Every year around exam time stress and sleepless nights often consume most teenagers. Rather than expending their break-time appropriately to exercise, take a walk or sleep well in time teenager’s end up resorting to unhealthier options, such as taking-in higher levels of caffeine and overspending time with ‘gadget friends’ for surfing social media or communicating with friends via WhatsApp. This invariably triggers odd sleeping patterns and behavioral changes among teenagers, which ultimately restricts them from getting sufficient time to rest or take a nap. In doing so, teenagers actually miss-out on utilizing the valuable break-time for reviving their energy levels, by engaging in activities that encourage relaxation of mind and body. Scientific research reveals that on average teenagers require a well-timed sleep for 8-10 hours to get through the day effectively.However, teens do not get this required amount of sleep owing to several reasons. These include – quickly changing body clock, incorrect understanding of sleep, and pressure from school, home or their environment, technology (phones, tablets) and so forth.An unhealthy sleeping pattern can leave a lasting negative impact on a teenager’s daily life and lead to problems like emotional imbalance, narcolepsy, and circadian rhythm disorders among others.Too much of inactivity along with sleep deprivation can lead to obesity and serious disorders like sleep apnea – which impact many vital organs of the body and impact memory, concentration ability – and also predispose the child to problems like depression, metabolic disorders and heart problems at a later ageadvertisement While the biological clock in teens changes every now and then, through individual efforts they can synchronize the clock to match the required pace by ensuring a good sleep-wake balance combined with a scheduled lifestyle and a healthy diet & exercise regimen. It is really easy to obtain quality sleep by following good sleep hygiene practices by:Going to bed and waking up at a scheduled time Maintaining the recommended sleep duration Exercising regularly Eating healthy meals Avoiding consumption of caffeine, alcohol, tobacco and similar hazards Engaging in recreational activities like playing a sport A good sleep is extremely important at every stage of life for good health. Following these recommended practices teenagers will not only be able to sleep comfortably but also benefit by deriving maximum of their true potential to progress in life.Authored article : Dr. Bhaskar Azad, Clinical Head, ResMed Academy India

Getty Images Tottenham Hotspur Swansea City v Tottenham Hotspur Premier League Ahead of his side’s trip to Swansea City next week, the midfielder believes he has not discovered a return to his best form Tottenham star Dele Alli said he is not fazed by public perception of his form, following a match-winning Boxing Day performance against Southampton.Providing a goal and two assists in their 5-2 Premier League win on Tuesday, Alli was pivotal as Spurs kept pace for Champions League places.Despite volatile showings against Burnley and Manchester City, though, the England midfielder insisted his form is not fluctuating.

A Liverpool legend in the making: Behind Virgil van Dijk’s remarkable rise to world’s best player “We speak a lot, the manager and myself, and my form is not really something I think about too much,” Alli said. “But it’s always nice to prove people wrong.”At 21-years-of-age when you set your standards as high as I did the last two years it’s not always the case that you’re going to reach them all the time.”In three appearances in the Champions League this season, Alli has notched up two goals and three assists.His goal against Southampton was the first in 10 matches. However, according to Alli, goals and assists are not the sole indicators of performance.”Some people think if you’re not scoring or assisting you’re playing badly, but I think I criticise myself all the time,” he said. “I think it’s just working on myself and my own game.”As players we’re not too worried about what people are saying, as long as the people close to you, around you and your team-mates are speaking highly and you’re doing what the team wants, that’s all you need to think about.”Sitting a point off fourth-placed Liverpool, Spurs travel to lowly Swansea City next week.

Getty Transfers Nice France v Italy Italy France Friendlies Mario Balotelli The striker said he is focused on the week ahead, and has no idea what his future holds. Mario Balotelli says he prefers not to think too far ahead in regards to his future, and does not know what is ahead for him.The Italy international has made a strong go of it the past two seasons with Nice, scoring 33 goals in Ligue 1 over that span.His strong form in France, along with the ascension of Balotelli’s former manager Robert Mancini with Italy, has seen the striker return to the national team and score a goal against Saudi Arabia in the process.

