What to Do When Your Teen Chooses Bad Friends

What kids want parents to know if parents think their children are choosing bad friends.

The Problem

Recently, a well known educator and speaker on parenting issues made a list of all the difficult questions parents had been asking him about their teens. He noticed that of all the issues that are bothering parents, the number one concern is what to do about bad friends. This question was asked more than twice as often as the next most common concern.

This educator then did a very interesting experiment. At the time, he was working with a number of troubled teens. Many of these teens were estranged from their families. Some of them had resolved their difficulties and were already in the process of making peace with their parents.

He asked these teenagers, "What should I tell parents so that their children won't have the problems you are having."

He asked their advice on a number of issues that parents were finding difficult. In general, these teenagers had very good advice. However, when he asked them what to do about the number one issue that was troubling parents about their teens, none of them had anything to say.

He then asked these teens what it was that got them in trouble in the first place. The number one answer was bad friends.

So the number one issue that worries parents about their teens is bad friends. The number one cause of teens getting into trouble is bad friends. And the answer that these teens gave as to how to help parents deal with this issue was, "There is nothing parents can do."

The Reasons

One reason that parents can't separate their child from a bad friend is that the friend often has a stronger relationship. When a child is young, his parents are the major influence in his life. As children enter adolescence a change occurs. A natural part of growing up is breaking away from parents and making bonds with peers. This is normal. If the parent child bond is healthy, children will eventually renew their ties with their parents. This happens in the late teens or early twenties. But throughout most of adolescence, a normal child is closer to his friends than his family.

A second reason parents find it so difficult to separate their teens from bad friends is that, to put it simply, you can't take away what you can't replace. Parents cannot replace their child's friends.

There is very little you can do to separate your child from bad friends and bad influences once he reaches his teenage years. However, there are a number of guidelines of what not to do. If you follow these few principles, it will help you ride out the storm and minimize the problems.

What You Can Do

Do Not Attack Your Child's Friends

When your child is running in a bad crowd, your hold on him is loose or non-existent. The last thing you want to do is to acquire an enemy. If you make a personal attack on your child's friend that is exactly what you are going to get, a sworn enemy. This enemy will now be out to get you and he very likely have more influence on your child than you.

It will not help to tell your child not to tell this friend. If you trash your child's friend, this person will know about it minutes to hours after the words leave your mouth. You will have made an enemy for life, at a time when you need every ally that you can get.

This does not mean you cannot criticize the behavior. It is fair and reasonable to tell your child that you object to the kinds of things his friend is doing. However, don't make it a personal attack. Once you do that, you place yourself in a battle that you are almost certain to lose.

Enlist Help

As part of growing up, your child is trying to break away from you and forge his own path in life. This is normal. However, this need to break away only involves you. It does not involve other adults. This gives you an opportunity to indirectly influence your child.

You should try to find an adult or a responsible older teen that can foster a relationship with your child. It can be a member of your extended family or someone in your community. You can have this person keep contact with your child and try to direct him whenever possible.

Your child will be confiding in someone. It is much better if you can arrange that it is an adult or an older teen whose judgment you trust. Most teens just confide in their peers.

If your child is still young, you should take the opportunity to try to set up a relationship with someone older while you still have influence. I personally have set up several adults for each of my teenage children. These are people my children respect. Though I have not needed them yet, I know that I can rely on them if things ever turn sour.

Here is an important point to remember. If your child is confiding in a responsible adult, then you must be careful not to pressure this person to reveal what is being discussed. You have the right to know some general answers, like if things are okay or if your child is going through a rough time. But do not press for information. You may be doing great harm to your child.

Get to Know Your Child's Friends

This is very bold advice, but it usually works well. You should get to know your child's friends personally. A number of good things may come out of this.

You may find out that the children with whom your child associates are really not as bad as your initial impression. The teen years are hard on everyone. All children have difficulty. It is very possible you might find that your child's friends are basically good kids who are going through tough times.

Here is how you can do it. Pick an event, like your child's birthday or the end of the school year or some other special occasion. Tell your child that you want to take him and four or five of his friends out to dinner to celebrate. Take them to a restaurant. If you are going to be embarrassed by being seen with them, take them somewhere away from your home. If you live in Brooklyn, take them to a restaurant in Queens. If you live on the Boston North Shore take them to a restaurant on the South Shore. You don't have to embarrass yourself, but you should be subtle about it. Your child shouldn't be able to figure out that the reason you are driving 20 miles away from your house is that you would rather be dead than be caught seen with his friends.

Here is what you will gain:

  1. You might find that you misjudged these children.
  2. You will be giving your child the messages that since they are his friends, you welcome them.
  3. You will be giving your child's friends the same message. Depending upon their own personal situation you may be the only adult in their lives that are treating them as people.
  4. You will be acquiring four or five allies who are in a very strong position to help you at a time when you need it most.

The Advantage of Having Your Child's Friends as Allies

The first thing that you need to know is that children have a very strong sense of right and wrong. They may be doing the wrong thing, but they are well aware of it.

Now, picture this scenario. Your child is out with his friends Saturday night doing what you would rather not know about. It is 11:30 and you get a call on the phone. Your child is having a great time and everyone is still here, can he stay out until 2 am? You remind your child that he has a 12:00 curfew and he has to be home. Your child says a few choice things to you to and slams down the phone.

Now to whom does a teen complain when he is angry with his parents? His friends. So after he hangs up he goes to his friend and starts calling you every name in his somewhat extensive vocabulary. Let's say that this friend is someone you took out to dinner three weeks ago.

That person might just say to your child, "What's wrong with you? Your mother is okay. Look, you know she's right. Why are you giving her such an attitude?" This teen that you just took out to dinner may send your child home before any of the real trouble starts, all because you bought him dinner and treated him like a person.

Now what would happen if you had trashed this person? Do you think he'd be so quick to take your side? That's the advantage of making your child's friends allies instead of enemies.

Your teen is going to pick his friends. At this age, there is very little you can do to influence his choices. However, if you approach the problem with wisdom, there are a number of ways you can indirectly influence your child and help him to stay out of trouble.

Nightly Briefing 5/19/20

We expect the gold miners to stall and consolidate for a few days. $38.50-$39 is tough resistance and will most likely require 2 attempts at that level to penetrate. Expect a pullback most likely Thursday through Tuesday of next week. Do not become a serial trader and try to trade every wiggle of a large trending move. You may get lucky once going in and out but will fail the next 5 times. At HFZ, when we are in a medium term trending position we trade around our position by keep 90% in and trading a maximum of  10%. Day to day there is too much noise in the market to have a consistent crystal ball. Keep your eye on mid-June before we consider closing our NUGT position. Higher prices are coming.

