A man has been arrested after a horrified driver released footage of his £100k Aston Martin being keyed, police said.
The luxury car's on board camera filmed a man approaching the vehicle at around 10.10am.
He then appears to take his keys from his pocket before scraping them down the passenger side of the vehicle.
Once he has located his keys, he pulls the cover down on the baby's pushchair and heads slowly towards the V8 Vantage sports car.
Clutching the keys in his left hand, he then appears to drag them down the side of the posh motor - causing a whopping £9,000 worth of damage.
The horrified driver had only nipped out to the shops in Morning Lane, Hackney, when he says his car was vandalised.
Police today confirmed they arrested a 48-year-old man on suspicion of criminal damage.

Electronic health record systems score in the bottom 9th percentile of technologies when evaluated for usability, according to a recent study published in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
That's a problem, because physicians who rate their EHR experience poorly are more likely to report symptoms of burnout, study authors wrote.
"If an interface isn't designed thoughtfully and carefully for a user's needs, it can add to the cognitive load of completing a task," said Dr. Ted Melnick, the study's lead author and assistant professor of emergency medicine at Yale School of Medicine. His previous research has looked at developing and testing systems for the emergency department, applying user-centered design principles.
In the study, EHRs earned an average score of 45 on the system usability scale, a standard metric used to measure technology usability on a scale of 0 to 100. The scale, which is already used widely in industries outside of healthcare, asks users to respond to 10 prompts to assess their view of how efficient or complex a system—in this case, EHRs—is to use.
Researchers invited a random sample of 1,250 physicians from the American Medical Association's physician master file to respond to a system usability scale questionnaire on EHRs in late 2017 and early 2018; 870 of whom completed the survey.
When benchmarking EHRs' score of 45 across previous research on other technologies, the researchers found EHRs fell in the bottom 9th percentile—earning a grade of F.
That suggests that EHRs "as currently designed, implemented and regulated, lack usability as a necessary feature, resulting in EHRs that are extremely hard to use compared to other common technologies," AMA President Dr. Patrice Harris said in a statement. The AMA was a collaborator on the study.
Other technologies that EHRs were benchmarked against included Google's search function, which scored a 93, and microwaves, which scored an 87, according to previous research employing the system usability scale. That earned Google searches and microwaves grades of A and B, respectively.

Lately in American culture we have seen an uptick in fitness based foods and drinks as a means to a healthier lifestyle. Heck even electronics are getting into the fitness business too. So what people want to know is this: is fruit juice really better for you than soda? The question is one that receives a healthy amount of debate in social circles. We all have either had or know parents that won’t allow soda in the household. The logic seems full proof to those that simply take a glance at what they are consuming. How could orange juice be worse for me than a carbonated soda? The answer is complex and very interesting and those of you that read on will be sure to agree.
Fruit juice is a huge source of sugar. Just take a look at the back of the label and you will realize that even some of the smaller juice packets can contain up to 15 grams of sugar in a single serving. In many cases the sugar amount is equal or higher than that of a single serving of soda.
2. Lack of Fiber
While fruits do contain lots of sugar both in the juice and physical form they have one primary difference. A physical fruit also contains tons of fiber that help the liver convert that energy into something useful. When you juice or blend (think smoothie) a fruit you are shredding that fiber to smithereens and destroying any benefit it once had and there is virtually no fiber in juice itself. By consuming fruits whole, you will kill cravings as well as consuming a healthier amount of natural sugar.
Believe it or not but many fruit juices can pack more calories into a single serving than you would find in a single serving of soda. This is a fact that we can double check just by walking into an everyday grocery store. The beverage companies really have a penchant for marketing their drinks in any way they choose regardless of the realities.
4. Amount of Juice
In many cases the fruit juices you purchase contain less than 10% fruit juice. These numbers are shocking to many as some of their favorite “juice” companies are part of the problem. This issue stems from the fact that the FDA allows any drink with even 1% of fruit juice to call itself fruit juice.
Well I wouldn’t go cutting juice out of your diet entirely after reading this article. What I want my reader to take away from this article is more a lesson about moderation. Instead of drinking fruit juice for breakfast lunch and dinner try to make it a breakfast only item. This causes a twofold benefit. First you will be taking in less sugar on a daily basis and secondly you will be getting that sugary energy when you really need it: at the start of each day.
This rigid routine is good for those will very high levels of self-control, but what about advice for those of us that simply love our orange juice? Well there is also another simple solution, water it down. The advice is so simple it’s easy to forget. By simply adding water to your juices you will not only extend the life of that juice but you will also give your liver a much easier time when it comes to breaking up the actual liquid. Just remember that while your drink might be a little less sweet it will also be much healthier for you.

An FBI complaint, citing screenshots from the video, asked that a warrant be issued charging Keller with knowingly entering a restricted building without lawful authority and attempting to impede an official government function.
Thousands of supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol during a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6 while lawmakers met to formalize the victory of President-elect Joe Biden.
Fact check: No, impeachment itself would not ban Trump from a 2024 presidential run
The 38-year-old Keller competed in the 2000, 2004 and 2008 Summer Olympics. He captured two golds and a silver as a member of the 4x200-meter freestyle relay, as well as a pair of individual bronzes in the 400 free.

Report: Notorious Landlord Michael Shah Arrested Twice for Allegedly Assaulting Girlfriend then Violating Protection Order
The news comes to light in a New York Post article that focuses more on Shah’s recent filing of a complaint related to a summertime “attack” in which Bhavana Chamoli, an aspiring actress and investment researcher for MIO Partners, “stomped on his left foot with her stiletto heel and slapped him in the face at least three times.”
But the Post article buries the lede.
Specifically the part about the September 29 incident. Chamoli had called the cops on Shah, saying that he “shoved her into a wall and the floor, causing a split lip and bruising at his Union Square apartment.” The millionaire landlord was later arrested and reportedly charged with misdemeanor assault, attempted assault and aggravated harassment.
Shah insisted that his girlfriend was the aggressor, alleging to cops at the time that she flipped and shattered a glass coffee table, then destroyed a $2,000 chandelier before punching him in the head.
Nevertheless, a Manhattan Criminal Court judge issued an order of protection barring him from any contact with Chamoli. The couple did briefly reconcile in apparent violation of the order, according to the report, and he apparently bought her an $11,000 Cartier bracelet.
This month, though, Shah was reportedly arrested for first-degree criminal contempt for violating the order of protection after she called police and claimed he’d allegedly hit her in the face.
It’s worth noting Shah’s public relations rep is Harvey Weinstein’s spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer.

