Elephant Greeting Ceremonies are More Complex Than They Look -

Saying “hi” can be complicated. That greeting’s meaning can be
altered by the tone of your voice, the tilt of your head, your eye
contact, and whether and how you raise and wave your hand. And the
nature of a hand wave could differ if it’s directed toward one
person, a group, someone new, or someone familiar.It turns out that
greetings — and communication in general — by elephants is equally
nuanced. Over the past few decades, researchers have explored three
“C’s” of elephant communication: combinations, complexity, and
context. Careful elephant observations — both in the field and in
zoos — has helped researchers compile an ethography — a
description of various behaviors and sounds the large mammals make and
what they appear to mean.

If another area opened up without the competition of another human
group, then it’s most likely that humans would go and explore that
new area. There were no borders or countries, it was just about
survival at all costs, says Pagani. Leaving the continent of Africa
would likely have been just about moving into another territory.It’s
likely that early humans would have left Africa in groups made up of a
few dozen people through the Nile River corridor, which although it
was arid, was always adjacent to a reliable water source. We also
can’t rule out, says Pagani, that they reached Europe through the
Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a strip of land that connects the Red Sea with
the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean.

Called methylene chloride, the chemical was recently banned for
industrial use by the Environmental Protection Agency, due to the fact
that it can cause certain cancers, as well as neurotoxicity, liver
damage, and sometimes death. “There are alternatives,” says Jaclyn
Bowen, the executive director of the Clean Label Project, a nonprofit
organization that is advocating for replacing the use of methylene
chloride to decaffeinate coffee with other options.These include
methylene chloride, which is also called the European method, and is
the most widely used method; ethyl acetate, which is sometimes called
the “natural solvent,” due to the fact that it is present in a
number of fruits, such as bananas and sugarcane; the Swiss water
method, which uses hot water to extract the caffeine; and the carbon
dioxide method, which uses liquid carbon dioxide. Depending on the
method, this can affect the taste, as well as the chemical composition
of the coffee.

If he is to win, Keir Starmer, the Labour Party leader, must pull off
a voting shift greater even than that achieved by his mentor Tony
Blair in 1997, the last time their party seized power. Yet such is the
calamitous state of the Conservatives that after 14 years of misrule,
a victory for Labour has been pretty much priced in for the election
on July 4.The only question is how great a majority it will achieve
and whether that can produce a buffer large enough to keep it in power
for a decade at least to tackle Britain’s many woes—from the
economy to the health service, education, social care, and failed
privatizations such as the postal service and water. Indeed, pretty
much every area of public infrastructure needs repair.

Although it isn’t yet a law, the BIOSECURE Act is already making
waves in the biotech industry — as evidenced by some notable shifts
at this week’s BIO International Convention in San Diego. STAT’s
Jonathan Wosen and I were on site, and found that, with the possible
blacklisting of certain Chinese suppliers looming, biotechs are
scrambling to find alternatives to manufacturers like WuXi. Meantime,
an executive at one U.S.-based CDMO said “month to month, new
business has gone through the roof.”“Our customers are mainly
small biotechs, and they’re very worried about whether they’ll be
able to afford the U.S. CDMOs,” one China-based CDMO employee said.
“They’re worried about backlogs, since the U.S. companies are
suddenly so busy. My customers are telling me they’re already
waiting in line to get a slot, in case we are put on the BIOSECURE
list next.”

For years, the staff writer Jennifer Gonnerman has reported on the
case of Eric Smokes and David Warren. When they were teen-agers in
Brooklyn, in 1987, Smokes and Warren were convicted of second-degree
murder during the mugging of a tourist; the papers called them “the
Times Square Two.” It was the testimony of another teen-ager, James
Walker, who received a reduced sentence in a separate case for his
coöperation, that sent them to prison. Ever since, Warren and Smokes
have protested their innocence, and Walker later acknowledged that he
had lied. But in requesting parole, after years in prison, the two men
had to take responsibility for their crime, and four years ago, a
judge denied their appeal. Gonnerman tells the story of their long
fight for justice, and how it finally came to pass.© 2024 Condé

