Your Pregnancy Matters
How early can home pregnancy tests show positive results?
When is the best time to take a pregnancy test?
What can cause pregnancy tests to be wrong?
When should I see a doctor for a clinical pregnancy test?
Topics
Content: Urine from a woman who thought she might be pregnant was injected into a rabbit, which would then be surgically opened so its ovaries could be inspected. If the woman was pregnant, the rabbit’s ovaries would undergo noticeable changes due to the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) that develops early in gestation. The rabbit unfortunately didn’t survive. Thankfully, pregnancy tests have evolved substantially since the 20th century. Women now have access to advanced tests that can detect a pregnancy days before a missed period. In fact, a CBS News article outlined the best home pregnancy tests according to research from Consumer Reports, based on ease of use, ease of reading results, and effectiveness. Many tests today are marketed as simple and effective, but getting accurate results comes down to when the test is taken. When is the best time to take a pregnancy test? Ovulation generally occurs around day 15 of a 28-day cycle. In a normal pregnancy, an egg is fertilized in the fallopian tube and then travels into the uterus, where it implants itself in the uterine wall.

Headings: Promoting Effective Classroom Participation
Promoting Effective Classroom Participation
What does “participation” mean?
How do I encourage participation?
How do I assess participation?
Further resources
Content: Ensure that everyone's contributions are audible. In a large classroom, or even a small one with poor acoustics, it might be difficult for a student making a verbal contribution to be heard by a classmate on the other side of the room. This can detract significantly from the class dynamics, as students will become frustrated or cease to pay attention if they can't hear what is being shared. Frequently, students will need to be encouraged to speak loudly and clearly. Try reminding them that they should be addressing their comments not to you, who might happen to be standing close by, but to the classmate who is sitting farthest away. When a quiet student starts to speak, it's often helpful to resist your natural inclination to move closer, and instead to move to the other side of the room, so that the student is encouraged to speak more loudly. In some cases, you may need to reiterate a student's contribution, to ensure that everyone hears it. Consider the use of an online poll before the class discussion. Students may be more willing to participate in debates and discussions if they can see that other students share their views. The results from a pre-class anonymous poll can be presented to students as a starting point or to set the stage for their in-class discussion.

Title: Why is Tik Tok sweeping over the world? — an app critique | by Shuhan Yu | UX Collective
Headings: Why is Tik Tok sweeping over the world? — an app critique
Why is Tik Tok sweeping over the world? — an app critique
Many talked about how different TikTok is compared to other apps such as Instagram and Twitter, here we’ll discuss what has made Tik Tok special from the beginning.
The history of Tik Tok
The technological strength of Tik Tok
In a nutshell, Tik Tok has a good UX/UI design to not only attract new users, but also keep existing users.
The marketing approaches of TikTok
Karma’s a bitch is one of the challenges that become viral.
Why though?
The downside of Tik Tok
Conclusion
Content: Users from Douyin, the Chinese version of Tik Tok used in China, spend about 30 minutes daily with opening the app four or five times per day. This data is only slightly behind the Facebook (58 minutes per day with the American Android app in June 2018) and Instagram (53 minutes per day in June 2018). This represents the high user engagement of Tik Tok, and also the addiction to it. Fortunately, Tik Tok provided “Digital Wellbeing” feature inside of Privacy and Settings, similar as the feature of “Manage Your Time” in Facebook and Instagram. This may reveal effort that UX team has put in Tik Tok, fighting against the revenue goal. However, including time management feature in settings may not outshine the allure of the uninterrupted repeating 15 seconds videos and the mysterious intermittent variable rewards. That shows the dark pattern of forced continuity. For first time users, it’s easy to stay in the loop of watching more and more videos instead of finding out the way to “manage your time” in the app. In addition, the feature of syncing user contacts to Tik Tok might meet another type of dark pattern— Friend Spam. According to the paper of The Dark (Patterns) Side of UX Design friend, spam occurs when the product asks for your email or social media permissions under the pretense it will be used for a desirable outcome (e.g. finding friends), but then spams all your contacts in a message that claims to be from you.

Content: 3 reasons why people don’t get their 5 a day
So why aren’t we getting enough fruits and vegetables in our diets? We’ve pinpointed the 3 main reasons – do any of them sound familiar? 1. Too expensive
Many people worry that eating 5 different portions of fruit and vegetables a day is expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. There are plenty of ways to cut the cost and eat healthy on a budget. For example, bananas cost less than 25p in a supermarket, which is far less than the average chocolate bar. Fresh fruit and vegetables are also cheaper when they are in season, and they taste better too. 2. No time
If you’re always busy, it can be tricky finding time to cook healthy meals and shop regularly for fresh fruit and veg. Quick and easy ways to get more of your 5 a day include drinking vegetable juice such as V8, which provides 1 portion of your 5 a day.

They can last from 4 hours to 3 days and usually happen one to four times a month. Along with the pain, people have other symptoms, such as sensitivity to light, noise, or smells; nausea or vomiting; loss of appetite; and upset stomach or belly pain. Post Traumatic Headaches, for example, are quite common among veterans, specifically if you suffered from any type of head injury or trauma during military service. Furthermore, post traumatic headaches, particularly migraine headaches, are commonly found in veterans who deployed in support of combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. According to medical research, if you get a new headache within 7-10 days of your head injury or after you are conscious again from the trauma, you may have a condition known as a post-traumatic headache.

