AdvertisementA few years ago, my family started celebrating Thanksgiving a week before the actual holiday. In 2021, my mom had a proposition to move the day we celebrate Thanksgiving. Some family members travel from out of state and find travel more manageable and relaxing the week before the actual holiday. For example, my boyfriend celebrates the week before with us, and we spend Thanksgiving day with his family. AdvertisementBy having Thanksgiving early, we're able to celebrate the holiday and spend quality time with as many family members and friends as possible.

☆ Young Chinese are ditching planes to travel long distances by train and bus. Meet the ‘iron butt’ travelers

A growing group of Chinese travelers are now turning to extreme forms of transportation for their vacations. They call themselves “iron butt” travelers – inspired by the amount of time they spend traveling on uncomfortable seats that make flesh start to feel like metal. Iron butt travel lets me visit more places for less money,” another self-identified “iron butt” traveler, 27-year-old Peng Fei, told CNN. But that doesn’t mean he and his fellow “iron butt” travelers have to compromise the fun. Now, though, iron butt travelers are redefining – or perhaps gentrifying – this form of travel.

CNN —Humanity has thrown the global water cycle off balance “for the first time in human history,” fueling a growing water disaster that will wreak havoc on economies, food production and lives, according to a landmark new report. The water cycle refers to the complex system by which water moves around the Earth. “For the first time in human history, we are pushing the global water cycle out of balance,” said Johan Rockström, co-chair of the Global Commission on the Economics of Water and a report author. “Precipitation, the source of all freshwater, can no longer be relied upon.”Graphic showing the movement of "green water" and "blue water" in the global water cycle.

A doctor shortage is projected to hit 86,000 by 2036. According to the Rural Medical Training Collaborative, 133 rural residencies in family medicine and 69 rural-track programs are recruiting for 2025 enrollment, along with 30 internal-medicine residencies and 16 psychiatry residencies. Several pieces of legislation have also been introduced to Congress to address the doctor shortage. For example, HR 7855, the Association of American Medical Colleges-endorsed Rural Residency Planning and Development Act of 2024, would codify the Rural Residency Planning and Development Program, which funds the startup costs of residency training in rural areas, Dill said. From 2019 to 2024, the program has enabled the launch of 46 accredited rural residency programs across 38 states and Puerto Rico.
