Title: Why 7 Deadly Diseases Strike Blacks Most Headings: Why 7 Deadly Diseases Strike Blacks Most Menu Why 7 Deadly Diseases Strike Blacks Most Health care disparities heighten disease differences between African-Americans and white Americans. Content: Cigarette smoking is declining faster among blacks than among whites -- but blacks still die of lung diseases more frequently than white Americans. This could be due to health care disparities -- blacks may get diagnosed later, when diseases are harder to treat -- but it could also be due to genetic susceptibility. "The environment is involved, and there is potential genetic susceptibility -- but we also have to talk about the fact that African-Americans' social and economic status lags behind that of Caucasians," Graham says. " And low socioeconomic status is linked to more disease." Continued It's not a simple question of access to health care itself, but access to specialists. Even within HMOs, Graham says, blacks get specialist referrals less often than whites. "I wonder if minority populations put as much pressure on their doctors to get specialty referrals," says Graham, who works to empower black community groups to know what they should expect from their health care. " And there may be more insidious, darker reasons why doctors are less likely to refer African-American patients. But as a specialist myself, I know that patients who get to see me have gone to their doctors and said, 'This isn't working.'" African-Americans and Heart Disease, Stroke Heart disease and stroke disproportionately affect African-Americans.

"What sets the stage for the more aggressive and higher incidence of heart disease in African-Americans is a very high incidence of high blood pressure ," Yancy says. " This predisposes African-Americans to more heart disease, kidney disease, and stroke. And heart failure -- an African-American is much more likely to get there with an absence of previous heart disease. That is most important.

Indeed, treatment guidelines suggest that doctors should consider different drugs based on a patient's race. But Yancey says that a closer look at the data shows that race tends to be a marker for more complicated high blood pressure treatment. "Data suggests that all therapies do equally well -- but patients at higher risk need more intensive therapy," he says.

Researchers have uncovered some facts: In the U.S, blacks respond differently to high blood pressure drugs than do other groups of people. Blacks in the U.S. also seem to be more sensitive to salt, which increases the risk of developing high blood pressure. Environmental factors. Some scientists believe that high blood pressure in African-Americans is due to factors unique to the experience of blacks in the U.S. Blacks worldwide have rates of high blood pressure that are similar to whites. In the U.S., however, the difference is dramatic: 41% of blacks have high blood pressure, as compared to 27% of whites. In addition, black people in the U.S are more likely to be overweight than blacks in other countries. Some experts think that social and economic factors -- including discrimination and economic inequality -- are responsible for this difference.

Title: Psychiatry, Psychology, Counseling, and Therapy: What to Expect Headings: Guide to Psychiatry and Counseling Menu Guide to Psychiatry and Counseling Where to Start Types of Mental Health Professionals Content: So the first person to see if you think you are having a mental problem is your primary care doctor. Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, how long you've been having them, and whether they're constant or come and go. Your doctor will check for physical problems that could be causing your symptoms and help you decide what type of mental health professional and what kind of therapy might be best for you. Types of Mental Health Professionals Your doctor might refer you to any of the following mental health professionals: Psychiatrist. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (M.D. or D.O.) who specializes in preventing, diagnosing, and treating mental illness. A psychiatrist's training starts with four years of medical school and is followed by a one-year internship and at least three years of specialized training as a psychiatric resident. A psychiatrist is trained to differentiate mental health problems from other underlying medical conditions that could present with psychiatric symptoms. They also monitor the effects of mental illness on other physical conditions (such as problems with the heart or high blood pressure ), and the effects of medicines on the body (such as weight, blood sugar, blood pressure, sleep, and kidney or liver functioning). Continued As a doctor, a psychiatrist is licensed to write prescriptions.

Many mental disorders -- such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, or bipolar disorder -- can be treated effectively with specific drugs. If you are working with a psychiatrist, a lot of the treatment may be focused on medication management. Sometimes medication alone is enough to treat the mental illness. Sometimes a combination of medication and psychotherapy or counseling is needed. If that is the case, the psychiatrist may provide the psychotherapy, or the psychiatrist may refer you to a counselor or other type of mental health professional.

