7 Ways to Help Your Kids Be Happy and Successful—Now and for Life | 3:31
Part 1: A revolutionary approach to raising healthy, resilient, purpose-driven kids, by neuropsychologist William Stixrud and noted test-prep expert Ned Johnson
By Harbour Fraser Hodder
The facts are in. "There is an epidemic of stress-related anxiety and depression in young people," says clinical neuropsychologist William Stixrud, Ph.D., an adolescent-brain specialist on the faculty at Children's National and George Washington School of Medicine.
In The Self-Driven Child: The Science and Sense of Giving Your Kids More Control Over Their Lives, Stixrud and test-prep authority Ned Johnson give parents tools to help their children handle and recover from stress while being happier and more motivated. Here, in the first of a two-part article and video interview for Enjoy TM News, they share brain-based advice for real-world parenting. Order a copy of the bestselling book The Self-Driven Child ►

Why Autonomy Is Key for Kids
"It turns out that the most stressful thing in the universe [for a child] is having a low sense of control," Stixrud says. At the same time, the latest brain research shows "it is autonomy or a sense of control that makes kids turn into self-motivated adolescents and adults."
Johnson, founder of PrepMatters and a speaker on parent-teen dynamics, explains the link: "If kids get through a difficult thing or find success, but they have the sense of, 'I never could have done this without Mom or Dad,' the whole opportunity for wiring their brains goes poof. So we really want to let kids own their own successes and own their own failures, because that is what the brain science supports."
Neuropsychologist William Stixrud, Ph.D., adolescent-brain specialist
Nurturing resilient brains is the aim. "Our major goal is really helping kids sculpt brains that are going to serve them the rest of their lives," says Stixrud. "We don't want kids who will buckle under any kind of stress; we want kids to have high stress tolerance. And we do that by letting them handle challenges and then recovering."
Stixrud and Johnson both practice the Transcendental Meditation® (TM®) technique and recommend it for children and parents.
"We love what TM does for a developing brain," says Stixrud, "because meditation is a beautiful way for kids to recover from stress."

How to Help Kids Build Resilient Brains—Hint: It's Not Helicopter Parenting
It's easy for parents to think "the best way to help their kids is making sure that they always do well and don't encounter any major road blocks," notes Stixrud. But helicopter parenting—"hovering" and being hypervigilant about removing all the obstacles in your child's path—can backfire.
Test-prep expert Ned Johnson, founder of PrepMatters
"The research shows that the best thing for kids to develop a sense of control—and a sense of resilience—is to have a stressor and face that thing themselves, but to do it with support," Johnson says. "When parents eliminate obstacles so their kids never feel distress, they are missing part 1 of that equation. Then by hovering and being hypervigilant and more anxious themselves, they remove part 2."
Instead, "the ideal thing is to let kids grow up and have their own adventures—win, lose, get in an argument, whatever—and be able to come back home as a safe base," he says.
That is how young people develop strong and capable brains, says Stixrud: "You deal with stuff that happens and you realize, 'I didn't die. I could handle that,' and then you get to go home. As long as home is not filled with stress and tension, you get to relax. And it is that combination of experiencing the challenges of life, being able to handle them, recovering, and going out again, that develops a resilient brain."

