Why warm ups increase performance and reduce risk of injury
By Jesse Kepka
NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach and Corrective Exercise Specialist
The consensus on warm-ups seems to be that they are a small enough part of the workout to be forgotten and therefore deemed unnecessary. Let's face it, they are less than exciting. Hitting a personal record on a back squat is so much more enticing. But know that this 10-minute segment of your sweat-fest is a stealthy way to level-up in your performances.
There are two types of warm-ups: general and specific. Both should last at least 10 minutes, and both will involve low-intensity, cardiovascular and/or muscular movements. A general warmup does not necessarily relate to the workout that follows and can include time on a stationary bike, rowing machine, elliptical or treadmill. This is applicable before any type of workout.
A specific warm-up involves low-intensity movements that will mimic the exercises to follow and includes dynamic stretching. An example of a specific workout before weight training can be air squats, pushups, lateral lunge pulses, shoulder gators, light band rows etc.
It is important to note that both types of warm-ups should include self-myofascial release and static stretching if you have musculoskeletal imbalances. This will decrease movement compensations and help you avoid injury. For beginners, self-myofascial release can be done with a foam roller. While being conscious of your posture, apply pressure to overactive and shortened (tight) muscles for at least 30 seconds once you find a tender spot. Staying free of knots will enhance your neuromuscular communication and help keep those joints pain-free. Again, static stretching involving longer holds is only for imbalances. Otherwise, keep the stretching to active, short holds for more repetitions.
Among the benefits of warming up, there are three main points to focus on. The first is increased heart and respiratory rate. It will essentially increase your capacity to perform work in those areas. Blood and oxygen will pump to the newly activated muscle tissue, making it ready to rock.
With this increased flow of goodness, tissue temperatures will rise (hence "warm up"), and you will find yourself more flexible, which again, is so good for joint mechanics and clean, safe movements. The elevated temperature will also raise your metabolic rate. We do love that! Burn, calories, burn!
Lastly, and my favorite part, is it just plain pumps you up. Being psychologically prepared – having your head right – can have huge effects on your willingness to work hard to the very last repetition. And nobody has time to waste even a single rep these days. Make them all count. Mental readiness is an exceptional tool for progression.
In client and personal experience, it seems like the older we get, the longer it takes to warm up. Depending on your level of soreness from a previous workout, it could take a little longer as well. I allow myself at least 20 minutes of time for a short jog and specific stretching to my body imbalances before my own trainer runs me through a second warm-up specific to his plan for me that day. So I'm at about 30 minutes for warming up each time. (Just for reference, I'm 38 years old and usually a bit sore.) And as far as mental capacities, we are all extremely unique. So, I would recommend doing what is best for your body and what readies you to go beast-mode!
Do you want to level up? Nail your warm-up.

It may be another summer of staycations as the World Health Organisation has asked Ireland to holiday at home once again.
In the summer of 2020, most Irish residents stayed on the island and embraced what our beautiful country has to offer.
Today's top videos
There is still more to explore and it seems Ireland will be faced with another few months of road trips and train journeys rather than jetting off on an airplane.
Dr Margaret Harris from the World Health Organisation spoke to Morning Ireland on RTE Radio 1 about the hope for normality and if summer holidays abroad will return.
When asked if Ireland will go back to normal, she responded: 'If that's a normality that we understand that we've still got this great threat to us, a species, it will work.
'But last year it was more like, "Oh well, that's over and let's party." Let's not go in that direction.'
Dr Harris was then asked if international travel borders should be part of the plans for summer, to which she urged Ireland to 'enjoy your locale'.
'There are reasons to travel, there are reasons when you need to see people urgently or be together urgently, if a family member is nearing the end of life or some other reasons.
'But this summer... Personally I would say enjoy your country, enjoy your locale, and enjoy good health.
'So no summer holidays?' she was asked.
'I think of holidays as time off, times of when you rest but you don't necessarily have to be taking extra risks to enjoy a holiday.'
Meanwhile the European Commission has proposed to create a Digital Green Certificate.
Earlier this month, the EC proposal stated a Digital Green Certificate will facilitate safe free movement inside the EU during the COVID-19 pandemic.
It will be a proof that a person has been vaccinated against COVID-19, received a negative test result or recovered from COVID-19.