The junior miners today showed major outperformance of the senior miners. After the next pullback we may shift to JNUG. You need not worry they move together and their gains are comparable most of the time. One will not rally without the other. $52 is the analogous price to GDX $32. A move through it will cause a quick thrust to $60.

A note to those trading Silver which has been moving up: We expect a top in Silver the first few days of June with a possible upside target of $18.60 Spot or $17.50 SLV, the ETF. A sell-off into late June will be our target buy zone. This may change if Silver can break through $18.50. Make no mistake once it does the gains witnessed will be far greater than GLD, GDX or GDXJ. We will watch closely.

A future trade target for us June 2nd. When fear subsides and the market goes sideways or higher, SVXY climbs.

The VIX goes up when fear spikes and down when fear subsides. If there is a gentle slow decline in the stock market the VIX is capable of staying flat. Swift, sharp moves down make the VIX index escalate. Eventually, fear always subsides in every sell-off. Shorting the vix is eventual money in the bank. There are not too many trades you can say that about. Using an inverse ETF is best, limiting the downside risk of a margin call if you short the VIX directly. Sometimes the market stays range bound and generates a sideways coiling action and does not recover losses for weeks. That kind of action will push SVXY higher. We expect a spike in the VIX into June 2nd as the average investor thinks we are headed toward a double bottom in the DOW and a retest of 18,200. Fear will be high and SVXY will be cheap.

As far as market analysis is concerned, please refer to last night's chart. Our trajectory is playing out as expected. We got the first leg of our sell-off. Look for more weakness into Thursday. A short term low mid day Thursday may materialize with a happy Memorial Day rally on Friday. A large drop will be seen over the weekend into Tuesday for a gap down opening and recovery. We may short Friday’s close with SPXS.

Supporting work-life balance

75 years of in-house childcare facilities at Henkel

The company’s first Kindergarten was established in 1940 because family has always been an important part of the corporate culture at Henkel. Originally, 35 children were looked after at the facilities. Today, there are three Kindergarten and 240 spots available for children from four months to school age.

Open Slideshow Beim Familienfest zum 75. Jubiläum sangen die Kinder Gerda-Henkel-Kita

Last week, a family celebration for parents and children from the three Kindergarten was organized at the Gerda Henkel Kindergarten in Düsseldorf, Germany, to mark the 75-year anniversary.

Open Slideshow 1940 eröffnete Henkel den ersten Kindergarten

The first Kindergarten was established in 1940 at Henkel headquarters in Düsseldorf.

“We see it as part of our responsibility to create the right conditions to allow our employees to balance their professional commitments and their personal life,” said Kathrin Menges, Executive Vice President of Human Resources.

The Gerda Henkel daycare center opened in 1951, followed by the “Little Lions” center in 2008 and “The Raccoons” facilities in 2013. In combination with flexible working hours, the daycare centers support work-life balance.

Childcare is one of the many topics that Henkel’s social services advise employees on. Since 1912 already, this department has been providing support at all stages of employees’ professional and private life – to find facilities for a dependent family member or to reintegrate work after a long illness for example.

Sunday, April 26, was supposed to be the day that saw thousands of runners and spectators flood the capital for the 2020 London Marathon.

But because of coronavirus, the annual race was postponed.

One of those who was meant to take part in the race was Watford man, and head of PE at Rickmansworth School, Rafferty Gunn.

Inspired by the amazing NHS workers fighting the virus - as well as hearing the sad news that his sister was taken seriously ill from working as a midwife during these challenging times - he knew he had to do something.

So armed with a pair of crocs, he decided to complete the marathon in his back garden in a bid to raise money for the NHS.

As a result of complications from wearing PPE for long shifts during this pandemic, Raff's sister was hospitalised with severe dehydration and a kidney infection.

With his sister on the mend and on his mind, he set up the challenge and decided to wear crocs the whole time to represent the medical workers who complete 12 hour plus shifts in them.

Raff's NHS crocs

Raff set a fundraising target of £1,000, but come the day of the run, he had already raised over £6,000.

Just hours later, he had completed the challenge and raised over £11,000.

He said: “I knew it was going to be an emotional day anyway, but I was just blown away by raising so much before I’d even taken a step.

“With everything that happened with my sister, it brought the reality of coronavirus to life, especially the impact it was having on medical staff.

“We know how hard they work everyday - doing 12 to 13 hours shifts and not complaining, not having toilet or water breaks, so me running 50km in my back garden was nothing.

“They are heroes and I wanted to do everything I could to help them.”

Raff had hundreds watching him live throughout the day

Running a marathon is both physically and mentally tough, but having thousands cheer you on during the race does help.

So completing it in a six-metre garden, and having no one there to support you, only amps up the challenge.

Because of lockdown, Raff knew that no one could come and support him so he streamed it live on his Instagram account.

With the hope of his friends and family watching him along the way, he was left shocked with the amount of people who tuned in and spurred him on.

To also keep people as connected as possible, he let people request songs so they could be blasted through a speaker he had set up and in return would ask for a small donation to his fundraising page.

And it was this which helped him get through the race and raise over £11,000.

How to support our NHS Heroes during the coronavirus pandemic

It is something that has, at some point, touched all our lives.

From cradle to grave, the National Health Service, and the incredible professionals within it who care for us, is a part of British life.

Today, more than ever, we should cherish those who dedicate themselves to our care, heedless of own health as they work tirelessly to care for people in the face of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Nurses and others - employed by the NHS and any other part of health and care - we have never needed them more.

So let’s show them some love, and create a living map of gratitude from every corner of Britain - visit to drop a heart on the map wherever you are in the world.

By dropping a heart on the map, you’re saying you appreciate the efforts undertaken daily in the NHS.

Thanks a million, NHS workers - we love you

He said: “It was really difficult but more mentally because there was no home straight.

“I’m not sponsored or anything by crocs, but they were amazing.

"But a mixture of the sun beaming down on me and the miles I had to do, it was really hard.

“Having everyone there supporting me through Instagram just spurred me on.”

Raff put out the idea about streaming it live so mainly friends and family could watch, but he was left astounded when over 300 people were watching him take his last steps.

“I had NHS workers and my sister in my head the whole time”

Raff after in an Optimum Group polo as they sponsored him

Also pushing him on were NHS workers, and his sister, who was recovering at the time.

“The crazy stories you hear about healthcare workers doing 12 hour shifts, having problems with wearing PPE for the whole day, and it hit me when I heard about my sister," he added.

“So doing this race wasn’t only to raise money, but awareness and support because they are all doing an amazing job.

“I was constantly telling myself to keep going because, in reality, what I was doing was nothing in comparison to what they were doing.

“It was pushing me through.”

