    To my darling husband Joseph Fontaine Baugher, of 35 beautiful married years! You have been my whole world. We met in 1965 in the Physics Department at Brown University in Providence Rhode Island. I was Physics Department secretary on the fourth floor of the newly built Barus Holly modern science building.

Chairman of our Physics Department, Phil Bray was a character. Finally, in 1969, you received your...

    Residents of Tuvalu, one of the world’s lowest-lying island nations, are preparing for a historic migration as the impacts of climate change push the country closer to becoming uninhabitable. Thousands of Tuvaluans have applied for a new visa program that allows them to relocate to Australia in response to rising sea levels threatening their homeland. The Pacific Engagement Visa, part of a treaty between Australia and Tuvalu, is the world’s first climate migration agreement. It offers Tuvaluan citizens the opportunity to permanently move to Australia to escape the imminent threat of flooding back home. Only 280 people will be accepted...

    From Auschwitz to Abortion: The Tragedy of Henry Morgentaler It has long haunted me how Henry Morgentaler, sometimes referred to as Canada’s “father of abortion,” survived Nazi concentration camps only to go on to perpetrate similar horrors against the smallest and most vulnerable members of the human family: preborn children. How did a Jewish Holocaust survivor from Poland—someone who endured the worst of man’s inhumanity to man at the infamous Nazi camps of Auschwitz-Birkenau and later Dachau—go on to dehumanize and destroy tens of thousands of preborn human beings, robbing them of their most fundamental right: the right to life?...

    Bill Cosby said that when he learned of the death of Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who played his son on "The Cosby Show," he spoke with Phylicia Rashad, who played the mother.

Warner's death shocked the entertainment world Monday when it became known that the performer drowned in Costa Rica the day before during a family vacation. The 54-year-old was apparently pulled out to sea by a...

    Truth ^ | 17/7/25
    When you are accused, criticized, or attacked, what is your first instinct? To defend yourself. To explain your intentions. To set the record straight. But Niccolò Machiavelli, the master strategist of power, would tell you this is a fatal error. Every word you spend on defense is a word that solidifies your position as the weak one, the one on trial. You are playing their game, on their terms, and you have already lost. In this brutally effective video, “NEVER Defend Yourself - Machiavelli’s Trick to Flip the Power Instantly,” we break down one of the most potent psychological tactics...

    Chicagoans can’t catch a break when it comes to the cost of living—at least, according to a new study from home-goods pros Highland Cabinetry, which ranks the most overpriced cities in the U.S. Analyzing a diverse range of metrics that consider not only the cost of living but also the quality of life in the Windy City—including the exorbitant expense of housing, earned income, relative safety, traffic and so on—the study sourced its data from the likes of the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Zillow real estate stats.

The chronic, long-term effects of brain injury are wide-ranging, and can include fatigue, sensitivity to noise and light, memory loss, mobility problems, chronic migraines, trouble with focus and executive functioning, depression, anxiety, and susceptibility to conditions such...

    A covert ring of journalists and fact-checkers—tasked with discrediting and burying the Pizzagate story—has been exposed. But they weren’t just protecting the pedophile elite.

It was a cover-up. And now, their cover is blown justice is coming down like a hammer. Before we dive in, a quick word about our partner VP.net—the next generation of...

    The year 1973 was full of change and entirely groovy. The U.S. pulled out of Vietnam, Roe v. Wade shook up the courts, and gas lines stretched for blocks as the oil crisis took hold. On the flip side, bell-bottoms were in full swing, Pink Floyd dropped “The Dark Side of the Moon,” and a little horse named Secretariat ran straight into the history books. These 1973 photos represent how electric the year was.
