Hyperbaric chambers are a very popular means for many people to experience medical treatment. There are real health benefits with them, especially with the recent Tel Aviv study showing that using hyperbaric chambers can reverse aging that strengthening the telamores (which is a sign of aging). It has a medical use by using ambient pressure greater than sea level atmospheric pressure. The therapy using these chambers is called HBOT or hyperbaric oxygen therapy. HBOT is about using oxygen on people higher than atmospheric pressure to help injured people or increase healing in human beings. The equipment used to create HBOT includes a pressure chamber (which can be rigid or flexible construction) to deliver 100 percent oxygen. Expert medical doctors set up a predetermined schedule to help patients. HBOT found early use in the treatment of decompression sickness, and has also shown great effectiveness in treating conditions such as gas gangrene and carbon monoxide poisoning. More recent research has examined the possibility that it may also have value for other conditions such as cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis, but no significant evidence has been found. A hyberbaric chamber can have therapeutic recompression too. It can be used for a treatment for decompression sickness and may also be used to treat arterial gas embolism caused by pulmonary barotrauma of ascent. In emergencies divers may sometimes be treated by in-water recompression (when a chamber is not available) if suitable diving equipment (to reasonably secure the airway) is available.
A number of hyperbaric treatment schedules have been published over the years for both therapeutic recompression and hyperbaric oxygen therapy for other conditions. Research shows evidence that HBOT can improve local tumor control, mortality, and local tumor recurrence for cancers of the head and neck. Former NFL player Joe Naismith said that HBOT helped to increase brain function in the back of his head in many interviews. In the United States the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society, known as UHMS, lists approvals for reimbursement for certain diagnoses in hospitals and clinics. The UHMS said that treatment can be good for dealing with carbon monoxide poisoning, crush injury, certain wounds, relief of a diabetic foot, excess blood loss (anemia), thermal burns, etc. There is no reliable evidence support its use in autism, cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, asthma, Bell's palsy, cerebral palsy, depression, heart disease, migraines, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, sports injuries, or stroke. A study suggests that exposure to hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT) might also mobilize stem/progenitor cells from the bone marrow by a nitric oxide-dependent mechanism. There are risks for some using HBOT like cataract, eardrum harm, and temporary blurred vision for weeks. HBOT has helped many lives to improve the brain, treat burns, help with diabetes, and other issues. Study finds hyperbaric oxygen treatments halt the aging of blood cells and reverses the aging process. A new study from Tel Aviv University (TAU) and the Shamir Medical Center in Israel indicates that hyperbaric oxygen treatments ( HBOT ) in healthy aging adults can stop the aging of blood cells and reverse the aging process.
This year of 2021 is the 50th year anniversary of Soul Train. Soul Train is a cultural staple of the black community. It has promoted some of the greatest musicians of all time from Stevie Wonder to Jody Watley. It was the brainchild of Don Cornelius and so many other Brothers and Sisters who desired expression to be widespread. Its birth came from Chicago where Don Cornelius worked hard on promoting black music. Back in 1965, the UHF station in Chicago called WCIU-TV promoted youth oriented dance programs. Many of these showed African American in studio dancers. Don Cornelius was hired by WCIU in 1967 as a reporters and sports reporter. He was a backup DJ at the radio station of WVON in Chicago. Cornelius brought The Soul Train show on TV. After securing a sponsorship deal with the Chicago-based retailer Sears, Roebuck and Company, Soul Train premiered on WCIU-TV on August 17, 1970, as a live show airing weekday afternoons. Beginning as a low-budget affair, in black and white, the first episode of the program featured Jerry Butler, the Chi-Lites, and the Emotions as guests. Cornelius was assisted by Clinton Ghent, a local professional dancer who appeared on early episodes before moving behind the scenes as a producer and secondary host.
Later, he moved into Los Angeles where Soul Train studios was located. Its showed aired form October 2, 1971 to March 2, 2006. Though Don Cornelius moved his operations west, a local version of Soul Train continued in Chicago; Cornelius hosted both the local Chicago and Los Angeles–based national programs simultaneously but soon focused his attention solely on the national edition. He continued to oversee production in Chicago, where Clinton Ghent hosted episodes on WCIU-TV until 1976, followed by three years of once-weekly reruns. Soul Train featured great dancers too. It showcased R&B, soul, dance, pop, jazz, disco, funk, gospel, and hip hop. Many people hosted the show like Mystro Clark, Shemar Moore, Dorian Gregory, and other people. Soul Train was a show that inspired so many generations. Some of the greatest Soul Train dancers were Bobcat, Thelma, Reggie, April, Damita Jo, Myron, Derek Foxtails, Louie Ski Carr, , Sharon, Cheryl Song, Rosie Perez, Cookie Morris, Linda Howard, Jody Watley, Monique Chambers, Crystal Calhoun, Toni Basil, Pat Davis, Fanta C, Deisel, Fred "Rerun" Berry, Greg Pope, Tyrone Proctor, Charles Washington, Don Campbellock, Shabba Doo, Jeffrey Daniel, etc.
