Kids have the world's energy inside of them and they sometimes do not know how to calm down, relax, and concentrate. One can try punishing the child, yelling at the child, or doing all sorts of routines to calm him down, but do those really help? What if there was a simple way where children can calm down while becoming perked up to learn? Well maybe there is a way and children can even do it themselves. Kids' expert Leah Kalish demonstrates in a video a way where kids can relax and be ready to learn. This simple routine only requires fingers and ears. It is called the 'Elephant Ears' routine. All a child or adult needs to do is get her fingers and start massaging the top of the ears, slowly working downwards. This routine works well with both children and adults, by calming them and relieving their anxiety. "The gentle massage around the outside of your ears stimulates the energy meridians in the body, Kalish says, waking up your senses, so you're less distracted and anxious and can hear and think more clearly" (Melinda Fulmer, The Los Angeles Times). This routine also comes with its own riddle that makes it easier to remember.

Molestation and Rape Should Be Stopped
"Willowbrook Teacher Accused Of Molesting 3 Teenage Girls"
Joe Mozingo, The Los Angeles Times
Published on April 26, 2013
Molestation and rape are starting to become huge parts of our society. An action that once was almost as horrible as murder is starting to be looked at as a joke or 'not a big deal'. Do people honestly think that they can get away with touching and feeling others without their consent? Do they think they will never get caught? Do they think such actions are okay? The consequences of molestation and rape need to be more clear to people because clearly they are not understanding by watching others receive punishments for it, since they are doing it themselves. A fifty-five year old teacher, named Juan Cardoza, was arrested for molesting three teenage girls at the ages of fourteen and fifteen. It was said that these events had taken place at the New Designs Charter School. "The L.A. County district attorney's office filed four felony counts of lewd acts with a child and one felony county of annoying and molesting a child. Cardoza is being held in lieu of $320,000 bail" (Joe Mozingo, The Los Angeles Times). Hopefully this teacher receives the punishment he deserves and this can be another wake up call for everyone else who has thoughts of molesting or raping others.

The smallest idea can lead to a huge discovery. Massive fires are usually started by the smallest of substances. They can start from a non put out cigarette thrown at the ground, a piece of paper burning, or a burning dish in the kitchen. A Monrovia brush fire had started Saturday morning. It was started by a gardening tool that was being used for brush clearance. The fire was starting to burn more than 100 acres of land. Fire officials had no other choice than to have fifteen streets evacuate. Even the bears were evacuating! The fire had threatened about 400 homes, but luckily now, eighty five percent of it is contained and there are no more evacuation orders. Fortunately, nothing was damaged and one firefighter just had a minor injury. Firefighters, however, are still working on maintaining the rest of the fire in order for the residents to return safely to their homes.

Could There Have Been More?
"Ed Davis: Boston Marathon Suspects May Have Been Planning More Attacks"
Published on April 21, 2013
Huffington Post
Due to the bombings at the Boston Marathon, many suspicions and thoughts have been arousing among all. Ed Davis, a Boston Police commissioner, stated how the Boston Marathon suspects might have planned more attacks. Davis stated how all the explosions found might have meant that the suspects were going to continue attacking other people. Other than all the ammunition found, other explosives and homemade grenades were also found. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is hospitalized with a serious condition, although his older brother, Tamerlan, got killed in a shootout with police a few days ago. The two are accused of placing the bombs in Boston. The FBI is planning on questioning Dzhokhar once his condition becomes better. If the two were not caught, who knows what future attacks they might have had planned. There are plenty of evidence proving that the two were in charge of the bombings held during the Boston Marathon. Now that they are found, hopefully the people of Boston recover.
