Parents' Emotional Trauma May Change Their Children's Biology by Andrew Curry (www.science.org)6/6/2022 The children living in SOS Children's Villages orphanages in Pakistan have had a rough start in life. Many have lost their fathers, which in conservative Pakistani society can effectively mean losing their mothers, too: Destitute widows often struggle to find enough work to support their families and may have to give up their children.
The orphanages, in Multan, Lahore, and Islamabad, provide shelter and health care and send kids to local schools, trying to provide "the best possible support," says University of Zurich (UZH) physician and neuroscientist Ali Jawaid. "But despite that, these children experience symptoms similar to PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder]," including anxiety and depression. Beyond these psychological burdens, Jawaid wonders about a potential hidden consequence of the children's experience. He has set up a study with the orphanages to probe the disturbing possibility that the emotional trauma of separation from their parents also triggers subtle biological alterations—changes so lasting that the children might even pass them to their own offspring. 1.

Five-Up Dominoes, though uses sequences and patterns of die in order to win, does not solely rely upon it. In this game, the tiles should be strategically placed for all ends to sum up in something that is a multiple of five. When it does so, then you will have a score equivalent to it. For example, if so happen that you placed a double six and your opponent attached a 6-3 to it, then the ends would be equal to 6+6+3 = 15. That is immediately 15 points on his part. If you set 100 points as the maximum, then you should keep on playing new games until one of you reach 100 points. Cultural awareness is the understanding that our own culture differs from one individual and group to the next, and specifically from our target language. Being culturally aware enables us to communicate with people more effectively, beyond words and grammar, by understanding their culture.
Language plays a huge part in building cultural awareness. Being fluent in a foreign language, however, doesn't necessarily mean that you are culturally savvy. This is because there are nuances -- and a whole range of meanings for words -- that native speakers use that you can't learn in school. You can only learn them by understanding the culture. Culture is the collective term used to identify the customs, social behavior, and ideas of a particular people or society; this is created over a long time.

I wake up knackered, and spend each morning limply punching away at the fog inside my skull. I eat lunch knackered, then swear at every inanimate object in front of me. I try not to fall asleep at my desk, then stagger to my sofa, pass out in my clothes and crawl into bed for another night of infuriatingly broken sleep. That is my life. It's not like I even do very much.
I daren't complain about this out loud, of course, because I don't want to get into a game of competitive exhaustion with anyone. I don't want to tell somebody that I had four hours' sleep, because they'll reply that they had only three, plus their mattress caught fire at midnight. Worse, what if they're a new parent? "How are you?" they'll ask. "Bit tired," I'll reply. "Oh yeah?" they'll snap back. "Well, I haven't slept since October because I've been scraping baby diarrhoea off my fridge door with a spatula." You can't win with new parents. I recently read a post about how to give advice. It had some good pointers. But do you know the one thing it didn’t say? That people giving advice should know what they’re talking about.
I don’t know about you, but I get advice from people all the time. Some of it’s good, some of it’s terrible. So how can we know if the advice we get is worth following? [periscope]I’ll be discussing “The Kind of People You Should NEVER Take Advice From” today at 12:30 p.m. CDT on #VirtualMentor.[/periscope] A few weeks ago I was standing in line at the ice cream shop down the street from my house. Someone I know came through the door and we started talking. Before long the topic turned to health, and he started giving me diet advice. Now, my friend is not known for his physical fitness, far from it. So what did I do? I nodded politely and discounted every word. |
