Everyone knows exercise is good for us. There are many types of exercises out there from lifting weights to yoga and pilates and all of them are great. But, do you exercise with the intention of improving your brain? We tend to get habitual with our exercise routines. Here at The Wellness Path we teach intentional and mindful exercises with the end goal being to improve the function of your brain.
The standard plane that we live in is the sagittal plane. But the body and brain live in three planes which include the sagittal, coronal, and transitional (rotatory) planes. These coronal and transitional planes are important in order to get the maximal effects of exercising for your brain! We incorporate neuro-rehab with all of our practice members and give them exercises to do at home to make sure they are active in all three of these planes.
So when it comes to your next workout, focus on the intention of what you want to create and what you are really trying to improve. If you want to improve your brain, make sure to incorporate all motions and planes. If you have any questions, just let us know!

West Indies will visit India within a few days and India is struggling to pick the squad for the upcoming test series. Here are some of the players who might not be picked by the selectors to play West Indies.
- Shikhar Dhawan
Shikhar Dhawan is one of the best players for India in the limited overs format and one cannot underrate his contributions to the team in the need of the hour. He did not do well in the test series against England. He finished the series with 162 runs from four matches and struggled to face Stuart Board and James Anderson. He didn't succeed to attack pacers on bouncy pitches of England.
- Murali Vijay
He is one of the batsmen who stood as top openers for India in the tests earlier but lost his form in the test series against England though he could do well for India A. He scored 76 runs from four innings and was dropped for the third test. He is known as the batsman with perfect technique but due to poor performances, he might lose his place to Mayank Agarwal or Prithwi Shaw.
- Dinesh Karthik
Recently he did well for India A. Due to injury woes of Wriddhiman Saha, he was provided an opportunity to play for the team for tests but could not make a good use of the chance. He could not do well but Wriddhiman's recovery takes time. If selectors want to replace him, KS Bharat is the option for them. He scored only 21 runs from four matches and was dismissed at 0 on two occasions.
- Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya is one of the splendid all-rounders for India. He made decent scores in the need of the hour and picked 10 wickets and scored 162 runs from four games. He is one of the regular members of the squad and keeping in mind his fitness and workload, Ashwin might replace him for the home series against West Indies.
- Ishant Sharma
He made a decent performance for the test series against England. He is one of the senior pacers in the test format. He picked 18 wickets from five games against England. He might be rested for the home series of tests keeping his heavy workload and series against Australia in December.

Three exclusive tracks from the live shows in December 2011.
Dave Douglas, trumpet; Vincent Chancey, horn; Luis Bonilla, trombone; Marcus Rojas, tuba; Rudy Royston, drums.
You Are Not Alone. A new arrangement for the brass mob — of a beautiful tune from the recent Mavis Staples record, composed by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy. The band played this a lot last summer, and this is the only recording available of the Brass Ecstasy version.
Safeway. Dave moved into a residency at the Aaron Copland house on January 7, 2011. On January 8, Rep. Gabby Giffords was shot in Tuscon, Arizona at a public meeting in front of a grocery store. This piece came about in response, and it was also the first thing Dave began to write in his residency. Safeway is an acknowledgement of Copland's public citizenship. There is also a pronounced use of open fifths that are a tip of the hat to the master's presence and his generosity.
Great Awakening. You may know this tune from Spirit Moves, the first recording of Brass Ecstasy. It's about being in church, and getting kicked in the ass by Lester Bowie. Luis Bonilla plays a typically vibrant and powerful solo. As Maude always says, "That was fun."

These days, the wide, wide world of medicine has provided different avenues in terms of which path a student can take . One of which is through becoming a certified nursing assistant. Rather than going for the usual four-year course plus training to become a nurse, people now have a shorter option in CNAs. And with the growing demand for such a profession, CNA training classes are now becoming a norm among medical practitioners . In a short span of time, people now have the advantage of applying for jobs in the field of medicine. Though they won't provide high salaries, they are still professions nonetheless . With this in mind, the internet has become one of the main sources in terms of looking for CNA training classes. As accessible and as hassle-free as these classes might be, are they really getting their money's worth with this type of training program?
In terms of accessibility, no doubt online training classes can be the best . You don't have to follow a strict schedule when it comes to attending classes. And just imagine how much easier life can be when all you need is your desktop and your connection for your class! Think of the possibilities that this advantage can provide to anyone! Other than accessibility, with CNA training classes online, you can save a lot of money. Regular classes tend to cost more and this has to not be the case, especially in a program that can be finished in not more than two years. If you do decide on taking the online class, take note that there is still a training program that you have to avail of personally. And obviously you won't be able to get that kind of training from sitting in front of your computer . No doubt, you will cut costs with a CNA class online. Keep in mind that you also need to partake of the training part if you want to be certified.
Nonetheless, at least it's good to know that you have cut the costs on your studies through online CNA training classes. But you still have to choose very appropriately and never settle for anything less when it comes to deciding upon your program. It has to be your initiative to look up on the CNA program that you are applying for. Find out if they really have the legitimacy to give out a diploma after you are done with their program. Because when it comes down to it, you are the only who knows which CNA classes are good for you. Don't settle for second best !
There is a whole lot more to CNA training that could be covered in this write-up. To read much more go to my free CNA training weblog today!

