Spicy lentil soup Modified from Half Baked HarvestI try to fit in one or two basic easy meatless recipes a week with an emphasis on beans and lentils. This is a…
It is common for a family member’s passion or career to be passed down to the next generation. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a third generation professional wrestler and his oldest daughter is currently a member of WWE’s NXT brand. In bodybuilding, there are several second-generation stars such as Hunter Labrada, son of the great Lee Labrada, and Sergio Oliva Jr., whose father was a three-time Mr. Olympia. Kailee Fessock has all of the above beats. Her family tradition of law enforcement goes back to her great-great-grandfather. A fifth-generation police officer, he currently serves as a school resource officer in…

“I definitely don’t watch the news anymore,” one patient told me when I asked about her consumption of political news in the weeks leading up to the 2024 US presidential election. This conversation happened at the time I spoke to a local TV channel about why we saw fewer signs of court politics during this year’s pre-election period, compared to previous ones. I’m a psychiatrist which studies and treats fear and anxiety. One of my main mental health recommendations to my patients during the 2016 and 2020 election cycles was to reduce their consumption of political news. I also tried…

Aafter it is over Run the Barbados Marathon last December, I found myself at a crossroads with running. In my post-race stupor, I wasn’t sure what my running goals were. I bought myself a Garmin Forerunner 265S ($450) as a reward, a post-run treat of sorts, but ironically, my training became inconsistent. I tied my shoes now and then, but not forgetting how to run rather than pursuing real progress. Adding to the challenge, 2023 turned into a whirlwind of travel. I went from country to country, and through it all, I walked it Camino de Santiago a month and…

This discrepancy between gender and gender identity can cause significant psychological distress in a transgender person, which is known as gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria can lead…
