Figure 1. Thinking is an important part of our human experience, and one that has captivated people for centuries. Today, it is one area of psychological study. The 19th-century Girl with a Book by José Ferraz de Almeida Júnior, the 20th-century sculpture The Thinker by August Rodin, and Shi Ke's 10th-century painting Huike Thinking all reflect the fascination with the process of human thought.

Why is it so difficult to break habits—like reaching for your ringing phone even when you shouldn't, such as when you're driving? How does a person who has never seen or touched snow in real life develop an understanding of the concept of snow? How do young children acquire the ability to learn language with no formal instruction? Psychologists who study thinking explore questions like these.
Cognitive psychologists also study intelligence. What is intelligence, and how does it vary from person to person? Are "street smarts" a kind of intelligence, and if so, how do they relate to other types of intelligence? What does an IQ test really measure? These questions and more will be explored in this module as you study thinking and intelligence.
As a part of this discussion, we will consider thinking and briefly explore the development and use of language. We will also discuss problem solving and creativity, intelligence testing, and how our biology and environments interact to affect intelligence. After finishing this module, you will have a greater appreciation of the higher-level cognitive processes that contribute to our distinctiveness as a species.

Fast Facts: March is Brain Injury Awareness Month
Most people never imagine living with the effects of a long-term brain injury, but upwards of 5.3 million people in the United States are living with a permanent brain-related injury. Roughly 2.8 million Americans sustain a traumatic brain injury each year. According to the Brain Injury Association of America, 47% of brain injuries occur from falls. Older adults have a greater risk of falls, and therefore, an increased risk for sustaining a traumatic brain injury. The second leading cause of brain injuries at 17% is being struck against something, while 13% of brain injuries result from motor vehicle accidents, the third-leading cause.
The Brain Injury Association of America also reports that every nine seconds someone in the United States sustains a brain injury. There are two different types of brain injuries: acquired brain injury (ABI) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). An ABI is a brain injury that causes damage to the brain through internal factors. This includes things like lack of oxygen to the brain, exposure to toxins and pressure from a tumor. A TBI is an alteration of brain function caused by an external force.
The Wisconsin Hospital Association Information Center analyzed traumatic brain injuries from the collected claims data from 2017 to 2019 for inpatient, outpatient, emergency department visits and observation visits. In total for those years, roughly 50,000 brain injuries were suffered by patients. The average age of patients who visited the above facilities was 39. In keeping with the Brain Injury Association of America's data, many older adults sustained head injuries from falls, but there were many children who were injured from sports and other accidents. Male patients visited facilities for brain injuries more frequently than females. On average, patients admitted to hospitals with a TBI stayed for about two days before being released.
March is Brain Injury Awareness Month, and the Brain Injury Association of American hopes that its awareness campaign will increase understanding of brain injury as a chronic condition, reduce the stigma associated with having a brain injury, showcase the diversity of injuries and the demographics of the community, and improve care and support for individuals with brain injury and their families. The #MoreThanMyBrainInjury social media campaign aims to help educate people about what it is like to live with a brain injury.

