The maker of the video game Fortnite is being sued by two parents in Canada who claim the game is as addictive as cocaine. The parents are claiming software development company Epic Games used psychologists to design "the most addictive game possible."Fortnite is one of the most popular games among kids. Eight-year-old Rayline Brassert and her friends are hooked“People always brag about Fortnite,” said Rayline. “Like when they always come to school and brag about it.”Rayline’s mother says it can be a challenge to get her daughter to stop playing. “There’s like this switch that goes off and if she’s not allowed to do something and she’s a completely different person and you gotta pull her back to reality,” said Natalie Brassert.Fifteen-year-old Gavin Probst says he plays Fortnite nearly every day and admits he can spend a little too much time in front of the screen. “It’s real easy to lose time. I’ve personally gone overboard many times,” said Gavin. His mother, Christine, also notices a change in her son when he starts playing the game. “You can just sort of tell their attitudes get a little bit more short, they can be a little bit more cranky,” said Christine. Dr. Russell Schilling with the American Psychological Association has worked with game developers but wasn’t involved with Fortnite. “They’re creative people and whether psychologists are involved or not, what they’re trying to do is make the game as engaging as possible,” said Dr. Schilling. “They want you to play it, they wouldn’t make money if they weren’t.”Schilling feels there’s not enough research to show video games are addictive, even though the World Health Organization made video game addiction an official mental health disorder.“Many things can become addictive,” said Schilling. “There are many factors for why that may happen but there may not be anything specifically about video games that’s unique – we just don’t know at this point.”As for the lawsuit, Epic Games won’t comment on pending litigation but Fortnite has nearly 250 million users worldwide. 2067

The moon is slowly shrinking over time, which is causing wrinkles in its crust and moonquakes, according to photos captured by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.Unlike Earth, the moon doesn't have tectonic plates. Instead, as the moon's interior has cooled over the last several hundred million years, it has caused the surface to wrinkle as it shrinks. Unlike the flexible skin of a grape when it shrinks into a raisin, the moon's brittle crust breaks. This creates stair-step cliffs called thrust faults as part of the crust is pushed up and over another close part of the crust.There are now thousands of cliffs scattered across the moon's surface, averaging a few miles long and tens of yards high. The orbiter has taken photos of more than 3,500 of them since 2009. In 1972, Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt had to ascend one of these cliffs, the Lee-Lincoln fault scarp, by zig-zagging the lunar rover over it.Today the moon is 50 meters "skinnier" because of this process. And as it shrinks, the moon actively produces moonquakes along the faults. Researchers re-analyzed seismic data they had from the moon to compare with the images gathered by the orbiter.Data from the seismometers placed on the moon during the Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15 and 16 missions revealed 28 moonquakes recorded between 1969 and 1977. Researchers compared the location of the epicenters for those quakes with the orbiter imagery of the faults. At least eight of the quakes occurred due to activity along the faults. This rules out the possibility of asteroid impacts or rumblings from the moon's interior.This means that the Apollo seismometers recorded the moon shrinking, the researchers said. The study of Apollo seismic data and analysis of more than 12,000 of the orbiter's photos were published Monday in the journal 1841

The Consumer Financial Protections Bureau reports 72 million Americans struggle to pay off medical debt, as of 2018. In fact, it’s one of the leading causes of bankruptcy in the U.S.Michelle Farden’s daughter, Monica, was included in those statistics. Monica got a blood clot in 2014 and she didn’t have health insurance.“The blood clot went to her heart and took her life,” Farden says. The grieving mother wonders if her daughter’s mounting medical bills contributed to her passing.One in 5 Americans are facing a burden of looming medical bills, according to the Consumer Financial Protections Bureau. Fifty-two percent of all debt in America is related to medical expenses. “If a patient is so concerned about the cost that they’re going to skip treatment, they’re going to get sicker and that doesn’t help anybody,” David Fredricken, CEO of Patient Focus, a group that helps patients deal with medical debt that’s often unforeseen and unaffordable. Fredricken says often times, a patient has no idea what they owe when they leave the hospital.According to NerdWallet, there are some things you can do to help alleviate your medical debt, and the stress that comes along with it:Set up a payment planConsider a medical credit cardTalk to a medical bill advocateIf you’re already in collections, try to negotiate a lower payment on your ownFarden wishes she could turn back time and have her daughter back, as she wonders how many other lives have been lost because someone was afraid to pay a bill.For more information on 1538

The Boston area is home to some of the most elite schools in America. People from around the world dream of enrolling at schools like Harvard, MIT, Tufts and others.But for many of those living just about a half hour from Harvard's campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the idea of going to any college can be hard to imagine. "I never really even thought about college or even finishing high school," Paul Burns says.Burns grew up in a tough part of Boston's Dorchester neighborhood. "It's an everyday struggle to even survive," he says. "Everyone doesn't go to school. Everyone doesn't go to college. Everyone doesn't have job. Everyone doesn't have the benefits that most kids have."Burns wasn't going to college at 17; he was going to prison. He spent five years behind bars. When he got out, he walked into the non-profit, College Bound Dorchester. "The first Friday I got out, I was in there the next Monday," Burns recalls.College Bound Dorchester helps people who others might think would never have a chance at college."They're not different from you or me; they have dreams,” College Bound Dorchester's senior vice president Michelle Caldeira says. “They just need the opportunity." College Bound Dorchester tutors, guides and helps students, many of whom are former gang members."The rate of people who were formally incarcerated going back to jail is 40 percent in Massachusetts," Caldeira says. "For us, it's lower. It's about 19 percent, so we know immediately when students are engaged with us the recidivism is immediately lowered."According to the 1576