The certificate will be free of charge in either a digital or paper format and will include a QR code to ensure security and authenticity of the certification.

MV Rachel Corrie 400 miles from Gaza, invites UN to inspect cargo
Speaking from Istanbul, Dr Fintan Lane, of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC), spoke of his experiences on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla which was attacked by Israeli forces on Monday and his time in Israeli detention. He said he was assaulted in custody, while three other Irish received severe beatings and one. Dr. Lane is due to return to Ireland tomorrow afternoon where he will address a press conference in the City Centre.
Meanwhile, the Irish ship the MV Rachel Corrie continues en route o Gaza and is currently 400 miles away and is expected to arrive on Saturday. Speaking from the aid carrying ship, Dennis Halliday said: We want to emphasise that our aim is not provocation but getting our aid cargo into Gaza. We are calling on the UN to inspect the cargo and escort us into Gaza, and to send a UN representative to sail on board before they enter the exclusion zone. We all remain in good spirits, and we want to thank everyone all over the world for all their support. The boat is traveling at approximately 210 miles a day, and is being captain by Eric Harcis, a Scottish man from Orkney.
Tthe IPSC with the support of ICTU has called a mass demonstration at 2pm on Saturday against the killings and in support of the Rachel Corrie.
Speaking from a hotel room in Istanbul, Dr Lane gave an update on the status of the Irish passengers who had been kidnapped by Israel on Monday. Dr Lane said: I am currently in a hotel with Fiachra O Luian, both of us arrived here late last night. Fiachra was beaten up at the airport and has to go into hospital today for tests. Al Mahdi Al Harati suffered a diabetes related seizure on the plane and this, coming on top of a severe attack he received on board the Mavi Marmara, meant he had to be brought to hospital in Ankara last night.
Dr Lane continued: Ken OKeefe, the Irish-American passenger, suffered a severe beating at the hands of security officials at Tel Aviv airport before boarding, and his injuries were so bad that he had to be hospitalised in Tel Aviv the Israelis are claiming this delay in his repatriation is for technical reasons, yet another Israeli lie. Finally, a number of passengers are still unaccounted for, no one Ive spoken to knows where these people are, it is very worrying.
Dr Lane also spoke about the Israeli attack and hijacking of his ship, and his time is captivity. He said: When they boarded our boat, we resisted entirely peacefully. I sat on the floor and tried to reason with them, but the Israeli commandos physically attacked us. Fiachra was dragged around the ground and I had a gun pointed in my face by a screaming commando. His mania was so intense that I genuinely feared for my life. Others received beatings.
When they finally took over our ship, and forced us to dock in Ashdod, we refused to disembark. We sat down, linked arms and said that we had been illegally kidnapped and brought against our will to Israel. We were all forcibly removed from the boat and brought to interrogation rooms in the port. At this point, I refused to hand over my passport, restating my position that I would not cooperate with my illegal detention and was under no obligation to do so. I was then physically assaulted, my arms were painfully twisted behind my back for prolonged periods and my passport taken.
We were then transferred to the prison in Beer Shevva though were told we were in Tel Aviv by our captors and held incommunicado until it was announced that we were all to be deported. It was only at that time that we finally met with the Irish Ambassador.
In prison I was told about events on the Mavi Marmara, people being shot, left to bleed to death, beaten and bitten by dogs. By all accounts it sounded like it was hell on that boat.
Dr Lane will arrive back in Ireland tomorrow afternoon he will be on a plane from Istanbul that leaves at 10.45am (local time) and is scheduled to arrived in Dublin at 1.20pm. When he arrives back in Ireland, there will be a welcoming committee at the airport, and Dr Lane will address a press conference in the City Centre later tomorrow. Full details of this welcoming committee and press conference will be circulated in a further press release.
In Turkey today, thousands attended the funerals of the 9 confirmed dead passengers all of whom are Turkish, expect one who was an American of Turkish origin. In other news, South African has just announced that it is recalling its Ambassador to Israel over the Flotilla killings.
Finally, the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC), with the support of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) has called for a mass mobilisation in Dublin on Saturday to protest the killings, to support of the MV Rachel Corrie and to call for an end to the illegal three-year-old Israeli siege of Gaza. The event starts at 2pm at the Garden of Remembrance where a wreath will be laid in memory to the dead, and will be followed by a march to the Department of Foreign Affairs, where there will be speakers from the Freedom Flotilla, the IPSC, the ICTU and the Irish politicians.
