May is Mental Health Awareness Month: COVID may have normalized mental health struggles
May is Mental Health Awareness Month and, according to the World Health Organization, the prevalence of anxiety and depression globally increased by a massive 25% in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic alone. Social isolation was cited as one of the reasons for the increased stress felt by so many during the pandemic. Add in constraints on people’s ability to work or to seek support from loved ones, engage in their communities, loneliness, fear, grief, financial worries and exhaustion from those who work in health care and the perfect storm of a mental health crisis is created. Mental health care providers in Louisiana say they have felt the crisis up close and personal. “The pandemic has challenged the resiliency of people who would previously have had no empathy for anxiety and depression," said Roy Petitfils, LPC, whose counseling practice is based in Lafayette with Pax Renewal Center. Petitfils said the pandemic forced many to deal with realities that were once … [Read more...] about May is Mental Health Awareness Month: COVID may have normalized mental health struggles

Monkeypox: How do you catch it, what are the symptoms, and how easily does it spread?
Monkeypox is very difficult to catch from someone carrying the infection and is mostly caught from infected wild animals in west of central Africa. The illness for most people is mild with full recovery taking up to four weeks, while the chance of catching it in the UK is currently very low. According to the NHS, you can catch monkeypox if you are bitten by an infected animal or if you touch its blood, body fluids, spots, blisters or scabs. Catching it from an infected person is very uncommon, but transmission is possible through touching clothing, bedding, towels or other items used by someone with the rash. Contact with their blisters or scabs or exposure to their coughs or sneezes could also put you at risk.

North Korea bring in the military to distribute COVID drugs as country battles outbreak
North Korea has brought in the military to stabilise its distribution of coronavirus medicine as the country battles its "first" outbreak. Last week, state media acknowledged an "explosive outbreak" with experts warning it could devastate the country which has limited medical supplies and no vaccine programme. Drugs procured by the state were not reaching people quickly or accurately, leader Kim Jong Un told an emergency politburo meeting on Sunday, before visiting pharmacies near the capital's Taedong River, state news agency KCNA said. Kim ordered the immediate deployment of the "powerful forces" of the army's medical corps to "stabilise the supply of medicines in Pyongyang City". Although authorities had ordered the distribution of national reserves of medicine, pharmacies were not well-equipped to perform their functions smoothly, Kim added.

I’ve got natural HH-cup boobs – men ALWAYS make same joke and I have to wear granny bras to fit my ‘cantaloupe melons’
GETTING along at school is hard enough, but for teenager Anya St James there was another big problem to contend with. The young woman was just 13 years old when she first started getting ogled by her classmates, after her B-cups became DDs in the space of a year. The retail worker’s bust continued to bulge “one cup size each year” and now she compares her breasts to “cantaloupe melons”. While many have expressed envy over her big bosom, Anya insists she “doesn’t want them” and would prefer to have smaller boobs so she could fit into nice tops and bras. That’s not all. She’s constantly getting unwanted attention by men , who make crude comments on dating apps and in person too - insisting that they'd love to 'motorboat' her. Anya, 19, from Gold Coast, Queensland, told The Sun: “When I was 14 and clearly underage, a group of adult men walked past and said, ‘Woah, you’ve got a nice pair of t**s love’.

WE can all remember the noughties classic Supernanny, but one woman has shared a sneak peek behind the scenes of the iconic show.

Queen’s priceless reaction when told she’s ‘the heart of the nation’
The Queen was very much on funny form last night, giving a meme-worthy reaction to being told she is ‘the heart of the nation’. From poking fun at American presidents to cutting cakes with swords, the 96-year-old monarch has a legendary humour. And it is no surprise that over her 70-year reign she has probably become immune to flattery. During her Platinum Jubilee celebrations at Windsor Castle yesterday, TV presenter Alan Titchmarsh laid it on thick. He told guests: ‘For 70 years, there has been one constant heartbeat of this nation. And that heart belongs to Her Majesty the Queen.’ As the crowd erupted in cheerful applause, the Queen seemed to nonchalantly nod in agreement – a priceless reaction that went viral on social media. Many viewers turned the hilarious moment into a meme, comparing Her Majesty with Norwich’s finest, Alan Partridge. Andrew Eerington wrote on Twitter ‘Great burn from the Queen’, while another tweet said: ‘The Queen’s reaction is me … [Read more...] about Queen’s priceless reaction when told she’s ‘the heart of the nation’
