Tom is getting a brand new knee and he’s really jazzed! Look, as you age, the types of things you get excited about change. He will be capable of moving around more freely and will have less pain with his new knee. So the operation is a success and Tom goes home. But that’s not […]
You’ve probably noted that when movies or television shows get really intense, they start using close-ups (perhaps even extreme close-ups). This is because more information than you’re likely even consciously aware of is conveyed by the human face. To say that humans are very facially focused is, well, not a stretch. So it’s not surprising […]
It’s hard to be separated from your hearing aid once you get accustomed to having one. Your hearing aids are, after all, your connection to the world around you.

Symptoms and manifestations are due to many different issues – loud noises, genetics, age, ear blockages – but as long […]
Have you ever awoke after a night’s sleep and heard birds singing a beautiful song through your open window? So happens, there’s a name for all those birdsongs: the dawn chorus. Birds see the sunrise and, for some reason, decide it’s time to belt out their favorite melody. Each species has its own set of […]
If you’re not very wealthy, a car really isn’t an impulse purchase. Which means you will most likely do a lot of research first. You look at reviews, you assess prices, and you evaluate gas mileage.

Diplacusis was so big, due to its long tail and neck, that no other predators were a threat. Actually, the long-necked dinosaur from the Jurassic Period is known as Diplodocus.
