Austin had some top secret access on iOS and B.J. got selected for it on Google Play Store. So today, we’re talking about it! Austin was able to write about it for work, so read his ScreenRant article here: https://screenrant.com/dragon-quest-tact-preview-monster-collecting-mechanics/ Monsters and Gameplay It’s like Pokemon meets FF Tactics, but all simplified for a mobile game (for good and bad). Collecting monsters is cool, and it almost makes Austin want a strategy-based combat system in the upcoming Erik and Mia DQM game. Almost. We love the monster designs. We talk about our favorites. What are yours? How Long Is the Beta? Both betas go until Chapter 6, Stage 9. Some minor SPOILERs here. But it's a mobile strategy game, so it's not that much. What Did we like/hate about DQ Tact? Like: the monster recruiting mechanics and the cast Hate: the tactics part is pretty surface level. I wish there was more variety in stages, rather than just “oooh look, a barrel is here now.” Also, HATE all the in-your-face ads and premium stuff that I’m sure will be even worse in the real game. After playing the beta, I don’t know that I have it in me to play through ALL of that all over again. But maybe. And remember, next week, is our annual Dragon Quest Special Halloween episode! It’s gonna be so much it’s...scary!

Sweet slumber! Sleep is something we all do. More importantly, sleep is something we all need for vibrant health. Listen in this week as we discuss theories of sleep, stages of sleep, and the science of why we sleep. You’ll want to listen to the end! We wrap up by giving you 10 Tips for Improving Your Sleep Hygiene.   * * *   Notes on Sleep Different levels of sleep are different for different people. It’s recommended that you get 7-8 hours of sleep a night. Sleep is really important physiologically, and the biologically, it’s a necessity in our body. You cannot get your sleep back. You cannot correct for missing sleep.   Theories on Sleep Inactivity Theory One of the earliest theories of sleep, sometimes called the adaptive or evolutionary theory. Suggests inactivity at night is an adaptation that served a survival function by keeping organisms out of harm’s way at times when they would be particularly vulnerable. Energy Conservation Theory Research has shown that energy metabolism is significantly reduced during sleep by as much as 10 percent in humans, and even more in other species. For example, both body temperature and caloric demand decrease during sleep, as compared to wakefulness. Many scientists consider this theory to be related to and part of the inactivity theory. Restorative Theory Sleep provides an opportunity for the body to repair and rejuvenate itself. Science shows animals deprived entirely of sleep lose all immune function and die in just a matter of weeks. This is further supported by findings that many of the major restorative functions in the body, like muscle growth, tissue repair, protein synthesis, and growth hormone release, occur mostly, or in some cases, only during sleep. Other rejuvenating aspects of sleep are specific to the brain and cognitive function. For example, while we are awake, neurons in the brain produce adenosine, a byproduct of the cell’s activities. The buildup of adenosine in the brain is thought to be one factor that leads to our perception of being tired. Scientists think that this buildup of adenosine during wakefulness may promote the drive to sleep. As long as we are awake, adenosine accumulates and remains high. During sleep, the body has a chance to clear adenosine from the system, and as a result, we feel more alert when we’re awake. Brain Plasticity Theory One of the most recent and compelling explanations for why we sleep is based on findings that sleep is correlated to changes in the structure and organization of the brain. This phenomenon, known as brain plasticity, is not entirely understood, but its connection to sleep has several critical implications. It’s becoming clear, for example, that sleep plays a critical role in brain development in infants and young children. Infants spend about 13-14 hours per day sleeping, and about half of that time is spent in REM sleep, the stage in which most dreams occur. A link between sleep and brain plasticity is becoming clear in adults as well. This is seen in the effect that sleep and sleep deprivation have on people’s ability to learn and perform a variety of tasks.   Stages of Sleep Stage 1 – Non-REM sleep. The changeover from wakefulness to sleep. During this short period of relatively light sleep, your heartbeat, breathing, and eye movements slow, and your muscles relax, with occasional twitches. Stage 2 – Non-REM sleep. A period of light sleep before you enter deep sleep. Your heartbeat and breathing slow, and muscles relax even further. Your body temperature drops, and eye movement stops. Stage 3 – Non-REM sleep. The period of deep sleep that you need to feel refreshed in the morning. It occurs in longer periods during the first half of the night. Your heartbeat and breathing slow to their lowest levels during sleep. Your muscles are relaxed, and it may be difficult to awaken. REM Sleep First occurs about 90 minutes after falling asleep. Your eyes move more rapidly, mixed-frequency brainwave activity becomes closer to that seen in wakefulness, your breathing becomes faster and irregular, and your heart rate and blood pressure increase to near waking levels. Most of your dreaming occurs during REM sleep, although some can also occur in non-REM sleep. As you age, you sleep less of your time in REM sleep.   