This week we return to the topic of the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing with Emergency Medicine physician, Dr. Bryan Canterbury. Dr. Canterbury was one of many medical professionals, but only a few ER docs, who ran to the finish line on that sunny April day to treat the hundreds of victims injured after 2 bombs exploded during Boston’s hallowed race. With his typical candor & humility, Dr. Canterbury remarks on the differences between working traumas in the street versus the natural habitat of the ER physician, a well stocked & staffed hospital.
Note: I would like to correct the name mentioned in the podcast. The man who held the femoral artery of Jeff Bauman is name Carlos Arredondo, a Costa Rican-American and Gold Star Father. Carlos’ son, Marine LCpl Alexander Arredondo, was KIA in Iraq on 25 August 2004. Since then Carlos has worked as a peace activist as well as an advocate for Veteran mental health. He was at the 2013 Boston Marathon finish line to cheer on runners from National Guard Tough Ruck, one of whom was running for his son. I encourage you to find out more about Carlos Arrendondo

During the Battle of Britain the question "fighter or fighter-bomber?" had been decided once and for all: The fighter can only be used as a bomb carrier with lasting effect when sufficient air superiority has been won.
To use a fighter as a fighter-bomber when the strength of the fighter arm is inadequate to achieve air superiority is putting the cart before the horse.adolf galland

- 9th August 2011 (part 6 of the Berlin Posts)
This Greek restaurant has been here for over eight years. I try and make a visit every time I come to Berlin as the food is extremely tasty, the place appears frequented by a lot of people who live locally and as the owner has a habit of giving free ouzo at the end of meals. I tried the Gyros skerdatos with garlic which was delicious – a selection of meat cooked over a grill giving it a lovely smokey taste. Also, I tried the moussaka with a garnish of feta cheese. This moussaka is outstanding – it has an airy mousse-like layer of egg/cheese to it that I have never been able to recreate. Found the beer Haake Beck Pilsner from Bremen, Germany which I had never tried before has a refreshing taste with a nice pungent aroma.
Unfortunately, no website could be found for this restaurant.

By Sushil Batra
New Delhi [India], May 11 (ANI)): The Delhi High Court on Tuesday dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking direction to the Union Home Ministry and Delhi Police to suspend the issuance of challans by the red-light violation cameras in Delhi till the COVID-19 situation in Delhi gets better.
A Bench of Justice DN Patel and Jasmeet Singh while dismissing the PIL said the petition is useless and filed without any homework. The court said ambulances are already permitted to go straight without any hindrance at red lights.
"Due to the deterrence of drivers standing in front of ambulances at a traffic light, being scared of the repercussions of either crossing the red light or even moving over the STOP LINE to get the ambulance to pass over, the ambulances do not get their Right of Way, and have to stand for crucial minutes on every traffic light where such a camera is installed," the plea stated.
The petitioner Utkarsh Trivedi, a law student through Advocate Satyam Singh had sought direction to the respondents to either suspend the usage or cancel the issuance of challans during the lockdown imposed in Delhi, or till the COVID-19 situation becomes better.
"If the particular cameras are not suspended from the traffic lights, then it will cause an irreparable loss in life, and the violation of Right to Health under Article 21 of the Constitution of India," the petition added.
The petition further stated that, in the present situation, severe patients travelling in Ambulances with disabilities can neither enjoy the full benefit of hospitals nor do they have adequate mechanisms to get their right to health enforced. The underlying basis of the Motor Vehicles Act is to ensure that lives are saved on the road, however, with the usage of the same cameras, crucial time is being wasted on the roads. (ANI)

