It takes constant reinvention to make sure our efforts, career paths,
and viability as valuable members of organizations, communities and
disciplines continues throughout our career. To better imagine the
second half of your career — whether it’s in the job you’re
currently doing or something new entirely — you need to engage in
the continuous sharing and re-purposing of your experience, passion,
and expertise to create a platform of thought leadership around
yourself. By becoming a recognized expert in your chosen domain or
discipline you can attract new opportunities and career directions. To
do this, the author recommends focusing on five core concepts:
entrepreneurialism; self-confidence; continuous learning; continuous
improvement; and reinvention.

How extreme weather will affect the insurance and energy sectors

When Storm Isha hit Northern Ireland and northern Britain in January
2024, wind gusts of almost 100mph caused widespread damage to
property. This strong extra-tropical cyclone also influenced both the
insurance and energy sectors. Isha resulted in damages which required
the insurance industry to pay out approximately €500 million (£427
million).
That’s a significant financial impact, yet considerably smaller than
some previous extreme weather events, such as Storm Lothar which
affected much larger regions of Europe with losses of nearly €10
billion.

How do I keep my fruit, veggies and herbs fresh longer? Are there any
'hacks'?

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=6637&nl=daily]
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=6637&nl=daily]
We all know fresh produce is good for us, but fruit, vegetables and
herbs have a tendency to perish quickly if left uneaten.
This is because even after harvesting, produce from living plants
tends to continue its biological processes. This includes respiration:
producing energy from stored carbohydrates, proteins and fats while
releasing carbon dioxide and water vapour. (Ever found a sprouting
potato in your pantry?)

In the pantheon of Renaissance art, Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa
stands as an unrivalled icon. This half-length portrait is more than
just an artistic masterpiece; it embodies the allure of an era marked
by unparalleled cultural flourishing.
Yet, beneath the surface of the Mona Lisa’s elusive smile lies a
debate that touches the very essence of the Renaissance, its politics
and the role of women in history.

It’s a Saturday afternoon at a kids’ birthday party. Hordes of
children are swarming between the spread of birthday treats and party
games. Half-eaten cupcakes, biscuits and lollies litter the floor, and
the kids seem to have gained superhuman speed and bounce-off-the-wall
energy. But is sugar to blame?
The belief that eating sugary foods and drinks leads to hyperactivity
has steadfastly persisted for decades. And parents have curtailed
their children’s intake accordingly.

When Taylor Swift picks a country to “Shake It Off”, it might help
the nation’s economy to shake off the impacts of the global economic

Since the World Bank announced the possibility of a global recession
in its 2022 report, fears that the world will experience an extended
period of economic contraction has plagued many countries.

A devastating landslide struck several remote villages in the
mountainous Enga province in Papua New Guinea late last week.
While it is too early for official confirmation, estimates place the
death toll between 690 and 2,000 people, with thousands more missing.
That only a few bodies have been recovered serves as a tragic reminder
of the destructive power of these events.

With the arrival of spring, a timeless ritual begins anew: male birds
fill the air with song, seeking to attract mates and defend their
territories from other competing males.
But there is a lot we still don’t understand about how birds learn
which sounds to sing. Our latest study offers new insights and
suggests genes may play a more important role than scientists
realised.

Modern life relies on electricity and electrical devices, from cars
and buses to phones and laptops, to the electrical systems in homes.
Behind many of these devices is a type of energy storage device, the
supercapacitor. My team of engineers is working on making these
supercapacitors even better at storing energy by studying how they
store energy at the nanoscale.
Supercapacitors, like batteries, are energy storage devices. They
charge faster than batteries, often in a few seconds to a minute, but
generally store less energy. They’re used in devices that require
storing or supplying a burst of energy over a short span of time. In
your car and in elevators, they can help recover energy during braking
to slow down. They help meet fluctuating energy demand in laptops and
cameras, and they stabilize the energy loads in electrical grids.

Back in March 2022, Disney’s then-CEO Bob Chapek said that his
company wouldn’t take a public stand on Florida’s so-called
“Don’t Say Gay” bill. Four days later, he yielded to rebukes
from LGBTQ employees, reversed his decision and criticized the bill
publicly.
In the ensuing political firestorm, the state of Florida revoked
Disney’s 55-year-old favored tax and regulatory status, sparking
legal disputes that lasted well into 2024. Chapek, deeply weakened,
was fired not long after the controversy broke, in November 2022.

May is Asian and Pacific American Heritage Month, a time when
Americans celebrate the profound contributions of Asian Americans and
Pacific Islanders – a group that is commonly abbreviated as AAPI –
to U.S. society. It’s also a time to acknowledge the complexity of
AAPI experience.
And as a professor who studies equity and inclusion in business, I
think the focus on AAPI communities this month provides an excellent
occasion to push back against a stereotype that has long
misrepresented and marginalized a diverse range of people: the myth of
the “model minority.”

