Happy Bastille Day.
Years ago I decided to try to update those ancient Yiddish curses for the modern era. On this Bastille Day, I recall the best and most vicious of what I wrote: "May your business be bought by a French holding company."
One of the reasons so many of today's youth end up committing delinquent actions is because of the amount of unsupervised leisure time they have each day. In Monica Vinluan's research on this issue she talks about how "when left unsupervised, children are most at risk between 3 and 6 p.m. It is during these hours that children are most likely to commit or be victimized by crime; to smoke, drink or use drugs; to engage in premature sexual activity; or to get involved in gang-related activity"(Monica Vinluans). After-school programs have been proven in a variety of research studies to decrease juvenile crime and violence, reduce drug use, cut smoking and alcohol abuse, and decrease teen pregnancy. Furthermore, research demonstrates that in comparison to unsupervised peers, children who participate in after-school programs show improvement in standardized test scores and decreased absenteeism and tardiness. Deciding on the best weight loss program for you can be confusing. You need a healthy weight loss program that will allow you to lose weight safely, but there are so many diets out there today; it's hard to know what the best one really is! It's no wonder that time after time, your diet fails and you're right back where you started, or worse, you put on extra pounds. Each new diet is advertised as the best out there, but they don't put the emphasis where it should be - on a healthy weight loss program that lets you lose weight safely. Trouble sleeping (Insomnia)
