Texafornia dreaming
America’s future will be written in the two mega-states
In the cable-news version of America, the president
sits in the White House issuing commands that
transform the nation. Life is not like that. In the real
version of America many of the biggest political
choices are made not in Washington but by the
states—and by two of them in particular. Texas and
California are the biggest, most important states in
the union, each equally convinced that it is the
future. However, their rules and regulations are
basically opposite to each other.

Q1692597
Inglês
Beetles and flies are becoming part of the agricultural food chain.
Some visionaries hope that insects will play a big
role in future human diets. Insects are nutritious,
being packed with protein. Unlike hot-blooded
mammals and birds, which use a lot of energy to
keep themselves warm, they are efficient
converters of food into body mass. And in some
parts of the world they are, indeed, eaten already.
Well, maybe. But it will take some serious marketing
to persuade consumers, in the West at least, that
fricasseed locusts or termite burgers are the yummy
must-haves of 21st-century cuisine.

Inglês
The world has a handful of great commercial hubs.
Silicon Valley dominates technology. The home of
luxury is Paris and the capital of outsourcing is
Bangalore, in India. One of the mightiest clusters of
all is London, which hosts the globe’s largest
international financial center. Within a square mile
on the Thames, a multinational firm can sell $5bn of
shares in 20 minutes, or a European startup can
raise seed finance from Asian pensioners. You can
insure container ships or a pop star’s vocal cords.
Companies can hedge the risk that a factory
anywhere on the planet will face a volatile currency
or hurricanes and a rising sea level a decade from
now.

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
The conversation around aging in the
U.S. must change—both in
Washington and among industry
stakeholders. This will require
players in the ecosystem proactively
working together to solve
interoperability challenges,
committing to value-based care and
accommodating and supporting
caregivers and patients alike.
Supporting partnerships between
hospitals and community
organizations that provide more
support for caregivers and
reimbursing patients for tools outside
of the healthcare ecosystem will be
critical. By working together, the
healthcare system can support aging
gracefully and living happier,
healthier lives.
Speaking of which, our friends at
HLTH have launched a new
conference with the goal of bringing
industry players together to discuss
how industry verticals can work
together to solve complex challenges in healthcare—including addressing
the aging population. Check out their
website to learn more and read their

“Isn’t Nancy through in the kitchen yet?” Mother said. “It
seems to me that she has had plenty of time to have finished the
dishes.”
“Let Quentin go and see,” Father said. “Go and see if Nancy is through, Quentin. Tell her she can go on home.”
I went to the kitchen. Nancy was through. The dishes were put away and the fire was out. Nancy was sitting in a chair, close to the cold stove. She looked at me.
“Mother wants to know if you are through,” I said.
“Yes,” Nancy said. She looked at me. “I done finished.” She looked at me.
“What is it?” I said. “What is it?”
“I ain’t nothing but a nigger,” Nancy said. “It ain’t none of it my fault.”

The editor-in-chief of one of the world’s most prestigious
medical journals has said doctors and medical professionals
should engage in protests to address climate change. Richard
Horton of The Lancet said that engaging in these protests is part
of the duty of a doctor. He said that the General Medical Council
(GMC) should be fully supportive of health professionals who
engage in climate protests based on its own guidelines on the
duties of a doctor. His statement comes after multiple health
organizations have taken action on climate change in the United
Kingdom.

When we think of deadly poisons, most of our minds will
jump instantly to arsenic. George III of England, Napoleon
Bonaparte and the Gaungxu Emperor of China are all thought to
have died from its effects — either from a deliberate
assassination or accidental exposure. Just 200 milligrams —
around the weight of a raindrop — is enough to kill someone
within two hours. The first sign is a metallic taste in your mouth,
followed by vomiting and seizures, and death. It sounds horrific
— but arsenic is positively innocuous compared to other
substances.
Consider tetrodotoxin (TTX), a poison found in puffer fish and blue-ringed octopuses that leaves you paralysed as your body goes through some agonising reactions. “Your lips and tongue will begin to burn, your mouth will erupt with saliva and you’ll get very sweaty,” Dominic Burgess from BritLab explains. “You’ll no longer be able to speak, swallow, seizures will begin and your body will slowly shut down — all while you are completely lucid but unable to move.” Death comes after six hours of symptoms and there is no antidote.
Often these poisons are alarmingly close to home. One lethal chemical — cardiac glycoside digoxin — can be found in a common garden flower, while the deadliest can be seen in many hospitals; just 2 kg would be enough to wipe out the whole of the human race.

