Sunglasses are often seen as protectors for our eyes from the sun. But, not according to content creator Dennis Echelbarger. “Sunglasses don’t protect your eyes, they actually do the opposite,” he cautions his followers. In the post, he continues to explain the reason behind this bold claim. “Human biology dictates that your eyes contain a high concentration of mitochondria,” he says. “They block essential sunlight, crucial for the mitochondria in our eyes. This disruption can lead to serious conditions like macular degeneration, myopia, and glaucoma,” he captions the post. Dr Navya C , senior consultant, Opthalmology at Athreya Super Speciality Hospital, Bengaluru says, “Sunglasses primarily protect the eyes from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, which can contribute to conditions like cataracts, macular degeneration, and pterygium.” The concern that sunglasses might hinder natural eye regeneration by blocking essential sunlight, she asserts, needs to be balanced with the proven benefits of UV protection. “Scientific research, including studies published in the Journal of Ophthalmology, supports the use of UV-blocking sunglasses to prevent damage to the eye’s surface and internal structures,” she states Prolonged exposure to artificial light sources, particularly blue light from digital devices, can contribute to digital eye strain and may increase the risk of macular damage over time. Protecting eyes from excessive artificial light exposure is crucial, according to Dr Navya, as indicated by research in the American Journal of Ophthalmology. Using glasses with blue light filters and taking regular breaks from screens can help mitigate these risks. https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/life-style/sunglasses-sunlight-summer-india-eyes-9303210/

A Sumatran orangutan in Indonesia has self-medicated using a paste made from plants to heal a large wound on his cheek, say scientists. It is the first time a creature in the wild has been recorded treating an injury with a medicinal plant. After researchers saw Rakus applying the plant poultice to his face, the wound closed up and healed in a month. Scientists say the behaviour could come from a common ancestor shared by humans and great apes. "They are our closest relatives and this again points towards the similarities we share with them. We are more similar than we are different," said biologist Dr Isabella Laumer at the Max Planck institute in Germany and co-author of the research. A research team in the Gunung Leuser National Park, Indonesia spotted Rakus with a large wound on his cheek in June 2022. They believe he was injured fighting with rival male orangutans because he made loud cries called "long calls" in the days before they saw the wound. The team then saw Rakus chewing the stem and leaves of plant called Akar Kuning - an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial plant that is also used locally to treat malaria and diabetes. He repeatedly applied the liquid onto his cheek for seven minutes. Rakus then smeared the chewed leaves onto his wound until it was fully covered. He continued to feed on the plant for over 30 minutes. The paste and leaves then appear to have done their magic - the researchers saw no sign of infection and the wound closed within five days. After a month, Rakus was fully healed. The scientists concluded that Rakus knew he was applying medicine because orangutans very rarely eat this particular plant and because of the length of the treatment. "He repeatedly applied the paste, and he later also applied more solid plant matter. The entire process lasted really a considerable amount of time - that's why we think that he intentionally applied it," explains Dr Laumer. The researchers also saw Rakus resting for much longer than usual - more than half of the day - suggesting he was trying to recuperate after the injury. Scientists were already aware that great apes used medicine to try to heal themselves. In the 1960s biologist Jane Goodall saw whole leaves in the faeces of chimpanzees, and others documented seeing great apes swallowing leaves with medicinal properties. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-68942123 But they had never seen a wild animal applying a plant to a wound.

Nuno Espirito Santo says he and Nottingham Forest feel vindicated after their furious complaints following the controversial defeat at Everton. Forest had three penalty claims rejected in the 2-0 defeat, although the Key Match Incidents panel and referees’ chief Howard Webb have confirmed one of the decisions was wrong. The club posted an angry statement on X - seen over 45m times - minutes after the final whistle last month claiming they told referees body the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) that the game's video assistant referee (VAR) Stuart Attwell was allegedly a fan of relegation rivals Luton. Nuno also said the officials had "bad" games and confirmed he has responded to the Football Association’s request for observations after his post-match comments. The FA asked for observations from defender Neco Williams and the club’s referee analyst Mark Clattenburg as well, but with Webb admitting one of the decisions - Ashley Young’s tackle on Callum Hudson-Odoi - should have been a penalty, Nuno believes their protests were justified. “It’s nice when you have someone, an expert, saying they [the referees) got it wrong and what you said and saw was right," said Nuno, speaking before Saturday’s trip to Sheffield United with Forest a point above the relegation zone. "It makes you feel more comfortable but it doesn’t give you back what happened.” Nuno insisted he "still believes" all three decisions should have resulted in spot-kicks. He added: "The PGMOL clearly said the third one was a penalty but unfortunately they [the officials on the day] got it wrong. It’s happened before when the panel has decided and said it was the other way round. We cannot be bothered by that. “I always try to be respectful, I try to understand how hard the work of the referee is but this year it’s difficult. There are too many situations happening. I felt it was impossible to control the emotions and that’s why I’ve become so vocal.” Nuno is now hoping to avoid a ban after submitting his response to the FA. He said: “I read it, I agreed and I signed it. We are still waiting. Hopefully I don’t get punished and I can be on the touchline.” Forest are expected to be charged by the FA and the Premier League for their outburst after the loss. This week it was revealed the Key Match Incident Panel unanimously agreed Forest should have been given a penalty when Young brought down Hudson-Odoi in the 55th minute of their match at Goodison Park on 21 April. The club called for the audio between video assistant referee Attwell and on-field official Anthony Taylor to be released publicly, with the PGMOL giving them the chance to listen to it privately. Speaking on the Sky Sports' Mic'd Up programme on Tuesday, Webb said he would have welcomed a VAR intervention over the Young tackle. Nuno has also called on Forest’s situation in the league to be resolved as they continue to wait for their appeal verdict. They are yet to hear if their appeal against a four-point penalty for breaching profit and sustainability rules has been successful. It was held last Wednesday in front of an independent commission, meaning the Premier League does not have control of the timescale. Unlike the independent commission which heard Forest’s initial case, there is no seven-day timeframe for it to be resolved, but it will be finalised before the end of the season. “It’s a mess. They had time enough. It’s a mess,” said Nuno, who has previously described the situation in similar terms. “It’s very difficult not only for us but for the league. It’s very hard to be in this situation. “We’ve been dealing with this situation for a while, we have been expecting it to come sooner so we know exactly how many points we have. Do we have 30, 29, 28, 27? We need it as fast as possible.” https://www.bbc.com/sport/articles/cnl4ypn8xrno

