Build a Corporate Culture That Works - Harvard Business Review (No
paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=32872&nl=daily]

Theres a widespread understanding that managing corporate culture is
key to business success. Yet few companies articulate their culture in
such a way that the words become an organizational reality that molds
employee behavior as intended. All too often a culture is described as
a set of anodyne norms, principles, or values, which do not offer
decision-makers guidance on how to make difficult choices when faced
with conflicting but equally defensible courses of action. The trick
to making a desired culture come alive is to debate and articulate it
using dilemmas. If you identify the tough dilemmas your employees
routinely face and clearly state how they should be resolvedIn this
company, when we come across this dilemma, we turn leftthen your
desired culture will take root and influence the behavior of the team.
To develop a culture that works, follow six rules: Ground your culture
in the dilemmas you are likely to confront, dilemma-test your values,
communicate your values in colorful terms, hire people who fit, let
culture drive strategy, and know when to pull back from a value
statement.

Creating Stability Is Just as Important as Managing Change - Harvard
Business Review (No paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=32872&nl=daily]

When we think about change at work today, we tend to assume its
inevitability and focus our attention on how to manage it what methods
and processes and technology and communication we need to put in place
to have it move ahead more smoothly. Of course, some change is
necessary, and some is inevitable. But not all of it. What the
scientific literature on predictability, agency, belonging, place, and
meaning suggests is that before we think about managing change, we
should consider the conditions that people need at work in order to be
productive. In this article, the author explains why we should
cultivate a renewed appreciation for the virtues of stability,
together with an understanding of how to practice stability
management.

As the crypto scam commonly known as pig butchering has exploded into
a full-blown criminal industry that steals tens of billions of dollars
a year, an entire ecosystem has formed around it. That sub-industry
offers tools and data for finding and tricking targets, money

The untold story of the Human Genome Project: How one man's DNA became

It was the spring of 1997, and the Human Genome Project, an ambitious
attempt to read and map a human genetic code in its entirety, was
building momentum. The projects scientists had refined techniques to
read out the chemical sequences the series of As, Cs, Ts, and Gs that
encode the building blocks of life. Now, the researchers just needed
suitable human DNA to work with. More exactly, they needed DNA from
ordinary people willing to have their genetic information published
for the world to see. The volunteers who showed up at Buffalos Roswell
Park Cancer Institute had come to answer the call.To take part in the
study was to assume risks that were hard to calculate or predict. If
the volunteers were publicly outed, project scientists told them, they
might be contacted by the media or by critics of genetic research of
whom there were many. If the published sequences revealed a worrisome
genetic condition that could be tied back to the volunteers, they
might face discrimination from potential employers or insurers. And it
was impossible to know how future scientists might use or abuse
genetic information. No ones genome had ever been sequenced before.

The Return of the Military Draft - Foreign Policy (No paywall)
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=32872&nl=daily]

Israelwhich has long had mandatory conscriptionis currently debating
whether or not to lengthen its service for reservists as a result of
its ongoing war against Hamas and Hezbollah, and it may soon expand
the draft to the currently exempted ultra-Orthodox population
following an Israeli Supreme Court ruling voiding the exemption last
month. In May, Ukraine expanded its draft in order to replenish its
forces as it continues to fight off the Russian invasion. Russia has
similarly broadened its compulsory military service in response to
mounting casualties in Ukraine. In the Baltic states, Latvia
reintroduced the draft in 2023 following Russias attack on Ukraine;
Lithuania reintroduced it in 2015 in response to Russias 2014 invasion
of Ukraine; Estonia never abolished it. And halfway across the world,
Taiwan recently lengthened its conscription period in response to
increasingly menacing threats from China.Even countries not directly
on the front line are talking about reinstituting a draft or expanding
an existing one. Back in January, British General Staff chief Patrick
Saunders made political waves when he stated that the United Kingdom
would need a citizen army should it find itself in a major wara remark
widely interpreted as calling for a reintroduction of the draft. In
March, Denmark announced plans to expand its draft to include women
and lengthen its time of service. And in May, German Defense Minister
Boris Pistorius said that he was convinced that Germany needs some
kind of military conscription. The issue has even gotten some
attention in the United States, as highlighted by recent congressional
debates over whether young women should be required to register for
selective service.