To this day, the Soul Train Music Awards is here to celebrate the best in music from across genres. Questlove, drummer for hip-hop band The Roots and a fan of the program, authored Soul Train: The Music, Dance, and Style of a Generation. ISBN 978-0-0622-8838-7., which was published in 2013. The channel of Vh1 had the 2010 documentary of Soul Train: the Hippest Trip in America. I saw the documentary before.
It is always important to mention that men and women are equal and different. Back thousands of years ago, human beings survived by brain power from extinction. People used language, problem solving skills, and tools to live and develop civilizations. Biological dimorphism has nothing to do with flaws or inferiority. Biology is made up of a combination of genetics and environment interacting with each other. Biology is basically the study of life. Men and women have differences. On average, women outlive men in terms of life expectancy. On average, men have more physical strength than men. Likewise, there are tons of men and women who have great physical strength lifting weights, doing strength demanding jobs, and having happiness in many occupations. In other words, muscle is not just meant for men. Women have every right to be in fitness culture just like men. Therefore, men and women should have equal rights, justice, and human liberation without exception.
The 20th century saw a monumental amount of STEM developments found in inventions and discoveries. In 1900, Theodor Kober designed the first Zeppelin. In 1903, we saw the first manually controlled fixed wing, motorized aircraft. It was flown at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina by Orville and Wilbur Wright. Boston saw the creation of the first use of articulated trams in the Boston Elevated Railway in 1912. By 1915, the first operational military tanks are designed, in Great Britain and France. They are used in battle from 1916 and 1917 respectively. In Britain the designers are Walter Wilson and William Tritton; in France, Eugène Brillié. (Although it is known that vehicles incorporating at least some of the features of the tank were designed in a number of countries from 1903 onward, none reached a practical form). In 1926, the Yagi-Uda Antenna or simply Yagi Antenna is invented by Shintaro Uda of Tohoku Imperial University, Japan, assisted by his colleague Hidetsugu Yagi. The Yagi Antenna was widely used by the US, British, and Germans during World War II. After the war they saw extensive development as home television antennas. In the same year, Robert H. Goddard launched his first liquid fueled rocket. In 1928, Philo Farnsworth demonstrates the first practical electronic television to the press. The Supersonic combusting ramjet was created in 1930 by Frank Whittle. In 1935, Nylon (or the first fully synthetic fiber) was produced by Wallace Carothers while working at DuPont. By February of 1940, Pu-239 isotope (isotope of plutonium) a form of matter existing with the capacity for use as a destructive element (because the isotope has an exponentially increasing spontaneous fissile decay) within nuclear devices was researched by Glenn Seaborg. The V-2 rocket was formed in 1942 by Wernher von Braun. On July 1945, the atomic bomb is first successfully developed by the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada as a part of the Manhattan Project and swiftly deployed in August 1945 in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, effectively terminating World War II.
On December 20, 1951, there was the first use of nuclear power to produce electricity for households in Arco, Idaho. The hard disk drive was invented by IBM in 1956. The first functioning laser is invented by Theodore Maiman by 1960. The origin of the Internet called ARPANET was first deployed by UCLA, SRI, UCSB, and the University of Utah in 1969. Japan saw the invention of the pocket calculator in 1970. Email was invented by Ray Tomlinson in 1971. In 1971, the first single-chip microprocessor, the Intel 4004, is invented. Its development was led by Federico Faggin, using his silicon-gate MOS technology. This led to the personal computer (PC) revolution. In the same year, the first space station, Salyut 1 is launched by the Soviet Union. By 1972, the first video game console, used primarily for playing video games on a TV, is the Magnavox Odyssey. From 1973-1974, the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) is proposed by Vinton Cerf and Robert E. Kahn for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) ARPANET, creating the basis for the modern Internet. The microcomputer revolution grew in the 1970's. In 1978, the Global Positioning System (GPS) enters service. While not the first Satellite navigation system, it is the first to enter widespread civilian use. In 1981, the first reusable spacecraft, the Space Shuttle undergoes test flights ahead of full operation in 1982. By 1982, the first laptop computer was launched. It was the 8/16 bit Epson HX-20. The lithium-ion battery is invented by John B. Goodenough, Rachid Yazami and Akira Yoshino. It has impacted modern consumer electronics and electric vehicles in 1985. The World Wide Web was first first introduced to the public by English engineer and computer scientist Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1990. IBM Simon, World's first smart phone developed by IBM in 1994. By 1995, the DVD is an optical disc storage format, invented and developed by Philips, Sony, Toshiba, and Panasonic in 1995. DVDs offer higher storage capacity than Compact Discs while having the same dimensions. In 1998, the portable MP3 player is released by SaeHan Information Systems.
