Matisek* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC22OE9QBX4L&share=true] Soldiers need to be fit, but they also tend to sit more than before due to computers and new machines. *Key point:* Here is how the military is trying to revise its standards to fit modern-day requirements. Can the Pentagon get the balance right? When Gen. Dwight D.

Bridle, Leonardo Susta, Samira Mubareka, Sarah Wootton, Shayan Sharif* *Public Health, Europe* [image: Reuters] Data from from the Netherlands earlier in the pandemic have revealed that mink can be readily infected with SARS-CoV-2 and then pass the virus to humans.

Unfortunately, mink tend to be relatively susceptible to respiratory infections, and these can readily spread through mink fa...

Rachel Greszler, Ilana Blumsack, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Rachel Greszler, Ilana Blumsack* *Society, Americas* Now is the time for Congress and the next administration to tackle Social Security’s shortfalls and shortcomings by transitioning it to a smaller, better-targeted program. America’s most popular federal government program—Social Security—will be insolvent within 15 years, leaving older workers and retirees fearful of future benefit cuts. It will also leave younger workers reticent to contribute even larger chunks of their paychecks toward a program that 80% of millennials and Gen Xers doubt will be there for them when they re...

Which To Celebrate, Pilgrims Or Native Americans?
Francis Menton, Manhattan Contrarian - 1 day ago
* This year marks the 400th anniversary of the founding of the Plymouth Colony by the Pilgrims in 1620. Plymouth was the first English settlement to establish itself successfully in the New World. * You might think that the four-century mark of that event would be cause for big commemorations. Instead, there has been barely a peep. * Today, the trendy thing is to feel nothing but guilt and shame for the expansion of European civilization, particularly the English version, into North America. . . .

The Mainstream Media Does Not Have Our Trust
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 1 day ago
A strong structure cannot be created with substandard bricks; a free media cannot be created when journalists have an ideological bias or are in bed with tyrants and oligarchs. Humberto Fontova’s book *The Longest Romance: The Mainstream Media and Fidel Castro* is revealing of the corruption and biases in the topmost media houses. Fontova quotes Castro as saying, “Without the help of The New York Times, the revolution in Cuba would never have been,” during an April 1959 meeting with Herbert Matthews, the New York Times journalist, who was a confidant and supporter of the Castro regi...