“I was fully in tears but tried passing it off as sweat”

Throughout the run, Raff was being updated by his brother and his fiancé about how much money he had raised.

As he watched £6,000 go to £7,000 and then go to £9,000, Raff knew something special was happening and, despite his legs seizing up, he decided to run an extra 8km in the hope he would reach the £10,000 mark.

With hundreds of his friends watching him, his friend Jason urged everyone to donate £10 for the last 10km and it caught on.

He said: “It was just so emotional knowing everyone was there with me and seeing everyone go above and beyond to support me and the page, I wanted to show appreciation and go above and beyond in return.

“Even though my legs were saying no, everything else was saying yes so I did it and we got to the £10,000 mark literally seconds after I finished.

“Me and my fiancé have watched it back and it was so emotional. It was amazing.”

With emotion running high, Raff at one point said he was crying as the Greatest Showman song came on but said he played it off as sweat.

Despite running 50km, Raff had enough in him to do a little dance as he completed the challenge

Video Loading

This is the heartwarming moment when Raff completed the 50km in 4 hours 45 minutes and did a little bit of a dance, as promised, for everyone watching.

He explained: “I had no expectations that anyone would be watching and also that we’d raise so much money.

“And it was just the best moment.

“When 50km was on my watch and knowing we’d raised £10,000 I just let loose and it was really emotional.

“It was unforgettable.”

The fundraising page has currently raised £11,587 but Raff is keeping it open for a couple more days to raise as much as possible.

He added: “We want to raised as much as possible to show appreciation to the NHS working tirelessly on the frontline.

“But thank you so much to everyone who has donated and supported me.

“Especially Optimmum Group Services who sponsored me and my mum and dad for raising me in crocs and my fiance and brother who were there on the day.”

At Home in the Heart of the Horseshoe

Life in the University of South Carolina President's House

The University of South Carolina was founded in 1801 on a modest parcel of land now called the Horseshoe. While the campus has grown well beyond its original borders, the oak-lined and gated historic Horseshoe remains the heart of campus life. At Home in the Heart of the Horseshoe pays tribute to the handsome regency-style structure at the midpoint of the historic Horseshoe. Constructed in 1854 to house faculty families, then used for sororities, the residence ultimately became the official President's House in 1952. Through the stories and images in this beautiful book, Patricia Moore-Pastides provides a window into life at the University of South Carolina President's House from her perspective as First Lady.

Through these pages readers will discover the ways in which the house has become a central location for enriching and celebrating the university community. Beginning with Mrs. Russell's famous senior dinners in the 1950s, the tradition of entertaining continues. From small formal dinners to garden receptions for several hundred, the President's House is alive with celebration. A multitude of thoughtfully planned festivities embrace the entire university community, honoring students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff, donors, legislators, and national and international leaders.

At Home in the Heart of the Horseshoe is the first book to feature the workings of the President's House and gardens. A pictorial tour through all the public rooms calls attention to the provenance of special antiques and works of art. Presidential events are described and illustrated in charming photographs, and delectable recipes and novel flower-arrangement ideas are shared.

Perhaps most compelling are the stories from family members who have lived in the President's House. Through interviews with wives and children—and in one case a grandchild—of former university presidents, readers are privy to their most vivid memories of life in the house and recollections of campus happenings. Experiencing the house as her home, Moore-Pastides shares highlights of her years as First Lady, including the most poignant times as well as the lighter moments.

From thieving pets to helpful ghosts, panty raids to Vietnam War protests, and visits from brownie scouts to Pope John Paul II, the tales shared here will warm the heart and in a few cases make readers laugh aloud. And the more than two hundred personal and archival images will reveal not only the evolution of this beautiful historic structure but also the people who made the house a home.

"The President's House as an historic Horseshoe structure is well documented, but little has been written about its role as a home. Patricia Moore-Pastides enriches the building's history by documenting the memories and experiences of the families who lived there."—Elizabeth Cassidy West, university archivist, South Caroliniana Library, University of South Carolina

"At Home in the Heart of the Horseshoe gets to the essence of why historic houses matter. Patricia Moore-Pastides provides us not only with an incisive architectural and social history of the President's House, but through her words and deeds as First Lady, reveals what it truly means to make a house a home."—Margize Howell and Peter M. Kenny, co-presidents, Classical American Homes Preservation Trust

"The site of the President's House on the historic Horseshoe has been a faculty residence for more than two hundred years and home to the University's presidents since 1952. In this attractive publication, Patricia Moore-Pastides chronicles the many ways in which this venerable structure serves not just the University, but the greater South Carolina community."—Walter Edgar, author of South Carolina: A History

Marking a monumental occasion for both KITH and New Era, the premium headwear provider has allowed the New York-based label to work on the New York Yankees authentic 59FIFTY fitted cap, accounting for the fist time ever that the hat will feature co-branding. In paying homage to the greatest franchise in sports history, it's only right that the collaboration is an NY-specific affair. The limited edition fitted (250 units) will boast a gold-plated KITH emblem on the front and the iconic Yankees logo on the back. The side will then showcase the 1996 World Series logo, as per usual with New Era's 59FIFTY caps, it has been comprised of 100% wool.

Little Richard, one of the leading pioneers of  rock 'n' roll, passed away today, aged 87. The musician’s son, Danny Jones Penniman, confirmed the news to Rolling Stonebut said the cause of death was unknown.

The pianist-singer behind iconic songs “Tutti Frutti,” “Good Golly Miss Molly” and “Long Tall Sally,” set the tone for generations of musicians to follow. His fervent shrieks, joyful persona, and flamboyant, gender-bending style revolutionized the genre and cemented him as one of the defining characters in the golden era of rock 'n' roll.

Little Richard briefly gave up music in 1957 to become an ordained minister. However, he later returned to secular rock music in 1964 and was eventually even inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. The music icon spent his last years in Los Angeles, still performing with his same signature bravado, even after hip surgery confined him to the piano.

His contributions to music won't be forgotten.

The Importance of Drinking Water for Your Cat

Published by
min read

Just like humans, about two-thirds of a cat’s body is made up of water. Cats need a healthy amount of water to survive and to maintain their health. When living in the wild, they obtain water from the moisture content in their food. This includes prey like insects, birds, and rodents, which also contain a high water content. Your domestic cat has a very different diet, and gets her water delivered in a bowl or through wet food.

Because cats can concentrate their urine, they can survive on smaller quantities of water than other animals. But they also have a low thirst drive, which means that they don’t feel the need to drink water very often. If your cat is dehydrated, you may not know it until she develops a problem. Dehydration can lead to cat bladder problems and urinary diseases, including kidney disease and feline lower urinary tract disease. Other common conditions from dehydration are bladder inflammation (cystitis), tumors, ruptured bladder, and stones. Bladder stones can lead to life-threatening urethral blockages, particularly in male cats.

