You try more than once to get hired for that position, but the organization’s structure seems completely inflexible and adverse to internal moves and changes. What do you do? Most people tend to complain, blame, lose hope, and then suffer their disappointment in silence. Unfortunately, they overlook a very important success strategy. Before you start pining away for that elusive position, you must first do a reality check to see whether you qualify for your goal. You might aim for something that requires a more advanced skill set than you currently possess, or that simply doesn’t correspond with your abilities at all. In those cases, you need to put some serious effort into yourself before you cry, blame, or compl...

How about: Some Egyptians Who Died and Were Mummified Had Heart Disease, Just Like Us in the Year 2009. Too long, huh? Researchers don’t only research current issues, such as finding cures for cancer or ways to make body parts regrow, they also look back in an attempt to understand what happened in earlier times. In this particular study, researchers were looking for signs of atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, in mummies. We tend to think of heart disease as a modern problem, but the earlier discovery of the Pharaoh Merenptah (c. 1213-1203 BC), who was 60 years old at his death, having had atherosclerosis, arthritis and dental decay led researchers to study othe...

Burial mask of mummy King Tutankhamun. Image: Newscom But that’s exactly what Egypt hopes to do with its most famous mummy King Tutankhamun and the two fetuses found in his tomb. After ten years of refusal, Egypt’s chief of antiquities Zahi Hawass finally allowed DNA tests to discover the lineage of King Tut. King Tut only lived for 19 years in ancient Egypt and reigned for nine years, but he became famous for the mysteries surrounding his life and abrupt death. His discovery in 1922 was a magnificent surprise. His secret tomb remained untouched by thieves, and with him were buried more treasures than any royal tomb ever found. The identity of his parents were never known. He supposedly married the daughter of ...

We had a fabulous time, and that includes the anxious moments, which were expected. It was a brand new experience for Charlie—-the first time he has gone to an art museum and to one that is not a designated children’s museum—and, of course, Jim was still out of town. There was some hollering and the usual looks: We just kept moving on. (And later, as we waited on the platform for the PATH train near where the WTC once stood, I noted that Charlie’s fingers were red and that he was bending over to pick up a tiny white object: He had just lost a tooth and that must have been bothering him all day.) We got into New York City and walked east to catch the #6 subway (another new thing) and then got off at 7...
