How does your body heal a wound?

Kuwait intercepted incoming weapons

Kuwait’s military said its air defenses intercepted Iranian missiles and drones and warned residents to follow official safety instructions.

The blockade is affecting ships

U.S. Central Command said it had redirected 86 commercial vessels, disabled three and boarded two to enforce the blockade.

Civilian deaths are under review

Iranian officials said an alleged U.S. strike on a wedding party killed at least four people, while the U.S. military said it was investigating and does not target civilians.

Community secrecy keeps classes open

The school does not advertise, and students find it through word of mouth while families and neighbors help protect its location.

Hundreds attend despite the danger

Farimah says the home-based school unexpectedly grew to teach hundreds of teenagers, although teachers could face prison or worse if discovered.

Education helps rebuild futures

Students who had spent years isolated say the classes restored hope and inspired them to teach other girls, while education’s absence can increase pressure toward marriage.

China’s investments are substantial

China has invested more than $10 billion in Egypt, including a business hub near Cairo and an electric rail line in the Nile Delta.

The canal raises Egypt’s value

With shipping through the Strait of Hormuz heavily disrupted, the Egypt-controlled Suez Canal offers an alternative route for moving energy supplies from the region.

Military cooperation is expanding

The August air exercise involved China’s J-16 fighters and Egypt’s French-made Rafales, marking the first time those Chinese jets took part in a combat exercise there.

Audit revenue fell sharply

Money collected through audits dropped from $10 billion in fiscal 2024 to $6.5 billion in fiscal 2025.

Unpaid taxes remain widespread

The IRS estimates that about $696 billion in taxes goes unpaid each year, mostly because people and businesses under-report income.

Partnership checks collapsed

Audits of partnerships fell 76% between 2023 and 2025, while the top 1% of earners account for roughly one-third of the tax gap.

The oil is difficult to produce

Much of the Orinoco Belt’s crude is extra-heavy, so bringing it to market requires specialized work and repaired infrastructure.

New supply will take years

Experts say Venezuela’s neglected oil industry means meaningful production growth and any effect on gasoline prices or U.S. oil reserves are unlikely to happen quickly.

Chevron cites low production costs

The company says it costs about $20 per barrel to produce oil in Venezuela, though that figure does not describe the full cost of expanding the new projects.

Essentials use has doubled

Nearly 30% of BNPL users said they used the loans for groceries, up from 14% two years earlier.

Multiple loans can overlap

Borrowers may take out plans from different providers whose automatic withdrawals arrive around the same time and drain their bank accounts.

Rent plans still carry costs

Affirm's rent-splitting pilot charges members $35 to $50 per month even though the installments have no interest or late fees.

The files appeared authentic

Cybersecurity journalist Brian Krebs and other victims verified the scans, including a scan of Krebs's own license.

Several companies used IDScan

IDScan's reported clients included Hertz, Target, FedEx, Motorola and Jack Henry, though the article does not establish that all were affected.

The leak included more documents

The advertised database reportedly contained medical cards, employment records and residence cards in addition to driver's licenses.

Several ride types qualify

Customers booking UberX, Uber Comfort or Uber Electric could be matched with a Wayve-equipped Ford Mustang Mach-E.

Prices remain unchanged

Uber says autonomous rides will cost the same as traditional rides, although the app will not automatically prompt passengers to tip.

Expansion is already underway

Uber already operates autonomous vehicle fleets in Dallas, Las Vegas, Atlanta and Austin, with Los Angeles and the Bay Area planned next.

Inference is the new battleground

The competition is increasingly focused on lowering the cost of producing answers after a model has been trained, rather than only building the most capable model.

Open-weight models cut cloud reliance

Because some smaller models can run locally, businesses may avoid sending every request to a cloud provider and reduce their cloud spending.

Two AI markets are emerging

Customers paying for accuracy and advanced reasoning may continue choosing US models, while cost-sensitive users can favor cheaper Chinese alternatives.

Genetic data served as a proxy

Researchers used naturally occurring GLP1R gene activity to estimate GLP-1 receptor activity rather than directly tracking prescriptions in patients.

Other risks did not explain it

The 7% association remained after researchers accounted for hypertension, insulin resistance and low testosterone.

The sample had important limits

The genetic databases were made up mostly of white participants, and the analysis of inherited pattern hair loss focused on men.

