Sitting in a KFC restaurant in the former coal-mining town of Pomeroy, Ohio, a few hours before JD Vance addressed the Republican National Convention, Curtis Ramsey, 18, recalled the first time he heard the Ohio senator’s name. It was last month, he said, in the Washington office of another Ohio Republican, Representative Jim Jordan. Mr. Ramsey, who had never been to a big city or flown on an airplane before, was in the capital with two filmmakers seeking to draw attention to a new documentary, “Inheritance.” The film features Mr. Ramsey and examines the plight of drug-ravaged Appalachian communities like his own. When the filmmakers, Matt Moyer and his wife, Amy Toensing, explained to Mr. Jordan what their documentary was about, the congressman broke into a smile. “Sounds like the story of the next vice president of the United States!” Mr. Jordan said.

Support for a casino smoking ban is widespread among New Jersey lawmakers, with a bipartisan majority in both chambers, and Democratic Gov. Shreveport, Louisiana ended a smoking ban in its casinos in June. The casino industry opposes a smoking ban, saying it would lose customers and revenue if smoking were banned while still being allowed in casinos in nearby states.

In a culture that focuses so intensely on success, it’s easy to feel like a failure. But according to the organizational psychologist Adam Grant, that might be because we’re thinking about achievement all wrong. Many people assume that accomplishments are tied closely to innate ability, so they give up on pursuits they find challenging. That’s a mistake, Dr. Grant writes in his new book, “Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things.”Dr. Grant shares anecdotes about people who accomplished the extraordinary despite showing little aptitude at first — including himself. Interwoven with the stories he shares, Dr. Grant analyzes the paths and strategies that led to each success and discusses relevant insights from the research literature — his home turf.

Some fear AI could lead to job losses, with Goldman Sachs saying 300 million jobs could be impacted. Philip Moyer, vice president of Google Cloud's global AI business, told Insider that rather than taking workers' jobs, generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Bard will likely boost job satisfaction and help employees be more productive. However, it has faced questions over the accuracy of generative AI tools such as its Bard chatbot, which like its rival ChatGPT is prone to "hallucinating" wildly false information .

Third quarter ground delivery rates are forecast to fall 0.55% per package versus a the year earlier period, according to the TD Cowen/AFS Ground Pacrel Freight Index. But experts are skeptical, particularly as UPS offers to cover early termination fees for customers that switched to FedEx.

The Energy Department has announced a $325 million investment in new battery types that can help turn solar and wind energy into 24-hour power. Batteries are increasingly being used to store surplus renewable energy so that it can be used later, during times when there is no sunlight or wind. The department says the projects will protect more communities from blackouts and make energy more reliable and affordable. “Long-duration battery storage is like a rainy-day savings account for energy storage,” said Jodie Lutkenhaus, professor of chemical engineering at Texas A&M University. This one is led by the California Energy Commission in collaboration with Faraday Microgrids.

Several of the teens we spoke to said that, when possible, they remove accounts from their social media feeds that chip away at their self-esteem. Four of five teenagers in the United States said that what they see on social media makes them feel more connected to what’s going on in their friends’ lives, according to Pew Research Center. “Every time I open my phone, I don’t see perfect celebrities,” she said. “Sometimes I like to put alarms on to tell me when to stop being on my phone,” she said.

☆ Does Vitamin C Actually Help Your Skin?
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-15 | by ( Melinda Wenner Moyer | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

If you’ve spent time exploring the skin care side of TikTok, you know that dermatologists love to tout the benefits of vitamin C serums and creams. “All of its various benefits make it a top recommendation for most dermatologists,” said Dr. Fatima Fahs, a dermatologist in Michigan. Yet if you dig into the research on how vitamin C actually affects the skin, a different picture emerges. In one 2021 review published in The Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, for instance, Dr. Fahs and her colleagues evaluated how effective various vitamin C formulations were at improving skin health. The problem is that although vitamin C is likely good for the skin, it’s hard to make a product that works the way it’s supposed to.

Pop quiz: At what age should kids first see a dentist? Mott Children’s Hospital, roughly half of parents who responded said they believed they could wait until children were 2 or 3 before going to the dentist. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children first see a dentist within six months of the eruption of their first tooth, or by age 1. After that, the organization suggests children see a pediatric or general dentist every six months for cleanings and checkups. Because kids retain some of those teeth until the age of 12 or 13, it’s important to keep them healthy, said Dr. Judy Yip, a pediatric dentist in Garden Grove, Calif. Untreated cavities can lead to serious tooth infections, she said, and can even harm incoming adult teeth.

