Rattlesnakes are calmed by being near another snake, a new study shows. Researchers found that giving rattlesnakes a partner decreased their heart rate in stressful situations. Martin and her team arrived at this conclusion by measuring the resting heart rates of 25 wild-caught, adult rattlesnakes and comparing that to their heart rate after being startled. They found that the snakes who were alone in their enclosure had significantly higher heart rates than those that were with another snake. In nature, some rattlesnakes live alone while others live communally.

Medical debt like this is one kind of unsecured debt, which goes away if it isn't covered by the estate. My mother and I laughed bitterly as we sat together at the dinner table, in horrified awe at the absurdity of our essentially being billed for my father's death. Unsecured debts generally remain the property of the deceasedUnsecured loans include most credit card debt, student loans, personal loans, and medical bills. Handling a loved one's debts in the wake of their passing can feel daunting, and even retraumatizing. I discovered in the wake of my father's death just how bureaucratically difficult it is to make the biological fact of a loved one's death a legal one — especially regarding their debts.

Consumul zilnic al acestui aliment pe o perioadă de doi ani a redus riscul dezvoltării de boli cardiovasculare la un grup de persoane în vârstă, arată un studiu recent publicat în Journal of the American College of Cardiology. După cum au descoperit cercetătorii americani și spanioli, consumul regulat de nuci reduce riscul dezvoltării bolilor cardiovasculare, arată studiul lor publicat recent în Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Timp de doi ani, un grup de voluntari a mâncat între 30 și 60 de grame de nuci în fiecare zi. Rezultatele studiului au arătat că persoanele din primul grup au înregistrat o scădere considerabilă a biomarkerilor inflamaţiei, care au legătură cu un risc crescut de boli cardiovasculare. Deși beneficiile nucilor pentru inimă au fost deja descoperite, acest studiu a contribuit la înțelegerea acestui efect pozitiv.

In 2009, he piloted his first "Blue Zones Project" in Albert Lea, Minnesota. The goal was to reverse-engineer it into a Midwestern Blue Zone. Playa Santa Teresa, on the Nicoya peninsula in Costa Rica, is in one of Buettner's Blue Zones.
