The following text refers to the question.
There have been 18 opioid-related deaths in Nova Scotia so far this year
Paramedics in Nova Scotia used naloxone to save 165 people from opioid overdoses in 2018 and 188 people in 2019. In 2020,
102 people were saved as of July 31.
Eight years ago, Matthew Bonn watched his friend turn blue and become deathly quiet as fentanyl flooded his body. Bonn
jumped in, performing rescue breathing until paramedics arrived. That was the first time Bonn fought to keep someone alive during
an overdose.
But it wouldn't be his last. Over the years, he tried more dangerous ways to snap people out of an overdose.
"I remember doing crazy things like throwing people in bathtubs, or, you know, giving them cocaine. As we know now, that
doesn't help," said Bonn, a harm-reduction advocate in Halifax. "But ... in those panic modes, you try to do whatever you can to keep
that person alive."
This was before naloxone – a drug that can reverse an opioid overdose – became widely available to the public. In 2017, the
Nova Scotia government made kits with the drug available for free at pharmacies.
Whether used by community members or emergency crews, naloxone has helped save hundreds of lives in the province.
Matthew Bonn is a program co-ordinator with the Canadian Association of People Who Use Drugs, and a current drug user
himself.
Almost every other day in Nova Scotia, paramedics and medical first responders in the province use the drug to reverse an
opioid overdose, according to Emergency Health Services (EHS).

The relationship of fire with the evolutionary history of vegetation in Brazil
Brazil's biomes and ecosystems differ in their response and vulnerability to fire. Ecosystems characterized by the dominance of grasses – grasslands and savannas – coevolved with fire, and their plants and animals show several adaptations and synergies with fire; therefore, they are considered as fire-dependent from an ecological perspective. The opposite is true for the country's tropical forests that are not fire-adapted and do not easily burn, unless when suffering extreme drought or degradation that can make them more vulnerable to fire. When these forests do burn, fire can cause severe negative effects on their biodiversity, and thus they are considered as fire-sensitive. Natural fire regimes have been modified by human activities – usually related to land use practices or due to climate extremes linked to global warming and to climate change – and often towards higher frequency and extent, as well as altered seasons. Such altered fire regimes usually bring negative effects, not only on biodiversity but also on ecosystem processes and services for human populations. However, in the case of most protected areas, fire has been banished even though the ecosystem is firedependent, what will also lead to important ecological changes and often to a rather rapid loss of their natural characteristics. The trade-offs among the distinct effects of fire on the environment, from biodiversity to ecosystem services, must be considered in all discussions about the fire issue.
Since colonial times a “Zero Fire” policy prevailed in Brazil, even in fire-dependent ecosystems. Only from the 1970's on, other perspectives on fire have slowly developed, as fire became a subject of scientific studies. By then, negative effects of fire exclusion in fire-dependent ecosystems, such as loss of biodiversity and fuel buildup that would lead to catastrophic fires, have been documented. From 2008 on, an Integrated Fire Management Strategy (IFM) was developed and has been increasingly applied in federal protected areas. Besides controlling fuel and decreasing the risk of wildfire, this strategy allows for the integration of traditional fire management practices of local people or at least sets a framework to find joint solutions in the case of conflicts. Despite successes, IFM is yet not widely implemented across the country, and remains restricted to a relatively small number of protected areas, mainly in the firedependent Cerrado. For private land, no general fire management strategy exists. Fires are used for different purposes: in the context of land clearing for future agricultural use (deforestation fires), to manage agricultural or grazing systems, or as part of slash-and-burn systems (swidden cultivation) often practiced by subsistence farmers. While fire may be legally used for agricultural purposes (requiring authorization), a great part of the current fires is illegal, especially when associated with deforestation and suppression of native vegetation. In some cases, policy has been able to reduce the use of fire when alternatives exist, e.g., in sugarcane plantations in the southeastern region. In other types of land management, however, fire remains a cheap and, at the moment, often the only feasible alternative for smallholders exist, but support is needed for their implementation and to allow market access to local producers who change their land management. A clear general strategy to deal with fire on private land – allowing its controlled use when it is overall beneficial, and avoiding it where negative effects overwhelm – still needs to be developed.

