We Are Not Safe From Mass Shootings … But We Could Be
by Alison A. Trotta
I was in high school when Columbine happened. At the time, everything about it felt surreal, unsettling. Growing up in an area that was considered safe, it seemed unfathomable that something like that could happen. Surely, it would never happen at my high school. Surely, it was an impossible thing. Still, I remember the unease, walking those halls, the whisper of worry in the eyes of my classmates. My mother's more emphatic "be careful." Then, it was an anomaly. Now, it is commonplace.

The Energetic Information Superhighway: Reiki and Binaural Beats
by Kelly LeBlanc
Knowledge production and dissemination on a cognitive and subconscious level through the practice of energy transfer using Usui Reiki Ryoho ("Reiki") and sound healing through binaural beats has the potential to challenge our concept of knowledge creation and knowledge transfer. This NewsBreak will define and discuss Reiki and binaural beats as they help us to explore knowledge curation through (as some might think) less conventional means. Energy work such as Reiki is not a new healing modality, but it is becoming more common among the general population and in hospital settings in the West. This NewsBreak builds a comprehensive picture of conscious/subconscious and tacit/explicit knowledge production and diffusion through these two modalities.