Title: Mental Health Disorders May Shorten Life Span: Study – WebMD Headings: Mental Health Disorders May Shorten Life Span Menu Mental Health Disorders May Shorten Life Span By Amy Norton Content: Walker's team found that the mortality "gap" between people with and without mental disorders has grown over time -- becoming wider in studies done since the 1990s, versus those done prior to 1970. Part of that could be due to healthier lifestyle habits in the general population, according to Olfson. Smoking, for example, has declined overall, but is still prevalent among people with mental health conditions, he noted. Continued Whatever the specific reasons, Walker said it appears that people with psychiatric conditions are not seeing the same physical health improvements as the overall population. "There's no simple solution to this," she said. " It's going to take multiple approaches." One approach is to make sure that people with psychiatric disorders have access to all the types of health care they need, according to Walker. She noted that Americans with mental health issues also have higher-than-average rates of poverty and unemployment, and may also lack the "social support" -- family and friends -- that can help them deal with chronic ills. Both Walker and Olfson also pointed to the need for more "integrated care" -- which essentially means better coordination among the different professionals responsible for a patient's mental and physical health. As for families of people with mental disorders, Olfson said they should be aware of the potential physical toll -- and do what they can to support a healthy lifestyle.

Over time, drinking water contaminated with inorganic arsenic may lead to high blood pressureand problems with memory, attention, and intelligence in children. Pregnancyand breast-feeding: Arsenic is LIKELY SAFEwhen eaten in normal food amounts by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. However, other forms of arsenic (inorganic arsenic) are LIKELY UNSAFEwhen taken by mouth by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding, especially when used long-term or in high doses. Inorganic arsenic has been linked to miscarriages, stillbirths, and, in some cases, death of the newborninfant. It might also cause babies to be born too big or small. Do not take arsenic supplementsand avoid water contaminated with inorganic arsenic if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Low levels of folic acid(folic acid deficiency): There is some evidence that folic acid deficiency changes the way the body processes and removes arsenic and may contribute to higher arsenic levels.

WebMD Special Sections Content: YOGURT: Overview, Uses, Side Effects, Precautions, Interactions, Dosing and Reviews Yogurt Overview Yogurt is a dairy product made by fermenting milk using one or more of a variety of particular bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Enterococcus faecium, Streptococcus thermophilus, and others. Yogurt is used for constipation, high levels of cholesterol or other fats ( lipids) in the blood ( hyperlipidemia ), vaginal infections, inability to properly digest the sugar lactose ( lactose intolerance ), and other conditions. More research is needed to support most of its uses. Yogurt is eaten as a food and used as an alternative to milk in lactose-intolerant individuals. How does it work ? Some yogurt contains bacteria which may help restore the normal bacteria in the digestive tract and vagina. This might help treat diarrhea and vaginal infections. Uses & Effectiveness ? Possibly Effective for Constipation.

It also seems to reduce straining and pain during bowel movements. High levels of cholesterol or other fats (lipids) in the blood (hyperlipidemia). Taking yogurt with live bacterial cultures seems to decrease cholesterol in patients with borderline to moderately high cholesterol levels. This type of yogurt seems to lower total and "bad" low-density lipoprotein ( LDL) cholesterol but does not raise "good" high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Inability to properly digest the sugar lactose (lactose intolerance). Eating yogurt with live bacterial cultures seems to improve lactose tolerance in children and adults who are unable to fully digest lactose. Vaginal yeast infections. Taking yogurt by mouth seems to prevent vaginal yeast infections. Applying a mixture of yogurt and honey inside the vagina seems to reduce symptoms and help treat vaginal yeast infections.

Weakened immune system: There is some concern live bacteria in yogurt might reproduce unchecked, causing illness in people with weakened immune systems, such as people with HIV/AIDS or organ transplant recipients. Lactobacillus in yogurt has caused disease, but rarely, in people with weakened immune systems. To be on the safe side, if you have a weakened immune system, avoid eating large amounts of yogurt that contain live bacteria for prolonged periods of time without advice from your healthcare professional.

