Students awarded for work in mental health awareness
SUMMARY: Mental health issues affect many teens and young adults, with half of all lifetime mental illnesses beginning by age 14. The Jed Foundation, created after the suicide of Jed Foundation’s founders’ son, works to protect young people’s emotional health and has helped reduce suicide attempts by 25% on participating campuses. Two advocates, Nora Sun and Rohan Satyja, were honored with the Student Voice of Mental Health Award. Sun founded the Little Talks Movement and Mercury.world, providing peer support and multilingual resources. Satyja created the Let’s Learn Foundation and Vibrant Voices Project to aid youth through books and expressive workshops. Both continue their mental health advocacy.

Youth advocates are taking it upon themselves to address the problem, creating programs and resources to help their peers. ABC’s Michelle Franzen has the story.

Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin draws cheers, brushes away talk of contract
SUMMARY: Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who has one year left on his contract, appeared at training camp signing autographs despite being placed on the physically unable to perform list with an ankle injury. McLaurin seeks a contract extension similar to Steelers’ DK Metcalf’s $51.5 million deal, but the team has reportedly declined. Both sides continue to negotiate. McLaurin remains positive, focusing on daily progress and appreciating fan support. The team’s atmosphere energized as players donned pads for the first time, signaling a step toward full-contact drills and real football action, much to the excitement of players, coaches, and fans alike.
At Washington Commanders training camp, wide receiver Terry McLaurin was back on the field for the second straight day—at least in spirit.

SUMMARY: Household robots, from AI-powered refrigerators to robotic mowers and vacuums, are increasingly common but often expensive and complicated. Consumer Reports (CR) tested Samsung’s $5,000 AI fridge, which recognized groceries only half the time, struggling with packaged items. Robotic lawn mowers require specific grass height and cost hundreds to thousands. However, robotic vacuums have improved in navigation and cleaning, offering convenience. Smart thermostats like the Google Nest Learning Thermostat earn high marks by reducing energy bills through AI-driven temperature adjustments and utility discounts.
