Memnon, a global content preservation and migration services provider, celebrates its 20th anniversary while bidding farewell to its founder, Michel Merten.

Merten is stepping down as Director of Business Development to work on passion projects in Africa but will continue to influence the industry. Memnon's CEO, Heidi Shakespeare, praises Merten's contributions and looks forward to continuing the company's mission of making archives immortal, with a focus on large-scale audio-visual archiving and developing expertise in the workforce.

The Spread of College-Town Cool

14 Dec 2023  |  www.governing.com  |  English  |  Cultural Change

College towns like Bloomington and Moscow, once unique for their amenities and culture, are now less distinctive as the rest of America has caught up with diverse offerings such as good coffee, ethnic restaurants, and arts. Urban analyst Aaron Renn reflects on how these towns, influenced by baby boomers with counterculture ideals, now face challenges due to anti-development sentiments leading to high living costs. Despite this, the presence of colleges and the growing number of affluent households continue to support these towns. However, college towns are no longer the exclusive havens of 'cool' they once were, but rather part of a broader landscape of desirable living spaces in the country.

Comparing Types of Parenting: Authoritative, Permissive, More

27 Sept 2019  |  www.healthline.com  |  English  |  Child Development

The article explores various parenting styles, including authoritative, authoritarian, attachment, permissive, free-range, helicopter, and uninvolved/neglectful. It discusses the pros and cons of each style, supported by research findings. Authoritative parenting is highlighted as the most effective, promoting mental health and well-being in children. Authoritarian parenting, while providing structure, may lead to negative outcomes like delinquency and depression. Attachment parenting fosters independence and emotional control but can be demanding for parents. Permissive parenting allows freedom but may result in higher stress and health issues. Free-range parenting encourages independence but carries risks of unsupervised harm. Helicopter parenting can reduce risky behaviors but may hinder self-confidence. Uninvolved parenting is linked to poor emotional and social outcomes. The article emphasizes that no single style is perfect and encourages a balanced approach tailored to individual children.

Good or bad? When it comes to food, it’s not that simple

28 Feb 2020  |  www.downtoearth.org.in  |  English  |  Dietary Guidelines

For decades, fat and cholesterol were considered harmful to health, leading to dietary guidelines that discouraged their consumption. However, recent research by US scientists has found no significant relationship between dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol. This shift in understanding highlights the limitations of epidemiology, which can only show correlations, not causations. The new guidelines, based on randomized controlled trials, suggest that replacing fat with carbohydrates does not necessarily prevent heart disease. Despite these findings, the article advises a balanced approach to diet, emphasizing moderation.

Whistleblower Protection Laws: A Global Perspective

29 Jun 2023  |  www.zodiakmalawi.com  |  English  |  Anti-Corruption

Whistleblowers are increasingly hesitant to share information due to fear of retaliation. Many countries have ratified whistleblower protection laws, but these are often not practical. Malawi lacks standalone legislation for whistleblower protection, with the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) leading efforts to establish such laws. The European Union's directive for companies to implement whistleblower protection by 2021 has seen limited compliance. In the USA, whistleblower protection varies by state, with calls for stronger national laws. Experts argue that effective whistleblower laws are essential for fighting corruption and strengthening democracy.

Supreme Court case could upend the Tax Code

The article discusses the Supreme Court case Moore v. U.S., which challenges the constitutionality of the deemed repatriation tax under Section 965 of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The plaintiffs, who are shareholders with a controlling interest in a foreign company, argue that the tax on their unrealized income is unconstitutional. Academics are divided on the issue, with some supporting the government's power to tax unrealized income. The case has significant implications for the U.S. tax system, potentially affecting the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reforms, S corporations, partnerships, and the concept of 'realization' in tax law. Amy Miller from Carta and Ryan Losi from Piascik provide insights into the potential consequences of the case's outcome.

Why you must take plenty water when drinking alcohol

18 Feb 2023  |  The Star  |  English  |  Alcohol Consumption

Water is essential when consuming alcohol to mitigate its adverse effects on the body, including dehydration and hangovers. Alcohol acts as a diuretic, increasing urine production and leading to water loss. Drinking water helps maintain electrolyte balance and reduces hangover symptoms. Research from Brown University and Indiana University highlights the physiological impacts of alcohol, emphasizing the importance of hydration. The World Health Organization reports that alcohol is a causal factor in over 200 diseases and injuries, contributing to three million deaths annually.
