The British royal family live their lives in the public eye, but there's one thing that not many people know: their last name. That's simply because they don't need a last name. They're so famous that they can be easily picked out without one. But when members of the royal family need to use a last name—when they're in school or in the military, for example—they actually have a few choices. Here's a list of all their choices—and how it got to be this way in the first place.

Before 1917, royals didn't use last names at all. Back then, royals had only their first names and the name of the house or dynasty they were part of. You've probably heard of some of these dynasty names, like the House of Tudor and the House of York. In 1917, when King George V had been in power for seven years, he decided to change the house name to Windsor. But he wasn't just changing the dynasty name. George V also specified that Windsor was to become the royal family's official surname, too. Today, the royal family is still known as the House of Windsor, and in a general sense, Windsor is still the royals' last name.

When Queen Elizabeth II came to power, she made a small change. In 1947, Princess Elizabeth married Philip Mountbatten. Just a few years later, after her father died, Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth II. Mount batten became Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. In 1960, Elizabeth and Philip decided that they wanted to make their branch of the royal family tree different from the others. They specified that their children would use the last name Mountbatten-Windsor. But royals don't always use the Mount batten-Windsor name.

Some members have used the name of their family's territory instead. For example, when Prince William and Prince Harry served in the army, they went by William Wales and Harry

Wales—because their father is the Prince of Wales. And Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice have gone by Eugenie York and Beatrice York, since their father, Prince Andrew, is the Duke of York.

In the nearly two centuries since German physician Carl Wunderlich established 98.6℉ as the standard "normal" body temperature, it has been used by parents and doctors alike as the measure by which fevers and often the severity of illness have been assessed.

In more recent years, however, lower body temperatures have been widely reported in healthy adults. A 2019study showed that the normal body temperature in Americans is about 97.5℉. A multinational team led by Michael Gurven and Thomas Kraft have found a similar decrease among the Tsimane, a native population in the Bolivian Amazon.

A key question, then, is why body temperatures have declined over time both for Americans and Tsimane. Extensive data available from the team's long-term research in Bolivia addresses some possibilities.

Declines might be due to the rise of modern healthcare and lower rates of lingering mild infections now as compared to the past. But while health has generally improved over the past two decades, infections are still widespread in rural Bolivia. Therefore the results suggest that reduced infection alone can't explain the observed body temperature declines.

It could be that people are in better condition, so their bodies might be working less to fight infection. Or greater access to antibiotics(抗生素) and other treatments means the duration of infection is shorter now than in the past.

Another possibility is that our bodies don't have to work as hard to regulate(调节) internal temperature because of air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter. While Tsimane body temperatures do change with time of year and weather patterns, the Tsimane still do not use any advanced technology for helping to regulate their body temperature. They do, however, have more access to clothes and blankets.

The researchers were initially surprised to find no single “magic bullet” that could explain the decline in body temperature. It's likely a combination of factors—all pointing to improved conditions.

The idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recently struck a chord with many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.

Many millennials (千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes (纷争) and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution (内卷),” joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.

“Instead of always following the ‘virtues' of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”

Interestingly, the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale (士气) far beyond their reach.

“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It's no use running away. I have to ‘stand up' and face the reality sooner or later.”

Whether you have experienced a breakup with someone you cared for deeply, whether death has taken a loved one, whether you have lost a job, learn how to move on and let go.

Let's take a look at what people often do in time of loss that actually makes the situation worse. These are some things to avoid.

Don't spend too much time or energy mourning what has happened. Let a broken romance or friendship.Even with death, there is a time to mourn, and there is a time to renew and to move on with your own life.

Don't overreact to your loss and take any sudden action without careful reflection.Seek support in the short term, and only make significant commitments after you have restored concentration and confidence.

Although you may feel the urge to avoid interacting with your friends and family, it is important in time of loss that you keep up social contacts. Try not to lose the friendships you have built, but if you do find yourself isolated from previous connections, focus all your energy on building new connections.

Don't complain about what has happened, and don't listen to your friends' complaints. It is better to focus your thoughts on positive matters.

B. Life can be joyful and rewarding again.

C. Don't respond negatively to your family.