7 Ways to Help Your Kids Be More Autonomous and in Control
What can parents can do to nurture their children's brains and sense of independence? Stixrud and Johnson boil it down to seven things you can start doing today.
1. Be a Consultant to Your Kids, Not Their Boss
"The first thing we suggest is to think about yourself as a consultant to your kid, as opposed to your kid's boss or manager or taskmaster," says Stixrud.
Take homework. Instead of making it a never-ending battle, Stixrud recommends saying something like, "I am not going to fight with you. I just love you too much to have all that stress and hassle and tension. But, I am willing to do anything I can to help you. I am willing to sit with you 6:30 to 7:30 every night, but I am not going to act like it is my job to make you do it. Because it's not, and I will weaken you if I do."
2. Tell Your Kids, "It's Your Call"
As a consultant, "as much as you can, practice telling your kid, 'It's your call,'" says Johnson. This not only helps young people own their successes and failures, it also makes them more open to your input.
"When we say, 'It's your call,' they don't feel from the very start that they have to start playing defense," Johnson explains. "This almost automatically makes kids feel safe. Their threat detector does not think, 'Oh, Dad is going to make me do this,' and it makes it much easier for them to engage with us in a pro/con process. Say, 'I want you to think this through, but I also want to hear what your thinking is. I would like you to be open to my advice, but then it is going to be your decision what you do.'"
3. Be a "Nonanxious Presence" in Your Kids' Life
"If we want our kids to be less anxious, one way we can help them is to be less anxious ourselves," says Stixrud. And practicing the TM technique, which has been shown to lower anxiety, can play a big part in that.
"Given this crisis of anxiety and depression in young people, parents want to know, 'What can I do?'" Stixrud notes. "Well, one thing we can do is we can work on our own anxiety. We know that anxiety is contagious, as is calm. We want people to meditate in part so that they can play that role as a nonanxious presence in their family."
When parents say to Johnson, "She is driving me crazy. I am trying to get her to meditate," he often responds, "Well, what about you?"
Johnson finds his own TM practice to be very helpful as a parent: "If I can be a person who is as calm as I can possibly be, then when she comes in and she is upset about things, I am not overly emotional or overly reactive. It is such a gift, because there are so few people in this world who can serve as that nonanxious presence."
And kids want their parents to be happier and less stressed. Stixrud often tells the story of a boy with ADHD who learned to meditate with his mother. When asked, "How does it help?" he said, "Well, TM calms the mind, and it calms the Mom."
"If we want our kids to be less anxious, one way we can help them is to be less anxious ourselves." —William Stixrud, Ph.D.
4. Practice "Radical Downtime"
To reduce anxiety for the whole family, "Kids and adults need more of what we call 'radical downtime,'" says Stixrud. That includes meditation and sleep and "just being alone with your own thoughts."
During TM practice, for example, it may seem as though you're doing nothing, he says, "but actually you are very deeply resting and restoring your brain. It's an antidote to the mind-scattering, mind-numbing, and mind-racing effects of being plugged in all of the time."
Modeling this for kids is also key, says Johnson: "We can lead the charge on this and say, 'I really need to put that phone away.'"
And if you're feeling too tired or scattered to be present as a parent, say, "Hey, I would love to have this conversation, but let me go meditate, because when I come back, I will think more clearly, and I will be able to really pay attention to you well," Johnson says.
"If you model this behavior for your kids, it is so much easier when you make suggestions, because they have watched you follow them yourself," he adds.
Practicing radical downtime: "I would love to have this conversation, but let me go meditate, because when I come back, I will think more clearly, and I will be able to really pay attention to you well."
5. Help Your Kids See the World Accurately
"The next point is that we want kids to have an accurate model of reality," says Stixrud. "Many kids have the idea that it is either Yale or McDonald's."
Too many teens are "terrified they aren't going to get into a good enough college," he says. But it just isn't true "that the only way to become successful is by being highly stressed and highly anxious and driven to get into the most elite college"—most successful people didn't go to Harvard or Yale.
Help your kids prioritize developing themselves as people and as students, so they have something to contribute to the world, Stixrud and Johnson encourage.
"We don't want children to have a workaholic brain that is never satisfied, that is always stressed, that is always unhappy," Stixrud says, but rather "to sculpt a brain that is going to be healthy, that is going to serve them the rest of their life."
Help your kids prioritize developing themselves as people and as students, so they have something to contribute to the world.
6. How to Get Your Kids to Sleep More? Try Negotiation, and TM
Sleep is a huge issue for children—they're just not getting enough. "The biggest challenge that I see with kids is how under-rested they are," says Johnson. But it's hard to know "whether kids are not well rested because they are so stressed about what they have to do, or whether they are stressed about what they have to do because they are not well rested," he adds.
To help your kids get more sleep, Johnson and Stixrud advise practicing a key feature of "being a consultant": Negotiate.
"You can try to force your kid into bed, but you can't make him sleep," says Stixrud. Instead, "we want to negotiate with kids. What can I live with? What can you live with in terms of bedtime? And how much sleep do you think you need to function well?"
Developing such "collaborative thinking and problem-solving with our kids," is very effective, he says, because "if we try to rigidly set limits on their technology, they just fight us all the time to use more, and it doesn't work very well."
Practicing TM may help break what can be a vicious cycle of sleep deprivation, adds Johnson. He explains to kids under a lot of stress that the amygdala—the brain's threat detector—"is about 60 percent more reactive if you are tired," and seeing threat everywhere isn't conducive to sleep or preparing for tests.
Because practicing TM helps calm kids' brains, it "helps them sleep more easily and more deeply, which helps them be a little bit more calm and a little bit less anxious," notes Johnson. "For kids who are really struggling with sleep regulation, TM might be the perfect medicine" to replace that vicious cycle with a virtuous one.
7. "When Push Comes to Shove, Do Everything You Can to Just Enjoy Your Kids"
This may seem "Pollyannish," Johnson says, but it's really important to simply enjoy your children—especially "when they are kind of a mess." If they've had a tough time with a test, for example, think about enjoying your kids and say, "'I love you,' because kids so often feel that it is their success rather than them that matters."
Just enjoying your child is also part of being a "nonanxious presence" in his life. "Let's heal our own fear and anxiety about the kid, and then we can help him more," Stixrud says.
Research suggests that "what infants need is warmth and responsiveness," notes Stixrud. "You can't discipline an infant—what they respond to is warmth and responsiveness. I am not sure there is ever a time in our life when it is not valuable to us to have somebody who is warm and responsive. Who better than parents?"

What do Stixrud and Johnson hope readers get out of The Self-Driven Child?
"I want parents to feel that it is safe not to worry about their kid all of the time, that they can trust in the kid's development," says Stixrud. ""If we can worry less about our kids and trust that they have a brain in their head and want their life to work, then by supporting their need for a strong sense of control and autonomy, and managing our own anxiety, our kids will launch and they will launch well.""
Johnson adds that in the book, they talk about how "it's easier to put on slippers than it is to carpet the world." In other words, "there are things that we can practically do as people, as families, ideally as schools and communities, to make ourselves feel more peaceful and more happy… TM is one of those things that, even in the middle of a world that may not feel peaceful, if it helps our brain feel peaceful, that is such a gift, and it gives us an advantage to navigate this world that is filled with challenges."