Chapter 2: The Term “Prostrating” Will Make or Break Your VA Claim for Migraines
What is a “Prostrating” Migraine Headache? Perhaps the single most important term that can litterally make or break your VA rating for migraines is the word “Prostrating.” The reason it’s so important is because the 30% and 50% VA ratings for Migraines contain the word “Prostrating” in reference to both frequency and severity of your condition. What’s interesting is that neither VA regulations nor the Courts have attempted to define the term “Prostrating.” By way of reference, according to MERRIAM WEBSTER’S COLLEGIATE DICTIONARY 999 (11th Ed. 2007), “Prostration” is defined as “Complete physical or mental exhaustion.”

Title: Serial Killers - Mr. Frausel's Law Class
Headings: Serial Killers
Serial Killers
By: Jake Luceri
What is the basic profile of serial killers?
Content: Although, as he was being transferred to prison, he was able to escape and was captured eight days later. In December of 1977 he escaped again through a hole in the ceiling of his cell and he was not discovered to be gone until fifteen hours later, so that gave him a giant head start. He made his way to Tallahassee, Florida and attacked four of the members of the Chi Omega Sorority. His final attack was on a twelve-year old girl, and this marked the end of his murderous rampage. In July of 1979 he was convicted of the Chi Omega killings because of the bite marks, which were a definitive match to Bundy. He received a double death penalty so there was practically no way that he could get out of dying, even though he tried to appeal his punishment. On July 24, 1989 he was put to death and after he was pronounced dead, crowds cheered and set off fireworks. Before he died he admitted to 36 killings, but many experts would approximate that the final tally is closer to 100. Serial killers have been around since there have been people. They date as far back as 1888, and probably even further, and go all the way to the late 20th century.

Title: Benefits of the US-China Trade War — Valdai Club
Headings:
Content: The “benefits” of this trade war, in particular, lie in rendering the Chinese better aware of their country’s development status quo and its role on the world stage. On the one hand, please don’t have any illusions that China will recoil in this trade war. “ Fighting to the end” is probably most Chinese unswerving attitude. Objectively speaking, China’s total economic volume is 82 trillion RMB and the foreign trade just accounts for about one-tenth. For the 8 trillion foreign trade, Sino-US trade only accounts for about one-third. The impact of this war for China’s overall national economic growth rate is about 0.2% to 0.5%. The Chinese are able to manage this zheteng, which means “much ado about nothing”. On the other hand, the Chinese are better aware that first, China’s economy is still “developing”, leaving a big gap with the international cutting-edge technology. For the core industry, there is still much to do as well. In addition, there are many tasks, including poverty alleviation, to accomplish.

To tell the truth, China cannot have the slightest sense of complacency. Second, only when China remains steadfast and more determined to push forward with the reform and opening up policy, can Chinese economy stand a greater test. For example, China’s macro-taxation burden has reached a level which needs to be changed. The expansion and opening-up of the domestic market is urgently required. The reform and internationalization of China’s financial system has already become the world’s big concern.

A: In quantum mechanics we learn that the behavior of the very smallest objects (like electrons, for example) is very unlike the behavior of everyday things like baseballs. When we throw a baseball at a wall, we can predict where it will be during its flight, where it will hit the wall, how it will bounce, and what it will do afterward. When we fire an electron at a plate with two closely spaced slits in it, and detect the electron on a screen behind these slits, the behavior of the electron is the same as that of a wave in that it can actually go though both holes at once. This may seem odd, but its true. If we repeat this experiment lots of times with lots of electrons, we see that some positions on the screen will have been hit by many electrons and some will have been hit by none.

This may seem odd, but its true. If we repeat this experiment lots of times with lots of electrons, we see that some positions on the screen will have been hit by many electrons and some will have been hit by none. The observed "interference pattern" for these electrons is evidence of their dual wave-particle nature, and is well described by thinking of each electron as a superposition of two "states", one that goes through one slit, one that goes through the other. To add to this already mysterious behavior, this interference will only happen if both possible paths that the electron can take are not distinguishable. In other words, if we could somehow tell which slit the electron went through each time, we would no longer get the interference. The act of making a measurement of the electrons path fundamentally changes the outcome of the experiment. Mats

A: It would be extremely surprising if anything as simple as an electron could have any sort of consciousness. However, when someone tries to watch an electron, they usually do something to the electron to make its behavior more evident. That something (e.g. shining a light on it) changes the electron's behavior. Mike W.

Follow-Up #4: free-will? Q: As a follow up to the previous answer, I'd like to share something I found interesting. If one defines free will as something like "non-deterministic", one can prove from three simple axioms that if you wish to claim we (experimenters) have "free will", then we must conclude electrons have "free will" as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_will_theorem It is an interesting way to demonstrate the "measurement problem" in quantum mechanics, for in the traditional Copenhagen approach the evolution of a system is completely deterministic except for a measurement. If it turns out all of physics can be explained with the appropriate choice of lagrangian, can we really have the freewill to choose a random measurement?