The TV dramatisation of the UK Horizon Post Office scandal evoked
outrage and disbelief. However, as another example of dysfunctional
organisational behaviour, it was expected rather than exceptional.
The Post Office saga joins a long list of cover-ups or scandals that
includes Hillsborough, Enron, Grenfell, the infected blood scandal,
the Tuam babies scandal in the Republic of Ireland, Boeing 737 Max and
Nasa (Columbia space shuttle). They represent what happens when there
is a move within organisations and institutions to cover up the causes
of a tragedy.

Zombie fires in the Arctic smoulder underground and refuse to die -
what's causing them?

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=6637&nl=daily]
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=6637&nl=daily]
So-called “zombie fires” in the peatlands of Alaska, Canada and
Siberia disappear from the Earth’s surface and smoulder underground
during the winter before coming back to life the following spring.
These fires puzzle scientists because they appear in early May, way
ahead of the usual fire season in the far north, and can reignite for
a number of years.
Reports of such fires date back to 1940s, when they were rare events.
However, the frequency and intensity of these fires has increased
significantly in the past two decades, hand in hand with accelerated
warming in the Arctic, the fastest-warming region on the planet.

The election has commenced and the race is on – to amass as many
likes, shares and comments as possible. Digital campaigning,
particularly through social media, is now a key part of political
candidates’ communication toolkit.
In fact, every general election campaign since 1997 has at some point
been lauded as the first to make effective use of digital campaigning.
But it was in 2015 that David Cameron’s campaign first made
strategic use of social media to drive an election victory.

The London-born Italian teenager Carlo Acutis is likely to become the
first “millennial saint” after two miracles attributed to him were
recognised by Pope Francis.
Spending most of his life in Milan, Acutis was an incredibly devout
Catholic who went on regular pilgrimages across Europe. He had a
desire to attend mass daily and regularly pray the rosary – but he
also loved playing video games and teaching himself computer coding
and animation.

Since 2010, five and six year-old children in England have been taught
to read using a particular variant of “systematic phonics”.
“Phonics” describes methods of teaching reading that emphasise
teaching how phonemes – the smallest sounds in the words of oral
language – are represented by letters. In England the type of
phonics teaching is best described as “narrow synthetic phonics”.

Donald Trump. A further 36% think the COVID-19 pandemic was

My friend is Muslim, her husband Jewish. They were married under a
Jewish wedding canopy made from the groom’s bar mitzvah prayer shawl
– which, his mother announced to the assembled guests, had been made
in India, the bride’s parents’ country of origin. The bride wore a
red wedding sari. The groom’s mother read and explained the seven
blessings of a Jewish wedding; the bride’s mother read from the
Quran and then provided an English translation.
The bride and groom sipped from the same cup of wine, as one does at a
Jewish wedding. But knowing that I was writing about her wedding for
my book on interfaith marriages, the bride pulled me aside in between
the ceremony and the photos. They had replaced the traditional wine
with white grape juice, she told me – nonalcoholic in deference to
the fact that she is Muslim; white out of fear of staining the wedding
finery before the photos.

Policymaking, a process by which governments make decisions about how
to address social issues, is shaped by various factors, such as the
political climate, socioeconomic conditions and cultural and
historical backgrounds.
Some factors are obvious, others not. Often, policy is made by groups
of people working together – advocates, regular citizens, lobbyists,
lawmakers.

Commentators and observers are concerned about the possibility of a
tie in the November 2024 presidential election. One possibility is
that both major-party candidates end up with 269 electoral votes –
one short of the 270 required to claim victory. Another scenario is
that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who appears to be attracting significant
interest from the voters, collects a few electoral votes, preventing
Biden or Trump from reaching the magic 270.
But then what? In recent decades, election ties have happened all over
the country and have been resolved through bizarre, often comical
procedures. The common feature of these methods is that the people’s
wishes play no part in them. The voters are entirely removed from what
is supposed to be a democratic process.

In Zimbabwe, there is a long held public view that queerness is
“unAfrican” and imported to Africa from the west. Even though
numerous studies have proven this not to be true, reiterations of this
lie by the state has led many to believe that lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ+) people cannot be Zimbabwean.

