Snowplow parents manage their adult children's lives by performing adult tasks for them, like writing job applications, booking medical appointments, or keeping them afloat with rent money. According to the study, a whopping 74% of parents said that they have made appointments for their adult children.

In getting to know "The Oracle of Omaha," I learned something incredibly surprising: Up until the age of 20, he had a fear of public speaking. "Just the thought of it made me physically ill," the billionaire shares in his "Getting There" essay. Who would have thought that one of the most successful investors in the world once had a fear of public speaking? During Buffett's time at Columbia Business School, he saw an ad in the paper for a Dale Carnegie public speaking course for college students. "So again, I saw the ad in the paper and went down to sign up; but this time, I handed the instructor $100 in cash.

Of course, it’s subjective according to personal tastes, but this is CNN Travel’s take on some of the best food cultures and destinations around the world. United StatesAmerica knows how to take a good food -- for instance, the hamburger -- and make it even better. With influences from China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar and a royal culinary tradition, Thai cuisine is the best of many worlds. The best part about eating Thai food in Thailand, though, is the hospitality. Sun, beach, service with a smile and a plastic bag full of som tam – that’s the good life.
☆ 7 qualities in women that men find attractive, according to science

Business InsiderUnsurprisingly, (mostly male) scientists have done gobs of research trying to figure out what women want in men. But they have spent much less time uncovering the reverse: what makes women attractive to men. Let's not even get started on the dearth of research on what men find attractive in other men, or women in other women. These studies often conclude that various aspects of women's bodies make them more appealing because men think that they're more fertile — insert eye roll here. Here are seven traits that scientists have found that make women more attractive to men:

ShutterstockBe honest, straight men: You all want to know what women want. Luckily, a bunch of scientists have wondered the same thing.

And the participants are often Western college students, who are not an especially a diverse group. Here are 11 science-supported traits that women find irresistible.

Numerous accounts and scientific reports suggest that you're more prone to tell the truth under the effects of truth serum drugs, but the drugs have other side effects. Furthermore, not only are truth serum drugs not all that useful, they are illegal under certain circumstances including interrogation. ScopolamineZchanguScopolamine was first promoted by Dr. Robert House as a truth serum in the early 20th century, and was the first drug to adopt the name "truth serum." A truth serum experimentThe best way to find out if truth serum works is to experience it for yourself, which is exactly what TV journalist Michael Mosley did. To investigate sodium thiopental, one of the more popular truth serum drugs, Mosley took two different doses of the drug.

Wonder Land: After the massacres of Oct. 7, the burden is now on Israel to end the war in Gaza. Images: Reuters Composite: Mark KellyCollege students haven’t always been persuaded by Osama bin Laden ’s prose. Yet when his 2002 “Letter to America” went viral among young Americans earlier this month, I wasn’t surprised. I had assigned the document for a course on religion and politics when it first appeared. Students found it compelling as a clear and concise statement of al Qaeda’s motives, intentions and understanding of world and Middle Eastern history.