Tori Moore Wiki: Philadelphia Eagles' Hero, Nick Foles' Wife
By: Caroline John - Published: January 22, 2018 at 11:11 am
Photo: Al Bello / Staff / Getty Images
Nick Foles stepped in for an injured Carson Wentz, threw like a champion, and led the Philadelphia Eagles to the Super Bowl. Nick Foles' wife, Tori Moore, looked ecstatic as her husband's team celebrated their win.
Nick Foles who? Until recently, hope for the Philadelphia Eagles' chances at the Super Bowl championship was pinned on Carson Wentz. But with the MVP-candidate out with a season-ending injury, backup quarterback, Nick Foles stepped up, and he could have even been better than Carson Wentz.
After throwing 352 yards and three touchdowns, Nick Foles led the Eagles one step closer to a Super Bowl championship. Much has changed in Foles' career, and his wife has supported him through all of it. Find out about Nick Foles' wife, right here in our Tori Moore wiki.
They Met in College
Nick Foles transferred from Michigan State to the University of Arizona for the 2008 freshman season. While playing with the Wildcats, he ranked first in the Pac-12 Conference and fifth among all NCAA Division I FBS players before graduating with a degree in communications.
He met fellow student-athlete, Tori Moore, who played volleyball at Arizona. The California native was team captain in high school, and named MVP in her sophomore year. Foles saw Moore on his first day at Arizona.
"She was the first person I actually ever saw at the University of Arizona," he said. "I was going to my [football] physical. I remember walking down the stairs and thinking, 'Wow, this might be the most gorgeous person I've ever seen.' But when you're at the University of Arizona, everybody's always talking about the women there."
They started as friends and dated later before Foles popped the question in 2014. They got married on the down-low a few months later. In June 2017, she gave birth to their first child, a girl named Lily James Foles.
Congrats to Nick Foles on getting engaged! pic.twitter.com/uaMX5ijhPY
— Eagles Nation SUPER BOWL CHAMPS (@PHLEaglesNation) February 25, 2014
She's Not Unfamiliar with Football
Both Foles and Moore come from large families. While the NFL-er has two sisters, Katie and Lacey, his wife is the youngest and only girl of three. Her brother, Ryan played collegiate basketball at UC Davis. But it is her other brother, Evan, who was her connection to football before Nick.
Evan Moore is a former tight end who played in the NFL from 2008 to 2012. After graduating from Stanford, he signed with the Green Bay Packers. He ended his career with the Philadelphia Eagles where he was Foles' teammate for a brief time.
The quarterback definitely sees the advantage of marrying a former athlete who knows a thing or two about football. "She's an athlete as well, so she knows how it goes," Foles said. "She pushes to make me better."
She Worked for Nike
While her husband was playing in the NFL, Moore was working for Nike Inc. and maintaining an active lifestyle. But 2013 took a turn for Moore's health as she detailed in a blog post for The Increase Women.
Moore was diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), which led to an underlying diagnosis of Lyme disease. But she has taken her illness positively, and hopes to encourage other women who are fighting health issues of their own.
"For me, this illness has been a journey of faith, hope, and trust in the process that God has set out for me," she wrote. "Through my writing and my blog, I hope to be able to give some perspective on how to view difficult situations and help inspire people to find purpose in what they are going through."
Moore keeps a low profile and has her Instagram set to private. But she shared some of her happiest moments on a now inactive blog and through the Eagles' social media. The couple donated $250,000 to their alma mater for the construction of an academic center.

Registration Pictures and Marking System
The number of victims
Sponsored by the Michael Frank Family Charitable Fund
Faces of Auschwitz
Photos and stories from victims and survivors of the Holocaust
The Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum holds a collection of 38,916 registration photographs that were taken between February 1941 and January 1945 in the laboratory of Erkennungsdienst in Auschwitz I. The preserved photos, 31,969 of men and 6,947 of women, constitute only a fraction of a vast Nazi photo archive destroyed during the camp evacuation in January 1945. While we do not know the total number of registration photographs taken during the operation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, we do know that only prisoners who survived the initial selection and incorporation into the Auschwitz-Birkenau prisoner population had their photos taken. Those condemned to extermination at the onset were not photographed.
Initially, the Nazis planned to photograph each of approximately 400,000 prisoners registered at Auschwitz-Birkenau, half of whom were Jewish. The motivation was to create a visual aid to identify runaway prisoners or those whose identity had to be confirmed during their stay in the camp. However, the system proved to be ineffective. The cruel and inhuman conditions of the camp life made prisoners' emaciated physique and facial features unrecognizable shortly after they arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Each photographed prisoner posed for three distinct shots standard in prison photography: a profile shot, an en face shot, and a head-covering shot with a headscarf (women) or a cap (men). Prisoner faces and heads were shaven and their uniforms embroidered with camp numbers, triangles corresponding to different prisoner categories, and letters identifying prisoners' countries of origin. While most of the photographed prisoners wore camp uniforms, few of the registration photographs feature prisoners wearing civilian clothes.
Prisoners were photographed soon after their arrival in Auschwitz-Birkenau by fellow-prisoners who were forced to work in the camp photo laboratory in Block 26. The Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum identifies names of some of these camp photographers: Wilhelm Brasse (No. 3444), Alfred Woycicki (no. 39247), Tadeusz Myszkowski (no. 593), Józef Pysz (no. 1420) Józef Światłoch (no. 3529), Eugeniusz Dembek (no. 63764), Bronisław Jureczek (no. 26672), Tadeusz Krzysica (no. 120557), Stanisław Trałka (no. 660), and Zdzisław Pazio (no. 3078).
In January 1945, Nazis ordered prisoners Wilhelm Brasse and Bronisław Jureczek to burn the remains of the Auschwitz-Birkenau photo archive. In an attempt to preserve photographic evidence of the camp registration system, Wilhelm and Bronisław retrieved undestroyed photographs from the furnace and boarded the lab door to prevent unauthorized access after the evacuation of the camp. The two saved 38,916 photographs, 38,916 of which constitute the current archival collection of the Museum.

