Grace Brown, 14, poses for a portrait while jogging at the park where she does her jogging workouts for her online PE class, in Alexandria, Virginia on Friday, Nov. 1, 2019. (AP Photo / Jacquelyn Martin)

Grace Browns schedule at West Potomac High School in northern Virginia is filled with all the usual academics, and shes packed in Latin, chorus and piano as extras.

What she cant cram into the 8:10 a.m.-2:55 p.m. school day is gym class.

So shes taking that one minus the gym, and on her own time.

The 14-year-old freshman is getting school credit for virtual physical education, a concept that, as strange as it may sound, is being helped along by availability of wearable fitness trackers.

For students whose tests and textbooks have migrated to screens, technology as gym equipment may have been only a matter of time.

Grace, who lives in Alexandria, wears a school-issued Fitbit on her wrist while getting in at least three 30-minute workouts a week outside of school hours. She has an app on her computer that screenshots her activity so she can turn it in for credit.

While online physical education classes have been around for well over a decade, often as part of virtual or online schools, the technology has made possible a new level of accountability, its users say.

Were asking kids to wear this while they do an activity of their choice, and they can change the activity as they desire, as long as its something that they understand is probably going to get their heart rate up, said Elizabeth Edwards, department head for online physical education at Fairfax County Public Schools, which includes Graces high school.

Though a physical education instructor isnt shouting from the sidelines, teachers do guide assignments by setting goals such as fat burn, cardio or peak, relying on the technology to be their eyes and ears. Students also are required to sign in for a weekly 60-minute to 90-minute classroom session with the teacher.

Teenagers who play soccer, swim or dance all year may satisfy the workout requirements without doing anything extra. Grace has been adding bike rides and jogs to her days.

For her, online PE freed her up to take three elective courses, instead of two in school. For others, its a welcome way to take a required class that students otherwise may find socially or physically challenging.

We definitely exercise more in online PE, Grace said. Theres a lot of standing around in regular PE. Online, I do much harder workouts.

A survey of more than 3,000 fitness professionals by the American College of Sports Medicine named wearable technology the top trend in fitness for 2020.

Its not clear how many schools are embracing the trend. It comes with some cautions.

Technology and the collection of any student data always raises the specter of student privacy concerns. And some worry that students exercising on their own may miss out on important social concepts such as teamwork.

There is a difference between physical activity and physical education, said Chris Hersl, former vice president for programs and professional development at SHAPE America, which wrote national standards for K-12 physical education.

Physical activity is great for the body. We want everybody to move, he said, but physical education is a class where students are taught how to move their body and the social context in which to do that.

Joliet Township schools in Illinois uses fitness trackers as part of a blended learning conditioning program that has students who sign up for it work out two to three times a week in the gym with an instructor and the other days on their own.

Its a flexible schedule where they still have in-person physical education classes and theres still instruction happening, but theyre able to use the Fitbit to monitor how students are working outside the classroom, said Karla Guseman, the districts associate superintendent for educational services.

She said its one of numerous blending learning options that Joliet Township High School offers to give students both more control over the pace and time of their work, and more responsibility to get it done.

Were trying to give them an opportunity to see what post-secondary might look like, Guseman said, when you dont meet every day but youre still expected to do work for a course or preparation between class periods.

A virtual school that is part of the Springfield, Missouri, public school district started with a single class -- physical education, said Nichole Lemmon, the creator of the program, called Launch, which uses Garmin fitness trackers.

Eight years ago, it was the very first online class by our developers to meet a really niche student who could not fit PE courses into their schedule, Lemmon said. Maybe they wanted to take more honors level courses, or advanced placement, or international baccalaureate classes and PE was hard to fit in, so we allowed them to do it outside of the school day.

A telling illustration of the technology-driven 24/7 school day is the peak log-in time on the schools portal system: 10:03 p.m.

They may not be working out at 10 p.m., but thats when theyre turning in their workout. The notion that education now runs 7:30-4, 8-3, is really antiquated, Lemmon said, and our students are begging to be able to have more flexibility in the time of day they learn.

During the past summer session, there were 22,600 students enrolled, and the most popular courses were PE, she said.