A series of bee venom shots under the skin (bee venom immunotherapy) seems to be effective for reducing reactions to bee stings in people with severe allergy to bee stings. Bee venom immunotherapy provides 98% to 99% protection from reactions to bee stings. Once immunotherapy is stopped, the risk of reaction over the next 5 to 10 years is about 5% to 15%. Purified bee venom for under-the- skin injection is an FDA approved product. Possibly Ineffective for Multiple sclerosis (MS). Administering live bee stings in gradually increasing doses up to 20 stings given three times weekly does not seem to improve multiples sclerosis. Treatment for 24 weeks does not seem to improve fatigue, disability, or quality of life. Insufficient Evidence for Stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint (frozen shoulder). Early research suggests that receiving dilute bee venom injections might improve pain and disability in people with frozen shoulder.

Indeed, you have so many things in common with that venerable President that one might imagine you were his reincarnation in different dress. You are both thin and wiry, brilliant speakers, appearing on the national stage at pivotal times. Fertile imaginations could envision you coming back dressed in that African heritage you freed, to help heal the great scar of slavery and prove once and for all the proposition that all men are created equal and can achieve great things if given a fighting chance. As Wordsworth said, however, our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; and if that is true, you may have forgotten a more subtle form of slavery from which Lincoln tried less successfully to free his countrymen. You may have forgotten it because it has been omitted from our popular history books, leaving Americans ill-equipped to interpret the lessons of our own past.

Lincoln�s Monetary Breakthrough The bankers had Lincoln�s government over a barrel, just as Wall Street has Congress in its vice-like grip today. The North needed money to fund a war, and the bankers were willing to lend it only under circumstances that amounted to extortion, involving staggering interest rates of 24 to 36 percent. Lincoln saw that this would bankrupt the North and asked a trusted colleague to research the matter and find a solution. In what may be the best piece of advice ever given to a sitting President, Colonel Dick Taylor of Illinois reported back that the Union had the power under the Constitution to solve its financing problem by printing its money as a sovereign government.

According to historian W. Cleon Skousen: �Right after the Civil War there was considerable talk about reviving Lincoln�s brief experiment with the Constitutional monetary system. Had not the European money-trust intervened, it would have no doubt become an established institution. � The institution that became established instead was the Federal Reserve, a privately-owned central bank given the power in 1913 to print Federal Reserve Notes (or dollar bills) and lend them to the government. The government was submerged in a debt that has grown exponentially since, until it is now an unrepayable $11 trillion. For nearly a century, Lincoln�s statue at the Lincoln Memorial has gazed out pensively across the reflecting pool toward the Federal Reserve building, as if pondering what the bankers had wrought since his death and how to remedy it. Building on a Successful Tradition Lincoln did not invent government-issued paper money. Rather, he restored a brilliant innovation of the American colonists. According to Benjamin Franklin, it was the colonists� home-grown paper �scrip� that was responsible for the remarkable abundance in the colonies at a time when England was suffering from the ravages of the Industrial Revolution.

According to Benjamin Franklin, it was the colonists� home-grown paper �scrip� that was responsible for the remarkable abundance in the colonies at a time when England was suffering from the ravages of the Industrial Revolution. Like with Lincoln�s Greenbacks, this prosperity posed a threat to the control of the British Crown and the emerging network of private British banks, prompting the King to ban the colonists� paper money and require the payment of taxes in gold. According to Franklin and several other historians of the period, it was these onerous demands by the Crown, and the corresponding collapse of the colonists� paper money supply, that actually sparked the Revolutionary War. 2 The colonists won the war but ultimately lost the money power to a private banking cartel, one that issued another form of paper money called �banknotes. � Today the bankers� debt-based money has come to dominate most of the economies of the world; but there are a number of historical examples of the successful funding of economic development in other countries simply with government-issued credit.

Prices did increase during the American Civil War, but this was attributed to the scarcity of goods common in wartime rather than to the Greenback itself. War produces weapons rather than consumer goods. Today, with trillions of dollars being committed for bailouts and stimulus plans, another objection to Lincoln�s solution is likely to be, �The U.S. government is already printing its own money � and lots of it. � This, however, is a misconception. What the government prints are bonds � its I.O.U.s or debt. If the government did print dollars, instead of