A: Thanks for the interesting link. Just to expand on a point mentioned in passing in that article, there is a strong distinction between the indeterminacy described by the theorem and the traditional concept of free will. Readers should be forewarned that what follows somewhat spills over the edge of physics into philosophy. There are serious reasons (including the violation of the Bell Inequalities) to conclude that the sort of events described by quantum mechanics are "free" in the sense that no prior fact about the universe can tell us which outcome we will observe.

There are serious reasons (including the violation of the Bell Inequalities) to conclude that the sort of events described by quantum mechanics are "free" in the sense that no prior fact about the universe can tell us which outcome we will observe. That doesn't mean that the necessary determining facts are hard to find; it means they didn't exist. On the other hand, when we think of "free will" we have the sense that there was some prior "will" which determined what we chose to do. However, the existence of any such will would violate the theorems as much as any other determining variable. Thus since the peculiar randomness of quantum events undermines the deterministic picture of the world it could be said to indicate a sort of "freedom", but not anything resembling traditional "free will."

Follow-Up #5: confusion between the uncertainty principle and the observer effect
Q: There's a lot of confusion between the uncertainty principle and the observer effect, leading to the new age, nonsensical claim that we can willfully create the world around us by altering our thoughts. So, to be clear (because there's a lot of conflicting info out there), when we talk about "observing" an electron and thereby changing its state, we're talking about using equipment to measure it, not simply observing with the naked eye, right? - Ian (age 29)

A: Right, we have no indication at all that interaction with conscious beings (e.g. us) does something different than interaction with any other large object in which some record is left of the results. Of course, the only events we are aware of are those of which we are aware, but we can leave that worry for the philosophers. At any rate, the structure of quantum mechanics, in particular its violation of the Bell Inequalities, would run into big trouble if the random outcomes of quantum events were influenced by any local variable, including human will. So you're right on all your key points. Nevertheless, there is a relation between the "observer effect" and the uncertainty principle.

Follow-Up #10: what collapses wavefunction?
Follow-Up #11: What causes quantum interference loss
Content: Right, we have no indication at all that interaction with conscious beings (e.g. us) does something different than interaction with any other large object in which some record is left of the results. Of course, the only events we are aware of are those of which we are aware, but we can leave that worry for the philosophers. At any rate, the structure of quantum mechanics, in particular its violation of the Bell Inequalities, would run into big trouble if the random outcomes of quantum events were influenced by any local variable, including human will. So you're right on all your key points. Nevertheless, there is a relation between the "observer effect" and the uncertainty principle. Mathematics requires that any wave, including purely classical ones, have a "spread" relation: ΔkΔx >= 1/2. That says that the spread (Δ) in the wavevector (k, sort of the inverse of the wavelength) times the spread in position (x) is greater than or equal to 1/2. The classical wave simply must have spreads in both these attributes, just as you can easily picture for water waves. We don't call this "uncertainty" or make a philosophical fuss about it because, as you can see by eye, the spreads in position and wavevector are real, persistent things.

3 African American Leaders in Mental Health

The Importance of Mental Health in Black America
Improving Mental Health and Striving for a United America
Content: Culturally, being mentally ill is often seen as negative among minorities, especially blacks. Being “crazy” is seen not so much as a medical condition with a wide range of causal factors (including biological and genetic ones), and more as a character flaw or personality trait. This means people who could get treatment fail to do so – and people with a predisposition towards one or another mental illness are more likely to become mentally ill, without the proper support to prevent mental diagnoses like depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia. One mental illness often carries the risk of producing another – addiction can be a coping mechanism for mental illness, or it can lead to symptoms of depression and other illnesses, for example. By ignoring the issue and letting it foment in an environment of prejudice, it continues to grow. We must do more to help our black communities learn about the truths of mental illness, and widen the availability of treatment options beyond the spectrum of rich and poor. Improving Mental Health and Striving for a United America
Regardless of race and gender, psychiatrists and mental health experts throughout the United States continue to make strides in the industry of psychology and mental health. Yet while our understanding of the human brain and the human mind – two separate disciplines and objects of study, mind you – continues to widen and grow, the fact remains that to the public at large many mental health issues that could be resolved fail to see the treatment they deserve. Mental health in America is a huge issue – but has to be examined within proper context when compared globally. While we spend a comparable amount on mental health treatment versus other developed nations, we continue to be plagued by alarming statistics of depression and anxiety.

While we spend a comparable amount on mental health treatment versus other developed nations, we continue to be plagued by alarming statistics of depression and anxiety. Partially, the growing statistics have to do with the increased diagnosis of these conditions – we’ve come to better understand what accounts for mental illness, and it’s becoming more obvious that, somehow, we live in a society that is often conducive to bringing about symptoms of mental illness in people with tendencies towards them. It’s not so much that feigning mental illness is “trendy”, or that ra

Stages of Grief
Change Your Thinking
Seek Support
Act Positive
Content: This happens because your world has just been turned upside down without your permission. The death of someone you love is out of your control and that may be one of the hardest aspects to accept. When you lose someone, you just want the world to stop spinning around you. You want to be alone but no one will leave you alone. You want to run away but have nowhere to go. You just want one more day with the one you lost. Grief like this can cause problems for you if you get stuck in the grieving process. There is even a name for it. It’s called complicated bereavement disorder. Complicated Bereavement Disorder
The typical grief cycle, according to the experts, averages about six months.

