From cancer to Alzheimer’s: could a renewed focus on energy transform biomedicine? Including energy dynamics in research could improve our understanding of diseases and of the healing processes that sustain health.

“…a focus on molecules is not enough to help us to understand what underpins biological processes and diseases. Both a cadaver and a thinking, feeling, living person are made up of molecules, cells, tissues and organs — the fundamental distinguishing factor is energy flow.”

This Oil Supply Shock Is Very, Very Bad Even releasing hundreds of millions of barrels from the world’s strategic reserves will only cover about a month of missing supply.

US may have struck Iranian girls' school after using outdated targeting data, sources say Video surfaced that experts say appears to show a US Tomahawk missile striking ⁠the area. But exactly how the tragedy unfolded has remained unclear.

"One ​of the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said officials responsible for creating targeting packages appeared ​to have used out-of-date intelligence. The second source confirmed that out-of-date intelligence appears to have been used."

Pushing private assets: are Europe’s investors at risk of a mis-selling scandal? New vehicles are being marketed to ordinary investors just as some similar products in the US have run into trouble

The EU is quietly leading their citizens to the slaughterhouse.

“Before we widen access to private markets, we need honest answers to hard questions. Can retail investors genuinely understand what illiquidity means for them personally? And who is accountable when it goes wrong?”

Will releasing millions of barrels of oil stockpiles really bring down fuel costs? Despite rare act of multilateralism, there is no guarantee the IEA’s release of 400m barrels from reserves will depress prices

“Neil Shearing, chief global economist at Capital Economics, suggested shutting off the strait of Hormuz cuts off 10m barrels of supply a day; but the largest ever past IEA release of stocks amounted to 2.5m barrels a day.”

UN warns of widening crisis as Israeli attacks displace 816,000 in Lebanon UN humanitarian chief says mass displacement accelerating as Lebanon's shelters are already overcrowded, lack resources.

The Blogs: Telling Arab Israelis to ‘take shelter’ is a cruel joke After the last war with Iran, the state said there was time to help the 46% of Arab citizens who have no protection from missiles. And then, it did...nothing

“Nearly 46 percent of Arab citizens in Israel lack access to a protected space. In 60 percent of Arab municipalities, there are no public shelters at all. Approximately 30% of state Arab schools lack adequate protection, compared to 11% of Hebrew-speaking and religious Jewish state schools.”

Mano Brown e a pedagogia da escuta preta 'Mano a Mano' revela interesse radical de Mano Brown pelo outro e seu compromisso com a vertente mais abstrata do hip-hop: o conhecimento

"Os Racionais não impõem tendências nem padrões de conduta — eles as capturam a partir de uma escuta aberta à multiplicidade contraditória do presente. Eles se tornam um grupo de rap fundamental à medida que... o eu cede lugar ao nós, na contramão dos caminhos predominantes no rap contemporâneo."