"Flipside" Is a Treasure Trove of Music and Memory - The New Yorker

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=13604&nl=daily]
Chris Wilcha's new documentary, "Flipside," is easy to summarize, but
it defies summary nonetheless, because it advances by a lurching,
associative method that leaves fault lines on the surface of its
unity. Feeling stuck in a rut, Wilcha, a successful director of TV
commercials, starts shooting a documentary about a record store in
suburban New Jersey, Flipside Records, where he worked as a teen-ager,
in the nineteen-eighties. From this slender premise, he develops a
breezy but prodigious memory piece, encompassing his family
background, his artistic obsessions, and his adventures in the movie
business."Flipside" is stuffed with footage from Wilcha's voluminous
video archives, a trove that he explores to reveal its deeply personal
implications. The work is built of fragments, and Wilcha introduces
them in a wryly deceptive way. At the start, the movie seems to be a
documentary about Herman Leonard, a photographer best known for his
images of jazz musicians. His 1948 picture of Dexter Gordon musing
amid a cloud of cigarette smoke is now a widely acknowledged highlight
of jazz iconography, yet his jazz photographs had their first
exhibition only in 1988, when he was in his sixties. When Wilcha
filmed Leonard, in 2010, the photographer was eighty-seven and his
work occupied pride of place in a big exhibit of jazz photography in
Los Angeles. Leonard was also dying of cancer, and Wilcha rushed to
shoot as much footage of him as possible.

How Much Worse Would a Bird-Flu Pandemic Be? - The Atlantic (No

Our most recent flu pandemic—2009’s H1N1 “swine flu”—was, in
absolute terms, a public-health crisis. By scientists’ best
estimates, roughly 200,000 to 300,000 people around the world died;
countless more fell sick. Kids, younger adults, and pregnant people
were hit especially hard.That said, it could have been far worse. Of
the known flu pandemics, 2009’s took the fewest lives; during the
H1N1 pandemic that preceded it, which began in 1918, a flu virus
infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide, at least 50
million of whom died. Even some recent seasonal flus have killed more
people than swine flu did. With swine flu, “we got lucky,” Seema
Lakdawala, a virologist at Emory University, told me. H5N1 avian flu,
which has been transmitting wildly among animals, has not yet spread
in earnest among humans. Should that change, though, the world’s
next flu pandemic might not afford us the same break.

If Only People Actually Believed These Trump-as-Jesus Memes - The

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=13604&nl=daily]
It would be simple to dispose of the matter this way: The meme makers
are wrong because Trump is guilty and Jesus was innocent. (In that
case, all that the meme makers are saying is that Trump is innocent.)
Or maybe they’re saying that Trump is factually guilty of what is
only a pretextual crime, meaning he did nothing morally wrong even
though he’s technically classed as a convicted criminal. Maybe the
whole thing is no more than trolling and nobody really cares about the
implications of conflating Trump and Jesus.Scripture certainly makes
that association plain. Jesus is said to have spent his time with
criminals and outsiders—people such as tax collectors, who were at
the time notorious thieves. Tradition holds that the apostle Mary
Magdalene was a former prostitute who found a place at Jesus’s right
hand. The prophecy that Christians believe Jesus carried out predicts
that the Messiah “will be numbered among the transgressors,” which
was evidently fulfilled in Jesus’s execution with two thieves at his
side, his death among the criminals. And in the narrative of the sheep
and the goats, Christ famously declares that the righteous will serve
him by serving others, saying, “I was hungry and you gave me
something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I
was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed
me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came
to visit me.” Jesus is especially close to those who need him.

Retailers might think that bigger discounts attract more customers.
But new research suggests that’s not always true. Sometimes, a
smaller discount that looks more precise — say 6.8% as compared to
7% — can make people think the deal won’t last long, and they’ll
buy more. In a series of nine experimental studies involving around
2,000 individuals considering online or retail purchases of a variety
of products, the authors found precise discount depths — the
difference between the original and sale price — can increase
purchase intentions by up to 21%.

Humans are good at inventing tools, but not as good at adapting to the
change these tools can cause. While there has been much focus on the
technical impacts and potential dark side of AI, the authors’
research has shown that AI can enhance and empower leadership,
actually helping make leaders more human. To do this, we need to
invest just as much in the development of our human potential as we do
in harnessing the power of AI. This means focusing on the core
leadership qualities of awareness, wisdom, and compassion, as well as
taking on a both/and mindset. The “AI-augmented leader” can
leverage both the power of AI and develop their most human qualities,
bringing the best of both human and machine to their leadership
practice.

