November is National Diabetes Awareness Month , and one expert believes Arkansans can reverse prediabetes, and prevent the onset of Type Two diabetes . Dr. Griffin P. Rodgers, director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, said it takes a self-care plan, including a healthy lifestyle and dietary changes. Rodgers explained diabetes is the condition of a person’s blood glucose level being too high, and it is on the rise in Arkansas. He pointed out the disease affects about 37 million Americans, roughly 11% of the U.S. population. “The State of Arkansas, the prevalence is higher, it’s about 12.4%,” Rodgers noted. “Arkansas is the fifth-highest in terms of the ranking in the U.S. of states in terms of the prevalence of diabetes. What seems to be driving this high number, both in Arkansas and other states, is the prevalence of obesity.” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 300,000 ...

In a digital world, employers often require some form of cybersecurity training. A local government official in Wisconsin is encouraging people not to let the helpful tips fade from their memories. October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month , and federal officials say nearly 50% of American adults have had their personal information exposed by cyber criminals. But Tim Lemmers, information-technology manager for the Milwaukee suburb of Greenfield, said a lot of the threats that reach individuals don’t come from system hacks, but rather from social engineering. “People who are trying to hack your environments, they’re getting your information, they’re looking up you, looking up the street you lived on, your first pet’s name,” he said. “And they’re trying to use that kind of information to target you specifically, to get you to click on a thing – where they can steal your information and then pose as you.” He said a key prevention tool is paying close attention to your emails, to spot...

If you’re looking for a way to make your body look slimmer and more attractive, then waist trainers and body shaper for women can both be helpful. However, they are not the same thing. In this blog post I’ll explain what makes them so different from one another as well as how each serves a unique purpose for different people. The main difference The main difference between shapewear and a waist trainer is that shapewear is designed to smooth out your silhouette, while a waist trainer is specifically meant to reduce the size of your waistline. Shapewear can help you look slimmer by smoothing out any lumps or bumps in your clothing, but it’s not always an effective method of curbing those unwanted bulges. Waist trainers, on the other hand, force you into an hourglass shape through compression garments that have been specially designed for this purpose.

In the race for governor, Democratic nominee Charlie Crist picked the top teacher’s union representative in Florida ‘s largest public school district as his running mate. The challenge ahead appears to be raising her statewide name identification. Karla Hernandez-Mats is a special-education teacher and first-generation American born to Honduran immigrants. Despite being well known in education circles, her pick as a running mate is seen as a wildcard, according to Susan MacManus PhD – University of South Florida Professor Emerita of Political Science. “The difficulty is that she is just not getting a lot of exposure and people don’t know who she is,” said MacManus. “And she may be well-known down in South Florida, but she is not well-known in the rest of the state.” However, teachers are rallying to change that, and think her background will impress the large Hispanic voting bloc in the state. MacManus said that tactic worked for Gov. Ron DeSantis when he picked Lieutenant Gov. J...

Having a positive attitude towards your home country is more likely to hinder you from collaborating internationally, according to new research from Durham University Business School . Whilst having a less positive attitude towards your country of origin means you’re more likely to engage in international collaborations. The study also found that women were more likely to collaborate than their male counterparts – sparking calls for greater inclusion of women in international affairs roles. Undertaken by Jason Shachat , a Professor of Experimental Economics, alongside colleagues from Chapman University, USA , and Wuhan University, China , the study used the Prisoner’s Dilemma – a popular game scenario used in game theory to determine why two rational people may not co-operate, even if it is in their best interests to do so – on an international scale. Using a dataset of 321 participants from the United States and 306 from China, participants participated in the game, and were only i...

Today, we live in an era where everything, including business, is virtually inseparable from the internet. Now that the internet has replaced the phone book, every company must have a recognizable website in any industry. For instance, if a business is considering hosting an online program or availing an online within a specific time frame, then some things are needed to work simultaneously in chronological order.

