☆ Paul Watson: Anti-whaling activist arrested in Greenland faces extradition to Japan, CPWF says

CNN —Veteran environmentalist Paul Watson was arrested in Greenland on Sunday and faces possible extradition to Japan allegedly over anti-whaling activities in the Antarctic years ago, his organization said in a statement. The ship John Paul DeJoria and a 25-member crew were en route from Dublin, Ireland to the North Pacific to intercept Japan’s newly launched $48 million factory whaling ship the Kangei Maru, CPWF said. In a statement, Greenland police said they arrested Watson upon his arrival in Nuuk due to a Japanese arrest warrant. His foundation believes the arrest “is connected to a previous Red Notice issued for Watson’s anti-whaling activities in the Antarctic.”“This development comes as a surprise since the Foundation’s lawyers had reported that the Red Notice had been withdrawn. “Japan has never given up on its whaling ambitions,” Watson told CNN at the time.

When Kema Ward-Hopper uprooted her family — and career — to relocate from the U.S. to Costa Rica six years ago, she wasn't sure what to expect. She and her husband Nicholas quit their corporate jobs as a research analyst and mortgage broker, respectively, in Houston, Texas, to pursue new careers as entrepreneurs abroad. "I work 25 hours a week now," she says. "A heavy week is about 30 hours a week, but that is rare and happens about once a month." Last year, Ward-Hopper's different income streams earned her about $10,500, according to financial documents reviewed by CNBC Make It.

Because of its remote location, everything — including guest transfers, staff switching shifts, and even laundry runs — relies on motor-powered fishing boats. I booked a shuttle service from Costa Rica to Bocas Town and took a short taxi ride from the town center to the port. From there, the resort sent a boat to pick me up.

Supporters of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro attend a rally in Caracas on July 16, 2024.

Supplements, superfoods, and health hacks are advertised constantly to those looking to live a long, healthy life, but focusing on just those quick solutions is not very effective, according to leading longevity researcher Dan Buettner. On a recent episode of "Ten Percent Happier with Dan Harris," Buettner, who popularized the world's Blue Zones, spoke about how attempting to achieve good health through extreme measures can be counterproductive. In "five corners of the world," blue zones are living on average eight years longer than Americans, Buettner said. Yet, "none of them are tracking their steps, or taking superfoods, or running down to Costa Rica for stem cells." There's something that people in Blue Zones do that most Americans don't, and probably should, he noted.

If the Biden administration had its way, far more electronic chips would be made in factories in, say, Texas or Arizona. Those places may not be the first that come to mind when people think of semiconductors. But administration officials are trying to transform the world’s chip supply chain and are negotiating intensely to do so. The core elements of the plan include getting foreign companies to invest in chip-making in the United States and finding other countries to set up factories to finish the work. Officials and researchers in Washington call it part of the new “chip diplomacy.”

CNN —A video-gaming Italian teenager will become the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint after his cause for canonization was approved by church authorities. Often depicted wearing jeans and trainers, his story is seen as helpful for the Catholic Church as it seeks to better connect with the younger generation in a digital age, and he’s become popular with Catholic youth groups. In May, a second miracle attributed to Acutis was recognized by Pope Francis, a decision which paved the way for him to be declared a saint. He was reportedly healed after his mother said she prayed to Acutis to intercede and help heal her son. Her mother said she prayed for her daughter’s recovery at the tomb of Acutis in Assisi.
