In a clip shared on July 1, the homeowner explained that someone viewing the house had decided to take the tub for a test run. “Just got back to my house after a showing,” she said in the video. “Walk into the bathroom and there’s a spot on the floor....

It’s common knowledge that money can be a source of stress in romantic relationships. “Money is the number one thing couples fight about, especially early on,” explained clinical psychologist and Certified Financial Planner Dr. Brad Klontz, in a recent episode of Real Simple’s Money Confidential podcast. “If you’re getting married your financial life is intertwined,” he added. According to Dr. Klontz, the financial debates that arise for couples aren’t always as simple as whether to combine funds or keep them separate—rather, he explained, these are complex conflicts that require honest and involved conversations....

German Shepherds are known for their intelligence and trainability. As such, members of the breed are often used as service, guide, military, police, and drug- and bomb-detection dogs. In fact, German Shepherds are so smart that “many can learn a new behavior in only a few repetitions.” As the American Kennel Club noted, the breed also carries a “legendary desire to cooperate and work with us, a trait many see as a wish to please their humans....

So what happened in Rome? Was there really an exorcism in the Vatican performed by the Pope? According to the report I got from Rome, the woman had been having an exorcism by Father Gabrielle Amorth [the Pope’s chief exorcist] either the day before or the morning before. And then she went into the audience, for whatever reason, and when the Pope was giving the final blessing, that apparently it was too much for the demons and they erupted....

Seeing the prize-winning film, shot in 1971, it’s easy to conclude that the Yanomami are savages with hair-trigger tempers whose anger escalates to murder faster than you can pronounce their tribal name. But look carefully at the 1997 interactive CD version of “Ax Fight,” and something more ambiguous emerges. Near the end, a group of seven young Yanomami surround the two filmmakers. One Yanomami brandishes a machete and rushes the two, only to pull back at the last second....

One of the significant advantages of IM rods over other methods of fracture fixation is that IM rods share the load with the bone, rather than entirely supporting the bone. Because of this, patients are able to use the extremity more quickly. IM rods cannot be used for all fractures, and there are often associated complaints of pain and other symptoms at the site the IM rods are inserted. Otherwise, the IM rod is designed to stay inside your bone forever....

Sea lampreys naturally live in the cold ocean waters around Canada. They lead a parasitic lifestyle, latching their sucker-like mouth to cold-blooded animals like fish and sharks and feeding on their blood and other body fluids. Lampreys secrete an enzyme that prevents blood from clotting, in much the same way that leeches feed. In the Atlantic Ocean, their hosts are often large enough that they are not killed by being parasitized by a lamprey....

After two districts voted to enact mask mandates in early August, Corcoran began investigations into Alachua County Public Schools and Broward County Public Schools. On Tuesday, he released two memorandums sent to the State Board of Education in which he says it should use its “enforcement powers” against the two offending districts, saying he found “probable cause” that Alachua County and Broward County Schools “acted contrary to the law.”...

The suit, filed on behalf of investors who bought shares of Facebook stocks earlier this year, argued that Facebook’s moderators engaged in an “egregious breach of public trust” by exploiting its users to increase profits. The investors are seeking compensation for their stocks, stating that Facebook’s misrepresentative actions caused the price of the stocks to be artificially inflated. “Defendants repeatedly misrepresented to investors and the public that use of Facebook’s products does not harm children, that the Company takes aggressive and effective measures to stop the spread of harmful content, and that Facebook applies its standards of behavior equally to all users,” the legal filing said....

Because it is a safe surmise that George W. Bush will win, there is a sense in which he can’t win. He has not spent much time–much less than most of his rivals–in Iowa, so he is not apt to win as decisively as he now leads in national opinion polls. Therefore, someone, maybe several someones, will do better than “expected.” It will not be John McCain, who is passing up the straw poll....

They’re talking about the sudden ubiquity of the iPod, the cigarette-box-size digital music player (and its colorful credit-card-size little sister, the Mini) that’s smacked right into the sweet spot where a consumer product becomes something much, much more: an icon, a pet, a status indicator and an indispensable part of one’s life. To 3 million-plus owners, iPods not only give constant access to their entire collection of songs and CDs, but membership into an implicit society that’s transforming the way music will be consumed in the future....