Home Security Phishing Vangie Beal March 3, 2021 Updated on: May 14, 2021 What is phishing? Phishing is a type of cybercrime in which victims are contacted by email, telephone, or text message by an attacker posing as a trustworthy entity in order to obtain sensitive information or data, such as login credentials, credit card details, or other personally identifiable information. Phishing attackers will typically ask for: Date of birth Social security number Phone number Credit card details Home address Password information An attacker’s goal in phishing is to lead the victim to click a link or download an attachment, which can lead to the installation of malware, the freezing of the system as part of a ransomware attack, or directing users to a malicious website that is disguised as a legitimate site, in which the victim enters in personal information. The results can include large unauthorized purchases, identity theft, and the stealing of funds. Common requested actions in a phishing scam include: Clicking an attachment Enabling macros in a Microsoft Word document Updating a password Downloading a file Responding to a social media connection request Using a new Wi-Fi hotspot Phishing is a type of social engineering attack, an umbrella term to describe many methods of stealing personal information and manipulation to hack victims’ private or corporate accounts. Many scams and cybercrimes fall into the category of social engineering, particularly phishing, but social engineering mainly indicates some level of personal manipulation.

Cyber manipulation could mean sending malicious files via email or stealing someone’s personal data to access an account or a building. Other types of social engineering includes baiting, scareware, and pretexting. The term phishing serves as an analogy of the sport of angling. Phishing attackers use “lures,” setting out “hooks” to “fish” for credentials and financial data from the “sea” of internet victims.

Title: What is Social Engineering? | Webopedia Headings: Social Engineering Social Engineering Basic characteristics of social engineering Methods of social engineering Avoiding social engineering tactics Content: Cyber manipulation could mean sending malicious files via email or stealing someone’s personal data to access an account or a building. But these types of manipulation aren’t siloed—many scams fit multiple categories of social engineering. Basic characteristics of social engineering Pressure: excessive capitalization or an urgent tone are ways that cybercriminals put pressure on their victims. If they can convince you to act quickly, you may not pause to wonder if the request is genuine. Time constraint: a malicious party will make you believe you are missing out by warning that an offer ends soon or saying that you need to update your account as soon as possible, even if the target is your bank account and you’ve never received an email like that from them before. Targeted manipulation: good hackers do their homework, and they may know what stores you love or other relevant personal information just from stalking your social media or your LinkedIn account. This will allow them to tailor a scam more successfully.

Title: Headings: Content: Ancient Olympics: Greek Mythological Origins, Tracy Marks The Origins of the Olympics in Ancient Greece, religious and mythical sources The Ancient Olympics Their Origin in Greek Mythology and Religion copyright 2001, 2002 by Tracy Marks What is the origin of the Olympics? The Olympic Games, originally created to honor Zeus, was the most important national festival of the ancient Greeks, and a focus of political rivalries between the nation-states. However, all competitions involved individual competitors rather than teams. Winning an Olympic contest was regarded more highly than winning a battle and was proof of an individual arete or personal excellence. The winners were presented with garlands, crowned with olive wreaths, and viewed as national heroes. Although records of the Olympics date back to 776 BC when the Olympics were reorganized and the official "First Olympiad" was held, Homer's Iliad suggests that they existed as early as the 12th century BC. The games were held every four years in honor of Zeus, in accordance with the four year time periods which the Greeks called olympiads. Emperor Theodosius I of Rome discontinued them in the 4th century AD, and they did not occur again until they were reinstated in Athens in 1896. Originally, the Olympics was confined to running, but by the 15th Olympiad, additional sports were added the pentathlon (five different events), boxing, wrestling, chariot racing, as well as a variety of foot races of varying lengths, including a long-distance race of about 2.5 miles.

Title: Headings: Content: Athletes usually competed nude, proudly displaying their perfect bodies. Women, foreigners, slaves, and dishonored persons were forbidden to compete; women, once they were married, were not even allowed to watch any Olympic events, except for chariot races. However, every four years, women held their own games, called the Heraeaafter Hera, held at Argos, and beginning as early as the 6th century B.C. and lasting at least six centuries until Roman rule. How was the Olympics a sacred festival? Unlike our modern Olympic games, the ancient Greek Olympic games was a religious rather than secular festival, celebrating the gods in general and Zeus in particular. The contests themselves alternated with altar rituals and sacrifices, as well as processions and banquets. Individual competitors trained rigorously not only for personal glory, but also to impress and please a god through demonstrating strength and agility. Although one legend suggests that Heracles won a race at Olympia and decreed that races should be instituted every four years, the most common legends suggest that Zeus originated the games after he defeated Cronus in battle. Many events occurred at the Olympic stadium near the temple of Zeus in Olympia southwest of Athens.