This will help you understand why it is an integral part of a modern business strategy, regardless of its size. 1. A friction-less new booking ...

It seems like whenever there is a really important election in the US, a hurricane hits Southwest Florida! As confusion and misinformation continue to plague Southwest Florida after Hurricane Ian, one voice rises above the rest. Howard Sapp, a former air traffic controller from Washington DC has proven his leadership during this crisis time and time again. Howard Sapp was out before, during and after the hurricane volunteering at shelters, delivering supplies, even helping repair residents houses to ensure that residents had power, water, and electricity. He worked tirelessly on behalf of the community and continues to do so, which is why his leadership is so badly needed at this time. Originally from Fort Myers , Sapp returned home after a 30 year career in aviation and has proven that leadership is about taking care of those you love and care about. To him, that means making sure there is proper legislation in place to support Southwest Florida residents all year long. He has st...

The Clean Water Act turns 50 this week, but parts of it are being challenged in a case before the U.S. Supreme Court . The case, Sackett v. EPA, could allow factories, hog farms and wastewater plants to pollute waters in states that lack strong water-quality protections. Jim Murphy, director of legal advocacy at the National Wildlife Federation , said the case could result in a cascading effect across the country. “Could potentially, depending on how the court rules, remove important federal protections from pollution and destruction for up to half of the nation’s wetlands and maybe 60 to 70% of the nation’s streams,” he said, “including many streams that could provide the source waters for people’s drinking supplies.” A new report from the National Wildlife Federation said the case, if plaintiffs are successful, would be “disproportionately felt by low-income communities and communities of color that already have inadequate water and wastewater infrastructure and face greater f...

If you’re posting a property for sale, including costs so your potential buyers can immediately determine if they would even think about purchasing. The most important thing you do not wish is for buyers to leave because the price is higher than anticipated. Provide all the essential information upfront to ensure your leads feel more comfortable and qualified. Additionally, if a property was sold at a higher price than the asking price, ensure you include the percentage of what it cost more than it was in the “sold house” posts. Buyers knowledgeable about the neighborhood can utilize this information to gauge the price of homes that sell in the areas they’re interested in. If someone purchased a home for less than the price it was advertised for, and you want to share the news, post the purchase. Include a call to action informing people to contact you if they search for similar outcomes. Staff features allow users to see an insider’s view of what goes on in the office. Celebrate...

Bitcoin (BTC) will trade flat for the remainder of the year, but 2025 could see new heights not reached before, according to Finder’s latest BTC price predictions report . Finder’s panel of 55 fintech and cryptocurrency specialists think BTC will be worth US$21,344 by the end of 2022 before skyrocketing to $79,193 by 2025. CoinSmart Financial CEO Justin Hartzman thinks BTC will end the year at just $17,000 but says it could spike to $75,000 by 2025. “Bitcoin is suffering due to external macro conditions. My 2025 price prediction will depend on the aftermath of the halving. If macro conditions improve and the regulatory environment gets better, then BTC price should be able to rise up.” The majority of the panel (53%), including Bitcoin Reserve CEO Nik Oraevsky, believe Bitcoin’s price will continue to correlate with high growth tech stocks. “BTC has high beta with traditional markets. And traditional markets are in dire straits. All hangs on fiscal policy and jabber jawing of t...

For a very long time, people have assumed that being healthy and happy are the same thing. The adage “laughter is the best medicine” has gained popularity and is supported by several studies. One of the best indicators of someone’s mental, spiritual, physical, and emotional wellbeing is their state of health . Negative health impacts reduce happiness levels as well, at least momentarily. Nearly every element of life is greatly impacted by one’s health, including independence, relationships, self-image, capacity to work, and simple daily tasks. It follows that it is natural for your happiness to suffer when your health declines. This essay will explain what happiness is, where it comes from, what makes us happy, and how to maintain good health. The topic of why individuals are healthy when they are happy, various standards for maintaining health and happiness, and if happiness improves health will also be highlighted and supported by research investigations.