Teachers help students set up their fitness devices, entering the students height, weight and age, and coming up with a target heart rate. As an added layer of instruction and accountability, Launch students are required to send video back to the teacher, who checks their technique as they stretch or lift weights, for example.

They work with their PE instructor to set a fitness goal and then they get their workout however they want to, Lemmon said. It really does promote lifelong fitness because its about working out the way they want to, not theyre required to do a particular activity in gym. ... We have a lot of kids -- a locker room is their worst nightmare. Its not where they want to be.

Graces mother, Rhonda Brown, remembers how hard gym class soccer and softball games were for her because of blindness in one eye.

Youre talking to someone who was always picked last for every sporting activity. I have nightmares sometimes, she said.

Shed like to see the county go even further and grant waivers from PE to kids that play school sports.

Were so stuck in the traditional classroom setting. These kids are burning 2,000 calories during a practice and more at every game., she said. I wish the schools would catch up with the times.

The new year has arrived and you know what that means goals, diets and overfilled fitness classes. For those looking to make longterm health and lifestyle changes, the new year often brings headaches and heavy sighs. In the flurry of discounted memberships, new training styles and demanding contracts, you can easily get lost in the noise and shy away from making the significant health changes needed in order to live a higher quality of life.

LIVE WELL is a medical fitness clinic built on the belief that exercise is medicine. With locations throughout BC, including two here in North Delta and Surrey, their evidence-based programs are designed to help those struggling with health issues such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension or heart disease. Its also ideal for those taking a proactive approach to their health to avoid health problems down the road.

Members come to LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic for many reasons lose weight, lower cholesterol, improve blood pressure, have more energy or combat stress. Regardless of who you are or where you come from, youll find an inclusive environment where all are welcome.

So how is it doing? We asked four North Delta and Surrey residents to share how LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic has changed their lives.

Specialized training programs in a supervised setting

I joined LIVE WELL because I needed an exercise program that would help alleviate the chronic pain of fibromyalgia and arthritis and help my body move with more freedom, says member Connie Godfrey. My program is built upon the exercises my body needs to heal and become stronger, while tracking and monitoring my progress.

Connie has come to LIVE WELL for two years and now frequents the newly opened North Delta clinic. At 50, her health is more important to her than ever before.

The incredibly fun, knowledgeable and caring staff take the time to check in with each member on a personal level. The clinics are staffed with highly trained and educated Clinical Exercise Physiologists and Kinesiologists, and sessions are fully supervised so you know youre in a safe space where your program has been designed for your medical history and health goals.

But theres more here than exercise!

Ive been able to use tools that Ive gained through my emotional recovery, to push myself forward in my physical recovery through exercising at LIVE WELL. I also have a lot better balance, more confidence, and feel better after exercising.

As part of their clinically focussed approach to wellness, LIVE WELL also offers advice on healthy eating, with on-site health coaches sharing the role nutrition plays in a healthy lifestyle.

The accountability of having a health coach keeps me honest and real about the foods I eat and my activity level, Connie says.

The power of community

Cecilia Valenzuela joined LIVE WELLs Surrey location in 2017, enjoying workouts designed for her unique health and fitness needs. Taking into account her abilities and limitations, her routines constantly evolve with her changing health.

I have chronic and painful joint issues because of Lupus and Fibromyalgia. I also had liver failure in 2013 and kidney failure and pnuemonia with bilateral collapsed lungs in 2016. I couldnt even laugh. I needed an exercise program created for my health challenges.

Today, Cecilias regular exercise program has made her pain more manageable, reducing the number of flare-ups and related hospital visits.

Shes also seen other health benefits, too. Im more flexible and my cardiovascular health has improved. I could only walk five minutes and now Im walking over an hour. My strength has increased, Ive lost weight and Ive reduced my waist and hip measurements by four inches!

Often members enter the program as a couple or with a friend. Whether its someone you already know or a friend you make by joining, its just part of the support network built into the LIVE WELL community. In fact, only a year after Cecilia joined, her husband Victor also joined LIVE WELL in Surrey.

Ive had three car accidents, the last one was in 2018. My memory is still affected and I have chronic pain from my neck to my lower back, Victor says. Since joining the program, hes seen improvements to his pain levels, strength and flexibility.

