La Unión Europea ha acordado un paquete de sanciones contra Rusia por su invasión de Ucrania. Las sanciones incluyen restricciones a las importaciones de productos rusos clave como el acero y limitar el acceso de los bancos rusos a los mercados financieros de la UE. Los líderes de la UE esperan que las sanciones aumenten la presión económica sobre Rusia y la disuadan de continuar su agresión contra Ucrania.

CounterWatch is a portable pet deterrent and training device that uses water or scented liquid to deter pets from unwanted areas. It has 5 modes including spray only, spray with voice, and voice only playback. The device is designed to be low profile, stylish, and effective at keeping pets off counters, furniture, and away from doors without the need for consumables or risk of electric shock. The inventor, Shawn Tait, believes CounterWatch is the best solution because it provides multiple deterrents that pets are unlikely to assimilate to, can be used on various surfaces, and avoids the high ongoing costs of consumable refills required by similar existing products.
Review this presentation to discover the whens and hows of scaling at it provides and overview of multi-session, single-session, and multi-host scaling options and the workloads where these options are appropriate.
Database scaling refers to increasing database throughput. Vertical scaling utilizes additional resources such as I/O, memory, CPU, while horizontal scaling uses additional computers. However, the high concurrency and write requirements of database servers make scaling a challenge. Sometimes scaling is only possible with multiple sessions, while other options require data model adjustments or server configuration changes.

Common mistakes by beginners in ProgrammingDejan Toteff
Beginners in programming often make mistakes by thinking they know too much and skipping important steps like naming conventions, testing, and planning, or they know too little and are afraid to ask questions or use professional tools. Major mistakes include not scheduling time for learning and practice and not using the right tools. Minor mistakes are learning without practicing and solely following popular questions instead of practicing.
The document discusses the history and benefits of outsourcing for businesses. It notes that outsourcing has been used in the US since the Industrial Revolution as companies sought to focus on their core competencies. While initially seen negatively in terms of offshoring jobs, outsourcing can provide flexibility and cost savings by handing off non-core business functions. For small and medium businesses specifically, outsourcing services like accounting, HR, payroll, and marketing can free up time for owners to focus on growth opportunities.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

Kids Can love Broccoli
A
diet rich in fruits and
vegetables can help
reduce the risk of obesity
in children. So how do you get
your kids to dig into their peas?
Follow these tips:
- Offer a choice between at least
two vegetables at lunch and
dinner. A study presented in the
Brain Research Bulletin showed
that kids under age 6 ate
80 percent more vegetables
when they were given a choice
of veggies to eat.
- Try serving veggies first.
Hungry children are more likely
to eat what’s in front of them.
- Keep a bowl of cut veggies,
such as carrots or cucumbers,
out for snacking.
- Serve chopped veggies with a
healthy dip, such as hummus,
dill and Greek yogurt, black or
white bean, or guacamole.
- Add vegetables to favorite
foods. Try broccoli, spinach or
peppers on top of pizza.
- Shred zucchini, pumpkin and
carrots and bake them into
breads or muffins.
- If your child rejects a
vegetable, keep trying,
and present it in
different forms—raw,
steamed, baked, stir-
fried or sautéed—to
find the ways that
your child likes it best.
Health,
by the Numbers

The number of deaths

improved diet, exercise
and stopping smoking.
ANTIBIOTICS?
NOT ALWAYS!
Antibiotics treat bacterial
infections, but cannot
cure viruses like the cold
or flu. Taking an antibiotic
when it's not needed can
cause bacteria to become
stronger and more resistant,
prolonging your illness.
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention
recommends against taking
unnecessary antibiotics.
Your doctor will tell you if
you need an antibiotic.
If you want help finding
a doctor or making
an appointment, call

