No Time for Tears: Coping with Grief in a Busy World
I truly believe that people are well-meaning. But when it comes to helping others through their loss, some of us just don’t have the skills to aid a grieving individual. We are often uncomfortable around those who have had a loved one die, and say things that are not helpful. And we often want to rush the other person through their grief, as it is difficult to sit in sadness. In No Time for Tears: Coping with Grief in a Busy World, Judy Heath addresses a number of different aspects when it comes to loss, especially when it comes to responding to a person who is grieving and taking note of what they are going through...

‘Romeo and Juliet’ Dinosaurs Found Buried Together
Researchers uncovered a dinosaur couple that had been buried together for more than 75 million years and gave them the nicknames “Romeo and Juliet.” The dinosaurs, a pair of oviraptors, were found to have physical differences suggesting they were male and female, similar to the gender differences seen in modern birds, the researchers wrote in the journal Scientific Reports. They were discovered within about 20 centimeters of each other in the Gobi Desert, Mongolia. It’s likely that the love birds were killed in a sand dune collapse brought on by heavy rains, and therefore buried alive—suggesting a m...

Weight Loss Surgery and Sane Eating: Can they coexist?
How does weight loss surgery mesh--or not--with the goal of eating sanely? This question triggers strong reactions—it's an "easy way out” or a “band-aid”. Or, on the other side, it's an effortless solution. The idea of surgery as a drastic solution seesaws with the idea that it's a lazy solution. Neither idea is true, or helpful.read more

Bill and Melinda Gates Applaud the Good Works of 2 Very Good People
