Major blood vessel injuries in children are uncommon but often deadly when they happen. Most of these cases come from car accidents, which are the top cause of preventable harm in Europe. Treating these injuries in kids is tricky because doctors don’t have clear guidelines. Hospitals with special ki
Maine keeps raising taxes and throwing cash at problems, but the state still struggles with high costs. Over the last few years, spending jumped from $7. 2 billion to over $12 billion. That’s a massive jump, but most people aren’t feeling the benefits. Instead of cutting waste or helping regular fam
May 19 isn’t just any day—it’s packed with birthdays that span music, sports, comedy, and activism. Among the most recognizable names are Grace Jones, who turns 75 this year.

Mark Cuban’s recent visit to Carnegie Mellon wasn’t just about nostalgia—it was a clear message about where the next big tech wave is heading.

May 18 seems like a normal spring day, but it’s actually a date that links royalty, music, comedy, and film. A future monarch, Nicholas II, was born in 1868 into a world where emperors still ruled most of Europe, but his life ended in a cellar during a revolution. Meanwhile, Frank Capra was already
