<p>In an increasingly multi-lingual and multicultural classroom where learners come from diverse socio-economic backgrounds, conventional academic learning must be complemented with social-emotional learning for students.

<p><strong>What is Social-Emotional Learning?</strong></p>

<p>Underpinned by the idea of emotional intelligence, advancement on the rather outmoded intelligence quotient, social-emotional learning envisages gaining a wide array of social skills, beliefs, values, attitudes, and behaviour that a student can successfully apply in the real world where they also necessarily have to engage with other individuals.

Here's the lowdown</a></p>

<p><strong>Why social-emotional learning must form a part of the school curriculum?</strong></p>

<p>Makes a complete, self-sufficient, and socially-sensitive individual: Social-emotional learning transforms an intellectually and academically competent student into a socially responsible as well as self-sufficient individual. The social and interpersonal skills not only help him navigate everyday personal and professional challenges better but also inculcate in his empathy and compassion for others.</p>

<p>Importantly, the imparting of communication skills as part of the exercise, both verbal and non-verbal, help the student express himself clearly and thereby connect with others better. Eventually, the student develops autonomy and a sense of self-dependence in everyday affairs and is all set to grow into a complete, self-assured, and socially-responsible individual.</p>

<p>Helps students understand the diverse and complex socio-cultural milieu: For a student to succeed in any pursuits of his liking, he must fully grasp and appreciate that people around him - whether at school, the neighbourhood where he stays, or the workplace where he might work later - come from diverse socio-economic, linguistic and cultural backgrounds. He must also understand that the frontiers of learning actually extend to the family and the wider community. This is very significant given the collective social and community settings that a student has to operate in the real world. As a result, the spirit of teamwork, an essential ingredient in any successful enterprise, becomes one of the critical learning outcomes of an exercise in social-emotional learning.</p>

<p>Equips students with age-appropriate strategies for conflict resolution: One of the integral components of a social-emotional learning curriculum is that it trains and prepares students for all kinds of adverse situations. Through real-life stories and examples, they are exposed to the idea that life can throw up the most unexpected challenges at the most critical junctures.</p>

<p>And as such, not only are they taught the value of keeping their spirits up and maintaining calm and composure in a challenging situation, but they are also equipped with practical strategies to tackle any situation. With social-emotional learning case studies and examples, they are trained in conducting assessments of an open-ended, conflicting, and subjective situation and taking objective problem-solving decisions eventually.</p>

Learn ways to prevent heart attack</a></p>

<p>Sharpens students' ability to make realistic self-analysis and evaluation: A lesson in social-emotional learning also makes a student understand himself and who he really is, at both philosophical and practical plains. In understanding his emotions and thoughts and how they influence his behaviour, he recognises his true strengths and weaknesses. As a result, he can prioritise well and maintain a sense of balance in his overall approach to life, career, and other pursuits.</p>

<p>Inspires students to follow a moral or ethical compass: Training in social-emotional learning also makes students more evolved in a moral sense. They learn to make a distinction between what is right and wrong drawn on accepted wisdom, beliefs, and practices. While they learn to follow established social rules, norms, and even laws, their understanding and judgment are derived from logic and reason. They also learn to choose the right role models for themselves and not get swayed by the so-called razzle-dazzle.</p>

<p>In sum, social-emotional learning helps students not only better 'actualise' or self-realise themselves, it also teaches them to live their lives with a higher social purpose. [1] Acronym for volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity.</p>

<p>Do you know what Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Emma Watson, Lady Gaga and Maisie Williams have in common other than being astronomically successful in their careers? Well, they all have suffered or are currently suffering from Imposter Syndrome, which means that they all go through dark times when they feel like a fraud and credit their hard-earned success to just luck.</p>

<p>While most of us think that being a celebrity brings confidence, happiness, and everything else one can wish for, it's not quite true for many stars, who struggle with the impostor phenomenon. Wondering what this&nbsp;syndrome is all about and what exactly one experiences when they have it? Scroll to know!</p>

<h2>What exactly is imposter syndrome?</h2>

<p>According to Harvard Business Review, Imposter Syndrome, also known as&nbsp;imposter phenomenon, fraud syndrome,&nbsp;impostorism and imposter experience, can be described as&nbsp;a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist despite being successful. People dealing with this psychological phenomenon&nbsp;suffer from chronic self-doubt and they usually have a sense of intellectual fraudulence which overrides any external proof of their competence. People dealing with it&nbsp;feel&nbsp;that they aren't as capable as others think and they fear getting&nbsp;exposed as a fraud.</p>

<p>The term was first officially used in the 70s. Back in 1978, psychologists Suzanne Imes and Pauline Rose Clance&nbsp;detected imposter syndrome in high-achieving professional women. However, in recent days, experts have found that it's&nbsp;common among both men and women.</p>

<h2>How to know if you're suffering from&nbsp;imposter syndrome?</h2>

<p>Do you doubt your own skills while thinking that you're unqualified and incompetent, despite having accomplished a lot in your career? Chances are you may have imposter syndrome.</p>

<p>If you start believing&nbsp;that you’ve fooled people into thinking you’re more skilled than you actually are, you may have the psychological phenomenon that several celebs have recently talked about.</p>

