        Impact of Climate Change on Firefighting Extends Beyond Wildfires

 

    Global warming is often mentioned as a factor in the accelerating frequency and intensity of wildfires. However, there are other consequences of global warming that impact the fire service, including new hazards and medical emergencies, emerging training challenges, population migration, and technology developments.

    Climate change is often discussed as a future event. However, the impact of wildfires is just the most obvious example of how climate change is already impacting the world, and fire and emergency personnel will be called on to mitigate the effects.

    The most obvious and extreme impact of global warming can be seen in the increase of frequency and intensity of wildfires. Hotter and drier weather is extending the wildfire season (maybe to become year-round?). Higher temperatures, low humidity, less rainfall, and high wind increase the likelihood of wildfires.

Dance The Night
Dua Lipa

 

Baby, you can find me under the lights
Diamonds under my eyes
Turn the rhythm up, don't you wanna just
Come along for the ride?
Ooh, my outfit so tight
You can see my heartbeat tonight
I can take the heat, baby, best believe
That's the moment I shine

 

Cause every romance shakes and it bends
Don't give a damn
When the night's here, I don't do tears
Baby, no chance
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance

 

Watch me dance, dance the night away
My heart could be burning, but you won't see it on my
face
Watch me dance, dance the night away
I still keep the party running, not one hair out of place

 

Lately, I've been moving close to the edge
Still be looking my best
I stay on the beat, you can count on me
I ain't missing no steps

 

Cause every romance shakes and it bends
Don't give a damn
When the night's here, I don't do tears
Baby, no chance
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance

 

Watch me dance, dance the night away
My heart could be burning, but you won't see it on my
face
Watch me dance (dance), dance the night away
(uh-huh)
I still keep the party running, not one hair out of place
When my heart breaks (they'll never see it, never see
it)
When my world shakes (I feel alive, I feel alive)
I don't play it safe (ooh)

 

Don't you know about me? (uh-huh)
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance

 

Even when the tears are flowing like
diamonds on my face
I still keep the party going, not one hair out
of place (yes, I can)
Even when the tears are flowing like
diamonds on my face (yes, I can, yes, I can)
I still keep the party going, not one hair out of place

 

Watch me dance, dance the night away (uh-huh)
My heart could be burning, but you won't see it on
my face
Watch me (dance) dance, dance the night away
(uh-huh)
I still keep the party running, not one hair out of
place

 

When my heart breaks (they'll never see it, never
see it)
When my world shakes (I feel alive, I feel alive)
I don't play it safe (ooh)
Don't you know about me? (uh-huh)
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance

Ozempic for weight loss: Does it work, and what do experts recommend?

    About 42% of American adults are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). For years, people have been trying all sorts of methods and medications in search of the perfect weight loss solution.

    A new trend has been getting a lot of attention: people using the diabetes drug Ozempic for weight loss. Ozempic, known generically as semaglutide, was approved in 2017 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is a weekly injection that helps lower blood sugar by helping the pancreas make more insulin.

    Despite its true purpose, some physicians prescribe it to be used for weight loss. It works by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone. As those hormone levels rise, the molecules go to your brain, telling it you're full. It also slows digestion by increasing the time it takes for food to leave the body. This is similar to the effect of bariatric surgery. When using Ozempic to treat diabetes, weight loss is a common side effect. It is designed to be taken long-term.

    Semaglutide, however, is approved for weight loss under the name Wegovy, since Ozempic has a smaller dose of semaglutide than Wegovy. Research has shown that if you stop taking Ozempic (or Wegovy), it’s likely that you will gain back the weight you lost. When people use Ozempic off-label for weight loss, type 2 diabetes patients who rely on Ozempic may struggle to find this medication.
