| Before-school physical activity program helps improve body weight and overall wellness We know that physical activity can have positive effects on children's health -- ranging from decreased rates of obesity and obesity-related illnesses to improving school performance and overall well-being," says Rachel Whooten, MD, postdoctoral fellow in the MGHfC Division of General Academic Pediatrics, and first author of the study. "Despite these benefits, it's often hard for children and families to find opportunities to be physically active. Our study evaluates a widely available, easily scalable and innovative program that may create more physical activity opportunities for school-aged children."Weekend activity programmes for children An initiative of the Reebok Foundation, which was a co-sponsor of the current study, the BOKS Program is currently available in more than 3,000 elementary and middle schools in the U.S. and other countries. Following a 12-week curriculum, the program provides hour-long, before-school sessions up to three days a week. Each session begins with a warm-up game, followed by a running-related activity; activities incorporating "skills of the week," such as push-ups or sit-ups; a game to end the session, and nutrition discussions during stretching and cool-down. Session are led by volunteers, who have been trained with BOKS program materials. While the training, BOKS curriculum and support materials are provided to participating schools at no cost, schools need to provide some basic supplies as well as locations for the program. Previous small studies have documented improvements in body fat and aerobic performance in BOKS participants, compared with nonparticipants. The current study was designed to evaluate both how a 12-week BOKS program affects participants' body mass index (BMI) and whether any differences resulted from participating two or three times a week. In 24 elementary and middle schools in three eastern Massachusetts communities during the 2015-16 school year, the parents of all students in grades K-8 were invited to enroll their children in the BOKS program and the study. Parent of those not participating in BOKS could allow their children to participate in the comparison group. School districts determined whether the program would be offered two or three times a week, depending on resources and preferences. Twice-a-week sessions were offered at 16 schools, while 8 schools conducted sessions three times a week. Overall, 274 children participated in the twice-a-week program, 151 in the three-times-a-week program, and 282 in the comparison group, for a total of 707 study participants. In addition to measurements of height and weight taken before and after the 12-week program, participants ages 8 and older completed surveys evaluating their social and emotional wellness -- including their overall mood, interaction with peers, satisfaction with their lives and involvement in their studies. At the end of the 12-week BOKS program, children participating three times a week had significantly better BMI z scores -- an age- and sex-specific measure used to track changes in weight status -- and a greater chance of moving to a lower BMI category -- such as normal instead of overweight -- than did children in the comparison group. Three-times-a-week participants also had better scores regarding their engagement in schoolwork, while those in the two-times-a-week group had significant improvements in mood, vitality and energy. Elsie Taveras, MD, MPH, chief of the MGHfC Division of General Academic Pediatrics, who led the study, explains that the before-school nature of the BOKS program offers several advantages, including not conflicting with after-school activities and family commitments. "The program's structure in which volunteers from within the school receive brief training and then follow a standard curriculum can overcome the concerns of some teachers and parents that they don't have the knowledge to help kids be more active. The flexibility of the BOKS program and the lack of a required investment in material resources can be helpful for schools with limited equipment and financial resources." Three elementary and middle schools in the eastern Massachusetts city of Revere have implemented the BOKS program for the current school year as part of a new study, led by Whooten, that is now underway. Barbara Kelly, principal of the Paul Revere Innovation School, says, "The BOKS program has become vital to the fabric of our school. The morning program sets the tone for each participating student's day. Their engagement and excitement in BOKS has carried over to the classroom, with parents and teachers alike having seen academic improvement. Students thrive on the program's structure and are so proud to belong to the club. I can't imagine not having BOKS in our school." A professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, Taveras adds, "Childhood is an important time for the establishment of healthy habits and routines that might protect children from chronic diseases including obesity, heart disease, and depression, which are the biggest contributors to morbidity and mortality in the U.S. Programs such as BOKS that help children not only develop healthy habits to promote optimal growth trajectories but also promote social and emotional skills that can help them better handle stress, peer interactions, and negative feelings are just what children need and should be broadly scaled. The program's being school-based and run by volunteers gives it the potential of affecting a large number of children equitably without the need for substantial resources." | ||