<p>Also, if you credit&nbsp;your success to luck, charm, or others' misjudgment&nbsp;besides your abilities, there're high chances that you may be dealing with&nbsp;fraud syndrome.</p>

<p>To get a proper diagnosis, you must visit a psychologist or therapist who can help you with the syndrome.</p>

<p>If you are getting affected by it, professionally, academically, or in relationships, you must see an expert.</p>

<h2>Celebs open up about&nbsp;impostorism</h2>

<p>Pop star <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/gunman-in-lady-gaga-dog-robbery-jailed-for-21-years-540391">Lady Gaga</a>, in her HBO special, confessed to having imposter syndrome. She said, "I still sometimes feel like a loser kid in high school and I just have to pick myself up and tell myself that I'm a superstar every morning so that I can get through this day and be for my fans what they need for me to be."</p>

<p>'Game of Thrones' fame Maisie Williams, who millions of hearts as Arya Stark, also battles imposter syndrome despite having a phenomenal career in showbiz. In an interview, she once told&nbsp;Glamour, "I think even being an actress for over a decade now, I still have imposter syndrome. Where you're asking yourself, 'Oh, is this really what I'm supposed to be doing?’"</p>

<p>Speaking to The Sun recently, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/dua-lipa-reveals-her-biggest-fear-says-imposter-syndrome-helps-her-in-songwriting-540090">Dua Lipa</a> revealed that sometimes imposter syndrome gets the better of her, especially when she is writing a song. "A lot of the time I get so inspired by artists that have quite a lot of self-doubt or darkness. I'm like, 'Oh my God, do I have to feel this much pain to be good at what I do?' That is sometimes what I think, sometimes imposter syndrome can get the better of me. Especially when I'm writing," she said.</p>

<p>Before headlining the Glastonbury festival this year, global icon <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/7-of-the-biggest-celebrity-fashion-faux-pas-of-2022-so-far-503968">Billie Eilish</a> spoke to NME and opened up about the severe imposter syndrome she faces when it comes to singing in mega shows with big crowds. Again, on Monday, she spoke to BCC and revealed that she has suffered from impostor syndrome many times in her life, particularly between 2020 to 2021.</p>

<p>On several occasions, Emma Watson has opened up about her struggles with imposter syndrome. A couple of years ago, she sat down for a candid conversation with Vogue UK and said, "It’s something I’ve really wrestled with. I’ve gone back and quizzed my parents. When I was younger, I just did it. I just acted. It was just there. It was just something I did.&nbsp;Now when I receive recognition for my acting, I feel incredibly uncomfortable. I tend to turn in on myself. I feel like an imposter."</p>

Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Maisie Williams suffer from imposter syndrome; But what is it? Here's the lowdown

<p>Queen Marie Antoinette's guitar, which was gifted to her by her husband&nbsp;King Louis XVI, will be&nbsp;sold at an auction this week.&nbsp;The finely decorated instrument was made by Jacques-Philippe Michelot in 1775. And, it was given by the queen to Louise Elisabeth de Lostanges, marquise de la Rochelambert, who was her close friend. They played and sang together in the Petit Trianon, Neoclassical château in Versailles.</p>

<p>The instrument is made of spruce and rosewood and has an inlaid of mahogany and ivory.&nbsp;From the last two centuries, the instrument has been preserved in the country home of the Rochelambert family. In 1835, the marquise, who survived the revolutionary terror by fleeing to Switzerland, bequeathed the instrument to her nephew.</p>

<p>The marquise was&nbsp;about the same age as the queen&nbsp;and she was a member of her inner entourage. She was praised for her musical talent and voice. The two women often performed together at the Versailles and shared a close bond. Meanwhile, the marquise’s parents were regulars in the king’s court. Her godfather was Louis de Bourbon, Dauphin of France.</p>

<p>The boat-shaped guitar will go on sale at the Aguttes auction house in Neuilly-sur-Seine on December 9. The so-called “Trianon guitar” has been kept in “remarkable condition”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The marquise’s family preserved the guitar in the ensuing centuries&nbsp;and now one of her descendants is putting it&nbsp;up for auction. And, it is expected to fetch somewhere between&nbsp;€60,000 to €80,000.</p>

<p>At the auction, another item for sale is a sword believed to have belonged to Marie Antoinette’s first page, Charles Bonnin de la Bonninière de Beaumont. According to historical records, the Queen was so “intimate” with the young aristocrat that she addressed him with the familiar “tu” pronoun, which was a rare honour back in the days at Versailles. The gilded bronze and silver sword is estimated to fetch somewhere between €1,500 and €2,000.</p>

<p>Here's a list of prevention tips to lower your heart disease risk!</p>

<ol>
	<li>Quit smoking and drinking alcohol</li>
	<li>Favour good nutrition</li>
	<li>Aim for a healthy weight</li>
	<li>Stay active and avoid sedentary lifestyle</li>
	<li>Reduce stress</li>
	<li>Get regular full-body checkups</li>
</ol>

