COMMENTARY: What Scripture and the saints have taught for centuries, modern science is increasingly confirming: The habits that draw us closer to God can also make us happier and healthier. What if the path to a happier, healthier and holier life has been hiding in plain sight for 2,000 years?

While the fire consumed our possessions, I found myself asking God a much deeper question: How do I move forward without allowing this tragedy to define…

Health6 sources·Updated Sep 18, 2026Postpartum mothers may experience dry, rough skin because of hormonal changes, breastfeeding-related fluid loss, disrupted sleep, and reduced time for self-care; gentle moisturizers and adequate hydration may help. Emotional challenges are also common, but persistent or worsening sadness, anxiety, irritability, sleep or appetite changes, and loss of interest may indicate postpartum depression rather than the shorter-lived “baby blues.” Evening anxiety—sometimes informally called the “postpartum sundown scaries”—can be intensified by fragmented sleep, hormonal shifts, hypervigilance, isolation, and uncertainty about nighttime infant care. Experts also emphasize that activities such as hair, nail, or other beauty rituals are legitimate…

Pierre the Chimp recovering from cataract surgery – credit, Chimp Haven, supplied After becoming completely blind from cataracts, a 54-year-old chimpanzee named Pierre is seeing again following a successful surgery at Chimp Haven, the world’s largest chimpanzee sanctuary. The procedure, the first cataract surgery performed for a resident at Chimp Haven, restored functional sight and allowed Pierre to quickly begin reconnecting with the people, chimpanzees, and activities familiar to him. As Pierre’s vision had declined, caregivers adapted his daily routines and environment to help him continue navigating as independently as possible. Staff used sound cues and specialized feeding approaches and…

by Emma Scheib “It does not do you well to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”— Albus Dumbledore Dreams and a vision for our future are wonderful things to have. They can inspire us, keep us motivated and help us to do scary things. But what happens when we don’t achieve our dreams? What happens when you wake up in the middle of your life and realize you haven’t done the things you thought or hoped you would? If you had shown me a picture, 15 years ago, of what my life would look like today, you would have…

On K-State’s campus, a green bandana is more than a fashionable accessory. It is a sign of solidarity, understanding and connection between students.  The Green Bandana Project is just one of many ways mental health awareness is promoted on campus.

Learning nail services makes much more sense once your hands are involved. You can understand shaping, gel application, sanitation, and e-file safety in theory, then sit down with a real person and realize that knowing the steps is not the same as controlling them. That gap is what a good training program should close. Anyone comparing a Nail tech school should look past polished course descriptions and ask what actually happens during class. How much time is spent practicing? Are students working on real models? Does the instructor correct technique while it is happening? Start With the Way the Program…

The tilcayo, the first new cat species discovered in 100 years – credit, Fernando Faciole, National Geographic Society / Handout In a story that proves ‘explorer’ is still a good answer to the question “what do you want to be when you grow up?” a whole new cat species has been identified for the first time in over 100 years. Found in Bolivia, the animal is smaller than the average housecat, but now enters the scientific record because of a National Geographic Explorer’s dedication to wild cats, and a willingness to step outside her field of expertise.