Naloxone access expanded widely

Federal requirements pushed states to create plans for making the overdose-reversal drug widely available, including through vending machines and emergency responders.

Treatment reached more people

Colorado more than doubled its methadone clinics in five years, while New York increased medications for incarcerated people sevenfold between 2022 and 2025.

The drug supply may matter most

Researchers suspect changing drug potency and contaminants, including xylazine and medetomidine, help explain why death rates varied so widely across states.

Younger adults show a different pattern

Among adults ages 20–54, colorectal cancer led alcohol-attributable cancer deaths in men, while breast cancer led in women.

Rates varied sharply by location

In 2023, Washington, D.C., had the highest alcohol-attributable cancer mortality rate and Utah had the lowest.

Alcohol is a known carcinogen

The International Agency for Research on Cancer places alcohol in its highest-risk Group 1 category, alongside tobacco smoke and asbestos.

MRI revealed earlier signals

Researchers compared older MRI scans from people who later developed detectable plaques with scans from people who did not.

Plaques may not start everything

The changes could reflect damage that helps cause plaque buildup, effects of hidden plaque-related processes, or separate biological mechanisms.

Treatment targets may broaden

If changes begin independently of amyloid accumulation, future drugs may need to target biological processes beyond plaques.

The gap is extremely narrow

Solar exceeded coal by only about 3 GW, so a small change in installations or accounting could affect the comparison.

Capacity is not actual output

Installed capacity measures how much equipment could produce under ideal conditions, while electricity generation measures what it actually produces.

Coal remains a major force

Coal still has nearly as much installed capacity as solar, meaning this milestone does not show that coal plants have disappeared or stopped operating.

Coral chemistry records temperature

Changes in strontium and oxygen forms inside coral skeletons reveal whether the surrounding seawater was warmer or cooler when each layer formed.

Recent swings beat older extremes

The past 40 years showed roughly 36 percent more ENSO variability than preindustrial times and about 16 percent more than the 1851–1982 period.

Scientists still debate the link

Some studies have not found a strong connection between global warming and ENSO variability, even though several researchers say the evidence now favors an effect.

Five picks vanish from future drafts

The forfeited first-round selections cover every draft from 2029 through 2033, reducing the Clippers’ ability to add young talent for years.

Executives received different punishments

Owner Steve Ballmer was suspended for one year, business president Gillian Zucker for one year without pay, and basketball president Lawrence Frank for six months without pay.

Leonard avoided a suspension

Leonard must pay $700,000 and accepted responsibility for judgment lapses in his inner circle, but he was not banned from playing.

Belgium relies on chemistry

Belgium assisted on 156 of its 171 field goals at the March qualifying tournament and made 43% of its three-point attempts.

China brings unmatched size

China's lineup includes 7-foot-3 Zhang Ziyu and 6-foot-9 Han Xu, creating a frontcourt challenge no other country can match.

Australia lost key shooting

Australia's upset hopes took a major hit when 38-year-old perimeter star Sami Whitcomb was ruled out with a left knee injury.

Rodgers missed preseason action

He did not play on the field during Pittsburgh’s preseason and instead worked behind the scenes at the team facility.

His career is nearly over

The 2026 season is expected to conclude Rodgers’ 22-year career in the NFL.

Leadership is under scrutiny

The criticism centers on whether publicly calling out a teammate matches fans’ expectations of a team leader.

Heart arteries became narrowed

Coronary artery disease usually develops when fats, cholesterol and other materials build up inside the blood vessels that supply the heart.

Other illnesses were contributing factors

The record distinguished the stroke and kidney cancer from the underlying cause by listing them as conditions that contributed to his death.

His stroke changed his mobility

Curry had the stroke in 2012 and used a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Arashi releases arrive in stages

Nine archival concert titles begin streaming Sept. 15 before the new documentary and Tokyo Dome concert film are released in December.

Adaptations span several formats

The slate draws from manga, novels and light novels, including a manga about a makeup artist and a sci-fi story based on reincarnation.

Prime Video wants deeper fandom

Beyond making originals, the service plans to combine add-on channels, rentals and partners such as dAnime and Anime Times to serve specific genre audiences.

Klum has judged in two stretches

She served on the judging panel from 2013 to 2018 and again from 2020 to 2024.

Cowell’s absence is temporary

His procedure was described as routine and connected to the serious spinal injury from his 2020 e-bike accident.

