Study: Long-Distance Running Isn't Bad for Your Knees
According to a recent study published by researchers from University College London, long-distance running doesn't harm knees — it can actually reinforce them. Led by Dr. Alister Hart, an orthopedic surgeon and former London marathoner (who was interested in how the running had affected his knees), the team of researchers took MRIs of the knees of 80 first-time marathoners, all of them middle-aged, six months before their marathon and two weeks after. To keep matters consistent across the board,

Electric-Powered Commercial Airplane Makes History | Fortune

Pound for pound, batteries pack far less energy than aviation fuel, which has as much as 40 times greater energy . That means batteries are stuffed everywhere there is space in Harbour Air's Beavers, Ganzarski said. 

Given batteries' low energy density it likely will be decades before the world sees all-electric regional and large commercial jetliners, aerospace consultant Bjorn Fehrm writes for Leeham News and Analysis, a news site run by the Seattle-area aerospace consulting firm Leeham.

Disease transmission and introgression can explain the long-lasting contact zone of modern humans and Neanderthals | Nature Communications

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-12862-7

We propose that after several hundred thousand years of largely independent evolution, Neanderthals and Moderns likely acquired immunity and tolerance to different suites of pathogens—a temperate pathogen package in the case of Neanderthals and a tropical pathogen package in Moderns. The re-establishment of contact in the Levant would have resulted in exposure of each species to novel pathogens carried by the other species. In turn, these pathogens could have spread to the new susceptible hosts, placing a considerable disease burden on both species.

Measles is one of the world's most contagious diseases, with the potential to be extremely severe. In 2017, the most recent year for which estimates are available, it caused close to 110 000 deaths. Even in high-income countries, complications result in hospitalization in up to a quarter of cases, and can lead to lifelong disability, from brain damage and blindness to hearing loss. 

The disease is almost entirely preventable through two doses of a safe and effective vaccine.

Nicolae Ceaușescu - Wikipedia

He also blamed the Timișoara riots on "fascist agitators who want to destroy socialism."^[35]

However, Ceaușescu had misjudged the crowd's mood. Roughly eight minutes into his speech, several people began jeering and booing, and others began chanting "Timișoara!" He tried to silence them by raising his right hand and calling for the crowd's attention before order was temporarily restored, then proceeded to announce social benefit reforms that included raising the national minimum wage by 200 lei per month to a total of 2,200 per month by January 1. Images of Ceaușescu's facial expression as the crowd began to boo and heckle him were among the most widely broadcast of the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe.^[13]

1549. Daniel Webster (1782-1852). Respectfully Quoted: A Dictionary of Quotations. 1989

The freest government, if it could exist, would not be long acceptable, if the tendency of the laws were to create a rapid accumulation of property in few hands, and to render the great mass of the population dependent and penniless. In such a case, the popular power would be likely to break in upon the rights of property, or else the influence of property to limit and control the exercise of popular power. Universal suffrage, for example, could not long exist in a community where there was great inequality of property…. In the nature of things, those who have not property, and see their neighbors possess much more than they think them to need, cannot be favorable to laws made for the protection of property. When this class becomes numerous, it grows clamorous. It looks on property as its prey and plunder, and is naturally ready, at all times, for violence and revolution.
