Ensuring that information being shared is coming from a valid and reliable source has always been crucial. But for many, this hasn’t been especially important for a variety of factors—it’s easy to believe what’s posted if the person posting is one you generally trust; some information being shared feels intuitive and thus is likely not wrong (or if it is wrong, it won’t cause actual harm); media literacy skills are generally not a cultural strong suit; and, frankly, not caring for any number of reasons. But in an era where our information is continuing to be skewed by those with…

What I Like About The Canada Goose Cypress Down JacketAs much as I prioritize function, anything I wear has to actually reflect my personal style, too.

Most of my day-to-day wardrobe revolves around neutrals, and this limestone shade with a subtle sheen complements countless tones that I frequently reach for (like black and cream). If limestone isn’t your hue, there are eight others to choose from, including summit pink and jasper green. Other noteworthy details: This style is available in sizes ranging from 2XS to 2XL, and it features…

In 1988, I was hit by an illness without a name, an illness that would imprison me in my bedroom for the next fifteen years. Today it’s called myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome. I lost nearly everything that had made me me, the PR firm I’d founded to sneak into mass behavior, a firm where I’d worked with people like Michael Jackson, Prince, Bob Marley and Billy Joel. I lost my contacts, my friends, and my purpose in life. All I had left was my science,…

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Hotel guests who can customize their rooms by selecting the layout, snack bar offerings, and softness of the pillows are more likely to become loyal customers of that hotel and recommend it to others. A new study published in Cornell Hospitality Quarterly finds that guests who gain some sense of ownership for their hotel room show a greater attachment to the brand after they check out. Encouraging “psychological ownership” of hotel rooms offers a new, cost-effective strategy to enhance customer loyalty, said study co-author Suzanne Shu, dean of faculty and research at Cornell University’s SC Johnson…
