ACTIVE TEENS BUILD STRONG BONES FOR LIFE
Tweens and teens who run, jump and dance may become adults with less breakable bones
Sharon Oosthoek - May 8, 2017
As much as a third of an adult’s skeleton will form during adolescence. So the more active someone
is during this time, the stronger those bones will become.
Adolescence is a critical time for growing strong bones. That's especially true between the ages of
10 and 14 in girls, and 12 to 16 for boys. As much as 36 percent of the adult skeleton forms during these four
years. But how strong those bones become depends on how active someone had been during those
formative years. That’s the finding of a new study.
"The bigger the bones children make when they are young, the harder it will be to break when they
get older," explains Laura Tosi. She’s a doctor who was not involved in the new work. But she knows the
topic well. Tosi directs the Bone Health Program at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C.

THE "13 REASONS WHY" ACTORS HAD THERAPY DOGS TO HELP WITH EMOTIONAL SCENES By Hannah Orenstein - Apr 17, 2017
“13 Reasons Why” doesn't shy away from tackling heavy issues like bullying, rape, and suicide. But bringing such dark stories to life can take a toll on actors, which is why the cast had access to cute, cuddly therapy dogs while filming the show.
"They had therapy dogs on set," Dylan Minnette, who played Clay, told PopSugar. "There was a puppy per hour. They really tried to help out. The puppies helped." According to the Alliance of Therapy Dogs, the pups are "on a mission of sharing smiles and joy."
Dylan also acknowledged that Katherine Langford, who played Hannah, had the most intense experience of them all. "She had the brunt of the emotional stuff," he continued. "I mean, we all have very emotional parts, but this is about her character." In the same interview, Katherine acknowledged the intensity of her character's role and explained why it was so important to bring these tough scenes to life.
"We always read a new script at a table read, and once we hit episode nine, there was silence," she said. "That's when we realized what we were doing was important. That's the moment that's kind of ingrained in my head as, 'This is really important.' We cover so many intense issues. I feel like so much of Hannah's life, especially the last five episodes, is so tragic that you just have to put that shock aside and get through it. It's only been after the show and after wrapping that I've gone, wow, we really did handle some really heavy stuff. I'm really proud of how we handle it, because as you said we don't shy away from them."

Brazil despite its economic success remains one
of the inequality champions
August 22nd, 2012
The ‘favelas’ or shanty towns that surround
most Brazilian cities
Brazil might be the leading economy in Latin America
and has had a significant performance in reducing poverty in
recent years, but it still remains among the countries with the
highest inequality in the region together with Guatemala,
Honduras and Colombia, points out the UN-Habitat report.
In all four countries based on 2009 data, the Gini income per
capita distribution index stood at 0.56, to which must be added
Dominican Republic and Bolivia, two inequality champions with
high concentration of wealth. This compares with the US and
Portugal Gini indicator of 0.38, two countries that offer no relief
since Portugal, for example, has the highest inequality index of
the European Union.
Nevertheless, Brazil advanced compared to 1990 when
it had the highest degree of inequality and stood well ahead
from the rest of the continent. But the region continues to have
the highest inequality rate in spite of advances in helping
income distribution. Among some of the causes for distribution
improvement are productivity, upward trend of salaries and
workers categories, strong economy and implementation of
income transfer programs in several countries, particularly in
the two leading economies, Brazil and Mexico. In the case of
Brazil, the country’s economy now figures sixth at global level.
Former president Lula da Silva and one of the most popular
leaders in history of that country based his success precisely on
the Bolsa Família Plan, which distributed a monthly basic food
basket to millions, helping anywhere from 14 to 22 million climb
out of poverty, plus ensuring his Workers Party an encouraging
future.
The Gini coefficient or index measures the inequality among
values of a frequency distribution (for instance, levels of income).
A Gini coefficient of zero expresses perfect equality where all
values are the same (for instance, where everyone has an exactly
equal income). A Gini coefficient of one (100 on the percentile
scale) expresses maximal inequality among values (for instance,
where only one person has all the income).

highest inequality in the region together with Guatemala,
Honduras and Colombia, points out the UN-Habitat report.
In all four countries based on 2009 data, the Gini income per
capita distribution index stood at 0.56, to which must be added
Dominican Republic and Bolivia, two inequality champions with
high concentration of wealth. This compares with the US and
Portugal Gini indicator of 0.38, two countries that offer no relief
since Portugal, for example, has the highest inequality index of
the European Union.
Nevertheless, Brazil advanced compared to 1990 when
it had the highest degree of inequality and stood well ahead
from the rest of the continent. But the region continues to have
the highest inequality rate in spite of advances in helping
income distribution. Among some of the causes for distribution
improvement are productivity, upward trend of salaries and
workers categories, strong economy and implementation of
income transfer programs in several countries, particularly in
the two leading economies, Brazil and Mexico. In the case of
Brazil, the country’s economy now figures sixth at global level.
Former president Lula da Silva and one of the most popular
leaders in history of that country based his success precisely on
the Bolsa Família Plan, which distributed a monthly basic food
basket to millions, helping anywhere from 14 to 22 million climb
out of poverty, plus ensuring his Workers Party an encouraging
future.
The Gini coefficient or index measures the inequality among
values of a frequency distribution (for instance, levels of income).
A Gini coefficient of zero expresses perfect equality where all
values are the same (for instance, where everyone has an exactly
equal income). A Gini coefficient of one (100 on the percentile
scale) expresses maximal inequality among values (for instance,
where only one person has all the income).

Earth on its way to the ICU
There’s no way to deny it anymore. It has been proven through a report
from the UN (United Nations) that, yes, it was man who made the Earth sick. And
even if now the world, diagnosed, decides to reduce the damage that our
presence here causes (which is not very likely) and decides to promote an
extreme change in the economical structures, the Earth, still at that, will have its
fever raised in 1.1◦C this century. Is that bad? But it is still bearable. Now if nothing
is done, the world must prepare for a new class of refugees: the climatic. A heating
of up to 6◦C would be forecasted. To have an idea, the Earth was only 5◦C colder
in the Ice Age, which put an end to the Dinosaur Age. If the “dinos” couldn’t handle
the shock, who’d think the humans would. Humans?
It is most probable, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Changes, that the Earth will be warmed 3◦C, which will cause phenomena such as
thawing, hurricanes, droughts and tempests. The sea level, according to the
report, may rise between 18 and 59 centimeters, making cities below sea level
disappear.
In Brazil, the greatest impact would be on the Northeast, which could
become a semi-desert. The Amazon would suffer due to lack of rain, affecting the
entire rainforest, losing biodiversity. On the other hand, the intensity of the rain
would impact the South-east. To the UN, The world must do the impossible to
stagnate the intensity of the fever, so that the temperature increase does not
exceed 2◦C. The warning has been given.
