Have you ever wanted to help somebody who resisted your help? Have you ever felt completely helpless and powerless against something that was slowly, menacingly draining the life out of either you, a loved one, or a friend?

I have.

For the past several years, I have watched some of my closest peers suffer from either anorexia, a form of self-harm known as cutting, or both. These are conditions which are surprisingly common amongst teenagers and yet rarely discussed in school if ever.

This past October, my former middle school held its first ever Wellness Fair to educate students and their families on the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The school had 29 exhibitors promoting nutrition, mindfulness, and fitness, and one exhibitor Samaritans providing information on suicide prevention.

While I commend the school for addressing teenage suicide, I found it extremely disheartening that not one booth addressed eating disorders or self-harm conditions that demand just as much attention as teenage suicide.

Yet, its not just the Wellness Fair that failed to address these issues its also the schools. Yes, schools talk about nutrition and warn students about the dangers of obesity yet they never touch upon the life threatening complications caused by eating disorders like anorexia or bulimia.

Yes, schools talk about the importance of physical fitness and exercise yet they never cover the dire health consequences of exercise compulsion (also known as exercise bulimia or anorexia athletica), which is characterized by excessive and/or compulsive exercising to burn fat and calories.

And yes, schools alert students about the negative repercussions of vaping and consuming alcohol and drugs but they never once discuss the dangers of self-harm. This needs to change.

Many educators, parents, and students alike dont understand the severity of eating disorders, but eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness including depression with a person dying every 62 minutes.

According to the Foundation for Research and Education in Eating Disorders (FREED), 50 percent of teenage girls engage in unhealthy weight management behaviors such as skipping meals, fasting, excessive exercising, smoking cigarettes, and using laxatives. Thats half of all teenage girls in the country.

By failing to address eating disorders and opting, instead, to focus on the consequences of being overweight, schools are inadvertently sending a faulty and downright harmful message to self conscious, impressionable adolescents that being thin at any cost means being healthy.

As Lynn Grefe, president of the National Eating Disorders Association in New York, points out, Kids are more afraid of being fat than they are of war and terrorism, so unless otherwise instructed they will engage in unhealthy, dangerous methods to lower their body weight.

Teenagers often assume that it is better to starve themselves and be underweight than risk being overweight, yet for females, ages 15-24, the mortality rate associated with anorexia is 12 times higher than the death rate of ALL other causes of death in that age group combined.

Furthermore, a study by the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders found that 18-20 percent of anorexia patients die within twenty years of developing an eating disorder and only 30-40 percent ever fully recover.

Just as critical and disturbing? The statistics on self-harm amongst teenagers.

More teenagers than ever before are turning to self harm, which includes intentionally damaging or injuring ones body by cutting, burning, hair-pulling and self-poisoning, as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, and/or depression.

It is easy to assume that only a handful of students harm themselves and that students who self-harm have the intention of taking their life, but in actuality, 1 in 4 teen girls and 1 in 10 teen boys harm themselves annually without suicidal intentions, accounting for 20 percent of teenagers nationwide. According to these estimates, there are around 142 girls and 57 boys in my high school - which has approximately 570 students who harm themselves.

Many people treat eating disorders and self-harm as separate entities, but psychologists have recently discovered a link between eating disorders and self-harm. A study from John Hopkins University found that 35 percent of individuals struggling from anorexia engage in self-harm.

Whats more, the study also found that 50 percent of self-mutilators have a history of either anorexia or bulimia.

These are staggering statistics, and students need to know them. It is therefore imperative that schools stop seeing self harm and anorexia as taboo topics and start embracing universal prevention programs.

Several school administrators and teachers have claimed that such programs would put harmful ideas into students heads and lead to an increase in self-harm and eating-disorder behavior, but research has shown otherwise.

Stephanie Haines, a prevention education specialist at Walden Center For Education and Research, counters, The biggest harm any of us can do...is stay silent. Mental health conditions warrant honest and sometimes uncomfortable conversations. But these discussions help.