FX Update: Volatility pick-up is there, if sluggish and patchy.
Head of FX Strategy
Summary: FX volatility is picking up as US yields have posted a strong move higher over the past week and volatility in risky assets has spiked, particularly yesterday, but the rise is so far rather muted outside of a significant jolt to sterling yesterday. That could change if the US dollar finally takes out key resistance, although it still feels like FX is a follower here, not a leader.
FX Trading focus: Volatility picking up, but still quite sluggish. Sterling stumbling.
Implied volatilities among currency pairs are a slightly mixed bag here over the last couple of weeks of heightened volatility in risky assets – EURUSD 1-month volatility actually bottomed last Friday below 4.6% and ahead of the weekend election, which gives a sense of how little the market was anticipating that particular event. With EURUSD poking at the bottom of the range, it has picked back up above 4.9%, but that is a historically very low level. Elsewhere, volatility has picked up more, with USDJPY 1-month hitting its high level since July just below 6% before easing back lower (that volatility measure was as low as sub-5% less than a week ago). Sterling volatility has picked up more sharply. As I mention in the EURUSD chart below, the setup that could really jolt volatility might be a further risk deleveraging in which bond yields actually stay sidelined or even fall rather than rise, which might turn the tables again on JPY traders. Until then, the FX market feels quite sluggish outside of the sterling and JPY moves of late.
Yesterday, sterling hit a brick wall and fell sharply versus both the US dollar and the euro, taking out key support for the currency. I suspect the chief driver is sterling’s general sensitive to risk sentiment, its vulnerability in terms of the ongoing energy crunch and prices of commodity imports, and a UK economy beset with capacity constraints, while the furlough scheme is set to lift, which could mean a slowing of the recovery. In the pipeline, we have a government that looks determined to ensure that it shores up the budget imbalance, i.e., austerity incoming. GBPUSD fell through the key 1.3600 area and is already having a look at the huge 1.3500 level that was important in both 2019 and 2020. EURGBP, for its part, reversed the modest kneejerk reaction to the downside in the wake of the German election and ripped above the range of the last several weeks and well clear of the 0.8600 level. The pair is trading near the 200-day moving average (from below) for the first time since early January.
Chart: EURUSD – what’s with the slow-mo act?
I suspect there are a couple of drivers of muted EURUSD volatility over the last few sessions, relative to what we have seen elsewhere. First, the market quickly unwound the slightly negative reaction to the euro in the wake of the German election, at least in EURGBP, where the Monday sell-off was swamped with a massive rise yesterday that cleared several weeks of range-trading. Second, the focus on rising yields has meant more focus on selling JPY rather than the euro, where yields are seen as capable of responding in sympathy, if with lower beta, to the rise in US treasury yields, while the Japanese policy of yield control keeps the JPY the weakest whenever yields rise. So that begs the question of what could cause a EURUSD sell-off to extend notably below the 1.1664 support. It appears that this would require a chunky further risk deleveraging without the proximate cause being a . That would allow both EURUSD and EURJPY to come under pressure and set up the run at the structural support in EURUSD, which starts with the 1.1500 area and extends to the arguably existential level of support at 1.1290, the 61.8% retracement of the entire rally from post-pandemic outbreak lows to the highs in January. A strong turn in the mood/reversal needed to neutralize the downside threat.
In Japan, LDP chooses the “safe” candidate: The race for the LDP leadership is over, with the favourite among party leaders, Fumio Kishida, prevailing in a run-off versus the more outspoken, and far more popular Taro Kono, who would have been more interesting as someone who has spoken out against Abenomics and BoJ policy. This sidelines the potential for more policy dynamism for now in Japan as Kishida is seen as the “continuity” candidate. The JPY has firmed smartly today more as a function of consolidating bond yields rather than the implications of this vote, as we await further political signals up to the snap election set to take place within two months.
US Senate to try advancing stop-gap funding measure to avoid government shutdown: US Senate set to vote today on stop-gap bill for temporary debt ceiling suspension until Dec. 3 - this time, the bill will not be attached to an increase in the debt ceiling, but would still leave unanswered whether Congress can manage to eventually raise the debt ceiling and pass the two outstanding spending bills – the smaller infrastructure packaged passed by the Senate but not by the House and the larger $3.5 trillion social- and climate package.
China keeping CNH very firm: given the policy uncertainties in China that are leading to fears of weaker growth ahead and reduction of international allocations to Chinese equities, one would think that the CNH should trade weaker than it has, particularly as the US dollar has been very firm and the CNH has historically been allowed to weaken, if with lower beta relative to other currencies, versus the USD when the latter is strengthening. Perhaps China is holding up the currency out of a general desire for stability amidst the significant market turmoil of late and at the margin, to avoid even worse inflationary impact from high import prices for commodities as it tries to shore up energy stocks ahead of the winter heating season. For whatever reason, the lack of USDCNH is likely contributing a significant damper to overall FX volatility. USDCNH 3-month implied volatility is trading just above 4% and thus in the lower part of the of the multi-year range.
Table: FX Board of G10 and CNH trend evolution and strength
What stands out above all else recently is the CNH’s slavish tracking of the US dollar, given the latter’s notable strength of late, as noted above. The chief development of note elsewhere is the acceleration, if still modest, in the US dollar higher and the pronounced sterling weakness. Commodity currencies are sideways on the tension between the negative drag from risk sentiment while rising prices are a positive.
Table: FX Board Trend Scoreboard for individual pairs
Note the still low volatility levels for most currency pairs (the shading of the ATR indicates low volatility if light blue or especially darker blue). Also note USDCAD possibly flipping back higher here, while GBP weakness is so pronounced that it has even flipped negative versus the also weak JPY.

