Corcept therapeutics executive sells $146,625 in stockInter Milan midfielder Piotr Zielinski isn’t hiding his ambitions for the season after going top of the Champions League table against RB Leipzig. The Polish international spoke to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews , after the 1-0 win. Inter seemingly put one foot in the knockout rounds of the Champions League with their victory over Leipzig this evening. The Nerazzurri are now top of the table for the “league phase” of the competition. At least until Liverpool face Real Madrid tomorrow. Meanwhile, in Serie A Inter are right in the thick of a fierce title race. They are vying with the likes of Napoli, Fiorentina, Atalanta, Lazio, and Juventus at the top end of the table. Then, there will be matches in the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana on the way in the next couple months. Clearly, with all of these commitments it will be tough for Inter. But Nerazzurri midfielder Zielinski wants to be ambitious. Piotr Zielinski: “Inter Milan Want To Go All The Way In All Competitions” “Clearly winning in the Champions League is always tough, and always beautiful,” Zielinski said after Inter got a 1-0 win over Leipzig in the competition. “Particularly in front of our fans.” “We knew it wouldn’t be easy because Leipzig are a physical team,” Zielinski said. “And we did have to give a lot physically.” “In the last fifteen minutes we had to suffer. But we did well.” Then Zielinski said that “of course” Inter would like to get back to the Champions League final. “That’s what every player dreams of,” the 30-year-old said. “For me, it would be the first time.” “On the other hand, the other guys in the team know what it means to play in the final and would like to reach another one.” “But we have to win as many matches as possible to get there and then win it.” “We have a strong team,” Zielinski said. “And we want to compete on all fronts and go all the way on all of them.”December 7, 2024 This article has been reviewed according to Science X's editorial process and policies .

But for parents, setting boundaries around screens isn't just about kids; it's also about modeling a balanced approach to screen use. Our research shows parents who spend excessive time on screens may unconsciously encourage similar habits in their children. Excessive screen time in young children is linked to developmental delays in communication and problem-solving. One explanation is that screen time displaces parent–child interactions that are crucial for development. This is often framed as the child's screen time displacing these interactions. But when parents use their smartphones a lot, this is associated with lower responsiveness and attention towards their children, particularly when this screen time occurs during routines such as meal time . Parents don't need to ban screens to be more present with their kids. If parents watch age-appropriate TV with their kids, this has a positive effect on literacy —possibly due to conversations about the content of the show. There is a lot parents can do to foster healthier screen habits in the family through positive role-modeling and thoughtful management. Managing screen time is also important for a parent's own physical and mental health . The health impact of sedentary screen time Screen time often means sitting for long stretches, which can be bad for our physical and mental health. Our work has shown prolonged periods of sitting can impair blood sugar regulation , blood pressure , brain blood flow and cognitive function . But that doesn't mean you should you feel guilty every time you retire to the couch for some well-deserved Netflix. Some of these effects can be eliminated by either exercising before a prolonged bout of sitting or breaking up sitting every 30 minutes with some light activity—ideally both. You don't even need to pause the TV to fit in these activity breaks. One study found that breaking up a sedentary evening of watching TV every 30 minutes with short bursts of bodyweight exercise (squats, calf raises and hip extensions) increased sleep duration by 30 minutes . This is important because sleep boosts your immune system , which helps maintain good physical and mental health . While exercise and sleep help, screen content also matters. Mentally passive screen use—such as scrolling through social media —has been linked to higher risks of depression and even dementia , whereas mentally active screen use (problem-solving and work tasks) may actually protect you. While almost two-thirds of parents think they can reduce their sedentary screen time, for the remaining third, swapping passive for mentally active screen time is another option.

Our eyes and brain need a break too Our eyes and minds aren't designed for constant screen time. Staring at a screen for too long can give us dry eyes, headaches and blurred vision—all symptoms of eye strain . Screens also affect our brains. Research has found excessive and disordered screen use is linked to deficits in cognitive function . Our brains need breaks to consolidate information and recharge. Without regular breaks, we risk cognitive burnout, which makes it harder to stay productive, focus and potentially even manage screen time. What can we do? Guidelines recommend adults limit recreational sedentary screen time. But the message to simply "limit your screen time" may be unhelpful to many, especially when screens are embedded into modern life. Here are some other ways to reduce the negative consequences of excessive screen time: Avoid digital eye strain. Follow the 20-20-20 rule . Every 20 minutes, give your eyes a break by looking at something 20 feet (6 meters) away for 20 seconds Move regularly. Exercise regularly and break up sedentary screen time with activity every 30 minutes for metabolic and cognitive benefits Limit passive screen time. Try swapping some passive screen activities (doom scrolling) for mentally engaging ones, such as puzzles, creative projects or educational content Modeling balanced screen use for kids. This might mean viewing educational shows together and discussing them. Finally, we can't solely blame a lack of self-control for poor management of screen time. The content on our screens is designed to be addictive for parents and kids. One parent reported that their child would avoid going to the toilet to the point of wetting themselves when playing the online game Roblox, because they didn't want their character to die. Many parents can relate—albeit with better bladder control. We have all experienced doom scrolling where time seems to disappear, and we can't even recall what we saw. If you are at risk of doom scrolling right now, one idea is to listen to some tips on how to stop . Consider going for a walk and giving yourself a break. You'll feel better for it.

