Good things may come to those who ache. According to Time, the American Association for the Study of Headache hasn't come up with a breakthrough cure for headaches, but researchers are making progress in finding out what causes headaches and how to better treat them. Also coming to light is the fact that migraines seem to run in families and that headaches and sex hormones are somehow linked, especially in women. Doctors at the University of Florida's veterinary hospital and dental college routinely collaborate to provide root canals, periodontal surgery and endodontics to pets in pain. This is the philosophy behind Safe Sitter, Inc., an organization that trains teenage babysitters.
Recycling can be a sticky business.
The adhesives on Post-It notes, postage stamps, labels and tape are causing all sorts of problems at recycling plants, according to USA Today. They gum up the machines, cause black dots to speckle the recycled paper, and weaken the paper, causing it to tear easily. Because of the stickies, as they are called in the paper industry, only about 35 percent of stationery, envelopes and junk mail are recycled, and 52 million tons of otherwise-recyclable paper ends up in the landfills. You may begin to notice something fishy going on in your soups, salad dressings and cheeses.
