CBT-I administration varied in treatment length and duration across the studies, as did neuroimaging assessment, which included task-based and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Nine studies met current review selection criteria, of which six studies compared insomnia groups with good sleepers, waitlist, and/or control groups. This systematic literature review aimed to evaluate a growing body of exploratory studies that have examined CBT-I treatment effects using neuroimaging assessment.

![]() ![]() Anyway, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the character of Xenophilius Lovegood is described, in appearance and mannerisms, in the same way that Geoffrey Chaucer describes the character of The Pardoner in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. So, okay, the first example that comes to my mind is obviously, of course, a Harry Potter example. It’s also an important stage in understanding a piece of literature because oftentimes it is necessary to see how other works have influenced the author and how different texts are employed in the piece of literature to convey certain meanings. It’s how one text’s meaning is shaped by another text. For those of you who did not have to suffer through an English major, or worse, a Comparative Literature PhD, intertextuality is simply the relationship between different texts. I wanted to draw attention to this connection between Pizzoli’s books and Lobel’s book because, not only is it just interesting and fun to notice the similarities and differences, but it’s also a good way to subtly introduce your child to the concept of intertextuality. And, incidentally, one of Pizzoli’s most recent books, Baloney and Friends, which (and I love this idea) is a graphic novel for younger children, also has a section that’s inspired by the “Tear-water Tea” chapter of Owl at Home. Specifically, Good Night Owl was inspired by the chapter entitled “Strange Bumps” and probably also to a little lesser extent by the chapter entitled “The Guest” in Lobel’s book. ![]() And if you’ve read Owl At Home and then read Good Night Owl, it’s very apparent that Greg Pizzoli found inspiration in many of the scenarios, illustrations, and even some of the turns of phrase that are found in Arnold Lobel’s collection of stories about his Owl. Greg Pizzoli has said in interviews that Owl at Home was and still is one of his favorite children’s books and that he’s been inspired by Arnold Lobel’s work. The reason that I wanted to talk about these two excellent books in tandem today is because one has directly influenced the other. In this episode, we’re going to be talking about two books that my boys love at bedtime and they are … Owl At Home, by Arnold Lobel and Good Night Owl, by Greg Pizzoli. I’ll link them both in the shownotes or you can just go to Episode 15or Episode 16and you’ll find those transcripts. Clark’s more recent book, You Belong Here.

Listen to the Podcast Episode: Books Mentioned in this Episode: It’s key for her success as a reader if your child can start seeing the interconnectivity among books, stories, and characters and start discovering how literature works early on in her reading life. Demonstrating how stories can relate to each other helps to hone your child’s comparison skills and can also help your child later on when she is asked in school to put a work of fiction in historical, social, or literary context. Drawing attention to the connection between books is not only interesting and fun to do as a reader, but it’s also a good way to subtly introduce your child to the concept of intertextuality. We talk about how Greg Pizzoli found inspiration in many of the amusing scenarios, cozy illustrations, and even some of the turns of phrase that are found in Arnold Lobel’s collection of stories about his Owl. SUMMARY:In this third installment of our Bedtime Book Series, we are discussing two excellent, engaging, brain-building bedtime books in tandem: Arnold Lobel’s Owl At Home and Greg Pizzoli’s Good Night Owl because one has directly influenced the other. ![]() ![]() However, turning down your thermostat by just a degree or so can cut your heating bill by 10%, and reduce emissions. That needs to change drastically if we are to limit global warming. In the UK, heating accounts for a third of emissions and in the US around half of homes are heated using gas. In the EU, heating accounts for 63% of household energy consumption. Heating hom es is one of the main sources of emissions, especially in countries where the predominant source of heating is burning fossil fuels. Some changes to your day-to-day activities at home make more difference than others. (Read more about how we can cut down the carbon footprint of our daily commute. In many places, the majority of car journeys are only for relatively short distances, and walking or biking are great alternative which can also help keep you healthy.įor longer journeys (and where it's available), public transport tends to be a far lower carbon option than driving. If you have a car, simply cutting down on how much you use it can be a great first step to reducing your emissions. Private transport is one of the world's largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, and in countries like the UK and the US, the transport sector – dominated by cars, trucks, buses and motorbikes – is now responsible for emitting more greenhouse gases than any other. (Read more about how cutting food waste can help the climate. )Īnother way to make big emissions savings is to avoid food waste, which amounts to 900 million tonnes a year (or 23 million large truckloads a year). (Read more about the climate benefits of veganism and vegetarianism. )Īs Future Planet has investigated, small tweaks to your diet and the way you cook can have a significant payoff – from batch cooking, to focusing on using fewer animal products rather than food miles. (Read more about the lowest-carbon protein. ![]() For example, cow's milk scores worse than plant-based alternatives on land use, greenhouse gas emissions, water use and pollution from fertiliser, while different kinds of protein can also have different emissions. If everyone in the world shifted to a plant-based diet, it would free up 75% of the world's agricultural land for other uses – such as a range of biodiverse and carbon-capturing ecosystems.īut even if you don't go entirely plant-based, switching individual foods for a lower-carbon option is one way to reduce emissions from your diet. Switching to a plant-based diet could save you around 0.8 tonnes of CO2e each year. (Read more about the fastest way s aviation could cut its carbon emissions. Meanwhile, larger planes could switch to alternative fuels such as biofuels, synthetic fuels made from renewable energy or, in the very long term, hydrogen. Norway, for instance wants all short-haul flights leaving its airports to be electricity - powered by 2040. Smaller planes could soon fly on electric engines. )Ĭhanging the way some aircraft are powered could also soon be within reach. (Read more about how you can reduce your emissions from flying. Flying economy also tends to be far lower emission than flying business or first class. Or you could try to fly half as often for twice as long. You could try taking the train or bus, which have far lower emissions, one or both ways instead. But decreasing the demand for flights is entirely possible, and doesn't mean you can't travel. A return flight from London to New York, for example, emits almost a tonne of CO2, and the climate impact is even larger due to other non-CO2 emissions from aircraft.Ī blanket ban on flying would be unthinkable, of course. While emissions from aviation overall are relatively small, each flight emits a lot of greenhouse gases. Despite a downturn due to the pandemic, its emissions are now on the rise again. From 2013 to 2019, emissions from the aviation sector grew 30%, according to a report by the International Council on Clean Transportation. Īviation contributes around one billion tonnes of CO2 emissions every year. If all flights on Earth were suddenly stopped, it would in an instant halt at least 2.5% of all CO2 emissions. ![]() This Earth Day, Future Planet examines some of the most impactful, immediate changes you can make today to help lower your emissions. Much of the change needed to curb climate change quickly goes well beyond what any individual can do – from improving renewable energy infrastructure, to a rapid phase-out of fossil fuels. Uppermost in the minds of many is climate change – and the need to rapidly cut global greenhouse gas emissions. ![]() Many millions of people around the world are expected to participate in Earth Day on Saturday in support of environmental protection. ![]() ![]() Guests at the new Whiskey Cake restaurant will have the opportunity to enjoy brunch favorites, including Bacon-Jalapeño Drop Biscuits, Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, and Whiskey Braised Short Rib Hash every weekend. ![]() Whiskey Cake uses slow-cooking methods on a live wood grill, smoker and spit because everything tastes better that way.