However, in an interview with Nice’s club website, Balotelli admitted he does not know what the future holds and that his focus is on a week-to-week basis.“I never really think about [the future],” Balotelli told the club’s website. “I don’t want to think too far [ahead].“I want to concentrate on what comes during the week. Next week, I will think about next week. After, I will think about the week after.“To be honest, I know nothing about my future.”One thing Balotelli did say was that he did not feel he needed to go to a place where he was the biggest name. Instead, he pointed to his experience with star studded sides as proof he is content playing second fiddle.“I always play in teams where there were a lot of stars,” Balotelli said. “I think it’s nice to [be the star of the team], but it’s not so important to me.”Balotelli and Italy will be back in action on June 1 against France and then round off their summer friendlies against the Netherlands on June 4.
After being sent off in Australia’s Round of 16 loss to Norway at the Women’s World Cup, Matildas centre-back Alanna Kennedy has hit out at the standard of refereeing at the tournament. Kennedy was shown a straight red card in extra time on Sunday to the shock of fans and players alike.VAR did review the incident but the defender was still given her marching orders for a challenge she clearly believes didn’t warrant a red card.

I had full belief in the girls that they would get through.”I am really proud of them for gritting it out and at least get to penalties. When you get to penalties anything can happen and that’s a bit of luck. “I am so proud of them for the fight we showed throughout the whole tournament and we showed a lot of character. Maybe we didn’t play our best football, but the character and mentality within our team is admirable and I am happy to be part of this team.”

The CFATF is an organisation of 25 States of the Caribbean Basin, Central and South America that have agreed to implement common countermeasures to address money laundering. Minister without Portfolio in the Ministry of Finance and the Public Service, Hon. Fayval Williams, says Jamaica is taking steps to increase its voice in the Caribbean on matters relating to the financial sector.In that regard, Mrs. Williams is to head a Jamaican delegation to the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) to accelerate the country’s representation to the body.The CFATF is an organisation of 25 States of the Caribbean Basin, Central and South America that have agreed to implement common countermeasures to address money laundering.Addressing the opening of the 7th Annual Anti-Money Laundering/Counter-Financing of Terrorism Conference, at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel in New Kingston on Tuesday (October 2), Mrs. Williams informed that Jamaica has sought and obtained a seat on the CFATF’s influential Steering Committee to increase its participation in the work of that body and, consequently, the wider Financial Action Task Force (FATF) global network.The FATF is an intergovernmental organisation based in France, which was established to combat money laundering and terrorism financing.“I will seek to advance certain issues that are of benefit to Jamaica, including de-risking issues, regulatory regimes for emerging technologies, and financial inclusion,” Mrs. Williams noted.In the meantime, the Minister said the Government is continuing its work to reform and strengthen Jamaica’s anti-money laundering/counter-financing of terrorism framework to comply with global standards.“Currently, new amendments are being proposed to the Proceeds of Crime Act, the Terrorism Prevention Act and the United Nations Security Council Resolution (Implementation) Act; as well as to the Microcredit Act. These amendments will address technical deficiencies outlined in the Mutual Evaluation Report of Jamaica carried out by the CFATF, and will complement enacted legislation and amendments,” Mrs. Williams said.She noted that it is critical that these laws be passed by next May, “to demonstrate to the FATF our commitment to meet the global standards”.Mrs. Williams praised the organisers of the conference for their consistency in “keeping the critical issue of (banking) compliance front and centre”.“Banking compliance both strengthens and protects Jamaica’s financial system whilst contributing to law-enforcement efforts in gathering the intelligence and evidence necessary to uncover economic crime,” she said.The two-day conference, which is being held under the theme ‘Compliance: Keeping Pace to Stay Ahead’, seeks to provide participants with sound institutional strategies to stay ahead of the game in the effort to protect clients, institutions and the country in general, against money laundering and terrorism financing.The annual event targets anti-money laundering/counter-financing of terrorism compliance practitioners from the deposit-taking and non-deposit-taking financial institutions; attorneys-at-law; front-line staff; internal and external auditors from the local and regional financial sectors; real estate practitioners; gaming industry personnel; accountants; law enforcement and regulators.The meeting is being hosted by the Jamaica Bankers Association (JBA) in collaboration with the Jamaica Institute of Financial Services (JIFS). In that regard, Mrs. Williams is to head a Jamaican delegation to the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) to accelerate the country’s representation to the body. Story Highlights Minister without Portfolio in the Ministry of Finance and the Public Service, Hon. Fayval Williams, says Jamaica is taking steps to increase its voice in the Caribbean on matters relating to the financial sector.