Recently, the San Francisco aconite poisoning incident has caused public panic and social concern, as well as anxiety among Chinese medicine practitioners. To properly investigate this incident, eliminate public fear of taking aconite, and negative impact on Chinese medicine, and help mainstream society further its understanding and confidence in traditional Chinese medicine, the American Association of Chinese medicine is providing knowledge of the Chinese herb, aconite.
Aconite is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine. It can also be called sliced aconite, salted aconite, black aconite, and white aconite. Aconitum is the root of the “Wutou” Ranunculaceae Aconitum carmichaeli Debx. It is produced in Jiangyou County in Sichuan province, China. There are 336 counties and cities and 10 provinces, including Shanxi, Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei, Gansu, Yunnan, Guangxi, Jiangxi, and Anhui that are suitable for aconite production. The nature of aconite is spicy, sweet, hot, and toxic. It goes to the heart, kidney, and spleen meridians. The indications for aconite use include the following: rescue Yang, tonify fire to raise Yang energy, and eliminate cold to stop pain. It is called “the number one first aid medicine to restore the Yang from dying.”
Aconite is effective for the following: it is widely used to treat shock from death of Yang; extremely cold limbs and faint pulse; impotence; cold uterus; cold pain at heart, stomach, and abdomen; cold vomiting and diarrhea; cold edema; Yang deficiency; exogenous, cold and damp pain; subcutaneous ulcer sore; and all chronic severe cold diseases.
Usage and dosage:
Aconite is toxic when eaten raw. It must be cooked and properly processed. The general processing methods include these: Toasting, soaking, steaming, and boiling. Clinically used forms include toasted aconite or steamed aconite. After the preparation of aconite, toxicity is greatly reduced, but not fully eliminated, so aconite must be clinically used with caution, especially with regards to dosage. Though 3-15 grams is the typical range used, 18-30 grams may be used to rescue life from Yang collapse.
The boiling time is from one hour to one and a half hours. The purpose is to reduce the toxicity of aconite. For safety reasons, before taking it, one should get advice from a Chinese medicine practitioner who has been professionally trained. Chinese medicine practitioners generally use aconite in conjunction with other Chinese medicines in a single herbal formula prescription to inhibit the toxicity of aconite and to boost the effectiveness or function of aconite.
Attention and prohibition:
Pregnant women and breastfeeding women are prohibited from taking aconite. Aconite cannot be used with Pinellia, Trichosanthes, trichosanthin, Fritillaria, Ampelopsis japonica, or tubes of hyacinth bletilla. The toxic component of aconite, aconitine, mainly acts on the myocardium, vagus nerve, and peripheral nerve excitation, resulting in poisoning symptoms such as tongue numbness, limb numbness, tingling, dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, and vomiting. Severe aconite poisoning may lead to death. When people use herbal formulas containing aconite, they must pay attention to dosage of aconite, and the intake methods: never drink cold water or wine soaked with Aconite; must cook the herbal formula with drinking water for a long time to eliminate aconite toxicity, and so that its treatment becomes effective.
Poisoning treatment procedures:
Go to a nearby hospital emergency department or call 911 for help.
Chinese medicine procedures:
Chinese medicine with green beans or honeysuckle can detoxify. Treatment of aconitine poisoning prescription is sweet soil mung bean soup, which includes the following: licorice 100g, soil Fuling 50g, and mung bean 50g. Licorice root can inhibit the toxicity of aconitine, as aconitine’s antidote.
Western medicine procedures:
1, toxicology confrontation: the key is to use atropine in the early stage with adequate, repeatedly maintaining the principle of atropinization, timely heart auscultation and ECG examination to find any cardiac damage that can be quickly treated.
2, the protection of heart damage: aconitine poisoning the heart is mainly through the excitement of the vagus nerve and myocardial damage caused by the clinical manifestations of arrhythmia and conduction blockage. Ventricular arrhythmias like Ventricular premature beats, often multi-source, pleomorphic, premature atrial contraction, premature ventricular contraction, atrial fibrilation, sinus bradycardia, duo-Ventricular premature beats, and triple-Ventricular premature beats are also more common; Lidocaine used for ventricular premature beat treatment is effective.
3, the treatment of complications: the key to treatment of complications is to correctly deal with pulmonary edema, brain edema, arrhythmia and dilution of the contradiction between the toxins. A large number of infusions is one of the measures to rescue, on the one hand fasting patients need to add calories and electrolytes, and on the other hand toxins can be diluted.
- Clinical application:
4.1. To rescue one from yang collapse, which usually has sets of symptoms of either faint pulse, spontaneous cold sweat throughout the entire body, and extremely cold limbs; or extreme sweat, vomiting, and life-threatening Yang collapse. Aconite is often used with ginseng, ginger, and roasted licorice root. If the non-stop sweating and Yang collapse become life threatening, besides aconite and ginseng, keel (Long Gu) and oyster shells must be added. If heavy bleeding is causing extremely cold limbs, sweating, and faint pulse, then ginseng, ginger, aconite, and oyster shell can be used with Ophiopogon japonicus (Mai Dong), and Schisandra chinensis (Wu Wei Zi) to rescue one from Yin and Yang collapse.
4.2. For kidney deficiency, aversion to cold, extremely cold limbs, weak spleen yang, abdominal pain, and loose stools. Deficient kidney Yang causes weak life gate fire, aversion to cold, cold limbs, impotence, and frequent urination; aconite can be used with cinnamon, Rehmannia, seed of cuscuta sinensis, and cornus. If weak spleen yang, stomach and abdomen cold pain, loose stool or diarrhea, aconite can be used with Codonopsis, Atractylodes, dried ginger, and roasted licorice root.
4.3. For the wind cold dampness Bi syndrome, whole body pain, joint pain and arthritis, aconite can be used with Cassia Twig (Gui Zhi) and other hebs.
- Modern pharmacological effects associated with aconite efficacy:
5.1. Strengthening the heart
Aconite can enhance myocardial contractility, speed up heart rate, cardiac output, and increase myocardial oxygen consumption.
5.2. Effects on blood vessels and blood pressure
Aconite can either increase or decrease blood pressure depending on its percentage of components.
Heart-kidney yang vacuity causes extremely cold limbs, faint pulse, and similar symptoms to modern medicine shock.
5.4. Anti-cardiac arrhythmia
Aconite has a significant effect on anti-bradycardia.
5.5. Anti-cold, improve the ability to withstand hypoxia
5.6. Have anti-inflammatory, analgesic effect
5.7. Other pharmacological effects include sedation, calming spirit and local anesthesia
- Aconite diet therapeutic values:
Usage: in case of yang collapse, spontaneous sweating, cold limbs, faint pulse, kidney yang deficiency, impotence, frequent urination, cold uterus infertility, spleen-kidney yang deficiency, abdomen cold pain, loose stool diarrhea, yang deficiency edema, inhibited urination, cold damp pain (Bi), and cold joint pain
Method: cook 15g of aconite over an hour until it does not taste spicy; prepare porridge, cooked aconite and other vegetables.
Caution: the toxicity of aconite is due to alkali inside Aconitum carmichaeli Debx. (Aconite is the only ingredient that has toxins to be eliminated.) However, extended cooking of aconite will eliminate the toxicity, so consumers must follow the correct cooking directions for their safety. Aconite can also be used to treat Yang collapse or Yang diversion, but it is better to get treated by a doctor.
Aconite porridge: processed aconite 10g, fried or roasted ginger 15g, rice 100g. Grind processed aconite and fried ginger into powder of which 5g is added into rice cooked as porridge. In addition half of the two herbs can be boiled for at least 1.5 hours with water, then mixed with the rice porridge.
According to the <> formula, aconite is used to warm the interior to dispel cold. Fried or roasted ginger warms the middle jiao to dispel and stop diarrhea. It is used to treat interior cold, abdomen pain, diarrhea, and loose stool.
Aconite mutton soup: processed Aconite 25g, mutton 1000g. Lamb or mutton meat is washed, cut into pieces, removed of bloody water, cooked with aconite slices in boiling water. After, add raw ginger, onions, pepper, and salt, and cook until the meat is well cooked. The aconite mutton soup makes four servings.
This formula uses slices of aconite to warm kidney to raise Yang, supplemented by mutton meat which warms kidney yang, and raw ginger and pepper, which are helpful to yang qi (energy). The formula also treats cold limbs due to yang deficiency, frequent urination at night, abdominal cold pain, and low back pain.
Porridge with the Aconite slice Jobstears Seed: slices of aconite 10g, Jobstears Seed 30g, rice 100g. Boil Aconite slices with water for at least 1.5 hours, then add Jobstears Seed and rice, and cook porridge. This produces two servings.
In this formula, slices of Aconite dispel cold to stop pain, Jobstears Seeds remove dampness and relax the tendons. It is used to treat wind cold dampness Bi, joint pain, and muscle spasms.
From ancient times to the present day aconite has both medical and therapeutic effects. A famous Chinese medicine professor at The Yunnan Chinese Medicine University, Rongzu Wu is the author of many books about “Yunnan Huo (fire) Shen Branch” (云南火神派), and also third generation successor. His grandfather, Mr. Peiheng Wu, is one of the four well-known doctors in the Yunnan province. He was well known as “Fuzi Wu” because he mastered the use of aconite. He was recognized as the pioneer of Chinese medicine herbal formula as well as the founder of Yunnan Huo Shen Branch. He was the author of << Peiheng Wu medical clinical case study >>, << Peiheng Wu Chinese medicine top ten master talk >>, << Aconite (FuZi) pharmacological and clinical application >>, and << Chinese herbal medicine briefing >>. He summarized the distinctions between cold and heat syndromes with sixteen word tips: cold symptoms are demonstrated by “feeling heavy and extreme cold, lying down with closed eyes, low voice and short of breath, lack of speech and qi (energy)”; heat syndromes are demonstrated by “feeling light, aversion to heat, insomnia with eyes open, loud voice, bad breath with coarse breathing”. Because he emphasized the importance of yang qi (energy), he was good at using aconite. Therefore, he left behind many medical clinical experiences for the next generation of “Shen Huo (fire) branch” students to learn.
About the toxicity of aconite, Mr. Wu Rongzu answered the Shenzhen Crystal Newspaper question “Your grandfather Mr. Wu Peiheng was well known to use aconite, but we know that aconite itself is toxic. This is also the dialectical thinking of Chinese medicine?” by replying “Yes, Aconite is like Electricity: lightning which can kill people, but if you can tame or manipulate it, it can benefit mankind. Aconite is an excellent herb to treat cold disease, but it worsens heat disease. Because applying aconite on patient with hot disease is like adding fuel to fire. Syndrome differentiation is the core of Chinese medicine, and is also the essential elements of traditional Chinese medicine”.
In the 1980s, there was a popular saying: “The Wu family cooked a huge pot of aconite all day long for the patients to use. When the last patient left, they put the rest of the aconite on the dining table as food. This may sound a bit exaggerated, but day and night people continued to wait at the door of the Wu’s. This is a fact. But “Wu aconite” and his descendants’ creative application of aconite make it a legend of traditional Chinese medicine.