One in five future thyroid cancers linked to excess weight
The prevalence of obesity has doubled in Australia in the last two decades. As a result, overweight and obesity will be associated with 10,000 thyroid cancers in the next decade.
Avoiding excess weight, especially obesity, should be a priority for thyroid cancer prevention, the first study to evaluate future thyroid cancer burden in Australia has found.
The world-first study published in the International Journal of Cancer and led by Dr Maarit Laaksonen from UNSW's School of Mathematics and Statistics, found that one in five future thyroid cancers in Australia is attributable to current levels of overweight and obesity.
Dr Laaksonen, a senior lecturer in Data Science, says this is concerning as the prevalence of obesity in Australia has doubled during the last two decades, with 75 per cent of Australian men and 60 per cent of Australian women being overweight or obese.
"This finding translates to close to 10,000 thyroid cancers in the next 10 years," Dr Laaksonen says. "Obesity explains 75 per cent of this burden in Australia."
The main authority for cancer research, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, has concluded that body fatness is a causal risk factor of thyroid cancer.
But Dr Laaksonen says this is the first time a study has evaluated the thyroid cancer burden attributable to current levels of overweight and obesity and compared this burden by sex.
Thyroid cancer is one of the few cancers that is 2-3 times as common in women as in men, but Dr Laaksonen says the study found that the future thyroid cancer burden attributable to overweight/obese is higher for men compared with women.
Being overweight or obese explains two in five thyroid cancers in men, and one in 10 thyroid cancers in women.
"It is still not well understood what causes the sex difference in overweight/obesity-related thyroid cancer risk," Dr Laaksonen says.
"But our findings add evidence to the urgent need to halt and reverse the current global trend in weight gain, especially obesity and especially in men."
Dr Maarit Laaksonen
Dr Laaksonen says while this study defines what is linked to one in five thyroid cancers in Australia, it's not well understood what explains the remainder.
"Other lifestyle factors do not appear to be implicated but ionizing radiation exposure, iodine deficiency and some genetic factors and family history are known to increase the thyroid cancer risk. Thyroid cancer is a bit like prostate cancer that its risk factors are not yet very well understood."
The study findings were based on seven Australian cohort studies involving 370,000 participants, which enabled the evaluation of less common cancers such as thyroid cancer.
"We linked the data from these seven studies, which all ascertained the participants' Body Mass Index [BMI] at study baseline, with national cancer and death databases, which allowed us to estimate the strength of BMI-cancer and BMI-death associations during the follow-up," Dr Laaksonen says.
"We estimated up-to-date prevalence of overweight and obesity in the Australian population from the latest National Health Survey from 2017-2018, and then combined the strength of association and exposure prevalence estimates to estimate population attributable fractions [PAF].
The PAFs describe what fraction of future cancers at the population level is explained by current exposure. We did this by applying advanced PAF methods which I developed."
The advanced PAF methods allow for unbiased disease burden estimates, as well as for the comparison of preventable disease burden by population subgroups in the study. "These methods require access to large cohort data," Dr Laaksonen says.
As prevalence of overweight/obesity is higher in men than women it adds to the sex difference in thyroid cancer burden.
"Finally, we multiplied the PAF estimates by the projected numbers of thyroid cancers in the next ten years (2021-2030) to get the absolute numbers of thyroid cancers that are expected to occur due to body fatness," Dr Laaksonen says.
The aim of the project, which was jointly funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council and the Cancer Institute NSW, was to evaluate for the first time preventable future burden of cancer in Australia and its determinants.
The team involved in this study includes collaborators and representatives of the seven cohort studies on which the study was based on.
They are from various Australian universities, institutes and Cancer Councils.
Dr Laaksonen has previously published findings on preventable lung, colorectal, breast, endometrial, ovarian, pancreatic, kidney, bladder and head and neck cancers.
The data scientist is a member of an international team that has recently received a $550,000 grant from the World Cancer Research Fund to expand the cancer burden analyses internationally.
"This grant is a fantastic opportunity to use my methods to inform global cancer control. Our collaboration includes experts at Cancer Council Victoria, University of Melbourne, University of New South Wales and Harvard University," she says.
Her next steps include a study on the preventable burden of stomach and oesophageal cancers, and a summary paper on preventable cancer burden in Australia across all cancers.

Celtic 4 - 2 Aberdeen
Kick Off: 3:00 PM Waddell 36 (o.g.), McPhail 78, Haughney 81, McPhail 90 Kelly 6, Rice 85.
Venue: Celtic Park, Glasgow
Dons Were Their Own Executioners
Altered Tactics - Celtic Took Command
FOR half the game against Celtic at Parkhead the Dons were a good team; for seventy-seven minutes they looked as if they would force a draw; during the last twelve minutes they suffered a total eclipse.
No team should lose three goals in twelve minutes, particularly when they have the advantage of a wind and rainstorm.
Aberdeen built the scaffolding for their own execution. Against the elements in the first half they played adventurous and imaginative football. As a team they were better than Celtic.
The Parkhead club retired at half time on level terms, thanks only to a goal that had a big element of luck attached to it.
For some inexplicable reason the Dons completely altered their tactics after the interval. When they could have taken a gamble they decided to play safe - they fell back in defence.
This was an invitation to Celtic to take the initiative and they gladly accepted. They showed their appreciation by scoring three goals.
The wing half backs, Anderson and Harris, were the first to relinquish enterprise for safety, and it spread to the forwards.
It was only when the men in front decided to take a hand that cracks appeared in the Aberdeen defence. The defensive machinery became clogged.
Up to that point the Pittodrie defenders had produced the answer to the best the Celtic forwards could bring against them.
Emery, Waddell and McKenna played soundly. The right back refused to become hypnotised by the ball-juggling Tully and forced the winger to adopt a roving policy.
McKenna, who had not been playing well in recent weeks, made a welcome return to something like his best form.
Yorston was the sprightliest Pittodrie forward and so long as he retains this standard of play he will continue to command a place in the League side. He was confident in possession and intelligent in his distribution in the first half.
Rice was enterprising on the right and comes next in the order of merit. Kellv in the middle covered a lot of ground without being specially dangerous.
Hather flashed into the limelight once or twice in the first forty-five minutes, but the left winger has not yet recovered the swashbuckling spirit that characterised his play last season.
Hamilton was but a shadow of the real Hamilton. He seemed unable to get clear of the persistent McAuley.
Celtic are at the top of the League table, but they did not impress as a championshipwinning team. The Dons' two goals were taken so cleanly and easily as to leave the Parkhead defence under suspicion.
The inside forwards, McPhail, Haughney and Taylor, are not the ideal combination.
With the exception of the fourth, netted in first-class style by McPhail, the Celtic goals caused no alteration in the pulse rate of the 30,000 onlookers.
Kelly Dives,/p> Aberdeen took the lead in six minutes, when Kelly dived forward to head home a free kick taken by Rice.
The equaliser arrived in thirty-six minutes. Collins cut in along the touchline from a slip from McPhail. When he attempted to get the ball into the middle to Haughney it struck Waddell and was deflected into goal.
Thirty-three minutes after the start of the second period Celtic went ahead. When Taylor edged on a free kick from Boden, McPhail snicked the ball goalwards and it rolled into the net near the post.
Haughney got the third three minutes later and the centre-forward appeared to be in an offside position when received the ball from Tully.
The Dons hit back five minutes from the end. Kelly worked his way out to the left and lobbed the ball into the middle for Rice to beat the Celtic defence in the jump and head into the net.
McPhail completed the scoring in the last minute, crashing the ball past Curran from a dainty lob from Tully.

