Confusion over what expiration dates mean causes Americans to throw out tons of food that might still be perfectly good. Every day the average American throws out nearly a pound of food, according to a study from the Department of Agriculture. There are plenty of reasons why good, usable food is tossed: picky kids, overstocked pantries, […]
Parents may be hurting their kids by loving their iPhones too much, a new study suggests. Researchers found that behavior problems in children, such as oversensitivity, hot tempers, hyperactivity, and whining were associated with parents who, even infrequently, interrupted family time to mess with their smartphones and tablets.

We all know that getting the kids out into the sunshine is good for them. It’s summer and we’re having a bout of beautiful weather which means our children will definitely want to be out feeling those rays. But it goes without saying, that delicate Irish skin (skin that burns in the sun, freckles and is […]
They might be small, but these mussels shoulder tremendous responsibility. Clean drinking water, like democracy, is one of those things you tend to take for granted until it runs out or becomes polluted. But just like democracy, securing it takes a lot of work and constant oversight. In Poznań, a city in the western stretches […]
Behold the Infinity Train. It’s simple, yet brilliant. The race to decarbonize all industries is on. Australian mining company Fortescue and Fortescue Future Industries, which has acquired U.K.-based Williams Advanced Engineering, are joining forces to develop the world’s first Infinity Train: a battery-electric vehicle designed to transport loads of iron ore without ever needing to be charged. How does it […]

AS PEOPLE IN THE U.S. prepare to set their clocks ahead one hour on Sunday, March 10, 2024, I find myself bracing for the annual ritual of media stories about the disruptions to daily routines caused by switching from standard time to daylight […]
The duo we didn’t know we needed. Robert Downey Jr enjoyed dinner at one of London’s most exclusive establishments this week – the home of actor-turned-foodie Stanley Tucci.
