"Feeling Depleted: Cause, Effect, and Transformation"
*"Feeling Depleted:* *Cause, Effect, and Transformation"* by Madisyn Taylor, The DailyOM "Often we go through life rundown, but the body's natural state is one of energy, clarity, and balance There are times in our lives when it seems our bodies are running on empty. We are not sick, nor are we necessarily pushing ourselves to the limit - rather, the energy we typical enjoy has mysteriously dissipated, leaving only fatigue. Many people grow accustomed to feeling this way because they do not know that it is possible to exist in any other state. The body's natural state, however, is o... more »

Will Trump Be Able To Save McConnell From Kentucky Voters In 2 Years?
Pelosi is one of the least liked politicians in America-- two caveats though: 1- her own constituents love her and showed it at the polls 2 weeks ago when 172,399 voters turned out-- more than any other district in California-- and gave her an overwhelming win against 6 challengers and 2- she's far more popular than Mitch McConnell, the most disliked elected official in America. McConnell's seat isn't up this November. It's up in 2020-- when Señor Trumpanzee is on the top of the ticket. If Pete Session in a gerrymandered Dallas district can loose his seat, as looks likely-- McConn... more »
Sweden Makes Some Tough Submarine (1 Sunk a U.S. Aircraft Carrier)
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Europe* Cheap, stealthy and deadly. For decades, submarines came in two discrete flavors: traditional diesel-electric submarines that need to surface every day or two to recharge their noisy, air-breathing diesel engines, and nuclear-powered submarines that could quietly hum along under the sea at relatively high speeds for months at a time thanks to their nuclear reactors. The downside to the nuclear-powered variety, of course, is that they cost many times the price of a comparable diesel submarines and require nuclear propulsion technology, which ... more »

Fat-Soluble “Sunshine Vitamin” May Be One of the Best Ways to Fight Colon Cancer, New Study Finds
Colon cancer is one of the top killers among diseases in the United States, taking the lives of more than 50,000 people each year, and the problem seems set to continue with global consumption of meat and processed foods still on the rise.

Tales of North Korean Abuses: No Facts, All Fiction
