EXTENSION1-No One Seems to Care how Dangerous CrossFit Is

Carolyn Nagler has witnessed a lot of accidents in her year attending CrossFit classes. Her own most painful experience happened six months after first wandering into a class, when she cut her legs in missing her target during a “box jump”. Still, that hasn’t stopped the 45-year-old from returning to her local gym in Astoria, Queens, up to five times a week. “I was bleeding all over, but I got up and kept going,” she says. “If I hadn’t, I would never be able to do a box jump now.”
New Yorkers are always seeking new, extreme methods for staying fit, and high-intensity interval-training (HIIT) workouts such as those at CrossFit — in which participants complete physically demanding repetitions— have unique appeal to New Yorkers’ need for both competition and novelty. With these extreme workouts, however, come injuries. “I do think there is a sort of race between gyms to find the next new thing,” says Jordan Metzl, a specialist sports doctor who also teaches an HIIT class. He says he’s seen a 30 percent increase in HIIT- related injuries at the hospital over the past two years. “It can kill you,” CrossFit co-founder Greg Glassman even told the New York Times in 2005. “I’ve always been completely honest about that.”
Noel Lozares, an orthopedic and sports physical therapist who often works with Olympic athletes, says it’s easy for workout enthusiasts to get carried away. He recommends that people interested in HIIT should already be active — whether it’s running, yoga or pilates — three days a week. “You always want to consult the instructor,” he says. “So many people who have never done any kind of exercise before get into these classes, and that’s when injuries happen.”
The most common athletic ailments include muscle strains, particularly in the lower back; knee and shoulder injuries; and tendon issues. Still, doctors believe strength training is an important part of any athlete’s workouts — and can make other kinds of exercise, like running, easier and more productive. Before a session, Metzl recommends doing what he calls a “dynamic warm-up” to get muscles and joints moving. Another important part of staying fit and healthy is allowing the body time to recover, says Lozares. “I am working with athletes who are members of the US Olympic team — none of them do HIIT every day.”

WEEK3: Car safety-Integrated skills

  • Tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS)
  • Intelligent speed assistance (ISA)
  • Drowsiness and attention detection systems
  • Speed limit information (SLI)
  • Lane keeping assistance (LKA) and Lane departure warning (LDW)
  • Autonomous emergency braking (AEB)
  • Electronic stability control (ESC)
  • Anti-lock braking systems (ABS)
https://roadsafetyfacts.eu/active-safety-systems-what-are-they-and-how-do-they-work/


All new cars in the EU could have speed limiters and breathalyzers as of 2022

The European Union has agreed on new rules stating that all cars built after May 2022 and sold in the European Union will have built-in speed limiters, as well as breathalyzers that won't allow driving if the driver is intoxicated. The European Parliament is expected to ratify the new regulations in September. The UK, which may not be part of the European Union by then, will nevertheless adopt the new rules as well. 
     
The list of new mandatory safety features for cars is actually much longer, and includes some increasingly common features like lane-keeping assistance, advanced emergency braking, a built-in data recorder, drowsiness and distraction monitoring, and camera/sensors help when reversing. 
      
"With the new advanced safety features that will become mandatory, we can have the same kind of impact as when the safety belts were first introduced. Many of the new features already exist, in particular in high–end vehicles. Now we raise the safety level across the board, and pave the way for connected and automated mobility of the future. But the features that will likely get the most attention are "alcohol interlock installation facilitation" and "intelligent speed assistance." The former typically requires the driver to blow into an in-car breathalyzer before starting the car. If the driver's alcohol level is too high, the car simply won't start. The details of the system that will be mandatory in EU cars are scarce at this point. The latter feature uses GPS as well as a built-in sign recognition system to detect if the car is going over the speed limit. Then the system will warn the driver and automatically slow down the car. However, the driver will be able to override this by pushing on the accelerator pedal.

VOCABULARY WORKSHEETS:

WEEK1: Pandemic & St. Patrick

Happy St. Patrick´s Day

Who Is St. Patrick?
St. Patrick is the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. He was born in the fourth century and is famous for bringing Christianity into Ireland. St. Patrick’s Day is a very well known Irish national holiday, which is celebrated not only in Ireland but all around the world. It falls on the 17th of March.

