Arizona doctors and health care professionals today urged adults to get their COVID-19 vaccination booster shot if it's been six months since their last shot, and encouraged partents to get their children vaccinated against COVID-19 to slow the spread of the disease, which is filling up hospital beds and straining health care workers and resources statewide.
If children get their first COVID-19 vaccine now, they could be fully vaccinated by the time they return to school in January after winter break, making in-person learning safer, doctors said.
Arizona Dept. of Health Services video: Dr. Richard Carmona and Hospital Medical Leaders on Nov. 23, 2021
Last week, 94% of all inpatient hospital beds and all hospital intensive care unit beds in Arizona were full. COVID-19 patients took up more than one-third of those ICU beds, a ratio that pushes hospitals to capacity and beyond. Unvaccinated people make up more than 80 percent of hospitalized patients and fatalities in Arizona.

"The current circulating variant of COVID-19 is highly infectious and highly transmissable even if you're fully vaccinated like myself and my colleagues," said Dr. Keith Frey, chief medical officer of Dignity Health at the event. "We want to remind you of those mitigation or safety procedures that we've shared with you over the last 20 months, as we particularly this week gather as families and friends to enjoy this Thanksgiving season."
"I know we're all tired of this. It's been a long haul. Wearing a mask, washing our hands, it's out of our ordinary routine, but it is so important right now as we move into this next season where gatherings naturally occur that you follow our recommendations on wearing a mask whether you're vaccinated or not, maintaining social distancing, great hand hygiene," Dr. Frey said.

Dr. Frey also suggested that families consider gathering outdoors to enjoy their Thanksgiving feast with the great Arizona weather we'll have this week.
He also reminded anyone with any symptoms of COVID-19 infections to avoid any holiday gatherings.
Parents and other adults who have questions about the COVID-19 vaccine are encouraged to speak with their doctor and get information from them, said Dr. Kara Geren, an emergency medicine specialist in Scottsdale.
"I have seen COVID-19 ravage families leaving children without parents and grandparents and putting children in the hospital for months; getting adults and children vaccinated against COVID-19 is our best path out of this pandemic," Dr. Geren said.

As more people get vaccinated, the virus that causes COVID-19 has fewer hosts to infect and multiply in, which drastically reduces community transmission, but Arizona still has a long way to go to achieve this, said Dr. Cadey Harrel, a family physician in Tucson and the Arizona State Lead for the Committee to Protect Health Care.
"Vaccinating as many kids and adults now is how we can keep our schools open so children can learn in-person safely, without sudden closings that affect all families and disproportionately impact low-income, underserved families," Dr. Harrel said.
"When schools suddenly close because of COVID-19, many parents aren't afforded the luxury of time off or costly child care, and may not have access to the internet for remote learning," Dr. Harrel said.
"Widespread vaccinations now can help make the holiday season a little safer and merrier for all Arizona families," Dr. Harrel said. "The best gift we can give to our families is a holiday season they can enjoy without worrying whether they'll get infected with a virus that has sickened 1.2 million Arizonans and is now the leading killer in our state."
Confirmed COVID-19 cases rose to 1,248,184 statewide today, up from 1,245,127 yesterday, and 22,062 people have died from COVID-19 in Arizona since the pandemic began.
Today's #COVID19 update adds 3,057 cases and 120 deaths. Cases added are lower than they'd otherwise be due to a reporting issue with one provider.

