Title: Is Die Hard a Christmas Movie or Not? Headings: One Last Time, Here's Why Die Hard Is a Christmas Movie One Last Time, Here's Why Die Hard Is a Christmas Movie Holiday songs, Santa jokes, festive cheer and machine guns—what more do you want? Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Answer: no. Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Answer: yes! Content: They have to argue that Die Hard fails to incorporate non-setting features of a Christmas movie—in other words, not only is Die Hard ’s setting not enough to call it a Christmas movie, none of its storylines, themes, or structures place it into this genre either. This is a more difficult argument. What are Christmas movie themes? What makes a Christmas movie a Christmas movie? One definition might entail how integral the holiday is to the story. Does the story work without the holiday? Is it still as effective? Yippy Ki Nay might then suggest that the action elements that make Die Hard good are ones that can take place in any season. The center of Die Hard holds when the Christmas is taken away. Plus, Die Hard was never marketed as a Christmas movie and it was released in July 1988.

Title: ​ Can You Eat Dairy If You Are Lactose Intolerant? | Men’s Health Headings: ​Is It Bad to Eat Dairy If It Gives You Diarrhea? ​Is It Bad to Eat Dairy If It Gives You Diarrhea? Experts reveal if your milk habit is doing your body harm​ What Exactly Is Lactose Intolerance? So How Bad Is It to Eat Dairy If You’re Lactose Intolerant? Content: As a result, many of lose the lactase enzyme that allows us to break those milk sugars down into smaller parts, says Hunnes. That’s what causes lactose intolerance. Without enough of the lactase enzyme, your body can’t metabolize dairy, leading to digestive problems like diarrhea, abdominal cramping or pain, bloating, gas, nausea, and sometimes even vomiting about 30 minutes to two hours after eating it. ( Here’s what to do if you get diarrhea on a run .) “The severity of symptoms typically increases with the amount of lactose you eat,” says Dr. Inra. Usually, lactose intolerance is something that develops as you age—you’ll usually notice some symptoms start to begin in adolescence. It’s also possible to pick up symptoms later in life, says Dr. Inra. An injury to your small intestine—from infection or inflammation, such as from celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disorders—can also lead to lactose intolerance. The good news, though, is in these cases, your lactase levels will return to normal after you treat the underlying disease. Otherwise, lactose intolerance doesn’t get better over time—even if you try to reintroduce yourself to dairy little by little, she says.

BY Ethan Trex August 16, 2017 A total solar eclipse will cut a path of totality across the United States on August 21, and eclipse mania is gripping the country. Should the wide-eyed and unprotected hazard a peek at this rare phenomenon? NASA doesn't advise it. The truth is, a quick glance at a solar eclipse won't leave you blind. But you're not doing your peepers any favors. As NASA explains, even when 99 percent of the sun's surface is covered, the 1 percent that sneaks out around the edges is enough to damage the rod and cone cells in your retinas. As this light and radiation flood into the eye, the retina becomes trapped in a sort of solar cooker that scorches its tissue. And because your retinas don't have any pain receptors, your eyes have no way of warning you to stop.

A pair of NASA-approved eclipse glasses will block the retina-frying rays, but sunglasses or any other kind of smoked lenses cannot. ( The editors at MrEclipse.com, an eclipse watchers' fan site, put shades in the "eye suicide" category.) NASA also suggests watching the eclipse indirectly through a pinhole projector, or through binoculars or a telescope fitted with special solar filters. While it's safe to take a quick, unfiltered peek at the sun in the brief totality of a total solar eclipse, doing so during the partial phases—when the Moon is not completely covering the Sun—is much riskier. WOULDN'T IT BE EASIER TO JUST TELL YOUR KIDS THEY WILL GO BLIND? NASA's website tackled this question. Their short answer: that could ruin their lives. "A student who heeds warnings from teachers and other authorities not to view the eclipse because of the danger to vision, and learns later that other students did see it safely, may feel cheated out of the experience.

Images: iStock/Customdesigner (TV), iStock/D-Keine (crime scene) Everywhere you turn these days, it seems like there’s a new—and wildly successful—book, podcast, or show devoted to a crime. Investigation Discovery, a hit from when it debuted in 2008, continues to top the ratings (and even throws its own true crime convention, IDCon ). From Serial and Dr. Death to In the Dark and Atlanta Monster, there’s no shortage of true crime podcasts. The genre is so huge that Netflix—whose offerings in this arena include The Keepers, Evil Genius, Wild Wild Country, Making a Murderer, The Staircase, and many more—even created a parody true crime series ( American Vandal ). Which raises the question: Why are we so obsessed with true crime? Here’s what the experts have to say.

Because evil fascinates us. The true crime genre gives people a glimpse into the minds of people who have committed what forensic psychologist Dr. Paul G. Mattiuzzi calls “a most fundamental taboo and also, perhaps, a most fundamental human impulse”—murder. “ In every case,” he writes, “there is an assessment to be made about the enormity of evil involved.” This fascination with good versus evil, according to Mantell, has existed forever; Dr. Elizabeth Rutha, a licensed clinical psychologist at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago, told AHC Health News that our fascination begins when we're young. Even as kids, we're drawn to the tension between good and evil, and true crime embodies our fascination with that dynamic.

