Tarigrades, or Water Bears, May Help Unlock Slowing the Aging Process
in Humans - Discover Magazine (No paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=33125&nl=daily]

Tardigrades are the undisputed masters of survival. Bake them at 300
degrees Fahrenheit, freeze them to within a degree of absolute zero,
deprive them of water and oxygen, subject them to the vacuum of space
they will still survive. And now scientists have begun to show how we
can harness their legendary resilience to advance human medicine.
Inspired by the feats of these near-microscopic animals (also known as
water bears), researchers at the University of Wyoming wanted to see
what would happen if they introduced a particular tardigrade protein
into isolated human cells. Incredibly, even in such a foreign context,
it had the same effect: The cells slowed their molecular processes,
resulting in a sort of suspended animation that protected them from
harm.

Plastic Surgery & MedSpa. India and Roman descriptions use primitive
suture materials for repairs of the lips and ears from the 1st century
B.C.Plastic surgery became more important with the advent of trench
warfare in World War I, when bullets could strike people in the face
in the trenches. Antell says that some of the earliest plastic
surgeons (including himself) have both a dental and medical degree
because they had to be very adept at rebuilding the mouth and teeth.

What is Parkinson's disease--and why is it so hard to diagnose? -
National Geographic (No paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=33125&nl=daily]

In 1817, British surgeon James Parkinson penned a case study of a
malady he called the shaking palsya progressive affliction that left
older adults with tremors, weakness, and the inability to control
their body. Stumped by the disorders cause, the physician closed his
paper with a plea to his fellow scientists to follow up on his
work.More than two centuries later, the condition now known as
Parkinsons disease is the second most common neurological disorder of
its kind. But though it affects up to a million Americans and is
projected to balloon even further in the coming years, the cure
Parkinson once imagined remains nearly as elusive as it was in the
19th century.

While human eyes are attuned to certain wavelengths of light emitted
by the sun and stars or reflected from the moon, the top-most part of
bull ants eyes can see a pattern in the sky thats invisible to
uspolarized light. This pattern shines through even when celestial
bodies are obscured by clouds.By manipulating the pattern with a
filter placed over the ants as they returned to nests in the wild, the
scientists were able to show that the insects were following that
signal and making course-corrections based on it in real-time, as
opposed to navigating based on a memory of its position.

The Dangerous Push for Israeli-Saudi Normalization - Foreign Affairs
(No paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=33125&nl=daily]

During his first three years in office, U.S. President Joe Biden based
his Middle East strategy on a single, straightforward project:
normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Such a deal,
Washington thought, would stabilize the tumultuous region and
constrain an increasingly emboldened Iran. The United States would
then be free to shift its resources away from the Middle East and
toward Asia and Europe. The Arab world might even become part of an
ambitious Eurasian trade corridor connecting the Indian Ocean to the
Mediterranean Sea, an enterprise that could compete with Chinas Belt
and Road Initiative.By the fall of 2023, U.S. officials seemed close
to brokering an agreement. Saudi Arabia indicated it was ready to
normalize ties with Israel if, in exchange, Washington would strike a
security pact with Riyadh. The United States was prepared to grant the
Saudis their wish. Although the pact would theoretically deepen the
United States regional commitments, American officials hoped that,
thanks to a newly strong Israeli-Saudi relationship, Saudi Arabia
would rarely need U.S. military assistance.

Debt Is Dragging Down the Developing World - Foreign Affairs (No
paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=33125&nl=daily]

The violent protests that began in Nairobi in June appeared to erupt
suddenly, a direct response to governments proposal of a contentious
finance bill the month before. But the economic crisis that motivated
the legislation, which would have raised taxes in part to pay off the
countrys debt, has been years in the making. Kenyas debt burden has
forced its leaders to face a series of impossible choices. Last year,
they slashed the federal budget, including health spending, to provide
funds for debt servicing; the government also delayed salary payments
to civil servants. In February, despite these measures, Nairobi had to
issue an international bond at an eye-watering ten percent interest
rate, compared with roughly six percent on bonds it issued in 2021, to
refinance its existing debts and meet development needs. Kenya is now
spending 75 percent of its tax revenue on debt service.Under pressure
from the protests, President William Ruto rejected the finance bill
after it received parliamentary approval. But Kenyas larger crisis
remains. Like many countries in Africa and across the developing
world, the economic gains Kenya made in the two decades preceding the
COVID-19 pandemic are slipping away. In 38 percent of countries
eligible for development assistance from the World Bank, per capita
GDP is lower today than it was before the pandemica drop the bank has
described as a historic reversal in development.

