film production vocabulary, get
hands-on training with industry-
standard film equipment, and put
their knowledge into practice.
Industry professionals who are
active in their respective fields will
lead the program. There are four
workshops to choose from: electric,
camera, office production assistant
and set production assistant. The
cost for the electrical or camera
team workshops is $200. The pro-
duction assistant class is $150.

Pet Play With A Superstar Twist
From Petmate's WWE Collection
(NAPS)--Exercise is a vital
part of a healthy lifestyle for pets.
I~hey need to get up and get
~ctive to stay healthy and fit.
And, just as for people, exercise is
mt only important for pets physi-
cally, but crucial to their mental
health as well. Consider these
three things:
1. Daily acti~ty helps improve
your dog's overall health and well-
being, specifically heart health,
which can help ensure he lives a
long and happy life. It's also impor-
tant for weight management,
maintaining proper muscle tone,
and bone health. Inactive dogs are
susceptible to becoming overweight
and obese, which can lead to many
health risks including diabetes,
arthritis and heart disease.
2.Exercise provides stimula-
tion, which can improve your dog's
mood and behavioral patterns. It
also helps to alleviate any tension
or anxiety your pet may be feel-
ing. Dogs that suffer from stress
and anxiety can develop behav-
ioral issues, which can hinder
social skills and training.
3. The amount of daily exercise
needed is different for every dog,
depending on the breed, age and
size. According to Dogtime.com,
"Generally speaking, a leashed
walk around the block isn't going
to cut it. Most dogs need 30 to 60
minutes of exercise per day." Dogs
that are smaller, older or over-
weight require less exercise than
younger, healthier dogs. For dogs
from herding, working or sporting
breeds, more exercise and run-
ning are needed to satisfy their
natural instincts.
Enjoyable Exercises
Here are a few helpful hints to
Pump Up Your Pet with a Super-
star twist from the WWE, where
passion plays into the fun, and
that can strengthen your bond.
• Set your dog up for a daily
walk around the neighborhood
sporting the soft and durable
WWE Adjustable Collars and
Leashes, which feature patterns of
WWE Superstars• Be sure to
switch up the route and length Of
your walks so your dog is exposed
to different areas and smells. You
Give your dog plenty of toys and
attention to help him get the
exercise he needs,
might even meet some new
friends along the way.
*Let your dog run, jump and
play at a dog park or doggy day
care to enjoy some four-legged
friendly fun. Interactive play is
key for getting your dog to move
around and also provides valuable
• bonding time and promotes active
behavioral patterns. You can play
a rigorous game of tug with the
Money in the Bank Tug Toy and
WWE Championship and Divas
Belt Tug Toys, each designed for
tough tug play between you and
your dog or for two dogs to wrestle
and tug together.
• Play a fun game of fetch with
the WWE Superstar Flyers, soft
durable disks that fly and float,
and feature the WWE logo and
Superstar images. You can also
toss around the WWE Plush Dog
Toys, which are made from tough :
plush fabric and feature WWE :;
Superstars The Rock, John Cena
and WWE Hall of Famer Stone
Cold Steve Austin.
• After exercising, let your dog
unwind in a WWE Pinch Corner
Lounger, designed to resemble the
wrestling ring, or a Divas Pillow
Bed. These soft, plush beds pro-
vide comfort and relaxation and :
may help your dog wake up feel- "
ing like a WWE champion, ....

Easy Math Tips For Parents:
Making Math Fun Outside The Classroom
(NAPS)--As parents, we un-
derstand the important role that
math plays in• our children's edu-
cation and the impact it has on
their lives and our own. Despite
this, we don't always recognize the
opportunities we have each day to
encourage our children's interest
in and knowledge of math.
Research has shown that chil-
dren develop a better understand-
ing of math when mathematical
principles are presented to them
as part off real-world scenarios.
Kasey Bratcher, a former mathe-
matics teacher who develops K-12
math teacher workshops for
Carnegie Learning, a publisher of
research-based mathematics soft-
ware and textbooks for middle
and high school students, provides
the following tips to keep math
relevant in your child's li~e outside
the classroom..
1.Ask questions...and an-
swer questions with questions.
When a child asks a question, it is
an opportunity to expand his or
her learning beyond just a simple
response. If your child asks how
many minutes it will take to drive
to the grocery store, it is perfectly
okay to respond with your own
question, such as "How many min-
utes do you think it will take to
drive to the store?"
This can lead to a broader dis-
cussion about the number of min-
utes in one hour, one h.alf-hour or
one quarter-hour. You can also dis-
cuss the length of time required to
travel from home to other places,
like school or Grandma's house. In
all mathematical conversations,
do not be too quick to give your
child the answer. Allow him or her
the time needed to process the
information given and formulate
the answer on his or her own.
2.Look for mathematics all
around you. Relating math to
everyday life situations has a
direct effect on how well children
learn and utilize mathematical
principles. Carnegie Learning, col-
laborating with researchers at
Southern Methodist University,
found that tailoring word prob-
lems to student interests results
in as much a~ a 40 percent im-
provement in performance, partic-
ularly for more difficult problems.
Research has shown that children
develop a better understanding of
math when mathematical princi-
ples are presented to them as part
of real-world scenarios.
"Children: are more enthusiastic
about learning when the topic pre-
sented is specific to their personal
interests," said Bratcher. "For
example, questions related to
gaming, sports, food or friends
will generate more attention from
students than asking them to cal-
culate the square footage of a
room."
Parents should also take ad-
vantage of everyday events that
can ]ncorporate mathematics. For
example, helping Morn or Dad in
the kitchen provides a great op-
portunity to practice fractions and
measurements, including calculat-
ing weights and amounts.
3. Make math a family affair.
Everyone in the family can play a
role in keeping math an ever-pres-
ent part of a child's day. Bratcher
often engages her kids through
friendly competitions at one of
their favorite restaurants. She
encourages her kids to figure out
the sale price of their soft drink or
milk shake by finding half, start-
ing with questions like "What's
half of $2.00?" and moving to more
difficult questions, like "What's
half of $1.80?"
Math is all around us, and
opportunities to deepen a child's
understanding of math principles
abound. By employing .mathemat-
ics to the world around them, kids
can sharpen their basic math
skills and even teach parents a
thing or two.
