The article announces that Missy Testerman has been named the 2024 National Teacher of the Year for her exceptional dedication to supporting all students, particularly those from diverse and immigrant backgrounds, in her rural Tennessee community.

The article focuses on the neglected condition of school buildings, particularly the impact of poor indoor air quality and extreme temperatures on students and educators. Topics include the health risks associated with mold and pollutants, the absence of national or state standards for monitoring air quality, and the efforts by educators and unions to address these issues through advocacy and collective bargaining.

Sonographers experience stress-related musculoskeletal injuries at alarming rates. The magnitude of the problem has resulted in substantial economic and human costs. Early efforts, such as the transposition of office ergonomic models to the ultrasound suite, have been only marginally successful because of the vast difference between clerical and sonography work demands. In addition, although the issue has attracted the attention of professional sonographer societies, equipment manufacturers, and governmental agencies, such as the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health), the causative mechanisms by which sonographers are injured remain inadequately addressed. A definitive ergonomic solution has been elusive.With the help of occupational therapists and biomechanical engineers, we have developed a number of possible ergonomic modifications of ultrasound equipment. We explain the rationale behind these approaches to transducer design and assess the strengths and deficiencies of each.

First, I drew the sketch with a pencil and then used colored 0.4mm fine-tipped liner pens to create small dots, erasing the pencil sketch in small sections as I worked on the drawing. The surface of a graphite drawing is too slick to accept colored pencil, so I sprayed it with workable fixative to add some tooth, then lightly added colored pencil.

The User Configurable Open System (UCOS) usage of a distributed control system with PLC/MMI technology is discussed. Ideal features in cement manufacturing applications would include a system which is easy to use and maintain at a low cost. The UCOS system integrates total control system development, MMI, controller software and I/O scanning capabilities which are easily configured and are flexible enough to work with non-proprietary hardware. Low long-term maintenance costs are anticipated.

The article discusses the plea of educators, parents, and students to rural school board members to generate resources for the retention of 10 social workers following plans to lay them off as of October 2023. Topics covered include the social workers' mental health and life-saving services amid a county marred by poverty, crime and opioid addiction, and their regular interaction with kids of the community. Also noted are the heightened levels of stress and trauma experienced by students.