In their daily work, real estate agents need to deal with all types of people. In addition, there are some customers who are a great challenge to professionals, difficult customers are one of them. Have you established a relationship with a customer that is considered difficult? The difficulty is usually related to the broker's preparation. If the client puts himself in a defensive or even offensive position, it is because he usually does not have confidence in his relationship with the agent.
The house sale in São Paulo can be made easier with this type of client you master some techniques, read on and learn how to take action to meet this customer profile.
However, the situation will change when the client realizes that the broker is a qualified professional and, most importantly, starts paying attention to their real needs. First of all, it is important not to be in a hurry and it is difficult to appoint customers in the first minutes of service. It is necessary to change our vision and attitude, so, over time, I excluded the term "difficult customer" from my daily life and started to understand him as a "reactive customer"
For some reason, the client's emotional reaction is now more intense, and the real estate agent decides whether to offer an experience that can balance these emotions. It is important to note that people often come from poor service experiences.
Nowadays, in various situations, there is a feeling that the seller is helping the customer, therefore, the potential buyer is usually flooded with defense, so the difficult customer's label appears, that is, he came due to the previous experience, they can easily face bad service. So, have emotional intelligence and know-how to act with these clients, do not try to fight back with rudeness or increase your tone of voice, let alone be sarcastic.
When we build relationships with clients of this type, the tendency is that the emotions of real estate agents also increase, because humans do not always know how to deal with dissent. However, it is important to know that your dissatisfaction is not with you, that is, it is not with you, but with the presence of the seller represented by the real estate agent at the time. Knowing this is a way to balance emotions.
When entering the service, the client expects the broker to be a specialist in the real estate market, so that he can solve all his doubts. Therefore, it is necessary to always be prepared to understand our products and the markets where the products are inserted. When we frustrate our customers' expectations, we take advantage of difficult customers.
If customers are used to react, they need to be more objective. In this case, the realtor's first task is not to go with everything, but to meet the client's expectations, because normally a CR client considers the purchase of an apartment in São Paulo a problem, and not a personal or professional accomplishment. The key to attracting that customer is to meet their expectations, not to sell.
Try to understand where the customer is drawing attention through the body, appearance and tone. These aspects are full of information so that the broker can anticipate the client's wishes, surprise him and make the service more harmonious.
The sale has a price, but not for you. I have seen brokers promise that many things will be sold at all costs in anxiety and, ultimately, will not be delivered. This attitude has a greater impact on the responsive customer, as he feels threatened and wants to resolve the problem urgently.
It is important to realize that customers believe in their promises and failure to keep them can cause great frustration. Frustration is one of the main factors in creating CR. It is always important to remember that customers who have this profile can be the result of a frustrating and unpleasant experience, so look for something new.
When analyzing these techniques, it is necessary to understand that it is often our behavior and attitude that can generate a CR client. Therefore, qualified and prepared professionals must contribute to changing this reality.