Guest judges have filled gaps

Kenan Thompson previously substituted for Cowell during Season 15 in 2020 and did so again this week.

The target requires rapid growth

More than 100 million visitors would be 46% above the 2025 level and about 25% higher than the U.S. pre-pandemic peak.

The World Cup offered exposure

The tournament involved 11 U.S. cities plus five other markets in Canada and Mexico, giving international audiences many chances to see the region.

Attention has not become arrivals

Despite the tournament being viewed by industry and administration leaders as a success for showcasing streamlined entry, overseas visits still fell year over year in June and July.

Some nationalities lose access

About 20 nationalities, including Mexico, Colombia, and Sri Lanka, will no longer qualify for visa-free entry and must apply for an electronic visa before flying.

Entry paperwork still matters

Visitors need a passport valid for at least six months with a blank page, proof of onward travel within 30 days, and a free Thailand Digital Arrival Card submitted within three days before arrival.

Longer stays have legal routes

Visitors can request one 30-day extension inside Thailand for 1,900 Thai baht, or apply for a tourist e-visa in advance if they already expect to stay longer.

Some homes sit high above the ocean

The Nehalem guesthouse is perched about 300 feet above the Pacific, with a 15-minute downhill walk to the beach and access to nearby state parks.

Several rentals have unusual histories

A renovated 116-year-old Seaside home once operated as the town’s brothel, though its current design shows no traces of that past.

Large groups get resort-style extras

The Neskowin estate sleeps 14 and includes direct beach access, a sauna, hot tub, pool table, shuffleboard, and firepit.

Federal support depends on participation

Under the Community Eligibility Provision, schools qualify for federal help when at least 25% of students participate in programs such as SNAP, while schools with participation of 62.5% or more receive full federal coverage.

Applications can miss struggling families

Free or reduced-price meal applications mainly measure income, so families facing large rent increases or medical bills may earn too much on paper while still being unable to afford food.

Ending free meals can create debt

When universal meals end, unpaid meal balances can shift costs to school districts, with districts reporting debts as high as $1.7 million after a pandemic-era waiver ended in 2023.

Apprenticeships pay as skills grow

Registered apprentices start earning wages immediately, receive classroom instruction alongside job training, and generally see pay increase as they master new competencies.

Some programs include college credit

Programs such as those at Harper College can lead to an associate degree, with the option to transfer later into a four-year program.

Training can target local demand

Sector-based programs work with employers to prepare students for specific industries, such as Connecticut's one- to two-year advanced manufacturing programs.

AI handles evidence best

The technology performed best when judging whether students combined information from several sources and whether their evidence was strong.

Four skills remain harder

AI was less accurate at spotting counterarguments, separating facts from opinions, judging conclusions, and finding logical fallacies.

Human oversight still matters

Researchers warn that errors may affect students whose experiences are underrepresented in the data, including Black and low-income students.

Consent rules vary by state

Some states require everyone in a conversation to agree to a recording, while others require only one participant's consent, and a nonparticipant generally cannot secretly record a private conversation.

Venue managers can intervene

In a restaurant, store, or other public-access space, staff may be able to remove someone who is causing trouble even when they cannot legally stop all recording.

Detection tools are imperfect

Nearby Glasses uses Bluetooth signals to look for possible smart glasses, but it cannot reliably identify who is wearing them or prove that anyone is recording.

Later breakfasts showed rising risk

After 8 a.m., each additional hour before the first meal was linked to a 3% higher risk of death from any cause and a 5% higher risk of cardiovascular death during follow-up.

Very late dinners raised concerns

People whose last meal came after midnight tended to have higher death risk, while experts noted that eating after dusk has also been linked in earlier research with blood-sugar problems and diabetes.

The evidence has important limits

Because participants reported their eating times and researchers looked back at existing data, healthier people may have had better routines or greater resources that influenced the results.

House-made options may fit better

Chefs may have their own fermented hot sauce, mayonnaise, or dressing that is designed specifically to complement the dish.

The setting changes the etiquette

A personal condiment is generally less conspicuous at a breakfast spot or tavern than at a restaurant built around a carefully defined culinary style.

No seasoning suits everyone

Restaurants serving hundreds of people cannot realistically season every plate to each diner’s preferred level of salt, heat, or acidity.
