Many Americans have already failed to keep their New Years resolutions and it?s not even March yet. A major reason people have failed to keep their exercise commitments was boredom.

Participating in social physical activities like basketball can reduce your mental illness symptoms. Exercising and gaming may reward you with human interaction, oxytocin, endorphins, adrenaline, dopamine, serotonin and a healthier body image. Basketball participants often activate several regions of their brains while incorporating several skills and body systems. Helping Vail?s team win games may boost your mood and the morale of the Uptown Clubhouse. Joining Vail's basketball team gives members the chance to improve their coordination, confidence, focus, fitness, communication and motor skills. Striving to improve your performance and working to contribute to Vail?s objectives may provide you with enhanced sense of purpose. Even though Minneapolis and Saint Paul are the 3rd and 7th fittest cities in the nation the fact remains that people with the lived experience of mental illness tend to die earlier than the average U.S. inhabitant. On average, people with mental illness experience more overweight and obesity than the rest of the general population. Indoor forms of physical activity like Vail basketball can help you obtain the recommended amount of physical activity this winter. In 2019, basketball improved the physical, social and mental health of members of different ages, backgrounds, genders and health statuses and this year it may improve yours. A lifestyle that optimizes your nervous system, fitness and body composition may improve your basketball performance and benefit your overall health. Like any form of physical activity there are risks involved in engaging but taking better care of yourself may help reduce your risk. Commitment to exercise and taking better care of yourself may also benefit the environment, economy and other aspects of your life. Added green benefits to exercise - being healthier tends to your lower carbon footprint and plant life feeds of some of the byproducts of exercise. Healthier people tend to take fewer days off and they often have an easier time contributing to the U.S. economy. Succeeding in a spectated, spotlighted domain like basketball can help you prove to the world that the demographics you identify with are as equal and as able as any demographic. Bringing attention to and improving society?s outlook towards sparsely represented, heavily stigmatized and supposedly less able populations might be as easy as joining Vail's basketball team.

    30 Amazing Facts You Never Knew About U.S. Presidents bestlifeonline.com/us-president-facts By Matt Alderton February 7, 2020 February 7, 2020 Alamy George Washington was a commander during the Revolutionary War. Abraham Lincoln was tall. Franklin D. Roosevelt had polio. John F. Kennedy was the first Catholic president. Richard Nixon resigned from office. Bill Clinton liked fast food. And Barack Obama had a dog named Bo while in office. These are just a few of the facts about U.S. presidents that you've probably heard before. For every nugget of presidential history that you've already mined, however, there is a treasure trove of trivia tidbits waiting to be discovered. After all, presidents aren't just America's most powerful leaders; as it turns out, they're also some of its most interesting characters. In honor of Presidents' Day, here are 30 fascinating facts you probably never knew about U.S. presidents. 1 George Washington was a redhead. 1/42 Shutterstock George Washington's lionized locks are universally recognized thanks to his place on the dollar bill. What's far less common knowledge, however, is that they were neither fake nor white, as they appear to be in portraits. While it's true that wigs were popular in Washington's day, America's first president preferred his natural hair, which he kept long 2/42 and wore tied back in a ponytail. Because he still wanted to appear fashionable, however, Washington—a redhead—powdered his hair so that it matched his contemporaries' white wigs. 2 John Adams was the first president to live in the White House.

  • The Prez Quiz Answers
    PREZ TRIVIAL QUIZ AND ANSWERS Below is a Presidential Trivia Quiz and Answers. GRADING CRITERIA: 33 questions, 3 points each, and 1 free point. If the answer is a list which has L elements and you get x correct, you get x=L points. If any are wrong you get 0 points. You can take the quiz one of three ways. 1) Take it WITHOUT using the web and see how many you can get right. Take 3 hours. 2) Take it and use the web and try to do it fast. Stop when you want, but your score will be determined as follows: If R is the number of points and T 180R is the number of minutes then your score is T + 1: If you get all 33 right in 60 minutes then you get a 100. You could get more than 100 if you do it faster. 3) The answer key has more information and is interesting. Do not bother to take the quiz and just read the answer key when I post it. Much of this material is from the books Hail to the chiefs: Political mis- chief, Morals, and Malarky from George W to George W by Barbara Holland and Bland Ambition: From Adams to Quayle- the Cranks, Criminals, Tax Cheats, and Golfers who made it to Vice President by Steve Tally. I also use Wikipedia. There is a table at the end of this document that has lots of information about presidents. THE QUIZ BEGINS! 1.

  • Thomas Jefferson Biography Guided Reading
    Activities: Guided Reading/Secondary Name_________________________ Thomas Jefferson 1743 – 1826 Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13, 1743 in Shadwell, Albemarle County, Virginia. His Father was Peter Jefferson, a well-to-do landowner, and his mother was Jane Randolph Jefferson, whose family was one of the original settlers of Virginia. Jefferson was a very tall, lanky young man with freckles and reddish, sandy hair. He attended the College of William and Mary and studied law. Upon his father's death, Jefferson inherited 5,000 acres of land. At the age of 26, Jefferson began building his Monticello estate. The mansion took several years to complete but a section of it was livable by the time he married Martha Wayles Skelton at age 29. They had 6 children but only two, Martha and Mary, lived to adulthood. Jefferson owned approximately 200 slaves he divided among three homes, Monticello, Albemarle County Plantation, and the Poplar Forest estate. Some of the slaves he inherited from his father and father-in-law. At one point, two of his slaves escaped and Jefferson did not attempt to recover them. By the time of his death, Jefferson freed 7 slaves, all of whom were members of the Hemings family. Jefferson was not only a lawyer and plantation owner, but also a scientist and inventor. His daily life revolved around the ideal of “Whether I retire to bed late or early, I rise with the sun.” No matter where his travels took him, each morning, Jefferson rose from sleep and followed a daily routine. He would measure the temperature, direction and speed of the wind, amount of rain, migration of birds and the appearance of the flowers.

  • Generation by Knoll™ Idea & Concept
    Generation by Knoll™ Idea & Concept Compiled and edited by Knoll, Inc. Based on interviews with Formway Design and Benjamin Pardo, Knoll Director of Design Introduction Does the world need another chair? Certainly that’s a reasonable question to ask when the planet is already populated by hundreds, if not thousands, of different chairs—chairs for working, dining, relaxing, playing, napping, waiting, or, even, admiring—some are a wonder to behold but awkward to sit in and some are so comfortable that one is reluctant to get up again. For centuries, the chair has captivated the imagination of many of the leading architects and designers of their day as a master-class problem: an assignment so basic yet so complex that in devising a solution, each would, in effect, engineer their own design DNA. Designing a new chair is, as architect Frank Gehry, once put it, “like asking me to find the meaning of life while standing on one foot.” Gehry fulfilled just such a daunting assignment from Knoll with his now iconic Cross Check chair and accompanying collection, introduced in 1992. With this chair, Knoll returned, once again, to its roots in experimental design and, particularly, its long history of innovative seating. Company co-founder, Florence Knoll, openly professed disdain for stiff chairs and, according to design writer Jonathan Olivares, stated that she was “sick and tired of these chairs that held you in one position.” That legacy continues today, as seen in our latest release, Generation by Knoll™, the result of our collaboration with Formway Design, the Wellington, New Zealand-based collaborative.