For Victor, safety and supervision are key. My Clinical Exercise Physiologist challenges me to do more and I know the exercises he prescribes to me are safe. I like the attention I get from the staff and Im confident in their advice.

Working with your Physician

After reading about LIVE WELLs clinical approach to health, Qamrul Mohammed joined as a North Delta member even before that clinic opened last spring.

My clinical team at LIVE WELL tracks vitals such as blood pressure, weight, heart rate and body measurements. After a baseline assessment at the beginning of the program, regular assessments let me see the real positive changes occurring in my body.

Qamruls progress is regularly reported to her family physician. In fact, LIVE WELL works closely with members physicians to create plans geared toward improving their health a truly unique and powerful feature of the program.

The positive atmosphere and culture of support and encouragement all help me achieve my overall health vision: To improve my health and live the best quality of life I can, Qamrul explains.

What keeps Qamrul at LIVE WELL? The welcoming staff, their genuine concern for my well-being and their expertise. Today, I can garden for longer periods with no shoulder pain. I have lost weight, have more energy during the day and feel good about myself.

If youre trying to lose weight, reduce cholesterol or blood pressure, or simply want to get healthier, LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic can help. But because of their attentive care, LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic only accepts 300 members in each new clinic, so if youre in North Delta or Surrey, act fast!

Qamrul Mohammed joined LIVE WELL North Delta before the clinic even opened its doors! She loves gardening and comes to LIVE WELL for prevention and for the community.

LIVE WELL member Connie Godfrey appreciates the fun, knowledgeable staff who take the time to check in with each member on a personal level.

Stacey Solomon has proudly shown off her curves in a gorgeous striped bikini while taking a bath with her baby son, Rex.

The mother-of-four took to Instagram to share the cute snap which she claimed to be the best self-timer picture she has ever taken.

In the wholesome snap, Stacey poses with her legs crossed while excitedly sticking up her two thumbs while gorgeous baby Rex smiles alongside her with a rubber duck in his hands.

The 30-year-old Loose Women star was testing out a tub divider, having previously revealed she couldn't bathe with her son due to her love of hot water and bath bombs.

Before heading to the Dancing On Ice studios to support her boyfriend and Rex's dad Joe Swash, Stacey decided to test out the divider which was sent to her by the company.

Although she tried to avoid it, some of the bath bomb's colour did seep into her son's side of the bath, but Stacey reassured fans that his water temperature had remained cooler.

She captioned the post: "Best self timer picture I've ever managed to get.

"It worked for about 15 minutes, now it's starting to seep through... But the temperature for Rex is still good, which is a win. Just no bath bomb next time! I LOVE IT".

Sharing a link to the product, she added: "Don't worry, we are on our way to see Joe now, we aren't still in the bath."

This comes days after the 30-year-old won huge praise from fans after showing a candid picture of herself at the pool with baby Rex.

The snap sees Stacey in a tropical two piece bikini, cradling her youngest son on her knee as they both sport huge grins on their faces.

As she posted it to Instagram , Stacey said she was proud of her body and wouldn't be changing a thing about herself in the new year.

January is often the time celebs leap on the weight loss bandwagon and plug diet products and exercise programs, but Stacey was happy to buck the trend.

New year, same me," she joked.

"Why change something that brought me the most happiness I could ever imagine. That brought me the smiley seven month old in the picture and the most amazing 11 year old taking it. I wouldnt have it any other way," she mused.

"Here's to another year of loving our bodies no matter how hard society tries to stop us," she vowed.

Costa Rican authorities held a Tuesday evening press conference as a response to the Level 2 travel advisory from the U.S. State Department.

The advisory warns visitors to Costa Rica should exercise increased caution due to crime, a label the Central American government categorically rejected.

Below is a statement from Costa Ricas Foreign Minister, Manuel Ventura Robles, regarding the change:

Costa Rica and the United States of America maintain close and solid relations of friendship and cooperation based on mutual respect and a long tradition of values shared by democracy, human rights and freedom.

At the same time, more than 1.2 million U.S. citizens visit us every year to in an environment of peace, tranquility and security enjoy our natural beauties, the warm welcome by Costa Ricans and the human well-being of Costa Rica.

We are sure that U.S. tourists will continue to arrive in Costa Rica and will be able to tell other visitors of their country about our hospitality and our peace, of our beauties as famous artists, celebrities and other important personalities often do.

