Childhood Obesity Is The Plague Of The 21st Century
By: Tom Bradley
Childhood Obesity is the plague of the 21st Century. Our kids are fat and getting fatter! The Center for Disease Control has issued some alarming statistics: Childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years. The prevalence of obesity among children aged 6 to 11 years increased from 6.5% in 1980 to 19.6% in 2008. The prevalence of obesity among adolescents aged 12 to 19 years increased from 5.0% to 18.1%. [Article Continues Below].....
.....In other words, nearly 1 in five kids are obese. This trend is bringing with it a unprecedented collection of health issues:
Obese youth are more likely to have risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure. In a population-based sample of 5- to 17-year-olds, 70% of obese youth had at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Children and adolescents who are obese are at greater risk for bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, and social and psychological problems such as stigmatization and poor self-esteem.
Obese youth are more likely than youth of normal weight to become overweight or obese adults, and therefore more at risk for associated adult health problems, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, several types of cancer, and osteoarthritis.
The chances of an average child in this country being overweight are the highest they have ever been AND GROWING. Ironically, for both children and adults, being overweight or obese is almost always a sure indicator that they are also malnourished and at the same time a strange twist of logic, malnourished people can be overweight or appear to be normal. Healthy lifestyle habits, including healthy eating and physical activity, can lower the risk of becoming obese and developing related diseases. Possibly more important is the chance to avoid the social stigma and accompanying risk of depression that frequently plagues obese kids. Addressing the nutritional needs and weight management challenges of kids can be far more complicated than in adults. Where an adult presumably has the maturity and focus to support a long range goal, a child has more myopic perspective and dwells in the now. So helping manage kid’s nutrition comes with both a challenge common to adults and a challenge uniquely its own. Adults who struggle with their weight typically three things in common. Knowing these problem areas can help kids to develop good habits in these areas can bring a lifetime of benefit. The trick is integrating these habits into their lifestyle in a way that avoids rebellion and promotes beneficial life-long habits. Those three consistencies shared by both young and old are:
Trends tracked over decades make it clear that, as parents, we are not getting it right when it comes to our stewardship of doing the very best for our kids. It may be cultural, habitual and at risk of sounding like an endorsement of "victim mentality" it may be a consequence of the staggering amount of advertising and ease of access to convenient but not healthy processed foods and fast foods.
The solution is education and a gradual change to healthier practices. Educate yourself with a newsletter designed especially for the nutritional needs of our kids.
Learn what kids need to be healthy and then make gradual changes in order to gently ease them into a healthier lifestyle without causing resentment or rejection.

Body Cameras for Private Security Officers: Why it’s not happening
By: George Babnick
About three year ago I wrote an article predicting that some private security officers would soon start using body cameras and that the practice would become common place in the private security industry just as it is becoming commonplace in public law enforcement (article readable on my security Blog. See BIO for link). I was right but I was also wrong. In the United States, state and local law enforcement agencies have overwhelmingly embraced body camera for their officers. They see body cameras as one way to build community trust, provide verifiable evidence following confrontations with citizens, and hold officers accountable. Spurred largely by a number of well publicized and controversial shootings, roughly half of all state and local police agencies now equip officers with some sort of body cameras. Most agencies that have not yet employed body cameras are seriously considering doing so. I think I can confidently predict that it won’t be long before body cameras for state and local law enforcement officers become the standard. In fact, some states like Nevada and North Carolina, now require it as a matter of law. [Article Continues Below]...
When it comes to defending yourself and your family from an attacker there is no such thing as a fair fight!
The coward attacker that blind-sides you in the parking lot doesn’t believe in a fair fight, and neither should you!
That’s why you need to arm yourself with this free, totally legal tool that can drop an attacker in an instant!
I’ve already told my friends and family to get theirs and I urge you to claim one too.
