But despite her growing popularity and the momentum she has built over the past two years with hits like 'Punching Bag' and '23,' Wallice is determined not to let this numbers-driven biz define her or affect the way she sets her career goals. 'It's detrimental to me because it can be so easy to compare myself with my peers, whether it's followers on Instagram, or monthly streams and listeners.

CEBU CITY, Philippines — As the Catholic community celebrates Jesus Christ's resurrection on Easter Sunday, April 9, 2023, Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma, in his homily during the Easter Sunday Mass at the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral, encouraged the faithful to choose faith over fear and uncertainties. The prelate acknowledged the many situations and challenges in the past years that may have cast fear and doubts in the hearts of the faithful, but he has emphasized that if there is one important lesson in the story of Christ's resurrection, it is having faith and believing despite troubles and fears.

I enjoyed reading two recent articles by Caixin Publisher Hu Shuli: Reflections on Visiting a South African Slum With Mandela's Former Security Chief and A Night Visit to Mandela's Hometown, which recounted her experiences in South Africa in 2018. These inspiring pieces stirred a multitude of my own reminiscences and reflections. In November 2009, as a World Bank staff, I was transferred from the bank's Beijing Office to the Pretoria Office in South Africa, where I lived and worked for nearly six years before returning to the bank's headquarters in Washington D.

For roughly 80% of breast cancer survivors, treatment doesn't end with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Instead, for the next five to 10 years, doctors recommend that they take medication to block sex hormones, which can fuel tumor growth and spark recurrence. The drugs, no doubt, are life-saving: They've been shown to cut risk of cancer recurrence by as much as half in patients with hormone receptor-positive tumors (HR+) - the most common form of breast cancer. Yet despite their promised benefits, 40% of patients stop taking them early and a third take them less frequently than directed.

San Francisco, United States — Shunning his smartphone for a 'dumb' one changed the way Jose Briones engages with the world — and he likes it that way. The 27-year-old Colorado resident turns to CDs when he wants music, instead of streaming it. When he has to get someplace, he prints out directions before setting out or, if needed, falls back on the sometimes-forgotten practice of asking a stranger which way to go. Briones is far from alone in reconnecting with the analog world by relying less on finding life's solutions via the internet on his phone.