Fintan, it is a great relief to hear that you are relatively well after your ordeal, although it is limned with sadness and anger at the inhuman and criminal way that the Israeli state and its armed thugs treated you and your colleagues on the Freedom Flotilla. Peacefully challenging the lunatic criminal state that is Israel is the most dangerous solidarity work in the world, and I have the utmost admiration for those indefatigable activists that carry the burden of bearing witness to the atrocities visited daily on the Palestinian people and carrying out acts of solidarity and mercy like the Freedom Flotilla. These tasks, though fraught with lethal danger as the criminal assault and mass kidnap on the high seas Monday morning once again reminded us, are utterly necessary and, I salute you all for carrying the message and will of the conscientious people of the world to this lunatic, criminal and out-of-control régime.
I've gone and changed it again.I dont believe the Israeli ambassador should be expelled.I think he should be stripped of his credentials and arrested for complicity in high seas piracy, abduction and abuse of humanitarian aid workers.Time for someone who knows their way around a law book to register a charge.I believe there are courageous Spanish precedents that can be drawn on that arose to give Pinochet a belated dart in his inflated arse.Perhaps our own president could apply her legal skills,given the abuse of our passport security.There is a human rights institute attached to the galway university that might justify its funding from the public budget by issuing a statement as to our options.The logic of Israel seems to be the logic of Mars.Was it Orwell or Huxley coined 'war is peace,peace is war'?
Joe Biden has publicly stated his support for Israeli crimes and believes that they should hold their own enquiry. Since when is it feasable for criminals to investigate their own crimes?
Ireland and other EU countries are afraid of upsetting America who in my opinion is just as guilty as the Israelis.
Even though American citizens are harmed by Israel it means nothing to unscrupulous American interests. While america gives it's consent Israel will continue to commit crimes against humanity.
It is time to call a halt to deliberate injustice and stand up to these bullies.
Good luck best wishes and my admiration to all the courageous people involved in the flottila and the crew of the Rachel Corrie.
You have made a post that dares to criticize Israel. As you know, this obviously makes you an anti-semite. I would like to point out the important following facts that are relevant to to each and every discussion on the subject of Israeli rights and wrongs:
# No jewish person has every been guilty of any crime, anywhere - suggestions to the contrary prove that you are obviously an anti-semite
# 6 million Jews died in the holocaut
# You are an anti-semite.
# 6 million Jews died in the holocaust.
# You are an anti-semite.
# 6 million Jews died in the holocaust.
Therefore, given the list of highly relevant points raised by us, above, it is clear that your claim of Israel attacking a humanitarian aid flotilla in international waters is motivated solely by your own, genetically-encoded since time immemorial, propensity for Jew-hate and is obviously anti-semitic nonsense and people should continue to send money and military support to Israel.
Yours sincerely,
The Government of Israel
P.S. you are an anti-semite.
A highly respected Washington analyst, Tony Cordesman, at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, expresses how Israel in now a strategic liability for the US.
"It is time Israel realized that it has obligations to the United States, as well as the United States to Israel, and that it become far more careful about the extent to which it tests the limits of U.S. patience and exploits the support of American Jews."
It appears that the US is tiring of Israel in the wake of this most recent act of state terrorism.

Real Madrid and Barca players are already in Riyadh Saudi Arabia, as they get set for their first-leg Supercopa de Espana semi-final game on Wednesday.
According to the report by MARCA on Monday, the Real Madrid and Barca Supercopa de Espana semi-final game will be hosted by Saudi Arabia who has been desperate to host one of the most famous football rivalries in the world.
Real Madrid and Barca Supercopa de Espana first leg of the semi-final game will take place on Wednesday night.
The most simple solution to stage El Clasico would have been to set up a friendly match between the two sides, but Saudi Arabia wanted to increase the stakes.
Saudi Arabia agreed to a three-year deal to host the Supercopa de Espana from 2020 to 2022. The first edition had the potential of a Clasico final, but Barcelona were knocked out by Atletico Madrid in their semi-final.
