Choosing Schools - All Kids Learn Differently

(NewsUSA) - Later this month, the nation's largest-ever celebration of educational opportunity will kick off. During National School Choice Week (Jan 26-Feb 1), 50,000 events and activities around the nation will raise awareness about K-12 education choices.

The real impact of school choice is what gives the Week such energy. A learning environment can change a life, sometimes unexpectedly. Remember the Dr. Seuss story featuring a character who, until he actually tries it, insists a dish of green eggs and ham is not for him? As President of National School Choice Week, I have the joy each month of hearing students, parents, and educators around the country share their own "green eggs and ham" moments.

A teacher who was ready to leave the education field - until she overcame her skepticism about teaching in a virtual school. A mom who never dreamed she'd homeschool - until her son's medical needs led her to discover its benefits. A student who felt out of place in his previous school, but is now happy and thriving in a different traditional public school.

That's the power of school choice. All children learn differently and families' needs vary. In the midst of healthy differences and human change, choice empowers families to access the learning environments that work for them now.

School choice recognizes that parents are best positioned to know their child's passion for botany, reading struggles, or penchant for drawing quirky cartoons. And those same parents are best qualified to choose their children's learning environments.

National School Choice Week celebrates traditional public, public charter, magnet, private, online, and home education. We celebrate and support families, too, whichever type of school they choose. That's because when families and schools bring their gifts together, students succeed.

All children deserve to close their school books at the end of each week inspired and equipped to give back. So, if you love your school, celebrate it during School Choice Week! If you're searching for a school, be willing to try something new to find the right fit. You might have a green-eggs- and-ham moment, when your child's frustration with learning turns into an excited "I do love it!"

Pop the Question with the Perfect Song

(NewsUSA) - Enhancing a once-in-a-lifetime event, such as a wedding proposal or ceremony, with the right song takes the experience to a whole new level. It adds a personal touch that makes for ongoing memories, as couples have the opportunity to play the song at anniversaries or other special events through the years.

Just in time for anyone planning to propose on Valentine's Day (or any day), an original song called "The First Time," by Del Henry, makes its debut February 1, 2019, on multiple channels, including iTunes, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Tidal, Spotify, Pandora, YouTube Music, Google Music Store, Shazam, and many more.

The release of the song coincides with a release of a video. The video version of "The First Time" being released is, in fact, the first time the song was performed live, at a wedding as a gift from the groom to the bride, and her reaction says it all.

"How can I say, in a most simple way/My living started when you came that day/ How can I tell you when all's said and done/ My Heaven started with you as the one."

Many couples can relate to these lyrics. The song stands out as an example of the power of music to capture a moment and move an audience, so it is both a personal and a shared experience.

Many of the guests seen in the video of the song's debut are as emotional as the bride, because the lyrics evoke memories of their own shared lives and ongoing love stories.

"It's truly a story about how and why couples come to the moment when they want to be together … 'eternally,' says David Shewmaker, the Minister conducting the ceremony.

"As a Groomsman, I could see Brandon's live performance and saw the audience's response, which was electric and moving. I was hearing the song for the first time too," says Tim Delany, a 23-year-old college graduate.

Lyrics such as "The first time I felt your eyes touch mine/The first time I felt your smile" can be part of the setting of a proposal on Valentine's Day or any day, but they are equally appropriate for an anniversary, whether a first or a fiftieth, or simply to thank someone for bringing joy to your life.

Use the song to show your affection for someone who matters to you, share the heartwarming video, and appreciate the skill of 18-year-old musician Brandon D. Henry, who performed "The First Time" for its first time at the recent wedding shown in the video, accompanied by master guitarist Dave Murdy.

