TRIVIA QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Congratulations toBernice Coleman, Katrina Snider, Barbara Cole, Patsy Ray, Lauro Esquliona III, Karen Frantz-Fry, Saisha Khanna, Ellen Kay, Wendy Schilling, Robin Martin, and Nikita McFarland who all knew the answer to last week's trivia question:
The first person with a double above-the-knee amputation to climb this mountain recently returned pledging to dedicate the rest of his life to helping people with disabilities. Hari Budha Magar, a former Gurkha soldier who lives in Britain, reached the peak of this mountain stating, “My main aim for the rest of my lifetime is going to be working to bring awareness about disability”. As a soldier in a Gurkha regiment in the British army, Magar lost both his legs in Afghanistan when he accidently stepped on an improvised explosive device in 2010. What mountain did Hari Budha reach the peak of as the first person with a double above-the-knee amputation?
Answer: MOUNT EVEREST
This week's trivia question:
According to the latest research in the field, growing up with this undiagnosed disorder negatively impacts women’s self-esteem, mental health, well-being, and relationships, while diagnosis and treatment for the disorder increase feelings of self-acceptance and self-worth. Women with this undiagnosed disorder are most likely to experience impairment in the areas of social-emotional well-being, relationships, and life control, according to the research — the first of its kind to examine how under-diagnosis impacts the mental, emotional, and physical health of women. What is the disorder?