Gospel in 2021 continues to exist. Tasha Cobbs Leonard had This is a Move. Kirk Franklin still makes music with Love Theory. JJ Hairston and Youthful Praise had their song called Miracle Worker ft. Rich Tolbert Jr. Also, Andra had a song called Love Can Save It All. TobyMac released the song of I just Need U. Todd Dulaney and Lebohang Kgapola released the song of Victory Belongs to Jesus. Ada Ehi had the video of Cheta. Casey J sang the song of If God and Nothing But the Blood. The first video tape recorder, a helical scan recorder, is invented by Norikazu Sawazak in 1953. Ntokozo Mbambo made the song of We Pray for Me, Tony Dulaney expressed his song called You're Doing It All Again,and Jekalyn Carr has music called It's Yours. Other artists of this generation include people like: Ledisi, Kierra Sheard, Travis Greene, Maranda Curtis, Jason Nelson, Kelonate Gavin, Donnie McClurkin, Tamela Mann, Marvin Sapp, Mandisa, Jonathan McReynolds, Collen Malukee, Charles Jenkins, Le'Andria Johnson, Mvini, Anita Wilson, Todd Galberth, Steffany Gretzinger, The Walls Group, Brian Courtney Wilson, etc.
Gospel music and social activism go hand in hand. Back during 19th century, many religious spirituals were about fighting slavery, standing up for black dignity plus black humanity, and desiring a better future for their descendants. During Reconstruction and the Civil Rights Movement, many gospel singers not only sang to promote justice. They were active in the Civil Rights Movement like Aretha Franklin and Mahalia Jackson funding efforts to eliminate Jim Crow apartheid. Bill Withers' Lean on Me were advocating for freedom. During the 1960's, songs like We Shall Not Be moved and Which Side Are You On? inspired protesters to stand up for civil rights. Betty Simmons sang A Charge to Keep, and Sister Rosetta Tharpe sang Up Above My Head, I Hear Freedom in the Air. The Staple Singers performed Freedom Highway, and they marched many miles with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Many gospel singers loved the sing the song Keep Your Eyes on the Prize, Hold On. Fannie Lou Hamer was a great singer too. She sang the song of This Little Light of Mine including the Ward Singers. We Shall Overcome was one of the many anthems of the Civil Rights movement. From 1968 to 2014, gospel artists have continued to be part of social movements for change. In 1998, Kirk Franklin presented the song of Revolution which called for changes in society to bring people together. Now in the era of fighting for voting rights again, BLM, fighting against gun violence, and standing up against police brutality, artists like Lecrae have used music to address many social problems that must be rectified.
Involving Cold War foreign policy, the far right reactionaries had tensions against President John F. Kennedy. After the Northwoods plans were sent to JFK, we know that JFK rejected those plans. Lyman Lemnitzer was removed as Joints Chiefs. Also, authors have documented the huge conservative Wall Street Journal opposing Kennedy's foreign and domestic policies. President John F. Kennedy back then wanted domestic spending plans and foreign aid which many people in the Wall Street Journal didn't want. That is why JFK supported many policies from the liberal Keynesian Walter Heller from the Council fo Economic Advisors (CEA). During the Presidency of JFK, economic growth doubled and GNP increased by 20 percent. JFK got 35 of his 55 bills passed in late 1961. James Saxon was Kennedy's Comptroller of the Currency. Kennedy took advice from Saxon and Heller to counter the views of the conservative person Dillon.
Princess Diana of Wales was one of the most famous people in history. She lived from 1961 to 1997. Also, her story has a long history. Princess Diana Frances Spencer wanted to be her own woman. She grew up in the UK and had ancestry relating to British nobility. Yet, she never wanted to be known as a person who used her title to advance arrogance. There are countless stories where she displayed a profound sense of curiosity, compassion, and generosity. Diana was more than first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales. She was a mother to the children of Prince William and Prince Harry. She traveled the world to embark to fight disease, fight poverty, and earnestly advance peace against mines. Certain media figures crossed the line in harassing her and violating her privacy constantly. From showing campaigns to help the elderly and AIDS patients to rising awareness about cancer plus mental illness, she was always active. Companies like Versace, Armani, Chanel, Dio, Gucci, and Clark had fashion that she wore. In 2022, it has been 25 years since her passing, and it's the perfect time to make known to the public about her life and legacy.