Like many tusked animals, this arctic whale has a majestic quality to it. In medieval times, its long, straight tusk was often given to royalty, passed off as a “unicorn horn.” In the 16th century, a narwhal tusk worth £10,000 was given to Queen Elizabeth. Today, the narwhal still holds our interest, and its tusk remains one of the most mysterious things about these creatures. Here’s what we know about them. 1. Its tusk is actually a tooth While it might appear to be situated in the center of its head, the narwhal’s tusk is actually an exaggerated front left tooth that protrudes from the upper lip. The right front tooth is small, and usually remains in the mouth. Stranger still, while most teeth (including human teeth) have a hard exterior and a soft, sensitive interior, narwhal teeth are the opposite. “

The company even has two forensic laboratories, based in Las Vegas and Minneapolis, to analyze security footage and gather evidence of criminal activities. Employees are not expected to intervene on the sales floor, however, due to the potential for physical confrontation or liability. Instead, they usually just have to contact the asset protection teams and watch. “ One lady last summer stole a bunch of clothes," Katherine says.

It also means that women who are found to be killers can become quite famous for it, as the media sensationalizes their crimes. A hundred years later, these cases may be mostly forgotten, but the stories are still there for those who want to learn about them. Be warned that these tales are disturbing. 1. Marie Manning Marie de Roux Manning was born in Switzerland in 1821 and immigrated to England as a domestic servant in 1846. She became involved with Patrick O'Connor, a wealthy Irishman, and Frederick Manning, a railroad worker and suspected thief. Both proposed to Marie. She considered which would make a better husband: O’Connor was 50 years old, but also a customs agent with investments.

Content: Scented olive oil Olives were such a big part of life in ancient Greece and Rome that they were used as the base for perfumes. Perfume makers would steep aromatics—such as leaves, roots, and flowers—in oil pressed from olives. Once the oil was infused with the scents, they would strain it and apply it to the skin. 5. Perfume baths Another way ancient Greeks dealt with body odor was by constantly bathing. Some people in high society took scented baths before applying perfume beneath their armpits (a practice they copied from the Egyptians). In that era, it wasn’t unusual to take baths once a day —a practice that faded out in the Middle Ages when getting nude to bathe was considered impure. 6. Ambergris Many of the most common perfume ingredients throughout history came from messy places. Ambergris, which has been used by perfumers for centuries, is a waxy substance that forms when indigestible matter clumps together in the intestines of sperm whales (how it gets out of whales and into the ocean is still debated).

Human body odor was actually less pungent for most of history than it is now (according to a recent study, using antiperspirants consistently could make sweat smell worse ), but insecure consumers were convinced it was a problem. The deodorant used 100 years ago was different from the product most people are familiar with today. It contained acid that could damage skin and clothing; one home recipe from 1903 included carbolic acid, which burns on contact with the skin. Health History News Subscribe to our Newsletter!

Despite the difficultly Europeans had in replicating soy-based ketchup, they weren't ready to take the plunge into tomato ketchup. The major stumbling block: for centuries, Europeans labored under the misconception that tomatoes were poisonous . Americans were more willing to dabble with the fruit. The first known written recipe for tomato ketchup came from Philadelphia horticulturist James Mease in 1812. Mease’s recipe included spices, brandy, and, of course, tomatoes, which the scientist referred to as "love apples." 4.

Heinz saw an advertisement for 21 styles of shoes while riding a New York City train in 1896 and was inspired to create similar branding for his own company. Even though Heinz’s company manufactured more than 60 products, the condiment entrepreneur went with "57 Varieties," an amalgam of his own lucky number, 5, and his wife's, 7. 7. “

That "57" isn't just clever branding—it’s also a key component of a life hack for easing more ketchup out of the classic Heinz glass bottles.

Alice Walker pretended to be Zora Neale Hurston’s niece while searching for her unmarked grave. 4. Alice Walker had the wrong birth year engraved on Zora Neale Hurston’s gravestone. 5. Zora Neale Hurston set many of her works in her hometown of Eatonville, Florida—except it wasn’t her hometown. 6. Zora Neale Hurston was the first Black woman to graduate from Barnard College. 7. Zora Neale Hurston interviewed the last known survivor of the transatlantic slave trade. 8. Zora Neale Hurston's best-known novel was met with serious criticism. 9. Their Eyes Were Watching God garnered major acclaim more than 40 years after its publication. Content: Hurston, a central figure of the Harlem Renaissance, was at the height of her literary career in the 1930s. But adulation turned to derision with the publication of Their Eyes Were Watching God in 1937. The story of Janie Crawford, a young, working-class Black woman, and her “ ever maturing sense of self through three marriages,” the novel faced intense criticism from Hurston’s male peers and critics. Its depiction of a small, Southern town where everyday life did not include lynchings, abuse, or endless back-breaking labor led some to accuse Hurston of whitewashing the racial status quo and pandering to white audiences by perpetuating the minstrel tradition. In a 1937 review of the book, Native Son author Richard Wright wrote: "Miss Hurston voluntarily continues in her novel the tradition which was forced upon the Negro in the theatre, that is, the minstrel technique that makes the ‘white folks’ laugh. Her characters eat and laugh and cry and work and kill; they swing like a pendulum eternally in that safe and narrow orbit in which America likes to see the Negro live: between laughter and tears … The sensory sweep of her novel carries no theme, no message, no thought. In the main, her novel is not addressed to the Negro, but to a white audience whose chauvinistic tastes she knows how to satisfy.