Dating | Love & Relationships
How would I know when I'm caught up in my Turn On's?
Relationship expert Chris Wright explains how to know when you're caught up in your turn on's.
Chris Wright is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. He sees clients in the Washington, D.C. area and has telephone clients from all over the world. He also has over 35 years of experience as a trainer and workshop leader in human and organizational development across the U.S. and Canada. Chris was founder and director of the Human Relations Institute in Houston, Texas. He was also the Director of PAIRS International -- training psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists in couple's skills programs. As an innovator in the field, he has developed a unique blend of tools that increase the effectiveness in relationships -- for couples and in the workplace. He has Masters Degrees from the University of Arizona and Antioch University in Los Angeles.
Host:How would I know when I am caught up in my own Turn On's ?
Chris Wright:That is certainly the experiences, you are with your partner and you are often to your own private world of euphoria, that they are reveling in their own inner experience and a way they are caught up in wanting things to done that would trigger these Turn On's . So, the focus is more on the doing to get high rather than the experience of connecting together.
In these situations, they are connected more to their imagination then they are to you, and you can feel that. There is more fantasy going on in real love or lovemaking and so the question to ask yourself is, why would you need to trigger these fantasy substitute, why would you need to get each other turned on to have to make love, to get in the mood, to get an erection? The only reason a couple would ever have to start relying on Turn On's , on trying to get each other sexually excited is because there is a sense of they do not know how to tap into any longer these love energies, these more sublime, more powerful, more exhilarating, more intimate, more meaningful energies together and so they start to rely on now substituting spicing up the relationship, but you did not need that one you first met together and you made love.
There was not any thought that you would have to say, let us stop and put on a video tape or do this or do that. There was so much -- those love energies are so all encompassing. So, fulfilling in and of themselves is much richer than the imagination that you wouldn t think to do that. The only reason they start to start to creep in, is when you use lose touch with, how to sustain that, how to attune to those love energies together? So, it becomes important for a couple to learn that, to learn how to make love, to learn how to keep -- how to attract, how to attune to, how to unleash these more profound energies inside themselves that are exhilarating, that are so deeply fulfilling together.

Clubs and Associations are critical to the delivery of volleyball and beach volleyball in Australia. As such it is important that they are able to access support and resources to improve their ability to attract players, coaches, officials and administrators and implement improved organisational processes that reflect current best practice in Australian sport.
The Portal is designed to assist and support Clubs and Associaitons in the areas of capacity building, participation growth and club sustainability. Recognising the vital role that clubs play in growing the game, this portal has been developed as a whole of industry initiative to assist with resources and information on running a successful volleyball club. Our goal is to lead, partner and support the growth in participation, performance and profile of Volleyball in Australia.
Possibly the most comprehensive resource available to assist clubs and associations in Australia is the Australian Sports Commission's Club Development Network. The Club DEvelopment Network is a free web-based program that supports the development and management capacity of sporting clubs and associations. The network helps identify ways in which clubs and associations can be improved so they can provide the best possible service to their members.
Resources range from templates for a strategic plan through to fact sheets on how to run a safe sausage sizzle. It is all there waiting for clubs and associations to log on and print.


SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The Bureau of Reclamation today announced the initial 2019 water supply allocation for Central Valley Project water service contractors. This allocation is based on a conservative estimate of the amount of water that will be available for delivery to CVP water users and reflects current reservoir storages, precipitation and snowpack in the Central Valley and Sierra Nevada.
California experienced a dry summer and fall in 2018; however, precipitation so far this year has been well above average. The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) reports that as of February 15, the statewide average snow water equivalent in the Sierra Nevada snowpack was 141 percent of the historical average, and overall precipitation is currently approximately 121 percent of the historical average for the northern Central Valley.
With a capacity of about 4.5 million acre-feet, Shasta Lake generally represents the majority of the water storage for the CVP. The water stored in Shasta Lake is used for many purposes, including supply for many of the water contractors of the CVP both north and south of the Delta, as well as ensuring that adequate temperatures can be maintained in the Sacramento River downstream of the dam throughout the summer and fall for endangered winter-run Chinook salmon. Recent storms have brought storage in the reservoir back up to just above the historic average. However, runoff forecasts still predict that overall storage this year might be limited if the typical spring precipitation does not materialize.
Based on the conditions described above, Reclamation provides an initial allocation as described below.
Agricultural water service contractors North-of-Delta are allocated 70 percent of their contract supply.
Pursuant to Reclamation's M&I water shortage guidelines, M&I water service contractors North-of-Delta (including American River and In-Delta Contractors) are allocated 95 percent of their historic use.
Eastside water service contractors (Central San Joaquin Water Conservation District and Stockton East Water District) will receive 100 percent of their contract total.
Agricultural water service contractors South-of-Delta are allocated 35 percent of their contract supply.
M&I water service contractors South-of-Delta are allocated the greater of 75 percent of their historic use or public health and safety needs.
Friant Division contractors' water supply develops in the Upper San Joaquin River Basin Watershed and is delivered from Millerton Lake through Friant Dam to the Madera Canal and Friant-Kern Canal. The first 800,000 acre-feet of available water supply is considered Class 1; and Class 2 is considered the next amount of available water supply up to 1.4 million acre-feet. Given the current hydrologic conditions, we have determined that a block of 150,000 acre-feet needs to be evacuated from Millerton Lake in March in order to avoid making flood releases later in the spring. As such the initial Friant Division water supply allocation is being based on "uncontrolled season" conditions. During this uncontrolled season period the Class 1 allocation is 100 percent, and any portions of the uncontrolled season supply not picked up by Class 1 contractors are accordingly made available to contractors with Class 2 designations in their contract. The uncontrolled season may be shortened or extended, however, we will coordinate our operations with the Friant contractors on a weekly basis throughout this period, and will update the Friant Division allocations following the conclusion of uncontrolled season.
For the San Joaquin River Restoration Program, Reclamation is currently forecasting a "Normal-Wet" water year type, providing for about 322,000 acre-feet to be used for Restoration Program purposes.
On February 15, Reclamation notified the Sacramento River Settlement Contractors, San Joaquin River Exchange Contractors, San Joaquin Settlement Contractors, and Refuge Contractors that the forecasted inflow to Shasta Lake is currently greater than the amount that would cause this to be a "Shasta Critical" year as that term is defined in their contracts.

