You're reading 4 Tips to Raise a Confident Kid, originally posted on Pick the Brain | Motivation and Self Improvement. If you're enjoying this, please visit our site for more inspirational articles.
It's easier, today, for a 10-year-old kid to set up a Facebook account than to learn how to speak up for themselves. Two of my girlfriends were kindergarten and school teachers, and I'm kind of familiar with the abuse kids get every day from their parents, friends, and teachers…. It's insanely annoying.
Long story short, I checked my calendar and saw tomorrow is Parents` Day, so I decided to write a short post for parents ...

Venezuela: The Biggest Humanitarian Crisis That You Haven't Heard Of
ConclusionThe Venezuelan emigration crisis is going to worsen before it improves. If the labor market and economic integration of Syrians refugees outside of Syria since 2011 can offer any lessons to South America, they are:Allow Venezuelans to legally work in host countries so that their employment and labor force participation rates rise.Deregulate labor markets generally because more legal work opportunities will reduce Venezuelan labor market competition with locals. Legal employment reduces the net cost of social services and charity as well as increases feelings of belonging and contentment among the emigrants.S...

HPV Test Superior to Pap Smear for Detecting Precancerous Cervical Changes
A recent article indicated that HPV testing is superior to the Pap smear for detecting precancerous lesions of the cervical epithelium (see:HPV test is better than Pap smear at detecting precancerous cervical changes). Has the Pap smear outlived its usefulness in cancer screening programs? Below is a key passage from the article:A new study found that the HPV test was better than the Pap smear in detecting precancerous changes that can lead to cervical cancer. A test for HPV detects precancerous changes of the cervix earlier and more accurately than the Pap smear....The randomized, controlled study...showed that the human ...

Jellybean 94 with Salim Rezaie – Teaching teachers about teaching
LITFL • Life in the Fast Lane Medical Blog LITFL • Life in the Fast Lane Medical Blog - Emergency medicine and critical care medical education blog
Teaching teachers about teaching; lets get super-meta.

How Does Medical Virtual Reality Make Healthcare More Pleasant?
Medical virtual reality goes entirely against conventional beliefs about technology making healthcare less human, less empathetic and less caring. Virtual reality teaches empathy to med students, makes vaccination for children more sufferable, helps get rid of fears by treating phobias, relieves chronic pain or fulfills the last wishes of the dying.
The many faces of medical virtual reality
Although the use of virtual reality in healthcare is not widespread yet, the technology holds great promise. Goldman Sachs estimated in its 2016 report that 8 million physicians and medical technicians could make use of augmented reali...

Music Improves Function of Blood Pressure Medication
Scientists working at São Paulo State University, Juazeiro do Norte College, ABC Medical School in Brazil and Oxford Brookes University in the UK have shown that music improves the performance of anti-hypertensive medications. The study, published in Nature Scientific Reports, involved 37 patients with high blood pressure that normally responded well to drugs. They listed to music on some days and not others and their blood pressure and heart rate variability were measured at 20 minute intervals following treatment.
The results were that for at least an hour following listening to music, the heart rate was lower and bloo...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, March 26th 2018
In conclusion, senescence of vascular cells promotes the development of age-related disorders, including heart failure, diabetes, and atherosclerotic diseases, while suppression of vascular cell senescence ameliorates phenotypic features of aging in various models. Recent findings have indicated that specific depletion of senescent cells reverses age-related changes. Although the biological networks contributing to maintenance of homeostasis are extremely complex, it seems reasonable to explore senolytic agents that can act on specific cellular components or tissues. Several clinical trials of senolytic agents are currentl...

Sorting Out All These Tariffs: Are We Having a Trade War Yet?
Tariffs are making headlines just about every day now, but it ’s often not clear which stories are aboutthreats of tariffs, and which are aboutactual tariffs that will be applied. Back on March 8, President Trump announced that he would impose tariffs on imports ofsteel (25%) andaluminum (10%), but also noted that Canada and Mexico would be exempt and there was going to be a 15 day period to talk about exemptions for other countries (as well as specific product exclusions). Other countries complained that the purported justification for the tariffs, national security, had no basis , and the EUthreatened retaliatory tar...

Disciplining China at the WTO
The scope of the Trump administration ’s Section 232 “national security” tariffs is filled with uncertainty –exemptions are being negotiated this week – but we are already on to the next set of aggressive trade moves:reports suggest that the administration will announce tariffs on imports of Chinese products today, as punishment for China’s alleged unfair trade practices. This would be a unilateral response to China’s practices, with the U.S. Trade Representative acting as the judge, jury, and executioner. This approach may not be all that effective in getting China to change, and risks retaliati on by Ch...

An Update on Immune System Recreation as a Treatment for Multiple Sclerosis
The destruction of near all immune cells followed by cell therapy to speed recreation of the immune system is a fairly harsh procedure, as the only way to clear a sufficiently high fraction of immune cells at the moment is essentially a form of chemotherapy. It is an effective treatment for autoimmune conditions, however, albeit with a significant risk of death, in line with that for many major surgeries. This makes it suitable in its current form only for more severe autoimmune disorders in which the patients tend to be younger and more robust, but with a very poor prognosis. In past years researchers have demonstrated co...

One Week Left To Get Exemptions from the Steel/Aluminum Tariffs
With all the media coverage of President Trump ’s steel/aluminum tariffs, it would be easy to assume they are in effect already, but they don’t actually start until next Friday, March 23.