MARKING SYSTEM
The system of marking and identifying prisoners by a combination of colored inverted triangles and lettering originated before World War II in concentration camps in Germany. From 1938, Jews in the camps were identified by a yellow star sewn onto their prison uniforms. In Auschwitz-Birkenau, the system was implemented with certain modifications. However, it was not used for all prisoner groups.
Red triangles marked "political prisoners (Schutzhäftlinge – Sch.), in other words, those who were imprisoned on the basis of a "protective custody order" (Schutzhaftbefehl) issued by a state police post. The political prisoners in Auschwitz were, above all, Poles. Green triangles marked "criminal" prisoners (Berufsverbrecher – BV), imprisoned as a direct consequence of committing a forbidden act, or after release from prison in cases where the criminal police regarded the sentence imposed by the court as too lenient. Prisoners in this category were mostly Germans.
Black triangles marked "asocial" prisoners (Asoziale – Aso), imprisoned in theory for vagrancy or prostitution, but in fact for a wide range of other deeds or behaviors, loosely and arbitrarily interpreted by the police. The Roma in the Birkenau "Gypsy camp" were classified as asocial. Purple triangles marked prisoners imprisoned for belonging to the Jehovah's Witnesses (Internationale Bibelforscher-Vereinigung – IBV), regarded as enemies of the state because of their pacifistic beliefs.
Pink triangles marked homosexual prisoners, in practice exclusively German, who were imprisoned on the basis of §175 of the German criminal code. Source