While discretionary spending allocated to travel across American
households is not notably high, a 2024 Bank of America Summer Travel
Survey found, more than 70 percent of respondents indicated they are
planning summer travel. Gen Z and Millennials in particular indicated
they are planning to spend more and vacation longer compared to
previous years. The survey examined results from 2,010 adult
respondents in the U.S. Part of these spending habits indicate a
continued commitment to travel experiences, a post-pandemic change in
spending priorities, Deloitte reported. The number of young adults
planning to travel this summer is increasing. Bank of America found
that compared to other generations, Gen Z is planning international
trips, taking more vacations than prior years, taking longer trips,
and more expensive trips. Millennials are the second most likely to
have those priorities.

The rise of remote work and a 23-year high in interest rates more than
doubled the number of commercial real estate foreclosures in major
American cities in April from the total in early 2023. The debt
structure for the entire sector is under serious strain, too. Office
building loan delinquencies also leaped in May, hitting a 7 percent
rate, climbing from 4 percent a year ago.Adjustments to the office
property market mean some buildings are selling for a fraction of
their previous price, and one analyst says, "we're not at the bottom
yet." We take a closer look at how these market disruptions could
benefit business owners, who may not be buying their own buildings
quite yet, but can at least try to negotiate more favorable lease
terms.

I can’t recall the exact moment. It might have been during an AI
event that I attended last summer where a top union exec proclaimed
that she “prefers candles to electricity” in front of a cheering
crowd…or it might have been last fall, post-writer’s strike
resolution, when I warned that the challenges for Hollywood were not
over and someone on X (formerly Twitter) thoughtfully responded with
“Die AI Scum.” Or perhaps it was last month when the audience at a
SXSW panel with OpenAI loudly and frequently booed speakers who
professed any benefit of AI. But I do know that at some point during
that sequence of events, I realized the backlash to talk of AI in
Hollywood was no ordinary fear of a new technology. And in this case,
it’s a fear that will only prolong the troubles plaguing Hollywood
if it persists.Fear of new technology, and the changes that come with
it, is certainly not new. We can trace it all the way back to The
Luddites smashing looms in England during the industrial
revolution. But the existential crisis currently facing the
entertainment industry has been in the making for decades and it has
nothing to do with AI. Distribution fragmentation driven by the rise
of internet video and social media platforms has disrupted the
gatekeeper era and the monopoly on access to audiences of the
mega-network and cable days. Add to that, there’s now a business

Tickets for UFC 303: McGregor vs. Chandler have reached an average
secondary market price of $4,068 ahead of its June 29 date, according
to TicketIQ, a high price tag created by the highly anticipated return
of Former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor
after three years away from the octagon.If UFC 303 exceeds a $20
million live gate, it would mark the promotion’s highest ticket
sales ever for a single event, crushing its current record of $17.7

lightweight title to become one of only four fighters to hold two

After the market’s close, Nvidia’s 10-for-1 stock split, which was
announced in May during the company’s most recent earnings call,

Although it's difficult for astronomers to pinpoint where the Northern

Washington and Wisconsin, according to the NOAA's alert. Other states
within the view line include Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota,
Michigan and Maine.The lights are the most active between 10 p.m. and
2 a.m. For the best views of the Northern Lights, the agency advises
traveling as close to the poles as possible, avoiding city lights and
other light pollution, monitoring weather forecasts for prime viewing
conditions and finding a position on a vantage point like a hilltop.
Smartphone cameras are sensitive enough to pick up the aurora, even
when it's invisible to the naked eye. Visit Iceland, a tourist website

CHINA’S HUNGER for homemade chips is insatiable. In May it was
revealed that the government had launched the third iteration of its
“Big Fund”, an investment vehicle designed to shore up the
domestic semiconductor industry. The $48bn cash infusion is aimed at
expanding the manufacture of microprocessors. Its generosity roughly
matches similar packages from America ($53bn) and the EU ($49bn), both
of which are also trying to encourage the expansion of local
chipmaking.Chinese chipmakers are in a tough spot. In October 2022
America’s government restricted the export to China of advanced
chips and chipmaking gear made using American intellectual
property—which is to say virtually all such devices. This makes it
near-impossible for Chinese firms to produce leading-edge
microprocessors, the kind whose transistors measure a few nanometres
(billionths of a metre) across and which power the latest
artificial-intelligence models. But it does not stop them cranking out
less advanced chips, with transistor sizes measured in tens of
nanometres, of the sort that are needed in everything from televisions
and thermostats to refrigerators and cars.

