I'm a nutritionist from Nara, Japan, and seaweed is one of the most nostalgic foods for me. The most lively and robust elders in my life, my 99-year-old aunt (she will be 100 in January!) and my in-laws who are 95 and 88, swear by a daily bowl of miso soup with wakame seaweed. Bonus points if I can get some red tosaka seaweed. Seaweed is a food that I will happily eat throughout my life.

☆ Wealthy countries' $300 billion offer seeks to end COP29 stalemate

People walk past the logotype at the venue for the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku on November 11, 2024. The European Union, U.S. and other wealthy countries at the COP29 summit have agreed to raise their offer to $300 billion per year by 2035 to help developing nations deal with climate change, sources told Reuters on Saturday, after a previous proposal was dismissed as insultingly low. The shift in position came after a $250 billion proposal for a deal, drafted by Azerbaijan's COP29 presidency on Friday, was panned by developing countries as insufficient. It was not clear if the wealthy countries' revised position had been formally communicated to developing countries at COP29, and whether it would be enough to win their support. The U.S. delegation at COP29 and the UK energy ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

☆ Opinion | Three Theories of the Trump Cabinet

It did seem, at least, that the appointments to Trump’s cabinet might help us make plausible statements about the trajectory of his administration. That Trump has picked more loyalists than last time is true, inevitable and not especially useful in terms of figuring out how exactly (apart from never appointing a special prosecutor to investigate the boss!) That some of his nominees are eccentric or unfit-seeming and others are more conventional is likewise to be expected. Neither observation gives us a general theory of Trump 2.0. Instead, let’s consider three subtheories of how this cabinet might actually work.

“It’s many, many things under one umbrella.”Although people diagnosed with autism often have similar strengths and challenges, “there are many paths to autism and many presentations of autism,” Miller said. Scientists have identified more than 100 genes related to autism, Miller said, and genes are believed to play a role in 60% to 80% of cases. “We’re making leaps and bounds about known genetic causes of autism.”Yet genes clearly don’t explain every case of autism. But only a fraction of children with the genetic mutation actually develop autism, Miller said. He notes that only 8.4% of the $419 million spent on autism research in the United States is devoted to support and services for people with autism.

In some exceptional circumstances, the debt brake can be suspended — this happened for example during the Covid-19 pandemic. watch nowWhen the debt brake was first implemented, its advocates argued that it would ensure a sustainable, responsible approach to public finances and spending. Critics meanwhile, say the debt brake is too restrictive, and that it has hampered investment which is necessary for a successful future.
