The climate crisis impacts Earth — its land, its atmosphere and its bodies of water — and it also profoundly affects the health and behavior of the planet’s inhabitants large and small, including humanity. And CNN Chief Climate Correspondent Bill Weir has a front-row seat to the ever-evolving situation. “Five million people die prematurely every year just to, just from particulate pollution of burning fossil fuels around the world,” Weir said. “It is taking care of water and soil and air… (that) fills those (Maslow) needs in ways that we can’t imagine in our modern, convenient world,” he said. “I just want folks to connect with each other and nature in the best possible ways,” he said.

The general population also experienced excess mortality during this time, but the risk started higher for renters and rose exponentially for those threatened with eviction. From January 2020 through August 2021, the risk of death for renters facing eviction was 2.6 times greater than it was in the general population, the study found. During the baseline period of 2010 to 2016, the mortality rate was 1.4 times higher for renters facing eviction than it was for the general population. Another study from December explored the risk between rising rent costs and mortality risk. Eviction filings were down 45% during the first two years of the pandemic, according to the new study.

A recent poll of 1,005 US adults found the average American spends 26 minutes a day reading and responding to group chats. For us to survive and thrive as humans, it's time to agree on the Definitive Etiquette of the Group Chat. The ultimate appeal of group chats — their necessity, really — is that they've become the only social media that's actually social. Group chats can become overwhelming, of course, especially as they creep into other apps and especially as they often duplicate participants. Don't talk about the group chat outside the group chat.

☆ Maslow’s hierarchy of needs: Examples and explanation
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-15 | by ( Aj Willingham | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

What is Maslow’s hierarchy of needs? “Human needs arrange themselves in hierarchies of pre-potency,” Maslow wrote in the 1943 paper “A Theory of Human Needs,” which first described the model. Level 2: Safety needsWith basic needs fulfilled, the next level of needs moves to safety. Examples of Maslow’s hierarchy of needsAside from its psychological application, countless disciplines have found Maslow’s model to be a useful teaching tool. Common challenges to Maslow’s model argue that it is too arbitrary, or that humans needs exist more as a cascading spectrum.

In the midst of an uncertain economy and precarious job market, Gen Z is turning up the hustle. According to a 2022 survey commissioned by Microsoft, 48% of Gen Z respondents were juggling multiple side hustles at once. Broken promisesWhile young people often work multiple jobs through college and early in their career, Gen Zers are extending the work hustle into their formal careers. But after watching that dream die for millennials, Gen Z isn't buying into what they view as a broken social contract.

☆ I'm an instructor at the Esalen Institute, a famous wellness retreat near Silicon Valley. Here's why tech executives flock to this oasis of 'transformation.'

The Esalen Institute is a retreat and educational institute that was established in Big Sur, California in 1962. When I came to Esalen for the first time in 2014 I thought: How does this place even exist? It's a rare place where water coming down from the mountains, hot spring water coming up from the Earth, and water from the Pacific Ocean all collide in one place. But I'm not meditating all day at Esalen — I'm focused on making an impact in the world. People are coming to us in transitionGiven our proximity to Silicon Valley, we do draw people from the tech world.

Președintele PSD, Marcel Ciolacu, a analizat pe scurt situația din SUA și a vorbit de o situație clară: dependența României de SUA. ”Întotdeauna în SUA au fost alegeri strânse și se pare că și acum e la fel”, atrage atenția Marcel Ciolacu, care spune că a stat în cursul nopții și ”se prefigurează o victorie a lui Trump”. Pe de altă parte, Ciolacu consideră că ”SUA împarte puterea și se creează echilibrul necesar” și recunoaște clar subordonarea față de SUA în materie de securitate:„Vorbim totuși de partenerul strategic al României”, spune Ciolacu. ”Cel puțin în zona de securitate, dependența României de Statele Unite este evidentă și este normal, suntem membri NATO - până la urmă, este cel mai important partener al României pe această zonă”. Dar, conchide Marcel Ciolacu, ”Statele Unite indiferent de cine merge la Casa Albă”.
