Keeping the Mind at Ease with a Stress Journal.
Our lives are accompanied with a lot of stress. It is normal for one to be stressed. Stress can be harmful when necessary measures are not taken. Studies have shown that stress is a major factor when it comes to work-related health cases. Working days are always lost as a result of stress. People handle stress using different mechanisms. Aromatherapy, copper among other ways can be used to handle stress. However, some people still struggle with stress. These type of people need an effective way of managing stress.
Stress can be managed effectively by using a journal. The use of a stress journal is advantageous since it is simple and can be done by everyone. Recording of the stress feelings will ultimately give one a pattern. This pattern is very important in finding the remedy of the stress. Keeping stress journals does not correlate to one's history of keeping a diary. The journal will help both people the same. The most important thing of writing a journal is not the quality of the writing but rather the effect it will have on the well-being of a person.
It is difficult for some people to talk to others about their feelings. Some of the reasons is the feeling of being embarrassed or selling shy. Use of journals, therefore, gives these people an outlet of to bring out the most complicated feelings. These recordings can assist to find the cause of stress. Management of the stress now kicks in. Moods of a person can then be boosted after finding a solution to their stress problem. This is important for those people having self-esteem issues.
Different people deal with stress differently. There are people who order cigarettes online to assist them to relieve stress. Others may opt to get massages. One may, however, choose to boost on the ways of dealing with feelings of stress. The use of journals can be used concurrently with the other methods to make the stress relieving process even more productive and faster. When dealing with stress, keeping in touch with our emotions is very crucial. Every major life situation will always have a solution. Writing and reflecting on the stressful feelings is very crucial in managing stress.
Finding the real cause of stress sometimes might be a difficult task. It is possible that some people try to solve their stress problems from a wrong perspective. Finding the reason behind the stressful feeling facing you is as important as finding the ways of managing the stress. The evaluation of the real cause of stress can be done by writing the stressful encounters down on paper. For the cases of stress management, even those who do not like writing should consider writing these stress journals. It is vital for everyone to handle stress with a lot of significance to avoid any fatal aftermath.


Former prime ministers and foreign ministers from throughout Europe, some of whom also served in senior positions in the United Nations, NATO and the European Union, called Monday for the EU to reaffirm its support for the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in advance of the publication of U.S. President Donald Trump's peace plan.
The former leaders urged the EU not to support Trump's plan if it does not respect this principle and international law.
Among the 37 signatories are former French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault, former British foreign secretaries David Miliband and Jack Straw, former German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel, former EU High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy Javier Solana and other leaders and ministers.
"We are reaching out at a critical point in time in the Middle East, as well as in Europe," the letter reads.
"In partnership with previous U.S. Administrations, Europe has promoted a just resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the context of a two-state solution. To this date, despite subsequent set-backs, the Oslo Agreement is still a milestone of transatlantic foreign policy cooperation.
"Unfortunately, the current U.S. administration has departed from longstanding U.S. policy and distanced itself from established international legal norms. It has so far recognized only one side's claims to Jerusalem and demonstrated a disturbing indifference to Israeli settlement expansion.
The U.S. has suspended funding for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) and for other programs benefitting Palestinians […] Against this unfortunate absence of a clear-cut commitment to the vision of two states, the Trump administration has declared itself close to finalizing and presenting a new plan for Israeli-Palestinian peace. Despite uncertainty as to if and when the plan will be released, it is crucial for Europe to be vigilant and act strategically.
"We believe that Europe should embrace and promote a plan that respects the basic principles of international law as reflected in the agreed EU parameters for a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," the former leaders write. "These parameters, which the Union has systematically reaffirmed during past U.S.-sponsored talks, reflect our shared understanding that a viable peace requires the creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel on borders based on the pre-1967 lines with mutually agreed, minimal and equal land swaps; with Jerusalem as the capital for both states; with security arrangements that address legitimate concerns and respect the sovereignty of each side and with an agreed, fair solution to the question of Palestine refugees.
"Europe, by contrast, should reject any plan that does not meet this standard. While sharing Washington's frustrations about the unsuccessful peace efforts of the past, we are convinced that a plan that reduces Palestinian statehood to an entity devoid of sovereignty, territorial contiguity and economic viability would severely compound the failure of previous peace-making efforts, accelerate the demise of the two-state option and fatally damage the cause of a durable peace for Palestinians and Israelis alike.
Along with the above-mentioned leaders, the signatories are:Douglas Alexander, former minister of state for Europe (UK); Former Swedish Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Carl Bildt; former Polish Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Wlodzimierz Cimoszewicz; former Romanian Prime Minister and European Commissioner Dacian Ciolos; , former Belgian Foreign Minister and NATO Secretary General Willy Claes; former Italian Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Massimo d'Alema; former Belgian Foreign Minister and European Commissioner Karel De Gucht, former Danish Foreign Minister and president of the European Liberals Uffe Ellemann-Jensen; former Austrian Foreign Minister and European Commissioner for External Relations Benita Ferrero-Waldner; former Italian Foreign Minister and European Commissioner Franco Frattini; former Swedish Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Lena Hjelm-Wallén, former Slovakian Foreign Minister Eduard Kukan; former Danish Foreign Minister Martin Lidegaard; former Danish Foreign Minister and UN General Assembly President, Mogens Lykketoft, former Belgian Foreign Minister and European Commissioner Louis Michel, former Danish Foreign Minister Holger K. Nielsen; former Belgian, EU Special Representative to the Middle East Peace Process Marc Otte; Former Spanish Foreign Minister Ana Palacio, former Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jacques Poos; former Croatian foreign minister and deputy prime minister Vesna Pusi; former Irish President and United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson; former Dutch UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Robert Serry; former Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Møller; former Austrian Foreign Minister and Vice Chancellor Michael Spindelegger; former British Minister of State for International Development Desmond Swayne; former Finnish Foreign Minister Erkki Tuomioja; former Slovenian Foreign Minister Ivo Vajgl; former Belgian Foreign Minister Frank Vandenbroucke; former Dutch Foreign Minister Jozias van Aartsen; former French Foreign Minister Hubert Védrine; former Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt and former Czech Foreign Minister Lubomír Zaorálek.

