The warning comes amid escalating tensions following the SSPX's announcement that it intends to ordain new bishops independently, a move that echoes the 1988 i...

How one state’s hunters are taking aim at rural hunger On the outskirts of Savannah, Georgia, a line of large chest coolers waits outside Wise Brothers Processing. Inside them, skinned deer lie packed in ice, ready to be cut into cubes, ground up, or made into sausage, depending on the customer’s order.

Some situations increase variation, leading to a higher HRV, while others cause the time intervals between beats to stay more consistent, leading to a lower HRV. While subtle, these variations reflect your h...

After Jimmie Lee Jackson was killed in nearby Marion in February, civil rights leaders talked about a protest--taking his casket from Marion to “George Wallace’s doorstep” (Alabama...