Purim celebrated every spring commemorates a foiled attempt to
annihilate the Jewish people by the biblical character Haman, a

Persian Empire. Jews today mark the occasion by baking hamantaschen
– a crunchy, triangular-shaped biscuit with a slightly
nutty-flavoured poppy-seed filling, though other jams like prune,

island's "Blue Zone" diet into their lives.As one of the world's five
designated "Blue Zones", Ikaria, a small Greek island in the eastern
Aegean, has lower rates of chronic disease than most other places, and
its more than 8,000 full-time residents have some of the longest life
expectancies in the world. In fact, one-third of Ikarians live past 90
years of age, and factors such as strong social and family ties,
exercise that is integrated into daily life and frequent napping are
thought to be why these island inhabitants often live to be

As wonderful and original as the 1984 Ghostbusters is, what
transformed the movie into a franchise was an animated spin-off series
aimed at kids. In 1986, The Real Ghostbusters brought the adventures
of Ray, Peter, Egon, Winston, Janine, and Slimer into millions of
homes. While the original film was very much for adults, the show had
a more kid-appropriate vibe, even if the various ghosts, ghouls, and
demons could be terrifying. Because no film sequel or spin-off to
Ghostbusters ever lived up to the first movie, The Real Ghostbusters
remains the only project that ever came close, simply because it did
its own thing instead of trying to be a carbon copy. And now, almost
four decades after The Real Ghostbusters debuted, Netflix and Sony are
bringing the ‘busters back to animation.

The latest Doctor Who episode — “Rogue” — is not explicitly
about the complicated Time Lord regeneration canon that has been part
of the series since 1966. It is, instead, a romantic romp set in the
Regency era, in which the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Ruby (Millie
Gibson) have to defeat some shapeshifting aliens with the aid of a
bounty hunter named Rogue (Jonathan Groff). The episode also gives the
Doctor a new love interest in the form of the titular Rogue and
further makes us wonder about all those Susan Twist cameos. But for
longtime fans, this episode also briefly, and almost cheekily, drops a
massive Easter egg concerning the Doctor’s previous regenerations.
There’s a new face here we’ve never seen before, which opens up
all kinds of new questions about even more secret Time Lord
identities. Doctor Who is living up to its faux-questioning name.

character, but his immediate popularity meant Disney used him in
subsequent comic stories and animated shorts. Within a few years of
his debut appearance in 1934, Donald Duck had already achieved a
celebrity status comparable to Shirley Temple or Greta Garbo. His
popularity is made clear in Disney’s 1939 animated short The
Autograph Hound, whereby the Hollywood A-List of the time drop their
studio filming commitments to seek Donald’s autograph.

The global orange juice crisis is caused by disease and bad weather -
here's how to keep it on the breakfast table

Just as the world is coming out of the tea crisis, another breakfast
staple, orange juice, is in the spotlight. Supply constraints have led
to prices shooting up by more than 20% in a year. The primary cause of
this orange juice shortage is the significant hit to the orange
harvest in Brazil, which accounts for nearly 70% of the global supply
of orange juice. This year’s harvest is expected to be down by 24%
compared with last year – and this is the third harvest in a row
that has been difficult.

If a distressed stranger knocked on your door asking to use your
phone, would you oblige? How about lending them a fiver for the bus,
if they assured you they’d return and pay you back? In today’s
fractured world, trust seems elusive and divisions run deep. A lot of
people find it hard to trust strangers, perhaps in particular those
who are different to us. This is important, as it turns out that
trusting people might actually live longer, healthier lives compared
to their more sceptical counterparts.

Why the UK really does need a clear plan to fix adult social care

Social care is set to be a central theme in the forthcoming UK general
election. In the first electoral debate, held on June 4, 2024, Labour
leader Keir Starmer promised a full plan to be published within the
party’s manifesto. Sunak was altogether vaguer on what the
Conservatives aim to do. Whomever ends up in govermnent, adult social
care will be one of their biggest challenges. Since the financial
crisis of 2008, the problem of how to provide it to an ageing
population has reached a critical level.

