Choosing Life by Blue Andrews If there’s one word that can sum up Blue Andrews‘ memoir Choosing Life (Luminare Press), it’s courage. Throughout the book, Andrews displays the courage to tell a brutal story about a life self-destructing day by day, hitting the lowest of lows and then having the courage to, as the book’s title suggests, choose life by undergoing a long and arduous recovery process. As he recounts his battles with grief, alcoholism and depression, he also gives readers guidance on finding the strength and support to endure. We got the chance to speak with Andrews on what…
The most chaotic season of reality TV is over; now, it’s time to pick up the pieces. Wednesday’s finale of Vanderpump Rules was filled with all the drama we expected after Ariana Madix discovered her boyfriend of nine years, Tom Sandoval, had been sleeping with one of her best friends.

Bacteria are also able to communicate with each other through chemical signals, a behavior known as quorum signaling (QS). These chemical signals spread through a biofilm that colonies of bacteria form after they reach a certain density, and are used to help the colonies scavenge food, as well as defend against threats, like antibiotics. Researchers examined how different structures affects biofilm growth and QS by the bacteria in the presence of antibiotics. They found structure does have an effect on QS in some strains of the bacteria. Similar to how cells within human tissues communicate and function together as a…

However, the Honor Magic Vs is fantastic for YouTube, letting you enjoy the excesses of limitless online content by reading comments or searching for new stuff and watching a video at the same time.

Masks work. Especially respirator-style N95 masks. Amid an ongoing pandemic and outbreaks of influenza and RSV caused by airborne viruses, arguing over the virus-blocking power of masks remains one of the COVID era’s signature follies. Disconcertingly, despite decades of evidence of their efficacy, some of the disagreement comes from a few in the medical field itself, misusing science and endangering lives. Most recently a Cochrane review, which systematically assesses multiple randomized controlled trials, provoked headlines after claiming a lack of evidence that masks prevent transmission of many respiratory viruses. Not for the public, health care workers, or anyone. “There is…
