Video: Millennial Mom Dances Through Milestones With Kids
Every mother's approach toward parenting differs depending on a bunch of factors, including but not limited to their experiences and culture. Nevertheless, one thing's certain: they bring their own styles and practices while raising their children. This makes each of their journeys different yet beautiful at the same time. A millennial mom is now going viral on Instagram for her entertaining and rocking approach toward motherhood in a video, documenting her dancing through milestones with her kids. The girls reciprocated her energy, making it twice as exciting. This Instagram video proved that you might never meet a millennial mom as cool as Emily Scott James, leaving her kids with interesting stories to tell. James pulled off a full dance routine for her twin daughters, finding their milestones through moves, music, and of course, Sean Paul. The moment showed how she turned the small things in life into something joyous to celebrate her girlhood and motherhood at one go. It showed signs of bonding without verbally communicating, marking small wins in their long journey, and a unique parenting style. In a subtext, the mother explained, 'POV: you're a millennial teaching your babies to clap.' She couldn't have opted for a better song as she likely herself grew up listening to the artist's popular track, which has been every 90s kid's jam for years. In the clip, her two little girls sat in their high chairs while she danced in front of them, clapping to the beats of the singer's massively hit song 'Temperature.' The twins reciprocated the same energy level and appeared ecstatic to watch their mom, who put her best effort to achieve the milestone. Moreover, viewers collectively agreed that the kids would be forever grateful for their millennial mom's electric dance moves in the video. One commenter remarked, 'Those dance moves HAVE to get them clapping.' The clip even showed how the twins could barely take their eyes off James, who went all out to execute the performance and got her babies clapping. With spiked energy levels, the duo sat in their chairs looking at their mother in complete awe and a lot of admiration.

Over 34,000 Indians died in two decades due to extreme temperatures
A new study by researchers from OP Jindal Global University has found that extreme weather, both scorching heat and biting cold, has led to the deaths of more than 34,000 people in India over nearly two decades. The study researchers have urged the government to take stronger steps to protect people, especially those most vulnerable to such temperature extremes. The research, published in the journal Temperature, looked at data from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) and the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), covering the years 2001 to 2019. During this time, 19,693 people died due to heatstroke, while 15,197 lost their lives due to exposure to cold. The analysis showed that certain states reported more deaths than others. Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Punjab recorded the highest number of deaths due to heatstroke.

The study also found that working-age men were more likely to die from heatstroke, likely due to their jobs that require long hours outdoors. This points to the need for better work protections, and safety measures during extreme weather. Researchers used statistical methods like panel regression and spline regression to observe how temperature and deaths are linked in 24 Indian states between 2001 and 2014. The results showed that deaths increased sharply when temperatures moved beyond normal ranges, both in hot summers and cold winters.

(Photo: Authors' computation based on NCRB data) According to the researchers, most studies on how extreme temperatures affect health come from high-income countries. India, with its diverse climate and large population, faces unique challenges that haven't been studied enough until now. The authors of the study are now calling for improvements in India's welfare and public health systems. They said the country needs to invest in better housing, cooling and heating infrastructure, and safety nets for people who work outdoors or live in poor conditions. "Findings point toward the need to identify hotspots for heat and cold exposure deaths and to implement a framework for designing sustainable policies that can enable resilience among populations," the authors wrote. As India continues to deal with rising temperatures and harsh winters, the researchers stressed that policy action is needed to prevent these avoidable deaths in the future.
