In the offseason of 2015 the San Francisco 49ers were coming off another impressive season and another playoff berth. In March of 2015 a promising 24-year-old Chris Borland linebacker Chris Borland retired, saying that he “wanted to take care of his mind and body.” After that, 3 more young players would also retire, this left the 49ers with serious holes in their football team, and even more questions as to why this was happening. It’s no secret that the game of football takes a serious toll on…

actors are wearing horned helmets so people have the opinion of the myth Viking warriors are wearing horned helmets or winged helmets. Forget almost every Viking costume you’ve ever seen. The pugnacious Scandinavians probably sported headgear when they marched into battle, but there’s no reason to believe it was festooned with horns. In depictions dating from the Viking age—between the eighth and 11th centuries—warriors appear either bareheaded or clad in simple helmets likely made of either…

your gear on you have to carry it to the lodge. For snowboarders you're already wearing your boots because they're comfortable and you can just grab your snowboard and clip your helmet to the binding and hold under your arm. It’s an easy, stress free process. Compared to a skier who is juggling their skis, poles, helmet, and boots. You're bound to drop something or hit something walking between the rows of cars. By the time you get in the lodge and drop all of your stuff, your snowboarding…

The battle between books and movies is not usually a fair fight: The book is usually engaging to our imagination, and as such it tends to dominate. But the movie adaptation of Wonder, a book written by R.J Palacio, challenges that notion, and establishes itself as one of the most influential films in 2017. Wonder tells the story of 10 year old August “Auggie” Pullman. He suffers from a facial deformity, making social acceptance a challenge. “I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're…

room begging them to get up and take me to the barn. I threw on my show clothes and ran downstairs to the car. My body was jittering with nerves, it was my first horse show, I wasn’t sure what to expect. As we drove there I anxiously fiddled with my helmet and gloves thinking about the horse I was going to ride. She is a tall 16hh fleabitten gray mare, I have ridden her a few times before and we seemed to get along well. Once we got off the highway and reached Glastonbury, my heart began to…

players to wear a helmet that lights up if a significant impact to the head has occurred would be a major key in early-on detection.