Pro-Russian breakaway region Transnistria shows limits of domino

On 28 February, the leader of Moldova’s breakaway region of
Transnistria, Vadim Krasnoselski, held the Seventh Congress of
Deputies to discuss the implications of Moldova’s latest customs
duties on Transnistrian businesses. His calls for Russia’s
protection in response to Moldova’s “economic strangulation”
sparked fear in many international observers of an imminent
integration of the region into Russia, and even of a new frontline in
Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Far from the international uproar, reactions on the domestic front
were much more measured. Valeriu Pașa, president of one of the main
think tanks in Chisinau, Watchdog, suggested that this Congress
appeared more like a manoeuvre aimed at influencing public opinion.
Meanwhile, in March Modolva’s vice-prime minister tasked with the
mission of reintegrating Transnistria, Oleg Serebrian, sought to allay
anxieties:

Fears that English is 'disappearing' in England are misplaced -
history shows the island has always been multilingual

A common lament among those opposed to immigration is that “in many
parts of England, you don’t hear English spoken any more”. But it
has never been the case that English was the only language spoken on
this island.
Old English, the earliest ancestor of the modern English language, was
a relative newcomer to Britain. Its speakers, the Anglo-Saxons, came
from different regions across what is now northern Germany to an
island where many Celtic languages were spoken alongside Latin – a
legacy of southern Britain’s time as a Roman colony. The Old English
language was initially joined by other Germanic languages including
Old Norse and Frisian.

An ear is like an iceberg – much of it is out of sight. The only
visible part is the auricle – the seashell shaped structure made of
bendy cartilage, covered in skin. Its main role is to act as a
trumpet, filtering and funnelling sound waves down into the middle,
then the inner ear, where they are converted into our sense of
hearing.
A medical ear examination usually involves an inspection of the canal,
using an instrument called an otoscope. This is usually to investigate
more common ear conditions – an infection, or a clog of wax.

When Storm Isha hit Northern Ireland and northern Britain in January
2024, wind gusts of almost 100mph caused widespread damage to
property. This strong extra-tropical cyclone also influenced both the
insurance and energy sectors. Isha resulted in damages which required
the insurance industry to pay out approximately €500 million (£427
million).
That’s a significant financial impact, yet considerably smaller than
some previous extreme weather events, such as Storm Lothar which
affected much larger regions of Europe with losses of nearly €10
billion.

How do I keep my fruit, veggies and herbs fresh longer? Are there any

We all know fresh produce is good for us, but fruit, vegetables and
herbs have a tendency to perish quickly if left uneaten.
This is because even after harvesting, produce from living plants
tends to continue its biological processes. This includes respiration:
producing energy from stored carbohydrates, proteins and fats while
releasing carbon dioxide and water vapour. (Ever found a sprouting
potato in your pantry?)

games. Half-eaten cupcakes, biscuits and lollies litter the floor, and
the kids seem to have gained superhuman speed and bounce-off-the-wall

The belief that eating sugary foods and drinks leads to hyperactivity
has steadfastly persisted for decades. And parents have curtailed
their children’s intake accordingly.

Modern life relies on electricity and electrical devices, from cars
and buses to phones and laptops, to the electrical systems in homes.
Behind many of these devices is a type of energy storage device, the
supercapacitor. My team of engineers is working on making these
supercapacitors even better at storing energy by studying how they
store energy at the nanoscale.
Supercapacitors, like batteries, are energy storage devices. They
charge faster than batteries, often in a few seconds to a minute, but
generally store less energy. They’re used in devices that require
storing or supplying a burst of energy over a short span of time. In
your car and in elevators, they can help recover energy during braking
to slow down. They help meet fluctuating energy demand in laptops and
cameras, and they stabilize the energy loads in electrical grids.

And as a professor who studies equity and inclusion in business, I
think the focus on AAPI communities this month provides an excellent
occasion to push back against a stereotype that has long
misrepresented and marginalized a diverse range of people: the myth of

Zombie fires in the Arctic smoulder underground and refuse to die -
what's causing them?

So-called “zombie fires” in the peatlands of Alaska, Canada and
Siberia disappear from the Earth’s surface and smoulder underground
during the winter before coming back to life the following spring.
These fires puzzle scientists because they appear in early May, way
ahead of the usual fire season in the far north, and can reignite for
a number of years.
Reports of such fires date back to 1940s, when they were rare events.
However, the frequency and intensity of these fires has increased
significantly in the past two decades, hand in hand with accelerated
warming in the Arctic, the fastest-warming region on the planet.

But it was in 2015 that David Cameron’s campaign first made

The London-born Italian teenager Carlo Acutis is likely to become the
first “millennial saint” after two miracles attributed to him were
recognised by Pope Francis.
Spending most of his life in Milan, Acutis was an incredibly devout
Catholic who went on regular pilgrimages across Europe. He had a
desire to attend mass daily and regularly pray the rosary – but he
also loved playing video games and teaching himself computer coding
and animation.

Since 2010, five and six year-old children in England have been taught
to read using a particular variant of “systematic phonics”.
“Phonics” describes methods of teaching reading that emphasise
teaching how phonemes – the smallest sounds in the words of oral
language – are represented by letters. In England the type of
phonics teaching is best described as “narrow synthetic phonics”.