What Is
CO Poisoning?
As it gets colder, many of us
use additional heat sources
in our homes. Just beware of
possible carbon monoxide
(CO) poisoning.
CO can’t be seen or smelled,
but inhaling high levels of the
gas can be deadly. Any fuel
produces CO when burned. In
tight spaces like apartments,
CO can easily become trapped.
Symptoms of CO poisoning
include headache, nausea,
dizziness, chest pain and
confusion. If you have these
symptoms, open a window
for fresh air, turn off your
heating device, and seek
medical attention. Have a
trained professional check
your fuel-burning appliances
and ventilation.
According to New York City
law, landlords are required
to provide tenants with a
CO detector. Tenants are
responsible for maintaining
the detector and keeping it in
good, operable shape.
The Energy You Don’t Need
Energy bars and drinks are full of sugar and salt to
replenish fuel and electrolytes lost during exercise.
But unless you’re a high-performance athlete who’s
running marathons, most energy products contain
far more sugar and salt than you need.
Replenish instead with water and a banana,
which provides sugar and potassium, to balance
electrolytes. Other options are coconut water,
which contains half the sugar of sports drinks,
but also potassium and sodium; and low-fat
chocolate milk, whose
milk protein and sugar
help the body’s
muscles rebuild.
Keep That Smile
Sparkling
Avoid costly dental work by being diligent with your oral hygiene,
starting by properly brushing your teeth. Here are some simple tips:
Brush at least twice a day,
for at least two minutes
at a time, and floss at
least once daily. Experts
suggest flossing before you
brush, so your toothbrush
removes anything the floss
has uncovered.
Using toothpaste, gently
brush the front and insides
of your teeth in a circular or
up-and-down motion (not
horizontal).
Aim the toothbrush at a
45-degree angle toward the
gum line so the bristles can get
underneath the gums, where
food and bacteria get trapped.
Brush your molars
using a back-and-
forth stroke.
Don’t forget: Gently brush your tongue,
and rinse. Massage your gums to promote
good circulation.

Who should get the HPV vaccine?
The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually
transmitted infection in the United States. While most HPV
infections have no symptoms, certain strains can cause cervical
cancer. In fact, a vast majority of cervical cancer cases are
caused by HPV.
There are now two types of HPV vaccines that help prevent
cervical cancer. Because HPV is most common in people in their
late teens and early 20s, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention recommends the vaccine for all girls beginning at age
11 (before they are sexually active). Girls and women ages 12 to
26 who haven’t been vaccinated should get the vaccine. It is also
recommended that the HPV vaccine be administered to boys
ages 9 to 18 to reduce their likelihood of acquiring genital warts.

ancer. It’s the word no
one wants to hear the
doctor say. But in one
year alone, more than
1.5 million Americans will be
diagnosed with cancer and more
than half a million people will die
from it. Ignoring cancer won't make
it go away. You can lower your
chances of becoming a statistic by
following a healthy lifestyle and
getting recommended screenings.
1Make prevention a priority
Two-thirds of all cancers are
related to lifestyle choices.
By simply avoiding tobacco
you greatly reduce your risk of
getting lung, bladder, cervical
and kidney cancer.
Exercising, eating well, and
maintaining a healthy weight will
lower your risk for breast, lung,
prostate, colon and kidney cancer.
Add using sunscreen to your
list of healthy habits, and you'll
also reduce your risk for skin
cancer.

Med Check
Tips for reviewing your prescriptions
and avoiding side effects.
I
t’s normal to take an increasing
number of prescription and
over-the-counter (OTC)
medications as you get
older. And if you have a chronic
condition, you may already be
toting a long list of pills.
When taking any kind of
medicine, it’s important to follow
your doctor or pharmacist’s
instructions. Not doing so can
cause harmful side effects that
can ultimately lead you right back
to the doctor’s office.
Next time you make an office
visit, take a few minutes to discuss
your medications and any side
effects you may have noticed.
Here are a few suggestions to help
you prepare for this discussion:
- Write up a list of all your
medications, including
prescription and OTC
(this includes vitamins or
supplements), their doses, and
how frequently you take them.
Or brown bag the bottles and
bring them with you.
- Record any noticeable side
effects or discomfort, no
matter how trivial it may
seem at the time.
Your doctor will review this
information with you and advise
you on what you can do to simplify
your medicines and improve the
effects on your body. You can
even ask your doctor if there
are any generic options for your
prescriptions. Generic medications
can help you save money at the
counter and still give you the same
medicine that you need.
Safely dispose of
medications
Clearing out your
medicine cabinet?
Then follow these
guidelines from
the Food and Drug
Administration:
1 . Don’t flush medications
down the toilet unless
the label or patient
information instructs
you to do so.
2. If the medication
cannot be flushed, you
can dispose unwanted
medications in the
trash. First, mix them
with undesirable
substances like used
coffee grounds or cat
litter. This will make
them unappealing to
humans and animals,
and prevent misuse.
3. You can also call
311 for information
on any drug take-
back programs. Visit
dontflushyourdrugs.net
for more recommended
disposal methods in
New York state.