Even though companies are more likely to consider SaaS applications over on-premises options, that doesn't mean the extinction of in-house software. The cloud is powerful, but it's not that powerful.
Choosing between SaaS, on-premise, and off-premise or hosted applications can be a challenge. There are a lot of options to consider. Smaller companies and start-ups are more likely to choose SaaS because it is more affordable and quicker to start up. A smaller up-front investment looks good on a new organization's books and has a controlled monthly cost. Larger, established companies acquiring new businesses may consider SaaS for the new companies, while using licensed software at their main offices. Having already invested in on-site ERP at the office with software licenses lasting a few years or more, there is no need to pay for software again with SaaS. Most SaaS software, such as Microsoft Dynamics® ERP, can easily interact between the on-premise software at the main offices and with the SaaS at satellite locations.
SaaS can run on computers on-site or be delivered over the internet from an off-site location owned by the vendor or other third-party operator. Choosing between on-site and off-site deployment often boils down to whether the company has the means to employ an IT department capable of attending to the infrastructure. Maintaining security, functionality, and software training can be a big task and many companies are comfortable leaving some of these features up to vendors. Contracts with third parties delivering SaaS over the internet will clearly outline security measures, indicate what happens when there are outages, how back-ups and restorations might occur, and how they might address software glitches.
Microsoft Dynamics ERP is flexible and capable of operating smoothly in any situation – SaaS, on-site, and off-site deployments. Contact BDO IT Solutions for guidance on ERP software and deployment options that are most appropriate for your unique business needs.

To Understand A Russian Fireball, Physicists Turn To YouTube
This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
And I'm David Greene. Earlier this year, a 12,000 ton meteor exploded over Russia.
GREENE: Now, meteors don't buzz us every day so you might wonder why someone was recording that audio. Well, the explosion happened near Chelyabinsk, a city with more than a million people and plenty of drivers. And many Russian drivers keep dashboard cameras rolling all the time. They can be a way to prove to police what actually happened in an accident.
Dashboard cams and cell phones captured video of the fireball's flight and a lot of it's on YouTube. As NPR's Adam Cole reports, it's given scientists a way to figure out where that meteor came from and why we didn't see it coming.
ADAM COLE, BYLINE: The meteor started out as a small asteroid, one of the millions of unremarkable gray rocks circling the sun. But this particular asteroid had a cosmic traffic accident. Shortly after the sun rose over central Russia on February 15, this asteroid collided with the Earth's atmosphere and became a fiery meteor. And when the sun rose over Ontario 11 hours later, physicist Peter Brown turned on the television to hear this.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: An extraordinary spectacle lit up a piece of Russia's sky this morning.
PETER BROWN: I was almost in shock really for the first 24 to 48 hours.
COLE: Brown is a professor at Western University in Ontario and he studies how meteors explode.
BROWN: You know, the odds of this happening were so incredibly low, for me to see it in my lifetime, during my career is negligible.
ADAM CO,LE, BYLINE: Brown could've gone to YouTube to watch more videos of the meteor, but instead he pulled up that morning's data from a completely different source, the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization. The CTBTO maintains a global network of censors to make sure no one is blowing up nukes. They look for radioactive isotopes, seismic shocks and super low frequency soundwaves.
COLE: That's what 17 of those sensors picked up on February 15, with the frequency adjusted so humans can hear it. The soundwaves confirmed what Brown suspected. This was the largest so-called air burst in over a century, 30 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. It didn't cause as much damage because it exploded several miles up, but the blast still knocked people off their feet and broke windows, causing thousands of injuries.
It was a shock for citizens of Chelyabinsk, but an amazing opportunity for researchers.
BROWN: You could think of it as Christmas in meteor astronomy land. Now we have this event that's going to be able to answer all sorts of questions that we've been posing for years.
COLE: The last big meteor explosion happened back in 1908 over a remote corner of Siberia. To figure out its size and power, scientists had to examine the pattern of knocked down trees in the area. But this time scientists have way more data, not just from sensors and satellites but from all those uploaded YouTube videos. Brown and his colleagues from the Czech Republic have just published two papers based on this data in Nature magazine.
They analyzed videos from dashboard cams, video cameras installed by wary Russians as a defense against insurance fraud and police corruption. All those viewpoints allowed them to triangulate the meteor's exact trajectory. They also calculated the meteor's diameter.
BROWN: It was about 20 meters in size.
COLE: Its entry speed.
BROWN: Nineteen kilometers per second.
COLE: And the answer to a pressing question: Why didn't we see it coming?
BROWN: And the answer is, it came right out of the sun.
COLE: Which made it nearly invisible. When we do see a meteor coming, which is a whole other challenge, Brown says all the data from the Chelyabinsk impact will help scientists predict potential damage.
BROWN: And then you can pass along that information to appropriate national authorities. You know, should you just be warning people to stay away from windows or should you be evacuating the city?
COLE: A sort of meteor warning system, just like the ones we have for hurricanes and tornadoes. Adam Cole, NPR News.

