Entering a foreign market comes with inherent challenges. Many global
companies tend to overcome those challenges by minimizing their
foreignness and assimilating into the local environments. However,
maintaining and embracing foreignness can yield unforeseen advantages.
Whether capitalizing on outsider status to tap into local labor
markets, establishing potent associations to build credibility, or
forging strategic partnerships to foster mutual international growth,
your foreignness can indeed become your competitive edge. By embracing
a nuanced approach that acknowledges and leverages foreignness,
companies can not only navigate but thrive in unfamiliar territories.

During the Cold War, a heated debate arose over the role of economic
planning. Did the “planned” economy of the USSR or the “free
market” economy of the U.S. allocate resources more productively?

Arguments against planned economies centered on the limits of
information processing, the feasibility of production forecasts and
the inflexibility of centralized plans.

An AI tool for predicting protein shapes could be transformative for

An advanced algorithm that has been developed by Google DeepMind has

the “instruction code” in their building blocks. The latest
upgrade has recently been released. The latest upgrade has recently

Proteins are essential parts of living organisms and take part in
virtually every process in cells. But their shapes are often complex,
and they are difficult to visualise. So being able to predict their 3D
structures offers windows into the processes inside living things,
including humans.

Stevie Wonder's Ghanaian citizenship reflects long-standing links
between African Americans and the continent
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=8402&nl=daily]    
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=8402&nl=daily]

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=8402&nl=daily]
There’s a long history of African Americans settling in Ghana or
keeping in close contact with the first African country to gain
independence. This relationship has most recently been exemplified by
musician Stevie Wonder taking up Ghanaian citizenship.

Ghana, which gained independence in 1957, became a beacon for African
Americans disenchanted with their country’s racial problems.
Ghana’s first prime minister, the pan-Africanist Kwame Nkrumah, was
notable for forging links between Africans on the continent and those
in the African diaspora.

African countries could unlock billions in local and global trade -

Africa’s share of global trade remains disproportionately small,
hovering around 2%-3%. Countries on the continent trade more with the
rest of the world than they do among themselves. Africa needs to
improve its share of trade to boost growth and reduce poverty.

Aid for Trade is a development initiative that seeks to remove
barriers to trade facing developing countries. International trade and
development economics professor Bedassa Tadesse, who recently co-wrote
a paper on Aid for Trade, unpacks what the initiative is doing to
solve Africa’s trade problems.

South Africa’s election on May 29 was an endurance test for the
public. Queues snaked around polling stations, with voters standing in
line for up to six or seven hours. Some only finally cast their votes
at 3am the following morning.

The ANC’s share has declined by 15 percentage points since the last
general election in 2019, when it took 57.5% of the vote. This will
leave President Cyril Ramaphosa without a parliamentary majority and
in need of coalition allies for the ANC to continue to govern.

Kafka 100: Stanley Kubrick's films are littered with references to the

Kubrick was born in 1928 and in the decade that followed, Kafka’s
work began to appear in English. Kubrick became an avid reader of
Kafka’s fiction and later named him “the greatest writer of the
century, and the most misread”. “People who used the word
‘Kafkaesque’ had probably never read Kafka”, he told his friend
the journalist Michael Herr.

Later, when publicising his film A Clockwork Orange in 1972, Kubrick
compared himself to the author: “I have a wife, three children,
three dogs, seven cats. I’m not a Franz Kafka, sitting alone and
suffering.” It was an interesting comparison, one that suggested
more parallels than it dispelled.

An Israeli airstrike on the refugee encampment at Tal al-Sultan, in
the Gaza Strip, resulted in the death of at least 45 Palestinian
civilians on the night of May 26, 2024. It is a matter of dispute in
this case as to whether the attack was deliberately intended to target
civilians. A week before, however, the International Criminal Court
charged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with the intentional
targeting of civilians in the course of the conflict in Gaza; such
targeting is a war crime under international law.

The ICC’s document, however, also charged three leaders of Hamas
with war crimes and crimes against humanity, including murder, torture
and the taking of hostages, during the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks.

Waves are ubiquitous in nature and technology. Whether it’s the rise
and fall of ocean tides or the swinging of a clock’s pendulum, the
predictable rhythms of waves create a signal that is easy to track and
distinguish from other types of signals.

Electronic devices use radio waves to send and receive data, like your
laptop and Wi-Fi router or cellphone and cell tower. Similarly,
scientists can use a different type of wave to transmit a different
type of data: signals from the invisible processes and dynamics
underlying how cells make decisions.

No. Only two out of three internships offer compensation for students

institutions, where 50% of internships are unpaid.

Given the rising cost of college tuition, growing income inequality
and the cost-of-living crisis in big cities where many internships are
located, we contend that reliance on unpaid internships is untenable.

People have been using salt since the dawn of civilization to process,
preserve and enhance foods. In ancient Rome, salt was so central to
commerce that soldiers were paid their “salarium,” or salaries, in
salt, for instance.

Salt’s value was in part as a food preservative, keeping unwanted
microbes at bay while allowing desired ones to grow. It was this
remarkable ability to regulate bacterial growth that likely helped
spark the development of fermented foods ranging from sauerkraut to
salami, olives to bread, cheese to kimchi.

These “forever chemicals” – so-called because they don’t

applications since the 1950s. They can repel water and oil, resist
high temperatures and act as “surfactants” by helping different
