This undated photo provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Portland Field Office shows the interior of a makeshift cinderblock cell in Klamath Falls, Ore., allegedly used by Negasi Zuberi. The FBI said Wednesday, Aug. 2, 2023, that Zuberi, 29, who posed as an undercover police officer kidnapped a woman in Seattle, drove her hundreds of miles to his home in Oregon, and kept her in the cell from which she eventually escaped and found help. Zuberi who was arrested faces a federal interstate kidnapping charge, and authorities said they are looking for additional victims after linking him to sexual assaults in at least four more states.

China's yuan inched lower against the dollar on Friday (April 21) and looked set for a marginal weekly loss, though the biggest in six weeks, as investors continued to await clues on US monetary tightening as the next trading catalyst. The weakness in the local currency was tracking the firmer greenback in global markets, as bets for another rate hike by the US Federal Reserve in May firmed, though its gains were capped by soft economic data pointing to a slowing economy. "The dollar's movements and the Fed's policy outlook should continue to guide the yuan," said a trader at a foreign bank.

What if treating obesity could be as easy as popping an effective pill? That's a notion that has long fueled hope for many of the more than 40percent of Americans who are considered obese — and fueled criticism by those who advocate for wider weight acceptance. Soon, it may be a reality. High-dose oral versions of the medication in the weight-loss drug Wegovy may work as well as the popular injections when it comes to paring pounds and improving health, according to final results of two studies released Sunday night.

PART of humanity's rapid development as a species can be attributed to our unique hands. Our fingers, in particular, possess a remarkable level of dexterity and sensitivity that is unmatched by that of any other animal on the planet. The fine motor skills of human fingers allow us to perform intricate tasks with high precision – such as typing on a keyboard, for example. Without fingers, humans would not be able to operate tools with our current level of finesse. Given how much we use our fingers for, it would be logical to assume that they have one of the most complex muscle systems of the body.