Saying “hi” can be complicated. That greeting’s meaning can be
altered by the tone of your voice, the tilt of your head, your eye
contact, and whether and how you raise and wave your hand. And the
nature of a hand wave could differ if it’s directed toward one
person, a group, someone new, or someone familiar.It turns out that
greetings — and communication in general — by elephants is equally
nuanced. Over the past few decades, researchers have explored three
“C’s” of elephant communication: combinations, complexity, and
context. Careful elephant observations — both in the field and in
zoos — has helped researchers compile an ethography — a
description of various behaviors and sounds the large mammals make and
what they appear to mean.

If another area opened up without the competition of another human
group, then it’s most likely that humans would go and explore that
new area. There were no borders or countries, it was just about
survival at all costs, says Pagani. Leaving the continent of Africa
would likely have been just about moving into another territory.It’s
likely that early humans would have left Africa in groups made up of a
few dozen people through the Nile River corridor, which although it
was arid, was always adjacent to a reliable water source. We also
can’t rule out, says Pagani, that they reached Europe through the
Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a strip of land that connects the Red Sea with
the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean.

Called methylene chloride, the chemical was recently banned for
industrial use by the Environmental Protection Agency, due to the fact
that it can cause certain cancers, as well as neurotoxicity, liver
damage, and sometimes death. “There are alternatives,” says Jaclyn
Bowen, the executive director of the Clean Label Project, a nonprofit
organization that is advocating for replacing the use of methylene
chloride to decaffeinate coffee with other options.These include
methylene chloride, which is also called the European method, and is
the most widely used method; ethyl acetate, which is sometimes called
the “natural solvent,” due to the fact that it is present in a
number of fruits, such as bananas and sugarcane; the Swiss water
method, which uses hot water to extract the caffeine; and the carbon
dioxide method, which uses liquid carbon dioxide. Depending on the
method, this can affect the taste, as well as the chemical composition
of the coffee.

If he is to win, Keir Starmer, the Labour Party leader, must pull off
a voting shift greater even than that achieved by his mentor Tony
Blair in 1997, the last time their party seized power. Yet such is the
calamitous state of the Conservatives that after 14 years of misrule,
a victory for Labour has been pretty much priced in for the election
on July 4.The only question is how great a majority it will achieve
and whether that can produce a buffer large enough to keep it in power
for a decade at least to tackle Britain’s many woes—from the
economy to the health service, education, social care, and failed
privatizations such as the postal service and water. Indeed, pretty
much every area of public infrastructure needs repair.

Although it isn’t yet a law, the BIOSECURE Act is already making
waves in the biotech industry — as evidenced by some notable shifts
at this week’s BIO International Convention in San Diego. STAT’s
Jonathan Wosen and I were on site, and found that, with the possible
blacklisting of certain Chinese suppliers looming, biotechs are
scrambling to find alternatives to manufacturers like WuXi. Meantime,
an executive at one U.S.-based CDMO said “month to month, new
business has gone through the roof.”“Our customers are mainly
small biotechs, and they’re very worried about whether they’ll be
able to afford the U.S. CDMOs,” one China-based CDMO employee said.
“They’re worried about backlogs, since the U.S. companies are
suddenly so busy. My customers are telling me they’re already
waiting in line to get a slot, in case we are put on the BIOSECURE
list next.”

For years, the staff writer Jennifer Gonnerman has reported on the
case of Eric Smokes and David Warren. When they were teen-agers in
Brooklyn, in 1987, Smokes and Warren were convicted of second-degree
murder during the mugging of a tourist; the papers called them “the
Times Square Two.” It was the testimony of another teen-ager, James
Walker, who received a reduced sentence in a separate case for his
coöperation, that sent them to prison. Ever since, Warren and Smokes
have protested their innocence, and Walker later acknowledged that he
had lied. But in requesting parole, after years in prison, the two men
had to take responsibility for their crime, and four years ago, a
judge denied their appeal. Gonnerman tells the story of their long
fight for justice, and how it finally came to pass.© 2024 Condé

