I am Always Doing Things I Can’t Do
Simply brilliant and brilliantly simple. Most people don’t do something they have never done before because they lack confidence. But Doing comes first, Competences comes second and Confidence gets the bronze at third place! You have to be courageous enough to be prepared to fail before you do something enough times to get competent!
‘He was cold as ice’: Hundreds of children die each year with no explanation. Their parents are pushing for answers.
Sudden unexplained death in childhood, or SUDC, is defined as the death of a child age 1 to 18 — though most are toddlers — without a known cause, even after an autopsy and investigation by doctors, and sometimes police and child-welfare officials. These children are older than the 12-month age cutoff for sudden infant death, typically referred to as SIDS, and have outgrown the risk of suffocating in their sleep, a factor in sudden death in younger infants.
Now, parents, researchers and other advocates are looking for answers. They are pushing for federal legislation that would fund SUDC research and improve how these deaths are classified and investigated. Researchers say the first step is to come up with an accurate count of these deaths, with the hope of someday finding common links. That could not only provide answers to devastated families, but also offer lifesaving measures similar to the safe sleep campaigns credited with lowering SIDS rates across the country.
60 Is The New 40
My Mother’s words are proving more true the older I get, “An hour of sleep before midnight is worth two hours after it.”

Recreational marijuana in Colorado: What the numbers say about health, safety and tax dollars
A bill to legalize recreational marijauna in Illinois needs only the signature of Gov. J.B. Pritzker to become law. Colorado has had legal recreational marijuana since 2014. The Colorado Division of Criminal Justice last year came out with an analysis of the effects of the state’s legalization of retail sales of marijuana since it went into effect in 2014. It found teen use had not increased, but hospital visits and fatal accidents associated with marijuana use increased. The authors cautioned that many factors can influence the statistics in the report, including people’s willingness to admit marijuana use now that it’s legalized in the state. Here is a rundown of some of the major findings.
