to hurt a company’s business or a person’s career and the general public doesn’t know what is real. With Profile Defenders new service offering, these unwanted messages can be removed and your reputation can be restored. While the service has been around for years, Profile Defenders recently upgraded their website and tools to better assist their customers to meet current demand. Their new solution in addition to removing unwanted content is utilizing the courts in order to remove content permanently when certain criteria is met. 

The legal team at Profile Defenders provides a de-indexing service that removes the unwanted content and utilizes the court system to remove the content permanently through their Profile Defenders Lawsuit Removal Service. While online reputation management is growing in popularly and needs are increasing for these services, Profile Defenders’ new services are one of a kind. There are very few other companies that work to remove false content and most utilize techniques that are frowned upon by the industry as a whole. Profile Defenders was persistent on finding a way to remove false content using white hat methods such as negotiating with webmasters on their clients behalf to remove unwanted sites appearing in Google search results.

 Profile Defenders is a reputation repair company that was established in 2010. They focus on online reputation management and provide solutions to everyday problems that businesses or individuals incur negative press on the internet. Profile Defenders monitors and improves the clients online reputation and also works on PR campaigns to promote their clients in a positive light.

www.Diamonds.pro Helps Consumers Avoid Diamond Buying Rip Offs



The Diamond Pro (www.diamonds.pro), a website created by diamond industry veteran Ira Weissman, is dedicated to educating potential diamond consumers. With all the hype and misinformation fed to the public through sappy advertising and unscrupulous diamond salesmen, only education and research can guarantee one will make a smart buy. The potential pitfalls are nearly endless.


"I left my job traveling the world selling diamonds in 2008," said Weissman, "because I couldn't stand how the industry was always looking for ways to trick people into spending more money on diamonds. It's then that I decided to create The Diamond Pro to help consumers open their eyes to the games diamond dealers play. I also wanted to teach people how to buy a diamond like a diamond dealer and only focus on what’s visibly important."

The Diamond Pro educates consumers in two ways. First, readers of the site are invited to email Mike Fried, Weissman's partner and current CEO of The Diamond Pro, for free personalized advice on how to get the best deal when buying a diamond. By factoring in the reader’s preference of diamond shape and setting, as well as budget, Mike is able to recommend the best possible diamond. Often readers have already chosen a stone and request that Mike give his expert opinion before pulling the trigger. 

The second way that The Diamond Pro educates the consumer is through a series of expertly-written and user-friendly articles about every imaginable relevant topic, from the "4 Cs" to specific vendor reviews. Every article was created with the same purpose - to help people buy the largest best looking diamond with the least amount of money.

The team at The Diamond Pro is constantly working to make sure that they respond to emails in a timely fashion. Since the articles and personal consultation service are totally free, consumers only stand to gain by taking advantage of this unique and valuable service.

www.SelectBlinds.com Saves Children's Lives by
Giving Away Over 82,000 Free Cord Cleats
SelectBlinds.com is serious about child safety. While all their products are CPSC safety compliant and safety devices are sent with each corded product, after the news early last year of four more children losing their lives to corded window covering accidents, they knew they had to do even more. Select Blinds has created a free cord cleat program [www.selectblinds.com/window-blind-cord-safety.html] open to all consumers, both customers and non-customers. 

Consumers can request free cord cleats for every corded window covering in their houses. Cord cleats are small, easy-to-install safety devices that allow dangling cords to be wrapped up and kept out of the reach of children. So far, Select Blinds has already sent over 82,000 cord cleats to families with small children, giving parents the tools they need to keep their children safe. In their official announcement of the new program, Select Blinds said:
The loss of a single child is too many, so we are taking our commitment to safety one step further. Effective immediately, we are offering free cord cleats to everyone, whether they are a SelectBlinds' customer or not, for their current corded window coverings. We're taking a stand, and we invite you to stand with us to help prevent injuries and save lives.
But that's not all they're doing to try and protect children from preventable window covering cord accidents. (read more)

PrisonEducation.com Explains How Educating Prisoners Is Smart on Crime


URL: http://www.Prisoneducation.com 


Prisoneducation.com, the world's leader in news and research concerning education and rehabilitation in America's prisons, advocates for expanded educational offerings for prisoners as a smart crime control policy.

The United States currently incarcerates over 2.1 million persons at a cost exceeding $52 billion annually.  This equates to 25 percent of the world's prisoners, even though the U.S. only has 5 percent of the world's population.  Every year, around 600,000 prisoners are released from correctional custody and back into our communities. Between 70 and 85 percent of these released prisoners will recidivate within 5 years of release.

According to Christopher Zoukis -- founder of PrisonEducation.com and Prison Education News-- this recidivism rate can be slashed through educational programming.  Zoukis asserts in his upcoming book, College for Convicts: The Case for Higher Education in America's Prisons (McFarland and Company, 2015), that prisoners who obtain an Associate's Degree recidivate at a rate of 13.7 percent, those who earn a Bachelor's Degree 5.6 percent, and those who earn a Master's Degree 0 percent.  He calls prison education "the most cost-effective, proven method of reducing recidivism that the world currently knows of."

While some law-abiding American citizens might find the idea of educating prisoners as offensive to victims of crime, the team at PrisonEducation.com presents a strong refutation of this argument: while it costs upwards of $30,000 to $50,000 per year to incarcerate a single inmate, it only costs $2,000 to $3,782 to educate them at the college level.  For less than a tenth of the cost to incarcerate, American correctional administrators could educate those under their charge.  And this education could significantly reduce their rate of re-offense and re-arrest, which equates to reduced victimization and correction's costs.


To learn more about prison education's plethora of societal, economic, and correctional benefits, visit PrisonEducation.com, where the discussion continues every day with articles, videos, and research published by the world's leading correctional educators and researchers.