Blue Ultra-Fluorescing Conformal Coating
Multi-Cure® 984-LVUF conformal coating is a fluorescing, single-component, 100% solids material formulated for fast room-temperature cure when exposed to UV light. The coating has secondary heat-cure capability which allows it to cure in areas shadowed from light. The product features low viscosity to rapidly conformal coat printed circuit boards and other electronic assemblies.
984-LVUF has ultra-high fluorescence after curing under black light, so inspection of the bond line is easy with automated vision systems. This thin-layer material cures almost instantly to a depth of 7 mils and exhibits adhesion to a variety of metal, ceramic, and glass-filled epoxy surfaces.
The product is optimized for coating thicknesses between 51 mic [0.002 in] and 150 mic [0.006 in]. The low viscosity of this formulation makes it suitable for use in all types of spray equipment. 984-LVUF excels in coating applications where chemical as well as abrasion resistance is critical.
Dymax materials are solvent free and cure upon exposure to light. Their ability to cure in seconds results in lower processing costs. When cured with Dymax UV light curing spot lamps, focused beam lamps, flood lamps, or conveyor systems they deliver optimum speed and performance for maximum efficiency. Dymax lamps offer the optimum balance of UV and visible light for the fastest, deepest cures. Multi-Cure® 984-LVUF is in full compliance with the RoHS2 Directives 2015/863/EU.

Remember that really annoying - but strangely mesmeric - song, Barbie Girl?
Apparently, a legal battle has been raging between Universal Music and Mattel over the 1997 pop hit by the obscure Danish quartet Aqua, and whether it infringed Barbie's trademark and sullied her image, as the song is laced - laced, I tell you, with sexual innuendo. It is quite, quite something what people choose to argue about.
But get the last line:
"That claim was also rejected by the appeals court. "The parties are advised to chill," Judge Kozinski wrote in the judgment affirming the lower court ruling."
Just like British judges, then.

A head of garlic swells
like a hobo's bundle. Pried open,
it's equally pungent.
Fresh garlic is good for you
if you crave solitude
and the open road.
Once I wrote a word
on the delicate paper I tore
from a garlic clove, a whimsy
that came out of my pores.
The word is gone, not forgotten,
like the man I lived with then.
Sometimes moderation is
not an option.
He's always in your bed;
he's never in your bed.
Garlic is or isn't in a dish
or sprouting
on the sunny windowsill,
an inch of green ambition
and a stirring
in the severed roots.

A Museum of Ice Cream x Sephora Collection Is Coming and It Doesn't Get Much Sweeter Than ThisSeptember 17, 2018
We don't know about you, but the foodie makeup craze is something we proudly stand behind. Bring on the soda pop scented eyeshadow palettes, coconut extract-infused bronzer that smells like a tropical vacation, and macaron-shaped beauty blenders that make you crave the real thing. Adding to this trend that we know and love is always a welcome surprise for makeup lovers and sweet-tooths everywhere, and that's why we were excited to find out about a new collab that's making our mouths water once again. Hint: it involves a little lip color and a ton of rainbow sprinkles. Answer: it's ice cream — and lots of it.
If you haven't seen the collection in it's glory already via Sephora, let us introduce you to the Museum of Ice Cream x Sephora Collection, featuring a limited-edition, exclusive collaboration of six products you won't know how to say "no" to. Similar to the vibrant, Instagrammable wonders that exist inside the Pint Shop at the Museum of Ice Cream (stalk their Instagram here to find out what we mean), this collection is the ultimate reflection of the brand, combined with the magic, makeup-obsessed world that is Sephora. Seriously, try and name a collab that's more enticing (dare we say, sweeter?) than this.
The six irresistible products in the Museum of Ice Cream x Sephora Collection include a popsicle-inspired lippie set, rainbow sprinkle-filled brushes that we predict will sell out in seconds (did we mention they come in a sprinkle clutch that needs to be Instagrammed?), a face palette with packaging that'll remind you of a waffle cone, a 12-pan eyeshadow palette inside of a popsicle, rainbow "sherbert" lashes and a charm bracelet that's so cute we seriously can't stop staring.
Thankfully, you don't have to wait too long to own it all. Right now, you can prepare by downloading the Sephora App to be one of the first to get access to the collection on 9/19. As for seeing it all in real life, you can officially find (and drool over) the collection in Sephora stores and at the Pint Shop starting September 20. We advise you to consume all of the ice cream in the next 48 hours in anticipation — because what better excuse have you ever had to do so?

