NEW YORK — For the first time, women in their early 30s are having more babies than younger moms in the United States. Health experts say the shift is due to more women waiting longer to have children and the ongoing drop in the teen birth rate. For more than three decades, women in their late 20s had the highest birth rates, but that changed last year, according to preliminary data released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The birth rate for women ages 30 to 34 was about 103 per 100,000; the rate for women ages 25 to 29 was 102 per 100,000. The CDC did not release the actual numbers of deliveries for each age group. It’s be…

A college pizza delivery boy arrived at the house of Mr.Smith. He delivered the pizza to his trailer. After giving it to him, Mr. Smith asked: "What is the usual tip?" "Well," replied the youth, "this is my first trip here, but the other guys say if I get a quarter out of you, I'll be doing great." "Is that so?" snorted Mr. Smith. "Well, just to show them how wrong they are, here's five dollars." "Thanks," replied the youth, "I'll put this in my school fund." "What are you studying in school?" asked Larry. The lad smiled and said: "Applied psychology."

We have some shocking news from Yemen. This morning around 8.30 am Al-Qaeda/IS entered the Mother Theresa’s convent in Aden and killed 9 people including four MC Sisters. Presently we have no information about the whereabouts of Fr. Tom Uzhunnanil SDB, who too was in Aden when the incident took place. Seemingly they have taken him along, but this is still to be confirmed. We had a call from Fr. M.K. George SDB, who is currently in Hodeidah. We are trying to establish the facts from various sources. Its a salesian mission and MC sisters place. The Salesian missionaries and the sisters are from India. Kindly pray for them.

A disturbing new report from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and MergerWatch, “Health Care Denied,” finds that 1 in 6 hospitals in the U.S. are operated in accordance with Catholic religious rules, known as the Ethical and Religious Directives (ERDs). While perhaps best known for prohibiting abortion, the restrictions go far beyond that, and impact more than reproductive health. For women, the impact can be deadly. Abortions are prohibited even if the fetus has no chance of survival and the mother’s life is in danger. Savita Halappanavar died of sepsis in Ireland because her physicians would neither terminate her doomed pregnancy to save her life,…

Light always travels at the speed of light. It never increases or decreases its speed. (Technically, this is only true when the light is in vacuum, but the air in a room where the light is turned on is sufficiently close to a vacuum.) You're thinking about light as a classical particle, which indeed has to start from rest if it wants to move. Instead, think of light as a vibration of the electromagnetic field. There is a simple analogy for this - without any quantum mechanics or relativity, just classical mechanics. Consider a string attached to a wall on one side and held by you on the other side. If you vibrate the string on your side, the vibration will propag…

What goes around, comes around, eventually. The latest karmic zinger is how likely you now are to find plastic particles, from packaging you might have once used, in your sea salt. Each year, humans dump 13 million metric tons of plastic into the ocean. Some of that plastic begins its life as tiny particles, such as microbeads in face scrubs and toothpaste; others as larger pieces that get broken down through mechanical or chemical means. Estimates vary, but there’s no doubt the amount of plastic now in the oceans is substantial: one 2014 study found that there are more than 5 trillion plastic pieces sharing the seas with marine life, 92% of which are microplastics l…

(CNN)The Finnish government has set an ambitious goal for residents in a bid to benefit their health -- and their bank balances. Officials plan to make the country tobacco-free by 2040, meaning they want less than 2% of their adults to consume tobacco -- in any form -- by that deadline. So that's more than 98% of the Finnish population saying no to cigarettes, snuff and other forms of smokeless tobacco, cigars, pipes and even e-cigarettes. As per the trend in industralized countries, smoking rates in Finland have been on the decline in recent decades due to measures such as bans on advertising and shop displays, and the creation of smoke-free public spaces.…

Netflix is raising prices on its subscription service for the first time since 2015. Investors asked “what took so long?” sending its stock up 5% to a record high of $193.86—a much warmer response than when it jacked up prices 60% in 2011 and lost 800,000 U.S. subscribers. Here are the brand new monthly bundles: $7.99 for low definition on one device at a time—no change $10.99 for HD on up to two devices at a time–up $1. $13.99 for 4K access on up to four devices at a time–up $2. Despite the bump, Netflix’s 104 million subscribers shouldn’t fly the coop. The streaming provider is still cheaper than HBO’s ($14.99) and Hulu’s ($11.99) similar of…