Real Madrid's second place in last season's LaLiga Santander and Barcelona's Copa del Rey victory set up the prospect of a clash between Spain's two biggest football clubs at the King Fadh International Stadium.
The decline of Barcelona over the last 18 months means there is more pressure on the Blaugrana to beat Real Madrid. Coach Xavi Hernandez faces a big task to prove he can move Barcelona back in the right direction.
Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club will meet in the other Supercopa de Espana semi-final on Thursday, with the final taking place on Sunday.

On 2 November 2020, YPO abandoned its purchase of Findel after the CMA concluded that blocking the purchase was likely to be the best remedy for the competition concerns raised by the deal. Three days later, the CMA found that a block was the best remedy for the competition issues arising from FNZ's purchase of GBST (which had already completed). These findings by the CMA followed detailed and lengthy Phase II reviews.
These are the seventh and eighth cases in a period of less than two years where, following detailed Phase II reviews, mergers have been abandoned because of the likelihood of the CMA blocking the deal or the deal being blocked by the CMA.
These deals emphasise the tough stance that can be taken by the CMA when examining mergers between leading players in a given segment, and highlight the importance of merger control advice and risk analysis at the very start of potential transactions where there are competitive overlaps between the parties.
[P]rohibition [of the merger] would represent a comprehensive solution to all aspects of the SLC...prohibition would be a proportionate remedy

What Is Trading Arcade?
A trading arcade offers and manages a shared workspace used by day traders. This shared workspace is a way for the firm to collect talent, resources, education, and capital to develop and support traders who want to work in leveraged trading.
Key Takeaways
- Trading arcades are shared workspaces catering to the needs of day traders with the goal of collecting talent, resources, education, and capital.
- Trading arcades aren't as popular as they were in the late 1990s when digital trading was introduced.
- Trading arcades provide day traders with resources like high-speed Internet connections, computer hardware, trading software and conference rooms.
- Users can rent access to trading arcades or pay through a percentage of their profits.
Understanding Trading Arcade
While trading arcade firms share similarities with proprietary trading firms, their business models differ. Still, technological shifts in trading make such distinctions rather fluid over time. Trading arcade firms typically specialize in forex or futures trading.
Trading arcades became popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s as the digitization of financial markets led to the rise of day trading. As growing numbers of traders began operating from home, the need arose for shared workspace, where traders could share information and trading-related expenses. These facilities offer shared services such as high-speed Internet connections, monitors and other hardware, conference rooms, and subscriptions to trading software.
Some traders prefer trading arcades over working in isolation, due to the social environment they foster. The arcades also cut expenses by spreading the costs of shared services among members.
Trading arcades offer dynamics that led to the rise of coworking companies like WeWork. While this kind of office arrangement has become increasingly popular in recent years, the money involved in a trading arcade made it more economically viable years earlier.
Today many proprietary traders work from home or remote offices, while others will work in the firm's office with an environment similar to a trading arcade. Among proprietary firms, the best traders trade from the main office. Trading arcades attempt to maximize the use of the physical space and the benefits of having traders in proximity.
Trading arcades are mostly primarily in London, though they can be found across the globe. Trading arcades tend to specialize in forex and futures markets, where non-U.S. locations have an advantage in greater leverage and lower regulation.
Trading Arcade Business Model
Trading arcades typically make money by renting access to the shared space and its resources. To gain access, a trader will often be expected to become a member of the firm. By contributing rent toward a common set of resources, trading arcade members are able to access the space, technology, and ancillary services that were once only available to professional trading firms, and contribute to the value of the space.
Depending on the business model of the trading arcade and the size of the firm, the firm might offer services that include training, coaching, trading software, consulting services, and even financial capital; however, the latter is more commonly made available in proprietary trading firms.
Cost of Trading
Since the advent of electronic trading about two decades ago, traders have been able to access a growing wealth of information on the securities they trade. However, this access can come at a substantial cost. For instance, a single Bloomberg terminal costs around $24,000 a year.
Since most novice and intermediate traders are unsuccessful, the most common forms of a business model for the trading arcade will include making money on the churn of the new traders coming in to learn, paying for a while, then quitting the occupation.
Payment schemes vary among arcades. Some may exclusively charge monthly rents for the different tiers of service offerings, while others will secure payment in the form of a share of traders' profits.