There are a few ways you can tell if your cat is dehydrated. One of the best tests is to pinch your cat’s skin and gently pull upward. If her skin does not return to its normal position quickly, she is probably dehydrated. Also pay attention to signs of panting, depression, lack of appetite, sunken eyes, dry mouth, increased lethargy, and increased heart rate.

Encouraging your cat to drink water

The amount of water your cat needs to drink varies depending on her size, activity level, health, and diet, but ranges from 5 to 10 fluid ounces per day. If you have trouble trying to get your cat to drink water, there are a few ways to encourage her.

Location is essential. Put a few water bowls around the house, in areas with low foot traffic. Water bowls should also not be placed anywhere near her litter box. This could make her uncomfortable and cause her to stop eating, drinking, and using her litter box. She may not even like having her food and water bowls near each other.

Some cats are really particular about drinking water. Your cat may like cold water better, so drop a couple ice cubes in the bowl. On the other hand, she may not even like her bowl. If she has a tendency to tip it over, switch to a wider one with a rubber base. She may not like the taste of her water either, so if you have a plastic bowl, you may want to switch it to a metal, ceramic, or glass bowl. You should also replace your cat’s water daily in an effort to keep the water from tasting stale.

Even pickier cats won’t use a bowl at all, and would rather drink straight from your tap. In the wild, cats will usually only drink moving water, as they have learned that this helps prevent them from getting sick. So, if you see your continually tipping over her water dish and drinking the water as it spills across the floor, she’s probably not doing this to spite you, but rather she’s more comfortable drinking moving water. There are a number of ways to provide your cat with moving water without all the cleanup of a spilled water bowl. Consider motion-censored cat water fountains that constantly circulate the water, or allow her to drink from the tap or a running bath faucet–just remember to keep the water at a cool temperature.

You can also add more moisture to your cat’s diet. Canned food has a much higher moisture content than dry food. We recommend Science Diet™ Cat Food for delectable varieties of canned food for your cat’s tastes. If she prefers dry food, you can try adding water to her kibble. If you add a small amount of water gradually through meals, she’s more likely to get used to the texture. A combination of dry food and canned food is also an option.

Whichever method you choose, it is important to encourage your cat to drink water. While many may think milk is a good substitute, it is only a myth, and can even cause digestive problems with your cat. Getting your cat to drink water is just as important as feeding her a proper nutrition. If you think that your cat might be dehydrated, talk to your veterinarian.

Herc Your Enthusiasm (16)

By: Alex Belth
August 19, 2013

Sixteenth in a series of posts analyzing and celebrating old-school hip hop.

I stayed in the pool well after my skin began to wrinkle, hanging onto the side and watching the black kids breakdancing. They’d broken cardboard boxes apart, which they flattened and taped down to the concrete, yards away from the pool. The music playing from their boombox wasn’t disco — it was something more aggressive, the drums hard and insistent. But the lyrics were funny. When I got home, I kept singing to myself, “Round the outside, round the outside,” with images of the kids’ breaking in my mind. Street kids and “doh-si-doh” do your partner. What the hell was that?

I spent the summer of 1983, when I was 12, going to the 64th Street YMCA’s day camp. We often took short trips to a public pool upstate, near Bear Mountain, to swim. We were served soggy sandwiches wrapped in wax paper, rock-hard peaches, and little plastic containers of orange juice. The white kids were enthralled with “Synchronicity,” the Police’s new record — and Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” was still in the air — but the black kids played tapes by Grandmaster Flash and Cold Crush, as well as the two records I remember most: Run DMC’s “Sucker MC’s” and Malcolm McLaren’s “Buffalo Gals.”

There wasn’t anything like “Buffalo Gals” before, nor after. Though you could categorize it as an early sample record, in the vein of “Pump Up the Volume,” it’s really a novelty record, the brainchild of British trendsetter and former Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren.

For McLaren, style was substance. After a trip to New York where he saw Afrika Bambaataa spin, McLaren co-opted New York’s hip hop scene for his next record — the dancing, record scratching, the fashion (all of which are on display in the “Buffalo Gals” video). He flew New York DJs The Supreme Team to London to provide scratches, and got Trevor Horn, a successful young British producer — he had been part of The Buggles, whose version of “Video Killed the Radio Star” was in 1981 the first video ever played on MTV — to make the record.

“Buffalo Gals” is a culture clash of stuff — samples of phone calls, breaks, a synth bass and pads, the catchy “duck, duck, duck” refrain, the title chorus taken from a Piute Pete record, the scratching: “Oh, that scratching is making me itch.” It sounds like a bunch of stuff cobbled together but it works — and for DJs it goes with other records, because there’s so much in it.

It’s a white record that had a lot in common with what was on MTV at the moment (which, apart from MJ and Herbie Hancock’s “Rockit” didn’t play black artists). Still, the street kids dug it and like Blondie’s “Rapture” it mashed together two different music scenes. I’ll never forget the image of young bodies twirling and spinning to McLaren’s happy pastiche of words and sounds.

What do you think?

  1. McLaren was a major window dresser of other people’s culture, but his real genius was as a package-insert author — the wall texts to his art shows were always so transcendent, and so removed from anything else that actually made it to the walls. So this lyrical and perceptive remembrance of a song I never cared for is the sweetest of echoes.

Naval History and Heritage Command

Naval History and Heritage Command

Captain Nathan C. Twining, Chief of Staff for Commander, United States Naval Forces Operating in European Waters, to Captain Joel R. Poinsett Pringle, Commander, Destroyer Flotilla, Queenstown

December 7, 1917.

From:  Force Commander,

To:    Commanding Officer, U.S.S. MELVILLE.

Subject:     Flotilla Commander for Destroyers, based on Brest.

          There are at present time 8 destroyers based on Brest, and it is the intention to add 2 more in the near future. Additional destroyers will be added as new vessels arrive from the United States.

          In order to keep the Brest destroyers in close touch with the methods at present in use in Queenstown, the Force Commander is considering sending a 1000 ton destroyer from Queenstown to base on Brest, under the command of a Commander or Senior Lieutenant-Commander. He would also act as Flotilla Leader of the Brest destroyers. Most of the destroyers in Brest are commanded by officers who are relatively junior, and in all combined operations this lack of rank puts them under the operation of French officers.

          In the event that a Commander is sent I should expect him to continue in this duty for at least six months until things are well organized.

          Will you please inform me if there are any candidates for this position that you would recommend.

          If this change is made it will not be carried through until an additional 1000 ton vessel is available to be based on Queenstown, so that the  present radius of the Queenstown Flotillas will not be diminished.1

(Sd.) WM. S. SIMS.

