Title: "Deaf-blind twins share special relationship"

In Germany a set of twin brothers were born deaf,and over the years they became blind due to diabetes. They live in a group home for people who are deaf-blind. They do travel home often to visit their parents. They have a very close bond and even sleep in the same room every night. They enjoy living in the community, they partake in various activities and fill their days with fun. These men are now 49 years old.

Title: " Transitioning from daylight saving time could increase depression"

Who out there loves the time change? I think nobody. New studies show that the time change is causing people to get depression. Even though we just gained an hour of sleep (how nice) the loss of that extra sunshine at night makes people sad. If anyone out there is confused as to why we have day light savings click on the url above and watch the video, it gives a full explanation. The article is also worth the read, explaining different studies and reasons why daylight savings causes an increase of depression cases. This article is a education "E" it helps people understand and learn.

Title: " It's as healthy to eat bugs as it is to eat steak, study says"

In the United States it is not normal to eat bugs, but I guess it is starting to catch on. Insects are very high in protein and if you eat enough, they say its equivalent to eating meat. I know in other countries it is great to eat insects such as crickets and ants but I do not think I could replace a nice steak dinner with a bowl of fried bugs. Insects are an awesome alternative for meat and can save people from starving. Maybe some day in the future bugs are going to be considered our main food source, but until then I am going to keep on enjoying  my juicy steak. This piece is an educational "E"
