2016 “Poverty and the conditions that often accompany it—violence, excessive noise, chaos at home, pollution, malnutrition, abuse and parents without jobs—can affect the interactions, formation and pruning of connections in the young brain,” Newsweek said. Despite the significant adversities of poverty, researchers have found a factor that may be a better indicator of a child’s future well-being: resilience. A 2021 report from the Society for Research in Child Development, shows that community-based support is the best way to foster a child’s resilience through difficult times. 1991 “Outside the parliament of the Russian Republic, the people rose, linked arms and dared the State Committee for the State of Emergency to send its tanks,” Newsweek wrote. Under President Putin, protestors face prison time and fines for opposition, motivating more creative forms of…

MILLIONS OF AMERICANS find themselves in need of physical rehabilitation every year as they recover from injury or surgery or deal with pain or loss of motion from chronic conditions. When looking for care, they have a lot of choices. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are over 230,000 physical therapists working in the U.S. and tens of thousands of facilities employing them. Finding the right place can be a challenge. That’s why Newsweek has again partnered with global market research and data firm Statista Inc. to rank the country’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers.

For Your Pleasure ISLAND, 1973 Roxy Music avoided the sophomore jinx with their second album. For Your Pleasure paid homage to rock’s past (the rockers “Do the Strand” and “Editions of You”) while also foreshadowing its future (the haunting “In Every Dream Home a Heartache” and the epic “The Bogus Man”). “The second album is still one of my favorite records that I’ve been involved with,” Ferry says. “It had character, it had a personality, which was very strong.” Adds Manzanera: “It is my favorite album. I guess it was because that was the last one where we were all together as a band [with Brian Eno].” Siren ISLAND, 1975 Siren was Roxy’s bid for mainstream appeal, combining art rock (“Sentimental Fool,” “Just Another High,” “End of the Line”) with…

A company that sets great importance on the Japanese concept of monozukuri (manufacturing craftsmanship), NS Tool was established in 1954 and will shortly celebrate its 70 th anniversary. Though the company’s longevity can be partly attributed to its high-quality production standards, there are other factors at play, a key factor being NS Tool’s forward-thinking approach to the market. “Our strategy,” NS Tool President, Hiroji Goto, confirms, “is to look ahead and prepare for future market needs, so that when they arrive, we are ready to meet them.” The benefits of such an approach can be clearly seen in the context of the miniaturization trend currently taking place in the electronics-based manufacturing industry. A decade ago, NS Tool developed the smallest diameter end mill in the world as a standard product,…

THE LANDSCAPE OF TELEVISION IS SO VAST THESE DAYS, IT’S RARE FOR A network TV comedy series to succeed. But Quinta Brunson’s Abbott Elementary has proven to be a surprise exception, quickly becoming a ratings and critical success. “It’s very rare for first-season comedies [to be a success], especially on network.” After the show’s Emmy-recognized 13-episode first season, its second season (ABC, September 21) comes with a full order of 22 episodes. “I just want people to know when you come to Abbott, you get a range of things. And this season, I feel like we get to play with that range. Now we get to live in it.” Brunson says the inspiration for creating the series came from watching her mom’s experience as a teacher. “I was in her…

THE UKRAINE WAR HAS HIT A SHOCKING milestone: Six months after Vladimir Putin invaded, it’s still on. Virtually nobody—and certainly not Putin himself—thought Ukraine could hold the mighty Russian military at bay, from late February through August, with only a moderate infusion of weapons from the West, some ringing declarations of support from Western leaders and a smattering of “We Stand with Ukraine” signs on U.S. lawns. Ukrainian defenders have indeed been ferociously determined, while Russian troops have had to contend with bad battlefield leaders, inferior weapons and an unworkable supply chain. They’ve also been hobbled by Putin himself. He misread the world situation and personally ordered a disastrous invasion, looking to overthrow the government in Kyiv. He directed a botched effort to take Donbas, depleting the Russian armed forces…
