Even for a cynical sod like me, Arlington National Cemetery is a place that hushes the mind. Rarely do I go to Washington when I don't stop by the gentle hillside beneath the mansion that once belonged to the traitor, R.E. Lee and visit the Kennedy plot. What is most moving to me is not the eternal flame, although that's a lovely touch, or the elaborate semi-plaza dedicated to the slain president, but the resting place of his slain brother, the senator from New York, buried there like a Franciscan beneath a simple white wooden cross, and also the markers memorializing the late president's children who died at birth, or not long after it—the stillborn daughter, informally named Arabella by her mother, and young Patrick, who lived only 39 days and died three months before his father did in 1963. |

Everything about Liam Gallagher is suddenly hot news. As announced last week, the famously opinionated Mancunian Brit-pop tearaway will heal a famous 15-year rift with his brother Noel and go back on tour with Oasis in 2025. In the UK and around the world, news of an end to the most notorious sibling rivalry since records began is driving a positive meme storm as fans adjust to the new and unfamiliar reality. Gallagher may have softened a bit since the '90s, when Oasis was the defining—and defiant—voice of the decade. But one thing he hasn't softened on is his love for Stone Island, the Italian brand that has been part and parcel of Britain's urban DNA since the mid-1980s. |

Lost for more than a century and smuggled across Europe, The Gospel of Evil became one of the most valuable manuscripts in the world when Lhéritier purchased it for seven million euros ($10 million) in March 2014—a year that happened to mark the bicentennial of Sade's death, as well as the final stage of his two-century-long reevaluation. An exhibition in Aristophil's offices was timed to coincide with a nationwide series of events that would culminate in December. Lhéritier, a somewhat stout and diminutive man with thinning gray hair in a well-tailored suit and tie, was with a few employees discussing a recent reception he had attended at the residence of then president François Hollande when his assistant rushed in to inform him that the police were downstairs. Dozens of other agents were simultaneously raiding Aristophil's museum, the offices of several Aristophil associates, and Lhéritier's villa in Nice. While the officers seized company documents, financial records, and computer hard drives as potential evidence, the French courts froze his business and personal bank accounts. |

Periods are normal, but kids pointing them out in their sketches is something else. Australian woman Penny Rohleder shared a photo of her son's drawing on the Facebook page of blogger Constance Hall on Jul. 25, which well, says it all. SEE ALSO: James Corden tests out gymnastics class for his son and is instantly showed up by children "I don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed that my 5 year old son knows this," Rohleder wrote. "Julian drew a family portrait. I said 'What's that red bit on me?' And he replied, real casual, 'That's your period.'" Well, at least he knows. To give further context, Rohleder revealed she had pulmonary embolism in October 2016, and was put on blood thinning treatment which makes her periods "very, very bad," she explained to the Daily Mail .

For centuries , humans have used fish oils, orally or topically, to treat a wide array of ailments, from aches and pains to rickets and gout. The popularity of this supplement has shifted over the years, as have its primary uses. But over the past couple of decades, the hype around fish oil has arguably reached an all-time high. According to National Institutes of Health statistics , in 2012, at least 18.8 million Americans used about $1.3 billion dollars worth of fish oil, making it the third most widely used supplement in the nation. (Sales reportedly flattened out at about that level around 2013.) Today, many use it because they believe it will broadly help their heart health , but others hold that fish oil can help with renal health, bone, and joint conditions, cognitive functions and mental wellness, and any number of other conditions. But is fish oil really as good for you as millions of Americans believe it is? Who should be taking it and when? We dove into the research and ...
