Pope Benedict in critical condition

Former Pope Benedict is suffering from a disease of the nervous system which puts him on a wheelchair regularly.
His brother, George Ratzinger, on Thursday said his condition was critical and added that he feared the paralysis could spread to Benedict’s heart.

Benedict, a German, who in 2013 became the first Pope in six centuries to resign, said earlier in the month that he was in the last phase of life and on a “pilgrimage toward home”. He is 90 years old.
Ratzinger, 94, told the Neue Post that his brother was mentally fit but tired easily.

“The greatest fear is that the paralysis could at some point spread to his heart.
“Then, it could be over quickly,” he said, adding that he was praying daily for a “good” death for himself and his brother.

He disclosed that they spoke every day on the telephone, saying “that is a great gift; in this way, no one is alone”.

“I very much hope that I can travel one more time to Rome to celebrate the 91st birthday of my brother on April 16.

“But that is a long time away; who knows what will happen by then,” Ratzinger said.
Since resigning, Benedict has been living in a former convent in the Vatican gardens and makes only rare public appearances.

Why people perform better when they are being watched

Working alongside others may improve performance echnology may have made working from home easier than ever, but according to a new study, staff who are out of sight may not perform as well as those in the office. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, US, wanted to find out whether being watched while undertaking a task made a difference to its outcome. Many people believe that being under constant scrutiny damages their creativity while others live in fear of freezing in front of an audience during a public event. But the findings suggest that the pressure of others actually makes people achieve more. "You might think having people watch you isn't going to help, but it might actually make you perform better," said lead author Vikram Chib, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins and the Kennedy Krieger Institute. "An audience can serve as an extra bit of incentive." Participants played games on their own or w
