With Back To School Comes Back To Sleep

(BPT) - The start of the new school year is the perfect time to renew habits that keep students happy and healthy — including sleep. Unfortunately, many children and teens don't get the amount of sleep they need to thrive at school. One culprit robbing many of their much-needed sleep is right on their phones — a recent survey from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) found that 93% of Gen Z said they've lost sleep because they stayed up “past their bedtime” to view or participate in social media. “Sufficient, healthy sleep is critical for students to excel in schoolwork, sports and extracurricular activities,” said AASM President Jennifer Martin, a licensed clinical psychologist. “When students get proper sleep, they are more optimistic, feel their best, and are better able to co...

When It Comes To Heart Disease The Sex Of Your Cells Matter

Most mammals, including humans, have two sex chromosomes, X and Y. One sex chromosome is usually inherited from each parent, and they pair up as either XX or XY in every cell of the body. People with XX chromosomes typically identify as female, and people with XY chromosomes typically identify as male. The genes on these chromosomes play a key role in development and function – including how heart disease develops. Before I became a biomedical engineer studying how sex chromosomes affect the heart, I learned about one curious function of X chromosomes in my high school science class, with the calico cat example. Female calico cats almost always have orange and black splotches of fur, because the gene that defines coat color is found on the X chromosome. When an orange cat mates with a bl...

YOU’D EXPECT EVERYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF ARIZONA TO BE HOT AND IN THE CASE OF EMMA STONE – YOUR RIGHT

CELEBRITIES From a young age, the freckle-faced coppertop emoted onstage, first in a theater group and then on the small screen, when she won the coveted role of Laurie Partridge in The New Partridge Family (2005). The show didn’t last a season, which was a blessing in disguise, since it allowed the heavenly Emma to guest on other series, as well as land a recurring role on Fox's Drive. Emma exploded into mass consciousness--and caused our masses to explode--with a role in the smash comedy Superbad (2007). Want Free Access to Emma Stone Pics & Clips? She played a hot high schooler, but nudity wasn't in the (report) cards. Emma followed this up with sexy appearances in The House Bunny (2008) and Battle of the Sexes (2017), but at that point the closest she’d come to onscreen nakedness ...

Perfection comes at a price in latest adaptation of Austen’s ‘Emma’

The latest film adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic “Emma” is a visual feast of color, pattern and texture. Emma up front and center in new adaptation of classic novel. Focus Features It’s also a bit too perfect. The colors are too vibrant, the skin too clear, the homes too opulent, the landscapes too gorgeous, the fabrics without any stain or wear. Every frame of director Autumn de Wilde’s version feels like a still-life painting or Instagram-ready photograph. Perfection features explicitly in both de Wilde’s film, which has been given an early digital release as theaters close due to coronavirus concerns, and Austen’s novel. In making Emma too perfect, the film becomes Emma’s fantasy of her own life rather than Austen’s more balanced portrayal of her heroine’s many faults. As an Aust...

Impeachment comes to the Senate

Editor’s Note: The House of Representatives has impeached President Donald Trump. Attention now turns to the Senate. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, is known as a master of the Senate’s rules, and has been raising campaign donations with ads touting the power he would have over impeachment proceedings. Constitutional scholar Sarah Burns from the Rochester Institute of Technology answers some crucial questions already arising about what McConnell might be able to do, to either slow down the process or speed things along. 1. Will the Senate even take up a House impeachment? The Constitution does not give any details about exactly how an impeachment trial should proceed. Instead, the Senate itself has set rules that govern the process. The first of those rules says th...
