Concussion recognition and treatment has gotten a lot of attention over the last decade, mostly in the context of youth and professional sports such as tackle football and soccer. It’s even a topic for those who serve in our armed forces. However, confusion over its prevention, diagnosis, and treatment remains widespread.

In an interview with a reporter from the Chicago Sun Times, former National Football League quarterback Brett Favre, who was knocked out cold only once in his 20-year career, claimed that “probably 90 percent” of the tackles he endured left him with a concussion.

He’s most likely correct in that estimation. After all, the definition of “concussion” is broad: “A concussion is a brain injury, a disturbance in brain function induced by traumatic forces, either from a direct blow to the head or a transmitted force from a blow to the body.” It disrupts brain function at the cellular

Anon’s latest goggles not only have the brand’s high-contrast lens technology and magnetic interchange system, but also a slimmer, women’s-specific fit — and a ton of lens options.

I am someone with not-perfect vision, and a job that puts me at risk for lots of eye strain (staring at a computer). I also read a lot. For me, maintaining healthy vision is pretty important, and when it comes to skiing or snowboarding, it is even more so.

I can think back to a decade ago when I was caught in a whiteout storm and didn’t have the right lenses (or maybe, just not good ones). And let me tell you, skiing is much less fun when you can’t see.

Having the right lenses, an anti-fog coating, proper UV protection, polarization, and a prescription

One aspect of entertaining you may love is cooking for your guests. While your kitchen may be suitable for some parties, an extensive guest list or excellent weather can entice you to move the party outdoors.

Consider a fully stocked outdoor kitchen’s benefits instead of relying on a grill and folding table.

Less Moving In and Out of the Home

Using your kitchen to prepare meals and serving it outside can bring bugs inside. It can also affect your guest’s access to food since some dishes may be split between the two areas.

An outdoor kitchen with all the accommodations you want can make it easy to prepare and serve food in the same area.

Make an Ideal Setting for Parties

Your family might enjoy your kitchen, but it may not have the same accommodation for entertaining guests. Not only could the seating be limited indoors, but you may prefer

Before you begin construction on your pool, there are some very important things to consider. This ensures a successful pool installation, as well as future care of your pool. Here are three things to consider before building your pool.

The Cost Of Building Your Pool

One of the first things to consider is the cost of building your pool. This is the biggest step to beginning construction on your pool, and you need to know exactly how much you need to set aside so that you can begin the project. Plan out everything from pool design, additional features, landscaping, etc., so that all of this is covered under your budget. This also allows you to give your contactor an accurate number to work with when designing your pool.

Pool Maintenance Costs

Another thing to consider is how much it costs to actually maintain a pool. This is important because this

When designing pool shapes, there are several things to consider: maintenance and cleaning, sunlight exposure, construction and labor, and aesthetics. While a free-form shaped pool will make your backyard stand out from others, sometimes a rectangular shaped pool provides many benefits that you aren’t even aware of.

Here are the main differences between rectangular and free-form shaped pools that will help you choose the right pool for your backyard.

Rectangular Pools

Pros:

• More common than free-form pools.
• Rectangular pools cost less to install than free-form pools.

Cons:

• Rectangular pools are not as natural-looking as free-form pools.
• Rectangular pools can look smaller than they are because of their shape.

Large rectangular pools are often used for lap swimming, while smaller ones can be used for family recreation or just lounging in a beautiful backyard. These pools are typically larger than their free-form counterparts, which means you’ll need a bigger backyard to

There’s a new shoe brand in town! Hilma aims to revolutionize running shoes with its new fit technology.

Yesterday, a new brand called Hilma launched its first women’s running shoe using “mass personalization.” The brand was inspired by the notion that bras shouldn’t be one size fits all — and neither should running shoes.

Ultramarathon runner Brooke Torres founded Hilma, a women-focused brand, in 2019. At ultramarathon distances, Torres found the basic approach of other running shoes was not good enough. And it didn’t take her long to do something about it.

Her new brand is backed by some of the biggest performance brands in athletic footwear, including Jeanne Jackson, former president of Nike, and Jason Jacobs, founder and former CEO of RunKeeper.

And while Hilma is using mass personalization to