What if I were to tell you that the US government and media is
controlled by a secret cabal of devil-worshippers who are organising
the mass kidnapping of children? Well, according to a recent poll, 17%
of Americans believe this to be the case.
Another 30% believe the 2020 US presidential election was stolen from
Donald Trump. A further 36% think the COVID-19 pandemic was
intentionally planned by a global elite.

For American Jews, interfaith weddings are a new normal - and

My friend is Muslim, her husband Jewish. They were married under a
Jewish wedding canopy made from the groom’s bar mitzvah prayer shawl
– which, his mother announced to the assembled guests, had been made
in India, the bride’s parents’ country of origin. The bride wore a
red wedding sari. The groom’s mother read and explained the seven
blessings of a Jewish wedding; the bride’s mother read from the
Quran and then provided an English translation.
The bride and groom sipped from the same cup of wine, as one does at a
Jewish wedding. But knowing that I was writing about her wedding for
my book on interfaith marriages, the bride pulled me aside in between
the ceremony and the photos. They had replaced the traditional wine
with white grape juice, she told me – nonalcoholic in deference to
the fact that she is Muslim; white out of fear of staining the wedding
finery before the photos.

Policymaking, a process by which governments make decisions about how
to address social issues, is shaped by various factors, such as the
political climate, socioeconomic conditions and cultural and
historical backgrounds.
Some factors are obvious, others not. Often, policy is made by groups
of people working together – advocates, regular citizens, lobbyists,
lawmakers.

Americans break election ties in crazy ways - and jeopardize democracy

Commentators and observers are concerned about the possibility of a
tie in the November 2024 presidential election. One possibility is
that both major-party candidates end up with 269 electoral votes –
one short of the 270 required to claim victory. Another scenario is
that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who appears to be attracting significant
interest from the voters, collects a few electoral votes, preventing
Biden or Trump from reaching the magic 270.
But then what? In recent decades, election ties have happened all over
the country and have been resolved through bizarre, often comical
procedures. The common feature of these methods is that the people’s
wishes play no part in them. The voters are entirely removed from what
is supposed to be a democratic process.

Four years later, White accepted the endorsement of the Minnesota GOP
in the state’s 2024 U.S. Senate race.
In the interim, White had appeared on the show of conspiracy theorist
Alex Jones, where he decried the “establishment” and
“corporatocracy.” While on Steve Bannon’s “War Room”
podcast, he complained that women “had become too mouthy.”
Elsewhere, he lambasted the LGBTQ+ movement as “Luciferian” and
described Israel as the vanguard of a “new world order.”

University of Fort Hare provides support as an endorsing partner of
The Conversation AFRICA.
In Zimbabwe, there is a long held public view that queerness is
“unAfrican” and imported to Africa from the west. Even though
numerous studies have proven this not to be true, reiterations of this
lie by the state has led many to believe that lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ+) people cannot be Zimbabwean.

On 28 February, the leader of Moldova’s breakaway region of
Transnistria, Vadim Krasnoselski, held the Seventh Congress of
Deputies to discuss the implications of Moldova’s latest customs
duties on Transnistrian businesses. His calls for Russia’s
protection in response to Moldova’s “economic strangulation”
sparked fear in many international observers of an imminent
integration of the region into Russia, and even of a new frontline in
Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Far from the international uproar, reactions on the domestic front
were much more measured. Valeriu Pașa, president of one of the main
think tanks in Chisinau, Watchdog, suggested that this Congress
appeared more like a manoeuvre aimed at influencing public opinion.
Meanwhile, in March Modolva’s vice-prime minister tasked with the
mission of reintegrating Transnistria, Oleg Serebrian, sought to allay
anxieties:

Fears that English is 'disappearing' in England are misplaced -
history shows the island has always been multilingual

A common lament among those opposed to immigration is that “in many
parts of England, you don’t hear English spoken any more”. But it
has never been the case that English was the only language spoken on
this island.
Old English, the earliest ancestor of the modern English language, was
a relative newcomer to Britain. Its speakers, the Anglo-Saxons, came
from different regions across what is now northern Germany to an
island where many Celtic languages were spoken alongside Latin – a
legacy of southern Britain’s time as a Roman colony. The Old English
language was initially joined by other Germanic languages including
Old Norse and Frisian.

An ear is like an iceberg – much of it is out of sight. The only
visible part is the auricle – the seashell shaped structure made of
bendy cartilage, covered in skin. Its main role is to act as a
trumpet, filtering and funnelling sound waves down into the middle,
then the inner ear, where they are converted into our sense of
hearing.
A medical ear examination usually involves an inspection of the canal,
using an instrument called an otoscope. This is usually to investigate
more common ear conditions – an infection, or a clog of wax.

might be the first time it could actually stick.
Recall leverages changes Microsoft made to Windows 11 to accommodate
Arm chips, along with the Neural Processing Unit (NPU) inside those
chips, to catalog, “understand” (as much as any AI can), and make
searchable, everything that happens on your PC. Everything from your