Next, a few words were spoken by PCF’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Jonathan W. Simons.

Following The Company Men was a surprise performance by the Director of National Institutes of Health, Dr. Francis Collins, who started off mentioning the nationwide cancer study that is currently being conducted in order to understand how to prevent and identify cancer risk factors at an early stage. Dr. Collins encouraged everyone to join in on this “unprecedented adventure”, before taking out his guitar for a surprise performance of Del Shannon’s “Runaway” in his own version, called “DNA”.A live auction was also held to support a young scientist. Attendees were asked to donate $75,000 per year to support the research of a young scientist and his or her research in the fight toward prostate cancer. This was followed by an appearance by Mitch Modell, who presented the foundation with a check for $141,ooo on behalf of Modell’s Sporting Goods and all of its customers.Michael Milken rounded up the evening’s lineup of performances and appearances by extending a heartfelt thank you to all performers, attendees, donors, hosts, pro tennis players and amateurs for making it an unforgettable evening in the support of finding a cure for prostate cancer.

Counter-terrorism officers cordoned off streets near the property and are known to have visited at least one relative of Smith’s nearby.The housing association property Smith shared with his mother is just yards from the town’s police station on nearby Baker’s Hill.Ray and Enid Wilkinson, who live on the same street as Smith’s former home, said Smith’s mother was divorced.She said: “We knew the pair there because she had a dog and she used to go past with her dog….

He was joined there by his mother, Antonitza, who feared he would struggle to cope on his own, neighbours claim.On his Twitter account, Smith poses with wads of cash he has won playing poker and also posts pictures of a recent trip to Tunisia and Turkey. The neighbour added: “Mum felt she needed to still be nearby to cook his dinner and stuff.

He didn’t have a big friendship circle or anything.”One member of the Smith family told The Telegraph relatives had been told not to speak to the press.Security sources say the man in custody, who was Tasered outside London Metropolitan University on the Holloway Road, close to Arsenal’s football ground, was acting as a “lone wolf “.Scotland Yard has until Friday to question the suspect in custody.

