Socioeconomic status (SES) is the social status as measured by income, education and occupation (Placeholder5). SES influences educational outcomes, for example low-income families are unlikely to have the financial resources to purchase learning materials (Aikens & Barbarin, 2008) such as books or computers to create a supportive learning environment (Orr, 2003). The lack of resources ch widens the educational gap between rich and poor children (Hart, 2013; Lubienski, 2002). Research indicates that
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, or ANWR, is a refuge geared toward preserving national wildlife in northeastern Alaska. ANWR is about 19 million acres, in space, and contains a potential drilling spot for oil and petroleum. The potential drilling spot is a small area known as the 10-02 Area. It is only 1.5 million acres, or 8%, of ANWR, would even be considered for development (What is ANWR). The controversy surrounding ANWR is whether to drill or not to drill into the 10-02 area. Some people want
During my interview with Speech Pathologist, Deborah Kirsch, I learned countless details about the Speech Pathology career field.

It reduces by nearly 17 degrees in the people above 65 (Burg 1968). Vision field loss 1. According to the data available, it is noted that the chances of developing visual field loss in the age of 16 yrs to 60 years is nearly 3 to 3.5 % which increases to nearly 13% for the people above 65 years of age.(Johnson and Keltner, 1983). 2. For individuals above the age of 65, the risk of development of visual field defects increase by nearly five times than the individuals below this age. (Johnson