Captain, U.S. NAVY.

Chief of Staff.

Signed for Vice-Admiral Sims

In his absence.

Source Note: Cy, RG 45, Entry 520, Box 413. While the signature is of VAdm. William S. Sims, the notation below it clearly indicates that the letter was written by Sims’ chief of staff, Capt. Nathan C. Twining. Pringle was commander of the destroyer tender MELVILLE as well as chief of staff to the destroyer flotilla based in Queenstown (Cobh), Ireland. Identification number in top left-hand corner: “01.4633-25/9/5.”

Footnote 1: Pringle’s reply has not been found but soon after U.S.S. Nicholson, commanded by Lt. Cmdr. John C. Fremont, was transferred from Queenstown to Brest and Fremont became the division commander at Brest. Wilson, American Navy in France: 27, 29.

Journy Will Plan You The Perfect Trip – For Only $25

in partnership with Journy

I dropped the ball on properly planning our Greece vacation.

I bought a guidebook. I bookmarked a few beach clubs in Mykonos. I even Googled “Godfather-Syracuse-Sicily” to see how far we would be from the movie’s landmarks (too far, as it turns out).

But I failed to properly plan a thing. And two weeks before our vacation to Greece, I was starting to panic.

That’s when I met Susan. Over dinner with a group of fellow travel entrepreneurs, she immediately made an impression with her calm confidence, her encyclopedic knowledge of the New York culinary scene, and her startup.

She founded Journy, a company that puts together incredible itineraries, created specifically for you, for $25 a day.

It sounds too good to be true, no?

Susan linked me up with Steph, my concierge for the trip. I filled out a quick questionnaire (dates, reason for trip, who I’m traveling with, what I like to do, and my travel style).

Within a few hours, Steph replied. She asked for a little more information on our dining requests, had a few suggestions for Mykonos beach clubs that would be the right fit for us, and offered to book us private tours with an especially strong history focus.

Yes, yes, and more yes.

Two days later, she sent over the first round of itineraries. There were local gems recommended for breakfasts and lunch, and reservations made for a beach club and dinners. Our tours were booked. Sights were mapped out in a leisurely-paced itinerary. And she easily accommodated our cruise’s embark/disembark times and my shoots in Athens and Santorini (#bloggerlife), which were the only constraints in our day.

Everything was loaded in the Journy app and e-mailed to me, which also ported to Google Maps for easy navigation. The picture of each destination also made it easier to navigate.

My only concern was just how much Steph had put in each day. It was a moot point, as it gave us flexibility to choose what we felt like seeing or exploring in the moment. In Athens, we were happy to visit every sight laid out for us on the first day. In Santorini, we only stopped at two places and opted to aimlessly wander around Oia instead.

It didn’t occur to me to ask Journy about getting around our destinations. While we were fine in Athens (taxis and the Metro were easy to find and navigate, and we walked almost everywhere), we had to rent a car at the last minute in Mykonos and hired a driver in Santorini.

With trips to Newport and Hawaii planned this year, I will definitely be reaching out to Journy to curate the perfect itineraries. I’ve also not-so-subtly hinted my husband that he should have them plan a surprise daycation for us in New York.

$25 for a perfect day and no stress in planning it? Yes, please.

Try it yourself (and get 20% off with the code HITHAONTHEGO).

Journy planned our itineraries in Athens, Santorini, and Mykonos at no charge in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own, and I couldn’t recommend Journy more highly. If you book a trip using my code, I will receive a small commission.

ENDSARS protesters block major entry points into Abuja

Young Nigerians protesting against police brutality (ENDSARS), today blocked major entry points into Abuja.

The demonstrators have occupied the Kubwa and Mararaba highways and rendered all roads within the city centre impassable.

The youth divided themselves into groups to carry out the protest simultaneously at different locations and this has led to traffic snarls across the city. Unfortunate, but ENDSARS now!

Hong Kong Security Watch Report (Q1 2018)

Release Date: 18 / 04 / 2018
Last Update: 18 / 04 / 2018

HKCERT is pleased to bring to you the "Hong Kong Security Watch Report" for the first quarter of 2018.

Nowadays, a lot of “invisible” compromised computers are controlled by attackers with the owner being unaware. The data on these computers may be mined and exposed every day and the computers may be utilized in different kinds of abuse and criminal activities.

The Hong Kong Security Watch Report aims to provide the public a better "visibility" of the situation of the compromised computers in Hong Kong so that they can make better decision in protecting their information security.

The report provides data about the activities of compromised computers in Hong Kong which suffer from, or participate in various forms of cyber attacks, including web defacement, phishing, malware hosting, botnet command and control centres (C&C) and bots. Computers in Hong Kong is defined as those whose network geolocation is Hong Kong, or the top level domain of their host name is “.hk” or “.香港”.

Highlight of Report

This report is for Quarter 1 of 2018.

In 2018 Q1, there were 7,855 unique security events related to Hong Kong used for analysis in this report. The information is collected with IFAS1 from 19 sources of information2. They are not from the incident reports received by HKCERT.

Figure 1 –Trend of security events

The total number of security events in 2018 Q1 increased by 1.5% or 120 events compared to the previous quarter. The decreases in Malware hosting and Defacement events were compensated by the increase of Botnet events. Even though the number of events was increased slightly, the trend of security events is stable in the last half year.

Server related security events

Server related security events include malware hosting, phishing and defacement. Their trends and distributions are summarized below:

 Figure 2 –Trend and distribution of server related security events

The number of server related security events decreased from 3,043 to 2,107 (decreased by 31%) in this quarter. Though the overall count decreased, the number of Phishing was actually increased by 41%. If comparing with all quarters in 2017, the number of events is in decreasing trend, with the number of defacement events drops significantly during the year.

The URL/IP ratio of malware hosting events dropped from a very high value of 16 in the last quarter to 14 in this quarter, with the number of unique URL dropped sharply from 1,270 to 649, or by 49%, and the number of unique IP continued to decrease from 77 to 47, or by 39%. When comparing this quarter with all quarters in 2017, it can be seen that the number of unique IP decreased from 369 in 2017 Q1 to 97 in 2017 Q2, and then continued to decrease to 77 in 2017 Q4 and 47 in 2018 Q1 respectively. That means fewer servers are used for malware hosting.

 HKCERT urges system and application administrators to protect the servers.

