Joe Biden's campaign Saturday denied a report that he "is expected to discuss the future of his re-election campaign with family at Camp David on Sunday" after a problematic debate.

Biden has been called on to drop out of the race after he fumbled his words at the CNN debate versus Donald Trump. Raw Story reported this weekend that he was reportedly "meeting with his campaign co-chair in the Hamptons" amid the growing concerns about his age and mental state.

Later in the day, NBC News reported that "he and first lady Jill Biden are scheduled to join their children and grandchildren" at the pre-planned event.

Your child may sometimes write the word "dog" with two o's in the middle instead of one, and other times "dgo" or perhaps "bog." Then know this: Spelling the same word wrong in different ways is a red flag. "It's a typical sign of dyslexia," says Annette Höinghaus, spokesperson for the German Dyslexia and Dyscalculia Association (BVL). Misspellings of this kind distinguish the child from one who, for instance, always writes "doog," an error they may have acquired on account of emotional stress, a change of school, long absence from classes due to illness or similar circumstance. "The spelling ......

New research has discovered ultrasound waves can be used to improve the motility of sperm, with the breakthrough offering new hope for families around the world struggling to conceive. According to the study, out of Melbourne’s Monash University, using high-frequency ultrasound waves on sperm can boost their ability to swim by up to 266%. The university says about 30% of infertility comes down to low sperm motility, which means the sperm are not strong enough swimmers to make it through to the woman’s reproductive tract. Engineering researchers at Monash University have shown that 20 seconds o......

Infants in a pram should be well wrapped up to protect them from hypothermia, as babies lose heat faster than adults because their skin is particularly thin, according to health experts. The ratio of body volume to body size also precipitates a baby’s loss of heat, Germany's Das Sichere Haus health initiative says. On top of that, a baby that is simply lying in a pram without moving hardly produces any body heat. If the child is dressed too lightly, the risk of hypothermia arises after just 60 minutes at temperatures of around 6 degrees Celsius. Parents who want to go for a winter’s walk shoul......

In the wake of explicit deepfakes of pop singer Taylor Swift appearing on social media, education experts are urging parents to speak to their children about cyberbullying and ways to handle AI-generated images, videos and audio recordings. A fast-growing number of AI tools can be used to alter material to make it look or sound like a specific person and create a piece of content known as a deepfake. Only a free app and a couple of taps are needed to put someone's face in a whole new setting. This may seem like a fun prank to some teens, but it can be profoundly harmful for anyone affected, Ge......

Exasperated parents and spouses have a new red flag to wave at kids or partners who spend endless hours playing video games. Too much time glued to screens and battering controllers is linked to tinnitus and hearing loss, according to doctors and scientists in Australia, China, Switzerland and the US. "Gamers often play at high-intensity sound levels and for several hours at a time," the research team said, warning of possible "irreversible hearing loss and/or tinnitus—persistent ringing/buzzing in the ears." The research, covering data and studies taking in over 50,000 of the world’s estimate......
