“Overall, our results showed that, while real-world social networks were positively associated with overall well-being, the use of Facebook was negatively associated with overall well-being,” the team wrote in a Harvard Business Review article. “These results were particularly strong for mental health; most measures of Facebook use in one year predicted a decrease in mental health in a later year.”

But what is it about Facebook that damages your emotional health so much?
Past studies have shown that social media creates a kind of fake peer pressure. And since most people avoid posting about negative or troubling experiences, Facebook creates a false environment where everyone seems to be doing much better and having much more fun in their life than you are.
As the researchers described it,
“Exposure to the carefully curated images from others’ lives leads to negative self-comparison.”
But where does that leave the app’s ability to connect you to your loved ones and help you find people who you’ve long lost touch with?
There are plenty of studies that confirm having a social circle as well as an active social life results in stronger health and better chances for longevity. The team wanted to find out whether a virtual life and community could grant us the same benefits.

Greed And Stupidity of Humans Make Them The Greatest Threat To Earth according to Stephen Hawking
The extraordinary physicist has warned humanity many times that we are putting ourselves in danger every day. But are we going to listen?
Stephen Hawking’s words will be accurate long after he had left this world.
In 2016, during an interview on Larry King Now, Hawking said that human greed and stupidity play a huge role in threatening our planet, just as pollution does. One of the most brilliant minds of the universe was certain that pollution itself was not the only thing putting our world in danger. As USA Today quotes, he explained:
“We certainly have not become less greedy or less stupid. The population has grown by half a billion since our last meeting, with no end in sight. At this rate, it will be eleven billion by 2100.”
By “our last meeting” Hawking refers to the previous time he was invited to the Larry King’s show. The period between the two interviews was six years. The theoretical physicist emphasized that in those six years, humanity has not made any significant improvements. He said:
“Air pollution has increased over the past five years. More than 80% of inhabitants of urban areas are exposed to unsafe levels of air pollution.”
According to Stephen Hawking, the biggest problem in the world is climate change.
The brilliant mind even shared that he wonders if we are past the point of no return.
“Will we be too late to avoid dangerous levels of global warming?”
Throughout his life, Stephen Hawking has earned the right to be a trustworthy source of valuable knowledge. He was not only an ingenious theoretical physicist but also an outstanding cosmologist and an admirable mathematician. Therefore, the least we can do to honor this remarkable man is to listen to his alarming predictions.

iheartintelligence--2020-11-16--Don’t Teach Children To Never Be Angry – Teach Them How To Be Angry

A child ’ s emotional needs are just as important as their physical ones .
Parents know that it is their duty to put a roof over their children ’ s heads and to make sure that they are always fed and clothed .
Of course , every child needs and deserves a parent who will go out of their way to ensure that they are physically safe and secure .
However , what many parents do not know is that , in addition to a child ’ s physical needs , their emotional needs must also be fulfilled .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ do everything in their power to take care of their children ’ s physical needs , they often emotionally neglect them .
Many do so unintentionally as they are not aware of how children ’ s emotional needs must be approached or fulfilled .
For this reason , many children grow up not knowing how to manage their emotions .
What are a child ’ s emotional needs ?
According to the parenting expert and family therapist Meri Wallace LCSW , ‘ Children come into the world with certain basic emotional needs : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need for a positive self-esteem .
As a parent , it is your job to be aware of these needs , and communicate with your child in a way that will support your child ’ s positive growth.
’ Therefore , it is a parent ’ s duty to not only provide for and take care of the physical safety of their child but to also pay attention to their emotions and their needs .

8 things you should do to teach your children how to manage their emotions .
1 .
Ask them how they feel .
Parents who emotionally neglect their children rarely ask them how they feel .
A child needs to know that they can safely share their feelings ; moreover , by asking them how they feel , you are encouraging them to look inward and become more self-aware .
Being self-aware and knowing how to label your feelings is important as it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of who they are .
2 .
Do not make them think that certain emotions are ‘ bad ’ .
Teaching your children to suppress their anger can have many negative effects .
If a child grows up thinking that certain emotions are ‘ bad ’ , they may grow up believing that there is something wrong with them for feeling these emotions .
Instead of teaching your child to suppress these emotions , teach them how to manage them .
3 .
Teach them the importance of positive self-talk .
Let your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to themselves .
Remind them how important it is to talk positively about their abilities and appearances .

