This article discusses the hierarchy of needs, including how a person progresses through the hierarchy, and criticisms of Maslow’s theory. The Hierarchy of Needs Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is often represented as a pyramid, with more basic needs on the bottom (physiological needs) and higher needs (self-actualization) on the top. Maslow believed that a person’s basic needs must be met before higher needs can be addressed. The first four levels of needs in the pyramid are sometimes called “deficiency needs....

Despite the dip in the inflation rate, prices are still increasing in the food and shelter categories. “Food at home” was up 13.1 percent year-over-year, following July’s reading of 12.2 percent. Consequently, some southern Californians are driving 20 minutes every day from San Diego to the San Ysidro border, leading to Tijuana in an effort to opt for cheaper grocery items, News Nation reported on Thursday. “If you are on a budget, you gotta take care of yourself,” said David McCarty, who lives in Chula Vista, California, according to the news outlet....

The letter, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, was released Tuesday and featured the signatures of a number of well-respected directors of photography. “We are Halyna Hutchins’ fellow directors of photography and we vow to not let her death be in vain,” the letter wrote. “We are calling for immediate action from our union leadership, our producers and our lawmakers to affect unified change on our behalf: BAN all FUNCTIONAL FIREARMS on set....

It’s not always this dangerous to be openly gay in high school. In fact, it may never have been easier. Gay-Straight Alliances have been a major factor in helping teenagers create openly gay lives. First established in 1988, GSAs were designed as both support groups for gay students and–with the help of the sympathetic straight students–a bulwark against homophobia. The Gay, Lesbian, Straight Teacher Network estimates there are about 700 GSAs nationwide, most of which were formed–peacefully–in the wake of the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard....

Now the coach is facing formal accusations of bullying. MORE: Memorable ‘coaches behaving badly’ moments The impressive victory for undefeated Aledo High School, a football powerhouse in suburban Fort Worth that has put up similar numbers against other schools, has forced an investigation after a parent from the opposing team filed a bullying complaint. The complaint, which must be investigated under state law, says Buchanan should have done more to prevent the lopsided score....

The incident took place near the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 4, with the Atlanta Police Department (APD) saying that the suspect had refused to stop during a traffic stop. The images, filmed by a chopper from the APD’s Phoenix Air Unit, which provided air support to Georgia State Police (GSP) officers on the ground, shows the suspect going through red lights and weaving in and out of traffic with multiple police cars hot on his tail....

A press release from the USDA said that samples from the flock were taken and tested at Cornell University Animal Health Diagnostic Center, part of the National Animal Health Laboratory Network, which found traces of the virus. The property in question has been quarantined and the birds have been euthanized to prevent the spread of the disease, the USDA revealed on Saturday. The case is the latest in a series of outbreaks of avian flu in the United States....

The Frenchman joined Chelsea for £18 million from Arsenal in January and failed to score in his first couple of appearances against Watford and West Brom in the Premier league. But he ended that wait at Stamford Bridge, stabbing home from close range after good play by fellow new arrival Emerson Palmieri, completing the scoring just before half-time in an easy win that books the Blues’ place in the quarter-finals....

Ozil: I still want Wilshere’s No.10 shirt The France striker made headlines with a sublime scorpion kick that gave Arsenal the lead in their 2-0 Premier League win on New Year’s Day. But Koscielny believes his compatriot would struggle to re-create the goal on the training pitch. “Oli’s goal was very lucky,” Koscielny told the club’s official website. “He can try that 10 times but I am not sure he would score it 10 times....

“He’s joking,” interjected Giuliani’s lawyer, Robert Costello, who was also on the call. When Giuliani was asked a question about whether he was nervous Trump might “throw him under a bus” during the impeachment process, he responded with “I’m not, but I do have very, very good insurance, so if he does, all my hospital bills will be paid,” reports The Guardian. Giuliani laughed slightly as though it was a joke but he has been central in the impeachment proceedings, which question whether the president tried to pressure the Ukrainian government into investigating former Vice President, Joe Biden....

If Mngoma lived in the United States and had health insurance, she might be taking a complex drug cocktail that could prolong her life indefinitely. But in most of the world, the combination of AIDS and poverty almost always leads to death. Ninety percent of the world’s 33 million HIV/AIDS cases are in Africa, Latin America and Asia. The vast majority of the infected people in those areas are too poor to afford the costly miracle drugs that can make AIDS a chronic disease rather than a death sentence....

The glenoid is covered by articular cartilage (the smooth lining of joints) and sticks out toward your arm from the outer edge of the scapula. The glenoid socket is almost flat, which makes it quite shallow when compared to the hip joint’s socket. To make it a little deeper, another type of cartilage called the shoulder labrum surrounds the glenoid. When there’s a problem with the labrum, the shoulder is prone to episodes of shoulder instability, such as dislocation....

Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) was dealt a hammer blow in the bid to top Group F of the 2017 AFC Cup after a 3-2 defeat away to Global in a match played on Wednesday night at the Rizal Memorial Stadium. Three goals scored in a 8-minute period enabled Global to surge to the top of the group, two points ahead of JDT. Benjamin Mora shifted his side around on the back of that 3-1 reverse suffered at the hands of Pahang in the FA Cup - bringing in Aidil Zafuan, Azamuddin Akil and Amirulhadi Zainal....

ExxonMobil is the latest, announcing Tuesday it will exit Russia oil and gas operations and halt new investment, Reuters reported, effectively ending its decades-long involvement with Russia. The decision followed similar announcements from both BP and Shell, indicating these international energy giants no longer see Russia as a secure investment. “We deplore Russia’s military action that violates the territorial integrity of Ukraine and endangers its people,” ExxonMobil said in a statement Tuesday....

For the moment, Arroyo is beloved. Practically everyone in the country is united behind her. Last week bankers toasted her with champagne. Generals escorted her to speeches. Professors and labor leaders ate breakfast with her. The stock index surged 30 percent and even the beleaguered peso gained some strength. “We have a chance to renew our values as a people,” said Dan Songco, the Manila-based leader of several nongovernmental organizations....

Elisabeth (1837–1898), who was also Queen of Hungary by marriage, was killed on Sept. 10, 1898, in Geneva by Italian anarchist Luigi Lucheni, 25, who stabbed her with a sharpened needle while pretending to stumble past her. The empress had been wearing black silk gloves, the right-hand one of which was auctioned in Munich, Germany, Nov. 22-26. “Empress Elisabeth of Austria adorned herself with the finest jewelry and the finest clothes,” the auction house said in a statement....

Glucosamine as a Dietary Supplement Glucosamine is available to purchase by itself, in combination with chondroitin sulfate, or in combination with several other compounds as a nutritional supplement. Glucosamine is sometimes used for the treatment of osteoarthritis, among other conditions, although some research suggests it may be beneficial, clinical trials have not categorically proven these supplements to be beneficial for the joints. Based on results in what is known as the GAIT trial, the American College of Rheumatology recommends against the use of glucosamine to treat osteoarthritis....

Though GAGs are best known for increasing hydration of the skin, they are also essential in keeping epidermal and dermal cells healthy and keeping collagen and elastin in good condition. For these reasons, they are an incredibly popular ingredient in skincare products. In addition to keeping skin youthful-appearing and healthy, glycosaminoglycans are used in the body as a lubricant for joints, for supporting connective tissues such as cartilage and tendons, and may even help assist with weight loss....
