(CNN) — Cuando la tragedia ocupa el escenario mundial, puede convertirse rápidamente en parte de todas las conversaciones.Pero por mucho que nos parezca imperativo seguir de lleno las trágicas actualizaciones y participar en las cargadas conversaciones sobre Israel y Gaza, hacerlo sin límites puede conducir a la fatiga por compasión, afirma la Dra. Rebecca Sachs, psicóloga clínica residente en Nueva York.La fatiga por compasión también puede considerarse un trauma secundario, es decir, que una persona está traumatizada aunque no sea la que ha sufrido el suceso, explica el Dr. Charles Figley, Catedrático Distinguido Kurzweg de Salud Mental en Catástrofes de la Universidad Tulane de Nueva Orleans.El término se creó para captar la experiencia de las personas que desempeñan funciones o profesiones asistenciales, como terapeutas, bomberos, policías, profesionales sanitarios de urgencias y familiares que cuidan de alguien con una enfermedad crónica, explicó Figley.Pero quienes obser...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:55:07 GMT

Tent removal will begin in earnest Wednesday at the area known as Mass. & Cass, at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Boulevard and Boston police officers will be supporting city officials with enforcing the new tent ban.The ban is part of an effort to combat illegal activity and drug use in the area.

Drops, Flakes and Chilly Air

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:55:07 GMT

There was certainly a little chill in the air last night for the Trick-or-Treaters, but with light winds and dry air, overall, it was a solid evening for the kiddos, who running from house to house, seem oblivious to the cold anyway. I hope everyone had a great time last night and enjoyed the evening. Today, the battle goes on trying to keep the candy intake under control. Also, the battle goes on fighting a bit of a chill in the air as we lose our completely dry weather. A few scattered showers sprout up from time to time, with the highest risk favoring near the coast and down through Southeast Mass. Inland, showers are more isolated, and with some chilly air in place, a few flakes may mix in from time to time, especially across the higher terrain. I do expect any accumulation issues. Temps today run in the upper 30s with showers are present to the mid 40s during dry times. Showers fade away this evening and skies clear out quickly. That’ll allow temps to fade fast too with ...

BC hoop preview: Talented Eagles begin the campaign with high hopes, eyes fixed on March

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:55:07 GMT

Boston College men’s basketball coach Earl Grant is flush with continuity, a rare occurrence in the new age of high-profile collegiate athletics.According to Grant, only he and Marquette coach Shaka Smart are beginning the 2023-24 season holding similar pat hands. The Eagles have three starters and nine lettermen back from a team that won eight regular season ACC games, including upset victories over Florida State and Virginia, and one in the conference tournament.“We have nine returners, which is rare in this era with transfers and NIL,” said Grant. “Somebody told me at the ACC meetings there are only two teams (in Division 1) that have that many returners and they are Boston College and Marquette.“It’s been pretty refreshing and there were times in practice before I can actually teach a play or teach a scheme, the older team might do it before I teach it.“They teach the other guys on their own so there is a great understanding of what we are trying to do. That’s because of the con...