Masirana glabra (Komatsu, 1957)
Taxonomy & Nomenclature
Synonym/s: Sarutana glabra Komatsu, 1957 (basionym)
The genus Sarutana (with S. glabra as the type species) was synonymised with Masirana by (Irie & Ono, 2005).
Rediscovered at the type locality after 65 years, on 4 March 2022 (Ballarin & Eguchi, 2022).
Saruta-dô cave, Kochi Prefecture, Shikoku, Japan
"M. glabra shows clear morphological adaptations for the life in dark, subterranean habitats such as depigmentation, reduction of eyes and elongation of legs."
(Ballarin & Eguchi, 2022:57)
Biology & Ecology
"Notes on habitat and ecology. Specimens used in this study were collected in the dark zone of the upper branch of the cave, approximately 30 m far from the secondary entrance, in a humid area (temp: 15°C, humidity: 91.8%) with clay and large rocks on the floor (Fig. 14). Adult and juveniles were observed spinning simple irregular webs in narrow recesses of the walls of the cave and in empty spaces between the rocks on the floor... Komatsu (1961, pp. 40, 43) suggested that Masirana glabra is a permanent cave-dwelling spider only living in the inner section of the cave. Our observations mentioned above further support M. glabra as a true troglobiont."
(Ballarin & Eguchi, 2022:56,57)
Originally described from a single male (Komatsu, 1957), the species' rediscovery resulted in a further male and the first two females of the species to be collected (Ballarin & Eguchi, 2022:54).

Concussions: How They Can Affect You in the Present and Future
Brain injury is a serious issue. But when you think about it, you likely imagine a devastating cause such as a bad fall, a traffic accident, or even a nasty blow during a fight.
But the thing is, brain injury happens a lot more often, just in a milder form that’s generally ignored. That mild form of brain injury is called a concussion.
Concussions are common in sports but even more common after a car accident due to the sudden movements that cause the brain to shift in its place.
Are concussions serious?
If you sustain a concussion, say, after a car accident, don’t take it lightly. Get treated immediately. You even have the right to compensation.
Realize that you can’t be certain about the extent of the injury, as concussions have short-term and long-term consequences.
Short-Term Effects of Concussions
Following a concussion, you begin to experience immediate effects that may last a few hours, days, or even weeks. These are known as short-term effects, and they include:
You may notice confusion after a concussion. It’s a common effect of brain trauma, which manifests as the inability to understand or make sense of what’s happening around you. As a short-term problem, the issue generally goes away.
A headache is an expected response to brain injury. Concussions generally cause violent movement of the brain in its space, and such a disturbance may result in a headache.
You may also experience headaches due to damage to the cells, so it’s crucial to receive immediate medical care after a concussion to ascertain the extent of the damage.
Vision problems can accompany concussions because of the intricate relationship between your eyes and your brain. Considering the signals in the brain are what allow you to perceive things, trauma, even a mild one, can tamper with the process.
Loss of Memory
Concussions also lead to memory loss, and because your brain is your body’s central processing unit, you may find that you can’t remember things well enough. This may last a short while, or it could be recurring.
You may also have difficulties concentrating days or even weeks after sustaining a concussion. Loss of focus is an issue you may not notice right away.
Sensitivity to Light
One of the most reported symptoms of a concussion is sensitivity to light. You can relieve the discomfort associated with photosensitivity using glasses and eye drops.
Long-Term Effects of Concussions
The serious side of concussions is the real likelihood of long-term brain damage.
According to findings by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, damage to the brain as a result of a concussion can last for decades after the accident.
While short-term effects set in almost immediately and fade away after a while, long-term effects can take a while, even years, to materialize. Such cases generally mean the concussion has led to serious brain damage.
Let’s take a look at what the long-term effects of concussions look like:
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy
While rare, concussions can lead to a serious condition called chronic traumatic encephalopathy, which is basically a slow but steady degeneration of brain tissue.
A lot about the condition is still unknown, but experts have linked it to damage caused by concussion, especially repeated incidents of concussion.
Permanent Memory Loss
Memory loss is usually a short-term effect, but you can also develop long-term memory loss due to post-concussion syndrome. These symptoms tend to persist beyond the expected recovery period.
While most people recover from long-term memory loss through therapy and medications, the loss of memory can also be permanent.
Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that causes involuntary movements, can also occur because of a concussion. Developing Parkinson’s later in life is a genuine risk for individuals who suffer concussions since the disease is caused by damage to the nerve cells.
Alzheimer’s disease is yet another brain disorder that can occur later in life as a result of a concussion.
The disease causes degeneration of brain cells leading to a progressive decline in mental functions. One of the causes of Alzheimer’s disease is brain trauma.
The brain is a delicate organ. Any form of injury to it, even a mild one like a concussion, can have serious consequences. Hopefully, this post has shown you what could happen at present and in the future after a concussion.