The pandemic and the remote learning that followed highlighted what educators have known for a long time: that learning is a highly individualized endeavor, and everyone learns in different ways and at different speeds. At a time when many parents and educators are concerned about students falling behind due to covid-related illness or school closures, the stakes for keeping kids on track couldn’t be higher.
Even before the pandemic, schools’ reliance on one-sizefits-all learning activities and assessments had calamitous results for students. Students who are continuously behind their peers in reading level become defeated and lose interest in learning – a pattern that continues into their adult life. With 85% of all curriculum based on text(books, handouts, assessments), providing students with an equitable education also means providing an equitable experience with literacy and reading comprehension. The good news is that there is a solution: personalized digital text. This can make a huge difference for students who are struggling readers, both in terms of academic achievement and with the confidence gained by becoming a successful reader. And it turns out that these features benefit all students, not just struggling readers. Even students who are already successful can become more efficient and literate readers.
Tech companies like Adobe are already developing solutions to literacy inequities. Apps like Acrobat Reader have integrated “Liquid Mode”, where users can customize the size, character and line spacing of digital texts in PDF documents. The ability of textbook companies, websites and digital book publishers to adopt similar features and standards provides opportunities for learners of all levels to reach their true potential. The problem with literacy may not be the reader, but the reading material.

Effect of Protective Clothing and Fatigue on Firefighters’ Functional Balance
Every year, more than 38,000 firefighters are injured on the fireground. Among causes of moderate or severe injuries of firefighters, slips, trips, and falls are the most significant cause (28%) of firefighting injuries, followed by overexertion (23%), struck by objects (17%), exposure to detrimental environment (15%), and others (17%). Firefighters regularly work in hot, smoky, and slippery fireground conditions with many obstacles and to provide protection under these circumstances, they wear fully encapsulating “bunker gear style” personal protective equipment (PPE), which includes bunker coat, bunker pants, boots, helmet, face mask, gloves, and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). The primary design requirements for firefighting PPE are to provide protection from the by-products of combustion, but current designs and typical materials have significant negative impacts on balance, mobility, thermoregulation etc. Furthermore, during emergency operations, firefighters may become fatigued by the strenuous firefighting activity and heat stress, which can further impair balance control.
In spite of the obvious benefits of PPE in protecting firefighters from heat, smoke and fire, the use of PPE may negatively affect firefighters’ functional balance. Functional balance is defined as the ability to prevent a loss of balance and maintain body posture while performing functional tasks. Wearing PPE may impair the functional balance of firefighters due to its heavy weight, bulkiness of the material, and a SCBA face mask, which limits vision. Wearing PPE also changes the firefighter’s center of gravity, increases fatigue, and imposes physiological burdens, e.g., increased oxygen consumption and heart rate. The heavy, insulative aspect of PPE also contributes to increased metabolic work done by the firefighter, resulting in increased heat stress that might negatively impact functional balance. During firefighting activity, heat stress and the resulting elevation in body temperature hastens muscular fatigue, promotes dehydration, increases cardiovascular strain, and interferes with cognitive function. While relatively few studies have investigated the effects of firefighting PPE on functional balance, no studies have been found related to the effects of fatigue due to firefighting activity on the functional balance of firefighters.

Basic Combat Training (BCT) in the US Army
Soldiers in the United States (US) Army are volunteers. The Army trains recruits at basic training units. The main basic training unit is Fort Jackson in South Carolina.
Basic training is nine weeks. The instructors are non-commissioned officers (NCOs). They teach basic military skills, including drill and weapon training.
Recruits in basic training live and sleep in barracks.
They wear a military uniform. They don’t go home during basic training and they don’t see their family before graduation.

'Singing' goat causes giggling fits at Worcester Cathedral
service
A goat stole the show during a cathedral's animal blessing
service by "singing" along to the organ music.
Two-year-old Pablo's "bah-rilliant" performance at Worcester
Cathedral's annual event has made him a social media star.
His vocals led to fits of giggles by staff from Atwell Farm Park
near Redditch and cathedral choir members.
"I think when he was bleating it was all echoing back at him. He
was having a lovely time," farm staff said.
The video of Pablo and his alpaca friends Minstrel and Barnaby
was shared by the cathedral on TikTok has since had 1.6m
views and 240,000 likes.
The service was filmed by the BBC's Songs of Praise
programme, but it is not clear whether Pablo's exploits will
make the final edit.

