2023's Most Livable Cities in the World
2023's Most Livable , Cities in the World.
The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), a sister
organization of 'The Economist,' has just released
its list of the world's most livable cities in 2023.
CNN reports that the list ranks 173 cities
on a number of factors, including health care,
education, stability and infrastructure.
.
The list shows that big cities in Australia are
making a comeback, rising in the rankings
to take the third and fourth top spots.
Major cities in Canada also scored well,
securing three spots on the top 10 list.

Every year dozens of British people travel to clinics there to end their lives, in a way they see fit. But now ITV News has seen evidence which appears to show one such clinic flouting Swiss guidelines - and the devastating consequences that can have. Alastair Hamilton was just 47 when he told his family he was going to Paris on holiday. He was actually flying to Switzerland. ITV News helped Alastair's mother and brother retrace his final days... and they wanted to share their devastation. Report by Covellm.

Fast Food Chains Warn Consumers , That Worker Pay Increases
Will Impact Prices.
'Newsweek' reports that franchises have
warned an increase of the minimum wage
for fast food workers in California could also
force menu prices to climb.
As of April 1, fast food restaurants in California
will have to pay employees at least $20 an hour, an
increase of four dollars from the current $16 an hour. .
Business owners have warned that the new law,
signed in by Democratic governor Gavin Newsom,
will have an impact on margins and consumer costs. .
At the end of October, McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski
said that the impact of the minimum wage rise would
be partially "worked through with higher pricing.".

According to McDonald's numbers, the price of
the signature Big Mac burger is currently $5.89
in California, the 10th highest in the United States.
The latest data compiled by 'The Economist' shows that
the average price of a Big Mac nationwide is currently
$5.69, which is up from $5.36 at the same time in 2023. .
Last year, McDonald's , reported net profits of , almost $8.5 billion.
According to the company's latest financial reports,
sales increased 8.7% in the U.S. in 2023, which the
company attributed to "strategic menu price increases.".

'Rule of Four' , Molecular Structure , Stumps Scientists.
'Newsweek' reports that scientists are baffled by a bizarre
"Rule of Four" that has been identified in the basic
molecular structure of most inorganic materials.
The pattern can be observed in the "unit cell"
of the materials, which is the smallest possible
repeating section of each molecular structure.
Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in
Lausanne (EPFL) were surprised to find most of over 80,000
known and predicted materials displayed the pattern. .
60% of those materials had
a unit cell with a total number of
atoms being a multiple of four.
The team ruled out the possiblity of
a computing bug, chemistry and the energy
requirements of atoms to form bonds. .
The materials that are most abundant
in nature should be the most energetically
favored, which means the most stable ones,
those with negative formation energy. , lena Gazzarrini, Former EPFL researcher
currently at CERN in Geneva, via 'Newsweek'.
But what we saw with classic
computational methods was
that there was no correlation
between the Rule of Four and
negative formation energies, lena Gazzarrini, Former EPFL researcher
currently at CERN in Geneva, via 'Newsweek'.

Despite being unable to determine why the pattern was

predict the pattern in materials with an 87% success rate.

According to Elena Gazzarrini, a former EPFL researcher currently at CERN in Geneva, this , "suggests that there may be small chemical groups in the
cells (still to be found) that may explain the Rule of Four.".
The team's findings were published in
the journal 'NPJ Computational Materials.'