<h2>Quit smoking and drinking alcohol</h2>

<p>According to a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, people can reduce their heart attack risk by 36 per cent by quitting smoking and another 11 per cent by reducing their alcohol intake. So, according to experts, you can reduce the chances of a heart attack or stroke by almost half if you make positive lifestyle changes and say a big 'no' to smoking and drinking alcohol.&nbsp;We know it's tough to quit these habits but remember it's tougher to recover from a heart attack or stroke or to live with chronic heart disease.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Favour good nutrition</h2>

<p>Not one or two but several studies suggest that a&nbsp;healthy diet can be your strongest weapon&nbsp;against cardiovascular disease. With your diet, you can control cholesterol levels in your body, control blood pressure, keep diabetes in check and maintain your weight. So, experts always suggest having nutrient-rich diets, rich with vitamins, minerals, fibre and other nutrients. But make sure that your diet is lower in calories and unhealthy cholesterol.</p>

<p>If possible, follow a plant-based diet, full of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, You can also&nbsp;include&nbsp;low-fat dairy products, poultry, fish, legumes, nontropical vegetable oils, and nuts in your diet. Just ensure that you&nbsp;limit&nbsp;your intake of sweets, sugar-sweetened beverages, and red meats.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Aim for a healthy weight</h2>

<p>Obesity places you at a high risk of increased cholesterol, high blood pressure and insulin resistance, which is a precursor of type 2 diabetes. These are the very factors that heighten your risk of cardiovascular diseases. The best way to avoid all of this is to maintain a healthy weight and keep your waistline under 37 inches (for men) and under 35 inches (for women). According to a study, it can reduce your heart attack risk by 11 per cent.</p>

<h2>Stay active and avoid sedentary lifestyle</h2>

<p>Moderate daily and weekly exercise routines can reduce your heart attack and stroke risk by 3 to 4 per cent. So make sure that you invest at least&nbsp;150 minutes per week into moderate-intensity physical activity to help lower your blood pressure, lower your cholesterol and keep your weight at a healthy level.</p>

<h2>Reduce stress</h2>

<p>A few studies have found a relationship between cardiovascular&nbsp;diseases and stress in a person's life. And, since people under stress may indulge in binge eating, start smoking or increase their alcohol intake, it's best to work on your stress beforehand. Be it work-related stress or love-related stress, you must take out some time every day to indulge in stress-relieving activities like meditation and remain stress and depression free.</p>

<h2>Get regular full-body checkups</h2>

<p>There're several yearly and monthly preventive tests to build chances for treatment and cure for cardiovascular diseases. How often you need these checkups and tests depends on your age, family history, and your lifestyle. Since about 60-70 per cent of these sicknesses are preventable with timely evaluation and intervention, experts suggest that you regularly visit your doctor and get the check-ups suggested by your physician.</p>

Experiencing cardiophobia post seeing viral clips of 'people falling dead'? Learn ways to prevent heart attack

<p>The public has given their verdict and has selected their 2022 Oxford word of the year. Drumrolls... It is "Goblin mode," which is described as "a type of behaviour which is unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, slovenly, or greedy, typically in a way that rejects social norms or expectations" in the Oxford dictionary. The slang term is often used in idioms like “to go goblin mode” and “I am in goblin mode”.</p>

<p>For those unaware, Oxford Word of the Year reflects the mood, ethos, and social landscape of a given year.</p>

<p>More than 340,000 English speakers around the world were asked to choose the Oxford word of the year between three options narrowed down by lexicographers from Oxford University Press (OUP). The second and third options were "Metaverse" and "#IStandWith".</p>

<p>"Goblin mode" won the online vote by a landslide and got&nbsp;318,956 votes, which is about 93 per cent of the total.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The phrase first appeared online in 2009, however, it gained popularity earlier this year as a result of a made-up incident involving actress Julia Fox and a well-liked Reddit post describing someone acting in a goblin-like manner.</p>

<p>"I think that Goblin Mode really does speak to the times and the zeitgeist, and it is certainly a 2022 expression,"&nbsp;said Ben Zimmer, American linguist and one of the panellists who chose the finalists. "People are looking at social norms in new ways. It gives people the license to ditch social norms and embrace new ones."</p>

<p>"I think as well as reflecting the extent to which our experience of the world and communication is mediated increasingly by social media and the internet, it also perhaps represents ongoing questions about ownership and regulation on new technologies — especially those means by which we communicate,"&nbsp;said Jonathan Dent, Senior Editor at&nbsp;Oxford English Dictionary, OUP.</p>

<p>OUP described&nbsp;2022 as a year&nbsp;characterised by reunion and reconnection after the COVID-19 pandemic and also by social and political change. And, the poll invited&nbsp;“everyone and from everywhere” to have their say on what word/phrase best reflects their 2022 experience.</p>

'Goblin mode': What does the Oxford word of the year mean?