Why do we have blood types?
In 1996 a naturopath named Peter D’Adamo published a book called Eat Right 4 Your Type. D’Adamo argued that we must
eat according to our blood type, in order to harmonise with our evolutionary heritage. Blood types, he claimed, “appear to have arrived
at critical junctures of human development.” According to D’Adamo, type O blood arose in our hunter-gatherer ancestors in Africa,
type A at the dawn of agriculture, and type B developed between 10,000 and 15,000 years ago in the Himalayan highlands. Type AB,
he argued, is a modern blending of A and B.
From these suppositions, D’Adamo then claimed that our blood type determines what food we should eat. With my agriculture-based type A blood, for example, I should be a vegetarian. People with the ancient hunter type O should have a meat-rich diet and
avoid grains and dairy. According to the book, foods that are not suited to our blood type contain antigens that can cause all sorts of
illness. D’Adamo recommended his diet as a way to reduce infections, lose weight, fight cancer and diabetes, and slow the ageing
process.
D’Adamo’s book has sold seven million copies and has been translated into 60 languages. It has been followed by a string of
other blood type diet books; D’Adamo also sells a line of blood-type-tailored diet supplements on his website. As a result, doctors
often get asked by their patients if blood type diets actually work.
The best way to answer that question is to run an experiment. In Eat Right 4 Your Type D’Adamo wrote that he was in the
eighth year of a decade-long trial of blood type diets on women with cancer. Eighteen years later, however, the data from this trial
have not yet been published.
Recently, researchers at the Red Cross in Belgium decided to see if there was any other evidence in the diet’s favor. They
hunted through the scientific literature for experiments that measured the benefits of diets based on blood types. Although they
examined over 1,000 studies, their efforts were fruitless. “There is no direct evidence supporting the health effects of the ABO blood
type diet,” says Emmy De Buck of the Belgian Red Cross-Flanders.
After De Buck and her colleagues published their review in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, D’Adamo responded on
his blog. In spite of the lack of published evidence supporting his Blood Type Diet, he claimed that the science behind it is right. “There
is good science behind the blood type diets, just like there was good science behind Einstein’s mathematical calculations that led to
the Theory of Relativity,” he wrote.

other blood type diet books; D’Adamo also sells a line of blood-type-tailored diet supplements on his website. As a result, doctors
often get asked by their patients if blood type diets actually work.
The best way to answer that question is to run an experiment. In Eat Right 4 Your Type D’Adamo wrote that he was in the
eighth year of a decade-long trial of blood type diets on women with cancer. Eighteen years later, however, the data from this trial
have not yet been published.
Recently, researchers at the Red Cross in Belgium decided to see if there was any other evidence in the diet’s favor. They
hunted through the scientific literature for experiments that measured the benefits of diets based on blood types. Although they
examined over 1,000 studies, their efforts were fruitless. “There is no direct evidence supporting the health effects of the ABO blood
type diet,” says Emmy De Buck of the Belgian Red Cross-Flanders.
After De Buck and her colleagues published their review in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, D’Adamo responded on
his blog. In spite of the lack of published evidence supporting his Blood Type Diet, he claimed that the science behind it is right. “There
is good science behind the blood type diets, just like there was good science behind Einstein’s mathematical calculations that led to
the Theory of Relativity,” he wrote.

Consider the following statements concerning blood types and their specific diets defended by Peter D’Adamo:
1. Type O blood people must eat a lot of meat and avoid milk, yogurt and cheese, for example. 2. Type O blood appeared before the other blood types. 3. Type B diet, which is rich in yogurt, milk, cheese and meat, can cause diabetes. 4. People who want to slow the ageing process or fight cancer and diabetes should follow the blood type diet. 5. Type A blood people should eat many vegetables because this blood type is related to agriculture.
Which of the statements above are TRUE, according to Peter D’Adamo’s ideas?

Why do we have blood types?
In 1996 a naturopath named Peter D’Adamo published a book called Eat Right 4 Your Type. D’Adamo argued that we must
eat according to our blood type, in order to harmonise with our evolutionary heritage. Blood types, he claimed, “appear to have arrived
at critical junctures of human development.” According to D’Adamo, type O blood arose in our hunter-gatherer ancestors in Africa,
type A at the dawn of agriculture, and type B developed between 10,000 and 15,000 years ago in the Himalayan highlands. Type AB,
he argued, is a modern blending of A and B.
From these suppositions, D’Adamo then claimed that our blood type determines what food we should eat. With my agriculture-based type A blood, for example, I should be a vegetarian. People with the ancient hunter type O should have a meat-rich diet and
avoid grains and dairy. According to the book, foods that are not suited to our blood type contain antigens that can cause all sorts of
illness. D’Adamo recommended his diet as a way to reduce infections, lose weight, fight cancer and diabetes, and slow the ageing
process.