.....BODY CAMERAS IN PRIVATE SECURITY Some private security companies have equipped their officers with body cameras but the industry as a whole has been slow to embrace it. Why is this so? The simple answer is: Money and Necessity. Costs: With emerging technology, the cost of equipping security officers with body cameras is becoming more affordable but it is not insignificant. Many public law enforcement agencies offset some of this cost by grant funds but these funds are not available to private security firms. Additionally, the cost of video storage and management are ongoing costs that usually end up costing more than the initial cost of the cameras. Unlike public law enforcement agencies, private security firms exist solely to make a profit. Most security firms do not see how the costs associated with equipping officers with body cameras will improve their bottom-line. Training: Body cameras can be a valuable training tool to teach officers appropriate conflict resolution and de-escalation techniques with real situations but as law enforcement has learned, it is not sufficient to just give an officer a body camera and tell the officer to go out and use it. Policies on the use of the cameras (when the camera should be turned on or off, when to inform individuals that they are being recorded, how to upload data, etc.) should be established and officers should be trained to the policy. Spending time training officers is a cost that many private security firms do not see a benefit of investing in. It is a sad commentary, but many (perhaps most) security firms only give their officers a modicum of training to the extent that is required by local or state regulatory agencies. Legal liability: Countless suits and internal affairs complaints are filed against law enforcement officers every year. With the evidence provided by body cameras, false or frivolous claims can be more easily dismissed and in cases of misconduct, liability can be limited by taking appropriate personnel action and settling cases quickly. Private security officers are not immune from civil suits, but because of the nature of their job, they are much less frequent. Statistically police use physical force in very few encounters. Studies conducted by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) show that among persons who had contact with police, less than 2% had force used or threatened against them during their most recent contact. Studies on how frequently private security officers use physical force really do not exist. But because most security officers are not involved in making daily arrests and because many security firms have a "hands-off" policy, false arrest and related claims against security officers are diminutive. Because of this, evidence provided from body cameras have a very limited ability to mitigate legal liability from infrequent force or false arrest claims. Invasion of privacy exposure: Many security firms are actually concerned that evidence from body cameras could increase their overall liability. Many security firms have liability concerns over Invasion of Privacy claims and feel that body camera video can often be detrimental to the defense, rather than exculpatory. Law enforcement has taken the viewpoint that if an officer acted professionally and within law and policy, body camera footage will shut down or settle claims more quickly and reduce defense costs. Many private security firms have a different viewpoint. Many private security managers know that they give their officers minimal training and they know that some of the officers they hire have limited skills and abilities. Body cameras cannot combat poor training or unskilled guards. In fact, they can increase liability, making it easier for negligent or incorrect acts to be discovered and proven. An article published in Security Management, a publication of ASIS International (formerly known as American Society for Industrial Security), put it adeptly by saying: "Assuming a guard is well trained and acts appropriately, video footage will help insurers assess claims quickly and accurately, possibly reducing the number of frivolous excessive force claims." Well trained and acts appropriately are the key words. Unfortunately, many security managers know that their guards are not well trained and may not act appropriately when it comes to interacting with angry, disgruntled or violent persons, criminal suspects, or persons who are intoxicated or "high" on drugs. This is why many security firms have a "hands-off" policy where they instruct their officers to simply watch and report but take no physical action against anyone. If a situation gets out of hand or becomes violent, some security companies actually tell their officers to just run away and call 911. Understanding the roll of private security Understanding the use of body cameras by private security officers requires an understanding of the fundamental roll of private security. Law enforcement exists to serve the public and private security exists solely to serve the private interests of whoever hires them. In many cases, because of the tasks private security officers are often hired for (watchman, visual deterrence, customer service, projecting a sense or illusion of security, etc.) there is no benefit of equipping them with body cameras. In other cases when a security officer’s job involves interacting with persons suspected of committing crimes (i.e., shoplift apprehension) and taking enforcement actions, body cameras can be of benefit to the employer -but only if the security firm has good body camera policies and procedures and has invested the time and money to train their officers appropriately.

The beginning of strife is as when water first trickles [from a crack in a dam]; therefore stop contention before it becomes worse and quarreling breaks out.
Proverbs 17:14, The Amplified Bible
Throughout the Scriptures, God warns us about the danger of strife. Yet, it’s still one of the most common problems among believers. We let it get into our homes, our workplaces, our churches...everywhere!
Of course, we don’t purposely let it in. We don’t wake up in the morning and say, “I think I’m going to stir up some major strife today.” We just inadvertently let it slip up on us one minor irritation at a time. [Article Continues Below..]
So, I urge you today to take a big stand against those little opportunities for strife. If you have a tendency to let things irritate you, decide to overcome that tendency. Arm yourself against them with the knowledge that this world isn’t perfect, that there are people in it who aren’t going to be nice to you. There are people who are going to stir you up and annoy you—on purpose or by accident.
Make up your mind that, by the power of God, you’re not going to let them get your peace. That peace is so important to your well-being. It will keep your body healthy. It will keep your relationships healthy. It will put you in a place where God can guide your steps and save you from some very grave mistakes.
If you’ve spent a lifetime getting your feathers ruffled over every little thing, it may take a while for you to break that habit. You may have to work at it a moment at a time. But you can do it.
I know. I had to do that where worrying is concerned. I’d worried for so many years and had come from such a family of worriers that I did it almost without thinking. When I learned worrying was contrary to the Word of God, I had to give it up one minute at a time. With the help of the Holy Spirit, every time a worried thought would come to me, I would overcome it with the Word of God. And I did that until I broke that worrying habit for good.
