Note 2: Thanks to Tex Beethoven for editing. Wrong Text Recipient: Dick Pic from my Son It was Monday, April 1, 2024. I was working late and the sun was already down, when my son Henry texted me: What time will you be getting home tonight? I looked askance at the huge pile of work still cluttering my desk, sighed, and responded: Likely a couple more hours. I’ll order pizza for us…
Learning how to give and accept apologies are an essential ingredient of a strong, healthy marriage. Accepting that you and your mate do the best you can will help you be more understanding. This does not mean you condone his or her hurtful actions. You simply come to a more compassionate and realistic view of your spouse. This can be especially important for a remarried couple who have baggage from their former marriage and may unpack it during arguments. Becoming better at giving and accepting a sincere apology will help you move on from bitterness and resentment and to be more emotionally…
“The doors of the University are not open to women, and I trust they never will be,” said the Vice-Principal of the Toronto School of Medicine in 1865 to Emily Stowe. She replied, “Then I will make it the business of my life to see that they will be opened, that women will have the same opportunities as men.” Stowe earned her medical degree in the United States two years after this rejection and returned to Canada in 1867 to become its first female physician, although she worked out of her Toronto clinic without a formal medical licence until 1880. In…
I’ve never been nor will I ever be a theologian. But I disagree with Gordon’s words here. He says in the first paragraph, “…one day man went away from God. And then he went farther away. He left home. He left his native land, Eden, where he lived with God. He emigrated from God. And through going away he lost his mother-tongue.” If you believe the creation story(s) and think they’re factual, Gordon can’t be right here. Leaving wasn’t Adam’s choice and it’s wrong to suggest it was. Man didn’t voluntarily leave the Garden. God forced him out and left…
Hi, I’m Cameron Reck, originally from Sebring, Florida. When I was about 12 or 13 years old, I had a significant moment. I ran out to check the mail, and amidst the letters, there was a random men’s health magazine. Rushing back to my bedroom, I flipped through it, captivated by the stunning men inside. However, excitement quickly turned to fear and terror as I realized my conservative Christian upbringing wouldn’t accept these feelings. Growing up in a conservative household and homeschooled throughout my education, I felt immense pressure to suppress my attractions. This internal struggle persisted into college. Despite…
When a tree falls in the forest, lianas hear an opportunity. Figuratively, at least. These long-stemmed woody vines hitch a ride to the canopy by climbing up trees, rather than investing in their own structural support, i.e. a trunk. Evolving an impressive arsenal of adaptations, lianas compete aggressively with other plants for nutrients, water and sunlight — especially near gaps in the canopy. This botanical battle plays out in forests across the world, but it’s particularly prevalent in tropical forests, where lianas can comprise up to 25% of woody plant species. Researchers have known for decades that woody vines are becoming more…
When it comes to voting by mail, Utah is not your typical deep red state. In 2020, when many states scrambled to implement mail-in voting so voters had a safe way to cast a ballot during the pandemic, Utah already had a system. Republican conspiracy theories questioning the integrity of voting by mail in the tumultuous aftermath of the 2020 election never rang true for most Utahns. They’d been testing the system for years and found it trustworthy and convenient. In Utah, that appreciation has stuck in the four years since, despite several legislative attempts by Republicans to curb residents’ access to mail-in ballots. Again…

Donald Trump’s recent characterization of American Jews who vote for Democrats as people who hate their religion and hate Israel is more than simply another stereotypical, ignorant, and biased rant from the former president. It is a cynical political ploy in his attempt to siphon Jews from the Democratic Party. Trump made his accusation in an interview published online on March 18, 2024 with Sebastian Gorka, a former Trump special White House aide who now hosts a conservative talk radio program, “America First.” Gorka asked Trump about criticism that prominent Democrats — including Senator Chuck Schumer, the majority leader and President Biden —…
When the NBA celebrated the start of its 75th season in the Fall of 2021, it was clear that the 3-point shot adopted by the league in 1979-80 had transformed the sport. The number of attempts beyond the arc had increased in each of the previous 10 seasons, from 22.2% in 2010-11 to 39.2% in 2020-21, and it had been nearly five years since a team won a game without making at least one 3-pointer (that streak is now up to eight years). Led by 3-point specialists Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, the Golden State Warriors had won three of the…