The neuroscience of yoga

Relaxation Therapy
Portland Yoga Tour
Monthly Unlimited passes
Practice class space after training
Ongoing Mentorship and online group
and more!
We use a hiking analogy to illustrate our philosophy because even if you're not outdoorsy, you understand the value of a trail guide. In fact, especially if you're not outdoorsy… like myself. It was the strength and courage I've developed from my yoga practice that led me to create LoveStrong Adventures… (for mildly adventurous people). Thus furthering the analogy and demonstrating the power of this practice.
So, in order to be a yoga teacher or a respected trail guide, you must have your own personal experience. And you must know it well enough to lead with clarity, confidence, enthusiasm and encouragement. You need to be able to educate, communicate and protect those you lead. WOULD YOU WANT TO HIKE MT. HOOD WITH A LESS EXPERIENCED GUIDE? Nope.
LoveStrong training focuses on YOU, your path and your ability to share your experiences. It's a chance to explore your inner terrain, to gain more experience and hone your skills starting with look at your current experience and where we can best guide you in communication,
Once you discover your own path in life, the trail expands and you become more of an explorer, a guide, a teacher, a leader that lights the way for others.
You'll never regret investing in yourself because even if you decide not to lead, you will discover your own path along the way. And that is ultimately everyone's goal.
At Love Yoga, every level is welcome and becoming a teacher is not required.

More than 200 days into Donald TrumpDonald John TrumpUSPS warns Pennsylvania mail-in ballots may not be delivered in time to be counted Michael Cohen book accuses Trump of corruption, fraud Trump requests mail-in ballot for Florida congressional primary MORE's presidency, we now have a clear answer on whom his administration will serve: Wall Street and corporations. Gone are his promises from the campaign trail to help struggling American families. At every opportunity, his administration has rolled back any small progress that's been made over the last few years to help Americans prepare for retirement.
A recent survey by the National Institute on Retirement Security found that 76 percent of Americans are concerned about their ability to have economic security in retirement. There are some likely reasons. First, almost 45 percent of Americans are offered no retirement plan through their employer. That means, even if a worker wants to be saving for their retirement, their employer offers no way for them to do that. Second, 401(k)s have failed to provide adequate retirement security for most American families.
No minimum balances were required, and no fees were sent off to Wall Street at the expense of the saver. In fact, that's probably why the program was targeted and eliminated by the Trump administration. If Wall Street can't take a bite out of the savings of working Americans, what's the point of a program?
Unfortunately, the elimination of myRA is just one of a series of actions designed to hurt working men and women across this country. States from California to Illinois to Washington began to develop their own savings programs, many known as Secure Choice plans. These plans were designed to serve people who have no other option for retirement savings through work. Yet Trump, this time along with Congress, targeted regulations that helped states make these plans available.
The fiduciary rule, too, has been delayed by the administration. This rule was designed to force Wall Street brokers to invest in the best interests of the client — the working man or woman investing hard-earned savings. A trade association representing the financial industry has already successfully postponed the rule until 2018 and is asking for further delay until 2020. Wall Street would rather keep your money in their pockets, and so far, Trump has been happy to go along with their plan.
Trump has also targeted the men and women of the federal government — the folks who maintain our national parks, disseminate Social Security checks, and keep the homeland safe. His budget would ask them to pay more out of pocket for a lesser benefit in retirement. There are better policy options available to Trump and his administration.
They could be looking at ways to strengthen and improve Social Security, a system millions of Americans will rely on for their retirement. They could be encouraging states to expand Secure Choice plans or experiment with other models. But they're not. They are focused on directing money back to Wall Street. And you and I will pay the price.