The US has accused Russia of deploying chemical weapons as a "method of warfare" in Ukraine, in violation of international laws banning their use. State department officials said Russia used the choking agent chloropicrin to win "battlefield gains" over Ukraine. The allegations, which US officials said were not an "isolated" incident, would contravene the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), which Russia signed. The Kremlin rejected the accusations, calling them "baseless". Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in Moscow that Russia stood by its obligations under the CWC, which prohibits states from developing or acquiring new weapons. Some 193 states have ratified the convention. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), a global watchdog that oversees implementation of the CWC, says a chemical weapon is a substance used to cause intentional death or harm through its toxic properties. Chloropicrin - which the US says Russia has used to "dislodge Ukrainian forces from fortified positions" - is an oily substance which was widely used during World War One. It causes irritation of the lungs, eyes and skin and can cause vomiting, nausea and diarrhoea, according to the US Centre for Disease Control (CDC). The chemical's use in war is expressly banned under the CWC, and is listed as a choking agent by the OPCW. The state department also said Moscow had regularly used "riot control agents," or tear gas, during the war. President Joe Biden has previously warned Russia against deploying chemical weapons in Ukraine. In March 2022, weeks after Moscow launched its invasion, Mr Biden vowed that President Vladimir Putin would pay a "severe price" if he did authorise the use of chemical weapons. "We would respond if he uses it. The nature of the response would depend on the nature of the use," Mr Biden said. But there have been consistent reports that Moscow has ignored that warning. US Assistant Secretary for Arms Control Mallory Stewart has previously said Russia was using riot control agents in the conflict. And Ukraine says its troops have faced mounting chemical attacks in recent months. The Reuters news agency reported earlier this year that Russian forces had used grenades loaded with CS and CN tear gases. The report added that at least 500 Ukrainian soldiers have been treated for exposure to toxic gases, and that one had died after suffocating on tear gas. Three Russian bodies linked to the country's biological and chemical weapons programme were sanctioned by the state department for their links to the production of chemical agents. Other firms that contributed to the government entities were also sanctioned. In 2017, the OPCW said Russia had destroyed the last of its Cold War-era stockpile of the weapons, as required under the CWC. But Moscow has since been accused of making incomplete declarations of its stockpile, according to the UK's House of Commons library. Since 2017, Russia has been accused of at least two chemical attacks - the Salisbury attack on a former Soviet intelligence officer and the 2020 poisoning of the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. The allegations come as part of a broader tranche of US sanctions which targeted 30 individuals, including three people officials say were involved in Navalny's death https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68941220

Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll know that Baldur's Gate 3 did well—winning just about every major Game of the Year award, starting industry-wide conversations about the quality of videogames, and getting one of our highest-ever review scores. It's also done remarkably well as a licensing deal for Hasbro, which owns Wizards of the Coast, which created Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition—the tabletop rules system Baldur's Gate 3 is built on top of. Unfortunately for said company, Larian's moving onto different, if not greener pastures—but Dan Ayoub, head of digital product development at Wizards of the Coast, says there's no plans on stopping the company's forward march: "Hasbro is in fact making videogames … we have a considerable investment in our studio structure; we've got over $1 billion in games right now being developed."That's as per a recent interview with GamesIndustry.biz. Ayoub continues, arguing that Hasbro's MO has "always been about play, it's always been about entertaining people. And gaming is the predominant form of entertainment for a lot of people, and it's something that just continues to grow." This does feel like a bit of a strange revelation to have now—TTRPGs and RPG games have always shared a lot of DNA, especially considering one essentially came from the other. Baldur's Gate 3 was hardly the first entry in the franchise, after all, and there are plenty of classics like Neverwinter Nights and Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines that have their roots firmly in dice, pen and paper. Heck, Cyberpunk 2077 is spawned from a TTRPG product. "One of the great things we took from the success of Baldur's Gate 3 is that people really, really like a great, well-executed D&D game," muses Ayoub in the same way you might marvel out-loud that water is wet. Alright, I'm being a little uncharitable there. BG3 is absolutely landmark in its quality, and certainly a far cry from CRPGs of yore which mostly took place in text boxes and crunchy stat sheets—nothing wrong with that, but even the most hardcore of CRPG fans'd likely concede that kind of thing hardly screams 'mass appeal'. https://www.pcgamer.com/games/baldurs-gate/buckle-uphasbro-has-spent-over-dollar1-billion-on-games-and-has-plans-for-the-next-100-years-since-baldurs-gate-3-proved-fans-like-a-great-well-executed-dandd-game/