It shows them you don’t care enough about yourself to do even the basics of cleaning your own body. Good hygiene is just one way you can nurture yourself. There are many other ways to nurture yourself like journaling, getting a massage, reading self-improvement materials, attending counseling, and taking a yoga class at least once a week. As you can imagine, there are hundreds of great ideas on how to care for yourself.

Content: You have to figure out which activities make you feel the best about yourself. Don’t take a yoga class if you are stiff as a board. Or at least don’t take the advanced class. Don’t go on a hike if you have a broken foot. Pick activities that you actually enjoy, that you choose (not your friends or family), that make you feel good. Self-Worth
Another good reason to be selfish is to gain self-worth. You are not putting a price value on yourself but a life value. Your life is priceless and you need to feel that. Self-Worth tells you how you feel about you, not about what things you have done. It has to do with the value you place on yourself and whether or not you feel you deserve good things.

Just reach out for help so that you can change your thoughts and develop a plan of action for improving your mental health and your college experience. You are not alone, many of your college peers are having similar thoughts about suicide because you aren’t quite sure of how to handle the myriad of emotions overwhelming you due to the stressors of college life. There are many avenues of help on a college campus, however, that can help you overcome these thoughts. There are many resources on a college campus to help you deal with depression, anxiety, impulsiveness, eating disorders and suicidal thoughts. There are counseling centers on every college campus that offer individual and group treatments.

Harry Styles Is First Solo Male to Cover Vogue: See the Photos
Content: The Conde Nast magazine has been in existence for 127 years and has only featured men on the cover 10 times. In the magazine’s December cover story, Styles, who’s pictured wearing a jacket and dress by Gucci, shared his thoughts on personal growth, whether it be in musical style, fashion or cultural awareness. “I think with music it’s so important to evolve — and that extends to clothes and videos and all that stuff,” he said. “ That’s why you look back at David Bowie with Ziggy Stardust or the Beatles and their different eras — that fearlessness is super inspiring.” Tyler Mitchell/Vogue
Styles’ album “Fine Line,” released in Dec. 2019, has yielded two hit singles, “Adore You” and “Watermelon Sugar,” with a third, “Golden,” well on its way. Experimentation and evolution play key roles in the singer’s music career, as exhibited by his fashion choices. Known for his gender-bending approach to style, Styles view is that gender-based apparel only limits the possibilities for expression. As the singer and songwriter told Vogue: “ Clothes are there to have fun with and experiment with and play with. What’s really exciting is that all of these lines are just kind of crumbling away.

What happens after a new Pope is chosen?
Content: For a Pope to be elected they must get two-thirds of the vote, and each cardinal’s vote has equal value. The Sistine Chapel
The setting for Conclave is the Sistine Chapel, which was built between the years 1480 to 1482 under Pope Sixtus IV as the Pope’s private chapel as well as to serve as the new location for voting to elect a new Pope. Today the Sistine Chapel is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the world. People flock to the Vatican Museums to see Michelangelo’s frescos on the ceiling telling the story of the Old Testament. Michelangelo Buonarroti also painted the wall behind the alter called the Last Judgment. Voting
Why does the voting for a new Pope usually take so long? There are a number of reasons for this but it is mainly because the Cardinal that will become Pope must get two-thirds of the votes. If this is not achieved the process must take place again. Voting takes place twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon. All votes are then burned.

they
are
inherently
different
because

has
a
unique
location. Real
estate
The
legal
concept
of
real
estate
encompasses:
land
all
man-made
structures
that
are
"permanently"
attached
to
the
land
Real
estate
therefore
includes,
in
addition
to
land,
such
things
as
fences,
streets,
buildings,
wells,
sewers,
sidewalks
and
piers. Such
man-made
structures
attached
to
the
land
are
called
improvements. The
phrase
"permanently
attached"
refers
primarily
to
one's
intention
in
attaching
the
item. Obviously,
very
few
if
any
manmade
structures
can
be
permanently
attached
to
the
land
in
the
literal
sense. But
if
a
person
constructs
a
house
with
the
intention
of
creating
a
permanent
dwelling,
the
house
is
considered
real
estate. By
contrast,
if
a
camper
affixes
a
tent
to
the
land
with
the
intention
of
moving
it
to
another
camp
in
a
week,
the
tent
would
not
be
considered
real
estate. Property
Exhibit
2.1
The
Legal
Concept
of

In

understanding,

of

What is sulfadimethoxine? Sulfadimethoxine (brand name: Albon®) is a sulfonamide antimicrobial usually used to treat coccidiosis but can also be used to treat other types of infections in dogs and cats. Its use in small mammals and reptiles to treat coccidia or other infections is 'off label' or ' extra label'. Many drugs are commonly prescribed for off label use in veterinary medicine. In these instances, follow your veterinarian’s directions and cautions very carefully as their directions may be significantly different from those on the label.

