Fear, grief and shame. This is what the young people think about climate change and its worsening effect on the planet. In a new climate change survey on young people, it was found that climate change, in fact, has a role to play in their anxiety. Around 60% of young people, who were approached for the survey expressed worry. As per a BBC report, out of those questioned, 45% said that climate change affected their daily lives. While three-quarters of them said the future is frightening, 56% of them said they think humanity is doomed. Meanwhile, two-thirds expressed sadness, fear and anxiety. At the same time, many felt anger, grief and shame. But there was a certain section who were hopeful, as well. One 16-year-old said: It's different for young people - for us, the destruction of the planet is personal. The survey was carried out across 10 countries and was led by Bath University. The survey claims that it is the biggest of its kind as it received responses from more than 10,000 people between 16 and 25. While there were emotions of fear and concern, many felt betrayed, ignored and abandoned by politicians and adults. Caroline Hickman from Bath University told BBC News: This shows eco-anxiety is not just for environmental destruction alone, but inextricably linked to government inaction on climate change. The young feel abandoned and betrayed by governments. We're not just measuring how they feel, but what they think. Four out of 10 are hesitant to have children, she added. The survey added that the youths are perplexed by governments' failure to act, saying, environmental fears are profoundly affecting huge numbers of young people. It maintained that chronic stress over climate change is climbing, reporting a rise in the risk of mental and physical problems. As per the study, weather declining has an effect on mental health. The report maintained that the young are affected by climate change fear as they are developing psychologically, socially and physically problems. Governments need to listen to the science and not pathologise young people who feel anxious, Caroline added. According to a BBC report, this is how young people responded to the questions:,People failed to care for the planet: 83% agreed globally, UK 80%,The future is frightening: 75%, UK 72%,Governments failing young people: 65%, UK 65%,Governments can be trusted: 31%, UK 28%

Many of us face hormonal imbalances in our bodies. Some realise it, some don't. Signs of hormonal imbalance are mood swings, change in sleep pattern, fatigue, headache, memory fog or digestive issues. Before we proceed further, let's understand what hormones are. They are chemical messengers that are secreted directly into the blood. The chemicals are then carried to the organs and tissues of the body for their respective functions. From regulating sleep to the reproductive cycle to metabolism, hormones have several functions. There are 8 common signs of hormonal imbalance. -Insomnia,-Persistent acne/,-Mood swings or depression,-Loss of muslce mass,-Memory fog,-Constant fatigue,-Digestive problems,-Headache,Talking about the hormonal imbalance, Tim Gray, a psychologist specialist, said: Whilst it’s important that we observe our bodies, it’s often hard to understand what’s causing what?. A key issue for hormone imbalance is that the more inflammation you have, the more hormonal issues you need to overcome. Also when cortisol is chronically elevated (through ongoing stress from work, excess gym sessions, stressful relationships, poor sleep, poor nutrition etc) together with higher insulin levels (from eating processed sugar and crappy processed foods) you get huge amounts of inflammation in the gut, Gray added in his Instagram post. The psychologist specialist said that inflammation causes more cortisol, which in turn, hurts the immune system. According to Gray, this is how one can reduce inflammation. - Organic and healthy eating. - Improving sleep cycle. - Proper diet and exercise cycle,- Blocking blue light after sunset helps in producing melatonin that reduces inflammation. - Meditation,- Keep yourself hydrated,Hormonal imbalance symptoms specific to females:,- Heavy or irregular periods,- Hirsutism, or excessive hair on the face, chin,- Hair loss,- Darkening of the skin, especially along neck creases,- Skin tags,Hormonal imbalance symptoms specific to males:,- Gynecomastia, or the development of breast tissue,- Erectile dysfunction (ED),- Decrease in beard growth and body hair growth,- Osteoporosis,- Lack of concentration,- Hot flashes