Reuters notes 2 Yusufiya roadside bombings which left eight people injured (seven are Iraqi soldiers), a Mosul roadside bombing injured seven people (five are police officers), a Mosul bombing claimed 1 life, and, dropping back to Friday for the rest, a Tarmiya roadside bombing which claimed 3 lives and left eight people injured, a Baghdad roadside bombing injured two people, a Baghdad mortar attack injured one person. CNN notes 4 Iraqi soldiers were killed today in a Baghdad bombing. Xinhua adds, "In Iraq's western province of Anbar, a fuel tanker was detonated near a police checkpoint in the city of Fallujah, some 50 km west of Baghdad, killing a policeman and wounding another, a provincial police source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity."
Reuters notes 1 police officer wounded in a Kirkuk attack.
Reuters notes 1 corpse discovered in Mosul, 1 in Qaiyara (the latter had been an Iraqi soldier).
As the violence increases, the political stalemate continues. March 7th, Iraq concluded Parliamentary elections. Three months and two days later, still no government. 163 seats are needed to form the executive government (prime minister and council of ministers). When no single slate wins 163 seats (or possibly higher -- 163 is the number today but the Parliament added seats this election and, in four more years, they may add more which could increase the number of seats needed to form the executive government), power-sharing coalitions must be formed with other slates, parties and/or individual candidates. (Eight Parliament seats were awarded, for example, to minority candidates who represent various religious minorities in Iraq.) Ayad Allawi is the head of Iraqiya which won 91 seats in the Parliament making it the biggest seat holder. Second place went to State Of Law which Nouri al-Maliki, the current prime minister, heads. They won 89 seats. Nouri made a big show of lodging complaints and issuing allegations to distract and delay the certification of the initial results while he formed a power-sharing coalition with third place winner Iraqi National Alliance -- this coalition still does not give them 163 seats. They are claiming they have the right to form the government. It's four months and five days and, in 2005, Iraq took four months and seven days to pick a prime minister. It's now 4 months and 24 days. Today Ernesto Londono (Washington Post) reports:
In the coming weeks, Washington will install a new ambassador and a new top general in Baghdad. American officials had hoped the next Iraqi administration would have been in place well before their change of guard to help ensure a smooth transition at a delicate time. U.S. officials have long feared that Iraq's first transfer of power as a sovereign nation could be marred by unrest and violence.
Former prime minister Ayad Allawi, one of the contenders for his former post, said in an interview Saturday that months of negotiations among blocs have not led to a resolution on who is entitled to the country's premiership or how other powerful jobs will be allocated. He said a breakthrough is unlikely before September or October because little official business is conducted during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, which begins in mid-August.
Meanwhile Sherwood Ross' "BOOK BY AN INNOCENT VICTIM SUGGESTS TORTURE BY U.S. WAS WIDESPREAD" (Veterans Today) reports on torture:
Although U.S. officials have attributed the torture of Muslim prisoners in their custody to a handful of maverick guards, in fact such criminal acts were widely perpetrated and systemic, likely involving large numbers of military personnel, a book by a survivor suggests. Additionally, guards were responsible for countless acts of murder, including death by crucifixion, lynching, poisoning, snakebite, withholding of medicines, starvation, and bludgeoning of innocent victims. And the murders committed by U.S. troops numbered at least in the hundreds, according to reliable sources.
As well, Pentagon architects designed prisons that were sadistic torture chambers in themselves, barely six feet high and seven feet wide, in which human beings were kept for months or years at a time---spaces which, one prisoner noted, are smaller than the legal requirements in Germany for doghouses. Architects who knowingly designed these hellholes may have also committed crimes against humanity.
After the photographs of sadism at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib in May, 2004, shocked the world, President Bush called the revelations “a stain on our country’s honor and our country’s reputation.” He told visiting King Abdullah of Jordan in the Oval Office that “I was sorry for the humiliation suffered by the Iraqi prisoners, and the humiliation suffered by their families.” Bush told The Washington Post, “I told him (Abdullah) I was equally sorry that people who have been seeing those pictures didn’t understand the true nature and heart of America.” A year later, Lynddie England and 10 others from the 372nd Military Police Company were convicted of torture at Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad, Iraq, yet the events of that prison were likely duplicated everywhere across the spectrum of Pentagon and CIA detention camps acting on orders from the Bush White House.
Although President Bush made the Abu Ghraib revelations sound like nothing worse than “humiliation” in fact, the Abu Ghraib photos gave the world a glimpse into far greater crimes of every sordid type---and reports compiled from other sources indicated that to be captured by the Americans was a veritable descent into hell.
The following community sites updated last night:
We'll go out with the Senate Democratic Policy Committee:
This week marks the 45th anniversary of the creation of Medicare and Medicaid. Signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson in 1965, together these two programs provide health coverage for nearly 107 million elderly, disabled, or low-income Americans who would otherwise likely be uninsured. [4/10; 6/10], Democrats fought Republican opposition to create Medicare and Medicaid in 1965 and have spent the last 45 years fighting Republican efforts to undermine these vital sources of health coverage for millions of Americans. Democrats’ most recent effort, the Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111-148 and P.L. 111-152), strengthens and improves both programs, making Medicare a stronger, more sustainable program and increasing coverage under Medicaid to provide needed health care to millions of vulnerable Americans.
Medicare and Medicaid Improve Americans’ Health and Wellbeing
Medicare improves seniors’ health and helps them get the health care they need
This year, Medicare will provide to 47 million elderly or permanently disabled Americans. [Kaiser Family Foundation, 4/10] In 1965, the year Medicare was established, only about one half of the nation’s seniors had health insurance, which generally covered only inpatient hospital costs. [Congressional Research Service, 3/10/09] Today, virtually all seniors have health insurance through Medicare, which covers far more than just hospital costs. [Kaiser Family Foundation, 4/10] Increased health coverage has improved life expectancy for America ’s seniors, which in 1960, was 14.3 years for Americans at age 65; in 2006, life expectancy at age 65 had risen to 18.5 years. [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1/10] Together, Medicare and Social Security benefits have dramatically reduced the number of American seniors living in poverty. In 1966, 28.5 percent of Americans aged 65 and older lived in poverty; in 2008, 9.7 percent of elderly Americans lived in poverty. [U.S. Census Bureau, Table 3, accessed 7/27/10]
