Some 83 percent of babies in the United States start out on breast milk, but by 6 months, just 56 percent are breastfed — and at that stage, only a quarter drink breast milk exclusively, as the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends. To find out what it takes to breastfeed a baby, The New York Times followed four mothers for a day as they nursed, pumped and supplemented their milk with formula. Dr. Ma returned to work four weeks after her oldest daughter’s birth and two weeks after her second arrived. While performing long operations, she leaked breast milk under her surgical gown. Now her hours are more reasonable, and she has an office with a door that locks — but Dr. Ma still feels relentless pressure to keep up.

This image does not show Katie Hobbs at the Maricopa County tabulation center, but a worker at the county’s Elections Department.

Alexei Navalnîi a intrat în greva foameisăptămâna trecută. Publicația pro-Kremlin Izvestia a citat o declarație a Autorității pentru penitenciare din Rusia în care se spune că Navalnîi a fost testat pentru diverse afecțiuni, inclusiv pentru coronavirus. Serviciul pentru penitenciare nu reacționează la o singură plângere de-a noastră... Ei nu au spus nimic despre starea lui de sănătate”, a spus Olga Mikhailova. Un oficial al Amnesty International a spus că a făcut un apel la președintele rus Vladimir Putin cu privire la starea tot mai deteriorată a lui Navalnîi, scrie digi24. Săptămâna trecută, însă, Navalnîi a fost vizitat de Maria Butina, o femeie care a petrecut 18 luni în arest, în SUA, pentru că a lucrat ca agent rus neînregistrat.

Sursa foto: Profimedia ImagesAlexei Navalnâi este suspect de COVID, iar starea lui degradează de la o zi la alta: A slăbit 13 kg, tușește și are febrăAvocații lui Alexei Navalnâi au confirmat că acesta este grav bolnav, are tuse și febră persistente și că a slăbit foarte mult. Alexei Navalnâi a intrat în greva foamei săptămâna trecută. Sentința cu suspendare din 2014 a fost transformată într-una cu închisoare efectivă după ce s-a întors din Germania, unde primise tratament medical după otrăvirea cu agenți neurotoxici. Unul din avocați, Olga Mikhailova, a declarat pentru un post TV independent - Dozhd - că Navalnâi a slăbit 13 kilograme de când a ajuns în închisoare, cele mai multe - 8 kilograme - pierzându-le înainte de a intra în greva foamei. Săptămâna trecută, însă, Navalnâi a fost vizitat de Maria Butina, o femeie care a petrecut 18 luni în arest, în SUA, pentru că a lucrat ca agent rus neînregistrat.

☆ Rosul unghiilor nu este un viciu, e un semn al perfecționismului

Rosul unghiilor nu este un viciu, e un semn al perfecționismuluiRosul unghiilor este considerat în societate un viciu și o acțiune inestetică, dar, potrivit unei cercetări, acest obicei este un semn al perfecționismului. Potrivit unui studiu, s-a constatat că rosul unghiilor nu ar însemna numaidecât un semn de anxietate. Sarah Roberts, autorul studiului, a spus: „Rezultatele demonstrează parțial ipoteza noastră ce susține faptul că participanții au devenit activi în obiceiurile repetitive atunci când s-au simțit plictisiți, frustrați sau nemulțumiți”. În cocluzie, s-a constatat că acest obicei este un semn al perfecționismului, deorece oamenii tind să experimenteze stările de mai sus atunci când nu-și ating obiectivele propuse. Astfel, rosul unghiilor nu este o acțiune realizată doar din punct de vedere nervos, iar aceste noi descoperiri îi pot ajuta pe cei cu comportamente compulsive să-și dezvolte tehnicile de management și să evite acele situații care le determină aceste obiceiuri.