Utah, USA

Lusia 'Lucy' Harris scripted history when she became the first and only Black woman to play in the NBA in 1977. Brought up in Mississippi, Lusia nurtured her love for basketball by staying up past her bedtime and watching the game on her TV. Lusia started her basketball career as the captain of her high school team, earning the most valuable player three times in a row. At 6 feet 3 inches, in high school, Lusia was often long and tall and that’s all by her classmates. She went on to become a three-time national college champion and an Olympic silver medalist. After her graduation, Lusia continued her career in sports by playing for the women's basketball team for Delta State University. She won the national championship on Women's basketball NCAA Division III. But her major breakthrough came in 1977 when she was drafted by the New Orleans Jazz (now Utah Jazz) in the seventh round of the draft. ,She became the first-ever African American woman to be officially drafted by the NBA. While she was unable to try out for the team due to her pregnancy at the time, she did play for the Houston Angels of the Women’s Professional Basketball League. She was initially picked as the top free agent by the Angels in 1978, in the league's inaugural season. The pick was considered unorthodox by many as there were others who played at very high levels in college before but never grabbed the NBA's attention. ,...Drafted by a Men's team? was a quote from Luisa taken from a Mississippi-based newspaper. However, according to media reports, she was not the first woman to be technically drafted by the NBA. In 1969, the Warriors drafted Denise Long, but this pick was voided by the NBA. With Luisa, the NBA did not discard the draft. For Harris, being drafted by the New Orleans Jazz is just a footnote in her career. She left Delta State with 15 of 18 statistical records, three national titles, a gold medal at the pan-am games, a silver medal in the 1976 Olympic games.

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

India's premier spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was named player of the series for his performance in the concluded two-match Test series between India and New Zealand. After the drawn Kanpur Test, India dominated the tourists in the second Test in Mumbai. They won the match by 372 runs. The highlight of the Test was Ajaz Patel's history-making 10 wickets in an innings performance. He became only the third bowler in the history of Test cricket to achieve that feat after own very own Anil Kumble and England's Jim Laker. Talking about the Test, Ashwin said: I think I've got 10 (Player of the Series awards now). I enjoyed Wankhede honestly, and every day there was something new, and I could challenge both edges. It was a wonderful performance by Ajaz. It doesn't spin all the time in Wankhede, and he used the seam and put the ball in the right places, and there was a bit of destiny involved in his 10-for too, Ashwin said. It was Jayant Yadav who ran through the New Zealand middle-order to hand India a victory before the drinks break. He also registered the first five-wicket haul of his career. Jayant and I have trained together, he flew to Chennai from Haryana in 2014 to pick my mind, so we have a good relation. Axar and I have played since Kings XI, Ashwin said on Jayant. Now, India will shift its focus to the tour of South Africa and Ashwin is positive. I would like to go to South Africa and win a series there, we haven't done that before, and hopefully, we can do it this time, the right-arm bowler said. India captain Virat Kohli lauded India's clinical performance. To come back with a win again, it's a great feeling and a clinical performance. You want individuals to step up. The first Test was good, and it was a clinical performance here. We discussed the performance and the opposition played out a good draw.

Virat Kohli and Co dominated New Zealand in the second and final Test in Mumbai to win the two-match series 1-0. Even though India put up a decent total in the first innings, it was overshadowed by Ajaz Patel's history-making 10-for. In reply, India wrapped up New Zealand for 62 in their first innings and subsequently bowled them out for 167 in the second innings to record a 372-run victory. This was India's biggest-ever margin win on home soil. Commenting on India's match after the drawn Kanpur Test, Virat Kohli, during the post-match presentation, said: To come back with a win again, it's a great feeling and a clinical performance. You want individuals to step up. The first Test was good, and it was a clinical performance here. We discussed the performance and the opposition played out a good draw. The bowlers tried all their best, but the Kiwi batsmen stuck it out really well in Kanpur. Here there was more bounce and the fast bowlers got assistance as well, so it gave us a better chance to win the Test match, Kohli added. The mindset is the same to take Indian cricket forward, even with the new management. It's important to keep the standards of Indian cricket and make sure it's always growing, the Indian test team captain said. India are due to play a series in South Africa later this month. Initially, the series was to begin December 16, but now will be played from December 26, due to the Omicron outbreak. Talking about the challenge, the right-handed batter said: South Africa is a good challenge. We built it up in England and South Africa last time, and Australia was an accumulation of all that experience. South Africa is a tough challenge and a win that we want to achieve as a team. Hopefully, we can play in South Africa the way we know we can play, and win the series, he added.

