We live in a loud and distracting world, where silence is increasingly difficult to come by — and that may be negatively affecting our health.
In fact, a 2011 World Health Organization report called noise pollution a “modern plague,” concluding that “there is overwhelming evidence that exposure to environmental noise has adverse effects on the health of the population.”
We’re constantly filling our ears with music, TV and radio news, podcasts and, of course, the multitude of sounds that we create nonstop in our own heads. Think about it: How many moments each day do you spend in total silence? The answer is probably very few.

Everyone’s #BestSchoolDay is different. Before Blake Mycoskie became the founder and Chief Shoegiver of TOMS, his #BestSchoolDay was reciting the Emancipation Proclamation dressed as Abraham Lincoln. Actress and comedian Yvette Nicole Brown remembers the time her third-grade teacher returned from Africa and taught the class Swahili. Twitter co-founder Biz Stone won the “Bicycle Safety Essay Contest” on his #BestSchoolDay. For Samuel L. Jackson and Russell Simmons, every day of high school was a #BestSchoolDay —for Jackson, because he walked to school with the same group of friends, and for Simmons, because he was bussed to a different community that gave him greater opportunity.
Too many students, however, don’t have the classroom resources they need to realize their passions and unlock their potential. Students can’t dream big when classrooms lack books, microscopes, and robotics kits —or even paper, pencils, and paste.
That’s why more than 50 actors, athletes, entrepreneurs and philanthropists are stepping up to provide a boost to those students and their teachers. They’ve created a philanthropic flash mob to make classroom dreams come true across America.

Ever dreamed of moving about the world invisible to onlookers? Scientists at Iowa State University have come up with a technology that could bring about the invisibility cloak of the future.
In a new paper, scientists illustrate how a stretchy fabric can hide its wearer from radar detection. The technology is called “meta-skin” and uses a metal alloy called galinstan that’s liquid at room temperature. The galinstan is put into electric resonators which act as a liquid wire within a silicone fabric. To shield specific frequencies, scientists had to pull and stretch the cloth until it’s properly “tuned.” When wrapped around a surface, the material can conceal the object’s electromagnetic waves from radar detectors. An Iowa State University statement indicated that its researchers demonstrated 75 percent of radar waves running at a 8 to 10 gigahertz frequency were blocked during tests.

While there were initial rumors that she would be retiring from tennis with a press conference Monday afternoon, No. 7 singles-ranked Maria Sharapova announced she had failed a drug test at the Australian Open. The tennis star said in the press conference that she tested positive for meldonium — an anti-ischemic drug.
According to Yahoo Sports, Sharapova was informed that she had failed the test by the International Tennis Federation a few days prior. “I don’t want to end my career this way,” Sharapova told reporters in the press conference, according to Yahoo Sports. “I really hope I will be given another chance to play this game.”
The drug was recently added to the banned substances list by the World Anti-Doping Agency effective in January. Sharapova, 28, has been the highest paid female athlete for 11 consecutive years.

If you’re a night owl who loves stargazing, 2016 is going to be a busy year for you. This year is packed full of remarkable sights — including three supermoons, two eclipses, and dozens of meteor showers. Some of them you’ll need a telescope or binoculars to see, but many are visible with your naked eye alone.

Audiences at screenings around the world, and some even in the United States, have been cheering and applauding a macabre scene in a new film by Sacha Baron Cohen in which “Donald Trump” accidentally contracts HIV.
“The Brothers Grimsby” opens March 11 in the U.S., though chances are you’re learning that for the first time here, given a decision by Sony Pictures to limit its marketing of the satiric comedy. The studio is concerned about the reaction from the real Donald Trump, according to industry sources familiar with the situation.
At the film’s world premiere in London last week, the Daily Telegraph reported that the Trump moment was met with “loud cheering.” The Metro newspaper called it a “massive cheer.” A viewer at a different screening tweeted, “Went to watch Grimsby and the whole cinema clapped when Donald Trump got given AIDS in it.”

The human body is a many-splendored thing, capable of both the majestic and the somewhat scary. Neither the uterus nor the vagina is exempt from that statement; in fact, both are the basis of some of the most bizarre, surprising and generally neat anatomical facts on the internet.
Take, for example, the p. Get a good grip on your socks, or else these four fantastic facts might knock them straight off.

Former first lady Nancy Reagan died Sunday at the age of 94.
The news was first reported by the website TMZ, citing a “close family member,” and confirmed by a spokeswoman. The Reagan Library said in a statement that the cause of death was “congestive heart failure.”
The widow of former President Ronald Reagan had been hospitalized in October 2014 with a fractured pelvis.
She served as first lady from 1981 to 1989 and was known for her work in combating youth drug abuse through the “Just Say No” campaign.

In an effort to reduce income inequality and support middle-class workers, President Obama has proposed a new rule that would change how salaried workers are paid. Under this new rule, employers would be required to pay time-and-a-half to salaried workers who clock more than 40 hours per week. However, this would only apply to those who make less than $50,440 a year. This is a sizeable jump from current rules which require overtime pay for those making less than around $23,660 per year.
This new rule is similar to legislation bounced around Congress for several years now. There is great debate about whether it would help or hurt around 5 million workers. According to Labor Secretary Thomas Perez, the new rule could affect pay by $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion. There is question as to where this funding would come from, though. If employers are required to pay employees more, adjustments have to be made somewhere.
The rule raises concern that employers would be forced to start cutting back hours or even entire positions so that employees don’t have overtime. In turn, this could have a negative rather than positive effect on the economy. Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry told The Hill that he believes “government shouldn’t be in the business of mandating how much employers pay, or the level of benefits they provide.”

From Michigan to Louisiana to California on Friday, rank-and-file Republicans expressed mystification, dismissal and contempt over the instructions that their party’s most high-profile leaders were urgently handing down to them: Reject and defeat Donald J. Trump.
Their angry reactions, in the 24 hours since Mitt Romney and John McCain urged millions of voters to cooperate in a grand strategy to undermine Mr. Trump’s candidacy, have captured the seemingly inexorable force of a movement that still puzzles the Republican elite and now threatens to unravel the party they hold dear.
In interviews, even lifelong Republicans who cast a ballot for Mr. Romney four years ago rebelled against his message and plan. “I personally am disgusted by it — I think it’s disgraceful,” said Lola Butler, 71, a retiree from Mandeville, La., who voted for Mr. Romney in 2012. “You’re telling me who to vote for and who not to vote for? Please.”
