Two wonderful new novels underscore this, allowing anxious readers to travel vicariously to simpler times.

And FERRIS (Candlewick, 240 pp., $18.99, ages 8 to 12) is full of love, if not tremendously busy with plot. When Charisse discovers that the resident ghost needs the home’s chandelier lit to win back her spectral husband, she enlists Ferris to help.

☆ South Africa to investigate US allegation of arms shipment to Russia

The U.S. ambassador to South Africa Reuben Brigety said on May 11 that he was confident that a Russian ship, which docked at a naval base in Simonstown in the Western Cape in December last year, took aboard weapons from South Africa. An allegation South Africa has since denied. The allegations have caused a diplomatic row between the U.S., South Africa and Russia and called into question South Africa's non-aligned position on the Ukraine conflict. South Africa says it is impartial and has abstained from voting on U.N. resolutions on the war. "The President decided to establish the enquiry because of the seriousness of the allegations, the extent of public interest and the impact of this matter on South Africa's international relations," said the statement.

Ashley Tisdale sang and acted her way into being a household name with several iconic Disney roles. Tisdale said her favorite childhood memory was working, at 8 years old — and she knows it's weird. In a recent interview with Elle, Tisdale reflected on her Disney days and her early life as a child-actor. When asked about her favorite childhood memory, she said her happiest time was working as a kid. She's since realized that going on tour to work at such an early age, though she "absolutely loved" it, probably isn't the most normal favorite childhood memory.

☆ How a Dreaded Holiday Tradition Turned Into the Best One

Elegant setting and gorgeous music notwithstanding, I started dreading the next year’s concert as soon as the first one ended. Of course I forgave the person who compiled the program; I hadn’t taken leave of all the pillars of Catholicism (just the guilt). Every time my mom left my house, she made sure I knew where to sit and how impossible it would be to park. We no longer need a babysitter, but we’re grateful for all the years she showed up with homemade meatballs. When they hit adolescence, she celebrated their independence, accepted their prickliness and embraced everything about them except their “godforsaken music.”

☆ Forget what you learned in school — the brain might not work in 'regions' after all

NetflixWhite matter ruling how we think and feelBrains are made up of two types of material: white matter and gray matter. The new model from Forkel and her colleagues changes that, giving white matter a much bigger role. One example of how white matter connects unexpected regions of the brain is the incredible injury of a railway worker 150 years ago. White matter may organize the regionsIt's also possible that it is the white matter that directs which region does what in the gray matter, rather than the other way around. This analysis suggests that these studies will have to be rethought to look at the brain as a whole.
