Want to preserve all those precious memories, including your first kiss and how you felt the first time you got behind the wheel of a car?
If you do, start moving: New research shows that when sedentary older adults started to exercise, they showed improvements in episodic memory, or the ability to vividly recall meaningful moments and events.
This photograph shows Louis Macknik, a member of the then-201st Combat Communications Flight (now the 292nd Combat Communications Squadron). The unit provide communications services supporting bare base operations at Chong Ju AB, Korea during Team Spirit 84.
Lou became the unit commander before his military retirement. A Traditional Guardmember, he worked at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) on Haleakalā. He later relocated to the continent to pursue a job opportunity.
When Ellen and Carl Otterness’ daughters were young, the couple wrote wills. Their primary goal was to name a guardian for their children if something happened to both of them. Then they didn’t think about it … for decades. Their now-adult daughters are both over 40, with husbands and kids of their own.
Here’s a closer look at those 6 reasons, and how to help overcome them.

Doctors categorize stress as a risk factor for heart attacks. Acute stress combined with high blood pressure can cause a heart attack. Stress can also cause a condition called Takotsubo cardiomyopathy or broken heart syndrome.
Stress can cause high blood pressure, which can increase a person’s risk of a heart attack. Additionally, it can lead to behaviors that increase a person’s likelihood of heart disease, such as overeating and smoking.
To prevent heart attacks, people should manage their existing health conditions and aim to live a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

Relatively few Americans itemize deductions on their tax return. You can either claim the standard deduction or itemized deductions on your return — but not both. And, of course, you always want to pick the higher amount, which is the standard deduction for the vast majority of people.
That means most Americans can’t claim some very well-known tax breaks. No deduction for medical expenses. Zero tax savings for mortgage interest payments. Nothing for state and local taxes, either. If you claim the standard deduction, you can’t claim any of these popular write-offs.
But there are several other popular tax deductions that people taking the standard deduction can still claim on their tax return. Most of these so-called “above-the-line” deductions have no income limits, so anybody can claim them on Schedule 1 of their Form 1040. Plus, because these deductions will lower your adjusted gross income (AGI), you may be able to claim other tax breaks that have AGI-based income limits. (They’re called “above-the-line” deductions because you record them on the 1040 form above the line showing your AGI.) So, if you’re claiming the standard deduction and want to lower your tax bill, keep reading to see if you qualify for any of these common money-saving write-offs.

In a major development in cancer research and treatment, a man in the United Kingdom has received what doctors are calling a “cancer vaccine.” The treatment is designed specifically for this participant in an effort to prevent his cancer from recurring.
The treatment consists of a series of subcutaneous injections, which healthcare professionals deliver beneath the skin. The trial is not yet over, but if it is successful, the vaccine will be groundbreaking in the field of cancer treatment.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is sending shockwaves through pretty much every asset class across the globe. Risk assets such as stocks are tumbling. Traditional safe havens like Treasury debt and gold are rising. And oil and other key commodities are spiking at a time when U.S. inflation just hit a four-decade high.
But as disastrous and disorienting as the impact of Europe’s largest military conflict since World War II might be, the best course of action for most retail investors is to keep calm and carry on, market strategists say.
