Ruminations from a Lifeguard Stand
Get PDFNothing brings me peace quite like sunlight hitting pool water. Something about the shimmering lattice pattern it casts on the cerulean pool bottom transports me to a mental realm where joy and freedom abound. Then, a cloud comes in and reminds me that I’m sitting eight feet in the air on a rickety lifeguard stand for a whopping hourly wage of $7.25, and the peace is gone. Screaming children run rampant, their parents blissfully oblivious as they chat with their feet dangling into the country-club-heated water. The resounding metallic clang of the diving board reverberates through my ears, followed by a dramatic splash. My fellow lifeguards who are lucky enough to be on their break scroll on their phones under the extended roof of the poolhouse, sheltered from the sweltering heat, munching on chips and chocolate bars likely stolen from the snack stand..

Nigerians in poverty consume little wheat and wheat self-sufficiency programmes will not protect them from price shocks related to the Russia–Ukraine conflict
No full textThe Russia–Ukraine conflict has prompted calls for resource diversification and wheat self-sufficiency programmes in import-dependent regions. Here we show that this approach would have minimal impact on poor Nigerians as wheat constitutes only 4% of their total food consumption and 8% of their starchy staple consumption. In contrast, millets, rice, cassava and tubers are ten times more important—highlighting the need for careful consideration of country-context consumption patterns in response to external food system shocks
Examining The Effectiveness Of Body-Weight Supported Treadmill Training On Children Under 21 With Cerebral Palsy
Get PDFIntroduction & Purpose
Cerebral Palsy is a disorder characterized by abnormal muscle tone, postural dysfunction, gait dysfunction, and abnormal movement patterns.
This disease affects children worldwide, specifically about 2-3 children out of every 1,000 in the USA as well as about 500,000 children under 18 total.
Early intervention for development of gross motor function is highly important when considering improvement in functional capabilities.
The research shows that utilization of body-weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) in children aged 0-21 with cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most effective ways in developing gross motor function

Religious Orientation and Coping in Third Culture Kids
Get PDFThis study examines the correlation between religious orientation and religious coping in Third Culture Kids (TCKs). Young adult TCKs often struggle with their identity, mental health, and cultural adjustment during the reentry process. Despite the unique struggles TCKs experience, very little research has been done on this population. Religion may play a role in the reentry process as support, challenge, or way of coping. The present study examines religion in TCKs through the lens of motivation, using the Religious Orientation Scale (ROS), which measures intrinsic and extrinsic religious orientation, and the Brief RCOPE, which measures positive and negative religious coping. Intrinsic religious orientation was found to be positively correlated with positive religious coping, and negatively correlated with negative coping. Extrinsic religious orientation was not found to be significantly correlated to negative or positive religious coping.
