We’re faced with choices every day. Most are trivial and underwhelming to the point we don’t realize they’re even choices at all. Getting gas, whether or not to order take out, or the everso infamous quandary: “should i go to the gym?” There does, however, come those times when we’re forced to make more profound decisions…the type that could very well alter the trajectory...

We’re all familiar with the term “angry drunk.” Some of us have had the misfortune of knowing a few of these individuals. What’s scary about alcohol is it can alter someone’s personality drastically. Some individuals have a great time after a few drinks- cracking jokes and laughing. Others become suddenly emotional and cry. But the drinker who exhibits relentless rage is undoubtedly t...

These days, commercial genealogy websites such as ancestry.com are a common tool used to help bring justice in unsolved crimes.

We’d all like to believe that anyone we consider a “friend” would never betray us. As empathetic beings, it’s natural to put trust in other people. Sometimes we do so too casually, however…and to a fault. We can only hope the people we’re close with won’t stab us in the back…never mind in a literal sense. Back in 2016, just outside of Boston, MA in the city of Lawrence, a man wa...