A teacher from a local school is being accused of racism after she was accused of having “bigoted views”.
The teacher was suspended after her Facebook post attracted criticism.
A white woman has been accused of “bigotry” after she posted a video of herself teaching a maths class.
In the video, she describes a white woman and a black man as “needy”, “frauds” and “thieves”.
A number of teachers and students have also called for the teacher to be removed from the school.
The video has been viewed over 10,000 times on Facebook and received widespread condemnation.
“There’s a real sense of injustice in this country, and it’s not just about white people,” Teacher Baren Williams told the BBC News website.
“There are people of colour, women, LGBTQIA people, people of different ethnicities, people who are indigenous.
This is a really important lesson for all of us, and to me, it’s just a really, really good lesson for people to learn.
It’s a lesson for me because my own children have struggled, and I know that I’ve been able to teach them from a very young age.”
A report published by the Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI) said that the video “reveals a clear and persistent pattern of exclusion”.
It said the video was filmed at a private school in the town of Wokingham, in the Yorkshire region of England.
Mr Williams said the teacher, who he does not name, had been accused by a number of other students of “harassment” and of “racism”.
“I’ve been told by a lot of people that they don’t like my opinions,” he said.
He said the videos of teachers were “absolutely appalling”. “
That’s the most common response.”
He said the videos of teachers were “absolutely appalling”.
In a statement, HEPI said: “We are absolutely appalled by this incident and we are investigating it thoroughly.
We are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive and respectful learning environment for all students in our schools.
HEPA will continue to monitor the situation and ensure that the rights of all students are protected.”
In response to the teacher’s alleged racism, a number of teachers and students have called for her to be fired.
‘Not a teacher that I would expect’A number other teachers and teachers who responded to the Facebook post on the teacher were not surprised by the reaction.
They said they were “pretty surprised” by the video’s widespread circulation.
Teachers said they had not heard of the video being taken down.
Baren Williams, who teaches a maths course at the school, told the ABC the teacher had been accused of “racial and sexist” comments and of having bigoted opinions.
He told the broadcaster: “I’ve heard this before but I didn’t expect this to spread so widely and to be such a big deal.
If the teachers and the students in my class had received any criticism or criticism at all about the way they were taught, they would have taken it seriously.
I think the teachers, in my own school, would have come to the same conclusion as well.”
‘There is no room for racism’In a Facebook post, the teacher said she had been “proud” of her school and the people who were involved in it.
She said she hoped the videos would encourage teachers and pupils to be more inclusive and “not a teacher I would ever expect to teach”.
She added: “This is my opportunity to say thank you to all the people who have worked so hard for my success and I will never forget the kindness of those who have supported me and the people I have taught.”
Ms Williams said she was concerned that her video would have an effect on her teaching.
“If my video has had an impact on teachers, I don’t think it is fair to ask teachers to give it up for the good of all,” she said.
‘I just wanted to get a word in’Another teacher, Emma Lee, said she believed the video of Ms Williams had been made “to try and make the situation worse for her”.
Ms Lee told the Daily Mail: “It’s definitely not a teacher who I would expect to teach at all.
To me, she was just another student.”
She told the ABC: “To me she just had this a lot of issues going on in her life, which is why she had her own personal issues, her own mental health issues and her own family issues.”‘

More genocidal horrors have been revealed in Communist China’s remote Xinjiang province by an exiled gynecologist claiming to have taken part in 80 or more forced sterilizations each day on local Uighur women.
Interviewed in Istanbul, Turkey, where she’s lived in exile since 2011, Dr. Gülgine (only name given) described that the procedures “took about five minutes each, but the women were crying because they did not know what was happening to them.”
Japan Forward reports that “Gülgine herself carried out sterilizations at a hospital in Urumqi, capital of the autonomous region” of Xinjiang, where some 12-plus million ethnic Uighurs live.
“Autonomous region” ought to come with scare quotes, because the Communist thugs who rule from far-away Beijing have been indulging in a slow-motion genocide in Xinjiang for a generation or longer.
ASIDE: I’m old school, so I don’t approve of just writing “China” when what I really mean is “the Communist government of mainland China, not the well-run Republic of China on Taiwan.” But that’s an awful lot for me to type each time I refer to China, and even worse for you to read. So please understand that in this article, every instance of “China” refers to the vile Communist government on the mainland.
The numbers in the Japan Forward report are horrifying:
Since 2014, the number of residents who were sterilized in the autonomous region had increased rapidly, according to Chinese government statistics. As of 2018, there were about 60,000 men and women who were sterilized by the binding of the seminal duct and fallopian tubes, about 14 times as many as in 2013. Procedures to implant IUDs were performed at a rate of 200,000 to 300,000 people each year. As of 2017, about 3.12 million women had been fitted with this contraceptive device, accounting for 60% of married women of childbearing age.
“I understood the meaning of the surgery, but I later learned that it was a policy for the Uyghur,” Gülgine said, “and I too was sterilized.”
Gülgine’s story and others like it come close on the heels of eyewitness reports and satellite photos of mass reeducation camps. An estimated one million Uighurs are detained in their own “autonomous region” by Chinese authorities at any one time.
Beijing has even bragged about the deleterious effects on Uighur birthrates.
In a tweet since deleted by Twitter, China’s U.S. embassy account said back in January:
Study shows that in the process of eradicating extremism, the minds of Uygur women in Xinjiang were emancipated and gender equality and reproductive health were promoted, making them no longer baby-making machines. They are more confident and independent.
Well, that’s one way to describe the forced sterilization of over three million women and an untold number of men.
According to official Chinese National Bureau of Statistics figures published by Hong Kong Free Press in February, “between 2017 and 2019, the birth rate in Xinjiang almost halved, dropping from 15.88 per cent in 2017 to 8.14 in 2019.”
If Adolph Hitler had had the patience of Xi Jinping, he might just have gotten away with eliminating all of Europe’s 12 million pre-war Jewish population instead of just half of them.
China took the “Never again!” lament and turned it around to “How do we improve on what Hitler tried?”
China’s ruthlessness — genocidal and otherwise — might be explained in part by the Communist country’s own self-inflicted birth dearth.
Gordon Chang wrote a fascinating piece for National Interest last month, going into great detail about what he called “history’s most dramatic demographic collapse in the absence of war or disease.”
“Today,” Chang claimed, China “has a population more than four times larger than America’s. By 2100, the U.S. will probably have more people than China.”
Chang also notes that while China scrapped its 1980 “one-child policy” in 2016, “births have fallen every year,” regardless.
The oncoming demographic train wreck puts China in two binds.
We in the West usually think of Beijing as playing a long game in its foreign policy. But with an aging and shrinking population, China may have a very limited window of opportunity to achieve regional dominance by kicking the United States out of the western Pacific (or even further east, past Hawaii).
If Xi sometimes seems like a man in a reckless hurry to tangle with the U.S., that could be why.
Domestically, the problem is even more of a threat to the Chinese Communist Party.
Lacking any kind of democratic legitimacy, the CCP gains its authority in great part by promoting Han ethnic superiority. Beijing can’t allow ethnic Uighurs to gain population share against the ethnically Han Chinese people.
So by the cold logic of Beijing’s communist-nationalist fusion, the Uighurs must be done away with — all in a way that won’t arouse so much global outrage that it threatens the CCP’s rule.
It’s pure evil, but short of a war no one (including yours truly) wants to fight, China will almost certainly get away with genocide.


