Body Imaging

These images are routine in modem medicine, but at the start of the century none of them was attainable because, with one exception–X-rays–the technologies did not exist. If we think of the inside of the living body as a planet awaiting exploration, the area mapped in 1901 was akin to the geography of Cape Cod. The rest of the human planet awaited surveyors. X-rays, discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Roentgen, were still a novelty in 1901 when President William McKinley, standing before a crowd at the Pan American Exhibition in Buffalo, N....

Boebert Wrongly Claims Gatling Guns Existed When Second Amendment Written

The statement in question was made during an appearance on a show called Capitol Report. In a clip shared on Twitter by PatriotTakes, a group dedicated to following and researching right-wing extremism, the Colorado Republican attempted to confront comments made by President Joe Biden about people not being able to purchase something as powerful as a cannon when the Second Amendment was written. “There were Gatling guns,” the GOP lawmaker said during the interview, after urging people to know their history....

Boeing 737 Sized Asteroid To Pass As Close To Earth As The Moon

On August 16, the asteroid 2022 PW will pass at a distance of 1.4 LD (Lunar Distance). One LD is how far away the Moon is from the Earth. According to NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), 2022 PW is traveling at a speed of around 7.5 km/s (about 17,000 mph) and is between 75 and 100 feet across, making it roughly the size of a Boeing 737-500, or a blue whale....

Boise State S Trip To Kentucky Turns Into Bus Marathon

Inclement weather forced cancellation of Boise’s flight from Chicago to Lexington, the Idaho Statesman reported, and after exploring other flights, the team decided to bus it. “It won’t have any affect on the game,” senior guard Thomas Bropleh told the Statesman while on the bus. “Our coaches will have us ready. We won’t be hurting from this.” So nearly 20 hours of travel was needed to get from Boise to Lexington....

Book Review The Woman Who Can T Forget

Oddly, in this era of luridly factitious memoirs, Price’s comes with unimpeachable credentials. She first came to public attention in 2006 as “AJ,” the pseudonymous subject of a paper in the journal Neurocase entitled “A Case of Unusual Autobiographical Remembering.” The lead author, James L. McGaugh, a professor of neurobiology at the University of California, Irvine, spent five years bombarding Price with psychological, neurological and physiological tests to investigate what was going on inside her otherwise quite ordinary mind....

Books Great Expectations No Satisfaction

Conroy’s characters are well-worn stencils, like the sexy, snooty rich girl (Estella meets Daisy Buchanan) and the gluttonous Italian violin virtuoso (Paganini meets Zorba meets the cartoon chef on a pizza box), surrounding a cipher: Claude himself. Despite his upbringing (no father, loony cab-driving mother), Claude has no eccentricities; his rise occasions none of the guilty snobbism that gives Dickens’s Pip esthetic interest. Claude’s fairy-godfather mentors never turn weird, he never blows a big audition, he gets women into bed with no problems except for the embarrassingly rhapsodic prose in the sex scenes....

Books Remembering Poet Liam Rector

Here’s the now-notorious example: the poem his friends immediately set in motion around the Internet after he killed himself last month, at the age of 57. With his grandfather’s shotgun, he did his terrible best to make sure it would become an anthology piece for as long as they put together anthologies. Why didn’t everyone who knew him recognize that “you” as “I”? Maybe they all did, and maybe I was willfully naive....

Borderline Madness

The jarring uncertainty of that “or not” and the rat-a-tat-tat, connect-the-dots, present-tense prose are the hard-boiled tattoos that mark–and sometimes disfigure–Charles Bowden’s “Down by the River.” Bowden, whose work on this book resulted in at least one contract on his head (or not), is superb at capturing the gauzy, surreally violent nature of the drug trade. And, with the war on terror eclipsing the war on drugs as this country’s leading rhetorical battleground, Bowden’s book is all the more vital as a reminder of the failure and the hypocrisy of many of America’s drug policies....

Boris Johnson Asked To Explain Additional 10 000 Deaths In Care Homes By Keir Starmer

During Prime Minister’s Questions, the Labour leader focused on the COVID-19 pandemic in care homes, where he cited Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures, which showed that “at least 40 percent of all deaths from COVID-19 were in care homes”, asking if the government had been too slow to protect care homes. Starmer quoted what he said was government advice on March 12, which said: “It remains very unlikely that people receiving care in a care home will become infected....

Boston Marathon Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev S Supreme Court Case May Help Derek Chauvin

In United States v. Tsarnaev, the nation’s highest court will be asked whether the First Circuit Court of appeals was right to overturn Tsarnaev’s death sentence for the 2013 bombing that killed three and injured more than 260. The case centers on two factors in the federal district court that convicted Tsarnaev: questions about pretrial publicity during the jury selection process, and if the court erred in excluding evidence at the sentencing phase that Tsarnaev’s brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was involved in a separate triple murder....
