☆ Humpback whale makes record journey from South America to Africa
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-12 | by ( Julianna Bragg | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

CNN —A male humpback whale has made an extraordinary journey from South America to Africa — traveling more than 13,046 kilometers (8,106 miles) — the longest migration recorded for a single whale, a new study found. Humpback whales typically return to specific breeding locations each year because whale populations tend to be geographically distinct. The future of migrationWhaling in the 20th century killed nearly 95% to 99% of the humpback whale population in the Indian Ocean, according to Cheeseman. As a result, little information remains about the behavior and lives of humpback whales in that region. However, if exceptions to standard migratory patterns continue, Cheeseman suggests that humpback whales may adopt behaviors from other populations.

☆ Scientists mapped the world’s rivers over 35 years. They found shocking changes
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-12 | by ( Laura Paddison | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

Scientists mapped the flow of water through every single river on the planet, every day over the past 35 years, using a combination of satellite data and computer modeling. Nearly half of the world’s largest downstream rivers — 44% — saw a drop in the amount of water flowing through them each year, according to the research published Thursday in the journal Science. While this may not yet give the local precision of other studies, “we think this is maybe the most accurate map of river flow ever made,” he said. Significant decreases in downstream rivers mean less water is available on the largest parts of many of the planet’s rivers, the report noted. “There is a direct link between human activity and the changes to our life-giving water cycle,” Cloke told CNN.

When I first started learning how to budget, I meticulously tracked every penny in a spreadsheet. These gurus taught me that developing sound money habits was a vital first step to achieving both goals. While they sometimes disagreed about what those sound money habits should be, one recurring suggestion I encountered was to track every last penny I spent or earned. Second, confronting my spending habits in black and white gave me an honest view of where my money was going. While developing sound money habits is important, recognizing when they've outlived their usefulness is also important.

☆ Why Walgreens is struggling even more than CVS
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-12 | by ( Nathaniel Meyersohn | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

Walgreens and private equity firm Sycamore Partners are discussing a deal to take Walgreens private, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday. Walgreens has slipped behind CVS because it’s smaller than CVS, giving it less scale to negotiate prices with insurers and other health care entities that pay for most of the prescriptions people pick up. Both the pharmacy business and the retail business are struggling for different reasons. Walgreens gets 26% of its US retail pharmacy sales from its front-end business, compared to 21% of sales at CVS. To be sure, CVS is struggling too, closing more than 1,000 stores in recent years.

☆ Too many chiefs? The case for consolidating tech executives

Most of the organizations whose leaders responded to the survey had multiple executive roles in the tech and data spaces. This includes chief information, technology, data, information security, digital, analytics and AI officers, and sometimes more. Just because Spens expects confusion about who to report to in the tech leadership space doesn't mean he thinks businesses should accept it. "It's something that organizations need to think about seriously," he said. Spens says identifying so-called "supertech leaders," or integrated technology leaders that combine at least two traditional tech titles into one, is key.

So to say Michigan Democrats were shocked by the mayor's decision to go independent is a bit of understatement. In my experience, most independent candidates who previously ran and won as Democrats or Republicans but then switch do so out of some political necessity. For the less politically engaged, a category that includes many key swing voters, this is a very appealing elevator pitch. But not every state party will be as desperate as Kansas Democrats were in accepting a party-switcher as its party savior. Ultimately, the national environment has never looked more enticing for independent candidates to disrupt the two-party duopoly.

☆ Certain foods may disrupt your body’s fight against cancer cells, study says
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-11 | by ( Sandee Lamotte | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +10 min

CNN —The food you eat may be affecting your body’s ability to fight cancer cells in the colon, according to a new study. The potential culprit: an overabundance of certain omega-6 fatty acids — perhaps from ultraprocessed foods in your diet — that may hinder the anti-inflammatory and tumor-fighting properties of another essential fatty acid, omega-3. Linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that is found in corn, peanut, soybean, safflower and sunflower oils, is the most common omega-6 in the US food supply. “It’s a leap to say that omega-6s from ultraprocessed foods are the cause. Many ultraprocessed foods are made with soybean and other vegetable oils that contain higer levels of omega-6 fatty acids.

In 10 years — give or take six months — the 2034 men’s World Cup will be played in Saudi Arabia. “Fundamental human-rights reforms are urgently required in Saudi Arabia, or the 2034 World Cup will be inevitably tarnished by exploitation, discrimination and repression.”Why will the Saudi bid stand unopposed? Instead, they will target the 2026 Women’s Asian Cup and the Club World Cup three years later. Sport has become one of Vision 2030’s pillars — and the 2034 World Cup will be its crowning glory. “We cannot say that Saudi Arabia is a ‘medium risk’ country, given that it has become a pure police state,” said Lina, ahead of Saudi Arabia being confirmed as host.

☆ ‘Conan the Bacterium’ is extremely radiation-resistant for a surprising reason
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-11 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

For the previous study, the team measured the amount of manganese antioxidants in the cells of the bacteria. The researchers found that the amount of radiation that a microorganism could survive was directly related to its amount of manganese antioxidants. So the more manganese antioxidants present, the more resistance to radiation. This antioxidant has been used in radiation-inactivated polyvalent vaccines, which rely on radiation to shut down pathogens like chlamydia. The study team analyzed how MDP’s active components, including manganese, phosphate and a peptide called DP1, protect cells and proteins from radiation exposure.

☆ ‘Black Beauty’ meteorite preserves evidence of hot, ancient water on Mars

But key questions remain about when exactly water first appeared on Mars and how it evolved — and disappeared — over time. Scientists analyzed a sample from the “Black Beauty” meteorite, also known as NWA 7034, that was found in the Sahara Desert in 2011. If hydrothermal systems existed in the Martian crust 4.45 billion years ago, liquid water likely made its way to the surface. “Many environments on Earth host life in hot water systems, including hot springs, and hydrothermal vents. Currently, the Perseverance rover is climbing the rim of Jezero Crater on Mars, an ancient lake once filled with water 3.7 billion years ago.
