What is languishing and what are the signs you're experiencing this rising mental health issue?

Just because you haven’t been diagnosed with depression, doesn’t necessarily mean you’re in a great head space, experts say. In fact, people without mental illness can experience a range of burnout-esque symptoms that prevent them from enjoying their best life.

 

Experts call the phenomena “languishing,” and say that it’s a growing malady all over the world. 

 

“You’re just kinda stuck — and I think the reason [languishing] is getting so much attention now is because again I think the whole world is,” says author Kristin Neff.

 

So, how do you know whether you’re in a funk or you’re actually experiencing this issue? And, how do you overcome it and get back to yourself?

A new device being developed could quite literally save your life one day, as the new technology seeks to prevent vehicles from hydroplaning.

 

Also known as aquaplaning, hydroplaning happens when a car runs through water that has built up on the road’s surface and causes the vehicle’s tires to completely lose grip. This is one of the leading causes of traffic accidents.

 

The new technology, dubbed the Run Dry Traction System (RDTS), has proven to be effective in early tests.

 

“Our tests demonstrate that RDTS has the potential to make a huge impact on vehicle safety in a whole host of conditions,” Mike Blundell, professor of vehicle dynamics and impact at Coventry University, explained. “A device like this really could be the difference between life and death if it can help vehicles to stop safely within certain distances and that’s why we’re so keen to continue developing this concept,” he added.

 

So how does RDTS work and why is it so effective?

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

Who doesn't love a good mansion? This collection includes some of the most famous houses globally owned by robber barons, industrialists, authors, politicians, media tycoons, automobile moguls, and more.

 

Some of the homes are called a castle. However, America was founded after the need for a medieval castle. What resulted are simply spectacular houses akin to a chateau, villa, or manor house.

Riddles are a fun way of testing your problem-solving skills, encouraging you to examine your assumptions, look for alternate meanings, and think more creatively. The brain-flexing value of a good riddle doesn't go away as you grow up; word puzzles like these can help you stay sharp.

 

I found Riddle #5 particularly challenging: Without a bridle or a saddle, across a thing I ride a-straddle. And those I ride, by help of me, though almost blind, are made to see. What am I?

 

Did you get the answer right?