The Case for Progressive Realism - Foreign Affairs (No paywall)
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=32872&nl=daily]

This year, voters in the United Kingdom will head to the polls as Keir
Starmers Labour Party seeks to win power from the Conservative Party
for the first time since 1997. It is difficult to overstate how much
the world has changed in the intervening years. When former Prime
Minister Tony Blair entered Downing Street 27 years ago, the British
economy was larger than Indias and Chinas combined. The United Kingdom
still administered a major Asian city, Hong Kong, as a colony. The
increase in global temperatures from the long-term average was less
than half what it is today. And American dominance was so striking
that some people saw the spread of the liberal democratic model as
inevitable.Today, the global order is messy and multipolar. China has
become a superpower, with an economy more than five times as large as
the United Kingdoms. But there has also been a shift in power to a
wider variety of states since I was first a minister almost 19 years
ago. As a result, geopolitics takes place on a much more crowded
board. Countries described in these pages by CIA Director William
Burns as the hedging middle are striking bargains and setting their
own agendas in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Much of the news is
grim: wars are increasing in scale and intensity. Democracies are on
the back foot. Climate breakdown is no longer a future worry; it is
already here. But the task of saving the planet has begun in earnest
as states both compete and cooperate in an energy transition on which
humanitys future depends.

Avoiding War in the South China Sea - Foreign Affairs (No paywall)
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=32872&nl=daily]

Throughout this year, American officials have been privately and
publicly signaling to their Chinese counterparts that the United
States is firmly committed to upholding its alliance commitments to
the Philippines. The message is intended as a warning not to test the
limits of American tolerance for Chinese attempts to obstruct access
to Second Thomas Shoal, a submerged reef in the South China Sea where
a grounded Philippines vessel, the Sierra Madre, serves as an outpost
for Filipino soldiers. In May, Philippine President Ferdinand Bongbong
Marcos, Jr., delivered a keynote address at the Shangri-La Dialogue in
Singapore, warning that if a Filipino citizen is killed by a willful
act, it would be very, very close to what we define as an act of war,
which could compel the Philippines to invoke the 1951 mutual defense
treaty with the United States.Such rhetoric has not stopped Beijing
from trying to prevent the Philippines from resupplying the Sierra
Madre. The Philippines has successfully reinforced the outpost in
recent months. But on June 17, the Chinese coast guard intentionally
collided with a Philippine resupply boat. Chinese servicemen wielded
axes, machetes, and improvised spears, and a Filipino sailor lost a
finger in the ensuing skirmish. A video of the confrontation went
viral. Chinese and Philippine vessels continue to operate close to one
another. The risk remains high that an incident could result in the
death of a Filipino soldier, potentially triggering the
U.S.-Philippine Mutual Defense Treaty and bringing American and
Chinese forces to the brink of conflict.

What does it take to become a saint in the modern age? - Culture (No

Thats when the miracles come in. The Catholic Church requires evidence
of one miracle to beatify a prospective saintwhich then allows the
local church to venerate a person, a practice of bestowing them with
special honors. After a second miracle occurs at this stage, the
church can officially canonize them.The harder thing to prove is that
healing could have only occurred through divine intervention. Cummings
says the Church is more likely to declare a miracle if an injury was
beyond hope and healed quickly. For the prospective saint to get
credit for it, devotees must swear that theyd prayed only to him or
her and no one else.

Most of what we know about Rasputin is thanks to Douglas Smith,

Romanovs. According to Smith, if the Rasputin you know is the
character from pop culture, you dont know Rasputin. Grigory Yefimovich
Rasputin was born in 1869 in the village of Pokrovskoye, in Siberia, a
part of the Russian empire. He was a self-taught peasant who left his
family farm to become something of a wandering holy man, though he was
never ordained. He wound up in St. Petersburg, where he came to the
attention of the Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra. And that is
where the plot thickens.

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=32872&nl=daily]

When I was just starting my career, going to conferences seemed like a
terrific perk. They were usually held in fun destinations and it was
exciting to be mingling with smart thought leaders. But I quickly
learned that attendance also came with an unspoken price tag. Not only
was I missing whatever work was required of me back at the home
