What is a baby boomer?

People born between (and including) 1946 and 1964. After American soldiers returned home from World War II in1946, the United States experienced an explosion of births (hence the name baby boom) that continued for the next 18 years, when the birth rate began to drop. In 1964, baby boomers represented 40% of the population, which means that more than one third of the population was under 19 years of age. In the 1990s, approximately 76 million people in the United States were born in the baby boom years, representing approximately 29% of the country's population. Since baby boomers make up such a sizable portion of the consuming public, their spending habits and lifestyles have a powerful influence on the economy.

Never too young for supplements?

Maybe I am just too sensitive today but this video really shocked me. Is it really appropriate to push protein supplements on 14 year old boys? Why would they need a protein supplement?

We discovered what the little black specks on Mom’s house are.
Sphaerobolus stellatus
The presence of persistent, small, brown spots on cars, house siding, plants, and other surfaces may indicate the presence of the fungus Sphaerobolus stellatus. This cosmopolitan saprophyte is [...]

Yesterday the nursing home had Aunt Mary transferred to General Hospital. At this point she is on a ventilator and in intensive care.
The situation is grave.