New space promotes active learning
Photos: Fan Wang
UIC's largest active learning classroom opened its doors this semester, giving more students a chance to collaborate in a high-tech environment.
The 120-seat learning environment in 201 Science and Engineering South provides an opportunity for students in math, science and the social sciences to engage in active learning — participating in group work during class time rather than passively listening to lectures. Other active learning classrooms on campus can seat from 24 to 80 students. An open house is set for 8-9:15 a.m. Feb. 26 in SES 201.
"We're really trying to promote active learning on campus because there's so much research out there on how it improves learning outcomes," said David Taeyaerts, associate vice chancellor of learning environments and campus architect. "We realized that we were missing out on some really large introductory courses and that's where we could really make a huge impact on student success."
The new classroom in SES features 20 tables that each seat six students. Each table has its own whiteboard and an LCD display panel, where students can display content wirelessly from their personal devices, as well as share their work with classmates around the room. Each table also has push-to-talk microphones so students can amplify their voices across the large space.
"This room is all about student engagement and peer-to-peer learning," Taeyaerts said.
Martina Bode is among the first to teach in the classroom. Her Calculus II students have used the space to collaborate on worksheets and share their work with the entire class.
"The first day of classes, students were entering the classroom, looking around and saying, 'Wow, what is this?'" said Bode, clinical professor and director of calculus. "The acoustics in the room are excellent, and when students use the mic, they don't even have to lean forward or stand up, so students felt comfortable working with me."
Bode also enjoyed walking around to each table, meeting her new students.
"I was able to connect with the students," she said. "We are really excited about the room and it's a dream come true."
The design of the room is also perfect for physics students, said David Hofman, professor and head of physics. Large introductory physics courses are difficult to teach in traditional lecture halls, he said, because it's hard to reach individual students when they need help solving challenging problems. Next fall, he said, the physics curriculum will be revamped to focus on active learning.
"You cannot walk through the class and really engage students in the layout of a standard classroom," he said. "We can now have people walking around, looking over shoulders and helping break down all of the challenges when students get stuck at different levels.
"It's just going to be transformative. We wanted to incorporate active learning in the revamped curriculum, and we couldn't really do it without a classroom like this."
A mural outside the room sets the tone for the active learning space, featuring students collaborating and interconnected circular nodes with icons representing big ideas, technology and more.
"The idea behind active learning is that every student brings knowledge to the table, and by connecting, they are sharing this knowledge," Taeyaerts said.
The room was designed based on the Office of Campus Learning Environment's experimental classroom study, input from faculty and students and input from a nationwide benchmarking analysis, Taeyaerts said. Faculty members from math and physics were involved in the design process, he said.

Wife battering, an aspect of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) has remained a global concern for many decades. However, the situation has become more problematic in the 21st century despite various legislations against all forms of violence against women. This study was conducted to examine occupational roles of couples and wife battering among residents of Anambra State, Nigeria. Frustration- aggression theory was adopted as the theoretical framework for the study. Mixed methods research design was employed in the study. The multi-stage sampling procedure was used in selecting respondents in the study. A sample size of 400 was generated using Yamane formular for determining sample size. A researcher-developed questionnaire was used to collect the quantitative data while in-depth interviews were used to collect the qualitative data for the study. The quantitative data collected were processed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software and analysed using descriptive statistics such as frequency counts, simple percentages and graphic illustrations. On the other hand, the qualitative data were analysed using content analysis. Findings of the study indicated that the major consequences of wife battering include: depression and trauma, low self-esteem and social withdrawal, poor academic performance, low self-esteem and sense of insecurity on the part of the children, as well as high rate of divorce, loss of social relevance within the community and collapse of the family system. It was recommended that there is need for various social welfare and non-governmental agencies concerned with women development to reinforce policies that could help to address cultural issues that alienate the female gender from socio-economic opportunities in various communities so as to ensure that females have relatively higher access to skills and job opportunities that would help to curb the issue of wife battering. Also, existing laws on wife battering and other forms of violence against women should be strengthened.