Top 8 Benefits of Managed IT Services in Chicago

OTTAWA - Peter Anholt tried to keep things light as he emerged from one of the elevators at Canada’s hotel. The temperature had been turned way up on the veteran hockey executive and the country’s under-20 program after a stunning upset some 12 hours earlier. “You only want to talk to me when things are bad, eh?” Anholt joked to reporters Saturday morning. Latvia scored the only goal of the shootout to upset Canada 3-2. The tournament hosts had outscored the Europeans 41-4 in four previous meetings at the tournament. (Dec. 28, 2024 / The Canadian Press) “Is that how this works?” That is indeed what happens when a powerhouse with a record 20 gold medals expected to roll over an opponent suffers one of its worst all-time defeats at the tournament. Canada was embarrassed on home soil 3-2 by Latvia — a country it had thumped by a combined 41-4 score across four previous meetings — in a shocking shootout Friday. Coming off a disastrous fifth-place finish last year in Sweden and having talked a lot about upping their compete level and preparation, the Canadians looked disjointed for long stretches against the plucky, hard-working Latvians. The power play finally clicked late in the third period, but stands at 1-for-7 through two games, while the top line of Easton Cowan, Calum Ritchie and Bradly Nadeau has yet to translate its pre-tournament chemistry into success in the spotlight. “We’re certainly trying to problem solve, but not throw the baby out with the bath water,” said Anholt, who heads the world junior setup. “We’ve got to be really careful.” Canada, which picked up a solid 4-0 victory over Finland to open its tournament Thursday, had plenty of offensive zone time and directed 57 shots at Latvian goaltender Linards Feldbergs. Included in that total, however, were far too many one-and-done efforts from the perimeter with little traffic in front. There were, of course, desperate spurts — especially late in regulation and in 3-on-3 overtime — but not nearly enough for a roster peppered with first-round NHL draft picks and top prospects. “We played really, really hard,” Anholt said in defending his players. “We controlled the puck lots. We created some chances. Their goalie was really good and they defended really good ... 99 times out of 100 we win that game.” Hoping for a big response Sunday against Germany before meeting the United States on New Year’s Eve to tie a bow on round-robin action in Group A, Canada will have to push ahead minus one of its best players. Star defenceman Matthew Schaefer was injured Friday and is done for the tournament after he slammed into Latvia’s net and skated off favouring his left shoulder area. “Tough blow for the kid,” Anholt said. “The way he plays the game, he plays it at such a high speed.” Cowan, a Toronto Maple Leafs first-round selection, said Canada remains confident despite Friday’s ugly result in the nation’s capital. “We’re good,” said the 19-year-old from Mount Brydges, Ont. “Everyone’s lost a hockey game before.” But not like that — or to that opponent on that stage. “Bit of a (crappy) feeling,” said Nadeau, a Carolina Hurricanes prospect from St-Francois-de-Madawaska, N.B. “We all know what this group is capable of. Losing that game is not our standard. “We’ll bounce back.” Some corners of social media exploded following the Latvian debacle, with heavy criticism directed at head coach Dave Cameron and the team’s overall roster construction. “We’re not really worried about it,” defenceman and Ottawa native Oliver Book, who like Cowan is back from last year’s team, said of the outside noise. “We know we didn’t play well.” Canada appears poised to mix things up against the Germans. Vancouver Canucks prospect Sawyer Mynio of Kamloops, B.C., is set draw in for Schaefer, while Anholt indicated there’s a good chance forward Carson Rehkopf will get his first crack at the 2025 tournament as a returnee. The 19-year-old Seattle Kraken second-round pick from Vaughan, Ont., has scored a combined 78 goals over his last 97 regular-season and playoff games in the Ontario Hockey League. “Great player,” Cowan said. “He finds ways.” Anholt said taking a big-picture approach is key in challenging moments. “Let’s not panic,” he said. “The world hasn’t fallen in. It’s hard, but we’ll learn from it.” It’s something Canada will have to do under intense scrutiny. “People are gonna love you and people are gonna hate you,” said Cowan, who has a goal an assist through two games. “Gotta keep doing you.” Anholt, who was also at the helm 12 months ago when Canada never got in gear, isn’t getting 2024 vibes from this year’s group. “Not even in any way, shape or form,” he said. “We’ve just got to take care of business.” They get a first shot at redemption Sunday.

