Physical remedy services are handed for colorful medical conditions similar to a loss of muscle strength or muscle tone, loss of range of stir in the joints, fractured bones and common reserves, neuropathies, strokes, and spinal cord injuries. Any of these conditions can beget problems in getting around or getting in and out of a president or bed. A physical therapist can help by assessing your senior's capability to perform conditioning of diurnal living as well as his range of general mobility, stir, balance, strength, and transfer chops. Grounded on his evaluation, the therapist will develop a plan of care and set pretensions that must be achieved during the treatment period.
Occupational remedy
With occupational remedy, people who have health problems that limit their normal conditioning learn to live as tone- sufficiently as possible. utmost of us take for granted numerous of the simple effects that we do every day similar as bathing, dressing, fixing refections, eating, doing ménage chores, and managing our particular business. But to those with a disabling illness or who have suffered from an injury, completing these tasks( which are more generally known as conditioning of diurnal living or ADLs) may not be that simple. This is why they need occupational therapists who can educate them on the ways to perform these tasks, whether alone or with the help of other people or a special device. It's the thing of an occupational therapist to help elderly guests restore their maximum position of independence and function in the most effective and safest manner by assessing and designing an individualized treatment plan.
Speech Therapy
People who have suffered from a stroke or a traumatic accident frequently lose their capability to communicate. It's the thing of speech remedy to restore their capability to admit or understand the words spoken to them or use words to express themselves. Speech therapists also educate their cases on the medium we typically use to produce words similar to pitch, articulation, volume, and ignorance.
Home Health Aide
Home health assistant services are supervised either by a registered nanny or a certified therapist. In general, helpers furnishing these services have gone through some special training and have guests in furnishing at-home healthcare. An assistant is hired on a part-time base or whenever a customer has a need for particular care at home. The duties handed by a home health assistant are planned by a registered nanny or a therapist together with the elderly customer and are added to the customer's care plan. Typical services include bathing, washing hair, changing bed linens, and furnishing backing with other ADLs.
Nutrition Therapy
When managing a person's health, one can noway take for granted the food and drink he takes. In fact, nutrition is frequently the first line of defense used in helping a case recover from an illness or injury. When it comes to nutrition, a registered dietician is a stylish person good to identify and measuring the pitfalls, as well as develop strategies and means to bring back the elderly case into a healthy condition. When furnishing at-home healthcare, a dietician can have a tremendous impact on the case's quality of life.
In-home care dieticians coordinate with the nursing staff, croakers, and therapists in developing and enforcing a plan of care, as well as in assessing the case's response to it. Nutrition remedy helps cases by speeding up their recovery time and reducing relapses. Some of the medical conditions that can gain benefits from nutrition remedies are CHF, HTN, COPD, diabetes, rotundity, organ failure, cancer, injuries, anorexia, GI diseases, and enteral nutrition.

According to The Vegan Society:
"Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."

1. Ethics

1.1 Sentience of Animals

I care about other human beings because I know that they are having a subjective experience. I know that, like me, they can be happy, anxious, angry or upset. I generally don't want them to die (outside of euthanasia), both because of the pain involved and because their subjective experience will end, precluding further happiness. Their subjective experience is also why I treat them with respect them as individuals, such as seeking their consent for sex and leaving them free from arbitrary physical pain and mental abuse. Our society has enshrined these concepts into legal rights, but like me, I doubt your appreciation for these rights stems from their legality, but rather because of their effect (their benefit) on us as people.
Many non-human animals also seem to be having subjective experiences, and care for one another just like humans do. It's easy to find videos of vertebrates playing with one another, showing concern, or grieving loss. Humans have understood that animals are sentient for centuries. We've come to the point that laws are being passed acknowledging that fact. Even invertebrates can feel pain. In one experiment, fruit flies learned to avoid odours associated with electric shocks. In another, they were given an analgesic which let them pass through a heated tube, which they had previously avoided. Some invertebrates show hallmarks of emotional states, such as honeybees, which can develop a pessimistic cognitive bias.
If you've had pets, you know that they have a personality. My old cat was lazy but friendly. My current cat is inquisitive and playful. In the sense that they have a personality, they are persons. Animals are people. Most of us learn not to arbitrarily hurt other people for our own whims, and when we find out we have hurt someone, we feel shame and guilt. We should be vegan for the same reason we shouldn't kill and eat human beings: all sentient animals, including humans, are having a subjective experience and can feel pain, enjoy happiness and fear death. Ending that subjective experience is wrong. Intentionally hurting that sentient being is wrong. Paying someone else to do it for you doesn't make it better.