Why We Sleep Matthew Walker, an expert in sleep at UC Berkley, and author of the bestselling book, Why We Sleep, said, “The decimation of sleep throughout industrialized nations is having a catastrophic impact on our health, our wellness, even the safety and education of our children. It’s a silent sleep loss epidemic. It’s fast becoming one of the greatest challenges we face in the 21st Century.” “It makes you dumber.” Cognitive function. More forgetful. Unable to learn new things. More vulnerable to dementia. More likely to die of a heart attack. Less able to fend off sickness with a strong immune system. More likely to get cancer. Makes your body literally hurt more. Lack of sleep distorts your genes and increases your risk of death generally, disrupts the creation of sex hormones, like estrogen and testosterone, and leads to premature aging.   10 Tips for Improving Your Sleep Hygiene Try to keep the same sleep schedule on weeknights and weekends. Limit the difference to no more than about an hour. Staying up late and sleeping in late on weekends can disrupt your body’s clock and sleep-wake rhythm, which is going to impact your pattern of being able to fall asleep. For children, have a set bedtime and a bedtime routine. Don’t use the child’s bedroom for time-outs of punishments. Create a quiet, comfortable sleep environment. Set your bedroom thermostat at a comfortable temperature, turn off the TV and other things that may disrupt sleep. If your pet wakes you up, keep them outside the bedroom. Your bedroom should be dark. Turn off bright lights and have a comfortable mattress. Essentia mattress Light-blocking film White noise machine Keeping your room cool An hour before bedtime, dim the lights and turn off all screens. Turn off blue light sources. If you can’t sleep, get out of bed and do something quiet and relaxing until the urge to sleep returns. Then, go back to bed. Never go to bed tipsy. Alcohol is a sedative, and sedation is not sleep. It also blocks your REM dream sleep, an important part of the sleep cycle. Your heart rate doesn’t get low enough, so you’re not getting that restorative sleep, you’re not able to really slow things down. Avoid heavy and/or large meals within a couple hours of bedtime. Having a light snack is okay. Avoid nicotine and caffeine. Nicotine and caffeine are stimulants, and both substances can interfere with sleep. The effects of caffeine can last as long as eight hours. Spend time outside every day when possible. Be physically active. Exercise before 2:00 pm every day. Exercise promotes continuous sleep. Avoid rigorous exercise before bedtime. Rigorous exercise circulates endorphins into the body, which may cause difficulty initiating sleep. If you’re a clock watcher, remove it from the line of sight. Have a comfortable pre-bedtime routine. Warm bath Meditation Quiet time Reading Connected to #4 - Stay in bed and focus on your breathing for a little while before you get up out of bed.   Naps Napping during the day may provide a boost in alertness and performance. However, if you have trouble falling asleep at night, limit naps or take them earlier in the afternoon. Adults should nap for no more than 20 minutes. Napping in preschool-age children is normal and promotes healthy growth and development. It’s the 20-minute power nap that really rejuvenates you the most and has you wake up and being alert, whereas the 30-40-minute nap can almost get you into that deep sleep again, and then you wake up out of that and you’re more groggy, and your body’s confused. It’s not sure if it should be going into deep sleep or not.     Deeper Dive Resources   TeriAnn’s Health Journey Podcast https://empoweringyouorganically.com/podcast/inspired-health-journey-teriann-trevenen/   Organixx Articles on Sleep https://organixx.com/?s=sleep   How Much Sleep Do We Really Need? https://www.sleepfoundation.org/excessive-sleepiness/support/how-much-sleep-do-we-really-need   Consequences of Insufficient Sleep http://healthysleep.med.harvard.edu/healthy/matters/consequences   Energy Conservation and Sleep https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7546319   Alzheimer’s Disease and Sleep https://www.sleepfoundation.org/articles/alzheimers-disease-and-sleep   Garmin Fitness Trackers https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/into-sports/health-fitness/cIntoSports-c571-p1.html   Oura Ring https://ouraring.com/   Why We Sleep Book https://amzn.to/2MVSjwy   Essentia Mattresses https://amzn.to/2ZouMps   Blue Light and Sleep: What’s the Connection? https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/block-blue-light-to-sleep-better   How Long Is an Ideal Nap? https://www.sleep.org/articles/how-long-to-nap/

