    [h=3]10 Strange Little-Known Facts About JonBenet Ramsey's Family[/h] On the night after Christmas 1996, six-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey was beaten in the head, strangled, and possibly sexually assaulted. Her lifeless body was left on the basement floor of her home. Since JonBenet’s death, her family has been entangled in controversy. Depending on whom you believe, John and Patsy Ramsey are killers who murdered their child, liars who covered up a murder by their son, Burke, or innocent people plagued by unjust accusations. Few have delved into who the Ramsey family really is-and what they did before and after JonBenet’s death. Tidbits from their lives cast suspicion everywhere-and might hold the key to cracking the case. 10 John Ramsey Had Another Daughter

[h=3]Robin Williams suffered from a common form of dementia that many people don’t know about[/h] Susan Schneider Williams, the late wife of comedian and actor Robin Williams, has penned a harrowing account of how her husband suffered from Lewy body disease (LBD), a form of dementia, prior to his suicide in August 2014. Writing in the journal Neurology, Schneider Williams likened the disease to a “terrorist” inside her husband’s brain. Her husband had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease after battling a multitude of symptoms, including paranoia, delusions, insomnia, tremors, and memory problems. It was only in the coroner’s report that the correct diagnosis-and the severity of it-became apparent. “The mere fact that something had invaded nearly every region of my husband’s brain made

The animal that is also known as a "forest giraffe" was due to be born in approximately two months.

The guidelines haven’t changed much in recent years, but the TSA now has some useful tools for travelers to figure it all out. The TSA breaks down objects into three categories, items that: Can be carried on board, for example in carry-on luggage. Can’t be carried on board but can travel in checked luggage. Are not allowed on planes at all. Knowing before you go can save you time, hassle and potentially replacement cost. The TSA has published this handy guide on its website,

    [h=3]Maternal and paternal age linked to child’s risk for developing autism or schizophrenia[/h] A new study published in Evolution, Medicine, and Public Health indicates that parents who reproduce later in life are more likely to have children who develop autism disorders. Later reproduction was not, however, associated with increased risk for schizophrenia in offspring. Multiple studies on this subject for over 30 years have found that risk patterns for these disorders are highly variable and often remain incomparable between public health studies due to substantial differences in study design. Now researchers from the Copenhagen Centre for Social Evolution have analyzed a massive single population sample from Denmark to compare risks based on maternal and paternal age, and parental age difference.

    [h=3]Facing a Silent Liver Disease Epidemic[/h] Marked by the accumulation of an unhealthy amount of fat and scar tissue in the liver, NASH is quietly reaching epidemic proportions across the globe. By 2020, NASH is projected to overtake hepatitis C as the leading cause of liver transplants in the U.S. The disease is poised to win that dubious honor because an alarming rise in obesity and type-2 diabetes-key risk factors for NASH-is coinciding with far better treatments for hepatitis C. Despite NASH’s prevalence, its obscurity isn’t surprising: It doesn’t cause obvious symptoms in most people, there’s no simple test to detect it, and no drugs have been approved to treat it. NASH drugs could bring in as much as $8 billion annually-a figure that is grabbing the attention of companies both big and small.

[h=3]Hydrogen sulfide inhalation killed mother, toddler found on Florida's Turnpike in June[/h] A woman and her three-year-old daughter, found dead in their still-running SUV on Florida's Turnpike in June, died after inhaling hydrogen sulfide, the medical examiner's office has ruled. The pungent, colorless gas may have come from the car battery in the Porsche Cayenne SUV, though officials will need to do more tests to know for sure, said Carrie Proudfit, a spokeswoman for the Orange-Osceola Medical Examiner's Office. Latifa Lincoln, 46, and Maksmilla Lincoln, 3, were found dead on June 2, after the SUV bumped into a guardrail on Florida's Turnpike and came to a full stop north of mile marker 224 in Osceola County.

[h=3]A teen died after a 68-day religious fast in India. Are her parents to blame?[/h] The 13-year-old girl in the southern Indian city of Secunderabad was unusually devout, her relatives said. Even in her younger years, Aradhana Samdhariya was known to undertake strict fasts from time to time to embrace her Jain faith. Fasting is not uncommon for Jains, a centuries-old religious sect in India that embraces non-violence as its chief tenet. Jains practice strict vegetarianism and barefoot, white-robed Jain monks carry a small brush to swipe in front of them as they walk -- lest they inadvertently kill a small creature. Even among the faithful, Aradhana’s ritual was extreme, however. She died Oct. 3, not long after completing a 68-day religious fast allegedly supported by her parents,

    [h=3]Chinese authorities hunt for 50 cobras after mass escape[/h] Authorities in eastern China are searching for about 50 highly poisonous snakes after a mass escape from an unlicensed breeding farm. About 200 monocled baby cobras escaped from the farm in Nanjing in August. So far about 150 of them have been caught or killed. The snakelets are around 20cm (7in) in length according to Liuhe district authorities, state media Xinhua said. Snake parts are used in a variety of traditional Chinese medicines. Monocled cobras are highly poisonous and their venom can prove fatal if not treated. However, the baby snakes' venom is less toxic than mature snakes. A total of 1,820 monocled cobra eggs were first brought to the Chunyi livestock farm in August, of which 1,500