Second snow slam waiting in wings for East
January 26, 2000
(CNN) -- A new snowstorm is headed to the East, where freezing temperatures and strong winds complicated the chore facing millions already digging out Wednesday from a paralyzing storm that dumped nearly two feet of snow in some places as it swept up the Atlantic coast.
The new storm, which moved out of the Rockies and into the Midwest, began dropping snow in central Oklahoma before dawn Wednesday. Up to a foot of snow was possible by Thursday, and a 4-inch snowfall was possible across Arkansas later Wednesday or Thursday.
As the latest storm blows eastward, forecasters said it could bring significant snowfall to a region already under a blanket of white.
Schools and businesses in the East were closed -- in some cases for a third straight day -- while more than 180,000 utility company customers were still without power in the Southeast.
U.S. government workers in Washington were told to stay home for a second day in a row.
Amtrak, the national passenger rail service, said it would run two of three New York-to-Miami trains -- the Silver Star and the Silver Meteor.
It canceled all trains south of Washington on Tuesday and on Wednesday it scrapped service between Raleigh and Charlotte, North Carolina, and between Washington and Charlotte.
In North Carolina, 120 travelers were stranded at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, where airlines were not expected to begin carrying passengers again until Thursday morning.
Traffic deaths on snowy and icy roads were reported from the Carolinas to New York, and two people were found dead of exposure in South Carolina.
Hundreds of motorists waited for help Wednesday along Interstate 85 in North Carolina, which was virtually shut down by jack-knifed trucks for a 20-mile stretch near the Virginia state line.
National Guardsmen and Highway Patrol officers were sent to help.
Some of the motorists, stranded in their cars since Tuesday afternoon, used their cellular phones to call broadcasters in the area. "I've been here since 2:30 and I don't understand why no one's come," one irate motorist, who identified herself only as Cheryl from San Diego, complained Wednesday.
Raleigh Mayor Paul Coble advised motorists to "please stay home because ... if you get stuck, you're just going to create a problem for the crews that are out there trying to clear the roads."
In Great Barrington, Massachusetts, the search resumed Wednesday for a 5-year-old girl missing and feared dead after she and her 9-year-old brother tumbled into the icy Housatonic River while walking to school Tuesday.
The boy was treated and released.
Winds ranging from 20 mph to over 40 mph were expected over the Northeast into the Middle Atlantic states. As a result, wind chills and areas of drifting and blowing snow were forecast.
The National Weather Service said temperatures along the East Coast will remain below freezing and snow will remain on the ground with little opportunity for melting.
"We're not getting the help from Mother Nature that we really need," Coble told CNN.
The storm raced north along the coast Monday and Tuesday. Winter weather advisories and storm warnings remained in effect Wednesday for sections of northern New England.
Many forecasters -- and most of the public -- were not aware the bad weather was coming so quickly until late Monday, when the weather service issued a winter storm warning for the Baltimore-Washington area.
Until then, some forecasters had predicted only light snow, believing the bulk of the storm would out to sea. Instead, it hugged the Atlantic coast.
By Wednesday, up to 23 inches of snow had fallen in parts of North Carolina, with 20 inches in Maryland, 19 in Virginia, 15 near Washington and in north-central Massachusetts and 14 in southern New Jersey.
Farther south, the Carolinas were swamped by a rare blizzard and Georgia was reeling from a weekend ice storm that caused an estimated $35 million in damage.
States of emergency were declared in parts of Georgia, North Carolina and Maryland, with the National Guard called in to help clear roads and rescue motorists.
Much of North Carolina's snow removal equipment was stationed in the state's western mountains, which were spared the brunt of the storm. "Traditionally, we've had our worst snowfalls up in the mountains, so most of the National Guard Humvees are up there," said Gov. Jim Hunt.
North Carolina has already used more ice-melting salt on roads this month than is usually used all winter.
The weather service measured 23 inches of snow in North Carolina's Montgomery County. The 20.3 inches of snow that fell near Raleigh this week were more than the area has received before in an entire month.
Nearly 127,000 power company customers remained without electricity Wednesday in North Carolina, where the town of Pinehurst had no water service because of power outages.
More than 40,000 were still blacked out in South Carolina.
In Georgia, where 17,000 utility company customers were still without power Wednesday, state officials feared sleet this weekend will snap even more power lines.
Reporters Eric Horng, Kathleen Koch and Reuters contributed to this report.

All in the Family
As Weglowski learned how his genes affected his health, he considered the genes he passed to his sons, who were 11 and 8.
Weglowski presents the medal he received for a marathon to his cardiologist, Dr. Amjad Farha
Greg Weglowski thought he was invincible. After all, he led an active life in law enforcement, ran marathons, sky dived and volunteered for the first Persian Gulf War. "I've always been a bit extreme," the Detroit native admitted. His family's heart history was no exception. His father had triple bypass surgery and a heart valve put in at age 49. His mother underwent five bypasses by age 53.
Even though he didn't have a healthy diet, Weglowski was in good shape and thought he was immune to getting sick. In fact, after his eighth marathon in 2007, he passed a stress test "with flying colors."
But the next year, at 40, Weglowski saw his primary care physician about shortness of breath and fatigue. Knowing his family history, his physician referred him to a cardiologist for tests. Weglowski got some bad news: He'd already had a heart attack, and several arteries were blocked: His left anterior descending artery was 100 percent blocked, his left circumflex artery 90 percent and his right coronary artery 50 percent.
Weglowski could remember the day that he probably had the heart attack. Two weeks earlier, he'd experienced shortness of breath, mild pain in one arm and fatigue. That was probably when he'd had the heart attack.
"I still went to work and had no idea what was wrong with me. I had just finished another Federal Law Enforcement Academy and was in excellent shape," he said. "I didn't think the family history would hit me."
Weglowski's story points to the power of genes, the units of DNA passed from parents to children. Genes provide instructions for cells to make proteins that carry out bodily functions and form physical characteristics. Just like hair color, a predisposition to certain diseases can be passed along. Knowing your family's health history can help you avoid heart disease and stroke by knowing what symptoms to look for and what lifestyle modifications to make.

