Enhanced security for Boston's tree lighting after NYC incident
Boston's annual 'Holiday Lights' celebration will feature enhanced security following protests and arrests at New York City's tree lighting. Videos from New York showed pro-Palestinian protesters clashing with police near the Rockefeller Center tree. In Boston, police are setting up barriers and patrolling the area, with additional officers from Quincy. A group of pro-Palestinian protesters plans to peacefully demonstrate during the event. The tree lighting is a tradition honoring Boston's aid to Halifax after the 1917 explosion.
Strategies to Help Stop Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors
Body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) such as nail-biting, hair-pulling, or skin-picking can cause scarring, infections, and emotional distress. These compulsive signs often start in middle school and can persist despite attempts to quit. Dr. Michelle De Blasi suggests habit reversal therapy, which involves consciously replacing the BFRB with another action like using a fidget spinner or stretching fingers. The new behavior should be done for twice as long as the BFRB to help retrain the brain. Personal anecdotes, like Sofia Rivette's success with squeezing a ball to improve her nail condition, illustrate the effectiveness of finding a soothing alternative behavior.
Kindergartners receiving vaccine exemptions at record rate, data shows
National data indicates a record number of kindergartners are receiving exemptions from required school vaccinations. Dr. Simone Wildes, an infectious disease specialist at South Shore Health, expresses concern over the trend, noting that most exemptions are for non-medical reasons. She highlights the risk of diseases that were previously eliminated, such as polio and mumps, causing outbreaks. Massachusetts maintains high vaccination rates, with over 96% of children vaccinated, but there is a push to reach 100% to prevent potential outbreaks.
