A rare act of bravery earned 12-year-old Kathryn Van Horn an opportunity to visit the White House and receive a special decoration from President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Two boys went sledding in the winter snow on February 5, 1936, in the community of White Cottage near Zanesville, Ohio. Neither Gerald Nixon, 12, nor Raymond Kelly, 10, realized that busy train tracks lay at the bottom of the hill they were sledding. Fortunately, Van Horn, a sixth-grade student at the local school, recognized that they were heading into the path of a moving locomotive. She threw herself in front of the sled, and though she was badly injured, she succeeded in dislodging the boys just in time—their sled continued without them and was crushed by the train.
On August 13, Miss Van Horn learned that she was to receive the Army and Navy Legion of Valor Medal for her bravery. Her response was a deep blush and a startled “Gee!” Asked why she had saved the boys, she simply said “There wasn’t anything else I could do.”
President Roosevelt awarded her the medal on September 12 at the White House in the presence of recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor and Distinguished Service Cross. He praised the girl for her courage and told her that he was especially pleased that she came “from old Dutch stock, the same as I do.” After Miss Van Horn thanked the president, he gave her a Mickey Mouse toy that he kept on his desk for several months. Afterwards, she said she was “glad it is all over so that I can return home to study.”
The photo shows Kathryn Van Horn outside the entrance to the White House West Wing after receiving her Army and Navy Legion of Valor Medal on September 12, 1936.

We’re actually learning that poor nutrition is just as bad for your skin as cigarette smoking. A poor diet can cause inflammation, which triggers oxidative stress and in turn damages collagen and DNA, making you look older. Here are the top 10 food offenders to keep off your plate.

The Obama Administration, by the numbers
Some of these stats couldn't be completed until final reports were in for the Federal Fiscal Year ending in September. Overall, it makes for interesting reading, and reference, as the Trump Administration makes its way forward. And, with some notable exceptions, they are numbers that any president could be proud of, especially given the shape the country was in when Obama took office.

Switch from Pattern Unlock to Protect the Information on Your Android Phone
Swiping across a few dots to unlock your Android phone seems very convenient, but it is much less secure than using a PIN or fingerprint. Researchers found that almost two thirds of people were able to reproduce a six-point pattern after watching only once from five to six feet away and 80 percent were able to reproduce it after watching twice. By comparison, only about one in ten could reproduce a six-digit PIN watching it once, and only a little over one in four people could reproduce it after watching a second time.
Of course, many people create patterns that cover fewer than six dots making it that much easier. I intentionally look away when people unlock their phones, but some people do it so quickly that I don't get a chance -- and many of the patterns I saw had only four dots in a trivial pattern.
Switching to a fingerprint sensor is much safer because someone would literally have to copy your fingerprint to match that or force you to unlock it for them. If your phone doesn't have a fingerprint sensor, use a PIN with a reasonable number of digits.
BTW, a simple trick to protect your PIN if someone is "shoulder surfing" when you're getting ready to unlock your phone is to add in some extra digits and then delete them again as you're entering your PIN. For example, it's much harder to figure out that your PIN is 123456 if they see you type 15<298<<342<56 where "<" is the backspace or delete key. Many people who see a sequence of 6 digits once can remember it but would quickly lose track with the extra digits and deletions.
