As breathing and heart rate increase, it strengthens the heart muscle with extra nutrients and oxygen. The most studied and thus recommended type of exercise in brain health research is one that "breaks a sweat," or aerobic exercise. Evidence cited in the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans (2018) shows that exercise can decrease pain for those with osteoarthritis, reduce disease progression of hypertension and type 2 diabetes, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and improve cognition for those with dementia. The consensus is that for ages 45-65, exercise (breaking a sweat) at a minimum of once weekly lowers dementia risk, as summarized by Zotcheva et al.'s (2018) research. (2020) article, they found that "sustained exercise in midlife (ages 45-65), and possibly later life (>65), protects from dementia, perhaps through decreasing obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular risk" (p. Over the past five years, many observational and, better yet, randomized controlled trials have been published. Scientists believe both mechanisms are crucial for the goal of preventing dementia. Additionally, regular exercise can increase and help maintain healthy brain cells needed for thinking and memory, also known as cognition. Frequent exercise also helps prevent or reduce other diseases that can cause the same brain problems: midlife obesity, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure. These three conditions can impair blood flow carrying nutrients and oxygen to the brain. ![]() First, exercise helps decrease damage from plaque, vascular problems, or inflammation. ![]() (2020) meta-analysis review article has shown that regular exercise helps the brain in several ways. ![]() It turns out that one primary behavior everyone can do to maintain healthy brain function and help reduce cognitive decline is frequent exercise. According to the Alzheimer's Association's 2021 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures report, nearly six million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, and by 2050, this number is projected to reach almost 14 million. Many of these organizations' main goals are to reduce risk, provide education, and promote behavior change. Did you know that since 2012, September has been known as World Alzheimer's Month? Many organizations throughout the world promote education and awareness on a variety of Alzheimer's disease issues, found at Alzheimer's Disease International's World Alzheimer's Month website.

![]() Your characters aren't planted to a spot on the map, they have to run around the field if they want their attacks to reach the enemy (with the exception of spells but these often are bound to AoE). It's turn based but incorporates many action time elements. The Gameplay is the exact same as in the previous Grandia titles. Coupled with Noriyuki Iwadare's great soundtrack makes for some really good video game moments. In some Areas of the game the atmosphere is also really eerie. The game has the smallest amount of protagonists in a Grandia game but each character feels equally as important as everyone else, which I can't say about the other titles, especially Grandia Xtreme, and it hurts even more if one of them has to go. Mareg however want's Tio to develop a soul and keeps teaching her what it means to be free and take actions on your own. Tio sees Mareg as her master/owner after being rescued from the claws of Valmar. Mareg, a beastman, and Tio, a automata, also have a very interesting dynamic. Ryudo himself also has a dark past with his brother who got possessed by the horn of Valmar, turning into a cold blooded murderer. It's also very cool to see a demon lady actually not being purely evil since Milenia will act demonic when it comes to Granas and absorbing other parts of Valmar but her attachment to Ryudo forces her to do good things. Over the course of the adventure Elena starts becoming quite attached to Ryudo but Milenia keeps coming in between them. What is the Strength of this game however are it's characters and the group dynamic. Some crazy reveals can be seen from a mile away but that's not the strength of this story. The story isn't particularly complicated and is very straight forward. However he's unable to do so but he sends Ryudo on a mission to find the Granasaber to kill Valmar fast enough before Elena gets completely possessed by the wings of Valmar and Valmar potentially ressurected. ![]() Not knowing what to do the father of a local church decides that Elena should be escorted to the Cathedral where she could hopefully be purified by pope Zera. Unfortunately the sealing ceremony fails and the wings of Valmar posses Elena, causing her to transform into Milenia from time to time. Ryudo, a geohound accepts a job where he has to escort one of these sisters, Elena, to the Garmia tower. However the sealed body parts need to be resealed from time to time by the sisters of the church of Granas. People started worshiping Granas and built an religion in his name. Valmar was defeated but not destroyed and his body parts were sealed away to prevent another apocalypse from happening. Valmar, the god of darkness, and Granas, the god of light, had fought over the world in a huge battle that left many scars. In the ancient times the good and evil clashed together. ![]() but obviously, 4k is harder to drive fps wise than 1080p. ![]() Its not much of an advantage, but its enough that can swing a battle if you are fast enough reaction time wise. the higher resolutions can help in competitive games like warzone where a 4k gamer will see the top of an enemies head BEFORE someone on a 1080p or 1440p display will see them, thanks to more pixels. Then you need to figure out what resolution you want. and they are uber expensive (one of LG's newest is like that, 4ms grey to grey, 6ms total pixel, with basically 0 overshoot.) IPS displays, only about one hand worth (less than 5 models) that have pixel response akin to TN monitors. RPG/MMO/RTS gamers don't need fast pixel response, so they usually go for IPS or VA monitors to get better color accuracy, better viewing angles, at the cost of slightly slower pixel response. ![]() competitive gamers usually want the fastest display types, which means TN panel so you end up with the fastest possible pixel response, lowest input lag, not caring about color accuracy or viewing angles.
