Assassinations / targeted killing could be used instead of war
By Hicbd
"Historically, at least since the mid-eighteenth century, Western thinking has generally considered the use of assassination as a tool of statecraft to be illegal. Some academics, military personnel and officials describe targeted killing as legitimate within the context of self-defense, when employed against terrorists or combatants engaged in asymmetrical warfare. They argue that unmanned combat aerial vehicles (drones) are more humane and more accurate than manned vehicles. Scholars are also divided as to whether targeted killings are an effective counterterrorism strategy."

Museums could have scavenger hunts for kids
By Hicbd
"Museum outings with kids can be a toss-up, so I’ve got a little trick I use to keep everyone engaged. Before we go, I put together a scavenger hunt packed with random things to spot. Think “a skull,” “grapes,”...You can tailor the list to kids' ages, too—when mine were little, it was more about colors and expressions ("something red, someone who looks happy"), but now it’s specific pieces or trickier things to find. For added fun, I throw in some bonus challenges: show me the scariest-looking baby or find the painting with the most people in it."

Friday to Saturday could be Shabbat / rest / reflection
By Hicbd
"Shabbat observance entails refraining from work activities, often with great rigor, and engaging in restful activities to honor the day...Shabbat is observed from a few minutes before the sun sets on Friday evening until the appearance of three stars in the sky on Saturday night, or an hour after sundown. Shabbat is ushered in by lighting candles and reciting blessings over wine and bread. Traditionally, three festive meals are eaten: The first one is held on Friday evening, the second is traditionally a lunch meal on Saturday, and the third is held later Saturday afternoon."

Childhood photos could inspire / comfort
By Hicbd
"Hanging in each of their offices is their childhood photo. The reason behind this adorable decision? Every time they look up to see their younger selves in all their girlhood glory — complete with rosy cheeks, cheese-y grins and sparkling eyes — they remember a piece of themselves that deserves the very best. Grace during times of failure. Patience in moments of frustration. The kindest encouragement. And then — here’s my favorite part — they try to treat their current selves with all that tender love."

"Starting at $30 per car, Southern California residents can dare to enter the Haunted Carwash—a nightmarish journey that turns an ordinary car wash into a realm of terror. As you slowly drive through, sinister performers will leap from the shadows, and spine-tingling special effects will envelop you in an atmosphere of sheer horror."

Root canals / mouthwash / fluoride / certain toothpastes / metal tooth fillings could be harmful
By Hicbd
"In the film, root canal therapies are claimed to be associated with cancer, and it is suggested that pulling an infected tooth is a better approach. The film's trailer implies that root canals or infected teeth can lead to migraines, diabetes, lupus, fibromyalgia and heart disease. The film makes specific false claims of "97% of patients with breast cancer had a root canal on the same side as the cancer," and "the #1 cause of heart attack is root canal treated teeth," and that root canals result in inflammation leading to systemic disease."

A database of researchers' conflicts of interest could exist
By Hicbd
"Federally funded health researchers reported more than 8,000 “significant” financial conflicts of interest worth at least $188 million since 2012, according to filings in a government database obtained by ProPublica. The database of disclosures reported to the National Institutes of Health, which has not been made public before, details the financial relationships of researchers at universities, hospitals and nonprofit organizations. These outside interests range from stock holdings in companies that may benefit from the outcome of research to payments for royalties, consulting work and speaking engagements."
