Jackie Bradley Jr. Reportedly A ‘ Priority ’ For Houston Astros
BOSTON (CBS) — The Houston Astros are reportedly banging the drum pretty hard in their efforts to steal Jackie Bradley Jr. from the Red Sox. According to Peter Gammons, the slick-fielding outfielder is “a priority” for the Astros this offseason. The Red Sox have reached out to Bradley Jr. and are interested in bringing the free agent center fielder back, but the Astros may be willing to throw a lot more cash into his gold glove. Houston is likely going to lose free agent George Springer this winter, with fellow outfielders Michael Brantley and Josh Reddick also potentially leaving via free agency. So they...

Hearts that drum together beat together
(Bar-Ilan University) Researchers from Bar-Ilan University found that in a structured group drumming task aspects of participants' heart function synchronized. In a subsequent improvisational drumming task, groups with high physiological synchrony in the structured task showed more coordination in drumming. The data show that behavioral synchronization and enhanced physiological synchronization while drumming each uniquely predicts a heightened experience of group cohesion. Additionally, higher physiological synchrony predicts enhanced group performance in a subsequent, different group task.

COVID-19 offers an opportunity to revive collaboration world-wide, but the public and political leaders in North America a...