Michigan aims to cap lost season by beating Ohio State

Strictly Come Dancing fans are all saying the same thing about one dancer!Fox News' Claudia Cowan joins 'America's Newsroom' to discuss the ongoing legal battle over a San Jose State transgender volleyball player. San Jose State's women's volleyball team had two players listed on the Mountain West's all-conference honorable mention list this year who are also on opposing sides of explosive lawsuits. Senior Blaire Fleming and Brooke Slusser were both on the list as well as Annie Kaminski and Kiki Remensperger from Boise State, San Diego State's Jasmine Davis, Basia Latos and Chloe Thomas from UNLV, Utah State's Kaylie Kofe and Wyoming's Sarah Holcomb. Slusser is part of two lawsuits alleging the university and Fleming actively sought to prevent Slusser and other players on the team from knowing Fleming is a biological male. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM The 2024 Mountain West volleyball season all-conference honorable mentions include San Jose State players Blaire Fleming and Brooke Slusser. (Courtesy of the Mountain West) On the court, Fleming and Slusser anchored one of the best offenses in the Mountain West. The Spartans finished the regular season with the third-best hitting percentage in the conference. Slusser finished with a top 10 individual hitting percentage in the conference. Fleming was second in the conference in kills per set with a .386, still well behind Colorado State's Malaya Jones, who led the way at .457. Fleming had a signature moment in the second-to-last game of the season against first-place Colorado State at home on Senior Day. Fleming led the game in kills with 24 and total attacks and clinched victory in the fifth set with a match-point service ace. Right after the play, Fleming was swarmed by teammates in celebration. Even Slusser got involved. This group celebration took place just days after Slusser and other Mountain West players filed a second lawsuit over Fleming's presence on the team against San Jose State and the conference. SJSU WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL'S 1ST OPPONENT DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT TRANS PLAYER, SUGGESTS MATCH WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED Slusser previously joined a lawsuit against the NCAA headed by former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines over the governing body's policies on gender ideology that have allowed transgender athletes to compete as women. In both lawsuits, Slusser has alleged Fleming's spikes travel at 80 mph. "Brooke estimates that Fleming’s spikes were traveling upward of 80 mph, which was faster than she had ever seen a woman hit a volleyball," Slusser’s complaint states. "The girls were doing everything they could to dodge Fleming’s spikes but still could not fully protect themselves." Fleming previously set a single-game record at John Champe High School with 30 kills in a match and a single-season record of 266 kills for the school's girls' volleyball team. Footage from the athlete's Hudl page of the school-record 30-kill match in September 2019 shows how hard and fast Fleming's spikes came down at the high school level against girl opponents.

(Andrew Wevers/Getty Images) President-elect Trump even commented about footage of one of Fleming's plays in which the player spiked a ball at San Diego State player Keira Herron in a match earlier this season. "I saw the slam. It was a slam. I never saw a ball hit so hard," Trump said during a Fox News town hall before he was elected to a second term. "But other people, even in volleyball, they’ve been permanently — I mean, they've been hurt really badly. Women playing men." In another match against New Mexico Oct. 18, one of Fleming's spikes knocked an opposing player to the court. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Despite the lawsuits and the controversy, Slusser and the rest of her teammates have taken the court with Fleming during a season that has included several forfeits. San Jose State finished with a 12-6 conference record, earning a No. 2 seed in the Mountain West Tournament. The team achieved this with six of those 12 wins coming via forfeit after Utah State, Boise State, Nevada and Wyoming all refused to face the program amid the ongoing controversy involving Fleming. Boise State and Wyoming each forfeited two matches against San Jose State. In matches they've played, Fleming's spiking ability is the centerpiece of the team's strategy. Even Slusser has set up Fleming for one of the athlete's feared spikes throughout the season while being part of the lawsuit that has alleged safety concerns with those spikes. As the team gears up to play in the Mountain West tournament in Las Vegas this week, it is bound to face a team that has already forfeited a match against San Jose State.

(Andrew Wevers/Getty Images) Utah State and Boise State will meet in the quarterfinals for the right to advance and face San Jose State in the semifinal after the Spartans got a first-round bye. Slusser previously told Fox News Digital her team doesn't know if the Spartans' upcoming tournament opponents will face them. "We're just mostly wondering, are teams even gonna play us, period, if we go there? Because of just everything that's happened this season," Slusser said. "It seems like every few days it looks like it'll be a fine day and everything's normal, and then something else happens. So, I truly do think everyone's just kind of taking things day by day and taking the punches as they come."