However, the most successful firms have models giving them the incentive to train enough traders to be profitable. The firm then provides ways for these highly successful traders to trade larger amounts of capital in exchange for a profit-sharing schedule.

Murray Leinster

Bors felt as if he'd been hit over the head. This was ridiculous! He'd planned and carried out the destruction of that warship because the information of its existence and location was verified by a magnetometer.
But, if he'd known how the information had been obtained--if he'd known it had been guessed at by a discharged spaceport employee, and a paranoid personality, and a man who used a hazel twig or something similar--if he'd known that, he'd never have dreamed of accepting it. He'd have dismissed it flatly! (Summary from the Gutenberg text) (6 hr 9 min)

one of my favorites
Sean Dayotas
This story is about a colonized world that is doomed to be taken over by a terrible regime. I would recommend this to any X - men fan.
4-1/2, but then they knew that
Juan Morris
A very good read. I'm surprised that during the golden days of b&w TV, this wasn't made into a movie. Then again, they did think Star Trek was too cerebral. This story more than makes up for, "operation outer space." My only detraction is the admiral's cowardice should have earned his decommission. Heck, were I king, wouldn't have asked for, nor accepted his resignation; I'd have forced him into one-on-one combat with the strongest most deadly soldier (who is order to hospitalize his opponent) and let the admiral offer surrender to the pre-commissioned soldier. Thereby forcing the condition he wanted for his subordinates on him.
Fantastic Sci-Fi story
This is the first time I've come across this story. I can't believe I missed it after all of these years of reading science fiction. This is the stuff of real classic science fiction but with a very interesting wit about it. I listened to it because it was read by the incomparable Mark Nelson but the story really won me over on its own. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys Classic sci-fi.
loved it
read so well, some deadpan humour and the not of the norm thinking processes of Morgan really got me hooked to see where the ideas were going. An excellent read and one of my favourites to date.
Chris Harris
I would have Mark Nelson read me bed time stories every night.
Excellently read, a great space romp
This is the third Murray Leinster story I've listened to, one after the next. it's brilliantly read by the wonderful Mark Nelson. I really enjoyed most of it, and it's got some great ideas (and Leinster's habit of slipping a recap in every so often was helpful too) but good grief, King Humphry is literally the worst monarch in literature! I'd love a reboot of this tale where they rise up and depose his dithering, baleful, hopeless self and put someone more competent in his place. maybe a sack of potatoes or something. I'm pleased to know Leinster wrote many more Sci fi tales and I hope that many of them are read here by Mark Nelson and I'll be happy listening in for a long time yet.
Super Fun
Reader is, of course, is great. But the story is great too. One of my favorites is the story of the reluctant hero and this is one of the best. only a very few science fictiony plot twists so the story shines through as it should.
fun sci fi romp
A fun sci fi romp! It has some obtuse characters at times, but they blend to make a fun plot. Very entertaining. Mark Nelson is a gifted reader who makes even bad books something I will listen to and good books a sheer pleasure

For seven years, Leila Benitez has worked as a cabin cleaner at Miami international airport for the Spain-based contractor Eulen America. The company employs 3,000 workers at airports throughout the US, with about 1,500 working in Miami.
The working conditions at Eulen America, Benitez said, are deplorable. Vehicles used to travel between planes often don't work and are infested with roaches. The doors, brakes and gas gauges on cars don't function correctly and seats are filled with holes. Workers are often denied breaks, adequate access to water and are treated poorly overall, Benitez said.
Eulen America has recently come under fire for working conditions and treatment of their workers at Miami's airport. Last month, the Florida congresswomen Donna Shalala and Frederica Wilson, both Democrats, hosted a roundtable with several workers to discuss worker treatment and to pressure American Airlines and Delta to take action, as both major airlines currently have contracts with Eulen America.
But since that meeting, workers who spoke to the Guardian claim they have faced retaliation and intimidation for speaking out and engaging in union organizing with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). Rather than helping with their fight for better conditions, the appearance of the politicians has instead triggered retaliation, workers said.
"I was one of the speakers at the roundtable. Right after that they started cutting my hours," said Benitez. "The next day I came in, my manager told me I was going to get a warning from something three weeks before due to another worker in my crew who missed cleaning a spot on a plane, and they had already given that worker a warning."
