Emerson Moser , 46, of Cincinnati, general counsel for Meridian Bioscience, on his 2010 Dodge Viper ACR, as told to A.J. My dad was a General Motors engineer, and we spent a lot of time going to racetracks and car shows. When I was in college at Purdue in the 1990s, I was walking across campus one day when I saw a Dodge Viper on display in the Engineering Mall. I thought: This is the coolest, most exotic American car I have ever seen. It had a V-10 engine partially developed by Lamborghini.

Published in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution scientific journal on Wednesday, the study reveals that the great bustards ate an abundance of corn poppies (Papaver rhoeas) and purple viper’s bugloss (Echium plantagineum). In humans, corn poppies have been used for their medicinal properties as a sedative and pain relief while purple viper’s bugloss can be toxic if consumed. Both plants were highly effective in killing or inhibiting the effects of the protozoa and nematodes, according to the study. The purple viper’s bugloss showed moderate defensive action against the fungi. “We normally associate self-medication in species like primates, so to see researchers studying endangered birds is brilliant,” Rose told CNN.

Greece's defense minister said that "as long as there is a threat of territorial sovereignty, it renders futile any attempt at communication."

☆ What to do when something at work goes against your moral code — and your boss doesn't care

This week's letter is from a manager whose colleague has lied and his boss doesn't care. Experts say he's experiencing moral injury — when an event or behavior violates your values. I'm a bank procurement manager who's dealing with a difficult situation with one of my colleagues, "Melanie." Most research related to moral injury concerns members of the military, as combat and war create situations that might conflict with people's moral and ethical values. There's no easy remedy for moral injury.

2024 Cadillac Celestiq CadillacDETROIT – Cadillac is testing the limits of its brand allure and pricing power with the 2024 Celestiq – a large, bespoke electric car that will start at more than $300,000. The vehicle – unveiled Monday night – launches the General Motors brand into the ultra-luxury segment against the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce. Executives say the vehicle is more about creating a "halo car" that helps burnish Cadillac's image, rather than fueling overall sales or profits. 2024 Cadillac Celestiq CadillacHarvey declined to discuss the vehicle's profit margins or whether the company plans to add additional hand-built models. Cadillac has not sold a hand-built vehicle for decades, but its crosstown rivals have offered such cars as custom performance models.

"Diamondback has unparalleled drilling economics from its ownership of royalties via Viper Energy Partners. And we see a long runway of core inventory across both flanks of the Permian," he said.