Empty rooms

I sit here
all alone
Empty rooms
Quietness
Other than the whirring of a fan
No screaming of a young child playing
No cooing of a happy baby
Whirr whirr whirr
Which once was a house full of love and joy
Now feels like a nightmare I cant escape
Wishing
Hoping
Dreaming
That one day ill have that back again
The coos
The screams
The noises that irritate most parents are the ones I long for the most
The endless cuddles
The mommy mommy mommy
I just want it all back
I want a reason to get out of bed and do something
The darkness with them gone keeps closing in and I feel like it will never end
I feel like those coos
Those screams
Those giggles
Those cuddles
Those cries
Will never come back
I feel like the life im living now
Visiting my own kids like theyre my niece and nephew will never end
I've thought of burning cutting smoking drinking anything to concrete that pain and maybe just maybe take it all away
but I know if I do the pain will never go away because it may be the thing that takes it away forever
Those cries
Those coos
Those screams
Those giggles
Would never come back
So I sit here listening to the whirr of the fan hoping that one of these days that whirr isn't the only thing to fill these rooms

Energy-Based Devices Are The New Face of Beauty

(NewsUSA) - Beauty, like health, goes beyond the visible surface. While many of us manage our wellness via diet, exercise and check-ups, we don't apply the same 360-degree approach to our beauty regimen. It's possibly due to lack of viable options.

Neauvia International Group recognizes this incongruity and aims to transform the way we practice beauty and solve skin care challenges by extending its premium energy-based devices into the United States.

In the hands of trained medical aesthetics professionals, Neauvia devices leverage sophisticated technology such as thermo-lifting and water peeling to deeply target your areas of concern. With years in the global skin care market, Neauvia's approach pairs this advanced technology with specially formulated skin care for remarkable results.

"Over a decade of Neauvia's international skin care success has taught us that a single product does not meet the overall demands of and desired outcomes for patients or providers," says Sean Wilson, President of newly launched Neauvia North America. Best-in-class treatments do, however. They also require training and certification. So, take time to research your local plastic surgeons, dermatologists, aestheticians and med spas because they offer you access to these revolutionary non-invasive treatments that are not available for home use, and to professionals qualified to use them. They'll work with you to customize an optimal treatment plan to achieve your desired results.

Often, using multiple technologies per session yields a marked difference. The Zaffiro treatment combines thermo-lift technology with the gentle exfoliation of water-resurfacing and specific solutions for your skin type and desired results. It delivers lifted, tightened and hydrated skin with less visible lines and wrinkles.

Energy-based devices strengthen and surpass home treatments. Let's say you love the fresh feeling and smooth, even texture of your skin after you do an at-home face scrub. Try adding a water-peeling facial like the Zaffiro treatment once a month for more deeply cleansed and revitalized skin.

Treatments can rejuvenate beyond your face and neck. Zaffiro's thermo-lift technology gradually heats the deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and prompting lifting and tightening effects. It can be applied to tighten the décolleté and upper arm skin, give the tummy and derriere a firm appearance and even help tighten up post-pregnancy belly skin.

Innovative energy-based devices can yield beautiful effects by working with the body's natural functions in a way that is safe, reliable, and non-invasive. They're less costly and require little to no downtime. This makes them an excellent way to fine tune your appearance and delay signs of aging without a lengthy recovery time. In fact, many of these innovative treatments provide results when done over a lunch hour! Dr. Joshua Weitz, MD, CEO of Dermatology Associates of Rochester sees them growing in appeal and use. "The non-invasive market is the future, and I anticipate Neauvia will be a guiding light in providing exceptional solutions," Weitz says.

A well-rounded skin routine ensures that your actions - daily, monthly, over time - compound for outstanding outcomes. Incorporating treatments using Neauvia energy-based devices is simple yet addresses the complexity of your skin and helps attain your best overall skin health and appearance.

3 Flavor-packed dishes native to Pakistan

1.Nihari,

Nihari is a delicious meat stew loved by people all over the world,

for its radiant beautiful aroma, rich savory flavor and tender fall of the bone meat which completely dissolves into your mouth giving you an experience of a lifetime.

It was originally invented in the 1800s to be consumed as a high energy, rich in nutrition and heavy on stomach dish

to keep the working-class citizens full all day long and to provide required energy.

However, in today's era it is eaten for its magical flavor which gives your tongue the flavor it craves!

The word Nihari comes from an Arabic word “Nahar” which means “Morning” as it was usually enjoyed in the daytime/early morning Its mouthwatering flavor attracted the Mughal Emperors (Nawabs) of that time who ate this delicacy to break their morning fasts.

