Europe. 16 slots - 13 advanced

North America- 6 slots- 3 advanced

South America 6 slots- 5 advanced

Respect voor de spelers van het Iraanse elftal die zo dapper streden voor het geluk van het Iraanse volk!

Na de hartverscheurende gelijkmaker van Iran tegen Egypte vanochtend, waarbij het winnende doelpunt in de 93e minuut werd afgekeurd wegens buitenspel, was Man of the Match Ramin Rezaeian overmand door emotie en barstte hij in tranen uit voor de verzamelde journalisten. Hij sprak het Iraanse volk toe in een emotioneel interview:

“Wat kan ik zeggen? Ik weet niet waarom. Gewoon pech. Eén keer, twee keer, drie keer, vier keer, vijf keer. Wat hebben deze mensen gedaan om dit te verdienen? Ik weet het niet. Ik hoop alleen dat we kwalificeren en dat ons volk weer gelukkig kan zijn. Ons volk verdient zoveel meer dan dit.

We hebben alles gegeven wat we hadden. Het maakte niet uit of we vandaag op het veld zouden sterven of wat er ook met ons gebeurde, het enige wat we wilden was ons volk blij maken. Bijna drie maanden lang hebben we gevochten zonder iets terug te verwachten. Wij spelers hebben nooit iets van iemand gevraagd. Elke speler in dit team is eervol, vol karakter en integriteit. Ze vochten, renden en pushten zichzelf alleen uit liefde voor het volk en om vreugde in hun harten te brengen. Ik weet niet waarom het niet gebeurt.

Volk van Iran, we houden zo veel van jullie. Vergeef ons. Dat is het enige wat ik kan zeggen, vergeef ons.
Jullie verdienen het allerbeste. Ik hoop dat jullie krijgen wat jullie toekomt, en ik hoop dat we ons kwalificeren, zodat we jullie, al is het maar een klein beetje, een beetje geluk kunnen brengen. Wij zijn jullie zeer dankbaar en toegewijd.” #IranMassacre‌ #WomanLifeFreedom

A Japanese immunologist spent 20 years proving that the chemicals trees release into the air walk into your bloodstream, hunt down your stress hormones, and arm your immune system in ways no therapist or pharmaceutical has ever matched, and most of the data has been sitting in Japanese medical journals for two decades waiting to be translated.

His name is Qing Li.

He is a clinical professor at Nippon Medical School in Tokyo and the president of the Japanese Society of Forest Medicine. The Japanese government has been funding his research since 2004, and the body of work he has produced is the reason forest bathing is now an officially prescribed clinical therapy in Japan and Korea.

The story actually starts in 1982, when the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries coined the term shinrin-yoku to describe the practice of slow, mindful walking in a forest. They did it for a practical reason.

Japan was urbanizing fast, stress-related illness was climbing, and the country had thousands of square kilometers of forest sitting unused. The idea was to give people a reason to walk into the trees... They had no idea what was actually happening to the human body during those walks until Qing Li ran the first proper experiment in 2005.

He took twelve healthy adult men on a three-day, two-night trip to a forest park. They walked for a few hours each day. Nothing strenuous. No prescribed routes or breathing exercises. They simply walked slowly through the trees, breathing the air, looking at the forest.

Li drew blood and urine samples before the trip, on the second day, on the third day, on day seven after returning home, and again on day thirty.

The numbers that came back from the lab were not what anyone expected.

The activity of a specific type of immune cell called the natural killer cell, which is the cell your body uses to hunt down cancer cells and virus-infected cells before they can spread, had jumped by roughly 50 percent during the forest trip. The actual number of natural killer cells circulating in the bloodstream had increased significantly.

Three different anti-cancer proteins that those cells produce, called perforin, granzymes, and granulysin, had all risen sharply. And the effect did not disappear when the men went home. The immune boost was still measurable on day seven and was still partially present on day thirty.

Two hours a day in a forest had upgraded the immune system for a full month.

Li ran the same experiment with women a year later and found nearly identical results. Then he ran it with a control group who took a three-day trip through an urban area with the same amount of walking, the same hotel quality, and the same diet.

The urban group showed no measurable change in natural killer cell activity at all. The forest was doing the work, not the vacation.

The mechanism turned out to be a class of airborne molecules called phytoncides. Trees produce these compounds to defend themselves against insects, bacteria, and fungi. Pine, cedar, oak, and cypress trees release them in particularly large amounts, especially in warmer weather and after rainfall.

