Why Are More Older People Dying After Falls?

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=231330&nl=daily

Dalifornication grips China - The Economist [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=231330&nl=daily]
Few destinations in China are as laid-back as Dali, a south-western

lakeside old town for the summer. They often hang around for months on
a shoestring. By several accounts from restaurateurs, hoteliers and
travel operators, the city's tourist areas appeared busier this summer

Whats the Deal with U.F.O.s? - The New Yorker
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=231330&nl=daily]
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=231330&nl=daily]
When I was growing up, I watched a lot of sci-fi movies about aliens
that come to Earth. The extraterrestrials in popular culture, however,
always looked so familiar that I found them far-fetched. What are the
chances that E.T., the Predator, or ALF would develop arms and legs, a
humanlike face, and opposable thumbs? Perhaps as a result, I
associated alien life more with fantasy than with science, and I never
gave much thought to what a visit would really look like. But my
attitude started to change in 2020, when I read Liu Cixins The
Three-Body Problem and its two sequels. In Lius books, creatures
called Trisolarans send a scouting mission of supercomputers to spy on
and subtly disrupt human affairs. Although Trisolarans could do
seemingly impossible things, such as program protons, Lius rigor got
me thinking about aliens from a scientific perspective. Suddenly, I
could imagine a sophisticated civilization coming into contact with
humanity, perhaps in ways that we dont immediately understand.
