Monster Energy’s Max Holloway Defends Featherweight Title Against Frankie Edgar and Cristiane ‘Cyborg’ Justino Defeats Newcomer Felicia Spencer at UFC 240

UFC 240 is a wrap and Max Keliʻi Holloway remains the undisputed UFC Featherweight Champion. Monster Energy congratulates the 27-year-old Hawaiian MMA super star on his unanimous decision win against Frankie Edgar to defend his 145-pound title for a third time in the main event at Rogers Arena in Edmonton, Canada, on Saturday.

In the night's co-main event, Monster Energy's Cristiane 'Cyborg' Justino dealt upcoming Felicia Spencer her first career defeat in the Women's Featherweight division in front of a packed arena of Canadian MMA fans.

Let's start with the Championship match: The title bout between Max 'Blessed' Holloway and Frankie 'The Answer' Edgar had been a long time coming. The two Featherweight fighters were already supposed to square off at UFC 218 in late 2017 and UFC 222 in February 2018. But both fights had to be cancelled due to injuries – first Edgar then Holloway – at the time.

Now it was on! With Holloway putting his 145-pound title on the line against the former Lightweight champion, the crowd was in for a collision of different fighting styles: Holloway's record-breaking striking ability versus Edgar's penchant for wrestling-style takedowns. Who would retain the upper hand, especially keeping in mind that Holloway is a solid ten years younger than the future Hall of Famer?

It was Edgar who took the initiative right from the opening bell. The 37-year-old from Toms River, New Jersey came charging at his opponent, looking for openings to secure a takedown and pin 'Blessed' to the mat. But Holloway remained vigilant, putting a stop on Edgar's grapples and retaliating with heavy-hitting power shots at every turn.

The challenger maintained the pressure in his first shot at defeating the 145-pound king, but Holloway fired back with surgical precision. Demonstrating why he reigns as the single most prolific striker in UFC history, he bloodied Edgar's nose early on with a right hand. Holloway left his opponent reeling with a spinning back kick followed by a sequence of heavy uppercuts at the end of round two.

Edgar finally landed the only takedown of the night in round three, barely escaping a series of potentially finishing uppercuts. But Holloway kept the fight in the upright position and maintained his dominance with hard rights until the very end. After the highly competitive fight had gone the entire five rounds, Holloway took the win in a sweep on the judges' scorecards: The final scores read 50-45, 49-46, and 48-47, all in favor of Holloway, who defeated 13 of 14 takedown attempts.

"Everybody said I wasn't able to wrestle with this guy. I wanted to prove a point and go five rounds with him to let the world know that I'm here to stay and the 'Blessed Express' is still on the move," said Max Holloway upon defending his UFC Featherweight title on Saturday.

Saturday's win raises Max Holloway's MMA record to 21-4. It also marks his 13th consecutive Featherweight victory, officially the longest winning streak for a 145-pound fighter in UFC history. Well on his way to building a legacy as the sport's greatest Featherweight fighter, he is now only one victory short of Jose Aldo's combined record under WEC and UFC banners. And having defended his Featherweight title for the third time, Holloway's future holds a number of high-profile match-ups, including Chang Sung Jung and Zabit Magomedsharipov.

In the night's co-main event, Monster Energy's Cristiane 'Cyborg' Justino, born in Brazil and fighting out of San Diego, went blow-for-blow against 28-year-old rookie Felicia Spencer from Montreal in a three-round Women's Featherweight match.

Cyborg came into the bout under pressure for two reasons: First, because she suffered a knockout loss in her Featherweight Championship fight against Amanda Nunes in December; her first defeat in 13 years. And second, because UFC 240 marked the final fight on her UFC contract, so a win would send her into contract negotiations on strong footing.

Getting the victory was no walk in the park for Cyborg. Spencer is known as a talented submission specialist and climbed into the Octagon at UFC 240 undefeated with a seven-win MMA record. Wasting no time, Spencer bloodied Cyborg's face by landing a surprise elbow to the forehead in round one, only to set off the native Brazilian's killer instinct.

