Editor's Note: Yet despite decades of research, no treatment has been created that arrests Alzheimer's cognitive deterioration, let alone reverses it.

Scientists, funders and drug companies have struggled to justify billions in costs and careers pursuing dead-end paths. But there's another, sinister, factor at play.

WorkA Theory as to Why Art is Created The word art in the title of this essay is not just referring to the plastic and visual arts but also literary and music, however the main focus will be on literary arts. There is a common reason given for the creation of art, often used by artists, which is that they are compelled. WorkF1 drivers face bans for criticising ruling body Formula 1 drivers face race bans if they repeatedly swear or criticise the sport's governing body under new rules introduced this year. Changes to the FIA's sporting code for the 2025 season codify the steps to a potential race ban for drivers deemed guilty of such offences. WorkU.S. Halt to Foreign Aid Does Not Apply to Arms to Israel and Egypt The memo requires any employee working on foreign aid to refrain from designating new funding and taking applications, and to issue “stop-work” orders to groups that have received grants. The memo has circulated online and has ignited panic among groups around the world that rely on foreign aid from the United States for their programs — which range from disease prevention to curbing infant mortality to alleviating the impact of climate change. WorkKristi Noem Is Confirmed as Homeland Security Secretary As governor of South Dakota, she opposed accepting Afghan refugees after the chaotic American withdrawal from Afghanistan, and she sent members of her state’s National Guard to Texas to address the immigration crisis — a contentious move that Mr. Trump cited in picking her for homeland security secretary. WorkState Dept. Halts Global Mine-Clearing Programs It is unclear whether Mr. Rubio or the president understands that the presence of unexploded munitions threatens the lives of Americans as well, given that U.S. troops are often killed or wounded by hazardous battlefield munitions such as dud submunitions from cluster weapons. Such ordnance killed as many U.S. military ground troops during the 1991 Persian Gulf War as were lost to enemy fire. WorkWorkCrafting a Haggis for American Tastes and Import Restrictions Burns helped turn haggis, which was traditionally consumed by peasants, into Scotland’s national dish with lines like “Fair fa’ your honest, sonsie face / Great chieftain o’ the pudding-race!” in his poem “Address to a Haggis,” which is read as part of the celebrations. WorkWorkThey Were Waiting for Flights. Then Trump Closed a Door for Afghan Allies. Mr. Trump’s order, titled, “Realigning the United States Refugee Admissions Program,” takes effect on Monday.

Then, following a visit from Donald Trump Jr earlier this year, Egede said: "We are Greenlanders. We don't want to be Americans. We don't want to be Danish either. Greenland's future will be decided by Greenland." WorkThe oil crisis fuelled by Russiaas war is evaporating a and so are the profits "Trump calling for a lower oil price makes you think he is less close to the US oil industry, Putin and Mohammed bin Salman than what one might have thought," says Bjarne Schieldrop, a commodities analyst at SEB. "Is he siding with the US consumer, favouring lower oil and gasoline prices, or is he siding with the rich oil lobby who wants to control supply and keep the oil price at a healthy level?" WorkWorkWorkMike Hynson, Surfing Star of 'The Endless Summer,' Dies at 82 Hynson’s life became the stuff of lore starting in 1963, when he was invited by the filmmaker Bruce Brown to join him and Robert August, another young Southern California surfer, on a trek that would lead them through Senegal, Ghana, South Africa, Australia, Tahiti, New Zealand and Hawaii, hopping the Equator to avoid the slightest chill of winter while searching for the perfect wave. WorkTrump's Moves to Upend Federal Bureaucracy Touch Off Fear and Confusion Starting on Inauguration Day, the orders and memos came down one after the other, many crafted in the pugnacious tone of a campaign speech: the shuttering of “Radical and Wasteful” diversity programs in federal agencies; the stripping of civil service protections from a share of the federal work force; the end to remote work, which, one administration memo claimed, had left federal office buildings “mostly empty” and rendered downtown Washington “a national embarrassment.” WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkBarry Sternlicht Is Bringing Back the Starwood Hotel Brand Reviving the Starwood name may seem like a small change in the grand scheme of things; indeed, Marriott had retired it years ago. But beyond his attachment to the name, Mr. Sternlicht believed getting it back would raise the company’s profile and help with recruiting. He took back the brand last year. WorkWorkThe Cheat Sheet on Trump's First Week President Trump made it clear his attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion programs won’t be restricted to the federal government. On his second day in office, he instructed agencies to identify targets for “civil compliance investigations” related to their D.E.I. practices.

WorkWorkTrump Stocks E.P.A. With Oil, Gas and Chemical Lobbyists “It’s alarming to see former industry lobbyists and attorneys who, until recently, were paid by their clients to weaken pollution standards, nominated to high-ranking positions at E.P.A. where they will have the power to undermine regulations meant to protect the public from these same industries,” said Jen Duggan, executive director of the Environmental Integrity Project, a watchdog group. WorkHamas Choreographs a Show of Force as It Hands Over the Hostages The hostages, all soldiers who were lookouts at a base on the Gaza border and abducted from there on Oct. 7, 2023, during the Hamas-led attack on Israel, arrived to the square in a convoy of midsize sport utility vehicles. They were led onto the stage, clothed in military-style fatigues, which seemed intended to make a point that these hostages were soldiers, not civilians. WorkWorkOpinion | The Wars Within Trump's Court Protectionists vs. Wall Street: Notably, Trump’s initial slew of executive actions did not include the big tariffs he has promised to impose on rivals and neighbors alike. His own protectionist desires are clear enough, but his court is full of financial elites whispering warnings about not going too far, not disturbing the stock market, finding a more modest way to play William McKinley. WorkWorkWhatsApp could soon let iOS users have multiple accounts on one device On Android, running two accounts simultaneously on WhatsApp requires a dual-SIM situation, as each account must have its own phone number. WhatsApp does offer another app, WhatsApp Business, that users can set up a second account on using a different phone number, but that still means jumping between two apps. The Android update and what’s currently being tested for iOS allow users with two phone numbers to keep all their conversations in one app. WorkWhat to read this weekend: An immersive new work of Africanfuturism I already can't get enough of this series. Kelly Sue DeConnick’s writing is so on point, and the art by David López is gorgeous. FML is colored by Cris Peter, with lettering by Clayton Cowles. I only found out about it last week or so when the third issue came out, and after buying the first one I had to immediately consume the next two entries too. The fourth issue will be released February 26.
