Natural selection gave a freediving people in Southeast Asia bigger spleens
The Bajau people of Southeast Asia, known as Sea Nomads, spend their whole lives at sea, working eight-hour diving shifts with traditional equipment and short breaks to catch fish and shellfish for their families. In a study published April 19 in the journal Cell, researchers report that the extraordinary diving abilities of the Bajau may be thanks in part to their unusually large spleens. The adaptation, the researchers say, is a rare example of natural selection in modern humans -- and one that could provide medically relevant insight into how humans manage acute hypoxia.
Vocabulary: Spleens – baços
Hypoxia – hipóxia (baixa concentração de oxigênio nos tecidos)

Digital addiction increases loneliness, anxiety and depression
Smartphones are an integral part of most people's lives, allowing us to stay connected and in-the-know at all times. The downside of that convenience is that many of us are also addicted to the constant pings, chimes, vibrations and other alerts from our devices, unable to ignore new emails, texts and images. In a new study published in NeuroRegulation, San Francisco State University Professor of Health Education Erik Peper and Associate Professor of Health Education Richard Harvey argue that overuse of smart phones is just like any other type of substance abuse.

Modern-day slavery: an explainer
Photograph: Mario Tama/Getty
What is modern-day slavery?
About 150 years after most countries banned slavery –
Brazil was the last to abolish its participation in the transatlantic
slave trade, in 1888 – millions of men, women and children are
still enslaved. Contemporary slavery takes many forms, from
women forced into prostitution, to child slavery in agriculture
supply chains or whole families working for nothing to pay
off generational debts. Slavery thrives on every continent and
in almost every country. Forced labour, people trafficking,
debt bondage and child marriage are all forms of modern-day
slavery that affect the world’s most vulnerable people.
How is slavery defined?
Slavery is prohibited under the 1948 Universal Declaration
of Human Rights, which states: “No one shall be held in slavery
or servitude: slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in
all their forms.”
Definitions of modern-day slavery are mainly taken
from the 1956 UN supplementary convention, which says:
“debt bondage, serfdom, forced marriage and the delivery
of a child for the exploitation of that child are all slavery-like
practices and require criminalisation and abolishment”. The
1930 Forced Labour Convention defines forced labour as “all
work or service which is exacted from any person under the
menace of any penalty and for which the said person has
not offered himself voluntarily”. As contemporary systems of
slavery have evolved, new definitions, including trafficking and
distinguishing child slavery from child labour, have developed.
How many people are enslaved across the world?
Due to its illegality, data on modern-day slavery is difficult
to collate. The UN’s International Labour Organisation (ILO)
estimates that about 21 million people are in forced labour
at any point in time. The ILO says this estimate includes
trafficking and other forms of modern slavery. The only
exceptions are trafficking for organ removal, forced marriage
and adoption, unless the last two practices result in forced
labour. The ILO calculates that 90% of the 21 million are
exploited by individuals or companies, while 10% are forced
to work by the state, rebel military groups, or in prisons under
conditions that violate ILO standards. Sexual exploitation
accounts for 22% of slaves.

BACTÉRIA DE HOSPITAL FICA RESISTENTE
AO ÁLCOOL PARA LIMPEZA DAS MÃOS
Uma espécie bacteriana multirresistente, causadora de infecções hospitalares, está se tornando cada vez mais tolerante ao álcool usado para lavagem das mãos. A conclusão foi obtida a partir de amostras colhidas em dois hospitais australianos. A análise do material sugere que a espécie Enterococcus faecium está se adaptando a uma das ferramentas mais baratas e populares empregadas no combate a infecções em instituições de saúde. As infecções por E. faecium aumentaram, apesar do uso de desinfetantes à base de álcool, e atualmente representam uma das principais causas de infecções em hospitais.

SWEDISH CROWN JEWELS: SPEEDBOAT THIEVES STEAL PRICELESS TREASURES
Police in Sweden have launched a manhunt after thieves swiped some of the country’s crown jewels from a cathedral and escaped by speedboat. Two priceless crowns and an orb belonging to a 17th century king and queen were taken at around midday on Tuesday in Strängnäs, near Stockholm. Witnesses said they saw two men running from the cathedral, which was open to the public and hosting a lunch fair. They were seen motoring off into Lake Malaren, and have not been seen since.

HOW TO SPLIT THE CHECK WITHOUT THE ACCUSATIONS AND AWKWARDNESS
The stresses and frustrations of check-splitting are not exclusive to 20-somethings, but they seem to hit this subset of diners harder, and with more frequency, than other groups.