It is traditionally served with naan (a fermented bread baked in a clay oven)

2. Namkeen rosh,

The word “Namkeen” in Urdu means “salty” As the name suggests it is this simple salty tender piece of meat which may not sound delicious to ‘ocean haters’ but, those who have tasted all confirm that it is indeed Delightful.

The ingredients only include;

. Diced Ginger & Garlic

. Meat (small pieces preferably fatty cuts)

. And most important Salt which gives this dish its signature taste.

Now begins the time to wait, to make the meat tender and melt in your mouth. After the meat is done garnish it with some green chilies and ginger (preferably; lengthwise). It is traditionally served with its own broth (yakhnee) and naan. It is quite popular and mostly enjoyed in the northern mountainous regions of the country as it helps the locals stay warm and meet body’s salt requirement.

3. Chicken tikka,

Tikka (BBQ chicken generally well charred, spicy and tangy in flavor) is the dream of every meat loving person.

It is enjoyed all over the sub-continent and the name of United Kingdom is also included in this list. Traditionally small boneless chicken pieces are marinated with traditional species and yoghurt (dahi) to tenderize and break down the meat fibers with vertical cuts all over the chicken to let it completely absorb the flavor. the meat is cooked over open fire (angheeti) OR they are grilled over charcoals.

The word “Tikka” is a Persian word meaning “bits / pieces” but if we listen to the people who have tried it, we can all agree that it should mean “outstanding flavor” because that's all this dish offers.

How to Market Your Social Media Profile

Social media is a search engine. Learn how to get found. Marketing

If you're on social media but no one's finding you, you're not a ghost—you’re just invisible.

Let’s have a little truth fest, shall we?

You keep posting. You're dancing. You're showing your iced coffee. You're even dropping wisdom that should get you a book deal. But the only one liking your stuff is your aunt Tammy and that one MLM girl who’s always “cheering you on.”

Mama, let me say this with love and a strong shot of espresso (decaf if you're off caffeine like a psycho):
Social media is not just for showing up. It's for getting found.

That’s right. Instagram. TikTok. Pinterest. Facebook. Even LinkedIn if you’re feeling fancy.
They’re not just platforms — they are search engines in glitter and crop tops.
Social Media = Search Engine (Yes, Really)

Let me break it down like your toddler breaks down when you cut the sandwich the wrong way.

All of these platforms have search bars. You know what that means?
People are typing things like:

“Mom blog”

“Easy vegan toddler meals”

“Freelance writing tips”

“Jesus and coffee memes” (okay maybe that’s just me)

If your profile isn’t optimized, you could be serving up exactly what they need—and still be chilling in the shadow realm of the algorithm. No ma’am. We don’t do invisible over here.
1. Your Name Is Prime Real Estate

Stop putting “✨Mama of 3✨” in your name field. I love your babies, but that’s not what people are searching.

Instead, tell the algorithm what you do.
Example:
Erica | SEO Copywriter for Moms
or
Jess | Pinterest Coach for Bloggers

Now when someone types “Pinterest coach,” boom. You’re in the game.
2. Your Bio Is a Mini Sales Page

That little box? It’s not a throwaway. It's not for inspirational quotes. It’s for hooking followers like the savvy mama boss you are.

Format cheat code:

Short. Sassy. Searchable. Yes please.
3. Keywords. Yep, Even on Instagram.

Pinterest mamas already know the power of keywords. But IG? TikTok? Yes girl. They’ve been creeping on your captions this whole time.

Use the exact words your dream audience would type. You’re not just posting a reel. You’re posting a searchable piece of content.

Instead of:
“Loved making this for dinner!”
Try:
“Easy one-pan vegan meal for busy moms 🍽️ #veganrecipes #quickdinnerideas #momlifehacks”

Don’t keyword stuff. We’re not robots. But do give the platform something to latch onto.
4. Hashtags Aren’t Dead, They’re Just Boring If You Use ‘#Blessed’

Choose hashtags that are specific to your niche and content. Think of them as little roads leading people to your profile.

#MomBloggerTips

#ChristianMomsWhoWrite

#FreelanceWritingLife

#FaithBasedBiz

Keep a rotating list. And for the love of viral reach, don’t just copy and paste the same 30 dead hashtags on every post.
5. Your Content Needs to Scream “Hey Algorithm, Pick Me!”

