I knew I’d be spending a decent amount of time outdoors in the thick of Reykavik’s otherworldly (and notoriously unpredictable) climate, which meant that I’d require an all-weather coat that could handle the…

By Howard Bloom This is the most abnormal election of your lifetime and mine. At this moment, a mere eleven days before we go to the polls, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are running neck and neck.

Predicts the Economist, Trump will get 276 electoral college votes, six more then he…

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.04It happens at least once a season, but with only seven episodes left I didn’t have patience for Danny’s guest partner. Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 12 sidelined Baez in favor of a snobby British investigator who insisted Danny work with him to catch a gunrunner, while Jamie had the goofiest case he’s had in a while. However, Frank and Erin demonstrated yet again that they take their jobs seriously, and their integrity more than made up for the silliness elsewhere.

Scenes From a Misbegotten Life by Victoria Maiden “If the book was designed to enlighten, touch our emotions and provide us with a magnificent story, chock full of anecdotes and incredible use of the language, well, you can check off all those boxes.” It’s a hard subject to talk about, especially for someone suffering from it. “Many of us have been labeled or even seen ourselves as freaks, weirdos, oddballs, eccentrics and outcasts. So it’s no surprise that many of us attempt to keep our illness hidden to the extent we can.” That’s what makes Victoria Maiden’s intimate, heartfelt and…

Invasive silver carp have been on the verge of invading the Great Lakes from the Illinois River for a decade, but they can’t seem to get past a pool south of Chicago.

With efforts to clean the Chicago Area Waterway, the barrier to invasion may one day disappear. Credit: University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Invasive silver carp have been spreading throughout the Mississippi River Basin since their introduction a half-century ago.

Critic’s Rating: 3 / 5.03I hate to say it, but Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 Episode 5 did not, in fact, make my heart explode. There was nothing inherently wrong with the episode, and it works fine as filler content for a show that just won’t stop. Despite the potential for massive shakeups, which were hinted at in the promo, the hour was just sort of lackluster. (Disney/Anne Marie Fox) Yearning for the Grey’s Anatomy of Yesteryear You can call me a lot of things, but a Grey’s Anatomy hater is not one of them. That isn’t going to stop me…

Scientists at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center have gotten the evidence that traumatic brain injuries (TBI) could heighten the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. This study had involved both animal models and human brain tissue.

A key aspect of the research points to a protein called BAG3, which plays a critical role in removing harmful proteins from the brain. Enhancing this protein could potentially reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s in individuals who have experienced TBI.How TBIs May…

Psychologists know that childhood trauma, or the experience of harmful or adverse events, can have lasting repercussions on the health and well-being of people well into adulthood. But while the consequences of early adversity have been well researched in humans, people aren’t the only ones who can experience adversity.If you have a rescue dog, you probably have witnessed how the abuse or neglect it may have experienced earlier in life now influence its behavior — these pets tend to be more skittish or reactive. Wild animals also experience adversity. Although their negative experiences are easy to dismiss as part of…