A CENSUS QUESTION THAT COULD
CHANGE HOW POWER IS DIVIDED IN AMERICA
‘Is this person a citizen?’ The answer could mean less representation for populous states and big cities.
A citizenship question on the 2020 census has already drawn challenges from states that fear an undercount of immigrants and a loss of federal funds. But demographers say there could be even deeper consequences. The question could generate the data necessary to redefine how political power is apportioned in America.

Avoiding Aggressive Driving
The amount of aggressive driving is increasing on our roads. Some of the signs of an aggressive driver include a person who changes lanes abruptly to pass a slower driver, a driver who tailgates in an attempt to get another driver to speed up, and a driver who curses at other drivers. They put themselves and others at risk on the roads. A variety of studies have revealed certain traits common in aggressive drivers. If a person is ever pursued by an aggressive driver, he or she should ask someone in the car to call 911 or drive to a nearby police station. […] Finally, people who engage in aggressive driving behaviors take the chance of injuring or killing themselves and other drivers.

Student on Homesickness
When the homesickness hits, I usually get lazy and tired and just feel like going home and sleeping. I miss the safety of my family and the comfort of home, but most of all I miss my mother and just being able to talk to her whenever I want.
The homesickness usually hits when I feel out of place, or when I hear a song, or see something that reminds me of them. Usually, when I Skype them, it makes me feel worse because I can see them and talk to them, but I can't be with them.

The President is Missing
By Bill Clinton and James Patterson
When Tom Wolfe noted that “the problem with fiction” is that “it has to be plausible,” he may have had efforts
like this one in mind. Bill Clinton and James Patterson’s ambitious and wildly readable new novel, “The
President Is Missing,” arches more closely toward plausibility in its geopolitical subplots — threats against
the Saudi king, malicious Russian meddling in world affairs — than its main story line of a president who
ditches his handlers and goes rogue from the White House, convinced he is the only one who can foil a huge
cyberterror plot.
The book opens with a charged scene in which President Jonathan Duncan is participating in a mock
hearing to prepare for a congressional inquiry investigating the botched attempt to capture a terrorist. When
the president loses his temper, he vindicates the advisers who have cautioned him not to appear before the
actual committee. It’s a satisfying outcome for the former senior staffer in me — but unrealistic, considering
the picture of the president that unfolds on the subsequent pages.

Fort De Soto Park, St. Petersburg, Florida
One of the most dog-friendly beaches in Florida, Fort De Soto State Park not only welcomes pets on the
sand, but also has special Paw Playgrounds for big and small dogs with shade and water stations. Dogs
must be leashed when they enter and exit the beach, but can enjoy the water and sand off leash with their
owners the rest of their visit. In a recently released survey, Fort De Soto was one of Invitation Homes Top 10
Dog Beaches, where factors such as leash laws, whether pets can go in the water, what times of the year
pets are allowed on the beach, and whether there is a pet-only section were evaluated. “For anyone who
lives near the beach or takes their pet on vacation, there is nothing like seeing the joy of your ‘best friend’
frolicking in the sand,” says Marnie Vaughn, vice president of operations in Florida.

One of the most dog-friendly beaches in Florida, Fort De Soto State Park not only welcomes pets on the
sand, but also has special Paw Playgrounds for big and small dogs with shade and water stations. Dogs
must be leashed when they enter and exit the beach, but can enjoy the water and sand off leash with their
owners the rest of their visit. In a recently released survey, Fort De Soto was one of Invitation Homes Top 10
Dog Beaches, where factors such as leash laws, whether pets can go in the water, what times of the year
pets are allowed on the beach, and whether there is a pet-only section were evaluated. “For anyone who
lives near the beach or takes their pet on vacation, there is nothing like seeing the joy of your ‘best friend’
frolicking in the sand,” says Marnie Vaughn, vice president of operations in Florida.

Tech users have long questioned whether mobile devices and smart speakers eavesdrop on their private
conversations. Apple answered that question Tuesday with a resounding no.
In a letter to federal lawmakers, the tech giant insisted that iPhones do not listen to what users are saying
and said third-party app developers don't have access to audio data.
"iPhone doesn't listen to consumers except to recognize the clear, unambiguous audio trigger 'Hey Siri,'"
Timothy Powderly, Apple's director of Federal Government Affairs, wrote in the letter, which was obtained by
CNN.
"The customer is not our product, and our business model does not depend on collecting vast amounts of
personally identifiable information to enrich targeted profiles marketed to advertisers," he added.