Medicaid ensures health coverage for the poorest and sickest Americans
In 2007, Medicaid provided health and for nearly 60 million Americans, including more than one in four children and some of the poorest and sickest in our country. [Kaiser Family Foundation, 6/10] Medicaid fills gaps in our current health insurance system, providing coverage for millions of low-income families, individuals with chronic disease or disabilities, and low-income seniors who are dually-eligible for Medicare and Medicaid – Americans who would likely be uninsured without the critical coverage Medicaid provides. Because eligibility is generally tied to income level, Medicaid is designed to expand during economic recessions like the current one, helping to offset the loss of employer-sponsored health insurance coverage due to higher levels of unemployment. In fact, it is estimated that every one percentage point increase in the unemployment rate is associated with a Medicaid enrollment increase of one million people. [Kaiser Family Foundation, 6/10] Between June 2008 and June 2009, Medicaid enrollment increased by nearly 3.3 million, about 7.5 percent.
Republicans Were Wrong on Medicare from the Beginning
Despite the clear benefits of the Medicare and Medicaid programs for the American people, when the legislation creating Medicare and Medicaid passed in July 1965, the majority of Republican Senators voted against both Senate passage of Medicare and the final conference report. [Congressional Record, 7/9/1965; Social Security Administration, accessed 9/16/2009] One of those Senators, Robert Dole, later bragged about his vote against the two programs. In a 1995 speech to the American Conservative Union while campaigning for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination, after Medicare had successfully lifted millions of seniors out of poverty and assured them access to affordable health care, then-Senate Majority Leader Dole continued his party’s opposition to Medicare. Dole boasted, “I was there, fighting the fight, voting against Medicare…because we knew it wouldn't work in 1965.” [ Washington Post, 10/26/1995]
Republican opposition to Medicare continued through the mid-1990s. Then-Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, in remarks to a conference on October 24, 1995, said of Medicare, “Now, we don't get rid of it in round one because we don't think that that's politically smart, and we don't think that's the right way to go through a transition. But we believe it's going to wither on the vine because we think people are voluntarily going to leave it -- voluntarily.” [New York Times, 7/20/1996] In a 1995 meeting with reporters, then-House Majority Leader Dick Armey said, “We need to wean our old people away from Medicare.” [Newsday, 12/09/2006]
Even as recently as last year, Republicans continued their assault on Medicare. Last July, former House Minority Whip and Senate candidate Representative Roy Blunt said in a radio interview, “You could certainly argue that government should have never gotten into the health care business.” [Radio interview with The Eagle 93.9, accessed 9/20/2009] The following month, RNC Chairman Steele said, “The reality of it is that, you know, this single payer program known as Medicare is a very good example of what we should not have happen with all of our health care.” [Newsweek, 8/25/2009] House Republicans put this philosophy into practice last year, offering a budget that “would eventually end the Medicare programs as it is presently known.” [AP, 4/1/2009]
Democrats Continue to Strengthen and Improve Medicare and Medicaid
Despite Republican opposition, Democrats know that Medicare is a sacred trust with the American people and Medicaid provides vital health coverage to millions of vulnerable Americans. For years, Democrats have fought for these programs and the Americans who rely upon them. Most recently, through the Affordable Care Act, Democrats strengthened and improved both Medicare and Medicaid, making them stronger, more sustainable programs.
Medicare Improvements in the Affordable Care Act
The Affordable Care Act increases benefits and strengthens the program to ensure Medicare’s sustainability for years to come, extending Medicare solvency by twelve years. [Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, 4/22/10] The new health reform law preserves all guaranteed and improves the quality of care Medicare patients receive by:
- Making premiums more affordable, eliminating unnecessary federal spending like substantial overpayments to Medicare Advantage plans;
- Filling in the “ ,” providing a $250 rebate check to seniors who do not receive Medicare Extra Help and hit the “donut hole” this year, and a 50 percent discount on brand-name drugs and biologics purchased in the “donut hole” starting next year, until the “donut hole” is filled in by 2020;
- Providing seniors with free annual wellness visits, to help seniors and their doctors develop personalized prevention plans;
- Eliminating out-of-pocket costs for recommended and screenings;
- Encouraging doctors and other to work together to better serve a patient’s needs, coordinate care across health care settings, and create “health homes” to better care for seniors with chronic illnesses;
- Supporting seniors in rural and frontier areas, by protecting access to care; and
- Establishing an Innovation Center to develop and expand patient-centered payment models to encourage evidence-based, coordinated care.
Medicaid Improvements in the Affordable Care Act
The Affordable Care Act increases coverage under Medicaid and improves health care benefits for Medicaid enrollees by:
- Increasing Medicaid eligibility to people with income up to 133 percent of the ;
- Continuing the successful Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), that provides health care to 7 million American children;
- Simplifying the enrollment process and streamlining income standards to facilitate the use of a single application for Medicaid, CHIP, or private insurance tax credits;
- Establishing the Community First Choice option to provide community-based supports and services to individuals with disabilities;
- Creating a new office for vulnerable Americans who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid, within the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, to coordinate their coverage and services;
- Improving coverage of and access to recommended preventive services by encouraging states to improve coverage and increasing federal funding to states that provide these services without cost-sharing;
- Offering incentives to Medicaid beneficiaries who successfully complete certain healthy lifestyle programs targeting chronic disease risk factors; and
- Modernizing and improving Medicaid through delivery system reforms, such as the development and expansion of quality measures, testing a bundled payment program for acute and post-acute care, establishing a demonstration project for accountable care organizations for children, and creating a medical home state option for chronically ill beneficiaries.
Despite Republican opposition, Senate Democrats remain committed to strengthening and improving Medicare and Medicaid, two critical health care programs on which millions of Americans rely for vital health care services.

