This isn’t just an entertaining thought experiment; it’s an excellent analogy for something our own governments have been doing: pumping money into the economy and creating a situation that in many ways resembles the effects of Pax–at least when it comes to the male part of the population. In recent years, numerous scholars have written on the topic of how working-class men are withering in an otherwise prosperous society. Nicholas Eberstadt, an economist at the American Enterprise Institute has just published an updated version his 2016 book Men Without Work, in which he demonstrates that a trend that began in the 90s was accelerated by the pandemic, when government programs incentivized many men to go into a form of “premature retirement” and drop out of the workforce....

This is all real. It’s all valid. And it’s all critical to keep front of mind. But here’s what we don’t talk about enough: Women are out here crushing it. No, really. We’re crushing it. I don’t mean this in a patronizing “nice job, ladies, you met the minimum standard and managed to function in a man’s world” type of way. I mean we’re beginning to view barriers as arbitrary social constructs....

Improving Mental Health Is A Global Priority Across the U.S. and worldwide, millions of people are affected by mental health-related issues. People living with a mental illness (or those who know somebody who does) understand the critical importance of addressing mental health through education, advocacy and access to care. Despite the great strides made in recent years to destigmatize mental illness, public education around the issue is still lacking. Awareness campaigns like May’s Mental Health Awareness Month can help....

Depp, 58, has filed a $50 million lawsuit against Heard, 36, alleging that she defamed him in an op-ed published by The Washington Post in 2018, in which said she was a victim of domestic abuse. While Heard did not name Depp in the article, his lawyers have argued that it was obvious she was referring to the actor. Heard has countersued for $100 million for nuisance, with her attorneys arguing that the op-ed was a matter of public interest....

READ MORE: Phelan says Hull City must grow up Mike Phelan’s first game in permanent charge of the Tigers ran into a rampant Cherries display, with Charlie Daniels, Steve Cook, Junior Stanislas, Callum Wilson and Dan Gosling all on target at the Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth’s third home Premier League win in succession lifts it into the top half of the table and Howe hailed his side’s greater efficiency in front of goal after it had hit the woodwork three times in a 2-2 draw at Watford before the international break....

In addition to that hardware magic trick, this Windows 10 PC sports a 512GB SSD, a battery rated for over 12 hours of video playback and the latest wireless standards (Bluetooth 5 and Wi-Fi 6). But I wanted to see if it could live up to the hype as Huawei’s highest performing laptop to date. And starting right from its Cortana voice-interaction assisted installation process, I was pleasantly surprised....

Sitting in a pew at Cornerstone Family Church in Des Moines, Huckabee was merely a parishioner, a man being ministered to on the eve of perhaps the most important week of his life. The pastor’s sermon could not have been more fitting. Titled “Pressing Toward the Mark,” it was a Biblical message about perseverance in the race of life. “Have you ever felt like giving up? Of course you have!...

Arsenal must stump up for Lacazette Mooy moved to England from sister club Melbourne City in 2016, but never played for Pep Guardiola’s side, instead being loaned out to David Wagner’s. Huddersfield subsequently gained promotion to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs, with Mooy making 48 appearances, scoring four goals and providing seven assists, and they have now re-signed him on a permanent deal until 2020, with the option to extend the contract for a further year....

Also this week, Bender and Iyer look beyond the league's Big Four quarterbacks (Manning, Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees) to look at the next best based on three categories. The quarterback you want now Bender: Matt Stafford, Lions. "He's started to take that next step. He's leading comebacks and winning on the road. He's not that out of the park quarterback quite yet, but he's getting the job done....

Internet users flocked to share tributes and moments of grief over Huey’s death. Twitter was full of memorial moments, most of which mentioned the release “Pop, Lock & Drop It” as Huey’s defining moment in his rise to stardom. The song was released in 2006 and since has gained 25.5 million plays on Spotify. Along with the song, of course, was the dance that puts TikTok trends to shame. IT was a defining cultural moment that united people in song and dance and led to the creation of a list of viral videos....

Hazard on best ever run The Potters fell behind to Glenn Whelan’s second-half own goal, before Bojan Krcic took advantage of an Adrian blunder to rescue a point. The point lifts Stoke to 11th in the Premier League table, further away from the relegation zone where it spent time earlier in the season with no wins from its opening seven league games. Hughes said that was a false position and that his side are back playing attractive football....

CONTRERAS: Where do you think Saddam Hussein is hiding right now? MARTINEZ: In a big city. It could well be Baghdad. I doubt he’s in a small town because he would be more easily detected. Why’s that? When Jose Rodriguez Gacha, the other head of the Medellin cartel, was hunted down and killed [in 1989], Pablo Escobar said it was because Gacha had left his native region and gone to an area of [Colombia’s Pacific] coast where it would be very difficult to go unnoticed....

When Broadway was still the hottest entertainment around, dancer Gwen Verdon was the sexiest thing on two feet–particularly as the irresistibly devilish Lola in “Damn Yankees.” Verdon died last week at the age of 75. From 1955 to 1981, James C. Jones lent a unique perspective to NEWSWEEK’s auto-industry coverage. A former Detroit bureau chief, he was 77.

As these crimes continue, and the Tigrayan people continue to suffer, rights-respecting countries like the United States should take action. The war on Tigray rages on. Ethiopia signed a peace agreement with Tigrayan forces on Nov. 2, 2022, but Ethiopia breached the agreement within 24 hours. Drone strikes launched the next day caused civilian casualties in Tigray, and humanitarian aid remained blocked from the region for weeks. Most concerningly, Eritrean forces are still present in Tigray, and reports indicate that they are continuing to commit atrocity crimes against Tigrayans....

The U.N. Human Rights Office cited “persistent allegations of obstruction and lack of cooperation” from the Catholic Church. The experts said in an April 7 letter made public on Monday that the church demonstrated a pattern of behavior “to protect alleged abusers, cover up crimes, obstruct accountability of alleged abusers, and evade reparations due to victims.” The experts also alleged bids were made by select church members to undermine attempts to prosecute child sex offenders in national legislatures....

The activists had attempted to sneak onto the site, Greece’s Temple of Hera, to protest Beijing’s designation as the host city for the Olympics despite recent concerns of human rights violations in China. The three activists ran toward the lit torch while carrying a Tibetan flag and a banner that said “No genocide games,” in reference to the treatment of Uyghur Muslims in the northwest region of Xinjiang in China....

They depend on the Tatmadaw, the country’s military forces, moving into the 21st century and realizing that security can no longer be bought by brute force. The narrow military and police-centered notion of security, which served only small sections of society, may have worked in the past. But Myanmar has been opening up for some 10 years now. For a generation of young people who grew up with at least a semblance of democracy, with resulting steady economic growth and TV and social media at their disposal, the notion of security by military control is an anachronism....

The study was published in the journal Scientific Reports. Distinctive stone knives suggest the species shared primitive technologies and may even have interbred. Computer modeling found the two species lived side by side for between 1,400 and 2,900 years. Lead author Igor Djakovic, a Ph.D. student at Leiden University, The Netherlands, said it is the first evidence of direct encounters “at any regional scale.” Despite their stocky frames and heavy brows, Neanderthals were remarkably like us and occupied Europe for more than 300,000 years....