Date last updated: 11 September 2019 Risk factors Societal Community Relationships Individual Protective factors Societal Community Relationships Individual Suicide, mental health and self-harm Suicide prevention Help and support Further information and resources References Content: Overall, men accounted for three-quarters of UK deaths by suicide in 2018. 2 Suicide and suicide attempts can have lasting effects on individuals and their social networks and communities. The causes of suicide are many, and it is important to understand the psychological processes that underlie suicidal thoughts, and the factors that can lead to feelings of hopelessness or despair. 3 In recognition of this, the 2019 theme for World Mental Health Day (as set by the World Federation for Mental Health) is “Mental Health Promotion and Suicide Prevention”. Risk factors Suicide behaviours are complex, there is no single explanation of why people die by suicide. Social, psychological, and cultural factors can all interact to lead a person to suicidal thoughts or behaviour. For many people, an attempt may occur after a long period of suicidal thoughts or feelings, while in other cases, it may be more impulsive. Several risk factors commonly act together to increase vulnerability to suicidal behaviour. The World Health Organisation has classified these into the different groups below: 1 Societal difficulties accessing or receiving care access to means of suicide inappropriate media reporting stigma associated with mental health, substance abuse or suicidal behaviour which prevents people from seeking help Community poverty experiences of trauma or abuse experiences of disaster, war, or conflict experiences of discrimination Relationships isolation and lack of social support relationship breakdown loss or conflict Individual previous suicide attempts self-harm behaviours mental ill-health drug and alcohol misuse financial loss chronic pain family history of suicide Protective factors Protective factors are those that can help to reduce vulnerability to suicidal behaviour.

The federal role in mental health includes regulating systems and providers, protecting the rights of consumers, providing funding for services, and supporting research and innovation. As a major funding source for mental health services, the federal government establishes and enforces minimum standards that states can then expand upon. Federal Legislation and Regulations. Federal laws create changes and provide oversight across the states. Legislation at this level may take a longer time but can have a massive impact once passed. Regulations are rules issues by federal agencies to help implement the laws. In terms of mental health, regulations cover a variety of topics and apply to a number of groups including schools, insurance companies, treatment providers, and employers. These rules clarify just how major pieces of legislation like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Rehabilitation Act, the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MPHAEA), and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) should be implemented. The agencies also issue additional guidance when questions about compliance arise.

Title: The Importance of Having a Support System - Mental Health First Aid Headings: Content: The Importance of Having a Support System - Mental Health First Aid By Mental Health First Aid USA on August 6, 2020 Recovery is a personal journey with the goals of hope, empowerment and autonomy. And for many people with mental health challenges, recovery is often possible. Many factors contribute to recovery, including having a good support system of people that you like, respect and trust. They can be family members, friends, teachers, faith leaders, neighbors or peers — what’s important is that you have people you feel comfortable talking to about what you’re experiencing and support you may need. Research has shown that having a social support system can have a positive impact on your overall mental health, especially for women, older adults, patients, workers and students. On a scale of 1 to 10 where 10 was “a great deal of stress” and one is “little or no stress,” a 2015 survey found that the average stress level for people with emotional support in place was 5 out of 10 compared to 6.3 out of 10 for people without emotional support. Having a few people you trust and can turn to can help you manage everyday challenges, make difficult decisions, or even during a crisis situation. It can also combat social isolation and loneliness, both of which can put you at higher risk for physical and mental health issues including high blood pressure, a weakened immune system, anxiety, depression and more. If you don’t have this right now, that’s okay. Use these tips from the American Psychological Association to help build and strengthen your support network:

Title: Cognitive Theory and Associated Therapies Headings: Cognitive Theory and Associated Therapies Cognitive Theory and Associated Therapies Cognitive Theory: Content: He believed peoples' intense suffering from negative emotions was caused by their irrational core beliefs. Core beliefs refer to the basic beliefs people have about themselves and the world around them. For instance, in the previous example my thought "I'll probably fail this test" may stem from a core belief "I must always achieve complete success or else I am a complete failure." Irrational core beliefs cause the negative emotions that lead to dysfunctional behaviors. Albert Ellis focused on irrational core beliefs by identifying beliefs for which there was no evidence. Thus, they are irrational. According to REBT, teaching therapy participants to think in a more rational, balanced manner eliminates the extreme emotions that result from these irrational beliefs. In so doing, this rational thinking eliminates dysfunctional behavior. Ellis identified common, irrational, core beliefs such as: 1) I must do well and win the approval of others or else I am no good.

Title: Adaptive Behavior (Life Skills) Headings: Adaptive Behavior (Life Skills) Adaptive Behavior (Life Skills) Life Skills Adaptive Functioning Standardized Testing Content: Standardized Testing Problems in adaptive functioning are identified by using standardized tests. These tests compare an individual's score with the average score for the general population. Problems are indicated when a person's score is below the score of 97.5% of the population. However, some people may score above these levels and still meet the criteria for an intellectual disability. In 2010, the Social Security Administration proposed changes to way intellectual disabilities would be defined and assessed. There is now a greater emphasis on adaptive functioning. These changes affect eligibility for social security disability benefits. The assessment of adaptive functioning is very important. This is because it identifies the supports needed to help someone optimize their functioning. Supportive rehabilitation is included at the end of this article.