Engage in activities and thoughts that expand your awareness and break the confines of your comfort zone. Expand your awareness and imagination and give your consciousness a VIP pass to the cosmic amusement park. Engross yourself in nature's symphony, meditate in serene solitude, or immerse yourself in art and creativity. By embracing novel experiences, you awaken dormant aspects of consciousness and invite fresh perspectives into your life.
Expand your imagination and imagine the unimaginable. Think of it as strapping on a pair of intergalactic roller skates and gliding through the universe, dodging asteroids of boredom and doing loop-de-loops around black holes of monotony. Take a moment to appreciate the sheer absurdity of it all. Stargaze with wonder, dance like nobody's watching (unless you're on a reality show), or dive headfirst into a pile of fluffy kittens (metaphorically, of course). By embracing these out-of-this-world experiences, you'll awaken dormant dimensions of your consciousness and unleash your inner galactic explorer.
Who knows, you might even stumble upon a planet made entirely of chocolate or discover the meaning of life at the bottom of a tub of ice cream. The possibilities are as infinite as the universe itself, so grab your imagination and let's go on an adventure that's out of this world, quite literally!
Another way to tap into your consciousness is to challenge the beliefs and assumptions that shape your perception of reality. We often operate on autopilot, accepting inherited beliefs without questioning their validity. Delve deep into the depths of your convictions and inquire whether they align with your authentic self. By examining and reshaping these beliefs, you expand the horizons of consciousness, opening doors to new possibilities.
Think of it like playing a game of belief-busting bingo! Take those inherited beliefs and assumptions out for a spin on the dance floor of doubt. Imagine you're at a fancy ball, waltzing with your deeply held convictions, when suddenly the music stops and in walks a mischievous philosopher, armed with a feather duster and a skeptical smirk. With a swift flick of the wrist, they start questioning everything you thought you knew. It's like a mental magic trick where rabbits of doubt and truth-seeking do somersaults out of your hat of certainty.
Roll up your sleeves and prepare for some belief acrobatics. Don't be surprised if you find yourself scratching your head and wondering, "Wait, why do we park in driveways and drive on parkways?" It's a wild ride of intellectual exploration where you'll discover that sometimes the most cherished beliefs are just wobbly Jenga towers waiting to be toppled. Grab your thinking cap and join the belief-busting bonanza! Just be careful not to trip over your own skepticism on the way to the buffet of enlightenment.
Find moments of stillness in this chaotic world. In a society perpetually bombarded by noise and distractions, seek solitude and silence. Whether through meditation, walks in nature, or quiet reflection, embrace these moments of tranquility. It is in stillness that consciousness thrives, offering profound insights and a deeper connection with your true self.
Picture yourself as a zen master of tranquility, sitting cross-legged on a fluffy cloud, trying to achieve inner peace while your neighbor's lawnmower roars like a rebellious lion in the background. Ah, the sweet symphony of serenity interrupted by the chaotic chorus of everyday life! It's like trying to find stillness in the middle of a crowded taxi rank during rush hour. But fear not, aspiring yogi!
Embracing stillness is a bit like trying to catch a slippery fish with your bare hands; challenging, but not impossible. So, find your inner zen warrior, jump into your most fashionable yoga pants (because inner peace is all about fashion), and prepare to wage war against the armies of distractions.
Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and let the chaotic symphony fade into the background as you find your own little oasis of calm, even if it's just for a few precious moments. And if all else fails, remember that laughter is the best medicine for a restless mind, so feel free to giggle at the irony of seeking stillness in a world that won't sit still for a second.
Another way to tap into your consciousness is to cultivate a sense of gratitude and compassion towards yourself and others. Express appreciation for the simple joys of life and extend kindness to those around you. Gratitude and compassion infuse your consciousness with positivity, elevating your awareness and fostering a deeper sense of interconnectedness.
Practicing gratitude and compassion is like becoming a superhero with an arsenal of empathy and a cape made of kindness. You'll be the Robin Hood of good vibes, spreading gratitude and compassion wherever you go. Picture yourself in a crowded city street, armed with a smile and armed with compliments, as you brighten the days of unsuspecting strangers. Watch as their puzzled expressions turn into smiles and they wonder if they accidentally stumbled into a parallel universe where everyone is extra nice.
And when it comes to gratitude, it's like having a secret weapon that turns even the most mundane moments into joyous celebrations. You'll find yourself appreciating the little things, like the perfect slice of pizza or the joy of finding a matching pair of socks. So, embrace your inner superhero, cape and all, and get ready to make the world a better place, one grateful thought and compassionate act at a time. And who knows, maybe you'll even receive a cape upgrade for your exceptional efforts in spreading laughter and love!
Embarking on the journey to awaken your consciousness is a profound and transformative endeavor. By embracing self-reflection, mindfulness, questioning beliefs, cultivating gratitude and compassion, engaging in soulful practices, and integrating conscious living into your daily life, you can embark on a path of self-discovery and personal transformation.
As you awaken your consciousness, you tap into your true essence, creating a life of greater purpose, joy, and fulfillment. Consciousness is the key that unlocks the hidden potential within us all.
Embrace this journey with an open heart and a sense of humor because, let's face it, laughter is the best way to elevate your consciousness and navigate those inevitable moments of existential confusion. Remember, even the enlightened ones enjoy a good laugh, especially when they realize the cosmic joke of existence.
So, embrace your journey with a smile, and let your awakened consciousness be accompanied by a hearty chuckle along the way.
Join me in the next part as we explore ways to meditate, ways to lucid dream and ways to explore our consciousness.