Its time that schools stop running away from sensitive topics and educate their students about the very real dangers of these conditions. There are many renowned prevention programs that can help programs like the FREED program for eating disorder prevention and the S.A.F.E alternatives program for self-harm prevention.

These programs offer advice and resources from experts who know exactly how educators can broach these subjects with their students. Schools can even opt to have members of these programs come and speak directly to their students.

The FREED program, for example, has made presentations to over 5,500 middle schools and high schools.

The goal of school administrators shouldnt merely be to educate students; it should also be to keep them safe. Schools have an opportunity to make a real difference in their students lives by implementing these prevention programs into their health class curriculum and adding eating-disorder and self-harm exhibits into their next Wellness Fair.

Now is the time for schools to address these issues before it is too late.

TEEN BEAT: Anorexia and Self-harm: The epidemics that schools are too afraid to address - Wicked Local Topsfield

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is one of very few people we'd call a 'must-follow' on Instagram. That rarified status isn't just because it's fun to get an inside look at the life of one of the most popular people on the planet (and his absurd cheat day meals)it's because you'll learn something just about every time he posts a workout video from the gym.

Johnson's most recent training post is a perfect example of his smartly-structured routines. While other guys his size might only be interested in showcasing their massive muscles pushing through reps with as much weight as possible, he's comfortable documenting all the work he's putting in with loads that many lifters would be able to manage.

The workout, which is a multi-exercise biceps and triceps pump extravaganza, doesn't require Johnson to pile on the plates to get his muscles going. Instead, he focuses on quality reps using picture perfect posture to make the most out of every single movement.

Johnson begins the session with a quick stir the pot move on an exercise ball to activate his core, then jumps straight into the arm action. He grabs dumbbells for biceps curls and alternating curls before jumping to the cable machine for triceps pressdowns. He keeps cycling between the bis and tris: a curl variation with an E-Z bar followed by more pressdowns, then a well-positioned concentration curl variation we've seen from him before paired with overhead cable extensions. (Here's the full breakdown if you want to try the workout yourself.)

The order of his movements allow him to save timeduring his biceps exercises, he's allowing his triceps to rest and recover, and vice versamaking this a super effective arm day pump. But the use of smaller weights is even more striking.

"The dude never curls more than a 30-pound dumbbell," says Men's Health fitness director Ebenezer Samuel, C.S.C.S. "But his upper arms are never not perpendicular to the ground. And he's curling up only as far as he can get while keeping them perpendicular, so total focus on the biceps here."

And he's not just rushing through mindlessly, either. Johnson is clearly taking his time and working hard to squeeze at the top of each rep, emphasizing his focus and mind-muscle connection. The sweat clearly soaking through Johnson's shirt is proof enough that this is no walk in the park.

Keeping the weights low is also a practical measure. Someone like Johnson, who's consistently training hard and shooting demanding film sequences, can't afford an injury. Mixing up tempos, using drop sets, and tiring out the muscles with pre-fatiguing movements to avoid going too hard on core lifts can keep Johnson in good shape. "Because he's an actor and he's an action star, and his roles are very physical, I can't structure out programs that are too taxing on his nervous system," the actor's strength coach, Dave Rienzi, told us earlier this year in a breakdown of a leg day session. "If he's squatting 500, 600 pounds, obviously that'd be very taxing on his nervous system and his adrenals and he wouldn't be able to perform properly on-screen."

While most of the movements in the above workout are arm day 101, Johnson does bust out a more uncommon variation on the cable machine with the underhand-grip triceps pressdown. Unsurprisingly, this was likely a choice meant to make the workout even more focused on concentration.

"The best part of the underhand-grip triceps pressdown is how it prevents you from using body lean to drive the weight," says Samuel. "You have to focus that much more intently on using your triceps to drive the weight, almost 'pulling' it down. Take your time on these, and you'll get a powerful triceps contraction."

