Current events and the stress of the world and life weighing you down? Take a vacation of the mind this week with us to Tristan da Cunha, a South Atlantic volcanic island farther from anywhere and anyone than any other place in the world. Settled in the early 1800s, this island was home to a handful of people.

Centuries of seclusion have led to the island’s current population descending from just a handful of ancestors.

July is the deadliest month of the year when it comes to hot car deaths. So what better time to spread awareness? Coincidentally the most notorious hot car death case has been in the news recently. On June 18, 2014, Justin Ross Harris left his 22 month old son Cooper Harris in a hot car for 7 hours while he was at work. He was charged with his murder among many other things and was sentenced to life without parole. But on June 22, 2022, his murder charges were overturned by the Georgia Supreme Court due to an unfair trial. Harris was released into the custody of Cobb County on June 16, 2024, 2 days before the 10th anniversary of Cooper’s death. Learn the ins and outs of this story and form your own opinion.