My favorite place in Zurich, Prime Tower, view from the Duttweilerbrücke
Main stations are important hubs for commuters and travelers. I love the hustle and bustle. Each traveler carries his own story. Some of them commute to work, others change trains or are on the way to the airport. Maybe they start already a new travel adventure. You never know. Everything is on the move.
Everybody is on the move – buildings aim high
The pictures show the Prime Tower, which was the highest skyscraper in the past in Switzerland (2011-2015). In 2016 the 126 meters were hit by the Roche Tower in Basel with a high of 178 meters. Nevertheless, the Prime Tower has a wonderful color play during the sunset or the sunrise. The surface of the building shines golden when the sunlight touches the walls. The office building was designed by the architects Gigon/Guyer and cost CHF 380 m. The Clouds, a bar & restaurant, is located on the top there. The view from the restaurant is awesome.

As mounting evidence suggests that kids and mobile devices are a toxic combination, many parents are facing difficult challenges in their stance on limiting smartphone and computer usage for their children. Although children continue to have access to mobile devices at younger ages, it’s becoming clear that this poses numerous risks in regards to healthy physical, psychological, social, and spiritual development.
Because of this, a counter-movement is emerging centered on not giving mobile devices to tweens and teens until they graduate from high school. But as parents work to stem the tide of peer pressure in making these “radical” decisions, it is becoming clear that their own resistant kids aren’t the only deterrents to this healthy option.
Recently, I was talking with a friend whose daughter is one of the few teens without a mobile phone or tablet getting ready to start high school. As in a number of conversations before, she was bemoaning the fact that although she felt that withholding the phone was the best option, a number of factors, orchestrated by adults in various positions, were making this decision very challenging.
In no particular order, here are the 10 adults who are making it difficult for other parents to restrict devices:
The parent who got rid of his landline
Phoneless kids who attend parties or get-togethers at their friends houses might feel awkward if that house is without a landline, which stores no personal information or has no private texts popping onto the screen at any given moment. How do they call home to get picked up or check in? They can ask their friends to borrow their phones — but that’s not a desirable option. They can ask the hosting parents to borrow their device — an even less popular option, because kids fear accidentally infringing on an adult’s sense of privacy.
There was a time and place (not that long ago) when coaches set a fixed, consistent time for practices and and games (the same can be said for other hobbies outside of sports). Parents understood that except in extenuating circumstances, practices would begin and end as scheduled. But now, as many adults embrace the “on the fly” mentality, parents are left feeling that they and their kids have to be “on call” in case of a last minute change in plans.
Electronic devices are the go-to Christmas gift for kids — but it’s often the grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other family members who are buying them, often without asking the parent’s permission first. Over the years, I have had many parents tell me that more than even their kid’s friends, it is the grandparents who are making it most difficult to sustain good tech decisions.
More and more, teachers are assigning homework online — and many even require students to download texting apps like Remind for assignments, reminders, and to communicate. This puts parents who are pushing against tech, or want to take a kid’s phone away as part of a consequence, in a tricky situation. “But, Mom! I need my phone to finish my English assignment!” This often creates conflict between parents trying to make the right decisions and teens indicating that they are, too — even if being on the computers (for homework) leads to increased distraction and illicit activities.
Middle school teachers
Even beyond the excessive use of screens for “educational purposes,” teachers — even as early as middle school — are asking kids to pull their phones out in class, and use them for classwork and assignments. If your child is the oddball that doesn’t have a phone? She’s potentially left with not only feeling embarrassed in front of her peers, but also your teacher (even if nothing is said).
High school teachers
Asking students to use their personal mobile devices is bad enough. But when teachers are routinely texting assignments to underage students at various points throughout the afternoon and evening, the blurred boundaries between adult and youth, and work and play (or rest), suddenly pose a real problem. In the last few years, exasperated parents and students have come to me noting the obvious dilemma this poses, including disorganization and poor modeling of boundaries that are being displayed.
Siblings and family members
There’s nothing wrong with the occasional video game to pass the time. But when family members hand over their mobile devices at a moment’s notice to our kids, and for long periods of time, it inadvertently supports the very habits we are trying to break (or prevent altogether). What may start as a benign practice is often easily abused by children who simply want to get an electronic fix anyway possible, and sense that extended family members provide the easiest access.
As tweens and teens move from talking on the phone to texting to eventually using various apps (e.g., Snapchat, Instagram) for most communication, adults are slowly doing the same thing. Recently, it was noted by a friend that in the sales world, the practice of having conversations and emailing is quickly giving way to texting and other immediate, flexible forms of communication. Although this may be the going trend, and other methods of communication are simply neglected, it forces parents into feeling that their youth must have all communication options at hand, even if it poses obvious risks.
“All of my son’s friends have phones … not letting my son have one is just going to isolate him socially.”
“At least if my daughter has a phone, I can reach her anytime and I know where she is.”
“Everyone has phones today … it’s how the world works. How can I fight it?”
So many adults, including other parents, just accept the going trends regarding tech usage even when it defies what is actually best for their kids. All of these sentiments, while valid in a way, make it more difficult on other parents to make good decisions. “Parent pressure” is a real commodity, and as many parents resign to allow immersive technology usage in their homes, they are only making it harder on all parents to make decisions based on science and values.
Ultimately, if we as a culture are going to truly teach our children to use tech wisely, it must start from the top down. Consistency in what we say and do is the key to making good decisions and setting healthy practices. Otherwise, we might unintentionally undermine those parents trying really hard to encourage healthy development. Whether we like it or not, it really does take a village to raise a child, or a village to make it really difficult to do so.

¼ cup balsamic vinegar
¼ tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
In a large fry pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and saute for 20-25 minutes or until the onions turn a golden brown. (Do not cook over high heat as the onions will char before the insides have softened and sweetened.

Catherine Bearder, Lib Dem Euro MP for South East England, has urged the European Commission and Member States to ensure trafficked children are given comprehensive and specialist support.
Hours after the Commission announced new legislation to stop the trafficking of children, Catherine called on the Commission and the European governments to prioritise the interests of the victims in its approach to tackling trafficking in Europe. At her hearing in the European Parliament on Tuesday 19th January, Commissioner-Designate for Home Affairs, Cecilia Malmström, announced the Commission will produce legislative proposals on how to tackle child trafficking before the end of the year.
Catherine said, "I want to urge both Council and Commission to be particularly vigilant in setting up supports for the victims of trafficking, in particular the specific needs of trafficked children - which studies have shown are quite different to those of trafficked adults."
"There are children in my own region who are trafficked, but we find that even after registration with social services, many disappear - because they remain under the control of the traffickers who find it too easy to take them again for re-trafficking. A comprehensive and specialist approach to their protection and long term support is the only way to combat this."
"In the UK, 325 children were identified as being potential victims of trafficking last year, this of course is not to mention the many that were trafficked but not identified by the local authorities. These are people are voiceless and vulnerable and they are relying on the European Union to speak out for them and stop this abhorrent crime."
"I will be scrutinising with interest what I hope will be far reaching proposals by the Commission in this area."

A pip stands for "percentage in point" or "price interest point" and represents the smallest unit of measurement for price movements in forex trading.
Most currency pairs are quoted with four decimal places, with a pip representing a change in the fourth decimal place.
For currency pairs quoted with two decimal places, like the Japanese yen (JPY), a pip represents a change in the second decimal place.
The value of a pip depends on the lot size and the currency pair being traded.
For standard lot sizes (100,000 units), a pip is typically worth $10 for currency pairs where the USD is the quote currency.
To calculate the monetary value of a pip, use the formula: Value per pip = (1 pip / Exchange rate) * Lot size.
Pips are used to measure price movements, calculate profits and losses, and determine the spread (difference between bid and ask price) in forex trading.
Pips allow traders to quantify and compare price changes across different currency pairs and timeframes.
Pip values can vary based on the account denomination (e.g., if it's denominated in a currency other than the base currency of the currency pair).
Understanding pips is essential for risk management, position sizing, and determining the potential profitability of trades in forex trading.