Stress and Bipolar Disorder Chronic and/or severe stress can also negatively affect people with Bipolar Disorder. This illness, also known as manic depression or bipolar affective disorder, involves dramatic shifts in mood, energy level, and behavior from the highs of mania (one pole) to the lows of major depression (the opposite pole). Mania is characterized by a euphoric (joyful, energetic) mood, hyper-activity, a positive, expansive outlook on life, an inflated sense of self-esteem, and a sense that most anything is possible. When in a manic state, individuals with bipolar disorder tend to experience a decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts, rapid speech (wherein the words won't come out fast enough to keep up with their racing thoughts) and heightened distractibility.

Title: Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) Headings: Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) View of the Human Mind Psychological Dysfunction Mental Wellness REBT Therapy Further Reading Content: Psychological Dysfunction In REBT thought, irrational beliefs are the cause of human neuroses, including depression and anxiety. Irrational beliefs tend to ignore the positive, exaggerate the negative, distort reality, and/or overgeneralize. REBT teaches that people tend to overuse “shoulds,” “musts,” and “oughts” (see cognitive_distortion). Many of these self-defeating beliefs are indoctrinated in early life and grow stronger as a person continually revisits them. As mentioned previously, according to the A-B-C theory of personality, the belief, not the activating event, causes the emotional consequence. When the belief is irrational, the emotion is not healthy. The consequences of irrational beliefs can be relatively mild (procrastination, for example) but can also be extremely disruptive, immobilizing, or even dangerous. Irrational beliefs will often be obvious in how people talk to themselves. Asking the question, "What are you telling yourself about . . . ?" will usually reveal "shoulds," "musts," and so forth—but not always.

Irrational beliefs probably exist as extreme, automatic attitudes or extreme, evaluative, psychological schemas about which people are not too clearly aware which generate the absolute language, the "must." It is possible, for example, to say them out loud, but not really be aware of what one is saying. Part of the difficulty in changing the irrational beliefs is becoming aware that they are present. Mental Wellness As would be expected, REBT argues that mental wellness results from a surfeit of rational beliefs and an absence of self-defeating beliefs. When a stressful activating event occurs and the operating belief is a rational one, then the resulting emotional consequence is not unhealthy or immobilizing.

They consider themselves valuable just as a result of being alive; in fact, they relish life and they have the capacity to continually enjoy themselves.

Title: Should Psychologists Be Allowed to Prescribe Medication? - Mental Health Policy And Advocacy Resource Center Headings: Should Psychologists Be Allowed to Prescribe Medication? Should Psychologists Be Allowed to Prescribe Medication? Source: Keep Reading By Author Carrie Steckl, Ph.D. Read In Order Of Posting Content: Psychologists and psychiatrists exist for different, equally important reasons. They complement each other in their varying approaches to psychiatric phenomena, resulting in a more balanced treatment plan. I understand that my home state is in a predicament, and I sure don’t want people’s mental health needs to go unmet. But is this really the road we want to travel? If psychologists are allowed to prescribe drugs, what group will lobby for this privilege next? Perhaps there are other solutions to this problem. For instance, why are psychiatrists so scarce in Illinois? Could incentives be offered to recruit more to our state? Could family physicians and internists – who already know how to prescribe drugs – receive additional training in psychiatry? Could psychiatric nurses be recruited to monitor clients on psychotropic drugs in order to lighten the workload of psychiatrists?

Title: Lifestyle Factors and Environmental Causes of Major Depression Headings: Lifestyle Factors and Environmental Causes of Major Depression Lifestyle Factors and Environmental Causes of Major Depression Additional Factors Environmental Causes Content: Electrical pollution is caused by the radio waves generated by the electrical equipment we use in our modern world. Electrical pollution is invisible, silent, odorless, and tasteless. Some United States military researchers have found that particular radio wavelengths can promote depression and rage. Larger, more controlled studies are necessary to determine the exact relationship between mood and radio waves. Natural disasters such as destructive hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes, as well as man-made catastrophic and traumatic events such as September 11, 2001 can contribute to an already vulnerable person's susceptibility to depression. In addition, a person with very little innate propensity to become depressed can also develop symptoms after they encounter a significant and traumatic environmental trigger such as the annihilation of their home by a hurricane. Our level of exposure to some of these environmental factors is partially under our control. For example, if water quality is bad in your area, you may be able to use an inexpensive water filter. Similarly, if you believe that your health is being affected by chemical or electrical sensitivity, you may be able to take steps to avoid these substances.

Title: Values and Morals Clarification: Value Changes Headings: Values and Morals Clarification: Value Changes Values and Morals Clarification: Value Changes Content: Values that suited you as a child change as you become a young adult, form relationships and make your way in the world. What makes sense to you as a single person no longer makes sense when you are married, or have children. What makes sense to you as a parent no longer makes sense to you when you retire. Many themes remain the same across the years, to be sure, but not all of them do. Humanist psychologists propose that people have an innate sense of values and personal preferences that tends to get buried under layers of social demands and expectations (social morals). Part of the human journey involves the gradual rediscovery of these innate and highly personal desires, which get unconsciously hidden away when they are seen to conflict with society's demands. You may have a desire to do artwork, but you become a banker instead simply because this pleases your perfectionist and worried parents. You may have homosexual inclinations, but get married (to an opposite sex spouse) and have children, simply because to do otherwise in your family and community would be unheard of and shameful. There are other reasons why you might be out of touch with your values. Sometimes people don't have the attention to wonder what their values are because they are too busy trying to survive.

