Russian troops captured or entered half a dozen villages on Ukraine's eastern front last week, highlighting the deteriorating situation in the region for outnumbered and outgunned Ukrainian forces as they long await American military aid necessary.“The situation at the front has worsened,” General Oleksandr Syrsky, Ukraine's commander-in-chief, said in a statement on Sunday in which he announced that his troops had withdrawn from two villages west of Avdiivka, a Ukrainian stronghold in the the east occupied by Russia. earlier this year, and another village further south.Military experts say Moscow's recent advances reflect its desire to exploit a window of opportunity to carry out attacks before the first batch of a new American military aid package arrives in Ukraine to help ...

Call it the end of the beginning of the AI ​​boom.Since mid-March, financial pressure on several AI startups has had a negative impact. Inflection AI, which raised $1.5 billion but earned next to nothing, has abandoned its original business. Stability AI has laid off employees and parted ways with its CEO. And Anthropic has raced to close the roughly $1.8 billion gap between its modest sales and huge expenses.The artificial intelligence revolution, it is becoming clear in Silicon Valley, will come at a very high price. And the tech companies that have bet their futures on it are scrambling to figure out how to close the gap between those expenses and the profits they hope to make in the future.This problem is particularly acute for a group of high-profile startups that have raised tens ...

World Central Kitchen said Sunday it will resume operations in Gaza with a local team of Palestinian aid workers, nearly a month after the Israeli army killed seven of the organization's workers in targeted drone strikes on their convoy.Israeli military officials said the attack was a "serious mistake" and cited a series of failures, including communication breakdowns and violations of military operating procedures.The Washington-based aid group said it was still calling for an independent international investigation into the April 1 attack and that it had received "no concrete assurance" that the Israeli military's operating procedures had changed. But the “humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire,” the humanitarian group's director of operations, Erin Gore, said in a stat...

For decades, the idea of ​​standing upright has carried with it considerable political and social baggage. Sagging was considered a sign of decay.In the early 20th century, posture exams became essential in the military, workplace, and schools, thanks in part to the American Posture League, a group of physicians, educators, and health officials formed in 1914. In 1917, one study found that approximately 80% of Harvard freshmen had poor posture. Industrialists have continued to accumulate posture-improving chairs, products and gadgets.But current science doesn't support conventional wisdom about correct posture, argues Beth Linker in her new book, "Slouch: Posture Panic in Modern America." Dr. Linker, a historian and sociologist of science at the University of Pennsylvania, recently ...

The Ukrainian marine infantryman endured nine months of physical and psychological torture as a Russian prisoner of war, but was given only three months of rest and rehabilitation before being sent back to his unit.The infantryman, who asked to be identified only by his call sign, Smiley, willingly returned to duty. But it was only when he underwent intense combat training in the following weeks that the depth and extent of his wounds, both psychological and physical, began to emerge.“I started having flashbacks and nightmares,” he said. "I only slept two hours and woke up with my sleeping bag soaking wet." He was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and referred for psychological treatment, and he is still receiving treatment.Ukraine is just beginning to understand the las...

Honda Motor said Thursday and several suppliers will invest $11 billion to build battery and electric cars in Ontario, a significant commitment from a company that has been slow to embrace the technology.Like Toyota and other Japanese automakers, Honda has emphasized hybrid vehicles, in which gasoline engines are boosted by electric motors, rather than cars powered solely by batteries. The Honda Prologue, an SUV made in Mexico, is the company's only all-electric vehicle on sale in the United States.But the investment adjacent to the company's plant in Alliston, Ontario, near Toronto, represents a change in direction, raising the possibility that Honda and other Japanese automakers could use their manufacturing expertise to lower the cost of electric vehicles and make them accessib...

The lobby of the Galilee Medical Center in northern Israel is mostly empty and silent. The roar of warplanes and intermittent thunder of artillery replaced the sounds of doctors, orderlies and patients at this major hospital near the Lebanese border.Almost all hospital staff and patients went into hiding.To reach the hospital's nerve center these days requires navigating 15-foot-high concrete barricades and multiple armored doors, then descending several floors into a labyrinthine underground complex.That's where thousands of patients and hospital workers have been for the past six months as attacks have intensified between Israeli forces and Hezbollah, the powerful Iranian-backed militia in Lebanon, just six miles to the north.The underground operation at the Galilee Medical Cent...

In the 10 years since drugmaker Gilead launched a breakthrough treatment for hepatitis C, a wave of new therapies have been used to cure millions of people around the world from the blood-borne virus.Today, 15 countries, including Egypt, Canada and Australia, are on track to eliminate hepatitis C within this decade, according to the Center for Disease Analysis Foundation, a nonprofit organization. Each has pursued a dogged national screening and treatment campaign.But the arsenal of drugs, which have brought tens of billions of dollars to pharmaceutical companies, has not brought the United States any closer to eradicating the disease.Spread through the blood including intravenous drug use, hepatitis C causes inflammation of the liver, although people may not show symptoms for years. Onl...

Landing by helicopter at the women's prison where the Vatican has set up its pavilion for the Venice Biennale international art exhibition, Pope Francis on Sunday told the women detained there that they had a "special place in my heart."“Thank you,” a woman shouted. Others applauded.Many women had participated with artists in creating works hung throughout the prison for the exhibition, titled “With My Eyes.” Francis, the first Pope to visit – albeit briefly – a Venice Biennale, stated that it is “fundamental” that the prison system “offers prisoners tools and spaces for human, spiritual, cultural and professional growth, creating the conditions for their healthy reintegration."“Not to isolate dignity, but to give new possibilities,” Francis said to applause.Over the decades, countri...
