The guide, developed for both literate and non-literate adults, serves three purposes: (1) as a visual aid for the classroom, with pictures introducing English in situations relevant to parenting; (2; as a recor 'or parents participating in the parenting class, for indivi...ual practice between classes; and (3) a guide for the teacher for further work in the parents' primary languages, addressing problems and concerns in parenting. Ideas for primary language instruction are included in the individual lesson plans for each unit, contained in the teaching guide. Curriculum unit topics include: education (school organization, registration, at school, parent-teacher communication, visiting your child's school, student evaluation); parenting (family, sharing feelings, developmental stages, helpful hints for parents, working within schedules, using the public library); nutrition (food groups, common foods in the United States, making wise food choices); math (cardinal and ordinal numbers, money, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division); health (children's health problems, forms of medicine, taking your child's temperature, dental health); safety (traffic and home); and citizenship (interview and naturalization).

Methods: Patients with RR-HRNB were eligible. There were randomizations (rand), in a 3x2 factorial design, to: T, IT or topotecan (To)-T, +/- B. Toxicity and response were reported in 2019 (ASCO, ESMO). Survival outcomes – progression-free (PFS) and overall (OS) – for the I and B rands are reported here (To rand is still open). The B rand used a relaxed alpha (1-sided p=0.2) for PFS as its phase 2 success criterion; the I rand was Bayesian. Cox model hazard ratios (HR) <1.0 indicate benefit for I or B. Heterogeneity tests (HT) assessed interactions between B and I. Analysis was intention-to-treat. Results: From 2013-19, 160 patients were randomized to B v. no B, including 121 to I v. no I, with: median age 5.8 years; 113 and 47 measurable and evaluable disease; 67 and ...

Black Americans have not shared in the material wealth in America because blacks are systematically excluded as trespassers in the white world on the basis of race, not speech. The assumption that the first step to economic security is "good speech" is incongruous with the indisputable experience of blacks. Blacks, realizing this, are attempting to glorify the legitimacy and viability of their heritage and recognize it as one of many valid means of linguistic expression. The educational frames of reference should be changed and there should be means for developing new lines of orientation. The author presents a genuinely black frame of reference for ideological and theoretical consideration. Affect is postulated as the crucial component. The author suggests several thematic activities within the black frame of reference.

Initial comments underline the need for educating teachers in communication behavior and teaching methods. The complex nature of the problem under review indicates the need for careful delineation of the problem for effective research and clear distinctions between the structure and function of black children's language. The role of learning interference must also be determined. There is a growing mandate for accountability in such research, because inaccurate research has fostered hostility and resentment. The researcher must contemplate the need for justifying the research to the researched, lest he subject himself to the accusation of the acquisition of data pursuant to re-making it into another group's image.

But she rejects the proposition that the black student become highly skilled only in black communication. Rather, she advo cates building a repertoire of communication devices his own culture does not provide, in the hope that a process of mutual linguistic accommodation may produce a language adopted as "ours" in both white and black cultures.

The existing information on the vomeronasal system of anurans is particularly sparse. Amphibians represent a transitional stage in the evolution of the olfactory system. Most species have anatomically separated main and vomeronasal systems, but recent studies have shown that in anurans their molecular separation is still underway. Sulfated steroids function as migratory pheromones in lamprey and have recently been identified as natural vomeronasal stimuli in rodents. Here we identified sulfated steroids as the first known class of vomeronasal stimuli in the amphibian Xenopus laevis. We show that sulfated steroids are detected and concurrently processed by the two distinct olfactory subsystems of larval Xenopus laevis, the main olfactory system and the vomeronasal system. Our data revealed a similar but partially different processing of steroid-in...