If you want to take on The Rock's arm day pump, remember to follow his principles. The amount of weight isn't what's important for your workoutit's all about quality reps.

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to meet the two dozen or so sports medicine doctors who take care of the Netherlands Olympic team. With Tokyo 2020 looming on the horizon, theyd gathered at National Sports Centre Papendal, a sprawling, forested athletic mega-campus on the outskirts of the city ofArnhem, for two days of meetings, discussions, and debates. One of the topics was how to weigh imperfect scientific evidence when youre dealing with elite athletes, for whom even a tiny edge might be the difference between glory and obliviona topic I wrestled with in a recent in-depth articleabout the performance-boosting effects of electric brain stimulation.

At dinner after the first days discussions, I happened to be seated across from an Amsterdam-based doctor named Guus Reurink. His doctoral thesis was on hamstring injuries, including a 2014 randomized trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine that found no benefit to platelet-rich plasma injections, better known as PRP. That got my attention, because about a decade ago PRP was the hottest thing in sports medicine, touted to speedthe healing of tendons, joints, muscles, and pretty much any other body part you can think of. But you dont hear as much about it these days. What, I asked Reurink, was its current status?

It turns out to be complicated. PRP, in a nutshell, involves withdrawing some blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to separate out the platelets that are thought to play a key role in instigating healing, then reinjecting the good stuff at an injury site. As Reurinks work showed, it doesnt seem to work for hamstring injuries. Neither does it seem to work for Achilles tendons, muscle injuries more generally, bone fractures, or ACL repairs, according to a reviewlast year. On the other hand, it seems to work for tennis elbow and knee osteoarthritis, and may work for patellar tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis.

In other words, its a mess. Given that it supposedly works for some tendons but not others, and some joints but others, its easy to see why, when an injured elite athlete comes in desperately looking to get healthy as quickly as possible, you might say, Well, lets give PRP a shot. It might help, and cant hurt. Its precisely the same logic that leads some athletes to wire themselves up for electric brain stimulation.

But Reurink was more hesitant about the therapythan I expected. Some of the best evidence for injury healing, he pointed out, backs the use of progressive exercise programs. Even in situations where PRP appears to work, like knee osteoarthritis, its benefits are fairly similar to what youd expect to see from a leg strengthening program. Patients, of course, prefer the quick fix. Its much more satisfying to walk out of the doctors office with an appointment for an injection than with instructions to spend several months at home doing seemingly pointless exercises. And its much easierand more lucrativefor doctors to promise an injection than to spend an hour explaining why an injection isnt needed.

It may be a bad trade-off, though. Reurink directed me to a study published in the American Journal of Sports Medicinein 2017 that compared PRP, exercise, and the combination of both for muscle injuries in rats. There are obvious downsides to rat studies, but the advantage is that you can induce pretty much identical injuries, and then you can directly analyze the muscle tissue to determine how well it healed and why. Also, rats dont slack off of their exercise program just because they got an injection.

The study, from researchers at Vall dHebron Institut de Recerca in Spain, assigned 40 rats to one of five different groups: a single PRP injection; daily exercise training for two weeks; both PRP and exercise; an injection of saline as a placebo; or no treatment at all. The good news: both PRP and exercise accelerated recovery and improved other markers of healing compared to doing nothing at all or getting a placebo. But the most interesting finding was what happened to the group that got both exercise and PRP.

Heres the muscle strength of the injured legscompared to thehealthy onesafter two weeks of recovery, asmeasured by electrically stimulating the muscles. A value of 100 percent would mean that the injured muscle had fully recovered and was just as strong as the uninjured muscle.

Again, PRP is better than nothing, and also better than the placebo injection of saline. Exercise is even better than PRP. If you get both PRP and exercise? Its not as good as exercise alone. Somehow, getting the PRP injection interferes with the benefits of active recovery.