"Both the risk of heart disease and risk factors for heart disease are strongly linked to family history," said William Kraus, M.D., a preventive cardiologist and research scientist at Duke University "If you have a stroke in your family, you are more likely to have one."
In fact, your risk increases if your father or a brother were diagnosed with heart disease before age 55, or if your mother or a sister had heart disease before 65.
As Weglowski learned how his genes affected his health, he considered the genes he passed to his sons, who were 11 and 8. "'Look guys, dad had a heart attack,'" Weglowski remembers telling his sons. "They saw what was going on, and it became 'Hey, we have this running in our family. What can we do together to have a healthier lifestyle?'"
Bill Edwards, a clinical psychologist and adjunct clinical faculty at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, said that focusing on the positive is the best way to help kids younger than high school-age modify risk factors. He suggests explaining that the heart is a pump, and diet, exercise and stress affect how well it works.
"I wouldn't focus on a bad family history unless children ask specifically, but certainly make sure they know about it before they leave home so they can make educated decisions," he said. Edwards also emphasizes the importance of modeling behavior, especially with school-age children.
"It's clear that parents' behavior is transmitted to kids," he said. "They won't absolutely adopt every good habit you have, but modeling plays a significant role. With nutrition, I think it's important simply not to have bad stuff at home."
The American Heart Association offers a printable family tree that helps families piece together their health history. Start with your immediate family. Find out if your brothers, sisters, parents or grandparents had heart disease or stroke and how old they were when it was diagnosed. You probably don't need to research beyond those relatives. A great-grandparent's history is not relevant because their environment and treatment options were very different.
But the family tree isn't fool-proof. Even if your family tree is clear of heart disease, other genetic factors, like race, can increase your family's risk. African-Americans face higher risks for high blood pressure, diabetes and stroke. One in four Latinos will experience high blood pressure, and nearly half will battle high cholesterol.
No matter your family history, most regular cardiovascular screening tests should begin at age 20, with follow-ups depending on your level of risk. You will probably require additional and more frequent testing if you have a strong family history of heart disease or an existing heart condition.
Linda Knight, a cardiac genetic counselor with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, says that it is important to know the specific conditions that contributed to familial heart disease, such as high cholesterol, structural heart issues or arrhythmia. That way families can make informed decisions with their pediatricians as to the best early testing or interventions for children. "For example, if there is a family history of high cholesterol, it is appropriate to screen children by lipid profile at any age. General lipid screening is recommended at 12 years old." She adds, "If there is a family history of sudden unexplained death, arrhythmia (such as long QT), or cardiomyopathy, all first-degree relatives at any age should see a cardiologist for an echocardiogram and a genetic counselor to determine whether genetic testing would be helpful." A genetic counselor can be located on the Website for the National Society of Genetic Counselors at NSGC.org.
According to research presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2014, adults counseled on their genetic risk of heart disease believe they have more control over their fate. That makes them more likely to adopt behaviors that reduce risk.
But many people with a family history of heart disease become pessimistic about how much they can control their health. After all, if an active man like Weglowski had a heart attack, what hope do less active people have? To defeat that thinking, consider your health like a cup that you want to keep from overflowing. Bad genes fill part of the cup, and bad habits like smoking add to it. Because of their genes some people, like Weglowski, start with fuller cups, but good habits like walking regularly and a eating salads keep the cup from overflowing.
Weglowski's doctor told him that if it weren't for his active lifestyle, he may not have made it. So by modifying one behavior, Weglowski unknowingly saved his own life. Further, Weglowski had a terrible diet before the heart attack. Now he eats healthy whenever possible — yet another factor he is able to control. He admits it can be difficult to stay motivated to eat healthy. "There are days we eat the burgers and fries and pizza," he said, "but we know that in order to stay out of the doctor's office we must stay active and eat healthy. My boys and I have no choice."
Many types of heart disease can be inherited. Some conditions like high blood pressure or coronary artery disease run in families but most likely result from multiple genes working together in a complex way to cause disease. So even if you have a strong family history, you are not guaranteed to have inherited the combination of genes that lead to cardiovascular diseases. Weglowski's sisters, for example, have no heart issues. And your lifestyle or environment can affect whether they are "expressed" or not.
Weglowski and his sons on an Alaskan fishing trip
Edwards points out that many people with a bad family health history take the approach that there's nothing they can do. But even if you do believe that you're destined to die at 70 of heart disease — because your parents did — what do you want life to look like until then? Eating healthy, exercising and reducing stress all help give you the energy and stamina to make the most of your life. Making healthier choices is not only about prolonging life, it's about living the most vibrant life you can with the people you love.
Weglowski won't let fear of family history slow him down. Seven years after the heart attack, his family remains active and healthy.
"They're typical teenagers now, but they do pretty well," he said. "If we go out to eat, we're not going to a fast food place." They enjoy the gym and boating together, and they recently dove with whale sharks at the Atlanta aquarium and went fly fishing in Alaska — creating a family history that anyone would be glad to have.
If your kids have an interest in family health history, put them to work at family gatherings, collecting information and stories.
- Dig a little deeper. Some family members might be hesitant to talk about their health issues, but they might be willing to discuss their own parents' health, which can give you some insight. You can also talk with aunts and uncles. Remind reluctant family members how their information can benefit the next generation.
- Be an example. If family members hear you talking about your health history, they'll be more likely to join in. Use these sharing moments as an opportunity to support each other in making healthy changes.
Whether or not you have a family history of heart disease, getting active is important.
"Breaking the habit of inactivity is hard once it is established," said Steve Jeffries, Ph.D. and professor in the Department of Physical Education, School and Public Health at Central Washington University and president of SHAPE America (Society for Health and Physical Educators), about dealing with adolescents and teens on this issue. Being inactive increases the inclination for inactivity. "Breaking that conditioning is hard once it is established," Jeffries said. And if kids become conditioned not to be active, there are a lifetime of consequences to that.
"One of the biggest mistakes parents make is thinking of children, including teens, as miniature adults," Jeffries said. "Kids don't have our interests in health. Research shows that they participate in activities for three reasons: to have fun, be with friends and learn skills."
The challenge for parents is to think outside their own box of activities that they enjoy. "There are many forms of dance, for instance, but if you are not a dancer, you won't think of them," he said.
Jeffries says it is important not to limit the choices to what is easily accessible. For instance, in cities there are lots of basketball courts, so plenty of opportunity to play basketball. "But a lot of kids are not attracted to team sports," Jeffries said. "They prefer to do things where they aren't going to be judged in public."
Here is what parents can do: 1) Be physically active yourself. 2) Look for opportunities beyond your own interests. 3) Remember, fun and camaraderie (not competition) matter most. 4) Take your cues from your children about what's fun for them.
Eating a healthy diet is one way to lessen the impact of bad genes, and it certainly makes you feel better. Teaching children about healthy eating benefits them their entire life. The best way to teach good nutrition to children is to be a good role model. You can't expect them to eat healthy if you don't! We talked with Kristen Doenges, a registered dietitian with Professional Nutritional Therapists in Dallas, about engaging children in eating better. She advises against using food as a reward and to refrain from making them finish everything on their plate. Those habits can set them up for obesity. Instead, let 'em help!
Bring on the breakfast parfaits. Set out berries and low-fat yogurt and granola with bowls and spoons.
Have a pizza night. Make mini-pizzas with whole grain English muffins, marinara or pizza sauce, low-fat mozzarella and raw veggies. Parents handle the oven.
Make pinwheel snacks. Spread hummus on a whole-grain tortilla, then add fresh lettuce or spinach. Roll up the tortilla and slice into pinwheels.

