When my eight-year-old son told me he was making his friends happy and fighting bullies in a video game, I was curious. He told me about Kind Kingdom, a game his school librarian recommended. On his computer, my son walked his character toward a friend whose head was down and handed the other character a heart. The friend picked up his head and smiled. Then my son maneuvered the player along a path and came across a bully who was jumping up and down with his teeth clenched. One swift series of button presses, and the bully was behind bars.Kind…

BookTrib is proud to present to our readers the Writers, Ink podcast, a show about the business of writing. J.K. Rowling was nearly homeless when she wrote the first Harry Potter book. Stephen King penned Carrie on a small desk wedged between a washer and dryer. James Patterson worked in advertising and famously wrote the Toys “R” Us theme song long before becoming an author. Whether you’re traditionally published or indie, writing a good book is only the first step in becoming a successful author.

Viruses can inflame and disrupt connections between the olfactory system, which governs the sense of smell, and the part of the brain associated with memory and learning, possibly accelerating the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. The findings, published Tuesday in the journal Neurobiology of Aging, could lead to new therapies that detect Alzheimer’s disease (AD) earlier while helping to illuminate the role that viruses and the olfactory system play in driving the illness. “We know that one of the early signs of Alzheimer’s disease is losing…

Why I Write Reverse Harem Romance By Stephanie Brother I started writing reverse harem romance novels several years ago, and I’ve got to say, I love it. For those unfamiliar with RH, it’s a story where a woman falls in love with more than one man. It’s entirely different from a love triangle and it’s definitely not cheating. All parties are open and honest with each other. The gist of RH is that a woman meets several amazing men who are so incredible that she couldn’t possibly choose between them—so she doesn’t. And the men feel that the woman is…
A Million Little Things kicked off with a death, and it may well end with one. TV Line shared a first-look photo for A Million Little Things Season 5, and it looks like the gang is in mourning. Eddie, Katherine, Greta, Regina, and Maggie are present in the photo, which you can view here. We’re inclined to believe whatever happens isn’t related to the four, but it will impact them enough to attend a funeral. It does look like they’re attending a funeral, and naturally, that makes us super worried about the future of some of the characters on the…
The Jewish festival of Hanukkah — also spelled Chanukah — is a celebration that happens around the middle of winter each year. But why is it eight days long?The most commonly heard explanation is that the eight days commemorate a miracle in which a small amount of oil burned not for one but eight days. However, this is actually not the original reason that Hanukkah lasts for so long, a scholar of Jewish history told Live Science. But no matter the explanation, Hanukkah has always lasted eight days, even the first year it was celebrated in ancient times.Related: Was the ‘forbidden…

Jen Shah is going to prison. We’ve known that much about The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star since pleading guilty to one count of committing wire fraud earlier this year. According to advisor guidelines, Shah faces 11 to 14 years in prison and has penned a letter asking a judge will give her a truncated, three-year sentence instead. “The terrible business decisions I made and professional relationships I developed stemmed from some personal painful experiences that I was going through in my life,” Shah wrote in a four-page letter to the judge, according to CNN. Shah’s attorney said…
If you’re contemplating a complex problem, think of Occam’s razor, as simplicity is often best. (Image credit: Laurence Dutton via Getty Images)Occam’s razor (also spelled Ockham’s razor) cuts through complexity with a no-nonsense approach. The philosophical maxim “Numquam ponenda est pluralitas sine necessitate,” written by 14th-century Franciscan friar William of Ockham, translates to “Plurality must never be posited without necessity.” In other words, all else being equal, simplicity is best. So is this actually true? Is the simplest explanation usually the best one? Not exactly. Ockham never said complexity is inherently inferior to simplicity, nor did he declare complex explanations inherently wrong.…

The practice of adding ‘leap seconds’ to official clocks to keep them in sync with Earth’s rotation will be put on hold from 2035, the world’s foremost metrology body has decided. The decision was made by representatives from governments worldwide at the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) outside Paris on 18 November. It means that from 2035, or possibly earlier, astronomical time (known as UT1) will be allowed to diverge by more than one second from coordinated universal time (UTC), which is based on the steady tick of atomic clocks. Since 1972, whenever the two time systems have…
On my fortnightly mooch around my local COS store, I was pleasantly surprised. Not that I usually aren’t, as it’s definitely one of my most-loved high street stores, but I was pleased to see so much colour. After all, winter in renowned for favouring darker hues. As I walked around, I saw pops of purple that reminded me of ‘the purple one’ in a box of Quality Street (yes Xmas chocs are firmly on my mind), and then, I spotted a shade I really wasn’t expecting—lime green. Updating everything from cosy knitwear, midi dresses and bucket hats, I have to say,…