Eva Longoria Opens Up About Teri Hatcher Feud: 'She's Just A Loner'
By Calvin	 Last updated May 30, 2012
Whoa. Eva Longoria has had a lot to say about the whole Desperate Housewives feud between the cast-members and Teri Hatcher. On their final day of shooting, Eva, Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman all sent out a card to the crew, thanking them for their hard work, however, Hatcher wasn't included on that list which sparked a potential feud between them.
The actress told OK: "You know, Teri was just a loner," she told OK. "Me and Marcia [Cross] and Felicity [Huffman] were a lot closer because we are just girlie girls who like to be in each other's company. Teri didn't. There was no bad blood, I think that was just the way it was."
Speaking on the court case between show creator, Marc Cherry and former Housewive star, Nicollett Sheridan after she claimed she was physically hurt by him, Eva says: "We were pretty removed from the court case," she revealed. "But Nicollette is great, she is a great girl. She's just a fun girl to hang out with."
She continued on why Teri was left out from the goodbye card: "It could be as simple as they couldn't get together on it, but Teri did do her own gift as well, so if she did get left out, she made up for it," he said. "I can honestly say I don't have any idea what the backstory is on the gift."

What does it mean to major in linguistics?
Linguistics majors learn that language is composed of layers of intertwined systems (sound, meaning, organization and context) as they study phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. This interdisciplinary major allows students to explore the relationship between language and social factors such as region, ethnicity, gender, and identity; and how language is acquired and changes over time. Students acquire valuable intellectual skills: analytical reasoning, critical thinking, argumentation, and clarity of expression. Linguistics can provide insight into virtually every other field of study, since every student uses language to learn.
Why is the University of Mississippi a good place to study linguistics?
The linguistics faculty is comprised of 8 core faculty with 11 more faculty who conduct linguistics research in the Department of Modern Languages. The faculty have expertise in dialectology, language acquisition, languages in contact, sociolinguistics, speech disorders, discourse analysis, syntax, and translation studies.
Each year the linguistics faculty selects a top linguistics student to receive the T.J. Ray Award in linguistics at the university's annual Honors Day ceremony.
Dr. Tamara Warhol, Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics, earned her Ph.D. in Educational Linguistics from the University of Pennsylvania. From 2007-2015, she served as Director of the Intensive English Program. A discourse analysist, she studies how people use language and other methods of communication to acquire and display expertise in classrooms and the professions. Her current research investigates how people learn and teach using online games and simulations.
What can UM linguistics majors do after graduation?
A liberal arts education empowers and prepares students to deal with complexity and change through a broad knowledge of the world. They gain key skills in communication, problem-solving, and working with a diverse group of people. Related careers in linguistics include education, international business & banking, tourism, journalism, law, foreign service, cultural affairs, military service, and health care.
A transfer student from Northeast Mississippi Community College, Trey took Introduction to Linguistic Science, Forensic Linguistics, Intro to Chinese, and Intro to French in his first semester at UM. Ultimately he decided on French, even staying to complete a master's in French. Trey's interests drew him out into the community in different ways. Linguistics courses involved interviewing people or recording conversations. He was involved in the Oxford Community Garden, Campus for Clean Energy, and a founding leader of the North Central chapter of the Gaining Ground Sustainability Institute of Mississippi.
Since leaving Oxford, Trey has worked with an environmental non-profit and done freelance media work. He currently lived in Wales where linguistics helped him learn Welsh and serve as an advocate for minority language speakers in Europe.

Rather than signal the last stop on its journey back into the environment, the wastewater treatment process might be the first step toward a second life as a renewable energy source. Dr. Metin Duran, associate professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and the Environmental Microbiology and Biotechnology (EMB) research group have secured a $40,000 grant from the Philadelphia Water Department to investigate the conversion of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) present in wastewater into methane gas.
For the past five years, the group has worked with the Philadelphia Water Department to develop technologies that convert wastewater byproducts into renewable energy. For this research study, the group will explore anaerobic co-digestion of FOG, commonly referred to as 'scum,' which accumulates during wastewater treatment and is typically sent to landfills.
To achieve this conversion, the group will combine FOG and naturally occurring microbes that are capable of digesting it into an engineered system designed to optimize the digestion and conversion process. The result of this process is methane gas.


100% Whey Protein Formula Our three-whey blend offers the perfect mix of nutritional quality, great taste, and bang for your buck.
100% Whey Protein from whey concentrates, isolates, and hydrolysates, 24 grams of protein per scoop, and packed with naturally-occurring EAA, BCAA, and glutamine.
An overachiever in every way – except the price!
Add one (1) scoop of R1 Protein powder to one (1) cup 8oz) of cold water. Stir or blend until smooth.
WHEN ARE THE BEST TIMES TO USE R1 WHEY BLEND?
As a fast acting protein blend, R1 Whey Blend works well first thing in the morning and before or immediately after workouts to help effectively deliver the vital amino acids your muscles need for optimal performance.
HOW MUCH R1 WHEY BLEND SHOULD I TAKE?
It really depends upon factors such as your physical size, what your diet consists of, how many total calories you consume, and your activity level. A common rule of thumb in the bodybuilding world is to aim for 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight per day. In other words, a 160 lb athlete should target 160 g of total protein from all dietary sources including protein powders and other supplements.
WHAT ARE THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN R1 WHEY BLEND AND R1 PROTEIN?
R1 Whey Blend is an excellent choice for most athletes. It offers a great combination of taste, value, and nutrition by blending ultra-filtered whey protein concentrate with more premium whey protein isolates and whey hydrolysates. The slightly higher fat and carbohydrate content of the R1 Whey Blend contribute to richer flavor and creamier texture than nutritionally cleaner formulas like R1 Protein. Our flagship, R1 Protein, is made entirely with whey protein isolate and hydrolysates (no whey concentrates). As a result, it is virtually devoid of anything macronutrients that are not protein. If you are on an ultra-strict diet, or advanced athlete that demands the very best, R1 Protein is a perfect option.