After the recent death of a Michigan toddler and several new cases diagnosed in Southern California, Enterovirus D68, also known as EV-D68, continues to make headlines across the country.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that since mid-August 691 people in 46 states and the District of Columbia have contracted the virus. Almost all have been children who have a history with severe respiratory illness.
While those numbers sound high, they are not cause for alarm, says Dr. Jonathan Strober, a pediatric neurologist at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital San Francisco. He explains that the CDC figure only includes people who were specifically tested for EV-D68, which is one of more than 100 known varieties of non-polio enteroviruses.
"There are likely many more cases of EV-D68 that came and went like a common cold," Strober says. He adds that it is unclear why there has been a higher than normal amount of EV-D68 cases reported this year, but it may be because doctors are testing for it more, so they are identifying it better.
To help quell your fears about EV-D68, here are five things you need to know about the virus.
1. It Acts Like a Common Cold
EV-D68 can cause mild to severe symptoms. Mild symptoms look a lot like the common cold which may include fever, running nose, cough, and body and muscle aches. These are the symptoms most children with EV-D68 display, Strober says. Severe symptoms are respiratory-related, including wheezing and difficulty breathing. In the last two months, these are the symptoms that have sent children to the hospital.
2. It Spreads Easily
EV-D68 is spread just like the common cold. That means frequent and thorough hand washing with soap and water for 20 seconds -- is one of the best ways to avoid the virus. Remind your children to avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands, and to cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or shirt sleeve, not their hands. Clean and disinfect touched surfaces, like your child's toys, countertops and doorknobs. Strober recommends keeping your children away from kids who are sick, and keep them home from daycare or school if they are sick to avoid spreading the virus.
3. Some Children Are at Higher Risk
Infants, whose immune systems haven't fully matured, are at higher risk for the virus, as are the immune-suppressed. Children with a history of asthma or breathing problems seem to also have a higher susceptibility. If your child has asthma, make sure he or she is taking his or her medication as directed. EV-D68 can be confirmed from a nasal swab or stool sample, Strober says. Right now, only people with severe cases are being tested.
4. Most People Don't Need to Be Hospitalized
There are no specific medications to treat EV-D68. "Mild cases are treated just like a cold with rest and fluids," Strober says. You can also help relieve your child's symptoms by giving him or her over-the-counter medications for pain and fever. As with any virus, if you are not able to control your child's symptoms, or they are getting worse, call your doctor. If your child is having any concerning symptoms like weakness or trouble breathing, you should seek medical treatment immediately.
Note: Over the past several years, doctors have observed rare instances when patients, usually children, have quickly and sometimes permanently lost muscle function in an arm or leg or multiple limbs after experiencing symptoms of an upper-respiratory infection. Strober and other doctors are investigating whether these cases are related to EV-D68, but the link has not been confirmed.

