The Dublin Coach House, which is listed on Airbnb , may have inspired a line in Taylor Swift's song "Sweet Nothing." "Wait I'm looking at airbnbs in Ireland and found one Taylor stayed at?" Twitter user Manda said on June 1. "They say that Sweet Nothings references her stay there." Manda adds, erroneously: "This is where they stayed in Wicklow." Manda shared a screenshot of the Airbnb listing which appears to feature an autographed photo and thank you note the pop star sent to the host.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (August 2, 2023)—Not all women experience menopause the same way. The severity of menopause symptoms is influenced by a multitude of behavioral, biological, social, psychological, and demographic factors. A new study suggests that infertility may also be a risk factor for some menopause symptoms, including depressive mood, irritability, and sleep problems. Results of the study are published online today in Menopause, the journal of The Menopause Society. A woman's reproductive history has been implicated as a factor in the timing of menopause onset and the prevalence of menopause symptoms.