History of St. Patrick
St. Patrick was born to wealthy parents in the late fourth century. Until the age of 16 years old, he thought of himself as a pagan. He was kidnapped and sold as a slave at this age by Irish marauders. It was during this capture that he turned to God. He managed to escape after being a slave for six years and then studied in a monastery in Gaul for 12 years. This was when he knew that his ‘calling’ was to
try and convert all the pagans in Ireland into Christianity. St. Patrick went from monastery to monastery, successfully converting people to Christianity. The Celtic Druids were very unhappy with him and tried to arrest him several times but he always managed to escape. After 30 years of being a missionary in Ireland, he finally settled down in a place called County Down. He died on the 17th of March, AD 461.

Legend and Folklore
Shamrocks, leprechauns and the blarney stone are associated with St. Patrick’s Day. Shamrocks are threeleaved clovers found growing in patches on grass. You are thought to be lucky if you find a four-leaved clover, so do keep it if you ever come across one!
Leprechauns are little Irish fairies, and they are thought to work as shoe-makers for other fairies. The Irish say that if a leprechaun is caught by a human, he will reveal where he hides his pot of gold. On this day, pictures of shamrocks and leprechauns are hung everywhere. Some people even dress up as leprechauns complete with their big green hats!
The village of Blarney is situated northwest of the Irish village of Cork. Blarney comes from the Irish word ‘An blarna’, meaning the plain. Blarney Castle is a very famous castle in this village and is 90 feet tall. The world famous Blarney Stone is on the top story. It is said that if one kisses this stone, one will be given the gift of eloquence, meaning to have beautiful speaking abilities. Nowadays, the word blarney means the ability to influence and coax with fair words and soft speech without offending.
Legend also says that St. Patrick could raise people from the dead. He is well-known for driving the snakes out of Ireland, although many people dispute how true this is! Another great story was how he used the shamrock, with its three leaves, to explain the Holy Trinity (the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost) to his followers.

What Do People Do on St. Patrick’s Day?
St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated world-wide with people dancing and singing in Irish pubs, watching St. Patrick’s Day parade, drinking ‘green’ beer, wearing green clothes and just generally having a good time. Children in Ireland have a tradition of pinching their friends who don’t wear green on this day!

Traditional Food and Drink on St. Patrick’s Day
Corned beef and cabbage is what most people have on this day. Another popular dish is Irish soda bread and potato pancakes. Irish pub owners go crazy on this day, putting green food colouring into their beers and traditional Irish Guinness Stout is a sell out in all Irish pubs! People also drink lots of Irish coffee, which is made with warm whiskey, sugar, coffee and topped off with whipped cream.
Sounds delicious? It is!

Irish Proverbs
The Irish have many proverbs but here are some favourites.
Better the coldness of a friend than the sweetness of an enemy.
Be nice to them on the way up. You might meet them all on the way down.
Let your anger set with the sun and not rise again with it.

Irish Humour
The Irish are famous for their jokes and good nature. Here’s an example: Definition of an Irish husband: He hasn’t kissed his wife in 20 years but he will kill any man who does!
Now that you know almost everything about St. Patrick’s Day, go out on March the 17th and enjoy yourselves! Why not try and spot a leprechaun or two to find your pot of gold…?

Whatever it may be, don’t forget to wear green on this special day!

THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON
SCOTT FITZGERALD.
Button came into the world in far 1860, it was the last day of the War. He looked like an old, little man. His father was upset and wanted to kill him, but then he exposed him to the hospitage. People around thought that this man was born for suffering, but he had become one of the happiest people in the world. The nature’s anomaly had born him and given the great opportunity – Conversely live. He wasn't getting older like everybody, he was becoming younger the whole his life. He had a hard way, full of sense, friendship, and good people. And the most important – by love. Our hero got acquainted with the world around through communication with old people that’s why he avoided mistakes, which usual people always make.