The “57” in “57 Varieties of Heinz” Has No Real Meaning
Content: In 1987, they decided to drop the “steak” and it has remained Heinz 57 Sauce since then. Heinz’ ketchup was introduce the same year his new company was established, 1876. At the time, fresh, ripe tomatoes were thought by many to be bad for your health and even poisonous (much like what happened when potatoes were first introduced in Europe: see The History of French Fries ). Ketchup, however, did not suffer as much from this stigma due to being processed with spices and vinegar. However, because ripe tomatoes were still considered bad for you, often ketchups of the day were extremely watery from lack of pectin, due to the makers using unripe tomatoes. Just 30 years after its launch, Heinz was selling over 12 million bottles of ketchup per year. Today, Heinz sells over 650 million bottles of ketchup annually, along with 11 billion small packets of their ketchup. These ketchup sales earn them a gross of $1.5 billion per year. There is a more sinister theory proposed by some Illuminati enthusiasts as to the origin of the “57 Varieties of Heinz”. *

Title: Why Is Ketchup Red and Mustard Yellow?
Headings: Why Is Ketchup Red and Mustard Yellow?
Why Is Ketchup Red and Mustard Yellow?
Content: Here’s why: Ketchup
This most “American” of condiments originated in Asia, where it dates back to the 6 th century AD. In the beginning, ketchup (spelled ke-tchup) was a fish sauce – not a sauce for fish, but made of fish . . . well their stomachs, intestines and bladders. Combined with salt and left in a sealed jar to “ incubate in the sun ,” the original ke-tchup was a far cry from the mass-produced condiment we enjoy today. Europeans were first introduced to the sauce by Chinese sailors in Fuji in the 16 th century, although at the time, the condiment had neither tomatoes nor sugar and was frequently just fermented salted anchovies. It wasn’t until an American physician in 1834 “ declared tomatoes to be a universal panacea that could be used to treat diarrhea . . . and indigestion ,” and added them to ketchup, that the practice caught on. Spreading quickly, by 1876, tomato ketchup was “considered to be a sort of tonic.” Today (well, 2007), over 300 million pounds of ketchup are sold each year.

Content: Ketchup or Catsup? Ketchup or Catsup? February 26, 2015 Melissa 3 comments
Byron H. asks: Why is it sometimes catsup and other times ketchup? The two distinct spellings for what today is essentially the same condiment are simply the reflection of the evolution of nearly everyone’s favorite French fry topper. ( Well, in certain regions of the world.) Today often disdained as low-brow, when it was first conceived, ketchup was revered for the flavor it added to foods. Initially a paste made from fermented fish guts, it was first recorded in 544 BC in Important Arts for the People’s Welfare; according to the legend, while in the course of pursuing his enemies, emperor Wu-ti came across a pit filled with fish entrails and covered with dirt from which “ a potent, delicious aroma ,” could not help but emanate. For some reason, they actually ate it, learned to love it and at first named it Chu I. ( Worcestershire Sauce also has a similar slightly stomach turning origin, only in this case is still made pretty much the same way it was in the beginning .)

Eventually, Chu I evolved to kôe-chiap or kê-chiap. Over time kôechiap migrated and made its way to Indonesia where it became known as kecap. British sailors were trading there by the 1690s, and it is believed they developed a taste for, and began exporting, kecap from the East Indies during this time. Also in the 1690s, Brits began tinkering with the sauce’s name, and catchup, which, according to the OED, was a “ high East-India Sauce ” first appeared, while by 1711 others were using the spelling, ketchup. Nonetheless, it appears that both words were still describing a type of fish sauce . . .

Ketchup or Catsup?
Content: Love-apple Sauce and Mock Tomata Sauce. Both of these were highly spiced with shallot, clove, thyme, bay leaf, mace, salt and pepper, and the latter, which apparently used apple, also incorporated turmeric and vinegar. It appears that catsup was the predominant term in the United States through the about the 1870s when ketchup began to appear. Some authorities claim that the distinction between the two marked the differences in quality, as ketchup, the term used in Britain, was usually seen on expensive, imported sauces; this claim is supported by the fact that Heinz sold two types of these condiments in the 1880s, a cheaper, Duquesne Catsup, and a more expensive, Keystone Ketchup.

If you hold a traditional Heinz bottle at about a 30 degree angle and patiently tap the 57 stamped on the neck, eventually the ketchup will flow beautifully. Physicists have another method, although it requires an explanation (of course). Because of its composition of tomato, vinegar, water, syrup and spices, ketchup is a “Non-Newtonian” fluid whose thickness and stickiness can be changed with force. Therefore, essentially all you have to do is “ shake the bottle beyond its breaking point, and ketchup becomes 1,000 times thinner ,” and, therefore, easier to pour. Expand for References

Title: Exercise Recommendations for Older Adults
Headings:
Content: The key to fitness is to do all four of the major types of exercise regularly and increase the level of intensity over time. Endurance exercises: With the previously stated goal of a minimum of 150 minutes of exercise per week, it is recommended that older adults strive to increase from the minimum goal of 10 minutes of aerobic increments to longer stretches as well as increasing over time the weekly number of minutes from 150 to 300. Examples of endurance exercises are walking, jogging, dancing, and playing tennis. Strength training: Strength-training or weight-lifting exercises should be performed two to three days per week with a rest day between sessions. This rest day doesn’t mean to forgo the other types of exercises, just strength training. Strength-training activities should include exercises for all major muscle groups (shoulders, arms, chest, abdomen, back, hips, and legs). If an elder chooses to strength train on a daily basis, he or she must alternate the muscle groups to allow for a rest day. Examples of strength-training exercises include lifting or pushing free weights, pulling resistance bands, and using strength-training equipment at a fitness center or gym.

