Stress isn’t something that we often associate with having serious consequences in our lives. However, research indicates that stress does impact physical and mental health. Poor health has other consequences, including a potentially shortened lifespan, sub-par quality of life, unhappy relationships and even financial difficulty.

Approximately 1 in 4 teenagers reported experiencing cyberbullying before graduating high school. As a parent in the age of the Internet, it can be difficult to know how to have a conversation around a sensitive topic like cyberbullying, but it is an important issue to discuss with your child. To guide you in such conversations, Dr. Bridget Green, Adjunct Faculty at George Washington University’s Graduate School of Education and Human Development, who has studied and researched traditional bullying and cyberbullying, answers questions and provides conversation starters to help you initiate a dialogue about cyberbullying with your child.
Are you a homeowner or contractor? Did you know that you are required to call the number ‘811’ before digging on any property so that you can be made aware of any underground lines (e.g. pipes, cables and associated utilities) buried in the area? Improper digging can lead to damage to underground lines that can disrupt service to an entire neighborhood, harm diggers or excavators, and even incur potential fines and repair costs.
In case you did not know, 811 is the national "Call Before You Dig" phone number designated by the Federal Communications Commission. This number was developed to eliminate the confusion of multiple "Call Before You Dig" numbers because it is easy to use, is the same for every state, and can help protect anyone who does dig from injury, expense and potential penalties.
