The Nazi party was started by 3 people. I will not sit silently as the rapid rise of antisemitism swirls all around in the vitriol of hate that is festering in our country. The election is just eight days away. Violence is now part of our political discourse. With the rise of racism, misogyny, “othering,” anti-immigration, anti-LBGTQ+, and transphobia, do you see that “they” are coming for many of us?

With the Olympics over, there is now a huge gap in my life that only watching 18 hours of daily television sports can fill. During the games, I was occasionally able to wrench my bloodshot eyes from the television screen long enough to jot down some observations. Here they are: Race Walking. I’m not a race walking fan. It’s a contrived form of locomotion, in which highly trained athletes are confined by unnatural rules that they all break.

For many students, physical education is critical to becoming active and developing healthy routines. But how is this possible anymore with the repercussions of the pandemic? Years of COVID-19, social distancing, and virtual learning have all had a profound effect on students, which means educators need to adjust their classes accordingly. The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

I don’t like air travel. It’s because I have a slight case of claustrophobia, that shows itself only occasionally…like when I get caught in an avalanche, become pinned under a toppled elephant, or travel in an airplane. Sometimes the latter is worst of the three situations. Having just completed a team trip involving air travel – and knowing there are other claustrophobic fliers out there – here’s a suggestion to the airlines that will help those with my affli

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. By providing education in movement competency, education on using movement to develop the ability to be self-regulated and motivated, and education through movement to develop ‘habits of mind’ for positive and constructive engagement with others, PE provides a basis for personal and community health and wellbeing.

As coaches, we all want to win. We implore our athletes to spend the off-season training to become bigger, faster, stronger. But, the moment practice begins, our focus shifts and training sessions become an afterthought. This is dangerous. Let’s take a look at in season strength training and break down the why, what, and how! While in-season, your athletes will adapt to the rigors of practices and games, often reaching peak physical conditioning for that sport.

Elderberry ( Sambucus nigra ) is a botanical commonly known for its role in support of immune health. It contains many bioactive molecules that act in multiple biochemical pathways within the body. For instance, flavonoids derived from S. nigra have been shown to inhibit H1N1 influenza virus host entry by directly binding to virus particles. Polysaccharides from S. nigra may support the activation of macrophages to promote a healthy immune response.

Histamine is a biogenic amine that has important functions in the body. The enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO) is primarily responsible for degrading histamine in the digestive tract to maintain histamine homeostasis. When a person lacks DAO, it is associated with adverse symptoms due to the disproportionate accumulation of plasma histamine. Similar to a lactase deficiency, resulting in lactose intolerance, a DAO deficiency may result in histamine intolerance (HIT). .