Stylish new homes emerging from turn-of-the-century industrial barns
A Devon-based developer is giving a site near Yealmpton a major makeover
Gillian Molesworth
If you love the idea of rural living in a peaceful location but can't bear the thought of being miles from anywhere, this could be just what you're looking for. Hareston Farm Barns near Yealmpton in the South Hams are less than five minutes from the A38 Devon Expressway (just six miles from Plymouth) and yet they nestle peacefully within an unspoilt wooded valley with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.
Award-winning firm Dart Developments acquired the site three years ago and are in the process of converting the barns into 14 unique one, two and three-bedroom homes.
Managing Director Ian Dennis says: "In the South Hams it is now very unusual to find a derelict range of farm buildings of this quality and scale, but to find just that in such a beautiful location is extremely rare indeed."
Built for large-scale farm production by the Plymouth Cooperative Society in 1908, the old stone barns at Hareston are unusually large, particularly in width, allowing for the design of spacious new homes with very open plan living areas. The Cooperative had started buying farms to aid their endeavours to produce good food at fairer prices and Hareston was primarily a busy dairy farm.
Says Ian: "Built to an industrial spec with a huge number of windows, these buildings lend themselves to residential use very well. In the knowledge that we had something very special on our hands, we have been to painstaking lengths in terms of design, spec and finish to ensure that this offering is our best yet."
Typically Devonian in style, the buildings form an E shape and are of unusually large proportions.
There are also two smaller detached barns, once a piggery and a pump house, which have been converted into charming and unique homes offering exceptional gardens and views of the adjacent meadows and woodland.
A plaque on the buildings states: "Nothing is permanent here, even the woods abide their time."
Ian says: "Creating state of the art homes while respecting the character of these historic buildings (and the resident bats and birds) is a challenge to say the least but I believe we are again achieving just that."
Harmoniously contrasting the traditional stone exteriors, the interiors of the homes have a sleek modern design.
Underfloor heating is a standard feature and quality oak joinery, from flooring to bespoke staircases, features throughout.
Individually designed contemporary kitchens are stunning centrepieces, along with ultra-modern gas fires and the very best in quality bathroom fittings.
Wherever possible, preserved roof trusses and original internal features are retained to create a stylish fusion of traditional and contemporary.
Outside, the development will be superbly landscaped, with private gardens of varying sizes for each property. Also in the spec will be garaging and a truly generous amount of parking for all residents and visitors.
Surrounding the site are large communal areas of peaceful recreational space with tree planting, seating areas and fabulous views of the countryside and its wildlife.
Nestling in a beautiful wooded valley in the South Hams, less than five minutes off the A38 Devon Expressway, Hareston Farm is approximately six miles from the historic maritime city of Plymouth and five miles from Ivybridge. The latter has the nearest secondary school and railway station.
Few could argue over the merits of location here. An easy commute to Plymouth, it also sits between Dartmoor National Park (roughly 20 minute's drive) and some of South Devon's unspoilt coastal attractions, including Newton Ferrers, Noss Mayo and the superb beaches of Mothecombe and Challaborough.
While falling within the parish of Brixton, Hareston is arguably closer (just under two miles) to the small town of Yealmpton (pronounced "yamt'n") which offers a great array of amenities, including excellent pubs, a hotel and organic farm shops.
The area is steeped in local history. Yealmpton itself is home to Mother Hubbard's Cottage, formerly the home of the housekeeper at nearby Kitley House who was the model for the character who appears in Mother Hubbard Rhymes written at Kitley and published in 1805.
It was also here at nearby Kitley Caves where the famous green marble was quarried; there is an arch of it at the British Museum.
Address: Hareston Farm Barns, Hareston, near Yealmpton, PL8 2LD
Prices: from £425,000

Dr. Paul Saladino: The Compelling Case For Carnivore
Host Brad Kearns goes deep into the fascinating world of the nose-to-tail carnivore diet with leading expert Dr. Paul Saladino. If you've heard of this emerging dietary strategy and don't know what to think, Dr. Paul presents an extremely compelling and scientifically validated case for emphasizing nutrient-dense animal foods in your diet. Regarding the plant foods that we have long been told to make a dietary centerpiece, Dr. Paul proposes that the natural toxins contained in all plants may be compromising your health without you knowing it. If you have any form of nagging autoimmune or inflammatory conditions that aren't responding to traditional treatment, consider a test period of exclusion of all plant foods to give your digestive system and potential leaky gut condition and chance to heal. Dr. Paul is the author of the bestseller The Carnivore Code. Learn more at CarnivoreMD.com

Ryan Baxter: Nose Breathing To Improve Oxygen Delivery And Reduce Workout Stress
Host Brad Kearns welcomes Primal Health Coach Ryan Baxter to the show to discuss the importance of intentional breathing as it relates to minimizing workout (and life) stress and optimizing fat burning. Ryan discusses the important role breathing plays in whether we burn carbs or fat during aerobic workouts.
Beyond the need to observe the "180 minus age" in heartbeats per minute, the efficiency of our delivery of oxygen to working muscles is also relevant. Ryan explains how improving our CO2 tolerance can improve oxygen delivery, making workouts less stressful and improving performance. The less CO2 you can tolerate the quicker you are going to want to exhale it from your body—that's why we default to shallow, panting, inefficient breaths - not only during workouts but also at rest.
This stimulates sympathetic (fight or flight) nervous system function while nose breathing stimulates parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system function. The greater you can tolerate C02 the slower you will be able to exhale it. You'll learn how to dabble in the popular practice of nose breathing both at rest and during workouts. Try the shiftadapt test (linked below) to see how well you tolerate CO2 now and track improvement over time.

