I was in my early teens in the early 1990s when I began pestering my
mother for a treat that everyone in America, from President Clinton to
Spider-Man, seemed to eat pretty much daily. Living in Bombay (now

Workout burnout, extreme diets: The pressure to stay fit is making Gen
Z ill
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=70967&nl=daily]
You might disagree, but the truth is that many of us don’t hit the
gym or push ourselves during workout sessions solely for fitness. A
significant part of our motivation revolves around our image. More
than just staying healthy, we often focus on how others perceive us,
the likes a ripped photo can garner on social media, and the
compliments that come our way because of our hard work.

Here's some great news for domestic travellers. Indian is set to see

aviation sector will see three new passenger air carriers launch
operations early next year and it purely to cash on the boom in air
travel, which posted a healthy 23.57% year-on-year growth, propelled

Aviation Ministry and are now in the process of getting the Air
Operator Certificate (AOC) or flying permit which will allow them to

Richa Chadha, Guneet Monga, and Kiran Rao on the stories of women, by

Heeramandi and Laapataa Ladies seemingly have little in common. Sure,
they are primarily women-led projects. But, while one is a period
drama about the lives of courtesans set in its namesake red-light
district in Lahore, the other is a modern-day satire set in fictional
Nirmal Pradesh, following the journey of two women who get swapped in
a train because of their veiled wedding attire. One thing they do have
in common, however, is that at their centre is the idea of
freedom—specifically, of women wanting to create their own destiny.

YOU KNOW what youre getting when you open a book by Malcolm Gladwell.
It will centre around a modestly counterintuitive argument: being huge
and strong is often a disadvantage, for instance, or talent and genius
are overrated. Evidence for this thesis will be broken into around ten
chapters, each containing a combination of briskly written reportage,
historical anecdote and social science that draws out unexpected
connectionsbetween, for instance, Lawrence of Arabia and a girls
basketball team, or a high-achieving school district and the
wild-cheetah population. Readers will finish the book feeling better
informed about how the world works.

Moving Bricks: Money-Laundering Practices in the Online Scam Industry
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=70967&nl=daily]
Jingjing invited me to her office and asked me to wait for her to
finish work before we headed out to dinner together.[1] At the time,
she was working in a third-party payment company—what, in the jargon
of the money-laundering industry, is known as a ‘gateway’ (通道,
tongdao). Like another similar enterprise I had previously visited,
their premises was in a dozen hotel rooms above a casino in
Sihanoukville that were rented monthly. The managers had replaced the
beds with desks and now the business was up and running. As I sat on
the couch waiting for Jingjing, the office was filled with the rapid
and frequent tapping of keyboards and the constant notification alerts
of new Telegram messages. It felt like I had entered the trading hall
of a traditional stock exchange, but the work being performed here was
very different. The job of Jingjing and her colleagues was to match
the right buyers (‘clients’, 客户) and sellers (‘account
providers’, 账户供应商) and facilitate transactions in exchange
for a commission.

Long-distance space travel can wreak havoc on human health. There’s

psychological toll of isolation and confinement. Research on identical
twin astronauts has also revealed a slew of genetic changes that
happen when a person spends a year in space.That’s why some
bioethicists are exploring the idea of radical treatments for future
astronauts. Once we’ve figured out all the health impacts of space
travel, they argue, we should edit the genomes of astronauts ahead of
launch to offer them the best protection. Some have even suggested
this might result in the creation of an all-new species: Homo
spatialis.

align with our mission. For example, we are already working with DARPA
to spur the creation of new cybersecurity tools to secure open source
software that critical infrastructure and industry depend on. It was
not clear whether these beneficial use cases would have been allowed
under “military” in our previous policies. So the goal with our
policy update is to provide clarity and the ability to have these
discussions.
