One in 12 beauty and personal care products marketed to African-American women in the U.S. contains highly hazardous ingredients, according to research released by the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit environmental organization in the US specializing in research and advocacy.

Do you know which holidays the employees in your workforce celebrate? When it comes to office decorations, staff parties and time off, managers should be flexible and accommodating whenever possible, while soliciting ideas from the rank and file, experts say. "Most of our clients are trying to be as inclusive as possible year-round," said Carol Sladek, a work/life expert for Chicago-based Aon Hewitt, a human resources and management consulting firm. "That's particularly important around the holidays. They have folks of lots of different religions and practices that don't necessarily follow the holiday calendar we are used to. Creating that atmosphere of inclusion around the office is important."

 Do you feel energized at the end of the workday? Or does your work experience drain you so much you're just happy to make it through the day? If you're like most people, you're probably somewhere between just doing OK and slogging through. It's frustrating. And, like most employees, you would probably be labeled as "disengaged." Why is that? A key reason is likely communication breakdowns between leaders and the workforce. They make work harder than it should be.

 "Follow the leader" is a game in which the participants copy the actions and words of a person who has been chosen as leader. In many ways, this mirrors the instruction of a special educator and her resource students. Research and best practice has proven that direct instruction is a form of instruction that is effective for students with learning disabilities. But teachers must reverse the process and begin to follow the students in order for them to thrive.

Founder and director of TeachThought, Terry Heick writes: "What is transfer?
In 'Using Self-Transfer To Drive 21st Century Assessment,' I offered that transfer was 'the practice of applying knowledge or meaning from a familiar context to an unfamiliar context.' Further, 'This movement requires re-contextualizing what they know, which first requires that they strip 'what they know' of all context, consider it in isolation, then adapt it to work elsewhere, a cognitively demanding practice.