It is a good idea to become more conscious of your true current values, because your true current values are your best guide to how to live a better life. You can accomplish this values consciousness by completing a values and morals inventory which will help you to examine what it is that you want for you, and compare those desires to the moral desires that society (or higher principles) have for you. Most well socialized people will find that there is a whole lot of correspondence between what you want and what society wants. If you are honest, however, you'll sometimes find that there are areas and aspects of your life where society wants one thing from you and you want something different.

Title: Suicide Triggers Headings: Suicide Triggers Suicide Triggers Content: Suicide Triggers Suicide Suicide Triggers Suicide Triggers In overly simplistic terms, suicidal thoughts and behaviors start when vulnerable individuals encounter stressful events, become overwhelmed, and conclude that suicide is the only reasonable way (given their very likely biased way of thinking) to stop the pain they are experiencing. Determining what makes events stressful is difficult because of the highly individual nature of human coping abilities and perspectives. What may seem relatively trivial to one person may seem devastating or insurmountable to another. Both negative and positive events can be sources of significant stress. Examples of events that cause positive stress include marriage, moving (when it is a desired move), having a child, and changing jobs (when that is desired). Examples of negatively stressful events include losses related to health, significant relationships and jobs, debts, peer pressure to be thin and beautiful, and similar difficult situations. Some suicidal individuals never quite developed the skills necessary to successfully cope with stressful situations and have personalities that are vulnerable to becoming overwhelmed by negative circumstance. Other suicidal individuals may have reasonable coping skills in place at one point, but find themselves worn down by circumstance to the point where they can no longer manage. The most frequent stressful event leading up to suicide (what is often called a precipitating event) in the US today is mental illness, which is estimated to account for about 90 percent of all suicides. As we discussed earlier, a newly diagnosed and/or poorly treated mental illness can trigger a suicide in some cases.

In addition, a change in someone's existing mental illness (for the worse or better) can function as a precipitating event for suicide. Most people incorrectly assume that only deteriorating conditions should be monitored. However, as was previously discussed, people who have been severely depressed and are now starting to regain their energy may suddenly find themselves with enough energy to carry out suicide plans. Depression is the most common mental illness in people who commit suicide, so we will briefly detour from the topic of suicide to discuss this common disorder, which is discussed in significant detail in our Depression topic center. According to the DSM-IV-TR (the latest version of the manual used by clinicians to diagnose mental disorders) you must meet the following criteria in order to qualify for a diagnosis of Major Depression:

Take care of yourself Content: They describe resilience as the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or significant sources of stress such as family and relationship problems, serious health problems or workplace or financial stressors. It means, “bouncing back” from difficult experiences. Research has shown that resilience is ordinary, not extraordinary and that people commonly demonstrate resilience. Being resilient does not mean that a person doesn’t experience difficulty or distress. Emotional pain and sadness are common in people who have suffered major adversity or trauma in their lives. In fact, the road to resilience is likely to involve considerable emotional distress. Resilience is not a trait that people either have or do not have. It involves behaviours, thoughts and actions that can be learned and developed in anyone. This certainly reinforces my understanding of resilience as it sits within the Mental Toughness framework. They then continue to provide ten great ways to build resilience:

Take decisive actions Act on adverse situations as much as you can. Take decisive actions, rather than detaching completely from problems and stresses and wishing they would just go away. 6. Look for opportunities for self-discovery People often learn something about themselves and may find that they have grown in some respect as a result of their struggle with loss. Many people who have experienced tragedies and hardship have reported better relationships, greater sense of strength even while feeling vulnerable, increased sense of self-worth, a more developed spirituality and heightened appreciation for life. 7. Nurture a positive view of yourself Developing confidence in your ability to solve problems and trusting your instincts helps build resilience. 8.

Why it matters: The United States imports roughly half a trillion dollars in goods from China, including clothing, shoes, electronics, furniture, and household appliances. Those imports help improve the lives of many Americans, particularly those in low-income households who benefit from lower prices on everyday goods. Two more key ways we benefit from trade with China China’s growing middle class represents a vibrant market for America’s exports, and US-owned affiliate companies in China sell hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of goods and services each year. China’s ownership of $1 trillion in US Treasury bills keeps interest rates low, which translates to meaningful reductions in mortgage payments for US homeowners and tens of billions of dollars in savings for the federal government.

Title: The Benefits of Free Trade: Addressing Key Myths | Mercatus Center Headings: The Benefits of Free Trade: Addressing Key Myths The Benefits of Free Trade: Addressing Key Myths The Truths of Free Trade Myth vs. Reality Content: These benefits increase as overall trade—exports and imports—increases. Free trade increases access to higher-quality, lower-priced goods. Cheaper imports, particularly from countries such as China and Mexico, have eased inflationary pressure in the United States. Prices are held down by more than 2 percent for every 1 percent share in the market by imports from low-income countries like China, which leaves more income for Americans to spend on other products. Free trade means more growth. At least half of US imports are not consumer goods; they are inputs for US-based producers, according to economists from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Freeing trade reduces imported-input costs, thus reducing businesses’ production costs and promoting economic growth. Free trade improves efficiency and innovation. Over time, free trade works with other market processes to shift workers and resources to more productive uses, allowing more efficient industries to thrive.