Iraqi youth on the streets of Baghdad
AT LEAST five demonstrators have been killed in Baghdad, Karbala and Baqubah in Iraq as security forces opened fire on the mass protest of young people who have risen up demanding a complete overhaul of the political system.
Iraqi protesters vowed to continue their escalation until demands for an independent prime minister and snap elections are met, as deadly violence surged in Baghdad and several key southern cities.
Two protesters were killed in the capital's Tayaran Square in the early hours of Monday after security forces fired live ammunition and tear gas to disperse angry crowds, officials said. Another protester was killed in Baghdad later in the day.
Two died after being struck by live rounds fired by security forces and the third after a tear gas canister pierced his neck, they said.
Witnesses said a photojournalist and a volunteer paramedic in his 20s were among the dead. The paramedic was shot in the head by live-fire and died at the scene.
'Yusuf's injury was quite severe. His head was visibly damaged and he was in critical condition,' said Diaa, 34, an ambulance driver at the scene. 'He died right there.'
According to a statement by the National Union of Iraqi Journalists, the other victim Sattar was taking photos near Kilani Square when he was shot.
Family members and protesters later gathered in central Baghdad to pay their respects at his funeral procession.
A fourth protester was also killed in the southern city of Karbala after he was shot in the chest. A video of the unidentified man showed him in an ambulance as a paramedic attempted to resuscitate him.
The fifth demonstrator died in Baqubah, 50km (31 miles) to the northeast of Baghdad, but details of his death were not immediately available.
In addition to the deaths, at least 100 others were wounded in the violence in Baghdad and Iraq's south. The Iraqi government did not confirm the number of deaths or injuries.
The violence came as security forces stormed the main highways and squares after protesters gathered to decry the government's lack of response to their demands.
Last Monday, demonstrators gave the government a week's deadline to respond to key demands, which included the appointment of an independent prime minister and holding snap elections under a new electoral law.
As the deadline expired at midnight, protesters geared up for further escalations to express their anger. They sealed off main highways and roads inside and around the city, setting tyres on fire, turning back cars and putting up metal barriers to seal off central areas.
'We plan to keep going, cutting off more of the large highways and roads. Our aim is to bring the city to a complete standstill so the government responds to our demands,' Hussein Hassaan, a 30-year-old protester near Baghdad's Tayaran Square said. 'We've managed to bring all movement on Mohamed Qassem highway to a complete stop and we will do the same across the whole city.'
Haider Mohsen, 28, pledged to do the same. 'We'll continue to protest until we have a new electoral law and until Parliament appoints an independent prime minister. We want someone who represents us, not the political parties in power,' he said.

Kochi, India 8 Dec 2016: Yoga reduces blood pressure in patients with prehypertension, according to a study presented at the 68th Annual Conference of the Cardiological Society of India (CSI).
"Patients with prehypertension (slightly elevated blood pressure) are likely to develop hypertension (high blood pressure) unless they improve their lifestyle," said lead author Dr Ashutosh Angrish, a cardiologist at Sir Gangaram Hospital in Delhi, India. "Both prehypertension and high blood pressure increase the risk of heart attack, stroke and heart failure."
Hypertension is defined as a systolic blood pressure (BP) ?140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP ?90 mmHg, while prehypertension is a systolic BP 120-139 mmHg or a diastolic BP 80-89 mmHg.
This study investigated the impact of hatha yoga on blood pressure in 60 patients with prehypertension who were otherwise healthy. The details of yoga practice have been published previously.2 Briefly, patients were randomised to two groups of 30 each to assess the effect of three months of yoga plus conventional lifestyle changes versus conventional lifestyle changes alone (control group) on 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure.
Yoga included stretching exercises (asanas), breath control (pranayam) and meditation. It was taught by a yoga instructor for one month and then patients subsequently followed it at home. Yoga practice was for one hour every day. Conventional lifestyle changes consisted of moderate aerobic exercise, diet, and smoking cessation.
The average age of participants was 56 years in the yoga group and 52 years in the control group. In the yoga group there were 16 women and 14 men, while in the control group there were 17 women and 13 men. The 24 hour mean BP at baseline was 130/80 mmHg in the yoga group and 127/80 mmHg in the control group.
The investigators found that in the yoga group, both 24 hour diastolic BP and night diastolic BP significantly decreased by approximately 4.5 mmHg and 24 hour mean arterial pressure significantly decreased by around 4.9 mmHg.3 The control group did not show any significant change in blood pressure.
Regarding the way yoga may reduce blood pressure, Dr Angrish said: "The exact mechanism is not clear from our study but it has been postulated that yoga may decrease the sympathetic drive, reset the baroreceptors and cause neurohumoral effects. The findings suggest that a combination of all three components of yoga (asanas, pranayam and meditation) is helpful but our study is unable to pinpoint their individual contribution."
He concluded: "Our research suggests that patients with prehypertension should be advised to practice hatha yoga (a combination of asanas, pranayam and meditation) for one hour daily. It may prevent the development of hypertension and in addition give a sense of well-being."
Dr Shirish Hiremath, CSI President Elect and Chairman of the CSI 2016 Scientific Committee, said: "Yoga is a part of traditional Indian culture, and has shown clear benefit in cases of prehypertension. Easy to practice and can be adapted by masses and is also very economical, yoga can go a long way in improving the overall health of the country, as hypertension is affecting a large number of young Indians. Yoga can turn out to be just the correct answer for people at risk."
Professor Roberto Ferrari, a Past President of the ESC and course director of the ESC programme in India, said: "Cardiovascular disease can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle and controlling blood pressure and cholesterol. Exercise, including yoga, a good quality diet, and not smoking are all steps in the right direction."