(W) Karl Kerschl, Cameron Stewart (A) Cameron Stewart (A/CA) Karl Kerschl
Karl Kerschl is a Canadian comic book artist. He is best known for his work on DC Comics books, including Adventures of Superman, Majestic, All-Flash, Teen Titans: Year One
and Gotham Academy.
Way back in 2009/2010, Studio Lounak took its first steps into the world of transmedia when Ubisoft tasked them with expanding the ASSASSIN'S CREED® universe and creating the first ever comic book adaptation
of their blockbuster video game series.
What better way to celebrate these beginnings than with the re-release of the classic tale ASSASSIN'S CREED®: THE FALL
that introduced the Assassin Nikolai Orelov
, a Ukrainian immigrant who followed in his father's footsteps and joined the Assassin's Brotherhood in Tsarist Russia to combat the monarchy. Join Orelov in his pursuit of an artifact of immense power, from the mysterious and devastating Tunguska explosion to the streets of Petrograd, just as the Bolshevik Revolution takes hold. Meanwhile, in modern times, a troubled young drifter, Daniel Cross, struggles with unsettling visions of a possible past life...visions that have catastrophic and irreversible consequences for the present. ASSASSIN'S CREED®: THE FALL - PRESTIGE FORMAT
is a thrilling, 80-page, time-spanning adventure wrapped in all new covers, with revisited dialogue and colors. This is a must have for both longtime fans of the series and newcomers alike. Assassin's Creed: The Fall is the best video game tie-in comic series I've ever read.
From the small details of the grimy club to the era-specific train cars, weapons, and clothing of 1888, The Fall all at once looks like a history lesson and a tale of the modern underground.
Other comics creators, take note: this is how you do it.
As far as these (video games to) comic book translations go, The Fall quickly stands out as one of the more slick and smartly executed. Assassin's Creed®: The Fall is a welcome breath of fresh air in the normally depressing video game comic market.

(Nov. 12, 1892-Nov. 12, 1950). Albert G. Feeney attended St. John’s School (see) and in Indianapolis, then went to the University of Notre Dame where he played football (as a teammate of future coach Knute Rockne) and basketball. Following graduation in 1914, he played both sports professionally. Feeney retired from pro football in 1926 but continued coaching at Notre Dame, serving his former teammate as an advisory line coach until Rockne’s death in 1931. He also directed Cathedral High School’s football team in Indianapolis, where he lost only one game in three years.
In 1933, Feeney organized the State Board of Public Safety and became its first director. This appointment also made him superintendent of the Indiana State Police, director of the State Fire Marshal’s Office, and in charge of the Department of Criminal Identification and Investigation. Although honored as Indiana’s outstanding law enforcement officer, Governor Paul V. McNutt dismissed him in 1935 after a long battle between Feeney and the governor’s patronage secretary, who used state policemen for political work despite Feeney’s repeated prohibitions of such activity.
Feeney was electedin 1938 and 1940. As sheriff, he reduced juvenile delinquency, had all deputies study first aid, equipped department cars with two-way radios, improved conditions at the county jail, and required school bus inspections. Later in the 1940s, he was the safety director for and a member of the Marion County Welfare Board.
Elected mayor of Indianapolis for the term beginning January 1, 1948, Feeney sought to improve the city’s shaky financial situation. He directed that parking tickets and fines were to be paid rather than being “fixed” by friends. He also sold the mayor’s car and fired his chauffeur to save money. He died unexpectedly before completing his term of office.

The metal industry in the Chicago metropolitan area stands to gain from a special U.S. Department of Commerce designation that could funnel more manufacturing dollars into the region.
The newly minted Chicago Metro Metal Consortium Manufacturing Community will be eligible for a share of $1.3 billion in federal funding for workforce development, research, infrastructure, international trade and capital access. Federal funding could support existing economic development strategies, including training workers at community colleges and mapping the local supply chain to identify gaps.
Most of the primary metals manufacturing in the Chicago metro takes place in Northwest Indiana, and South Works, Republic Steel and other South Side Chicago mills have long since closed. But the federally designated area consists only of seven counties in Northeastern Illinois.
Chicago, Cook County, the University of Illinois and more than 20 organizations and governments partnered to secure the special federal designation. None of the partners are from Northwest Indiana or the Hoosier State.
As one of the first 12 manufacturing communities, the Chicago area will get support from 11 federal agencies and an infusion of funding that is intended to accelerate the resurgence of manufacturing nationwide. The Chicago metro is a top metal manufacturing hub, with many of the firms clustered in Hegewisch and the south suburbs. More than 3,700 metal and machining firms in Chicago land generate $30 billion in annual revenue and employ 100,000 workers.
Chicago has long been a hub because of its transportation infrastructure, which includes six Class 1 railroads, seven interstate highways and the country's second busiest international cargo airport.
"The Chicago Metro Metal Consortium will build on the region's metal and transportation assets to create well-paying jobs while accelerating the resurgence of manufacturing in our area," Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle said. "This designation is the result of a remarkable partnership with local municipalities and organizations which allows us to work together to capitalize on our strategic location and strong capacity for economic growth."