Here’s the hard truth, boo:

If you're just vibing, you're blending in.

Your content needs to answer questions, solve problems, or entertain in a way that makes the algorithm go, “Ooh, I know someone who’d love this.”

So instead of vague captions like,
“Just showing up today 🥰”
Try:
“Here’s how I built a blog that gets 1,000+ monthly visits—with no tech degree and 3 kids screaming in the background.”

Because THAT, my friend, is search engine gold.
Final Word from Your Favorite Truth-Teller

You’re not too late. You’re not too old. You’re not too small.
You’re just not searchable—yet.

Social media doesn’t reward mystery. It rewards clarity.
So rewrite that bio. Add keywords to your captions. Use that name field like your business depends on it—because it kinda does.

And if you're still feeling stuck, don’t worry—I got you.
Follow me for more great tips or DM me with questions.

Now go make the algorithm your sidekick, Mama.
You’re building an empire—and empires don’t hide.

Social media is a search engine. Learn how to get found. <a onclick="$('#phonebook-category-no-city').val($(this).text());" class="coolinks btn-scroll hashword" href="https://stallios.com/blogs/category/1">Marketing</a> Category: Marketing - in Blogs If you're on social media but no one's finding you, you're not a ghost—you’re just invisible. Let’s have a little truth fest, shall we? You keep posting. You're dancing. You're showing your iced coffee. You're even dropping wisdom that should get you a book deal. But the only one liking your stuff is your aunt Tammy and that one MLM girl who’s always “cheering you on.” Mama, let me say this with love and a strong shot of espresso (decaf if you're off caffeine like a psycho): Social media is not just for showing up. It's for getting found. That’s right. Instagram. TikTok. Pinterest. Facebook. Even LinkedIn if you’re feeling fancy. They’re not just platforms — they are search engines in glitter and crop tops. Social Media = Search Engine (Yes, Really) Let me break it down like your toddler breaks down when you cut the sandwich the wrong way. All of these platforms have search bars. You know what that means? People are typing things like: “Mom blog” “Easy vegan toddler meals” “Freelance writing tips” “Jesus and coffee memes” (okay maybe that’s just me) If your profile isn’t optimized, you could be serving up exactly what they need—and still be chilling in the shadow realm of the algorithm.

Life's Biggest Moments Take Center Stage in New UP TV Series

(NewsUSA) - As warm weather approaches, so does wedding season, and family-focused entertainment network UP TV heads down the aisle with a pair of new, unscripted series set to debut this summer.

The series, "Our Wedding Story," takes viewers inside the relationships between the brides and grooms. With exceptional and cinematic storytelling, viewers will get to live each couple's love story - from the moment they met to the walk down the aisle.

In "Crazy Beautiful Weddings," viewers go behind the scenes with busy wedding planner Lynzie Kent. Wedding planning is an art and a science, and Ms. Kent brings her style and people skills as she navigates diverse tastes, the couples' visions and various venues, to create one-of-a-kind celebrations for her clients that will make the big day something to remember.

"On UP, our viewers have seen the families in our beloved series exploring new relationships, planning weddings and having kids," Amy Winter, executive vice present and general manager of UP TV, says in a statement announcing the shows.

"By greenlighting new series that focus on those specific life moments, we invite our audience to experience all of the joy and excitement that many different couples are going through as they share their personal journeys of life's biggest moments," she says.

The pair of wedding programs complement new episodes of two existing shows that highlight another one of life's biggest moments - the journey to parenthood.

This spring, UP premieres new episodes of its groundbreaking series, "Expecting," which follows expectant parents as they prepare for a new addition to the family. With no producers or camera crews, it is the first show that asks couples to turn the lens on themselves, to give the audience a peek into one of life's most exciting and personal journeys - welcoming a child.

Also premiering in April is "One Born Every Minute." The series takes viewers inside a hospital maternity unit to experience the joy, excitement and drama as babies are delivered.

UP is available on DIRECTV, DISH, Verizon Fios, AT&T U-verse, Xfinity and local cable. For more information about the family-friendly programming and where you can find the channel, go to UPtv.com.
