Short and sweet it is a picture book biography. According to the summary, it is a first in a series that will "explore the lives of figures who have been overlooked or overshadowed in their fields."
It goes without saying that what Hamas did was morally abhorrent, but every time you see a tower block in Gaza being destroyed by an Israeli missile on the news you are watching children being killed, injured, or made orphans. 😡

> MIT researchers found evidence that topology can stabilize magnetic ordering, even well above the point at which magnetism normally breaks down. Their work reveals how topological structures known as Weyl nodes found in an exotic semi-metal can significantly increase the working temperature for magnetic devices.

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Individuals facing physical and mental multimorbidity and social marginalization are considered to have “complex health and social needs.” This study seeks to address the following question: what mental health care experiences are valued by individuals with complex health and social needs? Semi-structured interviews were conducted with fifteen individuals experiencing complex health and social needs, including homelessness. Interview data was analyzed using an interpretive description approach. Participants valued services and providers who cared <em class="a-plus-plus">with them and for them. Care for</em> service users with complex needs required flexible processes and individualized care planning and treatment. <em class="a-plus-plus">Care with</em> service users demanded genuine, collaborative interpersonal interactions. These elements were evident across steps in an episode of care, from intake through assessment and treatment to transitions and discharge. These findings highlight particular challenges in operationalizing evidence-based care in mental health care for people with complex health and social needs.</p>

Looking to dip my toes into Linux for the first time. I have a 2016 Intel MacBook Pro with pretty solid specs collecting dust right now that I think I’m going to use. Research so far has indicated to me that the two best options for me are likely Mint or Elementary OS. Does anyone have any insight? Also open to other OS’s. I would consider myself decently tech savvy but I am not a programmer or anything. Comfortable dipping into the terminal when the need arises and all that.