| US second-quarter GDP growth revised to 2.0% The U.S. economy slowed a bit more than initially thought in the second quarter as the strongest growth in consumer spending in 4-1/2 years was offset by declining exports and a smaller inventory build.To get more us gdp growth by year, you can visit shine news official website. Gross domestic product increased at a 2.0% annualized rate, the Commerce Department said in its second reading of second-quarter GDP on Thursday. That was revised down from the 2.1% pace estimated last month. The economy grew at a 3.1% rate in the January-March quarter. It expanded 2.6% in the first half of the year. The economic expansion, now in its 11th year, is under threat from the Trump administration's year-long trade war with China, which has undercut business investment and manufacturing. The deterioration in trade relations between the two economic giants has roiled global stock markets and triggered an inversion of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, fanning fears of a recession. While manufacturing and housing data suggest the economy continued to slow early in the third quarter, strong consumer spending, backed by the lowest unemployment rate in nearly 50 years, has tempered some concerns about a downturn. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell told a conference of central bankers last week that the economy was in a "favorable place," but reiterated that the U.S. central bank would "act as appropriate" to keep the economic expansion on track. The Fed lowered its short-term interest rate by 25 basis points last month for the first time since 2008, citing trade tensions and slowing global growth. Financial markets have fully priced in another quarter-percentage-point cut at the Fed's Sept. 17-18 policy meeting.The economy is also losing speed as the stimulus from the White House's $1.5 trillion tax-cut package and a government spending blitz fades. Economists are forecasting growth this year around 2.5%, below the Trump adminstration's 3% target. When measured from the income side, the economy grew at a 2.1% rate in the second quarter. Gross domestic income (GDI) increased at a 3.2% pace in the January-March quarter.The average of GDP and GDI, also referred to as gross domestic output and considered a better measure of economic activity, rose at a 2.1% rate last quarter, slowing from a 3.2% pace of growth in the first three months of the year. The income side of the growth ledger was supported by a rebound in profits after two straight quarterly declines. After-tax profits without inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustment, which correspond to S&P 500 profits, increased at a 4.8% rate after dropping 1.5% in the first quarter. Growth in consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, surged at a 4.7% rate in the second quarter. That was the fastest since the fourth quarter of 2014 and was a slight upward revision from the 4.3% pace estimated last month. The GDP report showed the trade deficit widened to $982.5 billion in the second quarter, instead of $978.7 billion as reported last month. Trade cut 0.72 percentage point from GDP growth last quarter instead of 0.65 percentage point as previously reported.U.S.-China trade tensions have caused wild swings in the trade deficit, with exporters and importers trying to stay ahead of the tariff fight. Growth in inventories was revised down to a $69.0 billion rate in the second quarter from the previously estimated $71.7 billion pace. Inventories chopped 0.91 percentage point from GDP growth last quarter, instead of 0.86 percentage point as reported in July. The slowdown in inventory accumulation reflects robust consumer spending and an uncertain economic outlook. Business investment declined at an unrevised 0.6% rate in the second quarter, the first contraction since the first quarter of 2016. Growth in government investment was revised down. Spending on homebuilding contracted for a sixth straight quarter, the longest such stretch since the Great Recession. | ||

| A zebra crossing at a busy Hyderabad signal now has LED light The struggle of a pedestrian attempting to cross the roads in Hyderabad during peak hours is as chaotic as the traffic itself, if not more. To ease the woes of people in the city, the Hyderabad traffic police and the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) in a new initiative have installed LED lights on the stop line at the KBR Park signal, thus helping pedestrians to cross the road at the signal without having to worry about the approaching traffic. The KBR Park Signal is one of Hyderabad’s most crowded traffic signal points.To get more zebra crossing, you can visit shine news official website. Under this new initiative, the LED lights on the road gleam in the same order of that of a traffic signal- red, orange and green – indicating stop, slow down and go. This comes as a part of the pilot project