Myth vs. Reality 1. Myth: More exports mean more wealth. Reality: It is the total level of trade—exports and imports—that most accurately reflects American prosperity. Prosperity is defined by the breadth and variety of what Americans are able to consume. More exports increase wealth only because they allow Americans to buy more imports and give non-Americans greater incentives to invest in America, helping the US economy grow. Restricting imports leaves Americans worse off.

For example, imported cheap sneakers can face a tariff as high as 60 percent, while men’s leather dress shoes are subject to an 8.5 percent tariff. Similarly, plain drinking glasses face a tariff of nearly 30 percent, while expensive crystal glasses are taxed at 3 percent. 2.

Reality: US trade deficits generally are good for Americans. The trade deficit is not debt. A growing trade deficit, despite its misleading name, is good for the economy. It is typically a signal that global investors are confident in America’s economic future. The US trade deficit might be larger than it would otherwise be if a trading partner chooses to keep the price of its currency artificially low, but this practice harms the trading partner, not the United States. America’s trade deficit increases whenever non-Americans choose to increase the amount they invest in the United States. Dollars that leave the United States as part of the trade deficit must come back as a “capital account surplus”—that is, the net investment funds flowing into the United States. More investment means expansion of existing businesses, more new businesses, higher worker productivity, and more output-enhancing activities, such as research and development, all of which increase prosperity.

So-called “currency manipulation” by a trading partner does not harm the American economy. For example, a lower price of the yuan makes Chinese goods cheaper for American consumers, conferring a real benefit on the United States. Keeping the price of the yuan lower through monetary policy, however, does not lower the real costs of the resources and outputs exported by the Chinese people, who also face higher prices for American imports. An undervalued yuan—assuming this undervaluation to be real rather than fanciful—benefits Americans at the expense of the Chinese. 5.

Title: The Benefits of Immigration: Addressing Key Myths | Mercatus Center Headings: The Benefits of Immigration: Addressing Key Myths The Benefits of Immigration: Addressing Key Myths Facts about Immigration Five Myths and Realities of Immigration Content: Contrary to what some of our leaders and pundits tell us, immigrants strengthen the US economy by filling key jobs in important industries, starting businesses, filing patents, creating new products, and keeping America demographically younger. A large majority of immigrants embrace America’s culture of freedom and opportunity. Immigration is both a sign and a source of American dynamism. US immigration policy should move toward welcoming more hard-working immigrants to build a stronger US economy. Facts about Immigration Immigrants come to the United States because of the freedom and opportunity it offers. They come to work and build a better life for themselves and their families. Immigrants fill niches in the labor market, typically at the higher and lower ends of the skill spectrum, where the supply of native-born workers tends to fall short of demand by US employers. Without immigrants our economy would be less productive and dynamic. Immigrants boost America’s economic growth and raise the general productivity of American workers by providing much-needed skills. Immigrant workers allow important sectors of the economy to expand, attracting investment and creating employment opportunities for native-born Americans.

Title: The Benefits of Immigration: Addressing Key Myths | Mercatus Center Headings: The Benefits of Immigration: Addressing Key Myths The Benefits of Immigration: Addressing Key Myths Facts about Immigration Five Myths and Realities of Immigration Content: Myth: Immigrants depress wages and take jobs from Americans. Reality: There is no evidence that immigrants cause higher unemployment among Americans or depress average wages. Immigrants typically complement American workers rather than compete directly with them for jobs. As immigrants supply labor, they also increase demand for housing and other goods and services, creating employment opportunities for native-born workers. This is why, over time, there is no correlation between immigration and the general unemployment rate. In fact, the number of jobs and the size of the workforce tend to grow together. For those same reasons, empirical studies have found that immigration has only a small and generally positive impact on average wages. A study cited in the 2017 National Academy of Sciences report on the economic consequences of immigration found that the only native demographic group negatively impacted is adults without a high school diploma.

Also of Interest Merck and the Merck Manuals Content: Pain in the ball of the foot may be caused by longstanding irritation of the nerves. The irritation often causes the nerves to enlarge and noncancerous (benign) growths of nerve tissue (neuromas) to form, usually between the base of the third and fourth toes (Morton neuroma). However, these growths may occur between any of the toes. Neuromas usually develop in only one foot and are more common among women. Many factors contribute to nerve irritation, particularly nonsupportive or poorly fitting shoes. Other factors include thinning of the fat around the nerves, poor foot posture, or abnormal foot structure that stretches the nerves. Symptoms of Damage to the Nerves in the Foot In the early stages, a neuroma may cause only a mild ache around the third or fourth toe, occasionally accompanied by a burning or tingling sensation in the toes, particularly as the disorder progresses. These symptoms are generally more pronounced when a person wears certain types of shoes, especially those that are too narrow for the front part of the foot, including those that are pointed. As the condition progresses, a constant burning sensation may radiate to the tips of the toes, regardless of what shoes are worn. In time, most people are unable to wear most closed-toe shoes.