Ernest Lozano, a ramp worker at Eulen for over a year, attended the hearing as well and claimed his manager banned him from eating lunch in the break room the next day.
He now has to eat in the lavatory truck he works in where the plane waste is kept.
In September 2018, Lozano injured his back on the job and was just sent home for a couple of days without pay. When he returned to work, Lozano wound up injuring his back again to the extent he couldn't get back up. "I hurt my spine completely, cracked a couple of vertebrae," he said.
Lozano explained work injuries are increasingly common as Eulen has reduced staff personnel to crews since he started working there. "My doctor couldn't believe I'm only 21 years old and have so many injuries to my back that will basically affect me the rest of my life." he said.
Joseph Palma, 40, recently had a stroke, but could only take three days off from work as Eulen doesn't offer workers paid time off or sick days. He has worked at Eulen assisting customers for over a year.
"Two weeks ago, supervisors in the office said there were going to be a lot of consequences for workers asking for better conditions," Palma said. "They said the only right you have is to clock in and clock out."
The day after attending the same roundtable, Palma was switched to help clean airplane cabins, a job he has never done or trained for. He believes it was retaliation.
Before the roundtable meeting and news reports on working conditions, a worker for Eulen at Miami international airport who requested to remain anonymous in fear of retaliation, told the Guardian they were placed in a meeting in early April 2019 with their supervisor, who told them and other workers not to get involved with the union.
"One of the supervisors told me and a group of workers that we should not get involved with the union because the same thing that happened to people in Triangle [another airport contract that unionized] would happen to us, that they fired 10 people for getting involved with the union," the worker said. The SEIU noted Triangle never fired workers for unionizing. "He also told us that the union was going to give a list to Eulen of the people that had signed and that Eulen would fire these people and be more strict with them."
Eulen America has a record of union busting. In 2016, Joanne Alexander was fired as a cabin cleaner at Fort Lauderdale airport after being heavily involved in pushing for Broward county's living wage ordinance to cover airport workers. When she went to renew her security clearance badge for the airport, she was told her application form was expired.
"I went back to the Eulen office, they said they wouldn't give me a new one, so I was fired and good luck," Alexander said.
In January 2018, the National Labor Relations Board ruled in her favor that she was wrongfully terminated and ordered Eulen to reinstate her, but they are still appealing against the decision. "I had two kids, I had bills to pay. I was struggling. After three or four months, I found another job," she said.
In 2015, Eulen also reached a settlement with another worker, agreeing to pay him more than $20,000 in back wages, though they did not admit any wrongdoing.
Eulen workers at other airports have also claimed the contractor treats workers poorly and creates unsafe working conditions.
"This is an internal problem within the company. The way they speak to us, they don't care about employees, it's just about getting the job done however they need to do it," said.
Giovhan Dejoie started working for Eulen America at John F Kennedy international airport as a baggage handler in November 2018.
Dejoie explained he has frequently had wages stolen from him by not being paid the correct amount of hours he had worked. "A manager recently asked me if I heard about the union and was told to not join them, 'You can't change the rules of this company,'" Dejoie added.
Eulen declined to comment on the record during the reporting of this story.
But after publication, a representative for Eulen America at Holland & Knight law firm told the Guardian in an email, "All Eulen America employees are treated with dignity and respect and the Eulen Group fully supports its employees worldwide who have decided to unionize, as well as those here in the United States who already have freely chosen not to do so."

The parents' guide to what's in this movie.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Stargirl offers a gentle entrée into high school life for tween viewers, and its "be yourself" message is potentially helpful for many of them as well. Based on the YA novel of the same name, the title character is a new girl to school who is eccentric and nonconformist but manages to be widely accepted anyway. In staying true to herself, despite peer pressure to change and better "fit in," she shows new boyfriend Leo, a shy kid who flies under the social radar, the value of believing in yourself. Stargirl and Leo hold hands and share several kisses. Leo remembers being pushed to the ground by bullies, who cut a tie his dad had given him in half. High school football players are knocked to the ground, and one is carried off in an ambulance. Teens are shown to be respectful and open with each other and the adults in their lives.

What's the Story?