which aims at encouraging the commuters to stop at the signal and let pedestrians cross and also discourage them from jaywalking, especially during the night time. Speaking to TNM, Prasad Rao, Inspector at Banjara Hills Traffic police station, says that in the past two days there has been a significant decrease in the number of people jumping the traffic signal. So how do the lights on the stop line work differently from the traffic signals which also perform the same function? Cops say that it’s more about tapping into the psychological effects that the lights have on the commuters. Here's how the lights work: “The lights are so bright that any commuter will be forced to stop as the signal turns red. Earlier, the white lines on the road didn’t serve as enough deterrent for people who thought it was okay to cross the lines and stop there. Now that the lights shine so bright, people will be forced to stop at the signal and anyone crossing the line of the LED lights will be easily identifiable by both the traffic cops and the CCTV camera,” Rao says. The LED lights work in coordination with the traffic signals. This is the first to be implemented in Hyderabad. But similar models have been tried and tested in Chennai before, the cop says. “The lights at the signal were installed on July 1 and if the model is found to be successful, plans are underway to install them at other crowded signals in the city as well,” Rao adds. | ||

| The Best (and Worst) Makeup for Eyelash Extensions First, the good news: Your new eyelash extensions look amazing. Now, for the bad news: Half your eye-makeup collection needs to go. True, eyelash extensions can last for up to six weeks, but wearing the wrong makeup can lead to lashes falling out and extension damage, which can dramatically decrease the length of time your lash extensions look full and fabulous. To help you avoid this pitfall, we've compiled a list of the best makeup you should (and can) wear when you've got your eyelash extensions in. One weird consequence of having mile-long individual false lashes: Your eyelashes get tangled. And dragging a sticky pencil liner along the lash line, where eyelash extensions form their tenuous bonds, just worsens tangling and lash fallout. And, as anyone who's ever worn pencil liner knows, there's the lingering aftermath: Cream and gel eyeliners can leave a gummy residue on extensions, making removal an utter nightmare. You've been warned.top eyelash vendors Fact: You can wear mascara without destroying your lashes. Just avoid "tubing" formulas (the kind envelops your lashes and slips off in water without requiring remover). Tube mascara can literally be pulled off natural lashes with a little moisture and light pressure, but this formula sticks like glue to falsies. You'll get it off—but not without losing a few (pricey, hard-earned) lashes. If it's not obvious by now, smudge-proof and budge-proof eye makeup is generally bad news for lash extensions. This includes water-resistant or waterproof liquid liner. A liquid eyeliner may seem innocent enough (it's not creamy or gel-like), but its long-wearing capabilities will require rubbing or repeatedly touching your lashes to remove it, all of which will shorten the life span of your extensions. Keeping your eyelash extensions clean is key to making them last as long as possible. Oil-based makeup removers are best for removing stubborn eye makeup, but they also loosen the glue that bonds extensions to your lashes. Unfortunately, you're going to want to keep oil fully away from your eyes for as long as your extensions last. | ||

| Do eyelash serums work? What you should know about the popular treatment If you're dreaming of doe-like lashes, but can't be bothered with false lashes and eyelash extensions, you may want to consider an eyelash-enhancing serum. But what exactly do these treatments entail?Best wholesale eyelash vendor “They generally contain ingredients like panthenol and argan oil to smooth and condition lashes, humectants such as hyaluronic acid to plump lashes, and peptides to stimulate the lash’s hair follicle," said Dr. Joshua Zeichner, Director of Cosmetic & Clinical Research in Dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. Which treatment's right for you? That depends on what your end goal is."I think the consumer needs to determine if they desire true regrowth or just conditioning and pick ingredients accordingly," said New York-based dermatologist Dr. Sejal Shah. "Serums that do not contain bimatoprost and isopropyl cloprostenate or a comparable prostaglandin are more lash conditioners," Shah continued, "which likely make lashes look fuller or longer by hydrating them but don't truly stimulate growth." “Unfortunately, we don’t have any head-to-head studies comparing the effectiveness of one product to another, so you’ll have to rely on the reputation and science provided by each brand and give them a try,” Zeichner advised. Both physicians cautioned users to be careful when trying out any of these treatments. "Apply as directed, avoiding the eyelid and eye itself," said Shah. "Before using, patch test it on another part of the skin, such as the inner arm." If you develop a reaction (any redness or stinging) wash the product off right away and stop using it. If the reaction is severe, contact your physician. If you're interested in giving these new treatments a try, we've rounded up a few popular lash enhancing serums to consider plus other lash boosting options that promise gorgeous lashes in a snap. | ||

