Being diagnosed with cancer implies a long, arduous and painful journey for many Mexicans. However, a fighting spirit can give people the opportunity to face it and keep going on with their lives.

Lotus’ upcoming “exotic supercar” — the $80,000 Emira — will soon be featured on the floor of the British manufacturer’s ultra-modern new showroom in Bahrain.

Crossing a new rope bridge in Russia is a 105-foot-long exercise in not looking down. Every step lands on a crystal-clear plastic slab — and there’s ample daylight between them to gaze into a steep mountain incline at an altitude of more than 7,600 feet. If you weigh more than 220 pounds, you’ll have to find some other way to cross the chasm. The bridge at Rosa Peak in Sochi, Russia, the resort region famous for hosting the 2014 Winter Olympics, is shorter than similar ones that draw daredevils from all over the world. But most of those are continuous…
A dog that fled a burning forest, ran into the sea and battled the current owes its life to the efforts of the Turkish Coast Guard Command. A video shows a Coast Guard boat sailing alongside the dog in early August as it paddles furiously. One of the men uses a long pole to grab the dog’s collar and lift it onboard. Another man helps the dog land safely on deck, and a third pets the dog for reassurance and to check for injuries. It is unclear how long the dog was stranded in the sea, the Coast Guard said,…

MOSCOW — Following a neuroimaging experiment, the Higher School of Economics researchers found that the stronger the functional brain connects, the less inclined someone is to punish others for unfair behavior. Their paper “Wired to punish? Electroencephalographic study of the resting-state neuronal oscillations underlying third-party punishment” was published in the journal “Neuroscience.” Productive and predictive interaction with other people is possible thanks to the existence of numerous social norms. However, these norms do not guarantee that they will be followed: punishment for norm violators is needed. This is how various forms of social punishment act as tools to reinforce order and cooperation in…

New ways to prevent newborns from developing allergies are being developed using artificial intelligence. Startup MyOR is doing this. [“Or” means “skin” in Hebrew].

This gives pediatricians a tool to guide parents on how to prevent allergies. “We didn’t invent the idea that allergies can be avoided, but we did understand that there’s so much that parents need to know,” said CEO Idan Katz. The founders of the startup…