1.2 The Brutalisation of Society

There are about 8 billion human beings on the planet. Every year, our society breeds, exploits and kills about 70 billion land animals. The number of marine animals isn't tracked (it's measured by weight - 100 billion tons per year), but it's likely in the trillions. Those are animals that are sexually assaulted to cause them to reproduce, kept in horrendous conditions, and then gased to death or stabbed in the throat or thrown on a conveyor belt and blended with a macerator.
It's hard to quantify what this system does to humans. We know abusing animals is a predictor of anti-social personality disorder. Dehumanising opponents and subaltern peoples by comparing them to animals has a long history in racist propaganda, and especially in war propaganda. The hierarchies of nation, race and gender are complemented by the hierarchy of species. If humans were more compassionate to all kinds of sentient life, I'd hope that murder, racism and war would be more difficult for a normal person to conceive of doing. I think that treating species as a hierarchy, with life at the bottom of that hierarchy treated as a commodity, makes our society more brutal. I want a compassionate society.
To justify the abuse of sentient beings by appealing to the pleasure we get from eating them seems to me like a kind of socially acceptable psychopathy. We can and should do better.

2. Environment

2.1 Greenhouse Gas Emissions

A 2013 study found that animal agriculture is responsible for the emission 7.1 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year, or 14.5% of human emissions.
A 2021 study increased that estimate to 9.8 gigatonnes, or 21% of human emissions.
This is why the individual emissions figures for animal vs plant foods are so stark, ranging from 60kg of CO2 equivalent for a kilo of beef, down to 300g for a kilo of nuts.
To limit global warming to 1.5 degrees by 2100, humanity needs to reduce its emissions by 45% by 2030, and become net zero by 2050.
Imagine if we achieve this goal by lowering emissions from everything else, but continue to kill and eat animals for our pleasure. That means we will have to find some way to suck carbon and methane out of the air to the tune of 14.5-21% of our current annual emissions (which is projected to increase as China and India increase their wealth and pick up the Standard American Diet). We will need to do this while still dedicating vast quantities of our land to growing crops and pastures for animals to feed on. Currently, 77% of the world's agricultural land is used for animal agriculture. So instead of freeing up that land to grow trees, sucking carbon out of the air, and making our task easier, we would instead choose to make our already hard task even harder.

2.2 Pollution

Runoff from farms (some for animals, others using animal manure as fertiliser) is destroying the ecosystems of many rivers, lakes and coastlines.
I'm sure you've seen aerial and satellite photographs of horrific pigshit lagoons, coloured green and pink from the bacteria growing in them. When the farms flood, such as during hurricanes, that pig slurry spills over and infects whole regions with salmonella and listeria. Of course, even without hurricanes, animal manure is the main source of such bacteria in plant foods.

2.3 Water and Land Use

No food system can overcome the laws of thermodynamics. Feeding plants to an animal will produce fewer calories for humans than eating plants directly (this is called 'trophic levels'). The ratio varies from 3% efficiency for cattle, to 9% for pigs, to 13% for chickens, to 17% for dairy and eggs.
This inefficiency makes the previously mentioned 77% of arable land used for animal agriculture very troubling. 10% of the world was food insecure in 2020, up from 8.4% in 2019. Humanity is still experiencing population growth, so food insecurity will get worse in the future. We need to replace animal food with plant food just to stop people in the global periphery starving to death. Remember that food is a global commodity, so increased demand for soya-fed beef cattle in Brazil means increased costs around the world for beef, soya, and things that could have been grown in place of the soya.
Water resources are already becoming strained, even in developed countries like America, Britain and Germany. Like in the Soviet Union with the Aral Sea, America is actually causing some lakes, like the Great Salt Lake in Utah, to dry up due to agricultural irrigation. Rather than for cotton as with the Aral Sea, this is mostly for the sake of animal feed. 86.6% of irrigated water in Utah goes to alfalfa, pasture land and grass hay. A cloud of toxic dust kicked up from the dry lake bed will eventually envelop Salt Lake City, for the sake of an industry only worth 3% of the state's GDP.
Comparisons of water footprints for animal vs plant foods are gobsmacking, because pastures and feed crops take up so much space. As water resources become more scarce in the future thanks to the depletion of acquifers and changing weather patterns, human civilisation will have to choose either to use its water to produce more efficient plant foods, or eat a luxury that causes needless suffering for all involved.