Although it will be difficult , it is your job as a parent to be willing to talk about things that may be uncomfortable .
Let your children know that they are not alone and that you will always be there to listen .
5 .
Let them express themselves .
Sometimes , children find it easier to express themselves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

Everybody needs an outlet for their emotions .
6 .
Explain how you handle your emotions .
Talk to them about how you manage and control your feelings .
For example , let them know what breathing techniques you use when you get anxious or how you handle your anger so that you do not unintentionally hurt your loved ones .
More @ @ @ @ @ @ @ observing .
This means that if they see you lashing out and overreacting when you get angry , they are probably going to grow up to do so too .
If you take control of your emotions and ensure that you handle feelings in a healthy way , your children will learn from the examples you set .
8 .
Find a way to explain emotions in a way they find relatable .
Try using examples from the books and shows they like to make difficult emotions more relatable and easy to understand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on a show they watch , explain what they are seeing and ask how it makes them feel .
Knowing how to manage your emotions can help make your life easier .
Teach your children how to control and handle their feelings to ensure their healthy growth and development .

Being self-aware and knowing how to label your feelings is important as it allows one to gain a better understanding of who they are.
2. Do not make them think that certain emotions are ‘bad’.
Teaching your children to suppress their anger can have many negative effects. If a child grows up thinking that certain emotions are ‘bad’, they may grow up believing that there is something wrong with them for feeling these emotions. Instead of teaching your child to suppress these emotions, teach them how to manage them.
3. Teach them the importance of positive self-talk.
Let your children know that they should be kind to themselves. Remind them how important it is to talk positively about their abilities and appearances. Moreover, teach them how to motivate themselves when times are difficult and stressful.
4. Talk about uncomfortable emotions.
Although it will be difficult, it is your job as a parent to be willing to talk about things that may be uncomfortable. Let your children know that they are not alone and that you will always be there to listen.
5. Let them express themselves.
Sometimes, children find it easier to express themselves and their emotions in more creative ways. In other words, they may play an instrument, paint, draw, or write. Allow them to do what makes them feel comfortable and at ease. Everybody needs an outlet for their emotions.
6. Explain how you handle your emotions.
Talk to them about how you manage and control your feelings. For example, let them know what breathing techniques you use when you get anxious or how you handle your anger so that you do not unintentionally hurt your loved ones.
7. Set a good example emotionally.
More often than not, children learn by observing. This means that if they see you lashing out and overreacting when you get angry, they are probably going to grow up to do so too. If you take control of your emotions and ensure that you handle feelings in a healthy way, your children will learn from the examples you set.
8. Find a way to explain emotions in a way they find relatable.
Try using examples from the books and shows they like to make difficult emotions more relatable and easy to understand. If they see someone expressing anger on a show they watch, explain what they are seeing and ask how it makes them feel.
Knowing how to manage your emotions can help make your life easier. Teach your children how to control and handle their feelings to ensure their healthy growth and development.

Man, 23, is banned from keeping pets for verbally abusing his Rottweiler https://t.co/HiGmM5f984 — Daily Mail U.K. (@DailyMailUK) November 15, 2020
In addition to a five-year ban on having pets that cannot be appealed for three years, Joshua has been given a six-week-long curfew.
He also has to go through a 20-day rehabilitation and was fined £200 costs and a £90 victim surcharge.
Lulu has been given to the Bristol Animal Rescue Center.
Staff say she is a wonderful dog strongly attached to her caregiver and she will need time to adapt to her new situation before she finds a new family.
RSPCA inspector Miranda Albinson said:
“Throughout these recordings the male, who can be heard, is clearly angry and can be heard yelling at the dog.”
Joshua denied that he physically abused his dog, but admitted that his actions were inappropriate and that they caused Lulu emotional pain.
Veterinarian David Martin said:
“It is my expert opinion that undoubtedly Lulu suffered as a result of mental fear and terror as a result of the verbal abuse from Mr Ponsford as demonstrated on the audio recordings. It is well known and understood by the public that dogs respond to the tone and volume of the voice and that dogs are susceptible and will suffer from fear and distress if verbally abused particularly if this is recurrent or long lasting.

