The Brewers continue to chase the NL Central title, but they are currently trailing the Reds by a slim margin. Washington is in last place in the NL East and they are only 21-34 at home this year. Milwaukee has struggled in recent series, mostly to the Braves, but they are over .500 on the road. Milwaukee is starting Wade Miley, who has allowed six earned runs in his last 26 innings of work. Miley is coming off of the IL and hasn’t pitched since July 9th. Washington is starting MacKenzie Gore, who has allowed 3, 0, 5, 0, and 7 earned runs in his last five starts. The Brewers are the better team in this matchup and we are getting them with very solid odds in my opinion. Take Milwaukee to get the win.

Alzheimer's may be caused by immune cells thinking brain cells are bacteria, expert says

Image
The pursuit of a cure for Alzheimer's disease is becoming an increasingly competitive and contentious quest with recent years witnessing several important controversies. In July 2022, Science magazine reported that a key 2006 research paper, published in the prestigious journal Nature, which identified a subtype of brain protein called beta-amyloid as the cause of Alzheimer's, may have been based on fabricated data. One year earlier, in June 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had approved aducanumab, an antibody-targeting beta-amyloid, as a treatment for Alzheimer's, even though the data supporting its use were incomplete and contradictory. Some physicians believe aducanumab never should have been approved, while others maintain it should be given a chance. With millions of people needing an effective treatment, why are researchers still fumbling in this quest for a cure for what is arguably one of the most important diseases confronting humankind?

The mystery of the woman who burned to ashes in the apartment is still intact: A history of decades

Image
When police found Mary Reeser, most of her body was burned to ashes. It is difficult to understand that all furniture in the apartment is almost intact. This mysterious case for the past 70 years has not found a convincing answer. On July 2, 1951, Pansy Carpenter, Mary Reeser’s landlady, stopped by the tenant’s apartment to send a telegram. When Pansy knocked on the door, no one answered. She put her hand on the doorknob and felt unusually hot, so she called the police. Police immediately went to the apartment at 1,200 Cherry Street (St. Petersburg town, Florida, USA) and discovered Mrs. Marry Reeser, 67 years old, burned to death in a mysterious fire. Reports say that the victim’s body was burned to ashes by a “white” flame – the color shows a temperature between 1,300-1,500 degrees Celsius, equivalent to the temperature in a crematorium. The victim’s body was almost completely ash, leaving only one leg with...
