Words of reassurance left for an elderly lady with dementia by her daughter. A simple white board left in her sight line in her sitting room. Helped to reduce constant anxious phone calls.

"Your meals are paid for.
You're okay.
Everyone's fine.
You are not moving .
No one else is moving.
Keep drinking, it will help your memory.
You don't owe anyone any money.
You haven't upset anyone."

A gene that causes obesity is paradoxically linked to a reduced risk of having heart disease and high cholesterol, according to an analysis of thousands of people with obesity.

This gene causes obesity — and shields against heart disease

People with certain forms of the MC4R gene have lower cholesterol levels than do other individuals with a high body-mass index.

There’s a young man a few seats over who reminds me so strongly of my son that I am fighting an urge to go hug him. In between laughing at my stain.

This All Hallow's Eve, should enterprising ragamuffins exhaust our supply of sweetmeats, lice combs, and figs, I have instructed my butler to treat the filthy little cherubs to a reading of The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. O what a contrivance of terror and delight!
