Exercise and Fitness
Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and most Americans are not physically active enough to gain any health benefits. Swimming, cycling, jogging, skiing, aerobic dancing, walking or many other activities can help your heart. Whether it's included in a structured exercise program or part of your daily routine, all physical activity adds up to a healthier heart.According to the latest joint American Heart Association/American College of Sports Medicine guidelines on physical activity, all healthy adults ages 18-65 should be getting at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity activity five days of the week. However, there are additional guidelines for those 65 and older, or for those 50-64 with chronic conditions or physical functional limitations (e.g., arthritis) that affect movement ability or physical fitness.

children abduction
A very small number of abductions result from (typically) women who kidnap babies (or other young children) to bring up as their own. These women are often unable to have children of their own and seek to satisfy their unmet psychological need by abducting a child rather than by adopting. The crime is often premeditated, with the woman often simulating pregnancy to reduce suspicion when a baby suddenly appears in the household. Child abduction by a stranger usually ends badly. Each year, approximately 58,000 missing children are abducted by non-family members. Typically, strangers who kidnap children commit their crimes with intent to harm their young victims. In nearly 80 percent of non-family child abductions cases, the victim is sexually assaulted or physically abused by the perpetrator.
Every day, these offenders lure unsuspecting children into vehicles and homes. Most of these kids are not prepared for the reality of "stranger danger" and, therefore, tend to trust unknown adults. Most abducted children are eventually recovered. The majority of these children return home with visible or emotional scars. A small number of kidnapped children are never located. And, in rare instances, some abducted children are murdered by the stranger who betrayed their trust.
Despite the grim statistics, you have the ability to reduce the likelihood of child abduction. By joining other parents and collectively teaching your kids the importance of stranger danger, you can stop these appalling crimes before they happen.

landslide
A landslide is the movement of a lot of earth, debris, mud, or rocks down a slope. Some landslides occur very rapidly, and others move slowly and randomly down a slope, taking years to travel a few feet. The basic reason that all landslides happen is that the force that pulls the slope downwards, gravity, becomes greater than the strength of the earth that makes up the slope. In order for the land to be pulled down, something has to cause the slope to be vulnerable to gravity.
Some of the factors that contribute to the start of a landslide are:
- rivers, ocean waves, glaciers or rain fall cause part of a slope to erode and make it even steeper, letting gravity pull more easily
- the rocks and soil of a slope become very wet and slippery from heavy rain, or melting snow, which lets the land slip down very easily
- earthquakes that have a magnitude of 4 or higher can cause a landslide to start
- loose ash, lava, and debris from a volcanic eruptions can trigger a landslide
- man made structures, or other objects being deposited on a slope, can add too much weight to it and stress the soil. Landslides usually occur in several different types of areas. Canyon bottoms and stream channels are places where landslides commonly occur because many landslides start high up in the canyon, and then flow down into the canyon bottom, or stream channels, where they flow for long distances because the channel walls don't let it spread out and stop, they guide the earth through the channel