This jabbering Roundhead Madness is all true!
We built a paddle wheeled aircraft carrier, & then deployed it in Lake Michigan. In fact, we built two OG-be-dammed paddle-wheeled fresh-water aircraft carriers, & deployed them in Lake Michigan.
And George Bush was involved!
And he landed on it! Several times!!
To help Win The War™!
Of course, it was built in World War 2.
And it was George Mark One.
And they were training ships.
But they were Paddle-Wheeled Fresh Water Aircraft Carriers.
Well, it says much the same thing about me. I’d first encountered a mention of them in the memoirs of R.ADM Daniel V. Gallery. Actually, looking at pics of the Wolverine, it’s surprising to me, just how normal it looks, really.

DENVER (CBS4/AP) — A mother who was part of a doomsday group in southwestern Colorado was found guilty of murdering her two young daughters. The bodies of 10-year-old Makayla Roberts and 8-year-old Hannah Marshall were found in a car on a farm near Norwood, about 100 miles north of Durango, in September 2017.
Investigators believe the group’s spiritual leader, Madani Ceus of Haiti, ordered the girls be kept in a car without food or water for weeks — as the others awaited the apocalypse.
Their mother, Nashika Bramble will be sentenced this fall in Telluride.
Ceus, a 37-year-old from Haiti, told the others to call her “Ama” or “Yahweh.”
The man who owned the property, Frederick Blair, got to know the members of the group and told police he felt others were under Ceus’s “direction and control.”
Blair said Ceus ordered that the girls stay in a car without food or water because she considered them “unclean.”
Blair, Ceus and two other adults face charges in connection with the deaths of the girls.

MOSCOW, Idaho -- Fresno State quarterback Derek Carr insists he wasn't aware of the gaudy statistics he piled up in the first half as the No. 23 Bulldogs routed Idaho 61-14 on Saturday.
Carr had 390 yards passing and all five of his touchdown passes in the first 30 minutes. It was all the Bulldogs really needed against a thoroughly overmatched opponent.
"Those things I don't think about," Carr said. "My job is to get the team in the end zone."
"I promise you that is all I think about, whether it's running the ball or throwing it: what is the best option for getting the ball in the end zone," he said.
Fresno State scored at least 40 points for the fifth time this season.
Last week, the Bulldogs nearly squandered a big lead and barely managed to escape at Hawaii. Coach Tim DeRuyter wanted to make sure that didn't happen again.
"We talked to our team all week about playing hard for 60 minutes," DeRuyter said. "You cannot have the intensity drop down."
Davante Adams caught three touchdown passes for Fresno State (5-0), which is off to its best start since 2001, when they won their first six games.
Idaho (1-5), coming off a win over Temple in coach Paul Petrino's first season, didn't score until the fourth quarter against the first ranked opponent to play in the Kibbie Dome since Boise State in 2010.
Fresno State scored touchdowns on its first five possessions and was never threatened. It was the best defensive performance of the season for a team that has been surrendering 38 points per game.
"Defensively we couldn't do anything right against them in the first half," Petrino said. "They kicked our butts."
Carr, subject of a Heisman Trophy campaign by the Bulldogs, completed 36 of 46 passes for 419 yards and was intercepted once in three quarters of action. Adams caught 16 passes for 185 yards.
Marteze Waller rushed for 157 yards as Fresno State piled up 734 yards of offense, compared to 275 for Idaho.
Idaho quarterback Chad Chalich completed just 14 of 32 passes for 100 yards and was intercepted three times. Two of the interceptions happened on consecutive first-quarter drives and ended up placing the Vandals in a 21-0 hole.
"That's part of being a freshman," Petrino said. "But everybody around him has to do a better job of helping him."
This one was over early.
Fresno State drove 81 yards on its first possession, which ended on a 27-yard touchdown pass from Carr to Adams. Adams appeared to be well-covered in the end zone but plucked the ball out of the air.
Idaho drove down to Fresno's 20 on its next possession, but a scrambling Chalich was intercepted by Derron Smith to kill the drive.
The rout was on from there.
Carr, who completed 15 of 17 passes for 226 yards and three touchdowns in the first quarter, fired a 2-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Burse for a 35-0 Fresno lead early in the second. That gave him at least four touchdown passes for the 10th game in his career.
Fresno State led 47-0 at halftime after piling up 577 yards of offense to 161 for Idaho.
The Bulldogs' offense slowed down in the third quarter, with Waller running over from the 2 late in the quarter for a 54-0 lead.
Fresno State has won 10 straight games over the Vandals, who are playing as an independent this season before joining the Sun Belt Conference next year.
Fresno State came in averaging 44 points per game and has yet to score fewer than 41 points in a game this season.
Petrino noted that he tried to recruit Carr when the quarterback was in high school in Bakersfield, Calif.
"He's pretty special," Petrino said. "He's as good a college quarterback as I've seen out there this year."
South Carolina AD Ray Tanner is not "100 percent sure" Saturday's game vs. No. 7 LSU will be played at Williams-Brice Stadium because of devastating floods that hit the state.
UCLA junior linebacker Myles Jack has withdrawn from school and will enter the NFL draft, making the decision just weeks after suffering a season-ending knee injury.
The Oklahoma State Cowboys' defense has lost senior middle linebacker Ryan Simmons for the season because of a knee injury.
A judge has dismissed simple assault charges against Rutgers wide receiver Leonte Carroo after the woman he allegedly attacked after a football game said she didn't want to testify.
Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre said he was sorry for getting into a sideline altercation with an assistant coach during a 41-24 loss to Oregon over the weekend.
The Fresno County District Attorney's office has filed charges against Fresno State QB Zack Greenlee and a teammate after both were arrested last month during a house party near the campus.

As much as I love Geedge and Brian, it was a lot nicer being one on one because it is easier to get to know each other. Jared is a true gentleman and was very safe with me on the back of his motorcycle. The canyon isn't as pretty anymore because everything is dead... but it is still a nice view. I love motorcycle rides! What a fun night.