| Caring for Eyelash Extensions Eyelash extensions are a commitment, even if you plan to only get them once for a special event or occasion. You pay a good amount of money, lay in a chair for more than an hour and walk out looking like the prettiest version of yourself. Whether you plan to come back in a month for a fill or not, you want to keep those lashes looking beautiful, natural and healthy. Even the best eyelash extensions can be short-lived and even destructive to your natural lashes if you aren’t taking care of them. The good news is that taking good care of your eyelash extensions is actually very easy – and rewarding. By taking care of your extensions you can make them last longer, look prettier, and protect the growth of your natural eyelashes.eyelash vendors Come Prepared Show up to your appointment on time, with all of your eye makeup (lid, lashes and even below your eyes) carefully removed. Starting with clean lashes is a critical step for making sure your lash extensions go on correctly and stick appropriately for the longest possible lifespan. Not to mention your lash technician will have to remove the makeup for you, meaning less time for lash application. Make sure you have used the bathroom and taken a drink, and then get comfortable for the long haul. The less you move during the appointment the more likely you are to get clean and even lash application. Let them Cure For the first 24-48 hours the glue for your extensions will be curing, meaning they are still setting up. During this time it is important to keep them dry and as untouched as possible. Avoid applying makeup, washing your eye area, and even the steam from the shower. Try your best to sleep on your back, because sometimes rubbing your eyes into your pillow can loosen fresh lashes and cause them to fall out prematurely. Talk to your lash technician about this curing period and what she suggests to let your lashes set up safely. Keep it Oil-Free Makeup and beauty products are great and safe to use with eyelash extensions. Just be wary of products that rely on oil. Oil can break down some of the adhesives in the glue used for lash extensions, meaning they can twist and fall out before they are ready. When washing your face, use an oil-free cleanser and don’t scrub or pull at your lashes. If you snag the extensions on a cloth or cleanser pad it can pull out the extension and natural lash, tearing and damaging the eyelash follicle permanently! Just be gentle and careful. Get a Regular Fill Don’t wait too long to get a fill. Some people take their time between appointments to save money, but towards the date of their fill the extensions have grown out and started to twist and pull on the natural lashes. They are more likely to snag or irritate you, meaning you’ll touch, scrub and pull them out much more, damaging your natural lashes. Go see a lash technician to remove extensions if you don’t want a fill, or go get a regular fill to keep your lashes healthy and full. | ||

| Figuring out What Works in Bilingual Education In response to the growing demand, the Dallas school district today has 135 bilingual elementary schools, as well as a growing number of bilingual middle and high schools. With funding from a Latin American Studies Student Research Award from Bowdoin, Elliott is spending her summer investigating which of these schools most effectively promote Spanish language and cultural preservation in Latinx communities. bilingual teacher qualification "My biggest question is whether these programs help preserve Spanish language and Hispanic culture," she said. "I am looking at how the programs operate, if they have certified language teachers, and how they work for kids who are underserved." Bilingual or dual-language programs that teach half in English and half in Spanish are increasing in popularity in the area, according to Elliott, as more families see the value of having their children learn more than one language. The programs also specifically help the Hispanic children who speak Spanish as their first language close the achievement gap, since they can thrive in their Spanish classes while gaining proficiency in English. But the quality among the bilingual programs varies. In some cases, for example, students who speak English as a first language might be unintentionally favored. "English is still often preferred over Spanish in the schools, and it's kind of a challenge to prevent those students from gaining an advantage over the others," Elliott said. Additionally, some programs hire more Hispanic teachers and do a better job of weaving in cultural lessons that foster an appreciation of Latinx cultures and people. "This is not like teaching a foreign language," Elliott said. "You're teaching a language that's all around you and tied into the community. You have to create a curriculum suited for that." At the end of her research this summer—which she hopes to continue working on in graduate school—Elliott will write a paper based on her findings. A Hispanic studies and education double major at Bowdoin, Elliott is bilingual herself, having studied Spanish since middle school. She studied abroad in Spain her junior year.In the fall of 2020 Elliott will enroll in the Dallas/Fort Worth Urban Teachers program (she's already been accepted). Urban Teachers is a teaching residency program that combines classroom experience with advanced studies in education. All graduates leave with a master's degree from Johns Hopkins University School of Education and are guaranteed a teaching job. "I've always been interested in education because I've had amazing teachers in my life, and my dad has worked in education as long as I can remember," she said, adding that she hopes to teach elementary school students—and "would love to work in a bilingual classroom." | ||