When you walk through a forest, you are inhaling those molecules into your lungs and absorbing them through your skin, and once inside your body they appear to directly stimulate the production and activity of the very immune cells Li was measuring in his lab.

Roughly 50 percent of the health benefit of a forest walk, according to Li's data, comes from the chemistry of the air itself. The other half comes from what the forest is doing to your nervous system.

This is where it stops being only about the immune system and starts being about stress.

A separate Japanese research team measured cortisol, the body's main stress hormone, in 84 participants across 35 different forest sites. They drew samples before and after a 30-minute walk in each forest and compared them to control walks in matched urban environments. The cortisol levels of the people who walked in the forest were lower than the cortisol levels of the people who walked in the city by a significant margin. Their heart rates were lower. Their blood pressure was lower.

The activity of their parasympathetic nervous system, which is the part responsible for rest and recovery, had gone up. The activity of their sympathetic nervous system, which is the part that drives fight or flight, had gone down.

Then a researcher at the University of Michigan named MaryCarol Hunter ran the cleanest version of this experiment ever done. She recruited participants from a city and told them to take a nature pill three times a week for eight weeks.

They were free to choose the time, the place, and the duration of the nature experience, as long as it was outside, in daylight, and free of phones, conversations, and aerobic exercise. They sent her saliva samples before and after each session so she could measure cortisol changes accurately and rule out the normal daily drop in stress hormones that happens to everyone.

The result was that participants experienced a 21.3 percent drop in cortisol per hour spent in nature, with the biggest payoff happening between minutes 20 and 30 of the walk.

After that, the cortisol kept dropping, but more slowly. The threshold dose for measurable stress relief was just 20 minutes outside in something that looked and felt like nature.

What none of this means is that nature is a substitute for therapy or for medication when someone genuinely needs them. Therapy treats different things than a walk does, and Li himself has been careful in interviews to call forest bathing a complementary intervention rather than a replacement for clinical care.

But what the research has settled is that the human body has a physiological response to being among trees that operates on the same biological systems modern medicine is trying to reach with drugs and clinical protocols, and that response is fast, measurable, and free.

The strangest part of Li's work is the implication he keeps repeating in interviews. The average person now spends more than 90 percent of their life indoors. Their cortisol stays elevated. Their natural killer cells stay sluggish.

Their parasympathetic nervous system rarely gets a chance to take over. The system that was tuned by millions of years of life under a canopy of trees is being asked to run permanently inside a box made of drywall and screens.

Your body has not forgotten what it is supposed to do in a forest. It is waiting for you to walk into one.

Alafu wazazi, hizi birthdays huwa mnaleta shule nataka mniskize na mniskize vizuri.

Birthday sio mbaya. Sina shida na cake, balloons ama mtoto kufurahia siku yake. Lakini kabla ugeuze classroom ikae venue ya ruracio, kuna vitu nataka ujue.

Administration hawaezi kataa juu wanataka clients wao wakue happy. Lakini sisi ndio tuko ground. Sisi ndio tunabaki na consequences.

Kwanza, birthday ya mtoto mmoja huleta excitement kwa dakika 20 na drama ya wiki mbili.

Mtoto mmoja akiletewa cake, kesho mwingine anauliza mbona yeye hajawai letewa. Mwingine anarudi home akiwa convinced wazazi wake hawampendi. Sasa mwalimu anajipata akifundisha Mathematics na family therapy wakati mmoja.

Halafu kuna hii tabia ya kuleta cake ya watoto 8 kwa class ya watoto 47.

Unataka tugawanye aje? Hii ni classroom ama miracle crusade?

Na tafadhali msilete balloons 30 kwa class halafu mnataka learning iendelee normally.

Ukiona watoto wakitazama ceiling kama wameona UFO, ujue lesson imeisha rasmi.

Alafu kuna wale wazazi wanafika na photographer, videographer, ring light na confidence ya mtu anazindua bypass.

Brother, ni Grade 2 birthday. Sio uchaguzi mdogo.
Na ukweli wenye hakuna mtu anasema...
Shule si birthday venue.

Shule ilijengwa watoto wajifunze. Birthday ni bonus, sio programme ya siku.

Mkitaka kufanya party kubwa, fanyeni nyumbani, church, hotel ama kwa shamba ya babu.

Juu mwisho wa siku, birthday inaisha saa tano.
Lakini syllabus bado iko hapa ikitusubiri kama deni ya Fuliza.

Sincerely,
Mwalimu ambaye alikuja kufunza fractions lakini akaishia kukata tukwota twingi twa cake sio poa. 📷
Kama ukona maoni tofauti yaletee
