Typically, that would mean Smith would be off on a full-blown press tour, hyping the movie as much as he possibly could.

After discussing Emancipation for about half the interview, he and Trevor Noah then did get into the subject on everyone’s minds:…

In a study published recently in the journal Clinical Cancer Research, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine found that treating patients who have resectable malignant pleural mesothelioma, meaning that their tumor can be removed with surgery, with immunotherapy ahead of surgery resulted in favorable clinical outcomes.

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…

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…

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…
