Since most households in the U.S. have at least one pet, a significant number of Americans are familiar with the joys of being a cat parent. But, of course, it's not all sunshine and rainbows -- especially when it comes time to take your furry friend to the vet.

But now, you might need only take a look in your kitty's litter box to assess whether it's time for a trip to the vet. Despite the fact that dumpsters are typically serviced at 60% or below f...

While the divorce rate seems to be slowing down, particularly among younger newlyweds who are waiting longer to tie the knot, that certainly doesn't mean that every marriage will end happily. In states like Tennessee, you'll have to wait anywhere between 60 and 90 days after drafting a divorce complaint before the legal dissolution of your marriage can take place. And if you share kids with your soon-to-be ex, you probably already know that a divorce can be even messier when children are involved. But while the immediate effects of divorce can be damaging enough, there's also evidence to suggest that divorce can have major long-term implications for children -- and that might include your child's pursuit of higher education. Most divorcing parents will focus their energy on developing a...

In today's digital world, we're constantly trying to make data more convenient to access. Edge computing and mobile data centers, for instance, allow for expanded location options and make it possible for companies to move these resources virtually anywhere in the world. Coupled with liquid immersion cooling -- which can also improve data center design, location, and rack density -- these improvements make it possible for users to obtain data at lightning-fast speeds. Unfortunately, that may also mean that this data is more vulnerable than ever. Whether mobile data centers are utilized or not, security breaches are becoming more common all the time. We're all too willing to connect to a public WiFi connection, enter our passwords and credit card information, and send emails containing s...

People may take medication for a variety of reasons -- from surgery recovery to a life-long illness to chronic sleep issues, which affect up to 18% of U.S. adults, medication can be beneficial for certain situations. But in recent years, the U.S. has seen an increase in opioid prescriptions, which has turned into a nationwide crisis.

During this time period there were over 78,000 patients in that age group who took...

Global divorce rates are higher than they've ever been before -- in the United States, around 40% to 50% of married couples end up getting divorced.

A recent referendum saw 82.1% of voters wanted to remove this clause, making getting a divorce significantly easier as lawmakers will decide on an updated separation period. Charlie Flanagan, Minister for Justice and Equality, tweeted after the vote saying the majority support for the change in law was "very positiv...
