00:00The man was beaten and stabbed by a judge in the middle of a court proceeding in Nevada, America.
00:12The man was sentenced to four years in prison for a felony battery case.
00:20It happened in January.
00:21This Tuesday, he was sentenced to 26 to 65 years imprisonment for assault.
00:28The suspect said he had no intention of killing the judge.
00:32According to his lawyer, based on local media reports,
00:35the man did not take any medication for his condition of schizophrenia.
00:42Christmas is said to be the most wonderful time of the year.
00:45But it's also the deadliest time of the year
00:48because of studies that show that stroke and heart attack cases are on the rise during this time.
00:54Let's take a look at the so-called holiday effect in the FitTrack report of Danutin Cungco.
01:04While Christmas break or vacation is coming,
01:07the social calendar of many people is busy and busy.
01:11Workout and jetta are also included during vacation.
01:14But doctors are careful not to be a killjoy.
01:18They are careful in drinking and preparing.
01:21During the holiday season, stroke and heart attack cases are on the rise.
01:26The number of people who suffer from stroke, heart attack cases,
01:31and other heart problems increases from the last day of December to the beginning of January.
01:36It's very exponential at this point.
01:39You can actually see a very linear surge of stroke patients by January or even at the end of December.
01:47They're usually the ones with other risk factors.
01:50Increased alcohol consumption, increased stress.
01:53It could have triggered the problem.
01:55It could have made the condition worse.
01:57According to a study in Norway,
01:59Christmas is the deadliest time of the year.
02:04In studies in Australia and Taiwan,
02:07the chance of a person dying from stroke and hospitalization during Christmas is higher.
02:14This is called the holiday effect.
02:16This is also one of the reasons.
02:18During the holidays, there is lack of manpower in the hospital because of the holiday season.
02:24Some of the hospitals, some services are not readily available as it should be on a regular basis.
02:30This is the holiday effect.
02:32The risk of stroke is also higher in the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions.
02:37Then, there's an excess of parties and drinking during the holiday season.
02:41We're seeing actually a surge in cholesterol, BP because of the lack of exercise and bad diet.
03:05You can do basic weightlifting at home.
03:07You can use bottled water instead of using bands.
03:11Use bodyweight exercises.
03:13Bodyweight exercises or weightlifting can actually lower down your blood sugar.
03:17You can take a jog outside of your house or you have a treadmill or bicycle at home.
03:23You can actually do some cardio at home.
03:25It will lower down your blood pressure.
03:27You just need 30 minutes of exercise 3 to 4 times a week and that is more than enough
03:32to lower down the risk for heart problem, cardiovascular events, and stroke.

03:47Kagwa Volcano brought a literal peak adventure to Cagayan where you can trek to the top of the volcano.
03:55Let's go to Oscar Oida's report.
04:03An active volcano and a fire mountain in the Philippines.
04:08But instead of being scary, the Kagwa Volcano is an attraction in Gunzaga, Cagayan.
04:15Its sulfuric crater is the end goal of those who climb the mountain.
04:21Feel the heat of the volcano.
04:24I've been waiting for this for a long time.
04:29It's peaceful in Tuk-Tuk but before you reach it,
04:32you will have to go through the difficult but exciting trail that goes through the forest and river for 6 to 8 hours.
04:41The trail is already established.
04:42There were sightings of, if I'm not mistaken, monkeys and such.
04:46But in my experience, I only experienced birds.
04:51We noticed some birds.
04:53There are also tour guides to make sure it's safe.
04:57You can camp around the mountain.
05:00It's perfect for geology enthusiasts.
05:03Just check that your body is in good condition.
05:07Bring enough water, food, and if possible, bring protective gear and mask.
05:14The Kagwa Volcano is also considered sacred by the locals.
05:18You need to study it.
05:20We need to respect the mountain.
05:22We need to listen to the tourism office and our tour guides.
05:25Enjoy the trail and make memories.