India decimated New Zealand on the fourth day of the second Test to record a 372-run victory and win the two-match Test series 1-0, on Monday, in Mumbai. It was Jayant Yadav who cleaned up the team's lower-half in a dominating manner. The Test was over before the drinks break. At exactly 10.13 am, 43 minutes to the start of the day, Ravichandran Ashwin (4/34) benefitted from a reflex stumping by Wriddhiman Saha and also completed his 300th wicket on Indian soil to finish the proceedings in a jiffy as New Zealand were all out for 167 in 56.3 overs. The margin of victory is India's highest ever on home soil. For New Zealand who earned a hard-fought Kanpur Test, the extra bounce and turn did pose familiar problems for them.

India vs New Zealand Test series in numbers

The Indian cricket team beat New Zealand by 372 runs on the fourth day of the second Test at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, on Monday. In doing so, the hosts won the two-match Test series 1-0. The Indian spinners had a field day as they picked up wickets at will, running through the middle order and the tail to wrap up the New Zealand innings early. Both Ravichandran Ashwin and Jayant Yadav picked up four wickets apiece. Rachin Ravindra was the first wicket to fall early in the day as India set the ball rolling. Shortly after, Kyle Jamieson departed in search of a big hit. He danced down the wicket, looking to smoke Jayant Yadav for a big one, but the ball kept low and crashed into the stumps. It was only a matter of time before India wrapped things up. For India, the pattern continues. They remain slow starters. They lost the first Test against England at home earlier this year and then went on to lose the WTC final. In perspective, what Virat Kohli had said last time may be true, had India gotten a best of three, results could be different. Likewise, India drew the first Test and won the second, going up the WTC 2023 table. As for New Zealand, they showed grit as they chased a mammoth 540-run target. Only Daryll Mitchell was the one who could counter the Indian spin attack. The rest were temporary stays in the middle. The match ended before drinks. India's decent first innings total was stolen by Ajaz Patel's history-making outing. However, the celebrations lasted only a few minutes because New Zealand found themselves 62-all-out in their second innings. The margin of victory is India's highest ever on home soil. For a team that had fought tooth and nail in Kanpur, the extra bounce and turn did pose familiar problems for the Kiwis in a match they will try to remember for Ajaz Patel's 10-wicket heroics. I think it was good to finish the series as winners, came close in Kanpur, not able to get that last wicket, had to work hard here. This result seems one-sided, but right through the series, we were made to work hard, India coach Rahul Dravid said after the demolition act. There have been phases where we were behind and had to fight back, credit to the team. Great to see the boys stepping up and taking their opportunities, he added. Funnily, Patel bowled 73.5 overs across two innings for New Zealand and his team, in total, batted 84.4 overs which would signify abject capitulation.

India beat New Zealand by 372 runs in 2nd Test; clinch series 1-0

Australia

Joe Root, England cricket team captain, said that his side can beat Australia to lift the elusive title. He further added that he would be foolish to not understand that this series will define him. The right-handed batter is set for the third Ashes tour and the second as captain. This will also be his first overseas tour as captain. The Joe Root-led team, who are being regularly humbled in Australian conditions for the past 30 years, are chasing their first Ashes series win away from home in a decade. Absolutely it is, you look at how hard it has been for English captains and English teams over the years, Root, who led a team that lost 0-4 in Australia's last home Ashes series, said. It's been something that doesn't happen very often. Of course it will define my captaincy - I'm not naive enough to think that it won't - but again, what a great opportunity. He will walk out at the Gabba on Wednesday as the top-ranked Test batter. In a rare form, he has scored 1,455 runs in 12 matches at an average of 66.13 and is set to frog leap Alastair Cook as England's most-capped captain in Sydney during the fourth Test. However, he is yet to hit a ton in Australia and England. When asked whether his team is ready to win big. Yeah, it has to be, absolutely it does. You look at some of the players, some of the individuals, some of the performances guys have put in ... the senior guys have done it time and time again, Root said. The junior guys have shown glimpses of what they can do and their potential. What better stage to really grab a series and make an announcement on the international stage. I'm an Ashes player and I want to live in the history of this great rivalry. That carrot is there for everyone, he added.
