☆ Beethoven’s hair reveals evidence of lead poisoning, scientists say
  + stars: | 2024-05-09 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +10 min
Beethoven’s genome was made publicly available, inviting researchers around the world to investigate lingering questions about Beethoven’s health. Meanwhile, scientists continue to figuratively go over the authenticated locks of Beethoven’s hair with a fine-tooth comb, teasing out surprising insights. But at the time the researchers did not test Beethoven’s newly authenticated hair samples for lead. Because the researchers don’t have hair samples from earlier in Beethoven’s life, it’s impossible to understand when the lead poisoning started, Meredith said. But Rifai said he saw comparable lead levels when he conducted research in two villages in Ecuador where the main trade is to glaze tiles with lead from batteries.

☆ Why Anonymous Sperm Donation Is Over, and Why That Matters

A 2010 survey, called “My Daddy’s Name Is Donor” and funded by the Institute for American Values, a conservative group, claimed that many donor-conceived children felt hurt and isolated by their origins. The study wasn’t peer reviewed, and other research has showed that donor-conceived children generally do as well as their peers. They say this creates the possibility of conflicts between how teenagers define their families and how their parents do. Lowering the age “leaves family more legally vulnerable,” says Courtney Joslin, a law professor at the University of California, Davis. “And it impacts both the social perception of the family and maybe how kids and parents see each other.”

☆ How West Africa Can Reap More Profit From the Global Chocolate Market

Fairafric, which buys beans from roughly 70 small farmers in the eastern region of Ghana, goes further, paying a premium for its organically grown beans — an additional $600 per ton above the global market price. Farmers harvest the ripe yellow pods by hand, and then crack them open with a cutlass, or thick stick. Attendance is down, the principal said, because the school has not been included in the government’s free school feeding program. Fairafric also installed a free canteen so all the factory shifts can eat breakfast, lunch or dinner on site. But “if you want to get the full benefit,” he said, “you have to go beyond just selling beans.”

☆ Beethoven's hair has been a big ticket item for years, auctioned for thousands — turns out it didn't all belong to him

It also revealed some locks considered to Beethoven's that sold for thousands, are not actually his. It was last sold for $7,300 in 1994 and has been displayed for decades as authentic Beethoven hair. -- The Stumpff lock sold for about $14,700 in 2016, and the researchers determined it most likely was authentic. In 2000, a lot that combined Beethoven's hair and hair from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart sold for more than $55,700. The book, "Beethoven's Hair: An Extraordinary Historical Odyssey and A Scientific Mystery Solved," was published in 2001 and later turned into a documentary.
☆ A non-profit that's poured $19 billion into affordable housing development shares how investors can see stable returns with this 'impactful investment opportunity'