Balance exercises: Some balance exercises build up leg muscles, while other exercises focus on stability. Balance exercises, therefore, fall into two categories. Strengthening exercises must be performed two or more days per week (but not on any two days in a row), whereas stability exercises can—and in some cases should—be performed daily. Balance exercises include strength exercises for the lower body such as back and side leg raises and toe stands as well as stability exercises such as heel-to-toe walking and the stork pose (standing on one foot with arms held out to the side.)

How to Cut and Install Retaining Wall Topper Stones
Topper stones make a wall look finished but have to be cut to fit a curved wall. How do I add square topper stones to a curved retaining wall? And how do I attach the topper stones so that they don’t get knocked off? -Paul
Those wedge-shaped stackable stones are great for building curved retaining walls, but once complete it leaves you with unsightly gaps. For a finished look, you can add topper stones, but it poses some challenges since: Topper stones are usually square, not wedge-shaped, so if you want a smooth top you’ll need to cut them to fit the curve. If your curve is very gradual, you might be able to get away with spreading out the small gaps so they aren’t noticeable. Topper stones are also a bit wider and lighter than the wall blocks, so it’s easy to kick them out of place or bump them with a lawn mower. I have topper stones on my wall, and I’m always knocking them loose and having to put them back. Instead of my kick-and-replace method, there are better ways of finishing off your retaining wall!

Content: Try these tips. Use a Masonry Saw
Retaining wall blocks can be cut using a masonry chisel and mallet, but for the topper stones you may want to spring for a diamond blade masonry saw. Similar to a wet tile saw, masonry saws make very clean, straight cuts that will give a nice finishing touch to your wall. Masonry saws can be rented at your local rental center – all you’ll need is an extension cord and a garden hose to provide lubricating water. The bottom stones will be cut along the lines, and the top one will be left square. How to Measure the Cut
If you enjoy geometry, you can cut each stone at an angle to curve along your wall. For a faster job that looks just as neat, try this approach: Step 1: At the beginning of your wall, place stones #1 and #3 in their places. You’re going to be cutting both of these.

Content: Contrary to popular opinion, moles don’t eat your plants. However, their surface tunnels can disturb plant roots, which can cause distress. In lawns, molehills make walking and mowing difficult and sometimes damages the grass. And, their tunnels can be hijacked by voles, little mice who DO eat plants. Mole Habitat: Look for mole activity around fences, hedges, buildings, and near woods. Moles Are Year-Round Pest: Moles are active year-round, but they’re particularly busy in spring and fall. During rainy periods, you’ll see more molehills as the earthworms move toward the surface. Trapping can be effective against moles.

Sexism in the Civil Rights Movement: A Discussion Guide
Content: In 1963, for example, Betty Friedan, founder of the National Organization for Women, published The Feminine Mystique, which exposed the strict and confining gender roles instilled in U.S. society in the 1950s and 1960s -- and, arguably, today. A frank and troubling exploration of the white housewife's daily existence, The Feminine Mystique revealed how white girls were socialized to marry and then live vicariously through their husbands and children, without establishing their own identities or interests. Further, the volume identified the ways in which society justified and perpetuated this system of male domination -- mainly through reinforcement of unquestioned societal assumptions about gender via media outlets, schools, houses of worship and other venues. The sexism that was present in the Civil Rights Movement was a continuation of oppressive mentality that existed in the larger U.S. culture, which was and is a white, male-dominated culture. Point #2: The leaders of the Civil Rights Movement never intended to end all forms of oppression in the U.S
Movement leaders set out to tackle one specific type of oppression -- racism -- focusing primarily on racial segregation. The Civil Rights Movement accomplished what it set out to do; it secured equal legal rights for people of color in the U.S. The value of the Movement's success cannot be overstated. Oppression, however, is a complex system of isms and phobias that work both independently and in coordination with one another. The term "African Americans" denotes a racial group in the U.S., but that racial group also includes members of other marginalized identities, such as women, gay men and lesbians, people with disabilities, poor people and others.

poverty [ pov -er-tee]
(noun) the condition of lacking sufficient money or goods to meet basic human needs such as food, shelter, clothing
Activities
Introduction: Many factors contribute to poverty. Most, if not all, of them—such as low-quality education, lack of adequate food and healthcare, and geographic location—can be traced to the legacy of discrimination that plagues people of color in the United States. Among the factors that often contribute to poverty are unemployment and underemployment. Put simply, many people live in poverty because they are unable to find a job that pays a living wage—or to find a job at all. To be sure, not everyone who is unemployed lives in poverty, but in this lesson you will look at how unemployment and underemployment often contribute to poverty. Poverty and unemployment do not affect everyone equally. People of color suffer from both unemployment and poverty disproportionately. In this lesson you will begin to question why—and in subsequent lessons you will delve more deeply into that question. 1.