Title: Obama and Legislative Power | Washington Examiner Headings: Obama and Legislative Power Obama and Legislative Power Content: Presidential Leadership of Congress, “Presidential efforts at leading Congress do not occur in a vacuum. To understand presidential leadership one must also understand the context in which it takes place.” Edwards argues “despite the conventional wisdom that attributes substantial importance to a president’s legislative skills in determining support for the president on congressional votes, there is good reason to be cautious in accepting this conclusion at face value. Other factors are likely to exercise more influence on congressional voting.” Other scholars agree. Political scientists Jon R. Bond and Richard Fleisher in their book The President in the Legislative Arena conclude: “ [ T]here is little the president can do to move members of Congress very far from their basic political predisposition.” Congressional leaders, Bond and Fleisher argue, hold more sway than presidents over lawmakers. “ Congressional leaders are likely to have more influence on how Congress responds to presidential preferences than anything the president can do personally.” After all, Obama’s legislative victories were not based on bills crafted by the White House.

Title: Headings: Content: Latin America is inextricably tied to the United States economically, but when hearing Ross Perot speak during the 1992 presidential election campaign, an observer might have concluded that the region is more a threat than a vital economic partner of the United States. This relationship demonstrates a historic imbalance, and the importance of the United States to Latin America continues to outweigh the importance of the region to its powerful northern neighbor. Many Latin American governments are largely dependent on the U.S. for their economic well-being, and an economic decline in the United States is virtually certain to trigger a recession in Latin America. This cause and effect relationship is summarized by the phrase "When the U.S. economy sneezes, Latin American economies catch pneumonia." The economic, political, and military influence of the United States in the region has historically been tremendous. Many governments south of the U.S./Mexican border have traditionally defined their foreign policies by opposition to the United States, and virtually all the citizens of the region harbor some resentment for past meddling and interventions of "the ugly Americans" in Latin American internal affairs. Since the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the strategic context of international affairs has been dramatically transformed. Changes in Latin America contributing to this new environment include transitions to democratic governance in virtually all the nations of the region and the growing acceptance of the free market economic model. Latin American protectionism and overt resentment of the United States are giving way to privatization, lowered tariffs, and expectations of a positive future relationship with the United States embodied in former President George Bush's "Enterprise for the Americas Initiative." The greatest risk faced by the United States in the post-cold war era is that the U.S. will declare victory against communism and fail to fundamentally reassess its foreign policy toward Latin America and the rest of the globe.

The greatest risk faced by the United States in the post-cold war era is that the U.S. will declare victory against communism and fail to fundamentally reassess its foreign policy toward Latin America and the rest of the globe. It appears that a historic characteristic of international relations, during and before the cold war, was the United States' consistent support of third world regimes presiding over unjust economic orders. The U.S. government has historically supported the status quo in foreign countries to promote political stability and thereby protect U.S. economic interests. In the current period of dramatic change in the global balance of power, it is imperative for the United States to consider whether or not this historic trend must inevitably continue, or whether the U.S. can become a more active agent for positive change and reform in the Third World. Following the victory of the West over the Soviet communism, policymakers should not ignore the viable lessons Marxism and socialist critiques of international relations offer. As Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari has observed, "Experience has taught us that a state without a market leads to inefficiency, but present reality proves that a market without a state leads to injustice."