Yury Azhichakov set out early by bike for Senogda
Bay, his favorite beach, on the northwestern shore of Lake
Baikal in Siberia. The world’s oldest, deepest and most
voluminous lake, Baikal holds 20 percent of the planet’s
unfrozen freshwater. It is often described as the world’s cleanest
lake.
As Mr. Azhichakov discovered, that is no longer the case. Senogda’s once pristine sands were buried under thick mats of reeking greenish-black goo.
“This stuff stretched far into the distance, for several kilometers,” said Mr. Azhichakov, 61, a retired ecological engineer. “The beach was in terrible condition.”
The muck, scientists have discovered, follows mass algal blooms at dozens of sites around Lake Baikal’s 1,240-mile perimeter. Confined to shallow water and shores near towns and villages, the problem seems to stem from an influx of untreated sewage – the result of inadequate wastewater treatment.
Algal blooms threaten iconic freshwater bodies around the world, including the Great Lakes, Lake Geneva, and Lake Biwa in Japan. But Lake Baikal is especially precious: a World Heritage site home to more than 3,700 species, more than half found nowhere else.
“People are dumping sewage, waste and rubbish around the lake, creating pretty appalling conditions in some places,” said Anson MacKay, an environmental scientist at University College London.

The youngest of Uchendu’s five sons, Amikwu, was
marrying a new wife. The brideprice had been paid and all but
the last ceremony had been performed. Amikwu and his people
had taken palm-wine to the bride’s kinsmen about two moons
before Okonkwo’s arrival in Mbanta. And so it was time for the
final ceremony of confession.
The daughters of the family were all there, some of them having come a long way from their homes in distant villages. Uchendu’s eldest daughter had come from Obodo, nearly half a day’s journey away. There were twenty-two of them.
They sat in a big circle on the ground and the young bride in the centre with a hen in her right hand. Uchendu before her, holding the ancestral staff of the family. The men stood outside the circle, watching. Their wives also. It was evening and the sun was setting. Uchendu’s eldest daughter, Njide, asked her, “Remember that if you do not answer truthfully you will suffer or even die at childbirth”.

Most of us don’t enjoy having difficult conversations.
When we have a difficult conversation with someone from a
different culture, however, our task becomes harder.
Getting down to business vs. relationship building: In some countries like the U.S., people view conversations as an opportunity to exchange information. Participants expect each other to get down to business fairly quickly. However, in countries such as Mexico, conversations are first and foremost an opportunity to enhance the relationship.
Direct vs. indirect communication: In countries like Germany, it is a sign of respect and professionalism to speak clearly and leave no room for misinterpretation. By contrast, in countries like Japan, people prefer to communicate indirectly, especially when it comes to a sensitive topic.
Low vs. high context: In countries like Canada, the message of a conversation is primarily contained within the exact words that are spoken. In other countries, like South Korea, they read between the lines in the words that are spoken and pay very close attention to the emotional side of the message.
Informality vs. formality: In some countries, such as Australia, where people are generally casual and laid back, they might interpret an overtly formal setting as a sign that the situation was worse than they’d thought. Yet in other countries, like Poland, meeting in a formal office with some observance of protocol would be expected.

New data released by the World Meteorological
Organisation (WMO) shows that the five years from 2011 to
2015 were the warmest on record. The report, strongly links
human activities to rising temperatures. It says that some studies
found that the burning of fossil fuels had increased the
probability of extreme heat by 10 times or more.
In their report on the global climate 2011-2015, the WMO says that the world’s temperature was 0.57 °C above the long term average, which they define as being between 1961 and 1990. The five year period was the warmest for all continents except Africa. Throughout these years, temperatures over most of Europe were more than one degree Celsius above the long term trend. This was also the case in the Asian part of the Russian Federation, over much of the Sahara and Arabian regions, parts of South Africa, southwest US and the interior of Brazil. The mercury even reached three degrees above the average on the Arctic coast of Russia.
“This report confirms that the average temperature in 2015 had already reached the 1 degree C mark. We just had the hottest five-year period on record, with 2015 claiming the title of hottest individual year. Even that record is likely to be beaten in 2016.”

A client sits before me, seeking help untangling his
relationship problems. As a psychotherapist, I strive to be warm,
nonjudgmental and encouraging. I am a bit unsettled, then,
when in the midst of describing his painful experiences, he says,
“I’m sorry for being so negative.”
A crucial goal of therapy is to learn to acknowledge and express a full range of emotions, and here was a client apologizing for doing just that. In my psychotherapy practice, many of my clients struggle with highly distressing emotions, such as extreme anger, or with suicidal thoughts. In recent years I have noticed an increase in the number of people who also feel guilty or ashamed about what they perceive to be negativity. Such reactions undoubtedly stem from our culture’s overriding bias toward positive thinking. Although positive emotions are worth cultivating, problems arise when people start believing they must be upbeat all the time.
In fact, anger and sadness are an important part of life, and new research shows that experiencing and accepting such emotions are vital to our mental health. Attempting to suppress thoughts can backfire and even diminish our sense of contentment. “Acknowledging the complexity of life may be an especially fruitful path to psychological well-being,” says psychologist Jonathan M. Adler of the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering.