<p>The internet has made our lives so much easier but many will agree when I say that it is not the safest place for youngsters. And, a new EU-funded study has proved that risky, delinquent and sometimes even criminal online behaviour is getting normalised among young netizens, more than ever today.</p>

<p>New research has found that one in every four 16 to 19-year-olds have trolled someone online and one in every three have engaged in digital piracy.</p>

<p>The study, which was conducted in nine European countries including the UK among 8,000 young people, also found that one in every eight surveyees&nbsp;had&nbsp;engaged in online harassment, one in every 10 had&nbsp;engaged in hate speech or hacking, one in every five had engaged in sexting and four out of 10 had watched pornography.</p>

<p>Julia Davidson, a co-author of the research and professor of criminology at the University of East London (UEL), said, "The research indicates that a large proportion of young people in the EU are engaging in some form of cybercrime, to such an extent that the conduct of low-level crimes online and online risk-taking has become almost normalised."</p>

<p>Davidson also&nbsp;said that the research findings pointed to more male participation in such kinds of behaviour as compared to females, with nearly three-quarters of males admitting to some form of cybercrime or online risk-taking and 65 per cent of females admitting to the same.</p>

<p>The study was conducted in the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway and Romania. The country with the highest proportion of cyber deviancy was Spain,&nbsp;followed by Romania, the Netherlands and Germany.</p>

<p>In a questionnaire, young people were questioned about 20 types of online behaviour, including looking at pornography, posting revenge porn, indulging in hate speech and making self-generated sexual images.</p>

<p>According to the survey findings, about half of respondents engaged in behaviour that could be considered criminal in most jurisdictions, which includes&nbsp;hacking, money muling and non-consensual sharing of intimate images.</p>

<p>The survey also found that half of 16&nbsp;to 19-year-olds spent about four to seven hours a day on the internet while nearly four out of 10 spent more than eight hours a day online. And, the top five popular platforms among the group were YouTube, Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok and Snapchat.</p>

Study reveals risky online behaviour 'almost normalised' among young people

<p>The best part of organising your bachelorette party is going to it. The final trip you have with your girlfriends before becoming enmeshed in the endless wedding procedures. We frequently forget our basics while packing since we are so excited for the bachelorette vacation to start. Many of us may identify with this. To stay prepared for your trip, make a packing list and schedule your outfits before you start packing. If not, one ends up overpacking clothing and skipping the necessities.<br />
<br />
Whether its Goa, Thailand or even Manali, no matter where you're going, here are a few essentials that you should always carry with you when you travel:<br />
<br />
<strong>* Sunscreen</strong><br />
<br />
The last thing one wants on holidays is burnt patchy skin that spoils the insta-feed and causes discomfort. Instead of coming back home to elaborate packs and ubtans rituals, best to carry a broad spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 50 to keep the skin protected. Choose a sunscreen that doesn't leave a white cast and for beach trips, remember to pick one that's reef safe and waterproof too.<br />
<br />
<strong>* Hair removal cream</strong><br />
<br />
Amid all of the planning, one also tends to miss out on a salon visit for the last-minute grooming and pamper session. Hair removal cream for women is enriched with shea butter, aloe vera and bisabolol which makes the hair removal process very spa-like from the comfort of your home. Hair removal cream works in just 3-6 minutes and leaves your skin hair-free and buttery smooth. This cream is a great travel companion and a time saver. The dermatologically tested formula also eliminates dryness, darkening and skin irritation.<br />
<br />
<strong>* Lip balm</strong><br />
<br />
Even if you choose to carry no makeup -- do keep a lip balm handy. No matter the climatic conditions, a lip balm doesn't just take care of chapped lips but also brightens the face with minimal effort. A tinted lip balm can also serve as a blush and an eyeshadow if too! Carry one with SPF and vitamin E extracts to shield your lips from harm.</p>

<br />
<strong>* Face sheet masks</strong><br />
<br />
It's always fun to apply face sheet masks with your girlfriends and take selfies. Pampering your skin is the key, especially while you are on the go. A face sheet mask is very refreshing and makes your skin glow. Say bye-bye to all those pesky impurities that tend to clog pores when you're hopping from one place to another. While you wake up the next morning sipping on your coffee, put on your sheet masks and call it a perfect girlfriend skincare hour. Now, you have a variety of options available in the masks like strawberry, charcoal, lemon, kiwi, and you can carry different for each day of your trip to leverage each of its benefits.<br />
<br />
<strong>* Pantyliners</strong><br />
<br />
Panty liners are not just for transitioning in and out of periods. They are a great product to carry when travelling where changing out undergarments frequently isn't an option and toilet rolls are not readily available. Wear one and carry a couple in your purse on your day outs to quickly swap them out and keep feeling fresh throughout the day.</p>

<p>On December 1, World AIDS Day is observed. The day aims to raise awareness and dispel myths about the disease, to remember those who have died due to it, and to protect those currently afflicted with it.<br />
<br />
AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is one of the deadliest and most feared diseases and is among the ones that people from every age group need to be aware of.</p>

<p>On World AIDS Day, we explain the difference between AIDS and HIV and some of the most common myths about the syndrome.</p>

<p>A very common misconception about the syndrome is that AIDS and HIV are the same thing. Most of us are in the habit of using both terms interchangeably, unaware of the meaning behind the two words.<br />
<br />
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is the virus that causes infection, whereas AIDS is the disease that is caused by HIV if left untreated.</p>

<br />
<strong>What is HIV?</strong><br />
<br />
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system of the body, making the infected person more vulnerable to other deadly diseases. It is spread via unprotected sexual contact, needles, and syringes.</p>

