Pain is a universal human experience, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood aspects of health. Traditional views often equate pain directly with physical injury, but modern pain science challenges this simplistic understanding.
Like it or not, artificial intelligence has become part of daily life. Many devices — including electric razors and toothbrushes — have become “AI-powered,” using machine learning algorithms to track how a person uses the device, how the device is working in real time, and provide feedback. From asking questions to an AI assistant like ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot to monitoring a daily fitness routine with a smartwatch, many people use an AI system or tool every day.
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Experienced jelly-makers will tell you one enduring fact: All pectin is not created equal.
When the Kansas legislature selected a state tree it chose the native cottonwood because its presence was synonymous with homestead success. The fast-growing trees require adequate moisture to grow, so a standing grove indicated crops were likely to succeed as well.
In 2021, Kansas Tourism launched the Sunflower Summer program, opening the doors to our state’s zoos, museums, nature centers, and historical sites to Kansas families — for free! Designed to help young Kansans explore and fall in love with their home state, the program has quickly proven to be much more than a feel-good initiative.
The start of summer brings a sense of excitement for many teens. Take a moment to reflect back to your teen years. As we reminisce, we can likely all say that our adolescent years were a unique and informative time of our life. Mental wellbeing habits are often formed during this time as teens strengthen their social and emotional skills, laying a foundation of habits for the rest of their life. Consider what habits you perhaps formed during this time and what supports you had or needed when you were a teen.
We Kansans should be proud of our heritage. Eisenhower, a great leader raised in Abilene is the most notable. A standout at West Point who led our allied forces to defeat Hitler’s Nazis. He was not shy by exposing the Nazi atrocities to the world. Trump claims of antisemitism is the reason he attacks Harvard while being antisemitic himself. He praised Neo Nazis and stereotyped Jewish people. As president Eisenhower led our country to prosperity and stood firm against aggression, He knew who friends were and who valued our allies. He built highways instead of fences. He enforced the court orders, and didn’t defy time. Trump, a corrupt bigot who has no values. We have Bob Dole, a brave soldier and senator with roots In Russell. He knew what America first meant. With democrat support he helped feed the starving here and abroad. Now we are stuck with the lacky Roger Marshall. Wichita East Highschool grad Bill Gates, an Air Force officer Who led the CIA and later was Secretary of Defense. He Modernized our Military and was one of our best statesmen. He served 2 presidents of opposing parties who valued our counter. Now we have Hegseth, a white nationalist bigot that is not qualified to run anything to the delight of our enemies. Emporia’s Willam Allen White set the example for journalist nationwide and helped root out the KKK in Kansas. If you visit old cemeteries, you’ll see the graves of former union soldiers who gave all to end slavery. We need to honor our heritage and reject the corruption and lawless in the current administration..
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Wednesday, May 28, that the administration will begin to “aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students.” The U.S. Departments of State and Homeland Security will make changes (yet unspecified) to criteria for China and Hong Kong student visas and increase scrutiny of applications. Rubio targeted students “with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields,” but failed to specify those fields.
“The AUTOPEN,” US president Donald Trump wrote on his “Truth Social” platform on June 2 (referring to Joe Biden), “should have stopped Iran a long time ago from ‘enriching.’ Under our potential Agreement -- WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM!”