iheartintelligence--2020-11-17--Here is why being grumpy and bad-tempered actually pays off

Here is why being grumpy and bad-tempered actually pays off Could a grumpy attitude be the secret to success ?
Let ’ s find out !
Be positive .
Smile more .
Look on the bright side .
These days , suchlike happiness-promoting messages are everywhere around us .
You can literally hire an expert to teach you how to be happy .
But is happiness the only thing we should be striving for in life ?
What happens if you are a naturally grouchy person ?
Well , when it comes to personal success , some researches suggest that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Others imply that people with cynical personality features also have a longer life-span .
Therefore , being a grumpy-head might turn out to be a beneficial trait .
For instance , as Pocket Worthy notes , many well-known geniuses , such as Beethoven and Newton , are often short-tempered and experience intense grudges and tantrums .
Modern-day visionary leaders make no exception .
So , is there a link between outrage and success ?
In a 2011 study , psychologists at the University of Amsterdam and the University of Groningen in The Netherlands @ @ @ @ @ @ @ angry people .
They found out that anger increased both the participants ’ creativity and productivity .
Compared to systematic thinkers , furious ones showed better results in unstructured thinking and generating innovative ideas .
Matthijs Baas , a leading author of the research , said : Which is better – to bottle up your anger or to let it all out ?
Repressing feelings is bad for your health .
This theory was considered back when the notable Greek philosopher Aristotle researched the effects of cathartic experiences .
Coining the term “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who were able to express their negative feelings freely could cleanse themselves of these hostile emotions .
Sigmund Freud was also a supporter of the Greek philosopher ’ s conjecture .
Freud believed that catharsis could play an important role in relieving symptoms of distress .

In recent years , experts continue to investigate whether bottling up emotions is detrimental to one ’ s health .

The Dutch psychologists ’ findings suggested that suppressed anger increased the likelihood of having a heart attack than anger by nearly threefold .
Similar discoveries imply that letting it all out is much more advantageous than holding it in when it comes to overwhelming emotions .
Could anger be beneficial for your social status ?