Young leader advocating for girls' rights and gender equality in male-dominated environments
Hadiqa Bashir is a confident young feminist, visionary and citizen leader. She was born into a patriarchal society in Saidu Sharif, which is located in the Swat Valley in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan's Tribal Belt and which motivated her to work against early and forced marriages in Pakistan's tribal regions. To that end, she founded Girls United for Human Rights to protect and promote girls' rights.

Q: Give an example of two functions such that $\lim_{x\to\infty}f(x)=\infty$, $\lim_{x\to\infty}g(x)=0$. But $\lim_{x\to\infty}f(x)g(x)$ does not exist. Give an example of two functions $f:(0,\infty)\to\mathbb{R}$, $g:(0,\infty)\to\mathbb{R}$, such as $\forall x>0$, $f(x)>0$ and $g(x)>0$, and $\lim_{x\to\infty}f(x)=\infty$, $\lim_{x\to\infty}g(x)=0$, but $\lim_{x\to\infty}f(x)g(x)$ does not exist.
I was thinking that maybe $f(x)g(x)$ should be a trigonometric function (specifically sine or cosine), this way $\lim_{x\to\infty}f(x)g(x)$ would not exist, however I am unable to propose two functions $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ that fulfill the conditions stated at the beginning.

A: How about: $f(x) = x^2$ and $g(x) = \frac{1}{x}$? Then $\lim_{x \to \infty} f(x)g(x) = \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{x^2}{x} = \lim_{x \to \infty} x = +\infty$.
Another example: $f(x) = x (\sin^2{x}+1)$ and $g(x) = \frac{\sin^2{x}+1}{x}$.

A: You have a good idea: start with proposing what the product $f(x)g(x)$ could be, and then construct the individual $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ from that. And the idea to use trigonometric functions sounds really good to me too! We just need to make it work.
First of all, since all functions have to be strictly positive, we can't simply use "$f(x)g(x)=\sin x$" (or cosine). But we can raise its graph vertically to make it strictly positive; for example, let's say $f(x)g(x)=3+\sin x$.
Notice this function is bounded: $2\le3+\sin x\le4$. Now take your favorite positive function that goes to $+\infty$ to be $f(x)$. Then this $f(x)$ and $g(x)=\dfrac{3+\sin x}{f(x)}$ will work.

The Dark Ages of Mental Illness
David Sossamon, Staff Writer
Mental illness has become a widespread epidemic among teens. Things such as anxiety and depression seem almost normal in our modern schools with how often it's brought up and talked about. With mental illness being able to affect both one's social life and grades, why has it not become an issue many parents are keen to watch for? What has changed in this generation that has caused such an unprecedented rise, and how does it affect their ability to learn?
According to madinamerica.com, antidepressant use has increased by nearly 400% in the last two decades, making it one of the fastest growing conditions in the world. Something capable of spreading at this rate cannot be ignored in the long run.
Healthline.com stated, "It's estimated that 16.2 million adults in the United States, or 6.7 percent of American adults, have had at least one major depressive episode in a given year."
One of the biggest questions that scientists are still baffled by is why something like this might happen. It's a sudden yet dramatic change in society that has seemingly appeared with no rhyme or reason behind it. Some blame parenting, social media, increase exposure to technology, increased stress as well as many other factors as the cause.
"Isolation and lack of socialization are commonly linked to depression, especially for people who don't socialize for more than a day at a time," ptsdjournal.com said.
"Millennials can't help but compare their situations and achievements to everyone else's, which can leave them feeling insecure and unaccomplished," Singh told Healthline.
"I see many young adults who say they are social, but their social interactions consist of talking with people online while playing a video game for hours," Kathryn Moore, PhD, a psychologist at Providence Saint John's Child and Family Development Center said. "These types of social interactions aren't allowing for true sharing, connectedness, or feeling known."
With how many students are at WHS, there are bound to be a large number of students who may need assistance with mental health. If you believe you may be suffering from mental illness, or know somebody that does, there are E-books available in the WHS High School's Library that may be able to aid you as well as resources through the Counselors' office.