leaflets instructed Palestinians to head south via two designated safe
routes, marked as roads leading to shelters in Deir al-Balah and
al-Zawaida in central Gaza, as Israel intensifies its combat

Islamic Jihad have regrouped in Gaza City since the start of 2024.This
is the first time since last October that all residents of Gazas
largest city have been ordered to evacuate the area, where more than a
quarter of a million people are currently living. Locals report that
Israeli strikes began targeting the city before dawn on Monday and
have continued with little reprieve, similar to how the IDF began its

An Ingenious New French Comedy of Art and Friendship - The New Yorker
(No paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=33125&nl=daily]

One of the privileges and pleasures of working as a film critic is
that people occasionally send me movies that arent yet available in
the U.S. Some of them are very goodand a precious few are so good
that, were they to be shown here, theyd rank among the years most
significant releases. So it is with a new film from France, released
there in June under the title Vas-Tu Renoncer? (Will You Give Up?), by
the veteran independent filmmaker Pascale Bodet. Its listed on IMDb
under the title of Edouard and Charles, the names of the two main
characters: the painter douard Manet and the poet and critic Charles
Baudelaire. The film is based on the historical friendship between the
two men (whose last names are never mentioned), but is set in the
present day. Bodet depicts both figures as simultaneously of their
time and outside of it, and this unresolved ambiguity lends the movie
a tone, combining intellectual earnestness and screwball comedy, thats
as audacious and distinctive as it is deftly sustained.Vas-Tu
Renoncer? confronts the eternal drama of art and commerce, aesthetics
and institutions, and the slings and arrows that boldly original
artists are often condemned to endure. It condenses these grand themes
into a tense, pressurized, yet lyrically comical span of just
seventy-one minutes. douard (Benjamin Esdraffo)socially awkward,
buttoned-up, and self-doubtingis desperate to show the painting that
he considers to be his masterwork, Olympia, to his brusque and
bumptious friend Charles (Pierre Lon), and he embarrassingly cajoles,
coaxes, and importunes Charles to come by his studio for a viewing.
Charles, for his part, is desperately in need of a grant, which an
arts-world bureaucrat named Jeanne Brillo (Marianne Basler) promises
to help him get, and he keeps putting douard off with vague promises
and brazen excuses. douard continues to work on the painting as if in
the dark, unadvised by Charles, who chases the money ever more
shamelessly. When it comes to light that Charles has grossly and
selfishly affronted douard, a mutual friend, the connoisseur and
curator dAurilleby (played by Marc Barb and based on the real-life
writer Jules Barbey dAurevilly), tries to mediate between the two
friends.

The Controlled Normalcy of Kamala Harriss Trip to Las Vegas - The New

It was against this backdrop that Harris travelled to Las Vegas on
Tuesday for what some hoped, or at least speculated, was part of an
audition tape for a candidacy of her own. Even though it was the
middle of the summer, with the Democratic National Convention roughly
a month away, there was a tinge of the more primal feeling of the
winter primary seasonis somebody about to drop out or get pushed
aside? The horse race was back on, at least for now. (In a recent CNN
poll, Harris lost to Donald Trump by a smaller margin than Biden did,
trailing by two points as opposed to four. Another survey saw Harris
beating Trump by one point.) The Cook Political Report had just deemed
Nevada, a swing state, as leaning Republican.As Democrats in
Washington, D.C., held Party meetings about Biden's viability as a
candidate"We are ridin' with Biden," Representative James Clyburn
insisted nine times to reportersHarris touched down in Vegas. It was a

planned to protest her visit to the state, but they cancelled, citing
the dangers of the extreme heat. Harris dropped in on the men's
Olympic basketball training camp, where Steph Curry and LeBron James
were both practicing; she wished them good luck in Paris. Her
motorcade continued to Resorts World, where she was the keynote
speaker at a festival sponsored by the Biden campaign for the Asian
American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities. A large
group of union members in matching purple shirts were first in line to
enter the ballroom where the event would take place, right above a
liquor-infused-ice-cream bar and a night club.