On this occasion, we express the energetic protest by the Government of Costa Rica over the decision to change the level in recommendations to U.S. tourists when visiting our country.

As a Government, we also hope to overcome this situation promptly and continue to deepen our relations between two sister nations to whom friendship and respect unites.

Over the first 11 months of 2019, more than half of the 2.8 million tourists who visited Costa Rica came from North America. Of those, nearly 1.2 million hailed from the United States.

According to the U.S. State Department, approximately 120,000 U.S. citizens reside in Costa Rica. In addition, the organization says, Costa Rica is the top Latin American destination for U.S. study abroad programs.

SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BLS Pharma, Inc. filed a complaint late last month against Genetronics, Inc. and Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: INO), Case No. 30-2019-01119045, for breaching a contract to supply a needle-free injection system that BLS Pharma was using to develop a drug-device combination (DDC) for testosterone replacement therapy.

Testosterone replacement therapy is a multi-billion-dollar market primarily used to treat male hypogonadism, a condition in which the body fails to produce enough testosterone. It is also a necessary treatment for transgender individuals transitioning and on lifetime hormone therapy from female to male.

Testosterone replacement therapy can make a significant difference for those in need of treatment. Our product would have allowed users to administer their treatments from the comfort of their own homes using a virtually painless needle-free system, said Mark Logomasini, President & CEO of BLS Pharma.

The shareholders of BLS Pharma previously developed the needleless injector technology, called Zetajet, and sold the intellectual property rights for it to Inovio and Genetronics, with the condition that Genetronics would execute a license and supply agreement to supply Zetajet units to BLS Pharma upon request. Under the agreement, BLS Pharma ordered 25,000 Zetajet units to prepare for its clinical trials on the DDC and was assured that the order was in process.

In September, BLS Pharma and Genetronics discussed the logistics of the syringe supply, and BLS Pharmas plan to offer the product for patients with hypogonadism and as a treatment for transgender males. The next business day, Inovio and Genetronics informed BLS Pharma they would not be supplying the syringes. This breach of contract eliminated BLS Pharmas ability to bring the DDC to market.

We are disappointed that we cannot offer this solution for male hypogonadism and to the transgender community, who have historically been marginalized by the medical and pharmaceutical community, stated Logomasini.

The testosterone treatment market is valued at 1.3 to 1.8 billion dollars annually. BLS Pharmas lost profits due to the breach of contract are estimated to be at least $72,900,000. All media inquiries should be directed to Jason Hartley of the Hartley LLP law firm at (619) 400-5822. For a copy of the complaint, email karen@fullkorrpress.com.

Less surprisingly, it appears that a meal high in saturated fat, namely McDonald's sausage, cheese and egg muffins, along with hash browns, should also be shunned by men trying to become dads.

These are the findings highlighted in a new pilot study on overweight and obese men undertaken by academics at the University of South Australia and Flinders University.

They claim their findings present a direct link between diet and testosterone showing that what men eat could affect their fundamental male sex hormone.

They also believe their study is the first to identify that a diet high in any type of fat including healthy mono-saturated fats such as olive oil negatively impacts testosterone production over as little as five hours, yet one supplemented with egg whites, and to a lesser extent whey protein, can positively affect serum testosterone.

Globally, infertility affects15 per cent of couples, with theWorld Health Organizationestimating that up to 25 per cent of couples in developing countries are affected. While the causes are many and varied, 20-30 per cent of the problems are attributed to male factors alone.

Lead researcher, Dr Karma Pearce, says the preliminary findings present controversial insights over the link between testosterone and healthy monounsaturated fat, which is popularly considered to be a component of a healthy diet, including the Mediterranean dietary pattern.

The paper states: Many previous studies have shown a consistent 2030 per cent reduction in testosterone levels following a mixed meal. However, for the first time, this interventional study has clearly shown that the nature of macronutrient intake significantly impacts on testosterone production. The first key finding of this study is that fat, in both PUFA and MUFA forms, or a mixed meal of PUFA and CHO significantly reduced serum testosterone production to a similar degree over a 5 hour period.

Dr Pearce added there was an assumption that good fats and bad fats perform as theyre described.