When a free-spirited teen named STARGIRL enrolls in a small-town high school, her presence has ripple effects and will change the life of shy kid Leo. Stargirl (2016 America's Got Talent winner Grace VanderWaal) has been homeschooled and doesn't dress or act the way other kids do. But she quickly wins their affection when she takes to the field at halftime during a football match and sings a folksy school-spirit tune with her ukulele. The team scores a touchdown immediately after, and Stargirl takes on the aura of a good luck charm for the entire school. When she starts dating Leo (Graham Verchere), an unassuming boy also being raised by a single mother, his cachet at the school goes up. He's happy to finally fit in, but that's not who Stargirl is. Their friendship will teach him, and others at the school, the value of acceptance, kindness, and integrity.
Is It Any Good?
Stargirl's messages are positive ones for tween viewers, who will be drawn in thanks to the popularity of the book and the novelty of the film debut of VanderWaal. So, first things first: the young star gives a charming performance and proves she can act as well as sing. Co-star Verchere and a diverse supporting cast are equally charming. Fans of VanderWaal or the book likely won't be too put off by significant changes to the original story, the film's uneven pace, or some corny magical undertones.
Stargirl could be called the High School Musical of misfits and underdogs. But considering the majority of real-life teenagers are probably a lot more like Leo, Kevin, and even Stargirl than Troy, Sharpay, and the HSM gang, the film may actually be the more representative high school movie. There's no shortage of genre staples, including awkward encounters at school, football games, and the obligatory school dance. Stargirl falls into a growing body of films, like the HSM series, that show teens to be kinder, more genuine, and more accepting than the '80s screen teens of their parents' generation in, say, The Breakfast Club or Footloose. And while their typical teen identity issues are magnified in the age of social media, a minor theme in Stargirl, they're shown here to also benefit from healthier relationships with their parents. That, and the '80s musical references, make the film an okay watch for the whole family.

To the Editors:
In their MEDICC Review Perspective, Galindo-Santana and colleagues highlight the challenges presented by anti-vaccination groups, stressing that immunization is an essential cost-effective preventive measure that promotes population health.[11. Galindo-Santana BM, Cruz-Rodríguez E, López-Ambrón L. A Cuban perspective on the antivaccination movement. MEDICC Rev. 2019 Oct;21(4):64–9.] In 2019, WHO identified vaccine hesitancy, fragile and vulnerable settings and weak primary health care as 3 of 10 main global health threats. Close attention to these threats can detect potential areas of missed opportunities for immunization across populations and mitigate risk of preventable diseases.
In recent decades, expanding immunization coverage to reduce child morbidity and mortality from preventable communicable diseases has been an international priority: WHO developed the Expanded Programme on Immunization in 1974, established the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization in 1999, and accepted the Global Vaccine Action Plan 2011–2020 in 2012. Regional efforts in the Americas have successfully eliminated polio, rubella and neonatal tetanus, aiming to eliminate hepatitis B by 2020.[22. Pan American Health Organization. Basic indicators 2019: Health trends in the Americas [Internet]. Washington, D.C.: Pan American Health Organization; 2019 [cited 2020 Jul 5]. Available at: http://iris.paho.org/xmlui/handle/123456789/51543
http://iris.paho.org/xmlui/handle/123456... ] These goals require robust coordination efforts to strengthen global health workforce capacity, support educational outreach about adherence to vaccination schedules and expand service delivery to all communities. With recent resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases like measles, however, nations must identify gaps and challenges in immunization programs and explore opportunities to maintain high immunization coverage.
To strengthen immunization efforts in the Americas, we propose that leaders in ministries of health prioritize three actions. First, community-based research using quantitative and qualitative approaches can examine the determinants of health that influence community understanding of and adherence to recommended vaccination schedules. Second, capacity building for nurses and health promoters can offer accurate, up-to-date vaccination recommendations and reinforce competencies. Third, primary health care centers can promote holistic health through the One Health concept, which describes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, while dispelling myths and fostering provider–patient rapport and acceptance of evidence-based vaccination schedules.
Regional action for widespread adoption of evidence-based vaccination schedules is essential to safeguard population health. By prioritizing community-based research, health capacity building and the One Health concept, nations can accelerate progress to achieving high immunization coverage through Sustainable Development Goal targets 3.8 and 3.b.