Here is why being grumpy and bad-tempered actually pays off
Here is why being grumpy and bad-tempered actually pays off
Could a grumpy attitude be the secret to success? Let’s find out!
Be positive. Smile more. Look on the bright side. These days, suchlike happiness-promoting messages are everywhere around us. You can literally hire an expert to teach you how to be happy. But is happiness the only thing we should be striving for in life?
What happens if you are a naturally grouchy person? Well, when it comes to personal success, some researches suggest that pessimists are more profitable than optimists. Others imply that people with cynical personality features also have a longer life-span. Therefore, being a grumpy-head might turn out to be a beneficial trait.
For instance, as Pocket Worthy notes, many well-known geniuses, such as Beethoven and Newton, are often short-tempered and experience intense grudges and tantrums. Modern-day visionary leaders make no exception.
So, is there a link between outrage and success?
In a 2011 study, psychologists at the University of Amsterdam and the University of Groningen in The Netherlands examined the “creative production” of angry people. They found out that anger increased both the participants’ creativity and productivity. Compared to systematic thinkers, furious ones showed better results in unstructured thinking and generating innovative ideas.
Matthijs Baas, a leading author of the research, said:
“Anger really prepares the body to mobilise resources – it tells you that the situation you’re in is bad and gives you an energetic boost to get you out of it.”
Which is better – to bottle up your anger or to let it all out?
Repressing feelings is bad for your health. This theory was considered back when the notable Greek philosopher Aristotle researched the effects of cathartic experiences. Coining the term “catharsis,” Aristotle theorized that people who were able to express their negative feelings freely could cleanse themselves of these hostile emotions.
Sigmund Freud was also a supporter of the Greek philosopher’s conjecture. Freud believed that catharsis could play an important role in relieving symptoms of distress. However, he focused mainly on the cathartic benefits of the therapist’s couch.
In recent years, experts continue to investigate whether bottling up emotions is detrimental to one’s health. In 2010, psychologists at Tilburg University in The Netherlands analyzed the way suppressed anger affects patients with coronary artery disease, as this negative emotion is closely related to cardiovascular stress reactivity.
The Dutch psychologists’ findings suggested that suppressed anger increased the likelihood of having a heart attack than anger by nearly threefold. Similar discoveries imply that letting it all out is much more advantageous than holding it in when it comes to overwhelming emotions.
Could anger be beneficial for your social status?
Aggression is often triggered by the feeling that someone does not value you or your interests as much as you wish them to. In fact, the mimicks we make while in rage may help increase our physical strength in the eyes of our opponent. According to a 2014 research, “the muscle movements that constitute the human facial expression of anger were selected because they increased others’ assessments of the angry individual’s strength, thereby increasing bargaining power.”
In relation to the theory that grumpiness may be beneficial, Joseph Forgas, a social psychologist, says:
“Negative moods indicate we’re in a new and challenging situation and call for a more attentive, detailed and observant thinking style.”
Are grumpy people more honest towards others?
When it comes to fairness, studies suggest that grouchy individuals tend to be more candid than optimistic ones. This point was looked through in a 2016 research that experiments with basic emotions and their response to unfair offers. The feelings that were examined were disgust, sadness, anger, fear, happiness, surprise, and neutral.
Playing the “ultimatum game,” the participants showed that most of those who were previously triggered by negative emotions rejected the wrongful offers. The results indicate that feelings, including anger, sadness, and disgust, intensify our sense of fairness.
But does this imply that happiness is bad?
When we are happy, we experience feelings of safety, which reduce our ability to identify threats. Therefore, we are more likely to misjudge a situation and get ourselves in trouble.
In another study, Forgas pursues the issue: “Are we more likely to believe or disbelieve another person depending on our mood state?” The results showed that positive people are more “more trusting and gullible” than the ones with a negative mood.
Furthermore, Gabriele Oettingen, a psychologist from New York University, issued that being optimistic about the future hides serious threats. Her research states:
“Positive thinking can be detrimental to effort and success if it comes in the form of fantasies (free thoughts and images about the desired future) rather than beliefs (expectations).”
In other words, the psychologist stresses that the popular phrase “dream it and you’ll get it” is quite problematic, as daydreamers do not invest enough energy in turning their ideas into reality.
Oettingen found a similar tendency while comparing positive to negative media content. She concluded that the more optimistic the content, the more performance declined.
So, feeling as if your glass is half empty and nothing goes right might turn out to be much more beneficial than being cheerful and buzzing around. Of course, pursuing happiness and fulfillment is also an amazing journey. Though, it clearly isn’t the only thing we should be striving for at all costs.

Matt Bertone, an Extension Associate in Entomology at North Carolina State University, explains why it is important not to kill a spider when you see one.
We have all seen spiders inside our homes at least once in our lives. That’s because many of these little creatures actually “enjoy the great indoors,” Bertone jokingly says. Additionally, in a bid to highlight spiders’ advantages, the entomologist notes that not only are they secretive and non-violent, but the arachnids may also be helpful in reducing pests.
In a 2016 study named “Arthropods of the great indoors,” Bertone and colleagues investigated 50 North Carolina homes to find which species prefer living indoors. During their examination, the scientists discovered that there were spiders in every single house they went to.
Cobweb and cellar spiders were amongst the most common ones found in the North Carolina homes. Both species build webs where they patiently wait for their prey to get caught. Interestingly, cellar spiders even hunt other spiders by “mimicking prey to catch their cousins for dinner.”

What’s more, they also capture disease-carrying insects such as mosquitoes. In fact, some arachnids prefer to nibble on blood-filled mosquitoes in African homes. This makes them a valuable predator to have around the house.
While defending the eight-legged creatures, Bertone also notes that fearing them is absolutely normal. He even notes that arachnophobia, fear of spiders, can also be seen in some professional entomologists. However, the expert points out that the tiny insects “actually prefer to avoid humans.” Advising the ones who still get petrified by seeing a spider, the NCSU associate remarks:
“If you truly can’t stand that spider in your house, apartment, garage, or wherever, instead of smashing it, try to capture it and release it outside. It’ll find somewhere else to go, and both parties will be happier with the outcome.”
And for those who don’t mind having a little buddy cuddled up in their livingroom’s corner, Bertone says:
“It’s OK to have spiders in your home. In fact, it’s normal. And frankly, even if you don’t see them, they’ll still be there. So consider a live-and-let-live approach to the next spider you encounter.”