"Flipside" Is a Treasure Trove of Music and Memory - The New Yorker

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=13604&nl=daily]
Chris Wilcha's new documentary, "Flipside," is easy to summarize, but
it defies summary nonetheless, because it advances by a lurching,
associative method that leaves fault lines on the surface of its
unity. Feeling stuck in a rut, Wilcha, a successful director of TV
commercials, starts shooting a documentary about a record store in
suburban New Jersey, Flipside Records, where he worked as a teen-ager,
in the nineteen-eighties. From this slender premise, he develops a
breezy but prodigious memory piece, encompassing his family
background, his artistic obsessions, and his adventures in the movie
business."Flipside" is stuffed with footage from Wilcha's voluminous
video archives, a trove that he explores to reveal its deeply personal
implications. The work is built of fragments, and Wilcha introduces
them in a wryly deceptive way. At the start, the movie seems to be a
documentary about Herman Leonard, a photographer best known for his
images of jazz musicians. His 1948 picture of Dexter Gordon musing
amid a cloud of cigarette smoke is now a widely acknowledged highlight
of jazz iconography, yet his jazz photographs had their first
exhibition only in 1988, when he was in his sixties. When Wilcha
filmed Leonard, in 2010, the photographer was eighty-seven and his
work occupied pride of place in a big exhibit of jazz photography in
Los Angeles. Leonard was also dying of cancer, and Wilcha rushed to
shoot as much footage of him as possible.

Our most recent flu pandemic—2009’s H1N1 “swine flu”—was, in
absolute terms, a public-health crisis. By scientists’ best
estimates, roughly 200,000 to 300,000 people around the world died;
countless more fell sick. Kids, younger adults, and pregnant people
were hit especially hard.That said, it could have been far worse. Of
the known flu pandemics, 2009’s took the fewest lives; during the
H1N1 pandemic that preceded it, which began in 1918, a flu virus
infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide, at least 50
million of whom died. Even some recent seasonal flus have killed more
people than swine flu did. With swine flu, “we got lucky,” Seema
Lakdawala, a virologist at Emory University, told me. H5N1 avian flu,
which has been transmitting wildly among animals, has not yet spread
in earnest among humans. Should that change, though, the world’s
next flu pandemic might not afford us the same break.

If Only People Actually Believed These Trump-as-Jesus Memes - The

It would be simple to dispose of the matter this way: The meme makers
are wrong because Trump is guilty and Jesus was innocent. (In that
case, all that the meme makers are saying is that Trump is innocent.)
Or maybe they’re saying that Trump is factually guilty of what is
only a pretextual crime, meaning he did nothing morally wrong even
though he’s technically classed as a convicted criminal. Maybe the
whole thing is no more than trolling and nobody really cares about the
implications of conflating Trump and Jesus.Scripture certainly makes
that association plain. Jesus is said to have spent his time with
criminals and outsiders—people such as tax collectors, who were at
the time notorious thieves. Tradition holds that the apostle Mary
Magdalene was a former prostitute who found a place at Jesus’s right
hand. The prophecy that Christians believe Jesus carried out predicts
that the Messiah “will be numbered among the transgressors,” which
was evidently fulfilled in Jesus’s execution with two thieves at his
side, his death among the criminals. And in the narrative of the sheep
and the goats, Christ famously declares that the righteous will serve
him by serving others, saying, “I was hungry and you gave me
something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I
was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed
me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came
to visit me.” Jesus is especially close to those who need him.

Retailers might think that bigger discounts attract more customers.
But new research suggests that’s not always true. Sometimes, a
smaller discount that looks more precise — say 6.8% as compared to
7% — can make people think the deal won’t last long, and they’ll
buy more. In a series of nine experimental studies involving around
2,000 individuals considering online or retail purchases of a variety
of products, the authors found precise discount depths — the
difference between the original and sale price — can increase
purchase intentions by up to 21%.

Humans are good at inventing tools, but not as good at adapting to the
change these tools can cause. While there has been much focus on the
technical impacts and potential dark side of AI, the authors’
research has shown that AI can enhance and empower leadership,
actually helping make leaders more human. To do this, we need to
invest just as much in the development of our human potential as we do
in harnessing the power of AI. This means focusing on the core
leadership qualities of awareness, wisdom, and compassion, as well as
taking on a both/and mindset. The “AI-augmented leader” can
leverage both the power of AI and develop their most human qualities,
bringing the best of both human and machine to their leadership
practice.

