The Health and Learning Benefits of Green Schools for Our ChildrenBenBeckers
The document discusses the health and learning crises facing children today, such as obesity, asthma, ADHD, and mood disorders. It attributes these issues partially to decreased time children spend outdoors and increased time with electronics and exposure to environmental toxins. The presentation then outlines goals of green schools, including general benefits and specific benefits of aspects like building design, outdoor classrooms, and environmental study. It provides examples of green schools and discusses the potential for schools to serve as therapeutic environments.
Pend Oreille County in Washington state faces several health issues related to its rural poverty. The median household income is below the national average and over 15% of residents live below the poverty line, especially female-headed households. This poverty contributes to higher rates of child abuse, lack of health insurance, and other health problems. Access to healthcare is also limited due to the county's rural nature and distance from major hospitals. To help address the issue of child abuse, the document recommends implementing the evidence-based Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) model, which has been successful in other similar low-income rural populations by enhancing parenting skills.

Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

Nursing Process
Community nursing diagnosis:
Oakland Community is at risk for ineffective
protection related to lack of police presence.
Rationale:
Even though 90% of the interviewees stated they felt safe in their
neighborhood half of the improvements stated were related to
stronger police presence. If the police simply drove through the
neighborhood more often, there may be less gang involvement or
activity in the neighborhood. Also if there was a stronger police
presence, the need for better traffic control may be recognized.
After speaking with the firefighters, the need for stronger police
presence magnified.
26. +
Nursing Process
Recommendations (research, education, practice):
We recommend speaking with the police department or starting
a petition to request stronger police presence in the
neighborhood.
Another way to raise awareness would be to ask the fire
department to participate in any form.
Include more community events promoting awareness against
crime in the neighborhood.
Present a nursing project at the community center regarding
safety in the neighborhood
Keeping track of crime rates through the police department
27. +
Implementation
Potential project based on assessment
Participate in “Party in the Park.” It is a community event that
helps raise money for “National Night Out Against Crime.”
Rationale for implementation
Along with increasing police presence in the neighborhood, this
can help promote community spirit and police-community
partnership for a safer neighborhood.
This will provide a great opportunity for nursing students to learn
more on how small contributions such as this event can positively
influence the community’s spirit and health.
Even with a diverse community, as a whole, everyone shows
willingness to see change especially when it comes to their safety
& security.
Change agents
Nursing students, police officers, fire fighters.

Thank you for your time listening to our presentation. Enjoy your day!
IEP – Individualized Education Program Majority of the participants mentions “Cotton-O’Neil Clinic” as their preferred place for health care services but majority of them also mentioned their preference for St. Francis Hospital over Stormont-Vail The man who said “I disagree with ‘No Child Left Behind’ also mentions how “American children have it harder” due to the increased number of Hispanic speaking students in Street State.
discuss the connectedness of the subsystems- The Oakland neighborhood seems to be very family oriented, and seem like their own “island” in part of Topeka. The people in this community seem to work through the subsystems as a whole to maintain what they have. Communication seems to be key in keeping this community current and up-to-date on events.
