* Surveys suggest that popular support for globalization has fallen in various countries including USA & UK. The positive era of more world trade than GDP growth ended around the global financial crisis (GFC) in 2008. Since then, trade growth has lagged world income growth. Populism, nationalism, financial re-regulation and national security concerns have usurped economics as priorities of international relations. Political opposition to liberalize have been responsible for the slowing pace of globalization. - Stephen Dover

* In adults, the most common presentation of uveitis is an acutely painful red eye, while in children it is chronic, bilateral persistent uveitis and can be completely asymptomatic; therefore, the diagnosis of uveitis is often delayed in children because it goes unrecognised or misdiagnosed. Another major difference between children and adults is that the prognosis of uveitis is usually worse in children, with up to 35% of children experiencing complications such as posterior synechiae, cataract, band keratopathy, glaucoma and visual impairment.
* Botox is a drug made from a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The bacterium Clostridium botulinum, an anaerobic, gram-positive, spore-forming rod commonly found on plants, in soil, water and the intestinal tracts of animals. It's the same toxin that causes a life-threatening type of food poisoning called botulism. Doctors use it in small doses to treat health problems, including: temporary smoothing of facial wrinkles and improving your appearance.
* In the 1990s, a plane crash that killed 189 people near the Dominican Republic is believed to have been caused in part by a wasp that built a nest in a Pitot tube—a crucial instrument on the fuselage that tells pilots how fast they are flying. Wasps like the Pitot tube because they are small enough to be enclosed by mud, but big enough for wasp larvae. Before laying eggs and sealing up the nest, an adult wasp will find a caterpillar, paralyze it, and deposit it live in the nest, providing the larvae with instant food. When the larvae mature into adults, they open up and emerge from the nest. Airports usually focus on keeping away birds, which can collide with aircraft engines in flight and have caused high-profile accidents, such as the 2009 disabling of an Airbus A320 plane that had to land in the Hudson River off Manhattan. But if left unchecked, wasps and other insects could be an increasing challenge, as efforts to reduce pollution and develop quieter and cleaner aircraft make airports more attractive to wildlife.

* Israel’s inability to perceive enemies’ plans before 1973 Yom Kippur War led to creation of the Tenth Man, a ‘devil's advocate’ role, a way to ensure contrary assessments at least get a hearing. The Tenth Man’s job is to challenge conventional and received wisdom. The aim is to look at things creatively, independently, and from a fresh perspective, to engage actively with and to reconsider the status quo. Tenth Man “analysts search for information and arguments that contradict theses constructed by the intelligence community’s various production and analysis departments.” The Tenth Man also looks at subjects that have not, but perhaps should, receive attention, and it provides a sounding board for lower-level analysts who wish to raise issues that might not otherwise be considered at senior levels in the chain of command. The task of the Tenth Man is to explore alternative assumptions and worst-case scenarios, and they can do so without fear of damage to their careers. In the intelligence world, the detractors criticize it as pseudo-intelligence, beginning with a preordained conclusion that the contrary of something is correct, instead of following the evidence no matter where it goes. - The Star
* Ikigai joins a long list of Japanese words that have been repurposed to lend an aura of ancient wisdom—and exoticism—to banal ideas. Kakeibo has been peddled as the "Japanese art of saving money" (in practice, keeping a notebook to track finances). Shinrin-yoku, or the Japanese art of "forest bathing" is really just going for a nice stroll in nature. Wabi-sabi describes an interior design trend that embraces minimalist decor and natural materials. In Japan, it refers to an aesthetic philosophy of appreciating imperfection. (Hygge, a Danish word meaning something like "cosiness", has suffered a similar fate.) - The Economist
* Venn diagram created by American entrepreneur Marc Winn to illustrate the concept of ikigai (with the four categories of “what you love,” “what the world needs,” “what you can be paid for,” and “what you are good at”). Though it may be difficult to fulfill all four categories, by keeping them in mind, you can make your ikigai even more fulfilling.
* The 5 pillars of ikigai are: starting small, releasing yourself, harmony and sustainability, the joy of little things and being in the here and now.
* According to the Japanese, everyone has an ikigai—a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village in Okinawa with the world’s longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life.
* Okinawans have less desire to retire, as people continue to do their favourite job as long as they remain healthy.
* If hygge (pronounced hue-guh, the Norwegian word means “well being”) is the art of doing nothing, ikigai is the art of doing something - and doing it with supreme focus and joy. ― New York Post