How Much is Too Much?
Know when it’s time to ask for help.
Could you have a drinking
problem? Ask yourself these
questions:
þ does drinking hurt my
relationships?
þ does it affect
my job?
þ do i take risks when i
drink, like driving a car?
þ do i often drink just
to get drunk?
þ do my loved ones worry
about my alcohol use?
If you answered yes to any
of these questions, talk to your
doctor. He or she can suggest a
treatment plan that’s right for you.
You can get better, but only if you
first open up and ask for help.
Signs of addiction
When you’re addicted, you
are physically and mentally
dependent on a substance.
Physical signs include changes
in sleeping and eating habits;
losing or gaining weight; feeling
ill when you stop using the
substance; feeling shaky without
it; and needing a greater quantity
to feel the same high.
Psychological signs you are
addicted include mood swings;
feeling angry, anxious or
depressed; withdrawing from
family and friends, except those
who also drink; needing a drink
to relax or cope; and being
disinterested in activities that
were once important, like work
or school.
Reach out
You may feel like you can stop
the addiction by yourself, but
the truth is it’s very hard to do
without professional help.
Counseling and self-help
groups, such as Alcoholics
Anonymous, are two treatment
options. You can join outpatient
treatment programs through a
local hospital, or an inpatient
program with an addiction
facility, which may better fit
your needs.

Men’s Health Matters
What’s your excuse for
not visiting your doctor?
Your physician can help
you spot and prevent many
deadly diseases—including
heart disease, cancer,
high blood pressure, and
diabetes—that do not have
symptoms. Waiting to go
to the doctor can make any
unknown illnesses worse.
Simple steps like getting
flu shots, checking blood
pressure and cholesterol
levels, and monitoring your
weight can lengthen your life,
keeping you around for your
family much longer.
I
t’s not uncommon for men to
skip routine visits. In fact, half
of men between ages 18 and
50 don’t even have a primary
care physician, and one-third
haven’t had a checkup in more
than a year, according to a
2011 survey commissioned by
Esquire magazine.
But the consequences of
ignoring your health could be
serious. Read on for tips that will
help you put away the excuses and
take charge of your health.
Simply having an open conversation with
your doctor about your family history and
how often you smoke, drink and exercise
can help you identify any issues—even if
those concerns are of the romantic variety.
Honest communication can lead to action,
and action leads to empowerment. That’s
something even the strong, silent type (and
your partner!) can appreciate.
Let’s be honest, no one enjoys
disrobing to be poked and
prodded by a near-stranger.
And if you’re a man over 50,
you are encouraged to start
getting prostate exams and
colonoscopies—and who
finds those any fun? The most
important thing you can do is
find a doctor who you trust and
feel comfortable with. Remind
yourself why you’re getting these
tests and exams.
It’s important to find a doctor’s
office that accommodates
your schedule. Choose one
close to work or one that is
open on weekends. Some
doctors encourage email
correspondence and allow you
to request prescriptions online.
Stand by your man
According to data from the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention,
70 percent of American women
had at least one doctor’s visit in
a 12-month period—but only 50
percent of men saw a doctor in the
same period. Women, take care of
the man in your life by scheduling
a check up for him and then joining
him for the appointment. Make it a
date by enjoying a movie or healthy
meal afterward!
“i don’t want to talk about it.”“i don’t want to talk about it.”
“i don’t feel sick.”
“i can’t find the time.”
“exams are so
uncomfortable.”
“i don’t feel sick.”
