Starting A New Year After an Alzheimer's Death
It's been eight months since my wife died with Alzheimer's disease (AD). I've moved on with my new life as a widower ... but it's definitely been a bumpy ride. I still "lose it" occasionally. Tears may come while listening to a song, watching a tender scene on TV, or during an event that I wish I could have shared with Clare. Sometimes just a passing thought of Clare brings painful tears There isn't one day since Clare's death that I have not thought about her or "spoken" to her in my mind. Not one day. I struggled with depression and sadness on many days for four months after Clare's death ... but all that changed when ...

Victoria's Secret Angel Perfectly Sums Up Breastfeeding Double Standard
Model Candice Swanepoel just made an important point about the double standard breastfeeding moms face.  On Sunday, the Victoria’s Secret Angel posted a photo that showed her breastfeeding her son, whom she welcomed in October. In her caption, she wrote about the shaming women who breastfeed in public sometimes face from others. Swanepoel wrote that she, too, has experienced this judgment from others while breastfeeding, and contrasts it to her experiences as a model.   “I have been made to feel the need to cover up and somewhat shy to feed my baby in public places but strangely feel nothing for ...

Study Finds Social Media Detrimental To Self Body Image
CBS Local – Social media has changed the modern world, for better or worse. Many of us are enamored with the platforms, especially young people, but it could have a damaging effect on our sense of self. According to a study conducted by the University of New South Wales, Australia, social media platforms are detrimental to our sense of body image. When we are constantly smacked with models whose pictures are heavily edited, we portray ourselves in a negative light in comparison. Other research by the same university found that women rarely compare themselves to magazines or billboards these days, only seldom for te...

Fake News & Royal Society Evo Meeting
"Lies, Fake News, and the Main Stream Media," the cover story of the latest issue of ColdType, unfortunately also applies to the state of science reporting as evidenced by main stream coverage of the recent Royal Society public evolution conference.

But I’ll tell you this: Managing Editor Jan Cottingham’s recent interview with Robert Foster, the inventor who founded Intimidator after a painful split with Bad Boy, was a great read.