<p>The virus mainly affects the&nbsp;white blood cells aka&nbsp;leukocytes, that protect our immune system and fight against infections and diseases.<br />
<br />
There is no cure for the virus, but medications are available to control the infection. The virus remains in the infected body for a lifetime.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
<strong>What is AIDS?</strong><br />
<br />
AIDS, a chronic immune system disease, is the advanced stage of infection caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). If the person gets infected with the virus and doesn't get treatment for the same, then the person can develop a life-threatening disease AIDS.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A person who has been diagnosed as HIV positive doesn't necessarily have AIDS.&nbsp;</p>

<p><b>There are three stages of HIV infection.&nbsp;</b></p>

<p>Stage 1: Acute HIV infection - Within a few weeks of the infection, the body may show slight flu-like symptoms.</p>

<p>Stage 2: This is the second stage of HIV and is also referred to as chronic HIV infection. In this&nbsp;stage, the virus multiplies but the process is slow and may&nbsp;last as long as 10–15 years with no symptoms. But in some exceptional cases, the process can be fast.&nbsp;</p>

On December 1, World AIDS Day is observed. The day aims to raise awareness and dispel myths about the disease, to remember those who have died due to it, and to protect those currently afflicted with it. AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is one of the deadliest and most feared diseases and is among the ones that people from every age group need to be aware of. On World AIDS Day, we explain the difference between AIDS and HIV and some of the most common myths about the syndrome. A very common misconception about the syndrome is that AIDS and HIV are the same thing. Most of us are in the habit of using both terms interchangeably, unaware of the meaning behind the two words. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is the virus that causes infection, whereas AIDS is the disease that is caused by HIV if left untreated. World AIDS Day 2022: Celebrities who battled HIV/AIDS - Billy Porter, Freddie Mercury What is HIV? HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system of the body, making the infected person more vulnerable to other deadly diseases. It is spread via unprotected sexual contact, needles, and syringes. The virus mainly affects the white blood cells aka leukocytes, that protect our immune system and fight against infections and diseases. There is no cure for the virus, but medications are available to control the infection. The virus remains in the infected body for a lifetime. What is AIDS? AIDS, a chronic immune system disease, is the advanced stage of infection caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). If the person gets infected with the virus and doesn't get treatment for the same, then the person can develop a life-threatening disease AIDS. A person who has been diagnosed as HIV positive doesn't necessarily have AIDS. There are three stages of HIV infection. Stage 1: Acute HIV infection - Within a few weeks of the infection, the body may show slight flu-like symptoms. Stage 2: This is the second stage of HIV and is also referred to as chronic HIV infection. In this stage, the virus multiplies but the process is slow and may last as long as 10–15 years with no symptoms. But in some exceptional cases, the process can be fast. Stage 3 - When the virus has damaged the immune system of the body to an extreme extent that the body is not able to fight back, then the stage is termed AIDS. (With inputs from the agencies)

HIV and AIDS is not the same thing. Do you know difference between the two?

<p>It is as much a part of French culture as the Eiffel Tower or Edith Piaf but the origins of the humble baguette, which UNESCO on Wednesday added to its List of Intangible Cultural Heritage, remain a mystery.</p>

<p>Here are some of the more popular theories:</p>

<p>Napoleon's bread of war -</p>

<p>The oldest tale has the baguette being kneaded by bakers in Napoleon's army. Less bulky than a traditional loaf, the long slim shape of the baguette made it faster to bake in brick ovens hastily erected on the battlefield.</p>

<p>France's most famous man of war was preoccupied with getting his men their daily bread.</p>

<p>During his Russian campaign in 1812, he toured the ovens daily to sample the day's offering and ensure the crusty batons were being distributed regularly, according to historian Philippe de Segur.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He also had portable bread mills sent to occupied Moscow, but the setbacks suffered by the Grande Armee in one of the deadliest military campaigns in history ended his bid to export the doughy staple.</p>

<p>The Viennese connection -</p>

<p>Another theory has the baguette starting out in a Viennese bakery in central Paris in the late 1830s.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Artillery officer and entrepreneur August Zang brought Austria's culinary savoir-faire to Paris in the form of the oval-shaped bread that were standard in his country at the time.</p>

<p>According to the Compagnonnage des boulangers et des patissiers, the French bakers' network, Zang decided to make the loaves longer to make them easier for the city's breadwomen to pluck from the big carts they pushed through the city's streets.</p>

<p>Breaking bread -</p>

<p>Another theory has the baguette being born at the same time as the metro for the 1900 Paris Exposition.</p>

<p>People from across France came to work on the underground and fights would often break out on site between labourers armed with knives, which they used to slice big round loaves of bread for lunch.</p>

<p>According to the herodote.net history site, to avoid bloodshed, one engineer had the idea of ordering longer loaves that could be broken by hand.</p>

<p>Early rising -</p>

<p>In 1919, a new law aimed to improve the lives of bakers by banning them from working from 10 pm to 4 am.</p>

<p>The reform gave them less time to prepare the traditional sourdough loaf for the morning, marked the widespread transition to what was called at the time the yeast-based "flute", which rose faster and was out of the oven in under half an hour.</p>

<p>Standardised at 80 centimeters (30 inches) and 250 grams (eight ounces) with a fixed price until 1986, the baguette was initially the mainstay of wealthy metropolitans, but after World War II became the emblem of all French people.</p>