3. Health

3.1 Carcinogens, Cholesterol and Saturated Fat in Animal Products

In 2015, the World Health Organisation reviewed 800 studies, and concluded that red meat is a Group 2A carcinogen, while processed meat is a Group 1 carcinogen. The cause is things like salts and other preservatives in processed meat, and the heme iron present in all meat, which causes oxidative stress.
Cholesterol and saturated fat from animal foods have been known to cause heart disease for half a century, dating back to studies like the LA Veterans Trial in 1969, and the North Karelia Project in 1972. Heart disease killed 700,000 Americans in 2020, almost twice as many as died from Covid-19.

3.2 Antimicrobial Resistance

A majority of antimicrobials sold globally are fed to livestock, with America using about 80% for this purpose. The UN has declared antimicrobial resistance to be one of the 10 top global public health threats facing humanity, and a major cause of AMR is overuse.

3.3 Zoonotic Spillover

Intensive animal farming has been called a "petri dish for pathogens" with potential to "spark the next pandemic". Pathogens that have recently spilled over from animals to humans include:
1996 and 2013 avian flu
2003 SARS
2009 swine flu
2019 Covid-19,

3.4 Worker Health

Killing a neverending stream of terrified, screaming sentient beings is the stuff of nightmares. After their first kill, slaugherhouse workers report suffering from increased levels of: trauma, intense shock, paranoia, fear, anxiety, guilt, and shame.
Besides wrecking their mental health, it can also wreck their physical health. In 2007, 24 slaugherhouse workers in Minnesota began suffering from an autoimmune disease caused by inhaling aerosolised pig brains. Pig brains were lodged in the workers' lungs. Because pig and human brains are so similar, the workers' immune systems began attacking their own nervous systems.
The psychopathic animal agriculture industry is not beyond exploiting children and even slaves.

LTC currently should be at 160 in comparison to BTC being at 28000. So it means either BTC is due for a pull back or LTC is primed to advance. BTC usually advances ahead of LTC. In the next Bull Run that should be at peak in April-May 2025 my calculations are BTC 319,000 and LTC 855…a lot of the information I used was previous Bear lows and previous Bull highs .. the BTC to LTC ratio has been as low as 211 LTC to 1 BTC and as high as 500 LTC to 1 BTC.. currently we are at about 345 LTC to 1 BTC….

Hi everyone,
I've been offered a CST-equivalent job in a dream location in England but I have other offers overseas. I'm trying to weigh up the pros and cons of each and I've been much more focused on what could give me the best training opportunities ... so I've only just looked at the salary on the offer (I knew it was gonna be meh as it's an LED post) and it just says "MN37". A quick google says that it's about £35,858 per annum and is based off an older contract. Is that right?
Given how we're all lasering in on fair pay, I was wondering what people's thoughts were on these alternative contracts. Given the rising competition ratios and general clusterfuckery of training, more and more people will be in my situation of taking alternative routes to complete said training. When the BMA negotiates about FPR in the coming talks, will contracts like these be affected too? Or will the sexier hospitals still be able to lowball people through these older agreements?