Panic over social media has reached a fever pitch. Diagnoses of mental illness among adolescents have been on the rise, and in May the U.S. surgeon general warned of “ample indicators” that social media may in part be to blame. But perhaps banning social media — or heavily monitoring kids who use it, which is another common parental response — isn’t the most constructive solution to the problem. Perhaps, instead, we should focus more on helping kids learn how to safely navigate social media and manage online privacy and decision-making. Here are some key takeaways from Dr. Heitner’s latest book and tips she shared for helping kids and teenagers safely navigate the online world.

"IT's environmental impact, as a proportion of the overall business impact, is increasing," Warburton said. "More than half of executives use spreadsheets for some ESG data," Moyer said. "They are generally among the most 'sustainably-savvy' organizations, with ambitious commitments for their own operations and deep expertise in minimizing IT's environmental impact," Warburton said. "If an enterprise has a net zero goal, IT should also have its own net zero goal.

Also look for retinol products labeled “encapsulated,” meaning the retinol is enveloped in a protective barrier and released into the skin over time, making it potentially less irritating. “Retinols can take anywhere between two to three months to start to take effect, and the benefits can continue to improve over the course of six months,” Dr. Garshick said. If the skin doesn’t become red, itchy or swollen within minutes or hours, you can start using it elsewhere, she said. Dr. Mitchell recommended applying a noncomedogenic (non-pore-clogging) moisturizer after using retinol to counteract irritation and dryness. And because retinol can make the skin more sun-sensitive, it’s always smart to use sunscreen during the day.

☆ Is That Water Too Polluted to Swim in?
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-28 | by ( Melinda Wenner Moyer | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

In recent weeks, floods in the Northeast have led to dozens of beach closures. Heavy rainfall and flooding increase the risk that water will be contaminated with disease-causing pathogens that people can accidentally ingest while swimming. One recent study estimated that 57 million illnesses each year are the direct result of people swimming in contaminated oceans, lakes, rivers and ponds in the United States. This doesn’t mean we should all stop swimming, though — it just means that there are certain situations and warnings to look out for. “I have a 6-year-old and an 8-year-old, and we go swimming all the time,” Ms. Hlavsa said.

If the temperature outside is greater than 90 degrees or if the sun is shining, your body will also be heated by the environment, Dr. Kavouras said. “As you’re adding this huge external heat source, the body’s got to deal with that,” said Glen Kenny, a physiologist who studies the body’s stress response at the University of Ottawa. The main way the body sheds heat is through the evaporation of sweat, which cools the surface of the skin, Dr. Kavouras explained. This happens more easily in dry heat than in humidity, but in dry heat, sweat can evaporate so quickly that you may not notice it. “You don’t even see it and you don’t even know that you’re getting so dehydrated,” Dr. Kavouras said.

Q: I’ve been really stressed out at work lately and have noticed that my hair is thinning and clumping in the shower. Is it true that stress can make your hair fall out? But if you’re losing more than that, it could be a sign of a condition called telogen effluvium, or excessive hair shedding. And telogen effluvium can certainly be induced by stress, said Dr. Antonella Tosti, a dermatologist who treats hair loss at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. Experts don’t know exactly how common telogen effluvium is, in part because many people are not diagnosed with it.

If your spit is sometimes tinged pink at least a couple of times a week after you brush or floss, it’s possible you have early stage gum disease. “It’s a very, very quiet disease,” said Dr. Rodrigo Neiva, chairman of periodontics at Penn Dental Medicine. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half of U.S. adults over the age of 30 show signs of gum disease, and nine percent have severe gum disease, known as periodontal disease. When left untreated, gum disease can become more difficult to remedy. And some research has connected periodontal disease with other undesirable health conditions, such as dementia, diabetes and heart disease.

Q: Sometimes I wake up a minute or two before my alarm is set to go off. In one telephone survey published in 1997, for instance, researchers from Iowa and Minnesota randomly interviewed 269 adults mainly in the Midwest. About three-quarters of those interviewed said they sometimes woke up before their alarms, and just under a quarter said they woke up so reliably that they never had to use an alarm. After the research team published a newspaper ad asking for people who always or regularly woke up at specific times without using an alarm, they invited 15 of those respondents into a lab and tracked their sleep for three nights. They found that five of the 15 awoke within 10 minutes of their target wake-up times all three times.

Here’s why some of us get extra swampy, and a few methods to cut down on chronic sweating.