Other data suggests that this finding isnt just a fluke. In pretty much all the outcome measures, PRP is good, exercise is better, and doing both is somewhere in the middle.In the first graph below, for example, is the average cross-sectional area (in millimeters) of newly formed individual muscle fibers in the injured muscle. Bigger is better. In the second graph, you have a measure of the amount of scar tissue in the injured muscle, expressed as a percentage of the muscles total cross-sectional area. In this case, smaller is better.

These findings, the researchers suggest, may help explain why studies of PRP have produced such mixed results: it depends not only on what youre comparing PRP to, but also on what else the injured subjects are doing. If theyre doing nothing, PRP looks great. But if theyre also doing a fairly standard rehabilitation protocol that includes exercise, PRP may actually interfere with its benefits.

Of course, I should emphasize again that rats injuries and human injuries may differ in some unexpected way. Perhaps these results dont apply directly to humans. But I think they illustrate a more general point that applies not just to PRP, but also to other cutting-edge therapies and technologies, including brain stimulation: nothing takes place in a vacuum. Adding one element to your routine, be it ice bathsor ketonesor all-out sprints, will interact with other parts of your regimen, and not always for the better. And even if theres no direct interaction, the time, energy, and money you choose to spend in any one area comes with opportunity costs in other areas. That doesnt mean you should never try anything new. It just means you should understand that theres always a cost.

Excerpt from:
The Hidden Cost of a Quick Injury Fix - Outside

HERNDON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On Monday Nov 18, more than 70 first responders descended on Eagle Bank Arena in Virginia to test a first-of-its-kind collaboration system for real-time video sharing, advanced building sensors, and other state-of-the-art technologies, in an effort to help the nation better prepare for active shooter scenarios, and other man-made and natural disasters.

Led by the Center for Innovative Technology (CIT) Smart City IoT Innovation (SCITI) Labs in Virginia, and powered by technology from Mutualink, Inc., a leading provider of interoperability solutions for first responders in communities across the nation, a successful live operational field exercise demonstrated faster and more effective emergency response in a large-scale incident.

The exercise was part of a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funded Smart City Initiative'. The initiative involves a multiphase competitive delivery process among private sector technology companies tasked with designing, developing, and demonstrating a combination of capabilities with the goal to help meet evolving homeland security needs, including improved emergency response and communication. Mutualink was selected from over 140 applicants and successfully delivered a Phase 1 proof of concept, leading to its selection as the primary technology enablement solution for the next generation of public-safety-focused Smart City Phase 2 program and major training exercise at George Mason Universitys (GMU) Eagle Bank Arena.

Utilizing its advanced multimedia interoperability platform, Mutualinks Internet of Public Safety Things (IoPST) network and technologies, deployed throughout the arena, were used in the active shooter exercise on GMUs Campus on Monday, Nov. 18. These technologies are designed for robust, expansive and persistent connectivity in support of enhanced public safety and response effectiveness in emergency situations. Sensors and cameras connected to the IoPST network provided unprecedented situational awareness and were securely shared in real time with mutual aid partners, enabling seamless voice communications and real-time display of video and sensor visualization data within an interactive floorplan-map based interface. CITs SCITI Labs led the group that also included other advanced technology providers, whose sensors and displays were interconnected with Mutualinks backbone network and system.

Smart city technologies to improve operational and energy efficiencies

George Mason University executive leadership, research professors and students, along with numerous federal, state and local community leaders, also observed the exercise.

Smart communities are an important next step building on top of our universal broadband access because they enable better local government services to everyone in the Commonwealth, said Virginia Secretary of Commerce & Trade Brian Ball. The SCITI Labs research, using smart buildings to improve public safety, is a key example of how this can work. The program is a showcase for the power of collaboration among federal, state and local government, and our university and industry partners.