Jolted by suffering the very first cut of her entire career, the Muay Thai black belt proceeded to pummel Spencer with jabs, knee shots, and kicks to the lead leg. But whereas most previous opponents had succumbed to Cyborg's power shots, the Canadian absorbed the barrage impressively, although offering little by ways of putting Cyborg into serious trouble.

As Cyborg's continued to unleash her entire arsenal, Spencer demonstrated toughness – except for a heavy round three elbow in the clinch – and stood her ground until the final bell. But there was never a doubt who inflicted the most damage: The judges handed the fight to Cyborg via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27), sealing Spencer's first career defeat.

"I trained really hard. Thanks to Felicia for giving me my first cut. I'm happy. I just want to come back and do my job. Thank you, God. I feel very blessed to be here," said Cyborg upon winning her fight at UFC 240 in Edmonton.

Saturday night's victory puts Cyborg (21-2, 1 NC) back in the winner's circle. She proceeded to call out Nunes for a rematch for the UFC Women's Featherweight title immediately after the fight. That same night, Nunes responded in the positive on Twitter, stating that she is, "ready for this… again." Whether the fight will happen and under which franchise Cyborg decides to continue her MMA career will be revealed over the next coming weeks, so stay tuned! Read all the related news.

New Surveys of Parents and Teachers Finds Perception Disconnects on Communication, Engagement

ClassTag, a leading communication app, today released the findings of "Parent's Perspectives", a survey of more than 1,000 parents of current K12 students, as part of the "The State of Teacher - Parent Engagement 2019", a comprehensive report which also surveyed over 1,000 primary educators earlier this year. The latest survey results reveal that parents and teachers have several different, significant views on home to school engagement. Read all the latest news.

According to "Parent Perspectives", 39 percent of parents gave the highest marks in communication to teachers this past school year. The plurality of parents (29%) said the communication was "excellent". Only four percent of all parents gave teachers a score of one of ten.

Read related news here.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/a-focus-on-heart-health-risks-in-new.html

This contrasts with the results of the Teacher's Perspectives which found that almost half of all teachers (48%) reported that at least a quarter of their students' families were, "hard to reach and engage". The 2018 survey, found similar levels of teacher difficulty in engaging parents and families.

Read latest news here.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/jabberjot-experts-say-award-winning.html

"The findings paint a picture where teachers continue to report significant levels of missing engagement by parents or guardians while parents tend to think their teachers are doing a good job of communicating," said Vlada Lotkina, Co-founder and CEO of ClassTag. "It's clear that both teachers and parents see teachers tossing the ball, but teachers still don't feel that families are catching it," she said.

That difference is especially enlightening considering the survey results on who has the responsibility for learning. According to teachers, parents "thinking that education is a teacher's job, not a teamwork between parents and teachers" was one of the biggest barriers to effective communication between teachers and families. But when asked, nearly three-quarters (73%) of parents said that, "it's a joint responsibility between myself and teachers to ensure my child has a good education." Less than nine percent said, "education is a teacher's job."

A third of teachers also reported that "conflicting parent expectations" in terms of communications channels and frequency are a key roadblock for effective parent communication, while a majority (73%) of parents suggest that they would either "love to customize their communications preferences" or "would likely do so". More info here.

"This is exactly the role of ClassTag which helps to close this gap by giving teachers one easy communication channel while delivering the information in the modality and frequency preferred by the parent, whether it's e-mail, text, app, web or even paper," said Lotkina.

In another apparent misaligned view, parents say what they want most in teacher communication is "pictures and video about a day at school." But in the teacher survey, two-thirds of teachers said the top requests from parents were, "about their child's academics and behaviors" followed by "when things are due."

Other noteworthy findings from the parent survey include:

The "Parent's Perspective" was conducted online and had 1,072 responses from parents in 48 states with children in all types of schools, from early childhood through high school. The results of the first 2019 Teacher's Perspective survey, was released in June. For more information or to download the full report, please visit: http://www.classtag.com/research.

