A song to destress the situation

-


Often in today’s times it is easy to get caught up in the negativity and sadness of vulnerable people and populations. This often emotes certain emotions in the brain and in my mind leads to creativity. I wrote this song originally to be put in the video, but things didn’t really work out as planned and it seemed a waste to not post it. When things get me down, I often move to music or some other creative outlet to cope with the surrounding negativity in my life. I hope viewers of this blog can take the negativity that is in our world and turn it into something special. Whether that is volunteering for a worthy cause or creating something that has never been heard before.

      Jake, I did not adequately comment on your song during the official class period - I recall you mentioning it, however it fell outside the scope of normal day-to-day end of term activities so I am just getting to play it now. It is Beautiful! I am going to download it and play it and use it in the future. You have a great talent here and I hope you continue using music to express and share I deeply appreciate it and enjoy the work. Best wishes, Rob Bremmer

Understanding Homelessness

  Source (American Addiction Centers)      Homelessness has a myriad of different reasons it can happen. The similarity between all scenarios in which a person is experiencing homelessness is that each person is human. A popular belief is that homelessness is a choice. People believe there is a set amount of circumstances that cause homelessness and that it is a choice not to fight to get out of those problems. The problems can range from mental health issues to drug addiction. There is no one size fits all, and it is not a choice.  Over the last few weeks, I have learned that there are many factors that can lead to homelessness. One big one that focuses on our class is how affordable housing, or the lack thereof, is a significant contributor to people not getting back on their feet. If you want to learn more about that subject and if affordable housing can help, click here.   This lack of affordable housing is a big roadblock for those trying to ove...

Air pollution caused by wildfires may increase risk of dementia

  There are already more than 57 million dementia sufferers in the world, and by 2050, that figure is predicted to rise to 153 million. It is estimated that risk factors like exposure to air pollution account for up to 40% of these instances. Even when annual exposure was lower than the current EPA annual threshold of 12 micrograms per cubic meter of air (g/m3), the researchers discovered continuous evidence of a relationship between PM2.5 and dementia. The researchers discovered a 17% increase in risk for dementia for every 2 g/m3 increase in average yearly exposure to PM2.5, specifically among the studies using active case ascertainment. Despite the fact that the data was more sparse, they also discovered evidence supporting links between dementia and nitrogen oxide (5% increase in risk for every 10 g/m3 increase in yearly exposure) and nitrogen dioxide (2% increase in risk for every 10 g/m3 increase in annual exposure). According to a recent University of Michigan study, wildfi...