Coronavirus - 27 October 2021
This is the rolling coronavirus story for Wednesday 27 October 2021
https://www.lavozdealmeria.com/noticia/3/provincia/224495/la-incidencia-del-covid-sube-en-almeria-pese-a-la-bajada-diaria-de-casos
The incidence of covid rises in Almería despite the daily drop in cases
The three health districts are still at medium risk and above rate 50
Despite the drop in diagnosed covid infections in Almería in the last 24 hours, 29 compared to 60 on Tuesday, the provincial cumulative incidence rate rises slightly again to 61.3 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 14 days (compared to 61.1 the day before), and the three health districts continue to be above the 50 rate, which marks the low risk from the virus.
In this way, the Almería Health District has a rate of 65.0, 1.6 points lower than that of Tuesday, while in the capital it is 61.1; the Levante District falls to 56.1 (on Tuesday it was 58.8) and the Poniente, the area that until now was in the best situation, is the one that rises the most, from 55.8 to 59.6, with what in Currently, Levante-Alto Almanzora is the district with the lowest rate,
Although the accumulated incidence is one of the criteria used to establish the alert level of each district, it is only one more, and at present the province seems to continue to comply with the others, which are the incidence in people over 65 years of age in 14 days; the tests carried out; the percentages of traceability; the index of occupied ICU beds; the hospitalization rate and vaccination coverage. In this way, the territorial public health alert committee could keep the entire province at its meeting this Wednesday at the zero alert level before the covid, in which all of Andalusia is already present.
Returning to the data from the last day, the best news is that the covid-19 has not claimed any death in Almería, although it has one in Andalusia, one in the province of Seville.
Regarding hospitalization data, in the last 24 hours three people with covid-19 have been admitted to the province, two of them in critical condition in an intensive care unit.
According to data from the Andalusian Institute of Statistics and Cartography, there have been 54 people who have overcome the infection, with which the active cases in Almería are now 564.
Psychology and the pandemic in Andalucía
https://www.lavozdealmeria.com/noticia/12/almeria/224455/los-almerienses-son-los-que-menos-miedo-tienen-a-contagiarse-de-covid
The people of Almeria are the least afraid of catching Covid
The Andalusian Studies Center presents a report on psychological repercussions
Almeria are among the Andalusians who are least afraid of catching coronavirus (Covid-19). This is revealed by a report from the Andalusian Studies Center Foundation (CENTRA), attached to the Ministry of the Presidency, Public Administration and the Interior of the Junta de Andalucía.
The study was presented this Tuesday morning in Seville, at the headquarters of the Official College of Psychology of Western Andalusia. The results of the report 'Psychological repercussions of COVID-19 in Andalusia', the first study with representative data from Andalusia that investigates the psychological consequences of the pandemic, have been made public. Based on a survey of a sample of 3,600 participants, over 18 years of age, it was conducted in the months of April and May 2021.
In the province of Almería, around 300 surveys have been carried out, as reported to this newspaper from unofficial sources.
In addition, the people of Almeria are among the Andalusians with lower levels of anxiety, depression and stress compared to the emotional state before the coronavirus pandemic.
In both variables. Almería and Huelva share parameters, that is, their citizens are the least afraid of contracting Covid-19 and those with the fewest episodes of anxiety.
Among the priority objectives of the study, are the analysis of the psychological impact of the pandemic and confinement in relation to a series of indicators such as levels of anxiety, depression, stress, general psychological discomfort, fear of infection, relationship problems and risk suicidal, among others; and the examination of attitudes towards vaccination in Andalusia.
The results of the report confirm the assessment of the Official College of Psychology of Western Andalusia on the importance of focusing on mental health and psychological treatments. The pandemic situation has generated its impact, aggravating existing psychological problems or causing them in people who did not suffer from them. Hence the importance of increasing the number of psychologists in the public health system, especially in Primary Care.
This study has been directed by the doctor in Psychology and director of the scientific journal 'Analysis and Modification of Behavior', Francisco Revuelta Pérez; in collaboration with Wenceslao Peñate Castro, Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of La Laguna; the Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Seville, Luis Rodríguez Franco; and the professor of Social, Evolutionary and Educational Psychology at the University of Huelva, Luisa Rodríguez Fernández.
Elevated levels of anxiety, depression, and stress
The results of the report detail that high levels of anxiety, depression and stress have been detected that exceed those of the circumstances prior to the pandemic. Specifically, the percentage of people who present some degree of anxiety is 38.78%; depression, 37.1%; and stress, 34.44%.
An interesting question in these three variables is that there have been three provincial groupings: in Almería and Huelva the levels have been lower; Jaén and Cádiz have been located at an intermediate level; while Malaga, Seville, Cordoba and Granada have consistently reached the highest values.
Although there are no statistically significant differences by sex or by age groups, those over 75 years of age are the ones with the highest levels in these three variables.
Given the above, it is not surprising that 53.94% of the total sample studied state that they feel greater general psychological discomfort at the time of the interview, in relation to before the pandemic occurred. 15.81% declare that they are the same, while another 30.25% affirm that they have less discomfort.
Fear of infection and self-perceived risk of contagion
When asked directly about the fear of contagion, 82.59% declared that they had some fear of contagion. Of them, 39.91% express fear to a lesser degree, compared to 25.72%, who express a lot and 16.96%, a lot. In this regard, specialists insist that a certain degree of fear makes the adoption of recommended health behaviors more likely, since it is a protective mechanism in certain situations.
From these results, three provincial groupings have been derived: Almería and Huelva concentrate the population that expresses - at the time of the survey - less fear of catching the coronavirus; Jaén, Cádiz and Seville are at an intermediate level; and Granada, Malaga and Córdoba, are the provinces where he was most afraid.
Regarding the size of the habitat, statistically significant differences have been found between the localities that have between 10,001 and 20,000 inhabitants, compared to all those included in this study.
Another variable within the scope of personal perception has been the risk of self-perceived contagion, that is, the individual belief that the individual has about their susceptibility to being infected with a disease, in this case, COVID-19. In the total sample, 78.79% of those interviewed are in the group of those who consider themselves to be at low risk of contagion, compared to 21.21% who are included in the high risk group.
Partner relationships and suicide risk
Among the participants in the sample who are in a relationship, 57.93% affirm that there were no problems during the pandemic and the confinement. Among those who give an affirmative answer, 30.32% declare that the problems were the usual ones; 7.97% had important problems, which were resolved; while 3.77% ended up separating, a fairly high rate according to the study authors.
In relation to the risk of suicide, it has been detected that the percentage is high, standing at 15.19% of the total sample, with 1.1% of people who had made an attempt. Faced with this serious mental health problem, the researchers warn in their report that, although the suicide risk increases with age - at 75 or more years it reaches 18.0% -, it is very striking and worrying that the rates of young people are also high.
Acceptance of vaccination
Regarding issues related to vaccines, it must be taken into account that, at the time of the study, the vaccination program was not as advanced as it is now. Of the 3,600 people interviewed, 2,469 had not yet received any doses.
Of the latter, only 11.3% stated that they would not be vaccinated. Among the most frequent reasons, insecurity is used, "They do not see them as safe" (60.9%); the "Doubts about its effectiveness" (48.5%) and that "They prefer to wait" (31.5%).
Together with the authors of the study, the director of the CENTRA Foundation, Tristán Pertíñez, and the dean of the Official College of Psychology of Western Andalusia, José Tenorio, have participated in this appointment, with the purpose of deepening the analysis of their results and in possible recommendations for action to improve mental health in Andalusia.
The daily coronavirus stats for El Ejido do not look good!
Almeria Province now has 61.3 cases (approximately 0 more than the last value) per 100,000 inhabitants based on the 14 day average (red for increase; blue for decrease)
Poniente Region now has 59.6 cases (approximately 3 more than the last value) per 100,000 inhabitants based on the 14 day average (red for increase; blue for decrease)
El Ejido now has 82.4 cases (approximately 8 more than the last value) per 100,000 inhabitants based on the 14 day average (red for increase; blue for decrease)
For a second day in a row there are no changes in the vaccines stats that I report. So no details to publish today.

