Our Blood Types

The American Psychological Association (APA) defines Eco-Anxiety as a mental health issue due to climate change. This and other existential threats are processed in the anterior cingulate cortex(ACC), a region of our brain that is also responsible for our behaviour.

Eco-Anxiety cannot be treated as it is not a specific mental health problem (yet), and we need to calm our mind by taking affirmative action. We need to concentrate on what can be controlled, taking step-by-step action, no matter how small it is, like recycling or buying second-hand, to minimize our environmental impact on the planet.

• Restrict our news consumption.
• Spend more time with nature
• Read a diverse range of material.
• Spend time with friends and loved ones.
• Be aware of the effects of constant worry on your health.
• Eat healthily.
• Sleep well.
• Get adequate exercise.

In the Middle Age, one only needed to have reached the age for puberty in order to be able to get married.

Furthermore, the parents' approval was not even necessary. However, rules like asking for your landlord's consent or marrying only persons from the same class were given a lot of importance.

Back in the Middle Age, the consent to get married could be either verbal or physical. Sexual intercourse counted as physical consent.

On the other hand, giving your word to marry somebody or offering a gift to that person, even without having a sexual relationship, would also lead to marriage.

The Show About Nothing had no moral lessons. In fact, the characters routinely made bad choices, said the wrong things, and committed a faux pas almost in every episode.

They had a rule for this: No Hugging, No Learning.

In 30 odd minutes, Seinfeld packed more than 20 different scenes. Up to four different stories, which hilariously tied up with each other in the end, were thrown in the air, only to be skillfully caught by the master juggler Larry David (Co-producer and Director).

• The colour-sensitive receptors that humans have, called melanopsin, measure the amount of blue or yellow light in the atmosphere and likewise regulate our circadian rhythm.
• Human beings have Cone Cells, which are of three types, Red, Blue, and Green, and have evolved much later than the receptors in the brain.

• Research proves that the universal emotional responses that we have when we see a colour tend to be the same, even if the actual colour is different, as our conscious perception of those colours varies.
• The day-night cycle of living things is impacted by the ambient light, where the morning yellow light awakens us or makes us feel happy, and the dominance of blue light at night makes us feel sleepy.

In Western culture, people tend to interpret current events negatively, while we tend to remember the positive experiences of the past.

Frightening things have happened in the past too and before the current pandemic, the majority of Americans already believed the country was going downhill.

• According to a 2017 survey, respondents who consumed excessive news reported lost sleep, stress, anxiety, and fatigue.
• In 1968, a study found a direct correlation between time spent watching television and the likelihood that the watcher will perceive the world more dangerous. Viewers who watch violent television shows generally believe violence is common in reality.

However, the effects of media aren't always negative. It depends on the medium of consumption and how you use it. Actively engaging in positive conversations with friends and family can have a positive effect. Lurking or scrolling through updates without engaging has a negative psychological impact.

• 1720s. Scottish doctor William Cullen saw that evaporation had a cooling effect.
• 1748. Cullen demonstrated his ideas by evaporating ethyl ether in a vacuum.
• 1805. Oliver Evans designed a refrigeration machine that used vapor instead of liquid.
• 1820. English scientist Micahel Faraday used liquefied ammonia for cooling.
• 1835. Jacob Perkins, who worked with Evans, patented a vapor-compression cycle using liquid ammonia.
• 1842. John Gorrie, an American doctor, built a machine similar to Evans's design to artificially create ice and cool down patients with yellow fever.
• New and improved refrigeration ideas continued to be developed, including Albert Einstein's idea of an environmentally friendly refrigerator with no moving parts that did not rely on electricity.
• By 1920, refrigerators were considered essential in American homes.

Refrigerators today work by evaporating liquids.

The liquids are pushed through the refrigerator through tubes and begin to vaporize. As the liquids evaporate, they carry heat away with them as the gases travel to a coil outside the refrigerator. Here the heat is released. The gases return to a compressor, where they become liquid again, restarting the cycle.

• Ask yourself if a task can benefit from added time. Those that require creativity, thoughtfulness, or emotion will need a slower response.
• Identify the tasks you can rush through.
• Keep a calendar and to-do list. Externalizing what's cluttering your mind will leave you with energy to channel elsewhere.