Low protein levels in the blood can lead to fluid retention and tissue swelling (edema). Malabsorption of vitamin B12 can lead to nerve damage, causing a pins-and-needles sensation in the arms and legs. Poor calcium absorption results in abnormal bone growth, a higher risk of broken bones, and painful bones and joints. Lack of calcium can also cause tooth discoloration and greater susceptibility to painful tooth decay. Girls with celiac disease may not have menstrual periods because of a low production of hormones, such as estrogen. Diagnosis of Celiac Disease Levels of antibodies Biopsy Tests for certain vitamin deficiencies Doctors suspect the diagnosis of celiac disease when a person has the previously mentioned symptoms. Measurement of the level of specific antibodies produced when a person with celiac disease consumes gluten is a helpful test. To help confirm the diagnosis of celiac disease, doctors remove a sample of tissue from the person's lining of the small intestine and examine it under a microscope (biopsy). The diagnosis is confirmed if the biopsy shows the intestinal villi are flattened and if the lining of the small intestine subsequently improves after the person stops eating foods containing gluten.

Also of Interest Merck and the Merck Manuals Content: In toddlers, abdominal injury is also common. Infants and toddlers are the most vulnerable because the developmental stages that they may go through (eg, colic, inconsistent sleep patterns, temper tantrums, toilet training) may frustrate caregivers. This age group is also at increased risk because they cannot report their abuse. The risk declines in the early school years. Sexual abuse Any action with a child that is done for the sexual gratification of an adult or significantly older child constitutes sexual abuse (see Pedophilic Disorder ). Forms of sexual abuse include intercourse, which is oral, anal, or vaginal penetration; molestation, which is genital contact without intercourse; and forms that do not involve physical contact by the perpetrator, including exposure of the perpetrator's genitals, showing sexually explicit material to a child, and forcing a child to participate in a sex act with another child or to participate in the production of sexual material. Sexual abuse does not include sexual play, in which children close in age view or touch each other’s genital area without force or coercion. The guidelines that differentiate sexual abuse from play vary from state to state, but in general sexual contact between individuals with a > 4 year (chronologically, or in mental or physical development) age difference is considered to be inappropriate.

Also of Interest Merck and the Merck Veterinary Manual Content: Dental Development of Dogs - Dog Owners - Merck Veterinary Manual Dental Development of Dogs By Sofie Muylle , DVM, PhD, Department of Morphology, Ghent University Last full review/revision May 2018 | Content last modified May 2018 Each species of animal has its own unique type of teeth, depending on what type of food the animal normally eats. For example, a meat-eating animal, such as a cat, has quite different teeth than a grass-eating animal, such as a horse. However, all domestic animals have 2 sets of teeth during their lives, as humans do: a set of deciduous (“baby”) teeth that fall out, and a set of permanent teeth that develop later. Most dogs have 28 deciduous teeth and 42 permanent teeth. The deciduous teeth begin to erupt at 3 to 5 weeks of age, while permanent teeth usually begin to appear at around 4 to 5 months. All permanent teeth are present by the time the dog reaches 7 months of age (See table: Canine Adult Dentition ). Estimation of Age by Examination of the Teeth In species with relatively short incisors, such as dogs, age determination of young animals using the teeth is only somewhat accurate and is mostly based on the time at which each tooth erupts. For the majority of large adult dogs with normal teeth and jaws, veterinarians can examine wear patterns on the teeth and give an estimate of age.

Content: Intranasal vaccination of sows and neonatal piglets 1–7 days old, followed by IM vaccination of all other swine on the premises, helps reduce viral shedding and improve survival. The modified-live virus replicates at the site of injection and in regional lymph nodes. Vaccine virus is shed in such low levels that mucous transmission to other animals is minimal. In gene-deleted vaccines, the thymidine kinase gene has also been deleted; thus, the virus cannot infect and replicate in neurons. It is recommended that breeding herds be vaccinated quarterly and that finisher pigs be vaccinated after levels of maternal antibody decrease. Regular vaccination results in excellent control of the disease. Concurrent antibiotic therapy via feed and IM injection is recommended to control secondary bacterial pathogens. Numerous programs have been developed for eradication of pseudorabies virus. As of 2014, all 50 states in the USA are considered free of the disease in commercial pigs;

Chemoprophylaxis usually includes administration of antibacterial drugs to all sows, particularly before farrowing, as well as programs of repeated medications for newborn piglets and sometimes for newly weaned pigs. Medication of weaner and grower rations, and sometimes sow rations, is often helpful. Drugs commonly used are ceftiofur, sulfonamides, tylosin, and tetracyclines. Bacterins against toxigenic P multocida and B bronchiseptica have been developed. Both toxoid vaccines and bacterin-toxoid mixtures are available against P multocida; although both give satisfactory results in most herds, infection can be best prevented with bacterin-toxoid mixtures. Typically, sows are vaccinated 4 and 2 wk before farrowing, and the young pigs at 1 and 4 wk of age. However, vaccination schedules recommended by the manufacturer should be followed.