| What is the best age for kids to start dance classes? Parents of young children often inquire: “What is the ideal age to enroll my kids in dance classes?” Surprisingly, age is not as important a factor as maturity, since all children develop at different rates.Children dancing course in Shanghai Parents should always take into consideration a child’s behavior, personality, and attention span. In addition, there are some important milestones that your child should reach before beginning class. These include walking, being potty-trained, taking direction, and listening to someone other than a parent. Typically, these milestones are achieved by age three maybe even by two and a half, and that’s a great time to start dance classes. It also happens to be about the same time children start preschool, or engage in other social activities, so a comfort level has already developed for being in a group setting. Usually 3-year-olds have overcome separation anxiety from their parents and have started to gain independence, allowing them to fully enjoy their dance classes. See which class is best for your child here. If a child is younger than the age of three or has not yet reached these important milestones, dancing can still become a fun and vital part of their home life until they are ready for the dance studio.

| International Polytechnic High School International Polytechnic High School, commonly abbreviated merely as iPoly, is a public college-preparatory demonstration high school (9-12) located on the California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona) campus and operated by the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) in conjunction with the College of Education and Integrative Studies at the university. iPoly's curriculum is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and is approved by the University of California and California State University. It maintains a unique affiliation with the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (LACHSA), which is also run by LACOE. Since iPoly does not lie in a fixed school district, it draws students from throughout Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange and Riverside counties. The majority of students come from the Pomona and San Gabriel valleys. In 2009 and 2013, iPoly was honored as a California Distinguished School by the California Department of Education.International high school create a model of curriculum reform by designing and implementing an entire high school course of study using an interdisciplinary and international curriculum approach and better prepare students to enter either higher education or the world of work. The planning team consisted of forty-seven professionals representing LACOE, Cal Poly Pomona, and the local business community. The original concept was described in the following manner: The model is project-based and experiential in nature. It is essentially student-centered and driven, and incorporates new technologies, as well as a new understanding of the kind of journey students and educators will take through a dynamic, global, 21st century landscape. The basic components consists of progressive educational principles, global perspectives and analysis, and interdisciplinary study. The school first accepted students in 1993, with a class of twelve freshmen, and graduated its first class of approximately 20 students in 1997, with a full graduating class in 1998.[3] Originally, the campus was located in portables adjacent to the buildings of the College of Arts on the Cal Poly campus. These portables were later moved to the edge of the Cal Poly campus in Parking Lot K. A new $20 million, state-of-the art, high school facility opened in the fall of 2012 at the cross street of University Drive and Temple Avenue on the campus of Cal Poly. In its early years, iPoly was a member of the Coalition of Essential Schools, but its membership later lapsed. The original model divided the world into different projects concentrating on each project, but that was later dropped as transferring students' curriculum became too difficult. Originally, iPoly also participated in the California Interscholastic Federation with a basketball team, but that was later dropped and iPoly students have the opportunity to play high school athletics at their home schools teams.[5] (There is currently only one student participating in this) In addition, the original model was to have teachers from their home districts "rotate in" for a few years and then use the lessons learned from their teaching at their other schools. Due to the constant turnover, that was later de-emphasized and a smaller number of rotating teachers intermingle with teachers on long-term contract. Today, under the guidance of CEIS, iPoly is evolving into a teacher training and demonstration site. It is envisioned that iPoly will serve as a staff development hub for the surrounding school districts. However, it is not a charter school or a magnet school, nor does it have any formal relationship with the other districts. | ||

