You’ve probably seen the word mindfulness everywhere these days,
from the news, to magazines, to social media.

Mindfulness is sometimes packaged as a mental health cure-all, and
studies do suggest that mindfulness-based therapies support mental
health. Your friends or family may even have told you that mindfulness
has changed their lives.

With a population of just 193,000, Curaçao surpasses all other
nations likely due to a combination of factors. This includes an
influx of over one million tourist arrivals in 2022, competitive
mobile data plans, and a low penetration of fixed-line
telecommunication systems and broadband internet.

For instance, in 2021, just 28 out of 100 people used fixed-line
networks, while 88 out of 100 people used cellular-mobile services.
Furthermore, the country boasts among the fastest and most reliable
internet connections in the Caribbean thanks to its concentration of
data centers and fiber optic cable infrastructure.

The first episode of Seinfeld aired in 1989. Thirty-five years later,
the show remains at the apex of American culture. People speak in
Seinfeld-isms. They flirt on dating apps over Seinfeld. They rewatch
old episodes of Seinfeld when they’re feeling down. Or, in the case
of the Weiss family, for no reason at all: my dad still watches reruns
every night from 11 p.m. to 12 a.m. on the local Pittsburgh station
before he goes to sleep.

It was supposedly a show about nothing, but that’s what made it so
universal. Everyone can relate to trying to find your car in a parking
garage. Everyone knows the feeling when your book is overdue at the
library and you don’t want to pay the fee. Everyone understands the
frustration of waiting for a table at a restaurant. Everyone—or at
least half of the population—has dealt with the issue of shrinkage.

If the trend in academic life for the past few decades has been to
skim hundreds of pages per day and then pick apart the past, Brooks
wants to do something old-school that feels radical: he wants his
students to absorb no more than fifty pages a week and see the big
picture. And he’s doing it by bucking another trend: he’s
embracing great men (and women).

And his message is resonating. When Brooks first debuted his elective
course, “The Art of Statesmanship and the Political Life,” in the
spring of 2023, just forty kids enrolled. This spring, more than 250
signed up, making it one of the most popular classes that semester,
alongside major requirements like Introduction to Computer Science.

The Third Thumb is worn on the opposite side of the palm to the
biological thumb and controlled by a pressure sensor placed under each
big toe or foot. Pressure from the right toe pulls the Thumb across
the hand, while the pressure exerted with the left toe pulls the Thumb
up toward the fingers. The extent of the Thumb’s movement is
proportional to the pressure applied, and releasing pressure moves it
back to its original position.

Over the course of five days, the team tested 596 participants,
ranging in age from three to 96 years old and from a wide range of
demographic backgrounds. Of these, only four were unable to use the
Third Thumb, either because it did not fit their hand securely, or
because they were unable to control it with their feet (the pressure
sensors developed specifically for the exhibition were not suitable
for very lightweight children).

Around 8% of human DNA is made up of genetic sequences acquired from
ancient viruses. These sequences, known as human endogenous
retroviruses (or Hervs), date back hundreds of thousands to millions
of years — with some even predating the emergence of Homo sapiens.

Our latest research suggests that some ancient viral DNA sequences in
the human genome play a role in susceptibility to psychiatric
disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major
depressive disorder.

So-called “zombie fires” in the peatlands of Alaska, Canada, and

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.

Malawi is heading towards a severe food crisis later this year.
Drought brought on by the El Niño weather pattern has affected the
harvest of maize, the staple food grown by nine out of 10 farming
households in the country.

The government declared a state of disaster in March as the country
entered its dry season with very low food stocks. Malawi consumes
around 3.5 million tonnes of maize every year, but only 2.9 million
tonnes will be harvested according to government estimates – a
shortfall of 600,000 tonnes.

There are many reasons for this, including poverty, reliability of

In April, as part of Budget 2024, the federal government announced its

Caregiving Strategy.” But what does this mean for Canadians?

Although still in the consultative stage, a national caregiving
strategy could transform the Canadian care economy and improve the
lives of caregivers. Most importantly, a national caregiving strategy
will set a standard for services and supports available to Canadian
family caregivers, as well as the working environment of paid care
workers. This will reduce the inequity of current supports and
services across provinces and territories.

When Paramount greenlit a third Star Trek film the day after the
second one opened in 1982, there was really only one goal: bring back
Spock, whose noble sacrifice at the end of The Wrath of Khan sent
shockwaves throughout pop culture. It was an audacious and emotional
demise that fit perfectly with the operatic melodrama of Nicholas
Meyer’s film. In fact, it was so dramatic, it felt incomplete
without Spock’s grieving friends carrying out a daring,
Federation-defying, friendship-first mission to take advantage of
cosmic convolutions and resurrect him.

Spock’s blend of calming reason and alien strangeness defined Star
Trek more than any captain; he sees the galaxy differently than his
crewmates, both with scientific acumen and a curiosity about his own
imaginative inabilities. The character was carefully balanced by
placing contrasting personalities around him, so it’s fitting that
his absence in 1984’s The Search for Spock, directed by Leonard
Nimoy, feels like a loss of galactic proportions.

When it was announced that Ncuti Gatwa was cast as the 15th Doctor, it
marked an exciting new era for Doctor Who. For the first time, the BBC
show was led by a Black actor — a huge historic achievement for the
British cultural fixture which had, over the course of its 60-year
run, a questionable pedigree when it came to depicting minorities, to
say the least.

The antiquated depictions of Aztecs and unfortunate use of yellowface
from the show’s Classic era are better left forgotten, but the
show’s modern era made great strides in terms of representation.
However, it’s never quite been able to sensitively address topics
like race head-on. In Season 3, the show’s first Black companion
Martha Jones’ (Freema Agyeman) concerns about traveling to the past
were mostly brushed aside, while in the Season 11 episode “Rosa,”
where the Doctor and her companions met Rosa Parks, the show’s
well-intentioned attempts to tackle racism in ‘60s America came
across as heavy-handed and clumsy. But with Gatwa now the show’s
protagonist, Doctor Who couldn’t avoid the topic.

With shades of Blade Runner and other sci-fi classics, Immortal
Warrior pushes the limits of sci-fi animation.

Soccer remains popular in Brazil in the year 2096, but plenty has
changed. Rio de Janeiro is an enclosed fortress controlled by a
private militia whose main task is to prevent an uprising. The divide
between the haves and the have-nots now centers on access to water.
The precious liquid has become a high-value commodity, forcing poor
citizens to drink contaminated ocean water to survive. The wealthier
you are, the cleaner your water.

2024's Biggest Summer Blockbusters Reveal a Troubling Truth About
Hollywood's Priorities

It's been a weird year for movies. The first five months of 2024 have
delivered only a few mainstream releases in films like Challengers,
Dune: Part Two, The Fall Guy, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, and
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. While all garnered largely positive responses
from those who saw them, several struggled to generate traction at the
box office. Furiosa and The Fall Guy, in particular, performed well
below their early box office expectations, despite positive reviews.

As a result, 2024 has proven to be a significantly better year for TV
than film. Over the past five months, great dramas like Baby Reindeer,
Shogun, X-Men '97, and Fallout have grown into breakout hits, while
shows like Ripley, The Sympathizer, Monsieur Spade, and Mr. & Mrs.
Smith have justifiably received some of the year’s best reviews.
With this in mind, it makes sense that Disney, Warner Bros., and
Amazon have bet the future of some of their biggest franchises on a
trio of TV shows premiering this summer.
