National Ice Cream Day : Where to Get Free Ice Cream This Sunday, July 21st


 #IceCream #IceCreamSandwich #NationalIceCreamDay #NationalIceCreamMonth

July is National Ice Cream Month, and Sunday is National Ice Cream Day, so it’s time for discounts. Refinery29 and U.S. News have lists of chains offering free and discounted ice cream. Some deals are just for Sunday, some run all next week, and some are around all month.

The outlook isn’t as great as National Donut Day, when several national chains handed out free donuts, some just asking you to buy a coffee first. So far there are only two truly free nationwide deals: “Mini cups” for two hours at Dippin’ Dots, and a free small Blizzard if you download the Dairy Queen app.

Pizza chain Your Pie is giving out free gelato on Sunday. Baskin-Robbins, Cold Stone, and Carvel have a buy-one-get-one deal. Ben & Jerry’s stores are offering nothing, which sounds less hippie and more Republican. Their pints are two for $6 at Whole Foods, Friday to Saturday. The rich get richer.

Know any ice cream deals at your local store? Know anyone offering freeice cream, no purchase necessary, no questions asked, possible to double up if you bring a hat and sunglasses and talk in a British accent? Know why ice cream stores are stingier than donut shops? Help us help America

The Wuhan coronavirus death toll in mainland China has overtaken SARS

#China  #Coronavirus #Outbreak #Quarantine #Wuhan  #SARS #Epidemic  By James Griffiths, CNN The number of Wuhan coronavirus deaths in mainland China has overtaken the 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic in the country, as  Beijing injected billions of dollars  into an economy hit by weeks of effective shutdowns to major cities. More than  360 people have died  of the disease in China, the country's health authorities said Monday. The total number of cases in mainland China stood at 17,205 as of Sunday evening, an increase of over 2,800 on the previous day, or almost 20%. The 2003 outbreak of SARS -- another coronavirus strand -- infected 5,327 people in mainland China, with 349 deaths. The first death from the virus outside China  was confirmed over the weekend . Philippine health officials said that a 44-year-old Chinese man died Saturday after flying into the country from Wuhan. So far, mo...

New fascinating insights on the psychological effects of Hugging

  #Hug #Hugging #Emotions #Stress #Mood #BlackMaleTherapist #Psychotherapy #MentalHealth  During the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns and restrictions, one of the things many people missed most was getting hugged by their loved ones. This led to an increased interest in the positive effects of hugging in the psychology research community and several studies published over the last year have yielded new insights on what it means to us to be hugged. Here are four of the most interesting new insights into the science of hugging. 1. Getting hugged by others, but also hugging yourself, reduces stress hormones A recent study by researcher Aljoscha Dreisoerner from the Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, and his team focused on the positive effects of hugging on stress (Dreisoerner et al., 2021). Interestingly, the scientists not only investigated how getting hugged by other people could reduce stress, but also whether hugging yourself (e.g., when other people are not ...

Yale neuroscientists debunked the idea that anyone is “normal”

#Yale #Normal #neuroscientists  #Study  #Human  Don’t you wish everyone would just act more normal, like you? I know I do. But normal is a relative state that depends on time, place, and circumstance. There’s no one right way to be a human, and that applies to mental as well as physical states. That’s why neuroscientists are advocating for more recognition of the bizarre normalcy of all complex humans in psychiatry—an argument that can help all of us take a bigger-picture view. A new study published in Trends in Cognitive Science on Feb. 20 debunks the myth of normalcy in people and animals. “ The Myth of Optimality in Clinical Neuroscience ” (paywall), by Avram Holmes and Lauren Patrick of the Yale University psychology department, uses evolution to show that uniformity in our brains is totally abnormal. What’s much more common in life, during its  3.5 billion years of evolving existence on Earth , is range and change, variety in and among creatures and ha...

The Unique Benefits of Teletherapy.

#BlackTherapist #Teletherapy #Triple5LightTherapy.com #AfricanAmerican #Therapist  b y   Margarita Tartakovsky, M.S. Teletherapy is seen as an inferior alternative to in-person therapy. But while it has some drawbacks, online therapy has plenty of pluses, too. First the drawbacks: Some clients miss their therapist’s office, which they associate with safety and healing, said  Jodi Aman , LCSW, a psychotherapist in Rochester, N.Y. Technical difficulties—from poor internet connections to visibility issues–can interrupt sessions. Finding a private, quiet space at home can be challenging. Still, many people prefer teletherapy. As psychologist  Regine Galanti , Ph.D, pointed out, the biggest myth about teletherapy is that it’s “a plan B approach.” Many of Galanti’s clients have been doing online sessions for years. Her teen clients, in particular, like attending therapy in their own space. Teletherapy is also convenient. “[I]t removes time barriers for people to ...