The rise of remote work and a 23-year high in interest rates more than
doubled the number of commercial real estate foreclosures in major
American cities in April from the total in early 2023. The debt
structure for the entire sector is under serious strain, too. Office
building loan delinquencies also leaped in May, hitting a 7 percent
rate, climbing from 4 percent a year ago.Adjustments to the office
property market mean some buildings are selling for a fraction of
their previous price, and one analyst says, "we're not at the bottom
yet." We take a closer look at how these market disruptions could
benefit business owners, who may not be buying their own buildings
quite yet, but can at least try to negotiate more favorable lease
terms.

I can’t recall the exact moment. It might have been during an AI
event that I attended last summer where a top union exec proclaimed
that she “prefers candles to electricity” in front of a cheering
crowd…or it might have been last fall, post-writer’s strike
resolution, when I warned that the challenges for Hollywood were not
over and someone on X (formerly Twitter) thoughtfully responded with
“Die AI Scum.” Or perhaps it was last month when the audience at a
SXSW panel with OpenAI loudly and frequently booed speakers who
professed any benefit of AI. But I do know that at some point during
that sequence of events, I realized the backlash to talk of AI in
Hollywood was no ordinary fear of a new technology. And in this case,
it’s a fear that will only prolong the troubles plaguing Hollywood
if it persists.Fear of new technology, and the changes that come with
it, is certainly not new. We can trace it all the way back to The
Luddites smashing looms in England during the industrial
revolution. But the existential crisis currently facing the
entertainment industry has been in the making for decades and it has
nothing to do with AI. Distribution fragmentation driven by the rise
of internet video and social media platforms has disrupted the
gatekeeper era and the monopoly on access to audiences of the
mega-network and cable days. Add to that, there’s now a business
model imbalance, courtesy of the streaming wars, which drove up the
cost of production and marketing so high that basic economic rules
(i.e. profits) were forgotten. The result? Ongoing legacy industry
consolidation and the seemingly unending layoffs that have haunted the
studios for more than a decade.

Washington and Wisconsin, according to the NOAA's alert. Other states
within the view line include Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota,
Michigan and Maine.The lights are the most active between 10 p.m. and
2 a.m. For the best views of the Northern Lights, the agency advises
traveling as close to the poles as possible, avoiding city lights and
other light pollution, monitoring weather forecasts for prime viewing
conditions and finding a position on a vantage point like a hilltop.
Smartphone cameras are sensitive enough to pick up the aurora, even
when it's invisible to the naked eye. Visit Iceland, a tourist website

CHINA’S HUNGER for homemade chips is insatiable. In May it was
revealed that the government had launched the third iteration of its
“Big Fund”, an investment vehicle designed to shore up the
domestic semiconductor industry. The $48bn cash infusion is aimed at
expanding the manufacture of microprocessors. Its generosity roughly
matches similar packages from America ($53bn) and the EU ($49bn), both
of which are also trying to encourage the expansion of local
chipmaking.Chinese chipmakers are in a tough spot. In October 2022
America’s government restricted the export to China of advanced
chips and chipmaking gear made using American intellectual
property—which is to say virtually all such devices. This makes it
near-impossible for Chinese firms to produce leading-edge
microprocessors, the kind whose transistors measure a few nanometres
(billionths of a metre) across and which power the latest
artificial-intelligence models. But it does not stop them cranking out
less advanced chips, with transistor sizes measured in tens of
nanometres, of the sort that are needed in everything from televisions
and thermostats to refrigerators and cars.

Purim celebrated every spring commemorates a foiled attempt to
annihilate the Jewish people by the biblical character Haman, a

– a crunchy, triangular-shaped biscuit with a slightly
nutty-flavoured poppy-seed filling, though other jams like prune,

island's "Blue Zone" diet into their lives.As one of the world's five
designated "Blue Zones", Ikaria, a small Greek island in the eastern
Aegean, has lower rates of chronic disease than most other places, and
its more than 8,000 full-time residents have some of the longest life
expectancies in the world. In fact, one-third of Ikarians live past 90
years of age, and factors such as strong social and family ties,
exercise that is integrated into daily life and frequent napping are

As wonderful and original as the 1984 Ghostbusters is, what
transformed the movie into a franchise was an animated spin-off series
aimed at kids. In 1986, The Real Ghostbusters brought the adventures
of Ray, Peter, Egon, Winston, Janine, and Slimer into millions of
homes. While the original film was very much for adults, the show had
a more kid-appropriate vibe, even if the various ghosts, ghouls, and
demons could be terrifying. Because no film sequel or spin-off to
Ghostbusters ever lived up to the first movie, The Real Ghostbusters
remains the only project that ever came close, simply because it did
its own thing instead of trying to be a carbon copy. And now, almost
four decades after The Real Ghostbusters debuted, Netflix and Sony are
bringing the ‘busters back to animation.