Nashville, Tenn.--Cranking up their defensive intensity in the second half after trailing by 10 points at intermission, the Auburn Tigers advanced to the third round of the SEC Basketball Tournament with a 66-59 upset victory over the Texas A&M Aggies on Thursday.
The Tigers advance to a round three game on Friday vs. an LSU team that has received two byes based on its strong regular season, which included a loss to Auburn in Baton Rouge and a win at Auburn Arena. Tipoff is scheduled for approximately 2:30 p.m. CDT at Bridgestone Arena.
Auburn forced 19 turnovers and hounded A&M’s star point guard Alex Caruso into 10 of those miscues in dealing a major blow to the Aggies’ NCAA Tournament hopes.
“You have to point to the second half defense on why we won this game,” Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said. “Jordon Granger started it off with a steal and a dunk and after that we did a good job of guarding their stuff, and they run great stuff.”
Auburn held the Aggies to 26.3 percent shooting in the second half after they made 54.2 percent of their first half field goals.
“Our guys haven’t quit and they are being rewarded for that now,” said Pearl, whose team had lost six consecutive games to close the regular season. Auburn’s record improved to 14-19 while the Aggies dropped to 20-11 after losing a game they really needed to win as an NCAA Tournament bubble team.
“Yesterday’s win was for our fans, our former players and everybody who hung in there and didn’t quit on us,” Pearl said. “This one was for our players.”
Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy agreed with Pearl that the start of the second half was when Auburn took control with its defense that forced 19 turnovers for the game. “You’ve got to give Auburn credit,” he said. “They got going a little bit and their confidence was better than ours.”
Pearl said Auburn’s players did a good job of preventing the Aggies from throwing the ball inside to their post players, which was the source of many of the Texas A&M turnovers and credited defensive coordinator Chuck Person with helping come up with the game plan to defend the Aggies.
Texas A&M out-shot the Tigers 42.6 percent to 34 percent from the field and out-rebounded Auburn 38-35, but the aggressive Tigers outscored the Aggies 20-5 in the points off of turnovers statistic and held an 8-4 edge in fastbreak points.
Auburn has been one of the top teams in the country in getting to the foul line and that was another key vs. Texas A&M. Auburn shot 38 free throws vs. the Aggies and made 24 while the Aggies were 14-21 at the foul line.
The Tigers also helped their cause by making eight three-pointers led by K.T. Harrell, who was 4-6 behind the three-point line on the way to scoring a game-high 25 points.
Cinmeon Bowers added 10 points and led the Tigers in rebounds with eight. Jordon Granger added seven rebounds plus five points and won praise from Pearl for his defense on Jalen Jones, who was 2-7 shooting.
K.C. Ross-Miller scored eight points and dished out four assists in just 17 minutes after getting into early foul trouble. Malcolm Canada played 23 minutes at point guard and scored seven points, dished out three assists and added three steals.
The Tigers took the early lead, jumping ahead 10-4 with the help of treys by T.J. Lang and Harrell. AU’s biggest lead came at the 16:18 mark on a layup by Bowers.
Auburn then hit a cold streak with its shooting allowing the Aggies to take the lead at 13-12 on a jump shot by Jalen Jones at the 10:40 mark. Texas A&M built the first half lead to as many as 11 points at 29-18 on the way to a 33-23 margin at the break.
Halftime Numbers: Harrell led all scorers with 14 points, but no other Tiger got going offensively. Bowers scored four points in the period, Lang added three and Antoine Mason scored two points. Davonte Fitzgerald, a sub who hit all three of his shots in the half, led the Aggies in scoring with seven points.
Shooting was the big issue for the Tigers in the first half as they hit just 7-25 field goals for 28 percent while A&M made 13-24 for 54.2 percent. Auburn was 3-12 on threes and 6-10 at the foul. A&M hit 5-9 threes and both of its foul shots.
Auburn turned the ball over just four times in the half, three fewer than the Aggies, who held a 19-13 rebounding advantage at halftime.
Auburn outscored the Aggies 16-1 prior to the first media timeout of the second half at 15:42. The Tigers did it with good defense while nailing 6-8 field goals, including all four of their three-pointers. A three from the wing by Canada put the Tigers back on top.
K.C. Ross-Miller drives vs. Alex Caruso.
The Tigers steadily increased their lead even though they cooled off with their shooting. They outscored the Aggies 43-26 in the second half and built the lead to as many as a dozen points with 1:52 to play.
Granger said Auburn’s ability to hang tough on the boards with the bigger Aggies was a key to the victory. “It was a very tough thing to do because we are small as a team, but we just wanted it more even though they (Texas A&M) played hard.”
Granger noted that their head coach “ripped us out a little bit” with his halftime talk and said he wanted to make a big early play after halftime, which happened with the immediate steal and dunk.
“Defense won this game for us,” the junior forward said. “In nine of Texas A&M’s 10 losses they scored under 64 points. We had to keep them under 60.”
Worth Noting, Part 1: Freshman guard T.J. Lang said “rebounding and defense” were the points of emphasis with the coaching staff, who were on the game plan with the players on Thursday morning following the Thursday night win vs. Mississippi State.
Worth Noting, Part 2: Senior guard Antoine Mason, the nation’s leading returner scorer from last season, said the win over the Aggies was a display of the power of defense. “If you play good defense, you give yourself and chance to win,” he said.
Talking about the second half surge, Mason said, “We just didn’t want to go home. We have been done so long we didn’t want to finish on bad terms so we gave it all we have got.”

U.S. economy loses 101,000 more jobs in December / Retail sector and airlines take largest hit
In the latest sign that the recovery that began a year ago has failed to boost the labor market, the nation's economy shed 101,000 jobs in December, led by an unexpected seasonal drop in retail employment.
Despite the shrinking payrolls, the jobless rate was unchanged at 6 percent,
and a total of 8.6 million people officially were counted as unemployed, the Labor Department reported Friday. But minority workers were hit especially hard, the unemployment rate for blacks rising to 11.5 percent from 11 percent in November.
The unemployment rate and the number of jobs created or lost can diverge because the Labor Department calculates the two statistics using separate surveys: one of households, which is used to calculate the unemployment rate; and one of employers, which measures monthly gains or losses of jobs. Experts regard the jobs data as the more reliable measure of the health of the labor market.
December's job losses were the biggest since February 2002, when 165,000 jobs disappeared from the economy. During the last four months of 2002, the nation's payrolls shrank by more than 200,000.
In Washington, a White House spokesman said President Bush is "very concerned about the potential for a jobless recovery" and wants Congress to quickly approve his $674 billion tax cut plan.
The nation's economy has been growing in fits and starts for about a year. But, in a business climate marked by weak demand, heavy global competition and clouds of war and terrorism, employers are reluctant to hire more workers. Instead, they are asking a shrinking pool of employees to do more, a trend that boosts productivity statistics at the same time it pads the unemployment rolls.
"Employers were protecting the bottom line by doing more with less," said Diane Swonk, chief economist with Bank One in Chicago.
The retail sector is a prime example. Amid one of the weakest holiday shopping seasons in decades, employers hired far fewer temporary workers than normal. The result, after seasonal adjustment, was a loss of 104,000 retail jobs during the month, including 63,000 at restaurants and bars.
Good Guys, the consumer electronics chain headquartered in Alameda, usually adds about 200 in-store and warehouse workers at its nearly two dozen Bay Area facilities during the holidays.
In 2002, "we hired slightly fewer people, brought them on later and had them for a shorter time," said spokeswoman Kristen Lark. The company cut back on seasonal hiring because of tough business conditions and a shorter holiday selling season, Lark said.
With corporate America in a gloomy mood, the labor market is not likely to get better soon, forecasters said. Jobs continue to disappear at a rapid pace in such sectors as telecommunications and manufacturing. The air transportation industry shed 17,000 jobs in December.
"The unemployment rate could be somewhere close to 6.5 percent by midyear," said Gerald Cohen, senior economist at brokerage giant Merrill Lynch. "You need job growth of 100,000 a month just to stabilize the unemployment rate."
Government continued to add jobs in December. But that is likely to change as state and local government cutbacks take effect in the months ahead, experts said.
There were some sectors that showed strength in December, including real estate, health services, recreation services and the hotel industry. In addition, employment through temporary personnel agencies expanded.
More workers found themselves unable to find jobs after prolonged searches. About 1.86 million people were unemployed for more than six months, putting long-term joblessness at its highest level in 10 years. The average spell of unemployment reached 18.5 weeks, the longest of the current economic cycle, the Labor Department reported.