This is because she views the strict training and social etiquette that her mother teaches her as tedious and bothersome. She is also shown to have developed an interest in archery early on her childhood, possibly by influence from her father.Īs she has grown up, Merida is still very energetic and free-spirited, but has a more strained relationship with her mother (though she still holds the same good relationship with her father) and is more rebellious. ![]() She also tended to be playful, as shown by her playing hide and seek with her mother and being very hyperactive. She showed a curious side as she followed the wisps despite needing to go back to the trail and seemed to believe in the legends and myths of her kingdom, highlighting her innocence and naivety. When Merida was younger, she had a close relationship with both her mother and her father. However, she also does resemble her mother in terms of stubbornness and inability to listen to others. In terms of personality, she greatly parallels and resembles her father, as the two both tend to be unruly, impulsive, and loud. She tends to be ungraceful and has bad manners, and is extremely tomboyish. She also seems to be skilled in sword fighting, as shown in the Brave featurette "Cutting the Class". She is very athletic and enjoys nothing more than riding her horse Angus and practicing her archery, of which she is the best in the kingdom. Rather than being a damsel in distress who is subservient to the customs, traditions, and social restrictions her society places on her and expects her to follow, Merida openly rebels and defies her heritage as a princess and would like for nothing more than to be a normal girl. Merida is a very bold, brave, daring, courageous, stubborn, rebellious, and headstrong girl who does not fit the stereotypical princess role. She loves her family, but she wants to control her own destiny. She spends her days practicing archery, riding her horse Angus, and exploring the world around her. ![]() Merida is a princess by birth and an adventurer by a spirit. Despite her outgoing, forceful, headstrong, and willful personality, Merida does have a playful softness of heart particularly when it comes to her younger triplet brothers, Harris, Hubert, and Hamish. She is also skilled in sword-fighting and racing across the countryside on her horse, Angus. Merida has honed her skill in archery and is one of the most skilled archers ever seen. Despite Elinor's desire to see Merida as a proper royal lady, Merida is an impetuous girl who wants to take control of her own destiny. Queen Elinor's expectations of her daughter cause Merida to see Elinor as being distant while also causing friction between the two. Princess Merida is the headstrong and free-spirited 16-year old tomboyish, willful daughter of Queen Elinor, who rules the kingdom alongside her husband, King Fergus. 3.3 It's a Small World: The Animated Series. ![]() Yes, this is a great recipe to double for a big dinner.

In a discussion in the Clay Buddies Facebook group, Maddy Walton shared a photograph of the beautiful wall display at The Clay Studio in Philadelphia and it inspired me to find an affordable way to do something similar. Cost efficiency is always a factor as well. I needed something to effectively illuminate and elevate small items visually in a way that got them noticed, without taking up floor space the way a cabinet would.
