Scientists have found that not all climate changes affect violence the same way. Two well-known patterns—the Pacific warming called El Niño and the Indian Ocean temperature flip called the Indian Ocean Dipole—can quietly push societies toward fighting, even when people don’t immediately notice the d
Every year, an event in New York City brings together accomplished women from different fields to celebrate more than just their achievements. The 2026 luncheon raised $1. 4 million for No Kid Hungry, a charity fighting childhood hunger across America. But it wasn’t just about money—it was about sho
Top leaders often have strict daily routines, but few make early-morning exercise a core part of their decision-making process. The CEO of a large restaurant chain starts his day with a run not just for health, but as a moving brainstorming session. Between 5 and 6 a. m. , he logs over three miles,

They often lead to efforts to fix or boost those emotions as a group. Experts call this "collective emotion regul
Every May, New York City’s Fifth Avenue transforms into a stage for one of the most exclusive nights in entertainment—the Met Gala. This year, guests stepped out of The Pierre hotel, their outfits blending high fashion with artistic themes like never before. The event’s theme, "Costume Art, " pushed
When leaders travel with business executives, big promises often follow. Trump’s 2025 trip to China wasn’t just about politics—it was a chance for CEOs to lock in deals before competitors could. A similar trip to the Middle East earlier that year showed how fast things can move. Saudi Arabia alone p
ALS is a rare but cruel disease that slowly shuts down the body while leaving the mind intact. Doctors have only approved three drugs for it since the mid-1990s, and none of them cure or stop the disease—they merely slow it down a little. Part of the problem is money.