As a mother who has just recently gone through hand foot and mouth with her children, I would encourage you to keep a positive attitude. It may look bad, but in time it will go away. I have personally used these natural treatments with incredible results. The pictures shown have not been altered in any way, displaying an accurate transformation in my son. Because I had the oils on hand, I was prepared for the virus and prevented its long-term duration.   What is Hand Foot and Mouth Disease? According to Webmd.com “Hand-foot-and-mouth disease, or HFMD, is caused by a virus. Symptoms include ulcers, or sores, inside or around the mouth, and a rash or blisters on the hands, feet, legs, or buttocks. And while it's not pleasant, it also isn't serious. Anyone can get the disease, but children under age 10 are most likely to catch it. You can take steps to ease the symptoms while it runs its course, though.” What Causes It? “The viruses that usually cause hand-foot-and-mouth are named coxsackievirus a16 and enterovirus 71. In fact, you might hear your child’s doctor refer to it as the coxsackie virus.” The viruses can be found in an infected person’s: nose and throat secretions (such as saliva, sputum, or nasal mucus), blister fluid, and feces (stool). Hand-foot-and-mouth is highly contagious not only in the United States but across the Globe. How Does it Spread? An infected person may spread the viruses to another person through: Close personal contact, The air (through coughing or sneezing), Contact with feces, Contact with contaminated objects and surfaces, Fluid from blisters, Nasal secretion Examples being; when you kiss someone who has HFMD disease. Touching a doorknob or other surface area that has been contaminated with the viruses and then touching your eyes, mouth or nose. Changing a diaper or touching the sores of an infected person. It’s also possible to get infected with hand-foot-and-mouth disease if you swallow recreational water, such as water in swimming pools. Although this is not very common, it is how, during swimming lessons, my son caught it. In general, this is more likely to happen if the water becomes contaminated with feces from a person who has HFAM disease and the pool is not properly treated. Daycare centers are also a breeding ground for the disease as little hands are constantly touching each other and shared toys. Multiple diaper changes and potty training add to the chances of spreading the disease. The disease is most common during Summer and Autumn months. How Do I Avoid Getting the Disease? Keep bleach wipes handy using them to wipe off handles, toilets, light switches and surfaces at least once a day. Washing your hands and your child’s with soap and water when you’re in public or around a crowd is a healthy way to avoid getting the infectious HFAM disease. How Long Is a Person Contagious? Generally, a person with HFAM is most contagious during the first week of illness. People can sometimes be contagious for days or weeks after symptoms go away. Some people, especially adults, may not develop any symptoms, but they can still spread the virus to others. This is why people should always try to maintain good hygiene (e.g. hand washing) so they can minimize their chance of spreading or getting infections. You should stay home while you are sick with hand-foot-and-mouth disease. Talk with your healthcare provider if you are not sure when you should return to work or school. The same applies to children returning to daycare.  The worst of the symptoms can last around 10 days. Results after using oil treatment. Signs and Symptoms Fever A sore throat Body aches Loss of Appetite Rash on hands, feet or other areas of the body Sores in mouth Headaches Sores in the mouth usually come one to two days after a fever. Some people, especially young children, may get dehydrated if they are not able to swallo...

Live from London: Star Trek and Director’s Cuts. As Star Trek fans, we know there may be more to a story than what we see on screen. We pore over deleted scenes, read novelizations and comic books, listen to behind-the-scenes stories, and scour unrealized versions of shooting scripts—all to find subtle nuances of character and plot as we imagine how things might have been. But what does it mean when the creator themselves decides that the original cut isn’t final? Three of the six movies featuring the crew of the original Enterprise 1701 now exist in multiple versions, creating a dilemma for the most devoted audiences. Is it better to experience them as originally released, or should we trust that those who take the time to tweak them have the right to say which version is final? In this episode of Primitive Culture, recorded live at the Prince Charles Cinema in London ahead of the UK premiere of the extended director’s cut of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, hosts Duncan Barrett and Tony Black are joined by Clara Cook and Tony Robinson to discuss the director’s cut phenomenon and how it affects the relationship between a film and its audience. In addition to the changes made to the 1982 classic, we consider the alternate versions of The Motion Picture and The Undiscovered Country—along with other films—and debate which Star Trek movies might benefit the most from another go-around.

Advisory: How to Listen to Music Music has a powerful grip on our emotional brain. It can breathe new life into seemingly lifeless minds. But if there is indeed no music instinct, music — not just its creation, but also its consumption — must be an acquired skill. How, then, do we “learn” music? Even more curiously, how do we “learn” to “listen” to music, something that seems so fundamental we take it for granted? http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2012/04/12/elliott-schwartz-music-ways-of-listening/ Body Language Decoder http://lifehacker.com/5901468/use-this-body-language-cheat-sheet-to-decode-common-non+verbal-cue s Middle School Science Minute by Dave Bydlowski (k12science or davidbydlowski@mac.com) This is a three part feature on outstanding science tradebooks for students in Grades 6 - 8.