I'm writing a script to a video on trade routes and I've hit a wall with my research and need some help. Mainly on helping me define how the trade route buffs for the golden gate bridge and panama canal work. In game when describing the wonder it meantions that "routes passing through multiply the gold from districts at the destination." So when trying to find out how it works specifically I came to discover there was no mention of this buff on the wiki for trade routes nor the pages for the wonders themselves.
The page on trade routes covers every other trade wonder perfectly: great Zimbabwe, Torre de Belem, and university of Sankhore. But there is no mention of GGB and Panama Canal is only mentioned twice because of it being a canal, nothing on the trade multiplier.
What the wiki does state on trade route buffs is this:
"In Gathering Storm all Trade Routes passing through water tiles gain bonus Gold(Civ6)). Also, routes passing through advanced engineering features (such as a Railroad), Canal) or Mountain Tunnel)) gain additional Gold(Civ6)) bonuses. It is calculated as follows (remember that this percentage-based bonus only applies to basic Gold(Civ6)) yields from Trade Routes a.k.a. the Gold(Civ6)) yield based on the District) present at the destination, it will not enhance unique Trade Route bonuses or bonuses from policy cards):

• Water tiles (Lake, Coast or Ocean), Canal tiles, and Railroad tiles grant 2 "efficiency" points when a Trader passes through.
• Mountain Tunnel tiles or Qhapaq Ñan tiles grant 15 "efficiency" points when a Trader passes through.
• The exact bonus depends on the ratio of "efficiency" points versus the distance traversed by the Trader from the origin to the destination. For example, a Trade Route that earns 8 efficiency points on a 16-tile distance will earn 50% bonus toward its base Gold_(Civ6)) yield. This bonus caps at 100%."

I am lead to believe that these two wonders just give 2 efficiency points for each tile they take up as even a regular canal has the district multiplier description in-game, but is explained to only give efficiency points on the wiki, which makes sense. I could see the panama canal giving 4-6 efficiency points by technically being 2-3 canal tiles, and I suppose the GGB would give 2 efficiency points like a rail road, but I want to make sure of all this information before going forward and recording the video. Last thing I would want to do is confuse a new player or spread mis-information.
Also if you help me figure this out your comment gets to be in the video or something idk, but until then I'll see you in the next era.

So my wife got this thing for free. She said it was only used once and looks brand new. It wasn’t until I looked at it that I saw the power wire was cutoff at the base. No idea why. I figured I could just replace the cord. But, I’m a little confused what size wire to buy. It is stranded.
The back of the machine says “120v 60hz 1760W” which I believe is 1760/120=14.7 amps. This would make me guess that a 14 AWG wire is needed. Am I wrong?
The reason I’m confused is the original wire seems to fit my wire strippers at 16 AWG. I measured the strands and tried to calculate it and came up with about 16 AWG. And I could just make out a “1.31” on the wire which happens to be the equivalent mm2 of 16 AWG. Am I overlooking something? Is my math wrong? Or is the cable undersized for the wattage it has on the label?
Also if anyone knows any place to get a replacement cord please let me know - otherwise I’ll probably just get a generic one from Home Depot.
Thanks for any advice!

My friend and I have been playing since about 2018. Almost all of our comp games are duos together. We aren't super serious about ranks or anything, but we both reached Masters and briefly T500 during OW1. We ended up around high Plat/low Diamond by the time OW2 came out and our SR was always pretty much identical.
Overwatch 2 comes out, and for some reason we can't do placements together so we do them separately. I win the majority of my games but place high Gold/low Plat in everything. My friend does the same but places high Plat/low Diamond in everything (sidenote: he lost 3 support games, I only lost 1).
We carry on queuing together and playing duos. We do okay, probably averaging at about 50% win rate with some big win streaks and some big loss streaks. I figured by duoing all our games together our ranks would eventually balance out, but the opposite happens. Every time we hit the rank adjustment, I would either break even or go up 1 division, whilst he would consistently go up 2 divisions; even if we had a fair number of losses beforehand.
I've now reached Diamond ranks, but he's outpaced me so much that he's hit high masters and we can't queue together anymore, which is killing my interest in playing.
I've heard people state that rank is now performance based; comparing your stats to similar players in your role. If this is true, my theory is that our rank difference is inflating his performance - e.g. if he's playing against Plats his stats will be better than an equivalent Diamond player playing against Diamonds. We've pretty much always played together and our skill levels are fairly even, though I'd happily admit he's probably marginally better than me overall.
In addition to this, if the performance based ranking is true, does this mean it's better to wait in spawn during the games you're getting absolutely rolled? Seeing as attempting to fight through is likely just going to inflate your deaths and ruin your E/D ratio.
I'm not particularly fussed about ranks really, it just sucks that we can only play unranked games together now where we can't even switch sides to play full games of hybrid/payload.