| Fengxian's makeover attracts day-trippers Fengxian District’s name literally means “to respect the nobility” as early residents offered help to Yan Yan, an apprentice of Confucius, during the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC).The second China International Import Expo will be held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai from November 5 to 10, 2019.For further information about China International Import Expo, please visit: https://www.shine.cn/China-International-Import-Expo/ or https://www.shine.cn/ciie2019/v1.To get more ciie shanghai, you can visit shine news official website. The district on the city’s southernmost outskirts now aims to become the central hub for the world’s cosmetics and health industries, while preserving its authentic agricultural and rural lifestyle. A one-day trip to Fengxian can start from a historic floodwall which is being developed into a heritage park, along with a number of other nearby historical and cultural sites.Application has been tendered for the 4 kilometers that are left of the Huating Ancient Stone Dyke, dubbed the “Great Wall on the Sea,” to be listed as a national cultural heritage site. The dyke, in the district’s Zhelin Town, originally stretched 33 kilometers along Hangzhou Bay. The bulk of the structure was built in 1713 to stave off both floodwaters and pirates.The surviving section was unearthed in 1996. Built with four layers of stone bricks, it is about a meter high and follows the outline of the coastline to resist flooding more effectively. People began building floodwalls along the coastline in the Sui Dynasty (AD 581-618). Local people originally used clay for these walls, but then switched to more durable stone.Dyke building technology was further improved in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), when the stone wall was also used to resist Japanese pirates. The most solid section of the dyke was built in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) with granite bricks. Part of this section remains in Zhelin today.The dyke was later buried and its history forgotten. It was listed as a city-level cultural heritage site in 2002. Visitors can see other nearby historical sites that are to form a cluster of cultural relics in the southern outskirts. These include East Sea Guanyin Temple, dating back to the early Ming Dynasty, and Wanfoge Temple. The Eryan Temple, built during the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), has endured the vicissitudes of 800-plus years. Its oldest pavilion was destroyed during the “cultural revolution” (1966-76), and urban development caused what was left of the temple to be moved to its current location in 1993. It is still the grandest Buddhist temple in Fengxian. Every year, more than 100,000 people visit to pray and to admire two nearly 1,000-year-old ginkgo trees in the yard.The trees, which resemble two people standing side by side, are the biggest treasures of the temple. A fence surrounds them, providing a place for people to tie on red strips making wishes, mostly about love and marriage. The best season to visit the temple is late autumn, when the ginkgo leaves turn golden and fall like rain in a breeze, coating the ground with a shimmering blanket. With Buddhist chants in the background, the scene has a sacred, surreal feel. | ||

| CIIE provides a platform for cultural exchanges A total of 181 countries, regions and international organizations attended the second China International Import Expo (November 5-10), and more than 3,800 enterprises participated in the exhibitions, according to media reports.The second China International Import Expo will be held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai from November 5 to 10, 2019.For further information about China International Import Expo, please visit: https://www.shine.cn/China-International-Import-Expo/ or https://www.shine.cn/ciie2019/v1.To get more CIIE 2019, you can visit shine news official website. As the display of so many products is a veritable cultural crystallization from people all over the world, the event is nothing short of a confluence of different cultures in the Chinese landscape.The CIIE is another milestone in terms of facilitating “bringing in” through “going out.” At present, cultural “going out” is often understood to be a uni-directional event. As a matter of fact, wherever communication occurs, there is bound to be target audience and responses, suggesting that all kinds of communication occur in two or more directions, and mutual learning always results in mutual benefits. It is easy to see that cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries are typically interactive, taking place in multiple directions. This has been proved from a historical point of view. When