High school is kind of a rotten time for executive functioning to get even harder. Family situations like health challenges. Shifting friend groups and social situations. Navigating the college process. InErasing the Finish Line, Homayoun suggests the following tips for helping kids cope with uncertainty. Start by asking, Are you doing the best you could with what youve got right now? Hopefully acknowledging what they are doing well with the resources available will ease stress about the rest....

I decided to get fooled again and try out the upside-down puff pastry hack. The puff pastry on the bottom puffs up elegantly and the ingredients in the middle cook until soft. The upside-down version builds it in reverse. The toppings go directly on the sheet tray, and you drape the puff pastry over the toppings. Egg wash it for aesthetics, and bake. I made a parmesan, asparagus, and dijon pastry that was true perfection....

William Goodall was born in Eccles, Manchester in 1880, and was brought up there and in Bedford. His performance earned him the Kings and Queens South Africa Medal. After the war, Goodall quit the military and embarked on a civilian career. He spent some time in Sumatra and tried his hand at tin mining and tea planting. They found the island delightful, and thought it was an ideal place for bathing and picnic parties....

I am bad at letting things marinate: ideas, problems, meat. I want to get to the post-process: eating. Which brings me back to marinating. I am so often confronted by the phrase, marinate overnight, which delights me. What if Im a light sleeper? What if Im a night owl and prep it at 11 p.m.? I found myself wondering, does it even matter? (This is supposed to be about quick dinner options, after all....

Fleming took pity on him, took the goose home and named him Andy. Fleming was an inventor who made a fortune manufacturing odd solutions to animal needs. It worked great, and he made hundreds of thousands of them. Andy and Gene Fleming. Then Fleming realized that the answer lied in the obviousgive him shoes. Soon, Andy became a local attraction. The Flemings took Andy around the town visiting schools, libraries, county fairs, and parades....

Many communities have reopened in read-only mode, and some may stay fully dark for longer. A spokespersontold the Vergethat so many subs going private at once caused some expected stability issues. The site was intermittently unavailable for most of Monday morning. There was a flurry of media coverage, includingours. But,Ad Week reports, advertisers are watching the situation closely. Its unclear whether that is actually the case, though. One of the major issues at stake is accessibility for people who use tools like screen readers....

It originally belonged to the Scottish people who used it during coronation of their own monarchs. A replica of the Stone of Scone in front of the Scone Palace. However, rioting crowds prevented the stone from being removed from Westminster Abbey. His partners in crime were fellow students Gavin Vernon, Kay Matheson and Alan Stuart. The following night, they tried again, breaking into the abbey with the help of a jemmy....

And on that point, they deliver. World Records Podcast sounds like a cartoon and will make you feel like youre on drugs. Listen to the Ted Danson episode. Youll feel like you just did a bunch of crunches. (If you think that cant be funny, youre wrong.) Enjoy a new chapter every episode. These guys are at an eleven on a scale of one to ten and they never come down....

The wasabi most of us get at sushi restaurants, or from the store, isnt wasabi. That green, slightly bitter powder is often made out of horseradish. It has the pungency of horseradish, but a definitively different bite and flavor. This is called kizami wasabi. Such began my determination to grow it myself, in pursuit of the perfect wasabi condiment. For years, Ive been trying to figure out how to plant wasabi alongside running water in my yard....

Its not just #fencetok, either. The shorter the stay, the less likely neighbors are to form lasting relationships. There is no one market in most places, and many parks and school options. Houses are now inhabited not only by traditional families, but child-free families and single folks. It might be enough to convince you not to engage if you were otherwise inclined. Neighbors are a safety net we dont often think about....

Do not leave the house during the day Sunblock can only take you so far. Theres a reason goth clubs dont get going before midnight. I have reverse seasonal depression. I get really sad during the hot months, so I just want to stay inside all day. But black is right up there. The material and cut matters too. My summer clothing secret is linen. Black linen, Los Angeles goth Frederick Faith said....

Animals have been an indispensable part of warfare and combat since ancient times. The question is: how do we honor those animals that display exceptional acts of valor during wartime? By 1922 the PDSA had opened seven clinics across London, treating up to 70,000 animals a year. Further success allowed the PDSA to open their first clinic outside London in Salford in 1923. Since then, the medal has been compared to the Victoria Cross,....