However,whats surprising, is that it wasnt the type of fat that mattered at all, as an equal amount of the good and bad fats significantly supressed testosterone production."

In this study we also found that consumingalbumen the protein in egg whites increased testosterone levels, and did so by four-fold relative to fasting, while albumin, combined with the bad saturated fat somewhat ameliorated the effect of the bad fats on testosterone levels, providing another diet-based influencer of testosterone levels, Dr Pearce added.

Indeed, the paper reveals that a mixed meal of egg albumin and PUFA, compared to PUFA consumed alone, was able to blunt the postprandial drop in testosterone by 65 per cent, with the largest differences observed within the first, fourth, and fifth hour.

In all, the study tested eight diet protocols (meals comprising polyunsaturated fat from soyabean; monounsaturated fat from olive oil; refined carbohydrate (orange juice); whey; egg white; and mixed meals of polyunsaturated fat and refined carbohydrate; polyunsaturated fat and egg white; refined carbohydrate (orange juice and egg white) with four blood tests/hormone analyses taken before eating and at every hour afterwards for five hours.

While the researchers acknowledge they have tested individual nutrients and the effects may be different in the context of whole food dietary patterns, their earlier work has shown that Western diets typified by fast food dietary pattern produced a 25 per cent decrease in serum testosterone within an hour of eating, with levels remaining suppressed below fasting baseline for up to fourhours.

We have previously shown that a standard high-fat McDonalds meal of two English muffins (sausage, egg, and cheese) and two hash browns, containing approximately 50g of total fat, also decreased serum testosterone production over a 5 hour period by 9.8 2.4 nmol/L, the paper states.

Dr Pearce says the study is one step in a series of work needed to support and enhance fertility.

While the study only analyses the impact of various dietary macronutrients on testosterone production, not sperm quality, the researchers believe the study results suggest at least the potential for diet to negatively impact on sperm production and fertility.

Its important to note that its still early days and more research needs to be done, particularly at looking at the effect of these nutrients in the context of whole food dietary patterns over the longer-term, Dr Pearce added

Ive been seeing Amy as a patient in our dental clinic for close to six years. She is sweet, kind, respectful, and brings her partner, Emily, with her each time she visits because she does not like to come to the dentist. Often her partner holds her hand and comforts her as I clean her teeth.

Ive seen Dan for five years. Dan is married to Ashley and they have a four-year-old daughter. They love coming to the dentist and they value their health. They are excellent parents, demonstrate love, and have tremendous respect for each other.

All of these patients are employed, happily living life together, and faithful about seeing me for their routine dental visits. Theyre no different from you and me; however, they have all chosen to make a major change in their livesgender identification or gender transition.

I provided their dental treatment through their transitions, and I watched as they went through hopelessness, struggle, happiness, and everything in between. Their process is not easy. As I worked with them, at times I felt like I didnt know how to talk with them, direct a conversation, or help them as their dental hygienist.

What I did know was that I wanted to respect their decisions, I wanted to encourage their health, and I wanted to make sure that we were able to create an environment of trust, love, and respect. What I didnt know was exactly how to accomplish that.

When Amy told me that she/he was transitioning from female to male I simply asked, I dont know what gender transition entails. Can you share what that means with me? He was very open about his transition, and actually cried when I asked him what it meant for him. He said, My sister has disowned me and wont let me see my nephew anymore, and the fact that you want more information is huge!

Amy, who asked that I call him Luke, explained that he had never felt comfortable with who he was. He felt that his whole life was a lie and that he was living a double life. He lived in a state of constant self-hatred and self-denial. When he chose to take this opportunity, it had been five years in the making. He read, investigated, prayed, Googled, and YouTubed anything he could get his hands on about gender identification and gender transition. He finally made the decision, knowing that not everyone would accept me, but I had to make that very personal choice for me and my happiness. His process is now six months along, and Luke told me that he is on tremendous doses of testosterone, is moody, and is basically going through puberty. But he also told me that hes the happiest hes ever been.

When Dan and Ashley told me that they are a nonbinary couple, I was like a deer in the headlights. What does that mean? Dan was in my chair, so I said, I want to be respectful and meet you where you are. Can you please explain what nonbinary means?