You can do the same thing with strife. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you start to notice and overcome it one moment at a time. Then, every time you start to get upset about something, rebuke that strife in the Name of Jesus and resist it. Say right out loud, “I am walking in the peace of God today.”
You’ll be surprised how much more wonderful living can be.

The same way a person will have a first name, and other names, nicknames preferably, is similar to how you can carve a unique niche for your business by providing multiple names that can act as a pathway through which potentials visitors can notice your goods and services. The digital space is a wide area, requiring that visitors have to take some time to navigate new areas in the web space, with an assurance that a need has to be met. Since you don’t expect to find identical services online, you sure will come across services that are similar, in terms of delivery and quality. So, to make the journey of finding you on the vast digital space easier, you can resort to buy domain name. The reason is that visitors on various social media platforms can easily get to you, regardless of how distant apart you are. So, when you decide to buy domain name, you shouldn’t think that you are wasting resources, but cleverly making use of the opportunities you have on ground. On this account, here are three important pointer for businesses that are planning on getting multiple domain names. Artlicle Continues Below...
.....1. Wide coverage The same way wide popularity is the desire of every business investor, it can also become a burden when you don’t have the right tools to manage the influx of visitors to your website. Nothing draws visitors closer to you like quality service. Therefore, you need to have the right resources to maintain the consistency in which you have built your business upon for many years, especially in the areas of quality service delivery. To ensure that you continue giving your visitors the best of your services as you expand both locally and internationally, you need to buy domain name, as a way of ensuring that you reach out to all your customers satisfactorily. 2. Specified landing pages In the process of becoming a known brand internationally, you should also prepare ways in which you can accommodate the influx of requests for your services. In order to manage demands properly, you need to get multiple domain names, as a way of creating specialized business areas that can meet the needs of your visitors promptly. On your part, you are making it easy for your website to interact with your visitors, as you take note of their insatiable demands on your website. 3. Search Your domain names should be able to cover areas in which visitors are likely to search on several search engines. Apart from the fact that you need to buy multiple domain names to expand your business, you need an SEO service London expert advice to check out processes that can help you navigate the digital space successfully. Leaving out an SEO service London expert out of your plans may push you to buy domain names that will not facilitate traffic on your website. The reason, therefore, is that an expert knows how the digital space operates. So the practices that can pull in traffic and income are areas these experts are already into, which you need as a template for ensuring that your investment in SEO practices are not in vain.
There is a thin line between what can happen to you when you invest smartly and when you invest ignorantly in business. Whatever methods you have to apply to facilitate your business growth in time, you should endeavor to work with experts in the field, ensuring that you are guided properly when investing in multiple domain names. After all, domain names are made to give your business a good edge over others. https://www.createregister.com/domain/register-a-domain/
I’m so proud of today’s incredible transformation Rachel! In June 2015, at 50 years of age, Rachel realized that she wasn’t happy with where she was physically when she saw a picture of herself with friends. She knew she was ready for change. Rachel started off with a 16 Lose Weight Feel Great plan, and since she resides in the Kansas City area, she supplemented her online training with one on one sessions at Hitch Fit Gym Overland Park with Transformation Trainer Eric Reynolds! Rachel did an incredible job, shedding 20 pounds and 12% body fat. Congratulations Rachel! You make 50 look AMAZING!
Rachel’s Stats:
Starting weight: 159
Ending weight: 139
Starting body fat: 30%
Ending body fat: 18%
Rachel’s Tips for Success:
Here are my take-ways for anyone thinking about making a change:
You will not likely see quick changes. I could ‘starve’ myself over a weekend, and lose more weight than I did in my first two weeks on the program. BUT, each day of doing to right activities, builds over time, and the changes (both weight and body fat) become evident. Additionally, these activities eventually become your lifestyle, not just a diet.
The meal prep and eating according to the timeline is like a part-time job. You have to take it seriously. You have to prepare.
It is likely you will struggle the first few weeks, getting everything down.( meal prep, exercise, drinking enough water, etc) Do not get discouraged! You’re making a major change to your life/ your routine. If it were easy, everyone would naturally know how to do it, and there would be no need for Hitch Fit.
Don’t just look at the number on the scale. The body fat changes are so important!
Be prepared for negative comments as people notice the changes you’re making in your food choices / your lifestyle changes. I can say 100% of my family members and close friends were positive and encouraging, but the same wasn’t true with a few co-workers. I had one tell me not to loose too much weight because it would make me look older. I had another criticize me for not having a piece of cake at an office celebration. All the comments both positive and negative were a reminder that even when I couldn’t see the changes, others could.
When you’re ready, make an investment in you, it will make you a happier, healthier person.”