The latest Doctor Who episode — “Rogue” — is not explicitly
about the complicated Time Lord regeneration canon that has been part
of the series since 1966. It is, instead, a romantic romp set in the
Regency era, in which the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Ruby (Millie
Gibson) have to defeat some shapeshifting aliens with the aid of a
bounty hunter named Rogue (Jonathan Groff). The episode also gives the
Doctor a new love interest in the form of the titular Rogue and
further makes us wonder about all those Susan Twist cameos. But for
longtime fans, this episode also briefly, and almost cheekily, drops a

To me, what makes the majestic migration of birds so moving is that it
is a living spell against abandonment. No one is leaving and no one is

Factchecking of Sunak's misleading tax claim shows broadcasters taking
a new approach to impartiality

In the first televised general election debate, Rishi Sunak claimed
more than ten times that a future Labour government would cost
households £2,000 more in tax. It took some time for Keir Starmer to
rebut the attack, allowing the idea to fester for almost an hour among
5 million prime time television viewers. Senior Conservative
politicians repeated the claim and said these figures were generated
independently by the civil service. But Treasury officials wrote in a
letter to Labour that the figures had not been calculated
independently, and that it had warned the government about making this
misleading claim.

What a bath, taken 1,000 years ago, can tell us about the conflicted
English kingdom of the 11th century

On June 8 1023, 1,001 years ago, King Cnut took a bath. In itself this
was not particularly remarkable. Contrary to the image of a
ubiquitously grubby middle ages that dominates film and television,
there is evidence to suggest that among the upper classes, at least,
bathing was a regular pleasure. What is unusual is that Cnut’s bath
seems to be the first in English history that a (fairly) reliable
written source, Osbern of Canterbury, chooses to pin to a particular
time and place. But why? What made this particular bath 1,000 years
ago deserving of this honour? The answer lies in the complex world of
11th century national power politics.

Donald Duck at 90: how the Disney favourite has evolved to appeal to a
changing society

Donald Duck’s first appearance on screen was the animated short
titled The Wise Little Hen. He was intended as a one-off supporting
character, but his immediate popularity meant Disney used him in
subsequent comic stories and animated shorts. Within a few years of
his debut appearance in 1934, Donald Duck had already achieved a
celebrity status comparable to Shirley Temple or Greta Garbo. His
popularity is made clear in Disney’s 1939 animated short The
Autograph Hound, whereby the Hollywood A-List of the time drop their
studio filming commitments to seek Donald’s autograph.

The global orange juice crisis is caused by disease and bad weather -
here's how to keep it on the breakfast table

Just as the world is coming out of the tea crisis, another breakfast
staple, orange juice, is in the spotlight. Supply constraints have led
to prices shooting up by more than 20% in a year. The primary cause of
this orange juice shortage is the significant hit to the orange
harvest in Brazil, which accounts for nearly 70% of the global supply
of orange juice. This year’s harvest is expected to be down by 24%
compared with last year – and this is the third harvest in a row
that has been difficult.

We've discovered a gene for trust - here's how it could be linked to
good health

If a distressed stranger knocked on your door asking to use your
phone, would you oblige? How about lending them a fiver for the bus,
if they assured you they’d return and pay you back? In today’s
fractured world, trust seems elusive and divisions run deep. A lot of
people find it hard to trust strangers, perhaps in particular those
who are different to us. This is important, as it turns out that
trusting people might actually live longer, healthier lives compared
to their more sceptical counterparts.

Why the UK really does need a clear plan to fix adult social care

Social care is set to be a central theme in the forthcoming UK general
election. In the first electoral debate, held on June 4, 2024, Labour
leader Keir Starmer promised a full plan to be published within the
party’s manifesto. Sunak was altogether vaguer on what the
Conservatives aim to do. Whomever ends up in govermnent, adult social
care will be one of their biggest challenges. Since the financial
crisis of 2008, the problem of how to provide it to an ageing
population has reached a critical level.
