"The Cake Picnic was just one of the events celebrating the museum’s 100-year anniversary, but it was certainly the biggest spectacle. Elisa Sunga, a UX design manager at Google, is the mastermind behind Cake Picnic, a community gathering where everyone brings a cake to share."

"Voluntarily stopping eating and drinking is an underrecognized, infrequently used and often misunderstood means for dying patients to hasten death. With good symptom management and hospice support, most people are able to achieve a peaceful death. Rather than threatening to call the police, the hospice nurse should have explored the nature of this woman’s suffering, explained the option of fasting unto death, and promised to provide emotional and palliative support throughout the dying process."

"For many years, the positions fostering the “sanctity” of human life (i.e., life is inviolable in any case) have led to maintaining life-sustaining treatments (including artificial nutrition and hydration) in patients with disorders of consciousness, allowing them to live for as long as possible. Seldom have positions that foster “dignity” of human life (i.e., everyone has the right to a worthy death) allowed for the interruption of life-sustaining treatments in some patients with disorders of consciousness."

Citizen-led emergency response groups could be formed
By Hicbd
"The Neighborhood Response Program aims to establish citizen–led disaster response teams in neighborhoods throughout Corte Madera, Larkspur and the Greenbrae Hills. At present more than 40 Neighborhood Response Groups (NRGs) have been formed all for the purpose of preparing to take care of themselves following a disaster. The program is motivated by “neighbor helping neighbor,” the well-proven idea that we are all willing and able to help if we are provided a method and the means."

By Hicbd
"Now, a 22-year-old New York City transplant named Riley Walz is using Shazam and a strategically placed, solar-powered Android phone to create an archive of the neighborhood’s musical selections. He calls the project Bop Spotter — a play on words inspired by ShotSpotter, surveillance technology used by law enforcement (including SFPD) to capture gunshots."

By Hicbd

"Cow hug therapy, also known as cow cuddling, is a type of animal-assisted therapy (AAT) that involves hugging cows for healing. It's believed to have mental health benefits, such as reducing stress and promoting positivity...The calming effects of cuddling with a pet or emotional support animal are said to be amplified when cuddling with larger mammals. Some say that hugging a cow can slow your pulse to match the cow's slower heart rate."
