Beyond the immediate physical discomfort and exhaustion, these intense periods of heat are increasingly affecting our mental well-being and overall mood. To understand the psychological impact of prolonged high temperatures and explore strategies for maintaining balance, The Independent spoke with Dr Ravi Gill, a practitioner psychologist. Can heatwaves impact our mood? Physiological changes in the body and brain due to heat can significantly affect mood during a heatwave. “Heat disrupts neurotransmitter systems (serotonin), impairs sleep and raises stress hormones like cortisol, which are key regulators of mood and impulse control,” says Gill.

One man once remarked that he understood that I was a feminist, but “why do you have to be so angry about it?” My natural response to that was to shrug and say: but of course I’m angry. The real question I wanted to ask is: why aren’t you? I am here for all of the angry women; the incandescent, fire-lit women; the “hysterical” women – and did you know that the origin of the word “hysteria” comes from the ancient Greek word hystera, meaning uterus, or womb? For thousands of years, male physicians would attribute any unexplained emotional outbursts in women – including fainting and physical ailments – …

An organizer with the group Moms Clean Air Force, Black has plenty of experience struggling for environmental justice throughout her home state — but when a proposed data centered forced the fight onto her own doorstep, she won in a round-one knockout. A 64-year old activist, Black first got her start organizing when two of her four children were diagnosed with asthma related to environmental factors and multiple sclerosis, People reported. After learning about the a data center proposal on a plot of land 12 miles away from her home, she was horrified. “When you speak about wanting changes for cleaner air, and you have a child who’s impacted, it hits differently,” she told the magazine. “It’s gut-wrenching, and knowing too that these data centers primarily are using fossil fuels. It’s really disappointing and it’s scary.” Black started a Facebook group to inform the public about the development, …

Judge’s daughter stabbed to death by angry partner, court told | UK News

Published by Sam Flores

A judge’s daughter was allegedly stabbed to death by her “angry” partner who then triggered a gas explosion while trying to blow up their home in north London, a court has heard. Clifton George, 45, is accused of murdering Annabel Rook, 46, during an argument at their home in Stoke Newington on 17 June last year. George has admitted responsibility for her death by pleading guilty to manslaughter, but denies murdering Ms Rook, who was the daughter of retired Old Bailey judge Peter Rook. It is said George took a knife from the kitchen into the living room to stab Ms Rook. He then started a fire in the property, setting a gas canister alight and triggering “an enormous explosion”, the court was told. Opening the case at Snaresbrook Crown Court, London, on Wednesday, prosecutor William Emlyn Jones KC said the stabbing happened amid the couple’s crumbling relationship, and after Ms Rook had told George to leave their home. Mr Emlyn Jones told the court: “On the night of June 16 and 17 last year, …

Prosecutors Say Arson Suspect in Los Angeles’ Palisades Fire Was Angry ‘At the World’

Published by Sam Flores

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The man accused of sparking the deadly Palisades Fire in Los Angeles was upset that he didn’t have plans for New Year’s Eve and ranted about being angry at the world before the initial blaze was sparked, according to court documents filed by prosecutors. Rinderknecht’s trial is set to begin June 8. His attorneys say he is being used as a scapegoat for the Los Angeles Fire Department’s failure to fully extinguish the earlier blaze. An outline of the prosecutors’ strategy — with details about the defendant’s alleged state of mind on the night before the first fire began — appears in an April 29 pretrial memo filed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Witnesses reported that Rinderknecht had been driving erratically while on Uber routes around the Palisades on New Year’s Eve, said prosecutors. His passengers described him as “angry, intense, driving erratically, and ranting about being ‘pissed off at the world,’” the memo said. According to court filings, Rinderknecht ranted to passengers about accused UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter Luigi Mangione, capitalism …

The 2 Words You Never, Ever Want To Say To An Angry Person

Published by Sam Flores

The last thing that most of us want to deal with is an angry person in our face. But chances are, sooner or later, it’s going to happen. So what do we do? And, maybe more importantly, what shouldn’t we do? Those are some of the questions that Raj Punjabi and Noah Michelson, the co-hosts of HuffPost’s “Am I Doing It Wrong?” podcast, recently posed to Ryan Martin, better know as the Anger Professor, to find out how to “do anger better.” Listen to the full episode for tips on how to deal with anger by clicking here. “You had a great tweet,” Michelson said during the conversation. “You said something like, ‘Never in the history of “calm downs’ has ‘calm down’ calmed down someone.’ So I’m guessing ‘calm down’ is not the thing you want to say.” “I think ‘relax’ is even worse,” Punjabi added. “No, ‘relax’ has never relaxed anyone,” agreed Martin, a psychology professor and an associate dean for the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. “This is …

(Corrects spelling of name in paragraph 3 to Shloime from Shilome) By Marissa Davison and Ben ⁠Makori LONDON, ⁠April 30 (Reuters) – Scared, angry at the government, and ⁠wondering whether they need to leave the country, British Jews in the north London suburb of Golders Green were reeling ​a day after an attacker stabbed two men in the street. Members of the Jewish community said they were looking for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to show he can address the ‌root causes of increasingly frequent antisemitic attacks and keep ‌them safe. “People are really concerned, people are afraid, people are uncomfortable walking in the street, people are blaming obviously the government for not doing anything about what’s going on,” ⁠Shloime Rand, one ⁠of the men stabbed on Wednesday, told ITV News. Both victims are in a stable condition. Wednesday’s stabbing was ​the most serious and violent in a spate of recent attacks aimed at Jews in London, and comes less than a year after a deadly attack at a synagogue in Manchester.