Nail art trends come and go quicker than we can keep up with them. While some have a short shelf life like bubble nails, mini French and gold cuticles, others keep popping up on our social media timelines, over and over again, establishing themselves as timeless nail art designs like glazed donut nails, patent leather nails, pierced nails, and ornate nail art. Currently, five amazing nail art trends are making waves online. And, we have listed each one of them here for you. So, without further ado, let's head straight to the list! Lip gloss nails Blooming gel Comic nails Moonlight Velvety Lip gloss nails View this post on Instagram A post shared by GELCARE® (@gelcare.official) As the name suggests, lip gloss nail art is all about flaunting a light and sheer coat of pink colour with a glossy finish. Just like a swipe of pink shiny lip gloss brings life to your lips, this nail art trend transforms the way your nails look. Lip gloss nails go with everything and they look great on all nail shapes and lengths like pointy stilettos, almond nails and squared-off tips. With just a shiny nail polish coat and natural pink shade, you can create lip gloss nails at home, without seeing a nail tech or visiting a salon. Blooming gel View this post on Instagram A post shared by 𝗦 𝗔 𝗦 𝗦 🪷 (@sass_nails_) Blooming gel is a clear gel polish which lends a blooming effect to any gel nail art design. It is simply a translucent gel formula which causes any colour to bloom when applied together. It is similar to a base coat but gives different results when used correctly. Blooming gel is quite different from other gel polishes as you don't have to cure it during the design process but wait until it blooms. According to nail experts, you first have to paint a layer of blooming gel onto your nail then draw a design while it's still wet. Once you are done with the design, you must wait for it to bloom. Depending on your desired effect, the longer you leave it to bloom, the more faded the edges will look. Anywhere between 30 to 60 seconds is enough. Comic nails View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aura_Nails (@auranails_yyc) Comic nails, also known as cartoon nails, are fun, eye-catching and super colourful. They seem like they have just popped out of a comic book and they give off a 3D effect. The design is versatile, cool and also currently trending internationally. Also read: Geode, bright swirl, two-toned French and other stunning nail art trends of 2022 Moonlight View this post on Instagram A post shared by Brown Girl Hands (@browngirlhands) Moonlight manicure is all about flaunting white nails that have a reflective pearlescent finish. They can be easily created at a salon with a white pearlescent gel or dip powder. If you are trying the trend at home, use a white polish with a shimmer top coat. Velvety View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nailpro (@nailpromagazine) Velvet nails, also called velvety by influencers and netizens on social media, are created by using a special gel polish, which essentially lifts the sparkle to create a velour-like finish. They seem like you have covered your nails with velvet fabric and a little glue. WATCH WION LIVE HERE You can now write for wionews.com and be a part of the community.

6 powerful self-help books you must read before you turn 30

<p>Our diet must be geared at improving our overall health and well-being, and according to experts, a plant-based diet certainly does that and much more. Switching to a plant-based diet rich in vegetables, nuts, whole grains and legumes from a meat-heavy diet can help you stay away from a number of diseases. And, according to a new US-based study, it can also help men reduce their chances of developing bowel cancer by 22 per cent. Researchers found&nbsp;no such link for women.</p>

<p>A new US-based study that involved nearly 80,000 men found that those who followed a healthy plant-based diet had a 22% lesser risk of bowel cancer as compared to those who ate a more meat-based diet.</p>

<p>The researchers couldn't find any&nbsp;such link for women, of whom 93,475 were included in the research. The study suggested that the link is clearer for men, who have an overall higher risk of bowel cancer. The findings were published in the journal BMC Medicine.</p>

<p>The study’s corresponding author,&nbsp;Jihye Kim, from Kyung Hee University, South Korea said, "Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide and the risk of developing colorectal cancer over a lifetime is one in 23 for men and one in 25 for women."</p>

<p>He added, “Although previous research has suggested that plant-based diets may play a role in preventing colorectal cancer, the impact of plant foods’ nutritional quality on this association has been unclear. Our findings suggest that eating a healthy plant-based diet is associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer.”</p>

<p>Also read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-expert-talks-about-plant-based-diets-and-why-they-are-beneficial-for-us-502915">Expert talks about plant-based diets and why they are beneficial for us</a></p>

<p>During the research, people were asked to reveal how often they eat certain foods from a list of more than 180 items and their portion sizes.</p>

<p>Participants had to choose between various options ranging “never or hardly ever” to “two or more times a day”. For drinks, the answers could range from “never or hardly ever” to “four or more times a day”.</p>

<p>In the study, the food groups were differentiated into three groups: healthy plant foods (whole grains, fruits, vegetables, vegetable oils, nuts, legumes such as lentils and chickpeas, tea and coffee), less healthy plant foods (refined grains, fruit juices, potatoes, added sugars), and animal foods (animal fat, dairy, eggs, fish or seafood, meat).</p>

<p>“We speculate that the antioxidants found in foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains could contribute to lowering colorectal cancer risk by suppressing chronic inflammation, which can lead to cancer,” said Kim. “As men tend to have a higher risk of colorectal cancer than women, we propose that this could help explain why eating greater amounts of healthy plant-based foods was associated with reduced colorectal cancer risk in men but not women.”</p>