Plenty of people starve themselves to avoid getting fat.
You shouldn’t be doing that. Maintaining a comfortable life can be frustrating if you are always feeling hungry. Feeling unsatisfied often leads to binging, and ultimately staggering your weight-loss goals, which can leave you discouraged. The key is finding the right balance of clean-eating foods that are not only good for you and low in calories but taste great and fill your belly, too.
I’ve researched and put together a list of foods that are delicious, will help you get full but not make you add weight.
1. Uji ya wimbi.
Wimbi is a good source of a soluble fiber called beta-glucan, which helps slow down digestion and the absorption of carbohydrates. This means that you will stay full for longer. Plus it has no fat.
Beans are full of cholecystokinin, a digestive hormone that naturally suppresses appetite and keeps you feeling full. Other bean benefits include regulating blood sugar, being high-fiber and low in cholesterol. This food is simply great for your heart and digestion.
The thick consistency of pumpkin gives it that stick-to-your-ribs feeling and it’s one vegetable that will stay with you for awhile. It’s a good source of fiber, and will help regulate your digestive system.
Njugu does not only give you that “good fat” necessary for your daily diet. It is also high in protein, which helps you feel full. Eating njugu several times a day will help you feel full. Some forms of nuts also contain important omega-3 fatty acids
5. Cooked potatoes.
Many people avoid potatoes when trying to lose weight, but they shouldn’t. Whole potatoes are loaded with vitamins, fiber and other important nutrients. They also contain a certain type of starch called resistant starch that doesn’t actually contribute to weight gain. However other potato products such as crisps and chips aren’t good for people who don’t want to get fat.
6. Boiled eggs.
Eggs have been unfairly demonized in the past. But they are only bad if you fry them. Several recent studies have found that people who ate eggs for breakfast were more satisfied and consumed fewer calories throughout the day than those who had half a loaf of white bread for breakfast. The studies also revealed that people who ate eggs for breakfast lowered their body mass index (BMI) and lost more weight.
7. Low-fat dairy products.
Skimmed milk, low fat cheese and yoghurt are a good source of calcium, which helps break down fat cells. Some studies indicate that not getting enough calcium may trigger the release of calcitriol, a hormone that causes fat storage.
8. Cooked chicken breast.
They key word is ‘cooked’ not ‘fried.’ Chicken breast is a high-quality form of protein that will help balance out a meal and provide you with energy so you can make it through your day. It also contains very minimal fat.

September 23, 2021: CSU's Master Plan for Decarbonization
In the midst of simultaneous mitigation and adaptation to climate change impacts, the California State University, the largest public university system in the country, has developed a Building Decarbonization Framework. These series of documents is one of many tools that will be leveraged to guide its 23 campuses to meet their carbon neutrality goals through an offset-free electrification strategy. This technical roadmap covers policy, design and Title 24 modeling guidelines, available technology, opportunities for heat recovery chiller integration, as well as a tool to gauge economic viability of a project. Listen to Rachel Wong (CSU), Andrew Meiman (Arc Alternatives), and Brian Stern (Glumac) as they chat through the components of the framework and plans for implementation.

13114: Fox and rabbit control in Beverley and York
This project aims to reduce fox and rabbit populations across the western-central wheatbelt Shires of Beverley and York by providing subsidised baits to landholders.
Up to 30 landholders will be able to apply for up to $300 each towards the purchase of baits.
Training and accreditation in the use of 1080 baits will be provided by the Department of Agriculture.
Baiting will be promoted and encouraged through advertising in local newspapers and a direct email to landholders.
This across-landscape effort will ensure maximum control of foxes and rabbits within these two neighbouring Shires, reducing pressure on local wildlife and remnant vegetation.
|Investment:||$ 11 000|
|Delivery organisation:||Shires of Beverley and York|
|Project duration:||March 2014 - December 2015|

What is long-term depression? What happens if depression symptoms last for years?
For people suffering from long-term depression – and those who care about them – these are extremely important questions. According to the Mayo Clinic, persistent depressive disorder is a continuous, long-term form of depression. Individuals may feel sad, lose interest in daily activities, have trouble getting things done, have low self-esteem, or feel hopeless or like a failure.
If left untreated, depression can lead to significant challenges in all areas of life, including personal relationships, work, school, and daily activities. This is not surprising, as common depression symptoms include lack of energy, inability to focus, difficulty making decisions, avoidance of social activities, lack of patience, and problems getting things done well and on time. Over months and years, these symptoms can become debilitating.
Depression can also negatively impact physical health. In addition to problems caused by symptoms like poor appetite, overeating, and sleep issues, depression is also a risk factor for diseases and disorders, such as obesity, diabetes, chronic respiratory disorders, and arthritis. Research has also found that people with long-term depression are at a higher risk for cardiovascular deterioration and heart attack. If a heart attack or other heart problem happens, it is more difficult to recover for individuals with major depression.
Individuals suffering from long-term depression are also at risk of trying to self-medicate with illegal drugs and alcohol, leading to dependency and causing a new set of physical and mental health issues.
In addition, depression is a major cause of suicide, which is a leading cause of death in the U.S.
Fortunately, there are options to treat long-term depression. Two first-line options usually involve therapy and medication.
What is Talk Therapy for Depression?
Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, involves speaking with a mental health professional to better understand one’s experiences and increase their well-being. Forms of psychotherapy commonly used to treat depression include psychodynamics, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and interpersonal therapy (IPT).
Medication can also be useful in treating long-term depression. Several classes of medication are available, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), and tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). Though psychopharmacology is a generally effective depression treatment, it can cause side effects such as weight gain or sexual dysfunction, and many patients are found to be treatment resistant.
There also are several medical technologies available to treat depression, such as Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS™).
ECT induces a brief set of seizures that stimulate the brain’s neural activity. Originally used to treat schizophrenia, ECT was eventually found to help alleviate severe depression, and today is primarily used to treat this condition. Though highly effective, ECT is not for everyone. It requires full sedation under anesthesia, which complicates the recovery process. Its side effects can be severe and include short-term memory loss.
Traditional TMS has been available to the public since 2008. TMS is a noninvasive treatment for depression. The treatment sends out electromagnetic pulses from a figure-8-shaped handheld device, used to stimulate the neural activity of brain structures found to be involved in depression. While TMS has been clinically shown to be a safe and effective treatment option, this traditional form of TMS has certain limitations: The figure-8 coil’s relatively narrow scope means only a focal brain structure can be regulated at any given moment, causing targeting issues to arise during treatment.
Deep TMS is an advancement of traditional TMS treatment and addresses many of the concerns raised with its predecessor. Deep TMS is also a noninvasive treatment that utilizes a magnetic field to stimulate the neural activity of brain structures associated with depression, in addition to other forms of mental illness. Deep TMS does not require anesthesia or recovery and can be incorporated into an individual’s daily routine.
The high levels of safety and effectiveness shown in clinical trials granted Deep TMS an FDA clearance status in 2013 for treating depression. Deep TMS is also the only noninvasive medical device to be given an FDA clearance based on peer-reviewed clinical data for treating OCD and Smoking Addiction. It is CE-marked in Europe to treat depression, OCD, and several other mental health conditions.
If you are suffering from long-term depression, talk to a healthcare provider about the best treatment options for you.

