The initial application from Lykos presented positive data from two late-stage clinical trials that used MDMA in combination with talk therapy to treat PTSD. The advisers said it was also difficult to parse how much the accompanying talk therapy — an area that the FDA does not regulate — contributed to outcomes. Advocates for the treatment, including some veterans groups, said they were “incredibly disappointed” by the FDA decision. Dozens of clinical trials involving psychedelics are in various stages, and additional scrutiny can help strengthen the findings and build confidence. Psychopharmacology did not allow the study authors to publish a correction with data that excluded findings from one study site, said Allison Feduccia, an author in all three retracted studies.

CNN —Kevin Spacey has said that he was “too handsy” and that he’s been guilty of “pushing the boundaries” in the past, in a lengthy interview released Tuesday. The two-time Oscar winner was responding to claims of inappropriate behavior in an interview that ran for more than 90 minutes. “I’m absolutely 150% prepared to take accountability for those things and mistakes that I made… bad, bad, bad, behavior some times,” he told Piers Morgan Uncensored on YouTube. Last year, Spacey, 64, was found not guilty of seven counts of sexual assault and two counts of other serious sexual offenses following a four-week trial in London. The allegations covered a period between 2004 and 2013, when Spacey served as artistic director at the Old Vic theater in the British capital.

South Pointe Beach in Miami Beach, Florida. Climate risk is "always on our thoughts," said Habibian, 39, who moved to Miami-Dade County about six years ago. Despite that risk, 66% of Miami-Dade County residents said they'd never leave, according to a study published in the journal Climate Risk Management. "We try to be smart about it, try to be proactive as best we can," Arditi said of climate risk. Juxtaposed at left was one of the last remaining patches of mangroves in the urban Miami area, a living memorial to a once-thriving population.

The main Martyrs Cemetery in Khan Younis was already nearly full long before the latest bout of warfare brought new pressure for grave sites. Like many other Gaza cemeteries, a "Burial is prohibited here" sign hung on its fence. We have to bury them in random areas scattered around between the houses or in empty lots donated by landlords," said Adel Hamada, a volunteer helping with burials at Khan Younis in southern Gaza. CONSTANT BURIALSThe Samour family was killed on Wednesday night when a strike hit their house in Khan Younis. In Khan Younis, a group of people stood atop the debris remaining from the destruction of a house by an airstrike.

☆ The first known hybrid between a dog and a fox was discovered in Brazil after being hit by a car

The first known hybrid between a pampas fox and a domestic dog was discovered in Brazil. Her father was a domestic dog of an unspecified breed. AdvertisementAdvertisementThe dog-fox resembles both a dog and a fox and shares characteristics with both animals, scientists said. Other names suggested for the animal were "graxorra" and "dogxim," which reference the Portuguese names for the pampas fox and female dog. This type of hybridization can threaten wildlife conservation due to risks of introgression and disease transmission by the dog, the study said.

☆ America Came on Down, and Bob Barker Was Thrilled Every Time

(An unusually dark aspect of the Carey era: a new game called Pay the Rent.) Contestants lucky enough to come on down won prizes that some of them could not have afforded otherwise, prizes that they may not have wanted and. People populated that studio audience because they weren’t at work, because work couldn’t substitute for the excitement of being on television. If we watched the show in the Barker years, if we watch it now, that likely means that we weren’t at work either. If he wanted a new car, no yodeling would be required, no frenzy.

As her husband watched her his heart yearned towards her and he caressed her fondly, saying, “My own wife, do not take these things too bitterly to heart. Her husband noticed,and filled with pity now, Hector stroked her gently,trying to reassure her, repeating her name: “Andromache,dear one, why so desperate? No man alive has ever escaped it,neither brave man nor coward, I tell you —it’s born with us the day that we are born. And his loving wife went home, turning, glancingback again and again and weeping live warm tears. Emily Wilson (2023)In my own translation of the “Iliad,” I echo the metrical regularity of the original by using unrhyming iambic pentameter.
