The winter solstice is upon us, marking the shortest day and longest night of the year.
People across the country have already faced multiple blankets of white snow where they live, but the winter solstice marks the first official day of winter.
The solstice also marks the start of the Pagan holiday, Yule, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. The holiday is thought to celebrate the sun's return and the land's rebirth as days begin to get longer after the longest night of the year.
The solstice is celebrated by many as a time of rebirth and change. Many cultures throughout human history ha

With the four weekday games from last week's holiday slate, your Week 14 NFL predictions should account for the rest advantages that teams have. Games like Bengals vs. Bills (-6), Ravens vs. Steelers (+6), Chiefs vs. Texans (+3.5) and Eagles vs. Chargers (+2.5) all feature teams with multiple days of rest over their opponent. While sportsbooks factored this in when setting the Week 14 NFL odds, having the edge in rest hasn't always been beneficial in regard to NFL spread success. Cincinnati, for example, who played on Thanksgiving Day, is 0-6 ATS over its last six games when it has the rest ad

A group of researchers say it's time for academia to get serious about studying UFOs.
The movement, championed by the Society for UAP Studies, is wrapping up an international conference aimed at establishing a new discipline dedicated to studying unidentified anomalous phenomena (or UAPs, the more formal term for UFOs).
Michael Cifone, the society's co-founder and president, said he's interested in what he calls "the empirical weird."
His catch-all phrase encompasses things that blur the lines between the real and the possible, phenomena that defy easy explanation: the spiritual, the parano

Startups will soon be ready to demonstrate how they make nuclear fusion work, but a lot of obstacles are in their way.

Fusion is the thermonuclear reaction that occurs in the core of stars, including the sun. But why all the hype around it?

A triple whammy polar vortex is coming. Will your state feel the chill?

Three rounds of cold Arctic air from a shifting polar vortex are expected to plunge much of the central and eastern U.S. into a cold snap in the coming weeks, meteorologists say. The first wave of the triple whammy of winter weather is happening this week.
“The week will end with some of the coldest air of the season so far, as a front advances from the Midwest into the Northeast and mid-Atlantic,” said Renee Duff, AccuWeather senior meteorologist.
Meteorologists forecast two more blasts of frigid temperatures for mil

A triple whammy polar vortex is coming. Will your state feel the chill?

The polar vortex is on the move and will take up a position near Hudson Bay, Canada, directing rounds of Arctic air southward from the North Pole to parts of the central and eastern United States through the middle of the month. The waves of Arctic air will trigger rounds of flurries and squalls in some areas and may help fuel storms with more widespread snow.
The Arctic air is expected to deliver subzero temperatures from the Dakotas and Minnesota to Iowa and Nebraska, and by far the lowest temperatures of the season

'Off-the-shelf' cancer therapy hunts and kills deadly tumors, new study finds

Scientists at UCLA have developed an "off-the-shelf" cell-based immunotherapy that was able to track down and kill pancreatic cancer cells even after they had spread to other organs.
In a mouse study, the treatment slowed cancer growth, extended survival and remained effective even within the harsh environment of solid tumors.
"Even when the cancer tries to evade one attack pathway by changing its molecular signature, our therapy is hitting it from multiple other angles at the same time. The tumor simply can’t a

We are in the home stretch. The calendar has flipped to December, the holiday lights are up, and our bank accounts are reeling thanks to all the Christmas shopping we have on deck. In lockstep with all the craziness of the holiday season, we're in the nitty-gritty of the NFL campaign.

The most common valuation yardstick is the mNAV. It compares a company's enterprise value (EV) — which is a firm's market cap plus debt minus any cash — to the market value of its bitcoin holdings.

The metric is now widely followed. Strategy publishes its own mNAV on its investor site, while third-party dashboards such as BitcoinTreasuries.net track various mNAV figures across multiple firms.