To begin your exploration of unemployment in the United States, you’re going to play a game of musical chairs. ( Note: Have students set up chairs in a circle. Make sure that there are two fewer chairs than there are people. Bring music to play for the game.)

Now that you have a better understanding about why unemployment exists, think about which people are most affected by it. Unemployment doesn’t affect everyone equally. Some people have a harder time getting work than others. Think back to your game of musical chairs. Imagine that some of the players started the game in the far corner of the room, quite a distance away from the chairs, and that they had their shoelaces tied together. What would have happened to those people when the music stopped?

With a partner, discuss who you think the people with their shoelaces tied together represent. In other words, which job seekers do you think have the most trouble finding a job? Why do you think they have such a hard time? Have pairs share their ideas, and make a class list of your hypotheses.

Amazon Prime Day is a 48-hour retail holiday designed specifically for Prime members. Although it's typically celebrated in July, last year's Prime Day occurred on October 13. The pandemic and an unprecedented surge in deliveries caused Amazon to delay its retail holiday. However, this year Prime Day will likely return to its traditional summer timeframe.

Wouldn't you like to know how to handle difficult situations, especially difficult customer service problems, much more effectively and easily? Wouldn't you love to know how to communicate better with employees and customers? Would creative problem solving help in generating new, innovative ideas about how to do business? Could better time management skills help your days flow smoothly? These are only a few of the skills presented through various leadership training and development courses and seminars.

These are only a few of the skills presented through various leadership training and development courses and seminars. If you have in-house training available, it is very important to use this training avenue. It is also important, from time to time, to attend training seminars and other conferences. By interfacing with leaders from other businesses, you'll learn new ways of doing business and be able to find other people who have the same problems you face and brainstorm fresh, new ways to handle those problems. This cross-pollination of ideas can occur at supplier conferences, seminars, leadership retreats or other venues that allow personnel from other businesses to mix with your leadership team. Your leaders may learn a new way to implement a software tool or simply a new technique that is emerging in the leadership skills of businesses. With the cost of travel today, it can be difficult to send a leadership team to distant events. If one or two members of a leadership team can attend an event that is carefully selected, they can return and communicate the ideas to the entire business organization.

The investment in leadership training and development will pay for itself in better morale, increased skill levels, innovative techniques, training flow-down and you'll be glad you chose to invest in training leaders. Choose the most effective training for your firm's mission and vision by carefully screening the opportunities available.

In San Francisco for example, although located in the hearth of the subtropical climate zone, the weather is usually quite cool, with fresh temperatures even in summer. Winters are usually wet and mild but sometimes are also relatively cold. The climate in Northern California is more humid than the climate of Southern California and has many characteristics of the temperate climate zone.

Content: Due to its altitude, it’s one of the only two ski resorts in the world open year-round. With hundreds of miles of outdoor trails, the Zillertal Alps is a popular destination for mountaineers, hikers, and backpackers. Beginner hikers can trek along the lower-level pastures, while more advanced hikers can opt for a long-distance hike through the High Alps Nature Park. The 30-mile Zillertal High Road is an alternative option for those who prefer to enjoy the landscape from the comfort of their car. 8. Grossglockner Alpine Road
The epic 30-mile journey down Grossglockner Road is easily considered the most scenic road trip in Austria. The road starts in Bruck and travels towards the magnificent 12,461-foot Grossglockner, Austria’s tallest mountain. The winding road also goes through Hochtor Pass and across the Alpine divide at 8,200 feet above sea level, boasting breathtaking views of the dramatic valleys and mountains along the way. With plenty of hairpin turns, Grossglockner Road is a thrilling adventure for drivers and passengers alike. However, it’s also a popular destination for hikers, thanks to the multitudes of trails and paths that lead around the mountain.

3 key issues affecting global trade right now
22/08/2019

Despite the fact that international trade is more streamlined and interconnected than ever before, there are still a number of issues prevalent in the industry right now. These issues are creating problems and making things more difficult for supply chains around the world to function at optimal levels. Here is a look at three of the most important issues that are affecting global trade right now. 1. Rising tariffs
As the world’s largest economy, the United States has a lot of economic power and influence. However, under President Trump, the United States has decided to engage in a series of trade wars, using tariffs as its main weapon. Throughout his campaign, Donald Trump repeatedly stated that he believed that the United States was suffering from a series of bad trade deals and currency manipulation tactics from nations such as China. Once he got into office, President Trump started imposing a number of different tariffs on imported goods and justified them as an attempt to make trade conditions more favorable for the United States. In the past two years, Trump has put 10-25 % tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of Chinese goods.

Japan Government Bond 10Y
Generally, a government bond is issued by a national government and is denominated in the country`s own currency. Bonds issued by national governments in foreign currencies are normally referred to as sovereign bonds. The yield required by investors to loan funds to governments reflects inflation expectations and the likelihood that the debt will be repaid.

Classes and Types of Locomotives
Content: They are today very rarely in use. Fuel cell-electric locomotive (hydrail) is very recent type of locomotive. It is powered by hydrogen and it converts chemical energy of hydrogen to mechanical energy. The first one was demonstrated in 2002 in Val-d'Or, Quebec. Few places have this type of railway like Kaohsiung, Taiwan and some also have Rail Power GG20B locomotives that work originally on diesel but are converted to hydrogen. Atomic-Electric locomotive was an idea in 1950s when we didn't understand dangers of atomic power too well. It would have 200 ton reactor chamber which would be coated with 1.5 m of lead.