March 05, 2019 ← Introduction | Chapter 2 → Ebola still exists in Africa, years after the last heavily publicized epidemic impacted the world from 2014 to 2016. Scientists cannot pinpoint exactly where an Ebola outbreak begins, but they know that Ebola is transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids. Ebola can spread quickly if community members and healthcare workers do not take preventive measures. However, Ebola is still considered a rare disease, and there are many ways to protect yourself against the virus in the event of an outbreak or as a traveler to a country affected by Ebola. In this section, we will provide an overview of the Ebola virus, how it affects the body and how the virus is transmitted. We’ll also explore ways to protect oneself against the virus.

In this section, we will provide an overview of the Ebola virus, how it affects the body and how the virus is transmitted. We’ll also explore ways to protect oneself against the virus. It is possible to control Ebola — first by understanding how the virus works. What exactly is Ebola? The Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) is a rare and lethal disease caused by a virus, and mostly affects people and nonhuman primates. It is also known as hemorrhagic fever because the virus causes issues with how blood clots and might lead to internal bleeding. Ebola also causes tissue damage and inflammation.

Content: Factors such as quality medical care and quick intervention greatly affect a person's chance of survival. What causes an Ebola outbreak to start? Scientists believe an Ebola outbreak begins when a human comes into contact with an infected animal. This might be an infected fruit bat or a non-human primate. Even though animals are thought to start Ebola outbreaks, scientists are still not sure exactly how the virus is transmitted by an animal. They suspect the disease spreads from animal to person by eating something that had contacted infected bodily fluid from an animal, or by getting blood in the eyes from butchering an infected animal for meat. In a review published in 2015, during the largest Ebola outbreak in Africa, researchers evaluated the connection between Ebola virus transmission and food. They found that there is a far greater relationship between food and Ebola than they had expected. Meat from wildlife such as rodents, bats, shrews and nonhuman primates have been found to be infected with the Ebola virus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have noted that eating and handling infected meat has led to transmission.

Once a person becomes infected with the Ebola virus, they can spread the virus to another person through direct contact with bodily fluids. The infected bodily fluid needs to enter a person's body to take effect and may enter through broken skin or the eyes, nose or mouth. A person might get Ebola if they come into contact with any of the following: Blood or bodily fluid such as urine, saliva or sweat from a person who is infected with EVD or who has died from EVD Objects such as needles that are contaminated with infected bodily fluid Infected fruit bats or nonhuman primates Semen from a person who recovered from EVD Want to stay connected to our work around the world?

There are several ways to prevent getting infected during an Ebola outbreak. First, it's worth noting that although Ebola is contagious, it cannot spread to others when a person does not show symptoms. Also, there is no evidence that the virus can spread through water or air, and Ebola is not usually spread through food. Currently, there is no evidence that Ebola can be spread through insects. Ebola can only spread through direct contact with infected bodily fluids and is not as easy to catch as the flu or the common cold. If you live in or plan to travel to a country where Ebola has been found, you can take steps to protect yourself from the disease by: Washing your hands often Avoiding contact with bodily fluids Avoiding contact with individuals who appear ill or who have a fever Avoiding objects that have come in contact with an infected individual such as bedding, clothing or medical equipment Not handling someone who has died from Ebola Avoiding contact with bats and nonhuman primates, and raw meat from these animals Avoiding seeking medical care at hospitals where patients are being treated for Ebola Paying attention to your health for 21 days after returning from a country where Ebola has been found Seeking medical attention immediately if you experience any Ebola symptoms Healthcare workers are especially vulnerable to Ebola.

The vaccine has been engineered to contain a protein from the Zaire strain and to elicit an immune response to the virus. The vaccine was used during the Ebola epidemic in 2015 and was given to more than 16,000 volunteers. Even though the vaccine was shown to be safe and prevents infection, more research is needed before it can become licensed. It is only used to protect individuals who are at high risk of contracting the disease, such as close family members of Ebola patients or frontline healthcare workers.

As a result of the Ebola epidemic in 2014, household incomes went down and poverty grew in the countries hit hardest by the virus. According to the World Bank's updated 2016 report, the overall impact of the Ebola epidemic on Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone was estimated at $2.8 billion. Ebola impacts the economy in several different ways. 1.

Was this answer helpful? 9 View Full Answer Akshita Viswan, added an answer, on 11/5/12 Akshita Viswan answered this The small intestine has three parts: the duodenum, the jejunum and the ileum. The duodenum is the first portion of the small intestine, and it receives the contents of the stomach. When the contents of the stomach are pushed into the small intestine, they are very acidic, so this part of the small intestine is tolerant to low pHs. Soon after entering the small intestine, the pancreatic duct pours pancreatic enzymes into the digesting food. These enzymes reduce the acidity of the digesting food before it reaches parts of the small intestine that are not as tolerant to low pH. The bile duct, which carries bile from the liver, also empties into the duodenum and is responsible for breaking down fats within the food.

The bile duct, which carries bile from the liver, also empties into the duodenum and is responsible for breaking down fats within the food. The duodenum is the shortest part of the small intestine, measuring less than 10 inches long, and continues the digestive process that the stomach has started. The jejunum is where the majority of the absorption of nutrients takes place. The ileum is the longest part of the small intestine and is responsible for the absorption of B12 and the final processing of carbohydrates and proteins. The end of the ileum is where the small and large intestine meet and it's also where the appendix is located. Was this answer helpful?