Inflation will go up regardless of who the next president is, but
under Trump's tariffs it would be higher for longer, Oxford Economics
says - Fortune (No paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=33125&nl=daily]

Regardless of whether Joe Biden or Donald Trump wins a coveted second
term, inflation will increase, predicts the research firm Oxford
Economics. The question is how much. Both presidents policies are
inflationary, albeit in different ways, Oxford says. And while the
broad trend lines of the economy will remain the same regardless of
who controls the White House or Congress, how steep they end up being
could change drastically from one political reality to another.The
main drivers of inflation under Trump would be his draconian
immigration policies, which would shrink the available workforce; a
further cut of corporate tax rates, and, most notably, an
unprecedented set of tariffs on all foreign goods. Meanwhile, Oxford
Economics assumes that Biden would temporarily extend the Child Tax
Credit, leading to a near-term spike in inflation, as low-income
families spend their tax refunds at a time when the economy requires
less spending. Eventually that increase in inflation would give way to
a period of stable economic growth, Yaros told Fortune.

Strongest "missing link" in black hole physics discovered at last
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=33125&nl=daily]

All throughout the Universe, black holes abound in great numbers and
with impressive masses. On the one hand, black holes are known to
arise from the corpses of stars, and are seen with orbiting
companions, often emitting X-rays, and have also been discovered by
inspiraling and merging through their gravitational wave emissions.
Over 100 such black holes are known, with masses between ~3 and ~200
solar masses. On the other hand, there are supermassive black holes,
predominantly found at the cores of galaxies, with much greater
masses: from hundreds of thousands of times the mass of our Sun up to
tens of billions.But an in-between population of intermediate-mass
black holes has long been suspected to exist, but has proven extremely
difficult to unveil directly. One of the leading places to search for
them has been near the centers of globular clusters: dense collections
of anywhere between hundreds of thousands to several million stars,
all bound together in a volume just a few tens of light-years in size.
These globular clusters abound nearby, with more than 100 of them
bound to our Milky Way and with over 1000 within the Local Group.

Sets - SPONSOR CONTENT FROM JLL
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=33125&nl=daily]

In a risk-aware sector like finance, organizations seeking AI-powered
insights from their proprietary data may find that off-the-shelf large
language models (LLMs) are insufficient for the task. But models
trained specifically on integrated and extensive CRE data sets could
provide more valuable insights. With access to CRE market information,
a customized model may help financial institutions better understand
industry trends, identify new opportunities, and make more-informed
decisions about managing their property portfolios.

Why Small Companies Are Better at Customer Service
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=33125&nl=daily]

Many of my posts have focused on big company lessons for smaller,
high-growth, entrepreneurial companies. But two recent experiences
reminded me that sometimes big businesses need to look more carefully
at what the little guy is doing. I believe that a small business is
likely to deliver better customer service than a large company because
of its innate common sense and understanding of the power of empathy.

The Crisis Communications Playbook: What GM's Mary Barra (and Every
Leader) Needs to Know
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=33125&nl=daily]

Imagine that you were just named to a CEO position at a top
corporation. This has to be one of the most thrilling adventures of
your life. But after only a few weeks on the job, you learn that the
company has been hiding information for over a decade about a product
defect that cost the lives of 13 people, and you will need to recall
millions of units from consumers. Mary Barra, CEO of GM, doesnt have
to imagine the situation; she is living it. Most of the people who end
up in top jobs have never had any training for or experience in
dealing with communicating in a crisis on the big stage. I thought it
might be useful to put together a playbook that every leader should
have ready for when it hits the fan.

Can You Be Too Well Connected?
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=33125&nl=daily]

The benefits and pitfalls of networking have never been quantified. A
team of researchers examined the meeting schedules and emails of
Microsoft employees to find the employees with the most and least
amount of connectedness. Well-connected employees were more engaged
and more likely to speak up about issues at work. But the researchers
were surprised to also find several downsides of being
well-connected.Well-connected employees are less likely to engage in
actions that would upset their hard-earned relationships. Furthermore,
they were 16% less likely to be satisfied with their work-life balance
and 20% less likely to think that their workload allowed them to
achieve an acceptable work-life balance. The authors suggest several
steps companies can take to guard work-life balance and encourage even
networked employees to blow the whistle on problems that they see in
their company.

Why Do So Few Women Edit Wikipedia?

In 2008, a survey found that less than 13% of Wikipedia contributors
worldwide were women. The free online encyclopedia that anyone can
edit was outed as being mostly run by men. A follow up survey in 2011
found similar results: globally, 9% of contributors were women; in the
U.S., it was 15%. Meanwhile, there appeared to be no significant
gender difference in readership rates.

Compromise Requires Relationships (Not Friendships)

To work out differences and get things done, people in organizations
need to work together. To foster this kind of collaboration, managers

potential partners. Without this foundation, negotiations often become
adversarial; parties question each others motives and neither side
truly listens to the other.
