In the ’60s, most of my generation (including me) was angry at America for the distant jungle war that had also become a war at home....

Now, it appears the opportunity has arisen. On Monday, Sanders confirmed reports Colorado has offered him a head coaching job, while also not tipping his entire hand. “The report is true and they’re not the only ones,” Sanders told reporters via teleconference. “I would be a liar if I told you they didn’t. You know they did. I know they did. So it is what it is.” Jackson State is currently undefeated on the year, sitting at 11-0, and Sanders said this latest development won’t detract from the rest of its season....

Those charges came after detectives uncovered Facebook messages where the pair discussed using medication to induce an abortion and burn the fetus afterward. In early June, the mother and daughter were only charged with removing, concealing or abandoning a body—a felony—and two misdemeanors: concealing the death of another person and false reporting....

Multiple studies have researched the effects of delirium on people. These include: According to a study published in the journal General Hospital Psychiatry, the presence of delirium for hospital patients in intensive care units is associated with longer hospital stays and a higher rate of death. Another study demonstrated that delirium is connected with a greater likelihood of long term care (nursing home) placement. A third study of more than 500 people published in the journal Brain found that the risk of developing dementia after experiencing delirium was significantly greater than for those who had not suffered from delirium....

While curved TVs never really caught on, curved monitors are at the top of our wish list at home or in the office. The Dell U3419W is a 34-inch widescreen monitor that is slightly curved for easier viewing and it includes technology that lets you split it between two computers. Unlike a two-monitor setup, you aren’t looking at two monitor edges in the center of your view.

Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said that over the last four weeks, 8,000 employees have been infected with the virus, the Associated Press reported. A combination of the increased number of infected employees not being able to return to work while self-isolating and a surge in winter storms have led to more than 2,200 flight cancellations since Dec. 24. As a result, on Wednesday, Delta became the first major airline to extend expiration dates for travel credits, according to USA Today....

TMZ first reported and shared video of the Christmas Eve fight on the Delta aircraft.

Delta emerged in October 2020 in India and its high transmissibility has hindered other variants’ ability to spread. Despite the mutation’s hold over parts of the world, the World Health Organization (WHO) is tracking at least 14 other variants that emerged since Delta was discovered—and it’s likely that additional ones will develop over time. Variants occur whenever a virus is given the room to mutate. So, as long as the virus is circulating, there’s potential for new variants to emerge....

Interpreting broad public-health advice to suit your own specific circumstances often involves weighing vague notions of risk. Vaccines offer good protection, but if levels of virus circulating in the community rise, the absolute risk of getting sick rises for everybody, vaccinated and unvaccinated alike. The rise of Delta, which is far more easily transmitted from person to person than previous strains of the virus, has made going out in public riskier....

What Impact Does Dementia Have on ADLs? Alzheimer’s disease and other kinds of dementia often make performing ADLs difficult. Tasks may be done halfway, poorly or not at all. For example, while some people with dementia appear as if there’s nothing wrong with them, others look disheveled and may wear dirty, mismatching clothes. A person’s ability to perform ADLs is often evaluated when assessing their cognitive functioning. Since dementia is typically a progressive condition, the ability to perform ADLs declines over time....