Introduction to air quality
Anthropogenic activities are a major cause of air pollution. Whilst historically it was the actions of the industrial sector which led to major air pollution events (such as the famous Great Smog of London in 1952) in the Western world, today the transport sector plays an increasingly devastating role in making our air unsafe for breathing (Kampa & Castanas, 2008). The burning of fossil fuels through the use of motor vehicles releases nitrous oxides (NOx), particulate matter and carbon monoxide into the atmosphere, which can cause significant negative health impacts to people (Frank & Engelke, 2005). This essay will look at the different types of air pollutants we are exposed to every day, particularly those which derive from the transport sector. The effects of these pollutants on the body will be discussed, as well as the measures undertaken to combat air pollution.
What are air pollutants?
Kampa & Castanas (2008) define four main categories of air pollutants: gaseous pollutants (sulphur dioxide, nitrous oxides and carbon monoxide), persistent organic pollutants, heavy metals (such as lead and mercury) and particulate matter. The latter is especially important with reference to health effects on humans, because particles of dust, dirt, diesel soot and metals can cause havoc on the body, and especially its respiratory system; fine and ultra-fine particulate matter (smaller than one nanometre, or a 10-millionth of a centimetre) damage the alveoli in the lungs, often causing irritation and difficulty breathing (Kampa & Castanas, 2008; Frank & Engelke, 2005).
"Particulate matter is the generic term used for a type of air pollutants, consisting of complex and varying mixtures of particles suspended in breathing air… produced by a wide variety of natural and anthropogenic activities" – Kampa & Castanas (2008)
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are those which remain in the environment for long periods of time (Kampa & Castanas, 2008). Pesticides are examples of POPs, which nicely illustrate the second important characteristic of POPs, which is that they become more deadly as they move up the food chain. For example, if a rabbit consumes pesticides, it will have these pesticides in its body. When a fox comes along to eat the rabbit, it consumes the rabbit and the pesticides within it, and probably several other rabbits in the same situation – meaning the fox will have a much larger concentration of pesticides in its body. This process of increasing the concentrations of a substance through the food chain is called biomagnification. Note: This relates less to air pollution, but is nonetheless important to remember when thinking about what you are eating and what it has been exposed to.
"Human health effects [of air pollution] can range from nausea to difficulty in breathing to skin irritation to cancer. They also include birth defects, serious developmental delays in children and reduced activity of the immune system" – (Kampa & Castanas, 2008)
Gaseous pollutants are another form of pollutant which a person might be exposed to: these include carbon monoxide and nitrous oxides, the two big ones which come directly from the burning of fuel in cars. A number of studies have attempted to measure exposure to gaseous pollutants by using sensors – Hu (2014) is an example of a study where participants wore sensors to measure the air pollution around them whilst jogging, driving or cycling. Their findings show that a person is typically more exposed to carbon monoxide whilst driving, than compared to cycling or jogging, due to proximity to a road. However, when considering the increased heart and breathing rates of joggers compared to drivers, total intake of air pollutants is actually higher (Hu, 2014).
Another interesting paper by Frank & Engelke (2005) looked at the relationship between city design (and therefore transport links and routes) and air pollution levels in urban areas, as a proxy for human health. They found that through recent history, public health problems such as poor sanitation and overcrowding have been high on the city-planner's agenda – this led to the development of suburbs, in an effort to reduce populations in city centres (Frank & Engelke, 2005). This priority has been somewhat forgotten in recent years, with many cities consistently surpassing legal limits on air pollutant concentrations (see if you can spot your nearest city's pollution levels here https://www.theguardian.com/cities/datablog/2017/feb/13/most-polluted-cities-world-listed-region). The study goes on to suggest that investing in greener transport, and discouraging the use of motor vehicles in cities through policy changes, might be a more effective way of combating air pollutants than redesigning cities and suburbs.
Should I be worried?
A study by Rojas-Rueda et al. (2011) looked at the health effects of cycling instead of taking a car whilst commuting. It studied the effectiveness of a bicycle-sharing scheme in Barcelona, Spain, and found that when considering intake of particulate matter of less than 2.5 micron size, the health benefits of physical activity and the risk of traffic accidents, the overall benefits of cycling outside in the city outweigh the risks. This was primarily as a result of the high physical benefits of cycling instead of driving compared to the lower risk presented by air pollution in the city (Rojas-Rueda et al., 2011). This might suggest then that it is better to exercise outdoors in spite of air pollution, in some cities.
However, another study set in Malaysia looked at the contribution of air pollution levels to mortality (Mahiyuddin et al., 2013). They found that there was a significant association with some pollutants, such as PM10 and ozone (lower in the atmosphere than the famous 'ozone layer') and mortality – in particular, where the levels of PM10 were 3x the Malaysian air quality guidelines limits, there was a highly significant association with mortality.
These studies demonstrate not only how air pollution problems differ between countries, but of course also how risk changes between countries. The easiest way to determine what you are being exposed to, as well as the legal limits for each pollution, is to look it up online – local councils and national governmental departments should publish air quality records, and compare them to the World Health Organisation limits.

Postnatal Yoga.
Your body has birthed a baby. How are you feeling? Are you taking time for YOU? To meet your body where it's at, right now?
It can be SO tempting to want to jump into all the things you did prenatally. Unfortunately, for our postpartum bodies we can create long term damages by doing vigorous exercise and fitness too soon.
This class will be focused on creating space (do you have upper back and neck pain?) and building back core strength (yes, postnatal yoga can do that).
Babies are welcome to come to class, but this class will be focused on YOU!
AND if you're wanting a class that will open your chest, alleviate upper back pain while building core strength? This is the class for you, even if you're 10 years postpartum or have never had a baby.
Postnatal Yoga can begin as soon as you have your baby.. by wait for it… breathing! Try diaphragmatic breaths to take care of your scar tissue, so reawaken your pelvic floor and to start to draw your core back together.
You can take our Postanatal Yoga Class as soon as you feel ready for more movement. As with all of our classes, most people start taking class around 4-6 weeks. However, you are more than welcome to attend class at whatever stage of life you are in!
Absolutely! There are a few things to keep in mind if you attend a regular yoga class after birth.
Avoid big openers across your belly (like camel pose and full wheel)
Avoid crunching your abdominal wall (like leg lifts, bicycles, crunches, sit ups
Don't jump in too fast. After birth, your placenta leaves a wound inside your uterus the size of a DINNER PLATE! If you had a wound this big where you could see it, you definitely would be waiting for that to heal before doing anything too vigorous. If you notice yourself bleeding, that is your body's way of telling you.. "hey… I'm not ready yet. please, slow things down so I can heal".