Welcome to the latest edition of the "What is it really like…" series, which explores the less talked about or understood issues connected to parenthood. This edition takes the subject of autism in children, and what it is like to parent a child with autism. Although 700,000 people live with autism in the UK, it is still not a very well understood matter by those who are not touched by it directly or indirectly, with many myths and misconceptions surrounding the condition.
I'm therefore delighted to have the opportunity to interview Wendy from Spectrum of Life to ask her some candid questions about what it's really like having a child – or in her case, children – with autism, with the aim of eradicating some of the misconstrued ideas and negative perceptions that can often be associated with autism….
Can you share a little about your family, and how your autistic children fit into that?
I have 4 children – 2 boys and 2 girls. My oldest daughter is a neurotypical teen. My 3 youngest children have autism, my youngest daughter ADHD with autistic traits. Our lives are controlled by the children, we can't go out on the spur of the moment because it would cause too many meltdowns. Everything is on their terms to help keep them calm. My teen can't have her friends round as the others don't cope with strangers in the house.
You have two boys who are autistic – in each instance, when did you suspect that they could in fact be; and did you know much about autism before your first child was diagnosed?
With Luke my oldest son I had no idea that he was autistic, it was in fact a health visitor that first realised Luke was different. I knew nothing of autism and what it meant. I read lots of books to try and help Luke in his world. Up to 5 years old he was non-verbal and the only way he could communicate was through pictures and screaming. We learnt that different screams meant different things.
With Zak my youngest we almost knew straight away that he had autism. By this time I had learnt a lot about autism and the traits. Zak presented these as soon as he was born. he didn't likes to be picked up, thrived on routine. Zak was 18 months when he was officially diagnosed with autism.
How does having two boys with autism affect your family life? And how has it affected your relationship with your partner?
Everything has to be planned out to the minutest detail and things constantly explained. Me and my husband can't go out on date nights. We work as a partnership and do everything together as a team.
What are the greatest challenges of raising children with autism on a day to day level as a parent, and then also with regards to the "bigger picture".
People's ignorance towards autism – I wish they would stop staring at the children when they are out or the snide comments. The bigger picture is that society will accept the children for who they are regardless of their disability.
People often talk about the down sides of autism, but the less talked about flip side is that there are also unusual, quite shining, often beautiful traits that come with autism too. Could you talk a little about that with respect to your boys?
Luke loves maps and will look on google maps then get a street map and pin point the exact location of where he was looking. He can direct you to most places in the UK! Also he can draw very detailed maps. He has a thirst for knowledge and loves finding out how something works. Zak loves Ipads and from a very young age has been able to use an Ipad and reprogrammed it. Zak loves technology and they both like to see how things are made and how they work by watching programs on Discovery Channel like How it's made and Myth Busters.
What have you learned from raising children with autism?
I have learnt a lot from the children. Especially how they see the world differently and see the minutest detail. I have learnt to think on my feet and outside the box as the obvious solution is not always the answer. Take each day as it comes because you cannot predict autism and what worked yesterday might not work today.
I often read that one of the most frustrating things about raising children with autism, or special needs in general, are how other people engage with you…the not knowing how to react or what to talk about with you. Could you share a little on that…
Ever since the children were first diagnosed I have seen friends and family disappear. It can make you very isolated – for instance, you are that mum that stands in the playground on your own. Your children don't get invited to play or to parties. The worst thing someone can say is don't worry they will grow out it. This really gets to me. I wish people would just ask me. People tend to steer clear of others that are deemed different.
Do you feel you have been well supported in your journey as a parent with autistic children so far?
Yes, until the child gets to 5 years old then all previous support is stopped. There is still a lot of ignorance towards autism in the world. We have been turned away from holiday clubs because the children have autism. I found support through social media and talking to other liked minded parents in similar situations.
How do you find people's understanding of autism these days? Is it much improved and better accepted, or is there still a long way to go?
It is getting better but there is a long way to go for people to accept autism in its entirety. Programs such as the Autistic Gardener are helping change people's perceptions about autism. I think we need more programs like that. Children should be accepted for who they are not be isolated because they have autism/special needs.
If there is one thing you could say as a Mum with children on the autistic spectrum to mums of those who are not it is….
Accept the children for who they are, try and learn to love the child underneath not the disability.
What advice would you give to those parents who either suspect their child might be autistic, or whose child has recently been diagnosed?
You are not alone, ask if you are unsure. Someone should be able to help. Don't be afraid to talk about autism – the good and bad days. You will be surprised how many people want to support you and share the smallest triumphs with you.