Although songwriters walking the red carpet at the 32nd annual ASCAP Pop Music Awards on Wednesday night were being recognized for past work, many of them shared news of upcoming albums they’re working on.
Lorde: Joel Little, who received awards for co-writing “Royals” and “Team” with Lorde, says he and the New Zealand singer have begun work on her follow-up to 2013’s Pure Heroine on Lava/Republic. “We’ve written a couple of songs,” he says. “We haven’t done a whole lot of production on it yet, we just want to make sure the songs are really good and try and experiment with some new things — just different beats and whatever occurs in the studio.” With no release date set, Little says the pair are “not pigeonholing ourselves in any particular way” and are “just trying new things. We can take the time to make sure we’ve explored every option.”
Iggy Azalea: Producer/songwriters Kurtis McKenzie and Jon Mills, collectively known as The Arcade, have begun writing songs for Azalea’s new album. The pair, who collected an award for co-writing Azalea’s breakthrough hit “Fancy,” said that so far, they are concentrating on similarly upbeat, confident fare. They added that other writers were penning some slower tempo songs so the Australian rapper’s second Def Jam album — and follow up to 2014’s The New Classic — would show more facets of Azalea.
Leona Lewis: Toby Gad, who captured Song of the Year honors for co-writing John Legend’s smash “All of Me,” just wrapped work with a re-invigorated Leona Lewis, whose next album, I Am, will come out on Def Jam in the U.S. Lewis parted ways with Syco/RCA after the relatively disappointing performance of her last album, 2012’s Glassheart. “She has a completely new team. When she left the old team, she was angry and upset and that was great to write songs about that and that led to amazing songs,” Gad says. “The two of us wrote most of the album together and just put our feelings into songs.” Lewis will perform “emotion” first single, “Fire (Under My Feet),” on television in the U.K. next week, with the single going to radio in two weeks. The U.S. roll out will begin shortly thereafter, with the album expected to come out later this year.
Tom Morello: The Rage Against the Machine/Audioslave guitarist is working on a solo album as Tom Morello, as opposed to his politically-charged folk alter ego The Nightwatchman. Producer/instrumentalist Carl Restivo, who took part in the Constantine Maroulis-led tribute to Kiss at the ASCAP Awards, tells Billboard that he and Morello have worked on four songs together. “It’s rock, but it’s pretty experimental, too. It’s slamming, hard hitting,” he says, adding that there are also electronic elements mixed in. Restivo is co-producing with Morello and handling much of the programming. “He writes all music and, obviously, the lyrics. Some of the songs, I take what he does –sometimes it’s just a shell with the electric guitar and a click track or maybe a bass line — and I’ll go program all the drums [and] put in the synths, the bass synths.” Restivo also hinted that there may be some high profile guests, but said that Morello’s recent touring mate, Bruce Springsteen, was not one of them. Morello has been shopping the project, but no label or release date has been announced, according to Restivo.

Great Bridge Lock Replacement 2014
A crane lowers one of two refurbished lock gates into place at the Great Bridge Lock here Feb. 20, 2014 as part of a service plan to increase the lifespan of the lock. The Great Bridge Lock gates, which were constructed by the Corps in 1932, are part of the eight sets of gates throughout the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal waterway. Each set of canal gates, which are managed and operated by the Norfolk District, is removed and refurbished on a rotational basis every 15 to 20 years. The Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal together with the Dismal Swamp Canal form the historic Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, which provides pleasure boaters and commercial shippers with a protected inland channel between Norfolk, Va. and Miami, Fla.

Adapteva gets $854K in debt financing
Two-and-a-half years after announcing a $1.5 million Series A round which founder Andreas Olofsson said should be the only funding the company will need, and less than a year after reaching profitability, Adapteva Inc. has taken on $854,000 in debt financing, according to federal filings.
The Lexington-based chip maker got its first round of institutional funding in November 2009, filing for the receipt of $375,000 out of the $1.5 million. Olofsson said at the time that the funding came from BittWare Inc., a Concord, N.H.-based maker of computer boards similar to those being developed by Adapteva. He also told Mass High Tech that Adapteva would have product ready to be sold in 2010, and that “if everything goes well we could be profitable in 2011, without having to take any more funding,” he said.
In November 2010, Adapteva amended the initial filing to reflect the receipt of another $600,000.
The recent debt financing comes from seven investors who are not listed on the filing. Listed as a related person, other than Olofsson, is BittWare CEO Jeff Milrod.
Last September, the company reported that it achieved profitability. The then-four-person company said it had gone through three generations of silicon in less than two years.