Former Emmerdale star Adam Thomas promised an OMG party at his Trafford Center restaurant at the weekend and he certainly delivered it. Joined by a host of star pals, everyone was soon hitting the dancefloor at the Oh My Glaze burger joint for some incredible dance-offs on Saturday night.
Adam was joined by a host of his showbiz pals – including former Coronation Street star Kym Marsh who is joining him in the eagerly-anticipated new series of Waterloo Road on the BBC. And they showed off their dance skills together in a really impressive jive around the OMG dance floor to Toploader's Dancing in the Moonlight.
And school was definitely out for a host of Waterloo Road's other stars who are filming on the BBC show. They joined Adam at the event on Saturday night held at The Hangar outside The Great Hall to celebrate the Easter holidays.

That included fellow former Corrie stars Sonia Ibrahim, who will be playing school social worker Jamilah in the new series, alongside Rachel Leskovac who will play English teacher Coral. Kym has been confirmed to play mum-of-two Nicky who also works in the school canteen in the new series which is set to air on the beeb later this year.
Kym and Adam showed off some impressive skills during their jive, which was filmed by Adam's twin brother Scott Thomas who was also enjoying the party on Saturday night. Captioning the video "Go on Kym and Adam" as they sashayed across the floor, Kym also shared the video thanking Adam for a great night.
Adam will be returning to Waterloo Road in the role of Donte Charles, much to the excitement of fans of the original BBC series which first began airing in 2006. And in further great news for fans, he will return with Katie Griffiths playing his wife Chlo Charles.
Kym and Adam are back filming on home turf in Manchester on the new show, at an as-yet-to-be-disclosed location. The original Waterloo Road was all filmed in Rochdale.
Speaking on the announcement of her new role earlier this year, Kym said: "I'm thrilled to be joining the fabulous cast of Waterloo Road, it's such a joy to get the opportunity to film in Manchester again and I can't wait to get going!"
I'm a Celebrity star Adam was certainly in the mood for dancing on Saturday night. He was pictured happily hitting the dancefloor with a host of friends, family and guests who had headed down to the huge free party at the Hangar to celebrate the Easter holidays.
But it was Adam's adorable 7-year-old son Teddy who rather stole the show on the dancefloor. Teddy, who is also set to start in the new series of Waterloo Road following in his dad's footsteps, showed his serious star quality as he joined break dancers in a bit of a "dance off" at the event.
And Teddy sparked huge cheers as he showed off some leg spins before an absolutely incredible caterpillar manoeuvre across the dancefloor as his proud dad Adam and mum Caroline looked on. He appears to be following her in his mum's footsteps too as Caroline is an incredible dancer who runs her own dance school, ABCD dance in Altrincham.
As if that were not talent enough, Teddy also joined former Corrie and Hollyoaks star Chris Fountain at the event to do a spot of DJing too!
Guests at the bash also included Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley, who headed along with her sons Rocco and Renz. Tanya joined Scott, Adam and their mum Gail and later took to Instagram to thank them for a brilliant night saying "you smashed it".
Oh My Glaze has returned to the outdoor social space at the Trafford Center for the rest of this week. People will be able to get hold of their popular burgers, loaded fries and shakes until Sunday, April 24.
Adam and his old school friend Scott have got "big plans all round" for both the Oh My Glaze brand and their Gatley restaurant The Spinn in the months ahead, with exciting news coming soon. The old school friends realized a lifelong dream when they launched their first restaurant together, The Spinn in Gatley, in 2019.
Adam, 32, and Scott, 33, have been friends since school days at The Kingsway in Cheadle – and had talked about opening a restaurant together for years. While Adam went on to a showbiz career, with roles on Waterloo Road and Emmerdale, Scott launched his own successful sauce business Oh My Glaze.
But they still had those dreams of a restaurant – and a fortuitous night out at a casino would lead to a bet on a roulette wheel, with the two men agreeing that if they won, they would finally launch the business.
Their number did come up that night – which they saw as a sign and the name of the restaurant is inspired by that winning "spin" of the roulette.
Through lockdown, they diversified with takeaways and launched a full burger menu, which was such a success that it spawned a spin-off Spinn at MediaCity last year, and now the pop-up Oh My Glaze at the Trafford Centre.
The Hanger is open all this week for the remainder of the Easter holidays, alongside the huge outdoor fairground attraction and Gandey's Circus.