  • patch server up-to-date to avoid the known vulnerabilities being exploited
  • update web application and plugins to the latest version
  • follow best practice on user account and password management
  • implement validation check for user input and system output
  • provide strong authentication e.g. two factor authentication, administrative control interface
  • do not expose unnecessary services to the internet

Botnet related security events

Botnet related security events can be classified into two categories:

  • Botnet Command and Control Centres (C&C) security events – involving small number of powerful computers, mostly servers, which give commands to bots
  • Bots security events – involving large number of computers, mostly home computers, which receive commands from C&C.

Botnet Command and Control Servers

The trend of botnet C&C security events is summarized below:

 Figure 3 –Trend of Botnet (C&Cs) related security events

The number of botnet Command and Control Servers remained unchange in 2 in this quarter. Both of them were identified as an IRC bot C&C server.

Botnet Bots

The trend of botnet (bots) security events is summarized below:

 Figure 4 - Trend of Botnet (Bots) security events

The number of Botnet (bots) in Hong Kong network increased by 23% in 2018 Q1. Mirai contributed to the increase of total count of Botnets by 275% and thus, this family takes the first place in the rank of Major Botnet Families in Hong Kong Networks. On the other hand, the count of WannaCry family is decreased by 25%, and thus, this family becomes the second in the rank. There is a note that Virut has increased by 6120%, with the number of unique IP address increased from 5 in 2017 Q4 to 311 in 2018 Q1.

Mirai botnet became active at the end of 2016. Global security organizations started to clean up in 2017 Q1. The number of events dropped sharply from 2,493 in Q1 to 746 in Q2 and steadily decreased in Q3 and Q4. That means Mirai botnet is on a decrease trend. But we note that since the end of 2017, there is an increase of Mirai events. We regularly saw reports on Mirai variants or recent attacks, but cannot confirm the increase is related to these variants and attacks. HKCERT will keep monitoring on the trend and continue the cleanup.

WannaCry ransomware outbreak occurred in May 2017. The WannaCry-bots are machines infected by WannaCry ransomware with the encryption mechanism not activated. HKCERT had handled 1,210 cases for WannaCry-bot in 2017 to try to clean up these machines infected by malware.

Virut botnet became active in 2006 and in 2013, its operations were disrupted by the Polish organization Naukowa i Akademicka Sie Komputerowa. According to security researcher3, its comeback was related to a recent campaign delivering 'Avzhan DDoS bot'. The researcher found that the server used for attack was infected with Virut, which was therefore attached on Avzhan and infected the targets. (P.17 of the report)

 HKCERT urges users to protect computers so as not to become part of the botnets.

  • patch their computers
  • install a working copy of the security software and scan for malware on their
  • machines
  • set strong passwords to avoid credential based attack
  • do not use Windows, media files and software that have no proper licenses
  • do not use Windows and software that have no security updates
  • do not open files from unreliable sources

HKCERT has been following up the security events received and proactively engaged local ISPs for the botnet clean up since June 2013. Currently, botnet cleanup operations against major botnet family - WannaCry, Avalanche, XCode Ghost, Pushdo, Citadel, Mumblehard, Ramnit, ZeroAccess and GameOver Zeus are still in action.

HKCERT urges general users to join the cleanup acts. Ensure your computers are not being infected and controlled by malicious software.

Protect yourself and keep the cyberspace clean.

    During July, the average daytime temperature rises up to 26ºC making July the second hottest month of the year (after August) in Cape Verde.

    Daytime highs can peak up at 27ºC and only very rarely temperatures go above 30ºC. During night time, the temperature drops slightly to 22ºC and nights are never too cold to enjoy the outdoors at Cape Verde.

    Sunshine Hours In Cape Verde

    Cape Verde enjoys sex hours of daily sunshine in July.

    How Warm Is the Sea In Cape Verde In July?

    Sea temperatures also follow the trend, rising up to 26ºC in the month of July. With the north-easterly trade winds losing their strength and the African-borne Harmattan winds dominate the island. Blowing from the south and the south-west, these winds are more pronounced at the Sotavento islands.

    Is Cape Verde Windy In July?

    From time to time, the Harmattan winds can carry desert sand in the form of dust storms over Cape Verde. These winds can cause discomfort to beachgoers as they enter and exit the water, by pelting them with sand. But these usually only last for ten minutes or so.

    Does It Rain In Cape Verde in July?

    July is the first month of the year that sees a respectable (but still relatively little) amount of rain. July has more rain than all the previous months combined, but with a total precipitation of just 11 mm this is still very scarce.

    Hotels for Cape Verde in July

    Hotel Savana

    The Hotel Savana is a quaint local hotel in Fogo with a tidy pool and warm Cape Verdian hospitality. The staff is surprisingly fluent in English and always eager to help. While the hotel's facilities are overall basic, they are very clean and well-maintained, providing excellent value for money.

    The Pontao is a beautiful all-inclusive 4 star hotel that's located at the centre of Santa Maria. Built and decorated in a style that lies between African and Caribbean, the Pontao offers attractive accommodation to families with older children and couples who seek some tranquil moments on the island of Sal.

    Limeira Hotel Resort

    The Limeira Hotel Resort is a seaside all-inclusive hotel close to Cape Verde's capital in the island of Santiago. The hotel is famous for its impressive vistas and its last terrace that overlooks a secluded bay. The experience is enhanced by the hotel's classy restaurant and cosy bar, which is open to non-visitors too.

    The Orquidea is a scenic guest house in the island of Boa Vista. The hotel is has just ten rooms, all equipped with bathroom, private balcony running hot water, in room bar, air conditioning, flat screen TV and more.

    Boa Vista Hotel

    The eponymous Boa Vista Hotel is a spectacular all inclusive resort on the island of Boa Vista and the only hotel in Foz, the historic part of the city where the Douro river meets the Atlantic ocean. The hotel is located on the tip of a bay on the old city and offers quality accommodation to tourists with a taste for fine Cape Verdian architecture and matching hospitality.

    Beaches for July for Cape Verde

    Porto Novo Beach

    The Porto Novo beach of Sao Antonio is a popular meeting spot for fishermen and tourist fishing trips. The beach itself might not have much to offer as it is surrounded by rocks, but the fishing opportunities here (including harpoon fishing) are numerous and all equally exciting.

    Ribeira Grante Beach

    For a more family friendly beach on Sao Antonio, try the Ribeira Grante beach at the northern side of the island. There you can find lots of tourist amenities for rent including parasols and a number of facilities such as restaurants, toilets, showers, accessibility ramps, lifeguard services and more.

    Restaurants and Bars for Cape Verde in July

    La Villa

    The restaurant La Villa is an alluring Mediterranean-themed eatery in Santa Maria. Specialising in seafood and local traditional dishes, the La Villa wins the hearts of its patrons with its unpretentious style, hearty portions and very warm atmosphere.

