The mountain in eastern Greenland before the landslide. – Søren Rysgaard
1⃣ Mysterious vibration: A landslide triggered a 650-foot mega-tsunami in Greenland that caused the Earth to shake for nine days last year. Scientists finally know why but say it offers an alarming insight into the future.
2⃣ War on shoplifting: A year ago, America’s stores sounded the alarm on theft. They closed stores in major cities, hired extra security and locked up merchandise. Their efforts to address the problems are working, but there are still questions about how severe the crisis was in the first place.
3⃣ Easter Island theory: The remote region has long been a place of intrigue. Some experts have used it as a cautionary tale of how the exploitation of limited resources can result in catastrophic population decline. Now new evidence debunks the contentious theory and helps shed light on the island’s past.
4⃣ Emotional eating: Food is more than just nourishment — it has ties to culture and emotions, such as celebrating an accomplishment. Experts explain the problem with thinking of food as just fuel and how to have a better relationship with eating.
5⃣ Concussions in football: Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa does not plan to retire after sustaining the latest of several career concussions last week, sources tell NFL Network. The 26-year-old has a history of concussions. He suffered multiple in the 2022 season and said in 2023 that he had considered stepping away from football “for a time.”
