Its iconic performance by Joan Crawford as Mildred, a single mother hell-bent on freeing her children from the stigma of economic hardship, solidified Crawford's career comeback and gave the actor her only Oscar. But as Mildred pulls herself up by the bootstraps, first as an unflappable waitress and eventually as the well-heeled owner of a successful restaurant chain, the ingratitude of her materialistic firstborn (a diabolical Ann Blyth) becomes a venomous serpent's tooth, setting in motion an endless cycle of desperate overtures and heartless recriminations"--Container.DVD; NTSC, region 1; fullscreen (1.37:1 screen ratio); Dolby Digital mono.

The skeptic's guide to health, medicine, and the media [videorecording] / by Benaroch, Roy,teacher.(CARDINAL)481782; Teaching Company,production company.(CARDINAL)349444;

Lecturer: Dr. Roy Benaroch, Emory University School of Medicine.As consumers of medical news, how can we know whether the article we just read is based on solid science or is just an ill-informed attempt to grab readers? Professor Roy Benaroch of Emory University School of Medicine provides just the direction we need in The Skeptic's Guide to Health, Medicine, and the Media. In 24 fascinating lectures that address the most important health issues of our day--heart health, obesity, longevity, the opioid crisis, the stigma of mental illness, alternative medicine approaches, toxins in the environment, and more--Dr. Benaroch shows us how to recognize the good reporting and the bad. With his guidance, you'll create a 'Skeptic's Toolkit,' asking the questions that take you past the headlines and beyond the way health news is typically reported. You'll learn six specific questions to always keep in mind as you read any article in print or online: What's the source of the article? Is the evidence presented strong enough to be valuable? Is someone trying to sell me something? Is this study about people like me, and are the factors they're measuring in the study important to me? Does the report present a viewpoint from scientists not directly involved in the study? And is the story itself sensible, fitting in with what we already know? Armed with these questions, you'll be able to find valuable information to help inform your own health care decisions, without falling prey to snappy-sounding articles that have no basis in solid science.
