just now (640+ words) Jeremy Corbyn faced a blow on Sunday as his new party voted in favour of collective leadership at their inaugural conference. As part of the party's first conference in Liverpool, members were able to vote on party issues, including the party name and leadership style. This gave members the option to have a single elected leader - in this case, Jeremy Corbyn - or to have a collective leadership model which would put a committee of members in charge. The results came in, and they were close, but ultimately, members voted for a committee to run the party. The new model was supported by 51.6% of over 9,000 members who voted, marking a setback for the former Labour leader. Zarah Sultana, who had been vocal in her support for co-leadership, had been blocked from consideration by other party members. When the result came in,…...

just now (459+ words) Why did it look so much better on the retail store's floor than in my living room?" You're not the only person to have thought that after unboxing a new TV at home. That's because stores jack up the brightness on demonstration TVs to ludicrous levels to catch your attention and draw you over. It's an attention-getter, but it's not the best way to watch your shows, movies, and documentaries. We're not all that different from the chimpanzee mesmerized by a foil pinwheel or a cat who chases after a set of jangling keys. Humans are animals, and more specifically, the kinds of animals who like shiny, bright things. Those retailers selling TVs on their shop floors know this, and all those TVs are sitting in the presence of many other competing, bright, shiny displays under eye-meltingly vivid fluorescent lights....

just now (247+ words) TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - As Alzheimer's Awareness Month comes to an end, Florida State University researchers are continuing efforts to better understand the disease and shape the future of prevention and treatment. Nearly 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's, and one in three seniors dies from Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, according to the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research Foundation. FSU researchers are examining the psychological and social factors that increase a person's risk for Alzheimer's, as well as what helps people stay resilient throughout the course of the disease. Associate Professor Aaron Wilber says the long-term goal is to establish effective preventive care.

1+ min ago (394+ words) What a Sunday morning it's been around the SEC " we have four (!!) head coaching decisions this morning as the dominos have finally fallen following Lane Kiffin's decision to head to LSU. Kiffin chose LSU over Ole Miss which suddenly has become messy as he reportedly wants to coach in the playoff. He's apparently threatening to take his entire offensive staff with him to Baton Rouge if Ole Miss won't let him. What a mess that's become. Kiffin's final decision finally got the carousel spinning. Florida went all in on the Kiffin sweepstakes and got burned, forced to move down the board. Eli Drinkwitz and Clark Lea received extensions after being linked to the job, so Florida settles here for Tulane head coach John Sumrall. Sumrall seemed to be the backup plan for both LSU and Florida should they not land…...