24 hour diastolic BP decreased by about 4.5 mmHg, from 80.82 ± 7.33 to 76.28 ± 7.54 mmHg (p = 0.029).
Night diastolic BP decreased by about 4.5 mmHg, from 72.07 ± 7.97 to 67.49 ± 8.17 mmHg (p = 0.042).
24 hour mean arterial pressures decreased by about 4.9 mmHg, from 99.05 ± 7.36 to 94.12 ± 8.26 mmHg (p = 0.024).

TIP! A good tip that can help your child cope with asthma is to make sure you never smoke around them. There's a long list of environmental asthma triggers, and secondhand smoke is at the top of it.
The lungs are absolutely essential to living a healthy life, everyone knows that, but what everyone doesn't know is how to live and maintain their stamina whilst suffering from asthma. It is possible to live a normal and healthy life if you have asthma. This article will help you make the right choices when it comes to a life with asthma and help you avoid the wrong ones.
TIP! Asthma can cause increased sensitivity to the ingredients contained in many cleaning products. Cleaning products contain a plethora of chemicals that are triggers to exacerbating symptoms related to asthma, as well as the attacks themselves.
What kind of asthma do you have? When you know in-depth information about your asthma, you can figure out how to fight against it. For example, if your asthma is induced by exercise, it might be wise to always have an inhaler in your gym bag. Knowing your asthma symptom patterns will help keep you safe.
If you have been diagnosed with asthma and you are a smoker, it is time to quit. Smoking is a terrible habit but it's even worse for someone who suffers from asthma as it decreases the amount of oxygen that gets to your lungs.
Be careful of chemical cleaners if you are asthmatic. Cleaning products are often full of chemicals, and breathing those chemicals in can irritate your lungs. If you do the cleaning in your house, use natural solutions that are safer for you to breath in.
TIP! If you are having an asthma attack (mild or moderate), you need to try to force air out of the lungs. Exhale as quickly as possible, expelling air forcefully out of your lungs.
Never use a fan in a dirty, dust-filled room. This could trigger an asthma attack because this will move the dust around. Open a window to bring clean, cool air inside instead.
TIP! If you're in a room that has a lot of dust in it, don't turn on a fan. A fan will spread dust and debris all over.
Talk to your doctor about getting a leukotriene inhibitor if you have asthma. This prescription will prevent the product of leukotrines and help to abate the symptoms of asthma. Inhibiting this chemical can lead to a decrease in asthma symptoms. This inhibitor can prevent leukotrienes, which makes you less likely to have an asthma attack.
TIP! If you suffer from asthma and allergies that result in attacks, you can get injections of long-lasting medication for relief. Omalizumab is one such medication, and can control the allergic symptoms you may be experienced.
Be sure you and your family members get a yearly flu vaccination. Asthma sufferers need to be careful and guard against any upper-resperatory illnesses. Take standard precautions against any kind of illness, and start washing those hands and getting vaccinations that will protect you from getting very sick.
TIP! If you have asthma that is not covered by health insurance, contact someone in a government agency, like a social worker. Social workers are often able to locate a hospital or clinic that can offer free or low cost options to make sure you can fill your medication prescriptions.
Vitamins C and E can greatly assist you in fighting asthma attacks. You can buy these vitamins to help you get better function from your lungs and control your asthma symptoms. Either find a good vitamin supplement to take, or change your diet to include more foods rich in Vitamins E and C. The vitamins will help improve the immune system, which will help you fight off illnesses that cause asthma.
TIP! Take a lot of Vitamin E and C if you are suffering from asthma. Since both of these have been attributed to better function of the lungs, they also help to control the symptoms of asthma.
A dehumidifier can significantly reduce the asthma attacks experienced by you or other afflicted members of your household. Reducing the amount of humidity in your home reduces the number of dust mites, which in turn reduces the chances of your asthma flaring up. Dehumidifiers remove the humidity by drying out the air that flows through your house.
TIP! You may want to join an online or offline support group. Left untreated, asthma can be very debilitating and prevent you from enjoying your normal activities.
If you use any more than four kinds of cleaning product around your home, then the risk of an asthma attack is increased. Opt for organic cleaning products that do not contain irritating chemicals.
TIP! Some of the major causes of asthma, and triggers for asthma attacks, can exist right in the home. These include dust, mold and spores.
Asthma treatment dosages will need to be increased if you are sick with a cold or are dealing with hay fever. Illnesses like this can often worsen your asthma symptoms, which may require that you up your dosage of certain medications. Your doctor may also add another treatment to your regimen until your illness gets better.
TIP! Mold and mildew thrive in homes with high humidity levels. These are harmful substances that can trigger asthma attacks.
Although asthma is a chronic, lifelong condition, managing it gets easier over time. It's especially helpful to follow tips like the ones you just read and your doctor's advice. There are new medications being discovered all the time to help treat asthma. With some luck, maybe asthma can be a thing of the past.

