Passion can blind people to the truth according to the document. Passion is a strong feeling like love, anger, or sadness that can affect people for life based on past experiences. When passionate about something, people feel a need to defend it which can blind them to what is right. Common ways passion blinds people include being attracted to someone and believing what they say despite evidence against it. Passion can also lead to hatred, as demonstrated by how people grow to hate those who betray loves they once had. The document argues passion blinded Tupac Shakur and led to his death, and gives drug abuse and committing suicide due to a break up as other examples of how passion can blind.Ambiguous Loss Supporting families with missing loved ones

This document outlines the design of a digital literacy assessment instrument for in-service English teachers in Brazil. It aims to measure teachers' digital literacy levels across basic, intermediate, and advanced categories. The assessment will have two phases - a computer literacy test evaluating software and hardware skills, and a digital competence test measuring knowledge, attitudes, and skills across five areas (information, communication, content creation, safety, and problem-solving). The document provides details on the theoretical frameworks, test design, sample questions, and pilot testing process for refining the assessment. The goal is to identify teachers' digital literacy levels and inform further professional development.Marie-Laure Ryan, On the Worldness of Narrative Representation

The document summarizes Marie-Laure Ryan's theories about narrative representation and storyworlds. It discusses how storyworlds are imagined based on readers' real-world experiences but can differ through elements like contradictions. Storyworld properties include their size and completeness. Narratives like novels and plays create internally coherent worlds, but these worlds can be expanded or modified beyond the original text. The document also contrasts textualist approaches that view the text as about itself versus world approaches that see the text as a blueprint for imagining characters and events in a self-contained world.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is prevalent among military veterans who have witnessed severe stressors like combat.

Although some amount of glenohumeral motion may occur while the other shoulder articulations remain stabilized, movement of the humerus more commonly involves some movement at all three shoulder joints.

Local anesthetics are a cornerstone of pain management, but their use requires special consideration in vulnerable groups such as pediatric, elderly, diabetic, or obese patients. In this presentation, well explore how factors like age and physiology influence local anesthetics' selection, dosing, and safety. By understanding these differences, we can optimize patient care and minimize risks.

Creatines Untold Story and How 30-Year-Old Lessons Can Shape the FutureSteve Jennings
油
Creatine burst into the public consciousness in 1992 when an investigative reporter inside the Olympic Village in Barcelona caught wind of British athletes using a product called Ergomax C150. This led to an explosion of interest in and questions about the ingredient after high-profile British athletes won multiple gold medals.
I developed Ergomax C150, working closely with the late and great Dr. Roger Harris (1944 2024), and Prof. Erik Hultman (1925 2011), the pioneering scientists behind the landmark studies of creatine and athletic performance in the early 1990s.
Thirty years on, these are the slides I used at the Sports & Active Nutrition Summit 2025 to share the story, the lessons from that time, and how and why creatine will play a pivotal role in tomorrows high-growth active nutrition and healthspan categories.Cardiac Arrhythmias for paramedical students.