MATCHES & RESULTS
HOBART HURRICANES CRICKET TEAM:
Do you love the Australian T20 Cricket Team? On this page, you are going to have full insights regarding the Hobart Hurricanes cricket team. Besides, Hobart Hurricanes are the top Australian men's T20 Professional team. They compete in the domestic cricket tournament called the Big Bash League.
Because the Hobart Hurricanes are the top team of the BBL, they participate every year. Tasmania Australia is the Hobart Cricket team. They play their cricket matches on the Blundstone cricket ground. Hurricanes wear dark purple color uniform.
TEAM SQUAD:
Therefore, we are going to have a discussion regarding the team squad of the franchise for the upcoming season 2019-20.
Jofra Archer (England), Qais Ahmad (Afghanistan), James Faulkner, Ben McDermott, George Bailey, Caleb Jewell, Matthew Wade, Aaron Summers, Tom Rogers, D'Arcy Short.
Because Mr. John Botha (from South Africa) has taken retirement from all formats of cricket. His services are not available anymore. Due to the bad performance of Tymal Mills, he remained unsigned for the current season. The franchise has not made a new purchase for the upcoming season of the BBL 9th edition.
There are few players from the previous season like Jake Doran, Jarrod Freeman, Alex Doolan, Simon Milenko, Clive Rose, Tim Paine, David Moody who remain unsigned up till now. It is probable that the franchise will make two international signs for the current season.
PLAYER SELECTION FOR 9TH EDITION:
Due to bad performance in the 8th edition of the BBL, the franchise management is very hesitant to make bigger changes in the selection. Jofra Archer (England) has made the bigger difference in the bowling department of the playing eleven.
Due to the busy schedule of Jofra Archer, his services for the 9th season will not be available anymore. The Hurricanes management will be looking to sign any international player. Hurricanes are very confident about their batting stability.
Because the stars like D'Arcy Short and Matthew Wade and George Bailey will perform the batting responsibilities. The franchise has made a comfortable decision about the Afghan leg spinner Qais Ahmad for his impressing performance during the last season.

Rams vs. Cardinals: Updates and scores from the NFL playoffs
Chargers fire special teams coordinator Derius Swinton II
By JOE REEDY - AP Sports Writer
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley walks along the sideline during the second half of an NFL football game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Sunday, Jan. 9, 2022, in Las Vegas.
David Becker - freelancer, FR170737 AP
Chargers coach Brandon Staley has started the process of making changes to his staff after Los Angeles fell short of making the playoffs for the third straight year.
Staley fired special teams coordinator Derius Swinton II and assistant special teams coach Mayur Chaudhari on Friday. Staley said on Wednesday that he was beginning the process of staff evaluations after exit interviews with players on Monday and Tuesday.
The Chargers (9-8) were in position for a wild-card spot, but dropped three of their final four games, including a 35-32 overtime decision at Las Vegas last Sunday.
Staley and Swinton inherited the league's worst special teams unit. It didn't show much progress the first six weeks of the season because of inexperience and depth, but showed progress in most areas following the bye week in October because of the signings of return specialist Andre Roberts and kicker Dustin Hopkins.
Roberts, a second-team selection to The Associated Press All-Pro team, was second in the league with a 27.3-yard kick return average, including a 101-yard touchdown in the Jan. 2 win over the Denver Broncos. The Chargers finished fourth in the league in kick returns after being last through the first six games.
Hopkins was 18 of 20 on field goals after Tristan Vizcaino was inconsistent. The rookie missed four extra-point attempts the first six weeks.
While the return units saw growth, punt coverage was ranked last.
"Coming in, we knew what it was. I talked about it probably ad nauseum from the beginning of the process that we were going to take our lumps and that we had to learn from things. I think that they've really grasped that and really just grown with it," Swinton said before the season finale against Las Vegas.
Swinton has been an NFL coach for 12 seasons, including 2016 as special teams coordinator in San Francisco. Chaudhari was with Atlanta for three seasons before coming to Los Angeles.

Poison History
Today regarded as a great glam-metal punk group, Poison grew out of the same wild impulse that spawned the New York Dolls, Kiss, Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, and the Sex Pistols. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania natives Bret Michaels (vocals), C.C. DeVille (guitar), Bobby Dahl (bass), and Rikki Rocket took their act to L.A. and exploded onto the club scene with their over-the-top, no-holds-barred live shows that made audiences hysterical! Streetwise, tumultuous, hedonistic, and unforgettable in flamboyant costumes, hair, and make-up, Poison roared up the charts with their multi-platinum albums Look What the Cat Dragged In (1986) and Open Up and Say...Ahh! (1988), featuring the smash hit single, Every Rose has its Thorn.
Poison's history has been as controversial off-stage as on, punctuated by such notorious incidents as the Pamela Anderson sex-tape scandal, recurrent drug rumors, off and on bust-ups, and the never-to-be-forgotten fist-fight at the 1991 MTV Music Awards. But love 'em or hate 'em, Poison is the real thing! This band's live performances are legendary -- monsters! -- with best-in-the-business special effects and the band's signature, hard-driving, blow-your-mind sound.