‘Boom!” and “Bang!” are among the louder aspects of July 4 at Fort Vancouver each year.But in one popular spot, the July 4 soundscape goes more in the direction of “glug” and “gulp.”That spot is where two local agencies hand out free cups of water. Clark Public Utilities has the more distinctive outlet, a covered wagon that is a familiar sight at community events.And Vancouver’s water quality program set up its booth there Tuesday, just west of Pearson Air Museum: a double dose of thirst slaking at what you might call Guzzle Gulch.The city’s volunteers actually poured more water, handing out about 4,000 12-ounce cups. That doesn’t include fill-ups for people who brought their own reusable water bottles.The city booth had a better location Tuesday, public works spokeswoman Loretta Callahan said, and was the first watering hole most people came across.The water wagon gave out about 200 cups, said Maxie Lofton, marketing and communications coordinator for Clark Public Utilities.But the old covered wagon has a much bigger community role, she said: “We get about 50 reservations for it per year.”It’s not just a hydration station. As something of a historic artifact, it has been an educational resource in many local schools.“A lot of teachers use it every year to go along with their Oregon Trail lessons,” Lofton said.According to a history of the wagon, it is a good example of the transportation that brought a lot of Americans west.“We believe this one was built in a factory back east in the late 1800s or early 1900s,” Richard Green wrote.A matter of degreesIt was acquired from a collector in Albany, Ore. Most of the chassis is original. The wagon box and some other components were completely reconstructed by fleet maintenance volunteers.
Pep Guardiola’s life at Dorados from Mexicano has recently been revealed by his former assistant in the club where Diego Maradona just arrived.We got to give it to Mexican Club Dorados from Sinaloa, they sure know how to make an impression by signing high profile people like Diego Maradona or Pep Guardiola in the past. People tend to forget, but the Manchester City manager actually spent some of his final years as a football player at the same club where Maradona just arrived to manage. During his time in Sinaloa with Dorados, Guardiola had an assistant whose name is Eliseo Martine but goes by ‘Chevo’, he was the one who took Pep everywhere during his time in Mexico and took care of important stuff for the Catalan manager. In a recent interview for ESPN, ‘Chevo’ revealed some very interesting details of Guardiola during his final days as a player and he already showed his skills as a manager ever since. The man today works security for Dorados and he will still get to live the inside experience of yet another football legend like Diego Maradona, what a fortunate opportunity to live close to these people.Las figuras que han pasado por @Dorados:✅ Pep Guardiola✅ Loco Abreu ✅ Pedro Larley✅ Jared Borguetti✅ Cuauhtémoc Blanco✅ Diego Armando Maradona???????? pic.twitter.com/4dH7Bm4OEg— Gol Gana (@Gol_Gana_) September 11, 2018During his interview for ESPN, ‘Chevo spoke about the many characteristics that Guardiola had both as a player and as a person: “When he first arrived I didn’t know who he was really, but when I investigated and started watching him play I noticed he was a different class from the rest. The way he touched the ball was quite impressive, I was the one tasked to stay beside him and help him get to know the city in order to get more familiar with it. They mostly asked me to help him move around the city because the Dorados practices were in a training facility located on the south side of town they didn’t know very well, and that’s why I was the one who drove Pep around. He was a very clever man, he studied and read a lot. He spent a lot of time with Lillo (Dorados’ manager at the time) and they both watched a lot of football. I had to buy football magazines for him all the time, the ones published here in Mexico. I even sent them both a box full of those magazines to Spain. They study a lot of football,” said ‘Chevo’ during the interview.
Mourinho knows why City and Liverpool are so far ahead George Patchias – September 13, 2019 Jose Mourinho knows why Manchester City and Liverpool are so far ahead of everyone else in the Premier League.In an interview with the Telegraph,…Pep Guardiola en su presentación con #Dorados de Sinaloa, 2005.#MemoriaFutbolera pic.twitter.com/anjNunJWCr— Memoria Futbolera (@MemoriaFutbol_) September 11, 2018‘Chevo’ also described a more private side of Pep Guardiola which people from Europe may have never known, something that describes the type of man that he is a little bit better and leaves him in a very good place in relation to the way he always tried to coexist with the fans or the staff from his club at the time. This personality was a little bit evident in the Amazon documentary he shot with Machester City, but never to this level of humbleness: “He practiced, he slept, then we always went to a kitchen to eat, and then he changed a few things from his gear if he had a double practice on the same day. He always wanted to know Culiacan a bit better, we wanted to eat ‘gorditas’ and always try new restaurants. Pep was also a very generous man, I remember he used to give me envelopes filled with money to give the people who always helped him around the club. I remember that he once gave 500 Mexican pesos to a kid and he said he would use the money to watch him play. I had to explain Pep that wasn’t meant to disrespect him because he didn’t really know how to interpret that reaction from the kid,” added ‘Chevo’ on his ESPN interview.Aprovechando el furor por la llegada de Maradona, así recordó ESPN el paso de otro grande, que jugó con Dorados https://t.co/Ug3uhUFQ5V— Heriberto Murrieta (@Beto_Murrieta) September 10, 2018What do you think about this unknown side of Pep Guardiola during his time in Dorados from Sinaloa, Mexico?