Hey, maybe it’s the very obvious villain you were planning to out as a drug dealer? Jasper’s Hollywood sign suicide attempt Luckily for Jasper, Navid suffers a bout of the old I’ve-fallen-down-one-flight-of-stairs amnesia, which affects his post-incident life in no other way than a complete and total blank on who pushed him down the stairs. To be fair, Jasper is a bit of a prick – remember when he pushes Navid down a flight of stairs just because Navid publicly accuses him of being a drug dealer? Navid getting amnesia after Jasper pushes him down the stairs Like, the denouement of this storyline is that she has the courage to confess to Liam that she killed Jasper’s uncle, right after dumping Jasper post-suicide attempt. I mean yeah, she feels bad about it and guilt-fucks his creepy nephew because of it, but ultimately she gets off pretty lightly. Speaking of, how about Annie’s ‘Oops, I ran over a homeless person!’ storyline He crashed his car into her, forgot who she was when he bumped into her at school, then swiftly dated her for a brief period before getting bored and opting for Silver instead because who gives a shit about Rhonda, right?

With taboos over mental illness ever-present, many resist seeking help.The face of a man who’s well and truly lost all purpose For young celebrities, especially, agencies are known to often dictate everything from where they live to what they eat to who they can date and what they wear. With the Korean entertainment industry being particularly cutthroat and competitive, there’s a considerable pressure to project a perfect image to the public at all times. Their reasons included “unprotected privacy, malicious comments, unstable incomes and anxiety about the future.” In 2009, Korean actress Park Jin Hee conducted her own survey of her peers for a thesis paper and found that, of the 260 actors she spoke with, 40 per cent had thought of dying “because it’s too tiring to live.” Meanwhile, 30 per cent said they had seriously considered committing suicide before. Liu cited a gruelling training and performance schedule and significant pressure by the industry and fans as reasons for why she and her bandmates found the stress of being in a pop group difficult over the years. ![]() Because if I post that I’m depressed, nobody’s going to want to see that.” … Of course I’m going to post happy things on social media.

Situated right in the center of Louisville (at 1841 Talor Ave.), the Mega Cavern used to be a limestone mine. The Mega Cavern is actually a building, not a cavern. It consists of very large chambers and long passageways and covers over nearly 53,000 acres (21,000 ha). It’s almost twice as long as its underwater contender, Sac Actun, in Mexico. The Mammoth system is a very stable limestone system, attracting over half a million visitors each year. It’s mainly located in Edmonson County, central Kentucky.

So it’s a kind of selection process in which the ‘worthy’ cavers gain access to these caves, and people that aren’t as serious or involved don’t.

It will, however, give you an idea of how many caves there are and what to look for. Disturbing their rest will harm them.įYI: I won’t give any exact locations (roads or GPS) for these caves, as this goes against the Cavers Code of Conduct (meaning: you should try and find them yourself – that’s the sport). Also, please leave any cave you find bats in during this period. Therefore most of these caves are closed from September 15 – April 15. You should never go in alone.Īlso, it means that bats will use them to hibernate. Generally, there’s no human infrastructure build around them, meaning they can be dangerous.