Ronnie O’Sullivan revealed to Eurosport that he has been suffering from tennis elbow for the past year and plans to rest the injury.
The World Champion appeared as a special guest for Eurosport on Saturday at the FIM Speedway Grand Prix of Great Britain in Cardiff.
“I’ve had an injury to my arm for about the last year,” said the seven-time Crucible king. “The last two months it’s just got really bad so I really need to rest it.
“Hopefully it will get better and I think it’s a time-healing process. One of the big events that I want to play in is in Hong Kong which is in early October. I thought I better rest it and try and get it better for that.”
O’Sullivan has pulled out of this week’s BetVictor European Masters. The next event he is due to compete in is the BetVictor World Mixed Doubles on the weekend of September 24 and 25 in Milton Keynes, which is followed by the Cazoo British Open at the same venue.
Asked about his victory in Sheffield in May, O’Sullivan added: “It was unbelievable really. It’s such a hard tournament I thought I probably did not have it in me to win again, but I decided to do this documentary.
“I had a film crew following me around so I thought ‘I better really try hard here because I’m going to have to watch this back.’ I just gave it everything and I think that was one of the reasons I was able to get over the line.”

Do you get excited when your child begins to put sounds together and decodes the words to read? It is a significant milestone in their lives.
Learning how to read can be overwhelming for the beginning reader. Every time they think they’ve got one set of rules down, they must learn another. Then they need to practice decoding words using those rules. It is a lot of work. Sometimes, it can be discouraging too.
So What can we adults do to help them master this process? Yes, we must give them access to a variety of books to sustain their interest in learning to read.
When we think of books for children, we immediately think of storybooks. But if we look closer, we’ll see a significant variation in these. How does one select books for their children? Should they go with the popular choice or find books to reinforce various skills?
In India, our children have different levels of exposure to the English language at home. Similarly, their introduction to children’s books in English also varies. Therefore, parents must select books that target different skills. Why does it matter? Because to become a skilled reader, the child must be able to decode fluently and have good comprehension skills.
Books geared for beginning readers fall into two broad categories based on their purpose:
1. They focus on developing vocabulary and reading comprehension skills, and
2. They focus on decoding skills by consolidating letter-sound association and practicing blending skills to improve their fluency.
Let’s look at the types of books and the skills they teach the beginning reader:
- Decodable books:
These are books where most of the words can be decoded using phonics. These books highlight specific phonetic principles, such as word families, CVC and CVCe words, and common sight words. Decodable books are particularly beneficial for readers who must practice their knowledge of letter-sound relationships and blend the sounds to read the word. These books increase the reader’s accuracy and independence. For instance, in the initial stages, the child may read the sentence as “This is /p//a//t/, Pat.” With practice, they begin to recognize the word ‘Pat’ without having to blend the sounds. The books usually have a simple story and illustrations, but the focus is on the words produced by a combination of letter sounds.
- Predictable books: Predictable books have a recognizable pattern that cues the reader to guess what comes next in the story. These books are great for making reading an interactive experience because your child participates by filling in the next word, phrase, or sentence. They can also check their understanding by verifying if their prediction was correct. The pattern can be a string of repetitive phrases, rhymes, or even sequences. Predictable books are good tools to teach various comprehension strategies. The vocabulary does not follow a leveled, phonetic scope and sequence, and many words are beyond a beginning reader’s decoding skills. Therefore, these books are great for you, the adult, to read aloud to your kids.
There are many types of predictable books:
- Question and answer: The text in these books is a repetition of the same question or similar questions. For instance, in Eric Carle’s ‘Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?’ a single question is repeated throughout the story with a minor variation and pictures cue the child to answer the question. Mem Fox’s “Where is the Green Sheep?” is another enjoyable book in this tradition.
- Familiar sequence: These books follow a sequence of familiar routines or concepts like seasons, lifecycles, counting, alphabet books, days of the week, etc. Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a well-known example. Others include ‘Black? White! Day? Night! A Book of Opposites,’ by Laura Vaccaro Seeger and Marianne Berkes’ ‘Over in the Ocean.’ Children can draw information from the illustrations, text, and prior knowledge to make predictions.
- Chain/Circular: In the chain or circular type of predictable book, the story’s ending leads the reader back to the beginning of the book. The reader realizes that the tale will repeat as they reread the book. Laura Numeroff writes some of the more well-known examples of this type of book. Her “If you give a mouse a cookie” and “If you give a pig a pancake” are classics. “When the Elephant Walks” by Keiko Kasza will have your kids laughing as one animal scares the next until it is the elephant’s turn to be scared. Kids at our camps loved “Who is the Beast?” by Keith Baker, where the tiger turns around and shows the other animals how they share similar traits.
- Cumulative: Another category of predictable books is the cumulative book. Here, each event is built upon the previous one. As you read each new event, you repeat all the earlier sequences. The well-known books of this type include “There was an old lady who swallowed a fly,” “The house that Jack built,” and, of course, the very fun “Move over, Rover” by Karen Beaumont. Children hear the same phrases repeatedly, which helps them recognize the sequence and identify the patterns in words.
- Pattern books have events repeating with some differences. For instance, in the book Duck! Rabbit! by Amy Krouse Rosenthal, the text shows two people arguing if the image they see is a duck or a rabbit. The events in the book show how it could be either a duck’s bill or the rabbit’s ears. Children pick up on the pattern to predict what happens next.
- Repetition: Some books have the text repeating itself-either phrases or sentences. Children hear the repeated text, anticipate the words, and participate in the reading. One of the best examples of this type of predictable book is “I’m the biggest thing in the Ocean” by Kevin Sherry. In the book, a giant squid compares himself to all the ocean animals he sees and declares that he is the biggest thing in the ocean, until of course, he meets the blue whale. Even then, he manages to keep the same refrain with a minor alteration, much to the reader’s delight.
3. Wordless picture books: Yes, you heard that right! Wordless picture books are great for language development. As there is no text, children must use their background knowledge to understand the illustrations and build sentences to describe the events in the book. In the process, they grow their vocabulary and comprehension skills. The reader also develops an understanding of the parts of a story and how the story is structured. Some of the best-known examples of wordless picture books are Flotsam by David Weisner and Journey by Aaron Baker.
There are many predictable books by Indian authors as well. Nandini Nayar’s ‘What Shall I Make?’ follows a little boy who asks the question as he plays with chapati atta. Our kids will immediately make the connection because which kid hasn’t played with chapati atta in the kitchen?
Ashwathy P.S. and Anusha Sundar beautifully illustrate the counting book, One Dark Cloud by Shoba Vishwanath, while ‘Where is Amma?’ by Nandini Nayar follows the question/answer pattern. In the ‘wordless books’ category are the books like Ammachi’s Glasses by Priya Kurien and Ammama’s Sari by Niveditha Subramaniam.
Picture books expose children to rich language structures and develop their skills even as they learn how to decode. We hope you have many pleasant hours of reading with your child.