    Pizzeria O Cocktail

    The Pizzeria O Cocktail in Sao Vicente is famous for its delicious pizzas and the bustling live music evenings that play the latest Morna (local music) hits. There is something for everyone in this establishment, from tasty food and good company to famous Cape Verdean musicians who come to perform live.

    Tabu Bar

    The Tabu bar boasts a spacious open-air disco and is considered one of the liveliest clubs in Praia. The bar attracts mostly tourists but also certain locals with a love for foreign music. Drinks are fairly inexpensive and the bar is popular for its enormous 2 and 3 litre glasses.

    Mediterraneo Restaurante

    The Mediterraneo Restaurante is one of the highest rated gourmet restaurants in Cape Verde. Located in the heart of Praia, the nation's capital, the Mediterraneo is an authentic Cape Verdian taverna reimagined for the 21st century gourmand. The food is sublime as the restaurant serves local delicacies prepared with ultra-modern cooking methods.

    Things to Do in Cape Verde in July

    Santiago Excursions

    The wildlife on Santiago is practically unrivalled among all the islands on the archipelago. Numerous excursions around the island allow tourists to see vibrant blue kingfishers and green vervet monkeys up close, among numerous plant species unique to the island. For a view into the real Cape Verde away from the tourist towns, head up into the mountains to see the banana, coconut, sugar cane, mango and cashew plantations.

    Sao Vicente Golf Club

    Golf lovers should definitely visit the Sao Vicente Golf Club. This is one of the few golf spots on the whole nation of Cape Verde. It sports a unique 9-hole course and is located at the northern part of Sao Vicente. The course takes golfers through sandy plans, through rolling greens and across tropical forests in a smartly designed trail that provides a multi-tiered challenge for golfers of all skill levels.

    Dates for the diary

    July is a great time to visit the island of Boa Vista, which celebrates Municipality Day each year on July the 4th. Hundreds of locals and visitors alike gather at Sal Rei to celebrate Saint Isabel, the Patron Saint of Boa Vista. Although this is a cultural and religious festival, there are plenty of activities for travellers to partake in such as beach football games, boat races, horse riding, street dancing and more.

    The very next day, on July the 5th, Cape Verde celebrates its national independence day from Portugal. Celebrations are held in all major settlements including Praia and Sal Rei, where locals feast and invite tourists to celebrate democracy together by dancing local tunes. Parties can last well into the morning of July the 6th, with partygoers taking the action on the streets.

Home Wasn't Built In A Day: How To Stretch Your Budget With Your First Home

First-time homeownership is no easy goal for modern buyers. With average deposits sitting at around 15% and stringent affordability checks standard along the way, it can often seem impossible. Despite that, 41% of twenty-five to thirty-four-year-olds manage to invest against the odds. And, a surprising percentage of them do so with funds to spare. After all, you don’t have to be a genius to work out that home buying is about more than the initial outlay. Even seemingly ready-to-go newbuilds come with financial needs and setbacks, and first-time buyers need to be ready for that, generally with a savings pot that exceeds the £10,000 mark. The problem is, as you’ll know if you’re attempting to tackle your first home right now, even having £10,000 in the bank doesn’t guarantee you’ll get everything done. In fact, homeownership is so rife with financial setbacks in those early days that you might want to go as far as considering these essential budget-stretching pointers from day one.

Put pride to the side
Paying for everything from furniture to home updates can become a point of pride. You’ve come this far, after all, and you want to prove that you can do every last thing yourself. But, it’s time to face facts - there’s no room for pride where your first home is concerned. What’s more, you’ve already proven yourself by buying a property at this age. So, put pride aside and let people help you. It may be that loved ones have spare furniture to pass along. They may even be able to bag you a bargain with that friend who does building work. Let people in, and you should find that you can stretch your budget further than you thought possible.

Know what needs taking care of first
It also pays to prioritise expenses in terms of importance. After all, your budget is unlikely to cover everything in one hit. Instead, make sure your money covers those necessities by prioritising each task. In other words, highlight key areas, such as window replacements, installment of security doors, and even immediate repair concerns such as broken or missing roof tiles. Only after you’ve ticked these items off the to-do list should you return to your budget as it stands and start at last to spend on less important investments, such as that beautiful new bed frame you’ve been eyeing for months.

Remember that home wasn’t built in a day
Perhaps most importantly, you must remember that home wasn’t built in a day. Despite your best efforts to stretch budgets as they stand, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to get your new home how you want it within the next few months, or even your first year of living there. And, that’s okay! You can simply refocus your efforts on saving, or buy things as and when you’re able. This more patient approach will save you from feeling the pressure and could be the key to keeping you sane in your first year or more of homeownership.

Easter Bunny Wreath

7 Materials
3 Hours

Make this cute Easter bunny wreath for less than $25. Customize it with any color you want as spring approaches.

Gather Supplies Needed

Ashland Bush Gerbe 3 Bundles: $3.99 40% off each

Asland 10" Wreath x2: $4.99

Ashland 12" Heart Wreath: $7.99

Ribbon, scissors, cupcake holders, glue gun: household items

Connect Wreaths

Use your ribbon to tie the two wreaths together. I chose green to match the Bush Gerbe but brown would look great too. The wreath with less twine (appears smaller) should be on the top.

Knot the Ends

Make sure you tie the ends of the knot tightly so it does not unravel. It does not need to be neat as the leaves will cover it.

Cut the Heart Wreath

Cut the heart wreath on both sides below the wire that holds the twine together to ensure it does not unravel after being cut. This will be the ears.

Align the Ears

Place the ears where you visualize them going. It is okay if they are uneven. If needed, you can twist them to shape differently. You can also use the cupcake flowers later on to make it appear even.

Attach the Ears

Attach the ears like you did for the body. If it is uneven a bit, that is okay. When you put the flowers on, you can make it appear even.

Cut branches

Cut the branches off the stem. The stem is wire, so make sure to cut the plastic branch.

Visualize and Glue!

Place the leaves around the wreath and make sure it looks okay for you! Once you've done that, glue them down with hot glue. This is the most tedious part, but once you've done this, you're almost to the finish line!

Making Flowers!

Okay grab those cupcake liners! I used 4-5 liners for each cupcake. More or less depending on how full you want it! Now I'm thinking how cool this would be with coffee liners.... I smell another project.

Making the Flowers

This video file cannot be played.(Error Code: 102630)

Lay the liner flat. Fold it in half three times. Round the edges. You do not have to cut any further depending on the look you want. Or you can cut two triangles at the top. I did both to achieve different looks.

Use the hot glue and glue each cupcake liner down on top of each other.

Last, start gathering the liner from the center to form the flower.

Get creative!

Attach the Flowers

You can attach the flowers anywhere you think looks great! I chose this design and couldn't be happier.