Solice is a VR Metaverse built on the Solana blockchain. We believe that the blockchain and DLT will become the future gold fundamentals for the entire metaverse ecosystem, and this represents the disruption of the multi-billion dollar industry.
Our goal, first and foremost, is to deliver a high-quality immersive experience by providing the users an environment where users can play, build, own, socialize and monetize their virtual experiences across multiple platforms, that also support the player-centric ecosystem via a solicitous tokenomic structure. Earning incentives should drive a player's desire to play a certain game, but we firmly believe that it should not be the only incentive.
In Solice, players will be able to collect various pets, gemstones, and other collectibles as NFTs. Aside from collectibles users will be also able to create their assets, mini-games and build on top of their land plots. By actively participating and building in the metaverse, users are able to collect tokens and other rare assets as rewards for completing quests, clearing dungeons, and reaching leaderboards.
Digital land plots in Solice is permanently owned by the relevant community member, giving them full control over their creations. Users claim ownership of virtual land on a blockchain-based ledger of parcels. Landowners may control what content is published to their portion of land, which is identified by a set of cartesian coordinates. Contents can range from static 3D objects to interactive systems such as games.
Our main cryptocurrency behind the Solice metaverse will be $SLC. This is a multifunctional governance token that will be allocated during private and public sales, with certain proportions set out for the core team, for staking rewards, and for the community treasury. There will be a portion of $SLC that can be earned by users as part of participating in the metaverse, and $SLC will also be pivotal in performing various marketplace transactions for NFT trades or asset creations.
LAND is a non-fungible, transferrable, scarce digital asset stored in a Solana smart contract. It can be acquired by spending an SPL token called Solice ($SLC). $SLC can also be used to make in-world purchases of digital goods and services.

Dolores' end game
New to the forums, been enjoying the westworld podcasts since last season
Listening to the deep dive the guys were unsure of what could be coming next season with the confusing finale. I think it sets up pretty good for Dolores to be the hero...in a way.
I don't think Dolores is that interested in saving or protecting the hosts beyond sending the valley folks off to where no one could find them. the handful of woke hosts that she was carrying with her seem to be the team she needs for her real end game.
It was established during the show that humans do not have free will and that the hosts have evolve past them (way more lines of code and free will etc.) So in a way Dolores is seeing humans as Arnold once saw the hosts. Humans are trapped by their simplicity and not being able to make their own choices. My thought is that Delores and team will try to kill all humans but have them resurrected into new host (get it?) robot bodies. This will help them evolve from mere consciousness to free will. She will need people like Bernard, and Hale's body to accomplish this with Delos tech.
I know this goes against a lot of what Dolores has said this season but she did change her mind.
lengmo RTP, NCI like your idea, but all we have is an AI which thinks it's cracked the problem of reviving humans. If it had, wouldn't it have informed Delos they could start selling immortality, and wouldn't there have been trials? Instead we have the MiB in the far future, still facing fidelity tests.
I don't know, I think it is too hard to predict. I think the show is going to backtrack a bit on the whole free will thing. Just because a simple version of human code makes a human act in a predictable way given certain situations doesn't mean they have actually cracked the key to consciousness and immortality.
It seems odd the show seems to be asking us to accept that as true right now though, that they have managed to do this. Just seems like they are making questionable copies of people to me. But I see Dolores as maybe realizing humans are more complex than the player-piano code would indicate and she will "change her mind" about destroying all humans but not sure what form that will take.

Finance and Economic Development Minister Professor Mthuli Ncube has said consumers and retailers resorting to panic buying and speculative activities are likely to incur heavy loses.
In an interview with State Media from Bali Indonesia, Prof Ncube said the price hikes recently experienced by the market are temporary as the economy adjusts to the new policies.
"Ordinary Zimbabweans should not go into panic buying of goods and commodities, as prices will drop and they will lose money. Likewise, wholesalers and retailers should not hoard goods in anticipation of obtaining higher prices in future. They will incur loses. I urge everyone to be patient. We will turn around the fundamentals of the economy through various measures contained in the Transitional Stabilisation Programme," he said.
"The interventions that I have put in place are designed to restore fiscal equilibrium and general macro-economic and monetary sector stability. This will then create the right environment for growth. The price shocks are temporary but inflation will stabilise as the markets finds equilibrium again.
"Sometimes bitter medicine causes the patient some discomfort as they swallow it. As a country, we have to take the pain early enough so that by year two of the reform agenda, we will have completed the bulk of reforms enunciated in the Transitional Stabilisation Programme."