Dan explained, I dont identify with either male or female. Ever since I was a young boy, I could not grasp who I was. As a nonbinary, I prefer not to have a gender preference. Along those lines, could you please call me D instead of Dan? Also, if you could avoid calling me him or her, that would be great!

D went on the explain that theyd had their penis and testicles removed. They are now in the process of deciding whether or not they want to start estrogen therapy to make the transition from male to female. Ashley was also there and said, Yes, I would greatly appreciate it if you would call me Ash, not Ashley. Ashs story is very similar in that they did not like who they were as a female. They had been thinking about transitioning for the past 10 years.

As I asked more questions, I realized that name identification is important because it helps people start the process of changing their identity. However, not all gender and nonbinary people choose to change their names. Each person is very individual in their process. For the dental office, its important that all of the staff know about any name changes in order to maintain consistency and make the patient feel comfortable. Intake forms and computer input can be changed to someones preferred name as this helps continuity of preference and shows respect for the patients.

Judgment, criticism, and misinformation surround this process and journey. Some providers choose to avoid a conversation because of fear of saying the wrong thing. Also, there may be a bias based on upbringing, religious viewpoint, or other backgrounds. If possible, try to lay aside personal feelings and address the patient as if they were your own son or daughter.

Transphobia is a real issue. It is stressful for the people going through transitions. Transphobia is the fear, disbelief, hatred, or mistrust that someone exhibits toward anyone going through a transition. Transphobia can take many forms, including negative attitudes, aversion to transgender people, irrational fear and misunderstanding, discounting preferred pronouns and gender identity, derogatory language and name calling, bullying, abuse, and even violence.1 It can take place in a dental office, and it can be as simple as saying to a coworker, Did you see that shemale? Or What was that person? We have to be careful to be kind and respectful.

I asked Luke, How can I best serve you as you transition? If the patient is openand I find that most of them aresimply asking for more information in an effort to make them comfortable creates an open dialogue and fosters a safe environment for growth, trust, and acceptance. Luke gave me specific examples on how I could relate and help him as he transitioned.

Its important to address them in a manner that validates who they are. When D and Ash asked that I not use the pronouns him or her I thought, this is going to be tough. I challenge you not to say lady, man, girl, boy, him, or her during a conversation. Its hard. I made the mistake of saying to Ash, like I say to most of my female patients, OK, lady, our work here is done. Ash wasnt upset, but I said, Im sorry. Please know that from now on, if I say anything that offends you, Im not trying to. Ash was very pleased that I was trying to understand their position. They even laughed, Its OK. It happens all the time. I find that interjecting their names, such as Ash instead of she or her, eliminates the need for a gender label mishap.

I learned one of the first clinical aspects of transitioning is hormone therapy, which led some patients to struggle with gum inflammation and tissue response changes. High doses of testosterone or estrogen therapy is a first line of treatment during a transition. When working with patients, I noticed tender gums, gums that bled easily, and edematous tissues. Talking openly with patients about hormone therapy and possible oral effects is important. Collaborating with medical doctors can help during their process. In Lukes case, with a history of periodontal disease and its untoward effects, we decided to ask the medical doctor if it would be possible to lower the testosterone dose. As a result, we saw lowered bleeding indices.

When I started navigating gender, gender identification, nonbinary, and binary, I learned there is a lot of information available. We have to remember that gender terms do not always reference sexual preference. Gender and sex are two different things. There are terms and meanings that can help. Some include cisgender, cross-dresser (CD), drag queen, drag king, gender dysphoria, gender fluidity, gender nonconforming, gender nonbinary, genderqueer, intersex, transgender (also trans), transgender man, and transgender woman. Some of the outdated terms that may be perceived as offensive are gender identity disorder, hermaphrodite, pre-op or post-op (transgender does not always mean a surgical intervention), sex change operation (the preferred term is sex reassignment surgery or SRS), shemale, tranny, transsexual, or transgendered.2

In our attempts to use the right terms, avoid the wrong terms, validate, support, and collaborate, we will fall. As we navigate gender and gender identification infrastructure, we wont always get it right. As long as we seek to educate, gain proper information and insight, communicate effectively with our patients, and lay aside our personal feelings, we then can walk harmoniously with our patients who are going through the difficult journey of transitioning.
