Let Children Get Bored Again

Leave a comment

.

“I’m bored.” It’s a puny little phrase, yet it has the power to fill parents with a cascade of dread, annoyance and guilt. If someone around here is bored, someone else must have failed to enlighten or enrich or divert. And how can anyone — child or adult — claim boredom when there’s so much that can and should be done? Immediately.

But boredom is something to experience rather than hastily swipe away. And not as some kind of cruel Victorian conditioning, recommended because it’s awful and toughens you up. Despite the lesson most adults learned growing up — boredom is for boring people — boredom is useful. It’s good for you.

4 Injured, 3 Arrested In Shooting Near Massive Raptors Parade In Toronto

Four people were injured and another three were arrested in a shooting near the Toronto Raptors NBA championship victory parade, which was attended by thousands, police confirmed.

Shots rang out Monday afternoon at Bay St. and Albert St. on the eastern side of Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto, after which people were seen fleeing the event. Toronto Police identified four victims with serious but non-life-threatening injuries related to the shooting. Two firearms were also recovered at the scene.

A motive wasn’t immediately clear ― and a Toronto Fire Services spokesperson told HuffPost that the shooting was unrelated to the festivities ― but it sent crowds of people scattering. Witnesses said they saw people getting trampled.

Life And Debt: Searching For A Million-Dollar Miracle

Leave a comment

Click the link below the picture

.

Two-year-old Maxwell lives in Denver with his twin sister, Riley, his parents, Amber and Mark, and their cat, Nittany. He loves hugs, his sister and bow ties. He was born with a very rare genetic disorder that could leave him with permanent, severe intellectual and developmental disabilities, and a form of epilepsy that’s not treatable with current medications.

Only about 50 people in the world are known to share Maxwell’s problem. It’s so uncommon that it’s known only by the name of the affected gene: SLC6A1.

His mother, Amber Freed, 38, left her job as a financial analyst in 2017 to devote herself full time to fighting to make that cure possible. Maxwell is a good candidate for treatment using the emerging technology of gene therapy, in which a functioning gene is attached to a harmless virus that can carry the new gene through the body and replace the faulty one.

The Food and Drug Administration has already approved gene therapy for diseases like leukemia and lymphoma, and a team of medical researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, led by Steven Gray, is already working on ways to expand its use to diseases like Maxwell’s.

Gloria Vanderbilt died Monday morning, according to her son, CNN’s Anderson Cooper. The fashion designer, artist and socialite was 95.

She died in her Manhattan home with friends and family at her side.
.
“Gloria Vanderbilt was an extraordinary woman, who loved life, and lived it on her own terms,” Cooper said in a statement. “She was a painter, a writer and designer but also a remarkable mother, wife, and friend.
.
“She was 95 years old, but ask anyone close to her, and they’d tell you: She was the youngest person they knew — the coolest and most modern.”
Vanderbilt was diagnosed with an advanced form of stomach cancer earlier this month, Cooper said.

Access To Abortion Changes Cis Men’s Lives Too

Leave a comment

.

When Derek’s girlfriend Brynn got pregnant in 2005, they were both still college students.

They had been in a relationship for two years and were living together near their school in Ohio. They were starting to ask themselves whether marriage and children would be in their futures, and if so, would that future be together. They were “just starting to develop into the adults we would become,” as Derek put it. 

And then Brynn got pregnant.

They had always been careful to use condoms during sex, but Derek — who, like all people mentioned in this piece, has had his name changed to protect his privacy — believes one must have broken. Brynn decided to have an abortion, despite knowing she wanted a family one day. She wasn’t sure how Derek would react, so she got an abortion without talking to him about it.  

She told him six months later.

Derek said that even after all these years, he still feels ashamed that Brynn didn’t consider him a safe and accessible enough partner when she made her decision. He also knows how lucky they were to have lived in a state and in a year where Brynn could access abortion at all.

You could be swallowing a credit card’s weight in plastic every week

Leave a comment

.

Globally, we are ingesting an average of 5 grams of plastic every week, the equivalent of a credit card, a new study suggests.

This plastic contamination comes from “microplastics” — particles smaller than five millimeters — which are making their way into our food, drinking water and even the air.
Around the world, people ingest an average of around 2,000 microplastic particles a week, according to the study by the University of Newcastle, in Australia.
These tiny particles can originate from a variety of sources, including artificial clothes fibers, microbeads found in some toothpastes, or bigger pieces of plastic which gradually break into smaller pieces when they’re thrown away and exposed to the elements.

Can a Night Owl Become a Morning Person?

Leave a comment

.

Morning people seem so productive. They get up early, get a lot done before the real day begins, and, according to at least one study, often have a positive outlook on life. They can seem to have an unfair advantage over night owls, who prefer to go to bed late and sleep in—especially in a society that typically operates on a 9-to-5 schedule. It’s possible to change one’s sleep patterns, but do the benefits outweigh the costs? One expert, Ilene Rosen, professor of clinical medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, explains how to shift your circadian rhythm to suit your schedule.

Code: Sleep

Our circadian rhythms are driven by internal clocks that tell us when to fall asleep and when to wake up in a roughly 24-hour period. They have been shown to be about 47% genetic, says Dr. Rosen, and have even been detected in utero. People’s preferences for waking early or sleeping in are called chronotypes; they are different from disorders, and don’t pose a problem unless they interfere with people’s lifestyles. “I know nurses who choose to work the night shift, probably because they have adapted their job to match their preference,” says Dr. Rosen, who is on the faculty of Penn’s Center for Sleep and Circadian Neurobiology and the immediate past president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. But most people don’t have the option of going to bed at 4 a.m. and waking eight hours later.
