Surveys show that taste, quality, environmental concerns and perceived health and safety benefits all influence consumers’ decisions to buy organic food. But less is known about how people interpret “organic” and incorporate it into their everyday lives. Drawing on videos…

What’s the link between ADHD medication and psychosis?

This year, several alarming reports have warned that Australians are developing psychosis from using stimulant medications, typically prescribed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. Psychosis itself is not a diagnosis; it’s a mental health symptom that involves having difficulty separating what is real from what is not.

Was a kinder fate possible for Marineland’s animals? How the planning process failed them

Peekachu, Rain, Osiris, Caspian, Jellybean and Cyprus are dead. They were six of the 30 beluga whales removed from Marineland in Niagara Falls earlier this year. Echo is dead too. She was one of the four dolphins who were also removed around the same time. For all intents and purposes, she was blind.

A neighborhood café has become a popular remote workplace. Some guests buy one drink and occupy tables for hours, while families and friends regularly leave because they cannot sit together.

These Deerfield Area Restaurants Are Open On Thanksgiving Day 2026

Skip the cooking with local dine-in options, or order a holiday meal to serve at home. Thanksgiving falls on Nov. 26. DEERFIELD, IL — Many independent restaurants around the Chicago area will be closed Thursday, Nov. 26, for Thanksgiving. But some local and regional favorites are taking reservations, giving Deerfield residents a chance to gather around a different table this year. The appeal isn't hard to understand. Hosting Thanksgiving can mean days of shopping and preparation for a meal that disappears remarkably fast. Dining out leaves more time for visiting, with no refrigerator puzzle to solve afterward. It also makes room for a holiday that doesn’t look the same for everyone. Some people are celebrating with a partner or a few friends. Others are meeting family halfway, traveling over the holiday or simply ready to retire the roasting pan for a year.