Content: Monorail – Monorail railways that are not using maglev design are today most often used in urban environments, with slow trains and trams that transport usually only people. Types of trains
Freight train – Essentially any train that is not carrying passengers. Its cars can be used for storing variety of goods, from solid items to liquids and gasses. Majority of the world railway network is used for industrial use. Inter-city trains – Public transportation trains, mostly built for safe travel low speeds at both land based railways and underground subway lines. Rapid transit – High Speed trains that are specially made with streamlined design that offers as little air resistance as possible. Trains made with this technology can achieve speeds of up to 300 km/h. Short and Long distance trains – This type of trains is often used for traveling between cities and countries, equipped with sleeping cars, dining cars and all necessary things that are needed to service passengers on their longer journeys. Trams – Slow public transportation trains, powered by electricity and almost exclusively used in highly congested urban zones. Mine trains – Special train types that are used for underground excavations of rock and coal.

Content: When
you
look
across
cultures,
you
will
find
that
people
have
had
a
wide
range
of
beliefs
about
gender. Some
cultures
look
at
people
and
see
six
genders,
while
others
see
two. Some
cultures
have
created
specific
ways
for
people
to
live
in
roles
that
are
different
from
that
assigned
to
them
at
birth. In
addition,
different
cultures
also
vary
in
their
definitions
of
masculine
and
feminine. Whether
we
view
someone
as
transgender
depends
on
the
cultural
lenses
we
are
looking
through
as
well
as
how
people
identify
themselves. Biologists
tell
us
that
sex
is
a
complicated
matter,
much
more
complex
than
what
we
may
have
been
taught
in
school. A
person
has
XX
chromosomes
is
generally
consid-
ered
female,
while
a
person
with
XY
chromosomes
is
generally
considered
male. How-
ever,
there
are
also
people
who
have
XXY,
XYY,
and
other
variations
of
chromosomes; these
genetic
differences
may
or
may
not
be
visibly
apparent
or
known
to
the
person. Some
people
are
born
with
XY
chromosomes,
but
are
unable
to
respond
to
testoster-
one
and
therefore
develop
bodies
with
a
vagina
and
breasts,
rather
than
a
penis
and
testes.

Scorpian Kick: The Rise & Fall of Narco-Soccer
Content: He wanted to contain the risk of getting busted by keeping supply low and prices high. The Medellin cartel had other plans. According to Boston George, the Medellin cartel began to see cocaine as a weapon that could be used to undermine American society. “Carlos [Lehder] had the concept where he wanted to flood the country with cocaine and destroy the political and moral structure of the United States. As he stated, cocaine was the atomic bomb and he was going to drop it on America,” said Boston George in a Frontline interview in 2000. Crack had a devastating effect on American cities. Crime rates soared as people scrambled to feed cocaine addictions. The huge sums of cash involved in cocaine trafficking made drug deals violent. Drug traffickers understood that marijuana deals were conducted with a handshake, cocaine deals with a gun. Flooding the U.S. with cocaine proved to be an unwise business decision.

He also incurred the wrath of the U.S. government. “Pablo was still known as the head of the cartel but I think in that sense he really became a figurehead. It all grew beyond his comprehension,” said Boston George in 2000. By the early 90’s Pablo found himself at war with the United States.

Title: Definitions Related to TBI – Traumatic Brain Injury
Headings: Definitions Related to TBI
Definitions Related to TBI
Secondary Injury Includes:
Need Help? Get in Contact with an Advocate.
Content: Causes direct injury by impact and pushing skull fragments into the brain. Secondary Injury – swelling and release of chemicals that promote inflammation and cell injury or death. This causes swelling in the brain which may increase the intracranial pressure and prevent the cerebrospinal fluid from draining out of the skull. This causes further increase in pressure and brain damage. If this is not controlled or prevented the brain can herniate (push through) the base of the skull and cause respiratory failure and death. The only way to prevent the primary injury is to prevent the trauma. The prevention of this secondary injury is the focus of the acute medical care after injury. Secondary Injury Includes: Intracranial hemorrhage (bleeding inside the skull)
Brain swelling
Increased intracranial pressure (pressure inside the skull)
Brain damage associated with lack of oxygen
Infection inside the skull, common with penetrating trauma
Chemical changes leading to cell death
Increased fluid inside the skull (hydrocephalus)
Acquired Brain Injury– injuries other than congenital, birth trauma, hereditary or degenerative. This includes traumatic brain injury.

Acquired Brain Injury– injuries other than congenital, birth trauma, hereditary or degenerative. This includes traumatic brain injury. In the non-traumatic types of acquired brain injury, the brain is usually diffusely injured. These injuries are usually not included in traumatic brain injury but the symptoms span the same spectrum. Common causes are anoxia and hypoxia. These are lack of oxygen to the brain and insufficient oxygen to the brain. They can occur because of mechanical problems with breathing, with cardiac arrest or bleeding.
