Sanitary pads are now tax-free in India. The Indian government has decided to scrap a controversial 12% tax on the feminine hygiene products, it announced, marking a victory for campaigners who have lobbied against the tax for more than a year. Activists say removing the tax on pads tackles one of the biggest barriers to education for girls, who are often forced to stay at home due to a lack of access to clean hygiene products, while also facing stigma and a lack of toilets in schools. Periods are among the leading factors for girls to drop out of school in India, where four out of five women and girls are estimated by campaigners to have no access to sanitary pads during their period.(See photo)

研究:幼兒更善于做決定

ChinaDaily 2018.07.25

A new study from the University of Waterloo has found that in some ways, the older you get the worse your decision making becomes. The study established that younger children seem to make slightly better decisions than older children. The older children get, the more they tend to ignore some of the information available to them when making judgments. “Kids at different ages don't treat all information similarly when we set out to teach them ne things,“ said Stephanie Denison, an associate professor in the Department of Psychology. Children will use the data in the way they think makes the most sense. The younger children were more likely to take all aspects of information into account, she said.

常用手機(jī)導(dǎo)致記憶減退

ChinaDaily 2018.07.25

Frequent use of mobile phones can lead to deterioration of memory performance of specific brain regions due to exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) during mobile phone use, researchers said. In a new study carried out by scientists at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, researchers found that the so-called figural memory performance, or the ability to remember abstract forms, can deteriorate if the brain is often exposed to RF-EMF. Evidence is clear that radiatio has had a significant impact on the right half of the brain, where the figural memory is located, among adolescents who hold the phone to their right ear when making a call. Sending text messages or surfing the internet has had no noticeable impact, according to the study.

Wildfires sweeping through a Greek resort town have killed at least 74 people. The inferno was Greece's deadliest since fires devastated the southern Peloponnese peninsula in August 2007, killing dozens.

馬斯克欲開(kāi)挖高速隧道

ChinaDaily 17小時(shí)前

Under the warm asphalt of West Los Angeles, beneath bumper-to-bumper traffic and swaying palm trees, Elon Musk is searching for answers. There, machine named Godot may soon grind away at a 4.3-km tunnel to run below Interstate 405. The tunnel currently awaits a permit, and Angelenos may be waiting a while before it's complete. But Musk, who spends his days juggling CEO roles at electric-auto maker Tesla and aerospace outfit SpaceX, has something to prove. Practically speaking, the Bel Air resident wants easier transit between his homes and the SpaceX campus in Hawthorne, 27 k to the south. From a theoretical standpoint, Musk hopes to demonstrate that subterranean, supersonic public transit isn't just a futuristic fantasy but realistic solution for what ails many of America's busiest and most cash-strapped metropolises.
