For the first time, the World Health Organization (WHO) has included Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in its globally influential medical collections, according to an international science journal.

An article published by Nature on Wednesday said that TCM would be included in the latest International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Starting from the 1800s, the ICD has been improved and published in a series of editions, reflecting the progress in health and medical science over time. It serves as the foundation for the identification of global health trends, and the international standard for diseases and health conditions.

The latest ICD is based largely on the work of the International Classification of Traditional Medicine (ICTM) project’s experts from around the world. These experts had been working on traditional medicine research for years.

China has been promoting the modernization of TCM and pushing TCM to gain acceptance worldwide. Tu Youyou, a Chinese expert focusing on the scientific study of drugs and medicines, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2015 for her research in TCM. Her discovery has saved millions of lives in developing countries in South Asia, Africa and South America. TCM is sure to grow in popularity globally.

Though the application of TCM and other traditional medical practices has been on the rise, there’s still a shortage of global terminology(术语) tools for traditional medicine, according to officials of the WHO.

“The decision is to push the safe and effective use of traditional medicine by regulating, researching and combining traditional medicine products, practitioners and practices into health systems,” the WHO was quoted as saying by Nature.

Thousands of encouraging roadside signs have been planted around the world, and it’s all thanks to one woman who felt helpless in the face of mental illness.

Amy Wolff was first encouraged to start planting the encouraging signs after she had a heartbreaking discussion with a friend in May 2017. “We were hanging out with friends when one of them mentioned the growing number of people trying to kill themselves in our community,” says Wolff. “I wasn’t a doctor. I didn’t know of anyone suffering from thoughts of self-harm. What could I do?”

Then Wolff got the idea to start planting encouraging signs in people’s yards. For the following two weeks, she and her kids started knocking on people’s doors across their town of Newburg, Oregon and asking if they could put up signs with messages like “Don’t Give Up” and “Your Mistakes Don’t Define You”.

Wolff then started receiving messages from other people in the community wanting to buy the signs. Within a few days, Wolff had sold over 150 of the yard signs. That night, Wolff’s husband created a website to sell the signs.

“Within a year, we had news media in Dallas, Boston, Massachusetts, and Portland cover our movement,” she added. By the fall of 2018, Wolff set up the Don’t Give Up organization for her signs. Since she planted her first sign two years ago, she has shipped the organizations messages of encouragement to all 50 US states and 26 countries in 6 languages.

With May being Mental Health Awareness Month, the messages that Wolff has received from sign owners are meaningful. One message from Frank reads: “I just had a woman knock on my door. She began to cry and thank me for the signs in my yard. Her son had tried to kill himself and these signs were in the yard the day they came home from the hospital.”

Outdoor cameras are the modern version of hiring a guard for your home. Below is a list of some quality outdoor security cameras available in the market.

Ring Floodlight Camera

The camera itself records in HD and you have plenty of support via the app. Through the app, you can talk to people through the camera.

The camera itself has no night vision. This is a problem in the event that the bulbs(电灯泡)burn out, which will happen eventually.

Campark Camera

Since this outdoor security camera is built for hunting, it is wireless and completely waterproof(防水的). Furthermore, its sensors are sharp and will naturally have night vision.

That said, there are a few downsides. Because of the higher sensitivity, this camera takes a lot of unnecessary pictures and videos. Furthermore, you'll need to supply an SD card to store videos and pictures.

Zumimall Camera

The security camera itself is 100% wireless, connects through Wi-Fi, and is battery-operated. It also has night vision and handles cold, heat, and rain very well.

The only point of criticism is the storage. The cloud storage offered is limited. For free, you can store your videos and pictures for up to seven days before the old pictures and videos are replaced.

ZOSI Security Camera System

It's a system including several security cameras, which pack a lot of qualities. They offer 80 feet of night vision, are weatherproof, and raise the alarm when they spot motion, etc.