Study reveals plant-based diet can lower bowel cancer risk in men by 22 per cent

<p>Okinawa, a Japanese island in the East China Sea, has historically been known for longevity and it was once called the land of immortals. The Japanese archipelago is one of the world's five 'Blue Zones' and it has the highest concentration of centenarians, which&nbsp;is basically a person who is 100 years old or more. So, according to several studies,&nbsp;Okinawans can teach us a lot about living longer by simply following a healthy lifestyle.</p>

<p>Here's a list of 4 secrets we learned from Japan's oldest people!</p>

<ol>
	<li>Embrace an ikigai</li>
	<li>Eat a plant-based diet</li>
	<li>Get into gardening</li>
	<li>Maintain a moai</li>
</ol>

<h2>Embrace an ikigai</h2>

<p>'Ikigai' is a Japanese word which means finding a sense of purpose or a reason to jump out of bed every morning. It is a holistic exercise advocated in the Japanese culture which allows a person to identify and move towards their passion in a structured approach. Okinawans believe that one must take up a hobby to live purpose-imbued life that gives them clear roles of responsibility and feelings of being needed well, even in their 100s.</p>

<h2>Eat a plant-based diet</h2>

<p>Most older Okinawans have been on a plant-based diet since their childhood days. Their meals include stir-fried vegetables, sweet potatoes, soybean and tofu, which are high in nutrients and low in calories. They also observe the 80 per cent rule, where they have to stop eating when their stomachs are 80 per cent full.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Get into gardening</h2>

<p>Did you know most Okinawans are active walkers and gardeners? According to various reports, the centenarians of the region either grow or once grew a garden in their backyard and the activity helps them fulfil their daily quota of physical activity and exercise that the body requires. Other than helping the centenarians stay active even in their 100s, gardening also acts as a constant source of fresh vegetables, herbs, fruits and natural medicines.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Maintain a moai</h2>

<p>The Okinawan tradition of forming a moai is all about building a strong social network and having as many close friends as possible. The secure social networks eventually lend financial and emotional support in times of need,&nbsp;giving&nbsp;them the stress-shedding security of knowing that they are not alone.</p>

Four secrets to longevity from the centenarians of Okinawa, the land of immortals

<p>Consumption of alcohol, even in low to moderate amounts during pregnancy, can change the baby`s brain structure and delay brain development, a new MRI-based study has warned.<br />
<br />
Alcohol consumption during pregnancy can expose the fetus to a group of conditions called fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.<br />
<br />
Babies born with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders could develop learning disabilities, behavioural problems or speech and language delays.<br />
<br />
"Fetal MRI is a highly specialised and safe examination method that allows us to make accurate statements about brain maturation prenatally," said study senior author Gregor Kasprian, associate professor of radiology at the Medical University of Vienna in Austria.<br />
<br />
For the study, researchers analysed MRI exams of 24 fetuses with prenatal alcohol exposure. The fetuses were between 22 and 36 weeks of gestation at the time of MRI.<br />
<br />
Alcohol exposure was determined via anonymous surveys of the mothers.<br />
<br />
In fetuses with alcohol exposure, the fetal total maturation score (fTMS) was significantly lower than in the age-matched controls, and the right superior temporal sulcus (STS) was shallower.<br />
<br />
The STS is involved in social cognition, audiovisual integration and language perception.<br />
<br />
"We found the greatest changes in the temporal brain region and STS. We know that this region, and specifically the formation of the STS, has a great influence on language development during childhood," said Dr Kasprian.<br />
<br />
Seventeen of 24 mothers drank alcohol relatively infrequently, with average alcohol consumption of less than one alcoholic drink per week.<br />
<br />
"Nevertheless, we were able to detect significant changes in these fetuses based on prenatal MRI," Dr Kienast added.<br />
<br />
According to the researchers, delayed fetal brain development could be specifically related to a delayed stage of myelination and less distinct gyrification in the frontal and occipital lobes.<br />
<br />
The myelination process is critical to brain and nervous system function. Gyrification refers to the formation of the folds of the cerebral cortex.<br />
<br />
"Pregnant women should strictly avoid alcohol consumption," Dr Kienast said, as "even low levels of alcohol consumption can lead to structural changes in brain development and delayed brain maturation."</p>

<p>Italian designer Alessandro Michele on Wednesday left Gucci, where he has overseen a surge in sales at the fashion powerhouse since 2015 but seen his star fade in recent seasons.</p>

<p>"Gucci today announces that Alessandro Michele is stepping down as creative director of Gucci," said French conglomerate Kering,&nbsp;which owns the Italian house.</p>

<p>It said he had played "a fundamental part in making the brand what it is today through his groundbreaking creativity".</p>

<p>Michele, in the same joint statement, said: "There are times when paths part ways because of the different perspectives each one of us may have."</p>

<p>Kering said Gucci's design office would "continue to carry the direction of the house forward until a new creative organisation" was announced.</p>

<p>Industry bible Women's Wear Daily earlier on Wednesday said Michele was quitting after being asked to orchestrate a creative revamp to restore the brand's lustre.</p>