Title: What if Constantine had stayed in Rome? Headings: What if Constantine had stayed in Rome? What if Constantine had stayed in Rome? What would have happened if Constantine never moved to Constantinople? Civil unrest in Rome throughout the fourth century The Western Roman Empire would have remained intact into the sixth or seventh century The eastern Mediterranean would have been overrun by Muslims by the seventh century The religious makeup of the Mediterranean would have been vastly different The Franks would have been a weaker version of what they became in the eighth and ninth centuries The Vikings might have been wiped off the map by the early ninth century A decision that changed history About the author Phidippides Blog Categories Search blog articles Phids’ Playlist Content: June 13, 2016 - By Phidippides In the 320s, the Roman emperor Constantine made the critical decision to create his new capital in the East. The new capital, Constantinople, came to occupy the site of an old Greek town and would forever be changed by the emperor’s choice. According to Richard Krautheimer, the reason he made the move was (at least in part) in order to create a new, Christian capital – one which was free from the attachments of old, entrenched pagan families who occupied the city of Rome. During the early years of his reign, Constantine respected pagan sensibilities by building the Christian churches of St. John Lateran and Old St. Peter’s in the far reaches of the city, away from the more visible spaces that were closer to the Palatine, Viminal, Esquiline, and Caelian Hills. This was not enough, though, as Krautheimer suspects the tension between the old and new religion helped lead Constantine to search for his new capital in the East. What would have happened if Constantine never moved to Constantinople? We know the aftermath of Constantine’s crucial decision: a permanent shift in power to the Eastern Roman Empire, a sustained Christian presence in the eastern Mediterranean which would provide a bulwark for Europe for over a millennium, and the development of a rich Byzantine cultural tradition. There is little doubt that this move served Rome well (the empire moreso than the city), but it still leaves a tempting question: what would have happened to Rome had Constantine (and his successors) never left?

There is little doubt that this move served Rome well (the empire moreso than the city), but it still leaves a tempting question: what would have happened to Rome had Constantine (and his successors) never left? Let’s speculate with some generalities. Civil unrest in Rome throughout the fourth century The decline in population that the empire suffered beginning in the third century and the growing threats from barbarians to the north in the fourth century would have made Rome a turbulent place to live. Constantine’s Christianity would have continued to ruffle feathers with the pagan elites of the time, and this could have ballooned into ongoing civil problems. We already know that Constantine faced opposition from other Romans prior to his move to Constantinople, and if he never made the move there we can imagine this opposition would have worsened. Eventually this unrest could have subsided, but likely under authoritarian rule by the governing emperors who succeeded Constantine.

Title: Super high density olive trees for oil next success story? | Farm Progress Headings: Super high density olive trees for oil next success story? Super high density olive trees for oil next success story? Suggested Event Farm Futures Business Summit - Ag Finance Boot Camp Content: Table olives have been grown commercially in California for decades. However, acreage of primarily Mission and Manzanillo variety table olives has changed little for decades. Foreign competition has strangled California’s table olive industry. Europeans have for decades also flooded the U.S. market with inexpensive olive oil thanks to post World War II trade agreements. Olive oil has never been at the top of the supermarket shopping list for most American consumers, but that all changed when nutritionists started extolling the health attributes of olive oil. U.S. olive oil consumption has soared in the past decade from 31 million gallons to 65 million gallons annually. As American consumers embrace olive oil for cooking, salad dressings and numerous other uses, they are demanding better quality oil than what is mostly imported from Europe. This demand for better quality is comparable to the evolution from so-called jug wines to varietal wines in America. California premium olive oil production has more than doubled in the past five years to get a piece of this growing market, but the 383,000 gallons produced last year did not even make a ripple in U.S. olive market of 65 million gallons. California Olive Ranch produced about a third of California’s 2004 production.

A balance transfer is when you move balances from one or more credit or store cards to another credit card. Consolidating multiple cards into a new card can make it simpler for you to manage your credit card debt. For example, it could give you only one monthly repayment and annual card fee on your debt, provided you close your previous cards. With a Westpac balance transfer, you can: Consolidate up to 3 non-Westpac Australian issued credit, charge or store cards. Transfer up to 80% of the credit limit available on the Westpac card you’re transferring to (minimum transfer of $200). The process is simple: Apply for a Westpac credit card online. In your application, include the account numbers of the credit cards you would like to transfer, the providers' biller codes and the amounts you'd like to transfer.

The extent of this assessment can vary depending on the specific job, but it may include evaluating a financial system, management protocol, and the company policies that are being used to protect against waste or fraud.

A company can succeed or fail depending on the auditor that they hire, and being an auditor can be quite a rewarding experience as you work to make a difference in each and every company that you work with. What sort of training and education will prepare me to become an auditor? The best and most logical first step towards becoming an auditor is to earn a business degree.