Out Now: Avian Invasion Releases “Carnival of Animals” (Bass Rebels)

Whimsical. Electric. Stirring. Read news here.

Avian Invasion's "Carnival of Animals" is pure delight for electronic dance music (EDM) lovers of all feathers. Instantly grabbing the listener with an accordion riff, the song possesses a ripping bassline and a warm, thick 4/4 beat. The male vocal lead is sung by Avian Invasion himself and the original song demonstrates the artist's skill as a music producer. "Carnival of Animals" pays homage to Avian Invasion's legions of fans – known collectively as "the invasion" – who come out to see him perform at geek culture conventions including those where attendees come dressed as human-sized animals, a practice also known as 'cosplay.' "Carnival of Animals" could easily be plucked from the soundtrack of an animated short, such is its all-ages, electronic music appeal. The rapid-fire synths and gently monstrous bassline on this impossibly catchy song ensure that it lingers in one's head for days.

ASHA Applauds Proposed New Legislation Providing Medicare Beneficiaries Better Access to Audiologists’ Services

New bipartisan legislation introduced by Reps. Tom Rice (R-SC) and Matt Cartwright (D-PA) yesterday in the U.S. House of Representatives would significantly enhance federal benefits for hearing health by providing Medicare beneficiaries critical direct access to both diagnostic and therapeutic services of audiologists—a move championed by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). The bill, the Medicare Audiologist Access and Services Act of 2019, is also endorsed by the American Academy of Audiology (AAA) and Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA).

The legislation (H.R. 4056) would remove unnecessary barriers to hearing health care under Medicare, allowing patients to receive appropriate, timely, and cost-effective audiologic services. Currently, Medicare requires a physician order for patients to see an audiologist—and covers only diagnostic services provided by the audiologist without allowing for follow-up treatment or a plan of care.

Read here.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-best-brain-toys-media-for-teachers.html

By allowing direct access to audiologic services and streamlining Medicare coverage policies so that audiologists can provide the full range of Medicare-covered diagnostic and treatment services that correspond to their scope of practice, the legislation can improve health outcomes for beneficiaries. The legislation would also reclassify audiologists as practitioners, which is consistent with the way Medicare recognizes other non-physician providers, such as clinical psychologists, clinical social workers, and advanced practice registered nurses.

The legislation is supported by a bipartisan group of legislators that includes U.S. Representatives Mark Meadows (R-NC), Ralph Norman (R-SC), Mike Kelly (R-PA), Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), Brad Schneider (D-IL), Ann Kuster (D-NH), Gus Bilirakis (R-FL), and Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE).

"Seniors who suffer from hearing conditions shouldn't have to jump through hoops to see their preferred audiologist," said Rep. Rice. "The Medicare Audiology Access and Services Act cuts through the red tape to help Medicare patients access quality, affordable care. I will continue to reach across the aisle to find straightforward solutions to health care problems."

"It is imperative that Congress move this legislation through quickly to ensure that Medicare beneficiaries have timely access to audiologists' diagnostic and therapeutic services for hearing and balance conditions," ASHA President Shari Robertson, PhD, said. "Untreated hearing loss can adversely affect quality of life and lead to other conditions, such as cognitive decline, depression, anxiety, and social isolation."

Hearing loss is one of the most common, chronic health conditions facing seniors. Nearly 25% of adults ages 65–74 and 50% of those who are ages 75 and older have disabling hearing loss, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.

About the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA)
ASHA is the national professional, scientific, and credentialing association for 204,000 members and affiliates who are audiologists; speech-language pathologists; speech, language, and hearing scientists; audiology and speech-language pathology support personnel; and students. Audiologists specialize in preventing and assessing hearing and balance disorders as well as providing audiologic treatment, including hearing aids. Speech-language pathologists identify, assess, and treat speech and language problems, including swallowing disorders. http://www.asha.org
