Song and dance that shut out pangs of hunger in Kenyan refugee camp as Trump’s aid freeze takes heavy toll on youth in exile
The happiness of these children isn’t guaranteed now as funding cuts have affected operations here. Fewer resources and staff are available to engage the children and ensure their safety.

Alternative medicine: Why after FDA finding that snake venom in approved drugs treats stroke convinces biohackers humans can live forever
For the biohackers, decentralisation is a feature, not a bug. It’s a safeguard against corruption. “The biohacking community,” Fabrizio “Fab” Mancini, a chiropractor and frequent flier of the daytime TV medical circuit, tells me, “is not owned by any one entity. It’s actual individuals.” In a community for whom deregulation is entirely the point, though, how do you screen for bullshit?

Why Apple Inc founder Steve Jobs nearly declined to give a commencement speech, which turned out to be the best ever
Jobs woke up on the morning of the 12th riddled with anxiety. “I’d almost never seen him more nervous,” Laurene Jobs would tell Schlender and Tetzeli. Even on the short drive from his home to the stadium – their three kids in the back – he rode shotgun in the family SUV, still tweaking the speech. When they tried to get to the VIP parking lot, they couldn’t find the pass that would gain them entry. They had trouble convincing the guard that the frazzled guy in a black T-shirt and ripped jeans was actually the commencement speaker, but they finally got through.
Newly released materials show how Apple Inc founder Steve Jobs went from hopelessly flailing to delivering greatest graduation speech ever
Jobs dreaded giving this speech. The Jobs I knew stayed in a strictly policed comfort zone. He thought nothing of walking out of a meeting, even an important one, if something displeased him.