Zhang Qian (164-114 BC), a Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24) explorer and the Silk Road opener, traveled from the Chinese heartland to West Asia and then back, he not only made Chinese culture felt westward, over mountains and across rivers, but also took home grapes, alfalfa, pomegranates and flax. Most significantly, he had left us an invaluable spiritual legacy, born of his observations and reflections along the Silk Road, which gave rise to an open view on the part of the Chinese civilization and resulted in an appreciative interaction between Chinese and outside civilizations. More recent representative was Zheng He (1371-1433), a well-famed navigator who, heading his titanic expeditionary fleet, traveled southward and westward across the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean seven times, helping disseminate Chinese technology, arts and civilization in dozens of countries in Asia and Africa, sowing the seeds of such essentially Chinese concepts as benevolence and righteousness, temperateness and kindness, and the overriding worth of harmony. Meanwhile, he was also instrumental in bringing home advanced technology and culture from where he visited, making the Maritime Silk Road a path to peace. Thus the ancient Silk Road had all along been a two-way communication, leading to innovation, cultural inspiration and harvests. Today what enabled the ancient Silk Road to be a meeting place of different civilizations would continue to make the import expo a fertile soil for exchange of cultures, in the context of the new era. But there is a difference to this. The going out of Chinese culture in the new era is informed by the volition to build a path of cooperation across different sectors. Given the differences in economic circumstances of so many countries, China naturally should put more emphasis on support in economic and cultural terms. And for any culture to take roots and grow in an alien soil, it needs to first of all have the soil and space necessary for development, and should leverage the political, social and living resources of the indigenous country. In return, the flowering of the culture in foreign soil would come to nourish the culture back home.Chinese culture is in essence a culture informed by harmony with nature, the love of society and others. The import expo provides a good platform for cultivating this spirit. | ||

| Triamterene Powder-Hydrochlorothiazid This drug is used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This medication is a combination of two "water pills" (diuretics): triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide. This combination is used by people who have developed or are at risk for having low potassium levels on hydrochlorothiazide. It causes you to make more urine, which helps your body get rid of extra salt and water.wisepoqder β-agonist Powder This medication also reduces extra fluid in the body (edema) caused by conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease. This can lessen symptoms such as shortness of breath or swelling in your ankles or feet. How to use Triamterene-Hydrochlorothiazid Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually once daily in the morning with or without food. It is best to avoid taking this medication within 4 hours of your bedtime to prevent having to get up to urinate. If you also take certain drugs to lower your cholesterol (bile acid-binding resins such as cholestyramine or colestipol), take this product at least 4 hours before or at least 4 to 6 hours after these medications.The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. It is important to continue taking this medication even if you feel well. Most people with high blood pressure do not feel sick. Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens (for example, your blood pressure readings increase). | ||
| add to favorites | Timolol Powder Eyedrops for Acute Migraine Attacks | Cars |
| Timolol Powder Eyedrops for Acute Migraine Attacks The oral beta-blockers approved for migraine prophylaxis may not be effective for acute attacks because of slow absorption and modification by first-pass metabolism, which delays effective plasma levels for hours or even days. With timolol eyedrops, maximum plasma concentration is achieved within 15 minutes of administration. In a pilot study, Cossack et al. tested the effectiveness of the eyedrops as an abortive migraine treatment and found it helpful for some patients.wisepoqder Timolol powder This placebo-controlled crossover study was conducted among 10 adults with recurrent migraine, with or without aura, who were recruited from the authors’ neurology and ophthalmology clinics. Patients were assigned randomly to receive timolol maleate 0.5% or artificial tears (placebo) and were instructed to insert 1 drop in each eye at migraine onset and 30 minutes later. The participants were seen monthly for 4 months (5 visits per patient). After a 3-day washout at the 2-month mark, they were switched to the opposite treatment arm. Patients ranked the severity of each migraine attack on a scale of 0 (least) to 3 (greatest) and rated the effectiveness of each treatment on a scale of 1 (least) to 4 (greatest). Among the 10 patients, 198 migraine attacks occurred during the study period. Four patients reported that timolol was highly effective in comparison to placebo; another patient noted the opposite. Thirty-seven (67%) of 55 migraines that occurred during timolol use had severity of none to mild at 2 hours, versus 58 (75%) of the 77 migraines during placebo use. No adverse events were observed during the study. | ||