The City of Whittlesea is a local government area located in the outer northern suburbs of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The city covers an area of , and in June 2018, it had a population of 223,322.

History

What became the City of Whittlesea had its origins in two separate roads districts (an early, single-purpose form of local government). The first, Whittlesea Roads District, was incorporated on 12 December 1862.  On 1 January 1875 it was amalgamated with the Merriang riding of the Shire of Darebin to create the Shire of Whittlesea. The second, Epping Roads District, was incorporated on 21 July 1870. It was then enlarged on 11 January 1859 and then again on 25 July 1864 to cover the Northcote area. On 26 September 1870 it was merged with Merriang Roads District, Upper Plenty Roads District and Woodstock Roads District to form the Shire of Darebin. Part of the Shire of Derebin was then excised to create the Shire of Jika in 1872, and, as stated above, Merriang riding was merged with the Whittlesea Roads District to form the Shire of Whittlesea in 1875. The Shire of Darebin was renamed the Shire of Epping on 22 March 1894. On 1 October 1915, the Shire of Epping was absorbed by the Shire of Whittlesea as part of a restructuring of local government outside the Melbourne metropolitan area in Victoria.

On 31 May 1955, parts of the City of Broadmeadows were annexed to Shire of Whittlesea and the neighbouring Shire of Bulla. The population grew rapidly as urbanisation reached the southern edge of the shire. In 1979 an internal redistribution took place creating the four ridings based on population and on 30 March 1988 it was proclaimed by the Governor of Victoria as a City, effective from 15 April of that year. Until the amalgamations of the mid-1990s, the City was  in size.

On 15 December 1994, massive local government reform once again affected Whittlesea's boundaries, although unlike most, the City survived largely intact. 18% of its land area was ceded to entities created in 1994 – the Doreen and Arthurs Creek districts were lost to the new Shire of Nillumbik, while Kinglake West went to Shire of Murrindindi and Somerton to the City of Hume.

Until April 1993, the council met at the Shire Office at High Street and Houston Street, Epping, next to the primary school. In that month, it moved to its present headquarters in Ferres Boulevard, South Morang. The original premises in Epping is now a council depot.