<p>With his bookish chic looks and vintage mashups that harkened back to the 1970s and 80s, Michele helped turn the once-flagging house into a white-hot success, drawing in a new generation of fans with his anti-establishment veneer.</p>

<p>Michele also joined a handful of other designers by announcing in 2021 that the number of annual shows would be slashed from five to just two, saying that "clothes should have a longer life" and that his future collections would be "seasonless".</p>

<p>Sales also got a boost from 2021's Ridley Scott-directed '<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-house-of-gucci-review-its-a-lady-gaga-film-love-her-hate-her-but-cant-ignore-her-432146">House of Gucci'</a>&nbsp;film with Lady Gaga and a host of Hollywood A-listers.</p>

<p>But enthusiasm had begun to wane among industry insiders, according to WWD, with Kering CEO Francois-Henri Pinault eager for a quick change at the helm.</p>

<p>Pinault wished the designer a "great next chapter in his creative journey".</p>

<p>"The road that Gucci and Alessandro walked together over the past years is unique and will remain as an outstanding moment in the history of the house," he said.</p>

<p>Financial analysts at the brokerage firm Bernstein said earlier in a research note to clients: "Gucci is suffering from brand fatigue and Alessandro Michele has been doing the same thing for the past seven years."</p>

<p>"Institutional investors appear to agree that a new approach is needed to relaunch the brand," added analysts at Royal Bank of Canada.</p>

It said he had played "a fundamental part in making the brand what it is today through his groundbreaking creativity". Michele, in the same joint statement, said: "There are times when paths part ways because of the different perspectives each one of us may have." Also read: Cryptocurrency: Gucci adopts ApeCoin as payment method Kering said Gucci's design office would "continue to carry the direction of the house forward until a new creative organisation" was announced. Industry bible Women's Wear Daily earlier on Wednesday said Michele was quitting after being asked to orchestrate a creative revamp to restore the brand's lustre. With his bookish chic looks and vintage mashups that harkened back to the 1970s and 80s, Michele helped turn the once-flagging house into a white-hot success, drawing in a new generation of fans with his anti-establishment veneer. Michele also joined a handful of other designers by announcing in 2021 that the number of annual shows would be slashed from five to just two, saying that "clothes should have a longer life" and that his future collections would be "seasonless". Sales also got a boost from 2021's Ridley Scott-directed 'House of Gucci' film with Lady Gaga and a host of Hollywood A-listers. Also read: Gucci to Dolce & Gabbana: Luxury fashion brands that are vegan, eco-friendly and anti-fur But enthusiasm had begun to wane among industry insiders, according to WWD, with Kering CEO Francois-Henri Pinault eager for a quick change at the helm. Pinault wished the designer a "great next chapter in his creative journey". "The road that Gucci and Alessandro walked together over the past years is unique and will remain as an outstanding moment in the history of the house," he said. Financial analysts at the brokerage firm Bernstein said earlier in a research note to clients: "Gucci is suffering from brand fatigue and Alessandro Michele has been doing the same thing for the past seven years." "Institutional investors appear to agree that a new approach is needed to relaunch the brand," added analysts at Royal Bank of Canada.

<p>The traditional method of preparing a turkey is to put the bird in a hot oven and wait until it's done cooking itself. This is the&nbsp;best method though but is way too basic. When inviting family and friends over for Thanksgiving dinner, surprise everyone with a&nbsp;different and creative twist to this standard cuisine that will soothe the tastebuds. Here are some adventurous ways of making a Turkey:</p>

<h2><strong>1. Mole-roasted turkey</strong></h2>
<img alt="Mole-roasted turkey" data-align="center" data-caption="Mole-roasted turkey&amp;nbsp;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="99beb557-22a6-4a6e-86ec-c7bb2a6dd9f5" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20%2832%29_0.png" />
<p>To make mole-roasted turkey, marinate the turkey in the mole sauce overnight at a minimum temperature. Then coat the inside and outside of the turkey with the sauce&nbsp;and let it sit in the fridge for an hour before cooking. The delicious chocolate sauce will moisten the turkey, which tastes best with spicy chilli gravy and masa stuffing on the side.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>2. Beer can turkey</strong></h2>

<p>This version of turkey is a variation of beer-can chicken, in which a chicken is propped up over an open can of beer. For making a turkey this way,&nbsp;use at least&nbsp;two 24-ounce cans of beer, one for the interior basting and one for the dripping pan, and another for outside basting. It can be cooked either in an oven or on the grill, either way, use a special rack to help keep the bird upright while it roasts.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>3. Bacon-wrapped turkey</strong></h2>

<p>This is easiest turkey to cook, just add bacon to the turkey, as simple as that. When the bacon is place don top of the turkey,the bacon grease&nbsp;will start melting which add delicious flavours to the bird. This recipe is an appetizing blend of bacon and maple syrup to create&nbsp;<br />

<p>Pumpkin spice is the ultimate fall flavour to be added to a turkey meat. Create one-quarter of a cup of rub with cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg, then add brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Coat the thawed bird with canola oil, then rub in the spice, allow it to sit in the fridge overnight, then cook as usual. The pumpkin spice-flavoured bird is ready.</p>