The technologies involved in the training at George Mason University also included sensors and displays, attached to Mutualinks IoPST network, that are designed to improve the operational and energy efficiency of the arena. The sharing of this real-time data in an emergency can help responders more rapidly determine the location of personnel, the type and severity of the emergency, monitor on-scene environmental health and safety conditions, assist in finding victims more quickly and, ultimately, save lives. The solution harnesses the power of in-building smart systems and sensors and delivers vital information to first responders in an environment where agency partners can not only see critical information but simultaneously communicate and collaborate to maximize response coordination and enhance overall first responder safety.

Smart building technologies that interface to our advanced communications and interoperability platform benefit from real-world exercise scenarios, said Dr. Mike Wengrovitz, Mutualinks VP of innovation. We thank DHS, CIT SCITI Labs, the researchers and many others with whom weve worked closely at George Mason University and the Eagle Bank Arena for the exercises tremendous success. And going forward, were excited about the various Smart Campus and Smart Corridor initiatives being discussed as potential elements of the follow-on program, as well as the continued collaboration with GMU including the Center for Advancing Human-Machine Partnership (CAHMP).

Bill Bryan, Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Under Secretary for Science and Technology in the Department of Homeland Security announced the new four-year contract awarded to CIT and SCITI Labs to continue this collaboration and work.

This effort is a great example of collaboration between Department of Homeland Security, Science and Technology and the commercial innovation community, Bryan said. The SCITI Labs Commercial First Innovation approach rapidly brings the power of new industry partners to some of the most challenging problems of the Department of Homeland Security enterprise.

George Mason University Interim President Anne Holton also expressed her enthusiasm for the innovative research and the public-private partnerships that have found an environment to thrive at Mason. I am thrilled that Mason has been able to contribute to such an inspiring collaboration and cutting-edge research on the intersection of smart technology and emergency response, Holton said. I am confident that together we can forge a future where such technology interacts with humans and our environment in similarly complementary, sustainable and progressive ways.

At the library: Take a break with some crafts - Waynesboro Record Herald

Real Housewives of Orange County star Emily Simpson has been open and honest about her struggles with depression, chronic pain, and body issues after she reached her highest weight ever earlier this year. And now, Simpson is sharing her success after she took some major steps toward getting healthy.

Simpson revealed on Instagram back in October that she was undergoing hip replacement surgery later that month so she could move pain free. She added that the new Emily cant wait to run, jump, workout, walk a catwalk, and dance. The 43-year-old also explained in the comments that she was having the surgery because her arthritis had led to her having no cartilage in her left hip.

The pain was so bad that she stopped exercising and living an active life. At the same time, she confessed to being so busy that she often found herself in a drive-thru ordering tacos. RHOC fans have watched Simpson struggle with her weight this season. And, in a recent episode she broke down after stepping on the scale for the first time in a while.

Emilys husband Shane Simpson wasnt much help at least in front of Bravo cameras because he made fun of his wife for being on a diet, and teased her with bread even though she refused.

Everything with Shane is a joke, said Emily. But, this is a serious issue.

Now that the surgery is behind her, Simpson says that surgery is no joke, and now she understands the toll it takes on your body. She compared it to running a marathon, and said that its important to prepare with specific nutrition before and after.

While I may not be running 26.2 anytime soon, the new me is SO excited to get into shape and run around with my kids again. Watch out, the catwalk is calling! wrote Simpson.

She also revealed in a separate post that she has lost 15 pounds since starting a 12-week exercise program created by Paulina Taylor Hefferan, who she reached out to for help. Simpson said that she had no idea where to start when she realized she weighed more than she ever had in her life, and she felt lost.

She [Heffaran] helped me change my lifestyle and has taught me so much about balance. She has also encouraged me to not give up and keep going, wrote Simpson in the caption of a full-body pic. Not only did I want to lose weight to feel and look better, but I wanted to be healthier and set a good example for my kids!

Simpson added that she hasnt felt this good in a long time. And now that she has a new hip and is down 15 pounds, she is finally able to keep up with her kids and be more active.
