  Archbishop of Toronto speaks out against assisted dying

  "Dying is simply not the same as being killed," Cardinal Thomas Collins, the Archbishop of Toronto, said in a video, which the Archdiocese posted earlier this week to YouTube. "We are grateful for physicians and nurses and others who offer medical assistance to patients who are dying. But it is never justified for them to kill."

  Collins says he's shocked by a parliamentary committee's recommendations that would force doctors to at least refer people to a physician willing to help someone end their life, including, in some cases, minors and the mentally ill. The committee also recommended allowing people suffering from conditions like dementia to pre-schedule the date of their death.

  The most effective way to protect yourself from the Zika virus is to prevent mosquito bites

  By Kelsey Kloss

  Many Americans are relatively protected from the Zika virus at the moment because mosquitoes die or go into hibernation in cold winter weather. When temperatures rise to 50 or 60 degrees Fahrenheit, however, mosquitoes can reappear and spread disease. The Aedes mosquitos feed during the day and fly into houses for shade — living and reproducing very close to people. Just one tablespoon of water can serve as a mosquito breeding ground and produce up to 300 mosquitoes. The insects can breed in the bottom of a glass in the bathroom (like one you use to brush your teeth with) or in a film of water next to the sink. Eliminate standing water throughout the home, including in flower pots, bottles, and accumulating garbage. Have a pool? No need to drain — mosquitos are deterred by the chlorine that keeps the pool clean and safe for swimming.

  Oscar-Winning Movies

  By Rachel Swalin

  Citizen Kane may be considered one of the greatest films ever made, yet this Orson Welles grand tale of a newspaper magnate‘s rise and fall lost out on Best Picture in 1942. Instead, the prize went to How Green Was My Valley, a drama depicting the struggles of a Welsh mining family. As director, co-author, producer, and star, Welles had every hand in the making of Citizen Kane, but his controversial film, thought to be based on media mogul William Randolph Hearst, managed to alienate him from Hollywood. How Green Was My Valley, from director John Ford, proved to be a more sentimental favorite of the time.

  C

  How Green Was My Valley representa um drama familiar controverso.

  D

  Além de diretor, Orson Welles também foi ator em Citizen Kane.

  Teen Texting: Girls versus Boys

  By Victoria Stern 
  

  
  

  A new study from the American Psychological Association evaluated how 211 girls and 192 boys communicated via text and found notable gender differences in overall behavior and compulsive use:

  • Teenage girls use texting for social connection, whereas boys mostly use it to convey information.

  • Boys and girls send about the same number of texts every day, but girls are more likely to become compulsive texters.

  • Teenage girls who compulsively text see a steeper decline in their grades than their compulsive male counterparts. The researchers suggest the social content of girls' messages may be more likely to distract them from their academic tasks.

  • Compulsive texting also appears to affect girls' mental health more than boys', perhaps because girls are more prone to text about negative feelings and to ruminate on those feelings.

  Normal-looking earrings will track your heart rate, body temperature and blood oxygen levels, providing you with vital health statistics. If you thought Bluetooth headsets made businessmen talking to themselves in public look strange, these earrings will take that to the next level.

  Shoes will convert movement into energy, powering internal sensors and other wearable devices. The sensors will help the shoes cool and heat your feet as necessary, as well as track your exercise and any weight changes.

  Buttons haven‘t changed in decades, but they‘re about to get a big overhaul. Soon, they‘ll have embedded GPS, tracking your movements and learning your habits. That will let all your wearables react in real-time to your location, predicting where you‘re about to go or making suggestions on what‘s next. Getting lost will be a challenge, but if you somehow manage to end up in an unknown or dangerous place, your buttons will be able to contact your family or call 911 for help.