The City of Whittlesea is a culturally diverse community with the 2011 Census recording that 38.3% of residents were born overseas.

Whittlesea 2040 is a long term vision for the City and guides the Council's work and future partnerships with the community and others.

History of the main suburbs

Bundoora

The traditional owners of the land now known as Bundoora were probably the Wurundjeri-willam clan. Bundoora was named after Keelbundoora, which was the name of the parish (land) where Bundoora exists today. Keelbundoora was also the name of the young boy present at the signing of the Batman treaty, a historic land agreement made by European settler, John Batman with the Aboriginal people of Melbourne in 1835. The treaty was later ruled invalid by the government of the day. Only a small part of Bundoora is within the City of Whittlesea boundary, the rest of the suburb is served by Darebin City Council and Banyule City Council.

Lalor

Lalor was established in 1947. Lalor was originally the home of a low-cost housing project that provided houses for ex-servicemen returning from World War II. The first primary school opened in 1954.

Thomastown

Legend has it that Thomastown was named after a local settler called Thomas who started a popular market garden in 1848. It was more than likely named after Thomastown in Ireland, a parish and market town in the County of Kilkenny, or a station on the Waterford to Kilkenny Junction railway. Thomastown East Primary school was opened in 1961.

Epping

Epping was named after the Epping Forest in Essex, England in 1853. The first hotel opened the same year. The first Catholic school was opened in 1844.

South Morang

South Morang is named after the Parish (or area) of Morang where the suburb exists today. The first primary school in South Morang was built in 1877 and the suburb has two major parks, Hawkstowe and Plenty Gorge Parklands. The former Whittlesea railway line used to run through South Morang, as in many other suburbs in the municipality.

Whittlesea

Whittlesea, as the township came to be called, was named after Whittlesey in England. Close to 1889 a railway from Whittlesea to Melbourne was established to transport goods produced in the region to Melbourne. The railway closed in 1959.

Mill Park

Mill Park was named after Henry "Money" Miller who bred racehorses and conducted a range of dairy and grazing activities at his property named The Findon Hounds and the Findon Harriers Hunt Club until 1930. Residential development began in Mill Park in the 1970s.

Mernda

This area has grown from a population of 1316 in 2001 to 3430 in 2006, and is anticipated to grow to around 40,000 people at full development. The name Mernda means "young girl" in the local Wurundjeri Aboriginal language. When Mernda was named in 1913 the township consisted of a school, a Methodist church, a store and a railway station. In the early 1900s there were many dairy farms in Mernda that supplied milk to Melbourne.

Wards

Historically, Shire of Whittlesea was divided into four ridings, each electing three councillors. When it became a City in 1988, these were converted into wards:

 Centre Ward (formerly Yan Yean Riding, then Central Riding)
 East Ward (formerly Morang Riding, then South East Riding)
 West Ward (formerly Thomastown Riding, then South West Riding)
 North Ward (formerly Whittlesea Riding, then North Riding)

Over a number of elections there have been changes to the number of wards and councillors. In 1994 Whittlesea was re-subdivided into nine wards, each with one councillor. At the 2005 election the Victorian Electoral Commission reviewed the ward boundaries and composition. This resulted in three wards, each electing three councillors.

At the 2012 General Election the three wards were retained, however changes were made to ward boundaries to reflect the municipality's growing population. In total eleven councillors were elected:
 North Ward (3 councillors)
 South-East Ward (4 councillors)
 South-West Ward (4 councillors)

Townships and localities
The 2021 census, the city had a population of 229,396 up from 197,491 in the 2016 census

^ - Territory divided with another LGA

Population

Councillors
After a three-month investigation into administrative and governing issues, on 20 March 2020 the Victorian state government dismissed Whittlesea council and replaced them with three administrators who will govern for four years.

The next elections will not take place till October 2024. The last election, in October 2016, was a general election for the Whittlesea City Council conducted by the Victorian Electoral Commission.

Council is currently led by Chair Administrator Lydia Wilson, supported by Administrators Peita Duncan and Chris Eddy.

Previous mayors

There have been 21 mayors of Whittlesea since 1997. The mayor is elected yearly from amongst the elected councillors to serve as leader of the council.
