NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly 200 years after Ludwig van Beethoven's death, researchers pulled DNA from strands of his hair, searching for clues about the health problems and hearing loss that plagued him.They weren't able to crack the case of the German composer's deafness or severe stomach ailments. But they did find a genetic risk for liver disease, plus a liver-damaging hepatitis B infection in the last months of his life.These factors, along with his chronic drinking, were probably enough to cause the liver failure that is widely believed to have killed him, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Current Biology.This photo provided by researchers in March 2023, shows the Stumpff Lock, from composer Ludwig van Beethoven, in a laboratory at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Germany.

My in-laws, the kids grandparents, agreed to watch our kids for one night so that we could have a nice evening alone. We have two kids under the age of four, so we just wanted a night of quiet, and my husband's parents graciously agreed to watch them starting at noon, staying at our house all night, so we could go to a hotel, and then we would relieve them in the morning.

Ask Amy: Wife wants her mom and husband to be friends

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:40:14 GMT

Dear Amy: I was raised by a single mother. She’s an educated, liberal feminist who brought me up to be a strong and self-sufficient woman.She is loving, open-minded and non-confrontational. We are very close, even though she lives in another state.Every year she comes to stay at my house for a week or two and the two of us travel to visit other relatives. I always thoroughly enjoy our time together.My husband was raised in a very patriarchal house by blue-collar workers who never denied him anything. He’s brilliant and extremely successful, even though he never finished college (but he is insecure about how smart he is).He’s a man’s man, physically strong, can fix anything, build anything, do anything he sets his mind to, takes excellent care of our grown children, and adores me.My problem is that my husband and mother don’t like each other.They don’t argue, but they definitely struggle to be in the same room.Once my husband and I were debating about so...