Implications of homeopathic medicines in case of malaria
Author(s): Mohit Khandelwal
Malaria is the most decimating infectious disease on the planet, and expanding quantities of multi sedate opposition parasites are exacerbating it. The rising issue of bleakness and mortality legitimize the inquiry and selection of new apparatuses and measures to limit the effect of malaria. World Health Organization expressed that homeopathy is the second most utilized therapeutic framework universally which is a nontoxic type of elective medication and can be joined with established treatment strategies for maintaining a strategic distance from the danger of unfriendly impacts. Innumerous logical looks into have been done to support homeopathy as an entire logical framework to battle opposition. Foundation of traditional homeopathic medications for malaria can demonstrate as a cutting edge treatment, as homeopathy doesn't give any extent of opposition. The most imperative and noteworthy part of homeopathic solutions is that they are created after direct demonstrating on individuals and not on creatures. Each homeopathic solution is along these lines more likened to human instinct and human framework. This is a quality unshared by most pharmaceuticals in different frameworks. This survey will give logical premise to traditional homeopathic convention of ultra-high weakenings and their utilization as antimalarials. Homeopathic drugs are utilized against malaria since most recent two decades and this audit gives information of every single homeopathic antimalarial and the progressing looks into. The survey is upheld by most recent research in this field which can give a base to outlining better systems in the field of homeopathic antimalarial treatment.

HYT H4 Gotham

HYT which synthesise fluid mechanics with horology introduced a new model; H4 Gotham.

H4 indicates to a new opening page at brand’s history. As a first in the brand’s history, watch’s case made out of solid 3DTP carbon.

3DTP have usage in aviation industry and advanced level engineering designs due to its extreme lightness and durability.

It comprises carbon threads which are woven to a maximum diameter of 7 microns and with a thickness layer of 0.15 mm.

Along with all these tehcnological innovations the watch’s strap formed by combining NomexTM and rubber.

The brand’s CEO Vincent Perriard states that “The general idea of the H4 Gotham is to be more sporty and more technical”.

H4’s mechanism designed at optimum level by considering customer’s feedbacks. For this purpose, H4’s mechanism’s all layers designed independetly from others.

The upper layer designed as open top; hence a lot of elements can be seen and they didn’t use a flat dial. All of the wheel system, including the spring, are parts of the show.

While at the lower layer, the brand’s signature designs; pistons joining the show.

Whether its vertical positioning scheme is the same as previous watches, components positionings ,which encircle the pistons, are completely different.

First time with this watch, HYT preferred to engrave indexes on bezel; thus they achieve more spacious space on dial. In order to increase roominess feeling the case’s measurement increased to 51mm.

Another difference that the watch features is coverback made of sapphire crystal. The glass surrounded by chrome covering and this feature has two duties; first, giving a smokey look to glass and the second increasing visuality through creating a mirror effect at mechanism side.

With the variety of light games, H4 exceedingly remunerates its name.

At front side red color domination can be noticed. Thus they tried to catch a “bloody” look.

The new NYT H4 Gotham comes at a price of CHF 77.000 Swiss Francs / € 77.000 Euro / $ 79.000 USD.

Technical attributes:

Case: 3DTPtm carbon, 51mm x 17.9mm

Crown: DLC coated, titanium, surrounded by rubber

Glass: Convex sapphire crystal, AR covered from inside

Coverback: Screwed, sapphire crystal

Water Resistance: 50 meters

Mechanism: Skeleton, hand-wounded, in house, 28800 vph, 35 jewels, bridges are hand-bevelled and adorned with Côtes de Genève, rhodium-plated bellows, 65-hour power reserve.

Strap: Rubber base with integrated NomexTM fabric centre, and black DLC titanium folding buckle

Note: Limited to 50 pieces.

QUESTION:         Physicians have been offering to provide services outside their specialty to assist with our hospital’s COVID-19 response.  However, they’re concerned that their malpractice insurance may be limited to care provided within their specialties.  Are there any other legal protections available to them?

ANSWER:            Yes.  There are several federal laws that would protect physicians from malpractice liability for services provided to COVID-19 patients.  The best protection is for those who volunteer their services (i.e., do not bill or otherwise receive compensation).  State law should also be reviewed, as many states have similar protections.

None of the following statutes can prevent a lawsuit from being filed, and none provide absolute protection to health care professionals.  However, they should provide reassurance to professionals who provide services that might fall outside the limits of their insurance policies.

The federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was passed on March 27, 2020 to address the COVID-19 pandemic.  Section 3215 of the CARES Act states broadly that:

a health care professional shall not be liable under Federal or State law for any harm caused by an act or omission of the professional in the provision of health care services during the public health emergency with respect to COVID–19 declared by the Secretary of Health and Human Services…

Importantly, the CARES Act applies only to “volunteers,” which means the Act does not apply to professionals who bill third party payors for their services or who receive any other compensation.  The only exception is that mileage and lodging can be provided to those who travel more than 75 miles to volunteer their services.

The CARES Act applies to professionals who provide “health care services,” which is defined broadly to include “the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of COVID-19” or “the assessment or care of the health of a human being related to an actual or suspected case of COVID-19.”  Thus, any action taken by a volunteer with respect to a suspected or actual COVID-19 patient should be covered.  However, the CARES Act wouldn’t apply to physicians who volunteer to treat non-COVID patients to relieve the burden on those treating COVID patients.

The CARES Act also requires health care professionals to be providing services “within the scope of the license, registration, or certification of the volunteer.”  This will not pose a problem for physician volunteers, but non-physician volunteers should be careful not to exceed their licenses.

Not surprisingly, the CARES Act does not apply to willful or criminal misconduct.  Most of the laws described below have a similar limitation.

The federal Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act) differs from the CARES Act in that the PREP Act is not limited to volunteers.  Health care professionals who are paid for, or bill for, their services are still covered by the PREP Act.

However, the PREP Act probably applies to a narrower set of actions by health care professionals.  The PREP Act provides legal protection to persons and entities that manufacture, distribute, administer, prescribe or use “Covered Countermeasures.”  A Covered Countermeasure is a drug, device or biological product used to treat COVID-19.  It is not clear if the PREP Act would apply to allegations that a physician failed to diagnose COVID-19 or took some other action that did not involve a drug, device or biological product.

The federal Volunteer Protection Act (“VPA”) provides that a volunteer to a nonprofit organization cannot be held liable for harm caused by any act or omission so long as the volunteer was acting without compensation and within the scope of the volunteer’s responsibilities.

To be covered under the VPA, an individual must be a “volunteer” – which means that he or she must be volunteering for a nonprofit organization and cannot receive compensation, or anything else of value, in excess of $500 per year.
