NewsHow can we predict success in humans?
The brain evolved in three parts, from back to front: First, the so-called reptilian brain or spatial brain; then the monkey or social brain; and the most recently evolved section is the frontal lobe, which understands time.What's so special about this temporal ability? It allows humans to forecast into the future—to consciously plan, dream and strategize. That's a unique trait in the animal kingdom. Physicist Michio Kaku believes this trait may also define success among our species, as evidenced by the global correlation in the marshmallow test: Those who wait for the second marshmallow tend to be more successful in life. Listen to Kaku explain why that ability to look ahead and not take shortcuts may be an important predictor of success.

NewsChina: China's hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle market on fast lane of growth
China - November 18, 2024 China's hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle market on fast lane of growth (Voice_over) China’s hydrogen vehicle market has been accelerating in recent years, with the number of fuel cell vehicles on the road expected to hit one million by 2035. In north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, unmanned heavy-duty trucks carrying hydrogen tanks are shuttling back and forth at a mine. Staff from the mine said the hydrogen trucks function well in extremely cold weather and can run 20 hours a day non-stop. (Sound_bite) Liu Xi, director, Shengli Energy Electromechanical Information Center, China Energy Group: "The trucks work better in open mines in north China, where winter is longer and extreme cold conditions are more frequent. Hydrogen fuel cells can work stably on cold, windy and snowy days to ensure consistent supplies of energy. A hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle emits only water vapor while running and it is capable of working intensely for 20 hours non-stop a day." (Voice_over) Elsewhere in the country, hydrogen vehicles in the sanitary and logistics sectors are also hitting the roads in major cities. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are expected to experience a rapid expansion in China as the country aims to reach its dual carbon goals of peaking carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060.

NewsHonduras: Choluteca River Overflows, Tegucigalpa on High Alert
Tegucigalpa, Honduras - November 17, 2024 The Choluteca River surged past its banks as Tropical Storm Sara unleashed its fury on the region, now downgraded to a tropical depression after making landfall in Belize on November 17. The storm, which previously pummeled the northern coast of Honduras, left swollen rivers and trapped residents in their homes as torrential rain continued to batter the landscape. The U.S. National Hurricane Center reported that Sara would weaken further as it moved inland over the Yucatan Peninsula, yet the danger persists. In Belize, El Salvador, eastern Guatemala, western Nicaragua, and Mexico’s Quintana Roo, up to 5 inches of rain were forecasted, with localized totals potentially reaching 15 inches. The center warned of severe flash flooding and mudslides that could devastate affected areas. Northern Honduras, however, faced the harshest threat, with potential rainfall totals climbing to an alarming 40 inches. Officials cautioned that “catastrophic and life-threatening flooding” remained a grim reality as emergency response teams stayed on high alert. As the Choluteca River’s overflow brought Tegucigalpa to a standstill, communities brace for more relentless rain and potential devastation in the storm’s wake.