| Terbutaline powder prevented nocturnal hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes Terbutaline may be a safe and effective treatment option for prevention of nocturnal hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes.wisepoqder Terbutaline Researchers of a randomized, controlled trial examined whether terbutaline prevented nocturnal hypoglycemia without causing morning hyperglycemia in 15 patients with type 1 diabetes. Patients randomly assigned to 2.5 mg terbutaline (Brethine, Novartis) had a mean nadir nocturnal plasma glucose concentration of 100 mg/dL compared with 122 mg/dL with 5 mg terbutaline and 87 mg/dL with placebo (see chart). In the 2.5-mg terbutaline group, seven patients reached nadir nocturnal concentrations <70 mg/dL, six reached concentrations <60 mg/dL and two reached concentrations <50 mg/dL. Further, three patients assigned to 5-mg terbutaline reached nadir levels <70 mg/dL; none of these patients reached any level lower than that. Morning plasma glucose levels were 127 mg/dL with 2.5 mg terbutaline, 183 mg/dL with 5 mg terbutaline and 113 mg/dL with placebo. “These data confirm a high frequency of nocturnal hypoglycemia in patients with aggressively treated type 1 diabetes. These data also confirm that bedtime administration of 5 mg terbutaline effectively prevents nocturnal hypoglycemia,” the researchers wrote. Hypoglycemia is the limiting step to glycemic control in patients with diabetes. It can be serious and is occasionally fatal. The majority of hypoglycemic episodes occur at night. Therefore, efforts to reduce the risk of nocturnal hypoglycemia would be well directed. The group of Cryer et al at Washington University have made a life career of addressing the biology of hypoglycemia. This report is a follow-up of earlier work from the same laboratory showing a beneficial effect of terbutaline (5 mg) in decreasing hypoglycemia overnight, but that dose was associated with undesirable hyperglycemia in the morning. The current study tested a smaller dose (2.5 mg) of terbutaline and seems to have nailed the matter squarely. It seems, therefore, that terbutaline can be added to other existing strategies for reduction of nocturnal hypoglycemia. These other strategies include bedtime caloric supply, recalibration of antidiabetic medications, limitation of alcohol intake, exercise counseling, self-blood glucose monitoring (especially in the ‘wee’ hours), prompt recognition and intervention for hypoglycemia unawareness, among others. The fact that the study included just 15 patients with type 1 diabetes is an obvious limitation. Therefore, a larger study expanded to even patients with type 2 diabetes (many of whom are also at risk for hypoglycemia) would be most welcome. | ||

| Terbutaline powder Poses Severe Risks to Pregnant Women The FDA is notifying health care professionals -- specifically, family physicians and OB-Gyns -- that it is requiring the addition of a new boxed warning and contraindication to terbutaline's drug labeling to warn health care professionals about the severe cardiovascular and other risks these products pose for pregnant women. FDA officials also have agreed to reclassify terbutaline from a pregnancy category B drug to a pregnancy category C drug in response to a 2008 citizen petition.wisepoqder β-agonist Powder Terbutaline is approved to prevent and treat bronchospasm associated with asthma, bronchitis and emphysema, but the drug also has been used off-label for obstetric purposes, including treating preterm labor and uterine hyperstimulation. In addition, terbutaline has been used for longer periods of time to prevent recurrent preterm labor. However, new safety information reviewed by the FDA indicates that death and serious adverse reactions, including increased heart rate, transient hyperglycemia, hypokalemia, cardiac arrhythmias, pulmonary edema and myocardial ischemia, have been reported after prolonged administration of oral and injectable terbutaline to pregnant women. In a Feb. 17 safety alert(www.fda.gov), the FDA acknowledged that administering terbutaline by injection to a pregnant women in urgent obstetrical situations within a hospital setting may be appropriate based on a physician's clinical judgment. However, the agency said terbutaline administered by injection or by continuous infusion pump should not be used beyond 48-72 hours. The agency also emphasized that injectable terbutaline should not be used in the outpatient or home setting. Furthermore, the FDA said oral terbutaline is contraindicated for the treatment or prevention of preterm labor because it has not been shown to be effective and has safety concerns similar to those associated with the injectable form of the drug. The agency advised that women who are taking terbutaline for asthma or other medical conditions should talk with their physician if they are pregnant or become pregnant to determine whether use of the drug should be discontinued. | ||
