However, Cortina said, early exposure is beneficial. When younger kids learn puter science, they learn that it39。s not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students. Breaking down problems into bitesized chunks and using code to solve them bees normal. Giving more children this training could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs gap, Cortina said. Students also benefit from learning something about coding before they get to college, where introductory puterscience classes are packed to the brim, which can drive the lessexperienced ordetermined students away. The Flatiron School, where people pay to learn programming, started as one of the many coding bootcamps that39。re interested in, said Victoria Friedman, an instructor. For instance, one of the apps the students are developing suggests movies based on your mood. The students in the Flatiron class probably won39。historic range. The crash was a major reason the . Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)decided to formally list the bird as threatened .The lesser prairie chicken is in a desperate situation , said USFWS Director Daniel Ashe. Some environmentalists, however, were disappointed. They had pushed the agency to designate the bird as endangered, a status that gives federal officials greater regulatory power to crack down on threats .But Ashe and others argued that the threatened tag gave the federal government flexibility to try out new, potentially less confrontational conservations approaches. In particular, they called for forging closer collaborations with western state governments, which are often uneasy with federal action. and with the private landowners who control an estimated 95% of the prairie chicken39。s seat for managing the species, Ashe said. Not everyone buys the winwin rhetoric. Some Congress members are trying to block the plan, and at least a dozen industry groups, four states, and three environmental groups are challenging it in federal court. Not surprisingly, doesn39。s too busy these days is a clich233。s never any time to read. What makes the problem thornier is that the usual timemanagement techniques don39。s full of articles offering tips on making time to read: Give up TV or Carry a book with you at all times. But in my experience, using such methods to free up the odd 30 minutes doesn39。re so exhausted that a challenging book39。 it is that one is actually inclined to interruption. Deep reading requires not just time, but a special kind of time which can39。ll manage only goalfocused readinguseful, sometimes, but not the most fulfilling kind. The future es at us like empty bottles along an unstoppable and nearly infinite conveyor belt, writes Gary Eberle in his book Sacred Time, and we feel a pressure to fill these differentsized bottles (days, hours, minutes) as they pass, for if they get by without being filled, we will have wasted them. No mindset could be worse for losing yourself in a book. So what does work? Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times for reading. You39。s flow into soul time. You could limit distractions by reading only physical books, or on singlepurpose ereaders. Carry a book with you at all times can actually work, tooproviding you dip in often enough, so that reading bees the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business, before dropping back down. On a really good day, it no longer feels as if you39。t work because . [A] what they can offer does not ease the modern
