New Metabolite Helps Regulate Lifespan, Cornell Researchers Find
Cornell researchers recently discovered a novel metabolite — a byproduct of life-sustaining chemical processes called metabolism — that is connected to the lifespan of a species of roundworm. Researchers found that when the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans did not produce acylspermidine, its lifespan decreased. In the mouse cells, the researchers observed a similar effect on lifespan to the one that had been noticed within C. elegans. Newsletter SignupThe results of the knockout indicated that the regular functions of sirtuins are necessary for producing N-acylspermidine and therefore prolonging lifespan, Weiss explained. “Right now, it’s a pretty wide-open question of how [N-acylspermidine] influences lifespan and cancer cell proliferation,” Weiss said.

‘Misuse’ of law against Yunus could deter foreign investment: US
The United States has warned that international concerns over the perceived ‘judicial harassment’ of Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus could negatively impact Bangladesh's prospects for foreign investment. Last month, Yunus was handed a six-month jail sentence for violations of labour laws and is now facing fresh graft charges from the Anti-Corruption Commission. "We worry the perceived misuse of labour and anti-corruption laws could raise questions about the rule of law and dissuade future foreign direct investment, and we encourage the Bangladeshi government to ensure a fair and transparent legal process for Dr Yunus as the appeals process continues," he said. "We share the concerns voiced by other international observers that these cases may represent a misuse of Bangladesh’s labour laws to harass and intimidate Dr Yunus." He called on the government to ensure a "fair and transparent" legal process for Yunus as he appeals against his conviction.

Dr. Sagelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love 101 Sage Hall - The Cornell Daily Sun
It was with little charity that my friends and I coined the term ‘retro-space-neo-gothic’ to describe the Johnson School’s Management Library Reading Room, or 101 Sage Hall. So why does the Management Library Reading Room, which sits shinily alongside Sage Hall without obstructing, let alone bulldozing it, continue to frustrate me? It slowly dawned on me that 101 Sage Hall is not, in fact, some glittering white elephant that has somehow wandered out of the grand circus tent behind it. I look more charitably at the Reading Room and almost sense the art-nouveau tracery of a Parisian metro entrance, the contorted organics of Gaudi and a vague anemoia for the world’s shattered crystal palaces. The Cornell Daily Sun is interested in publishing a broad and diverse set of content from the Cornell and greater Ithaca community.

Locals protest man’s shooting in Bandarban, block traffic to Ruma market
Bandarban’s Ruma has erupted in protest as locals blocked traffic to a local market after a man was shot and injured by unidentified assailants. The shooting took place in the Rijhuk Para area in Ruma Sadar Union around 5:30pm on Tuesday, said local police station chief Md Shahjahan, citing a complaint filed by the victim’s family. Locals blocked the traffic to Ruma Bazar in the morning to protest the attack. The locals declared they would resume the protest at the market on Wednesday if their demand was not met by then. The locals are blaming the KNF members for the incident, as the banned ethno-nationalist group had previously demanded extortion money from them, Ruma Sadar Union Council Chairman Shwe Mong Marma said.
