It’s Not You, It’s Me
I often think to myself, if a guy on this campus isn’t in a relationship, there has to be something wrong with him. On a side note, I also think particular men at schools like Cornell are reluctant to date because they think they’re too smart for it. I assume there’s something wrong with most single men, but what about me, a single woman? If Cornell men think they’re too smart to date, maybe Cornell women (or just me…) believe they are too smart as well, but in a different way. On the other hand, I can be a little more lenient (emphasis on a little) toward the single men on this campus.

Women's employment drops by 25% in Afghanistan since mid-2021: ILO
Female employment in Afghanistan has dropped by a quarter after the Taliban took over the country, according to estimates from the International Labour Organisation (ILO), which said the fall was exacerbated by restrictions on women working and studying. The ILO said the 25% drop in female employment took place by the final quarter of 2022 from the second quarter of 2021, compared with a 7% drop for men. The Taliban took over the country in August 2021 as foreign forces withdrew. "Restrictions on girls and women have severe implications for their education and labour market prospects," said Ramin Behzad, the Senior Coordinator for Afghanistan at the ILO, in a statement accompanying its assessment for 2022 of Afghanistan.

Northern Arizona University receives $6.4 million grant for nursing scholarships
Northern Arizona University (NAU) recently received a $6.4 million grant as part of an Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) initiative meant to address Arizona’s nursing shortage. Each university will be using the grant to fund scholarships in accelerated nursing programs, with the requirement that recipients practice nursing in Arizona for at least four years after receiving their degree. The majority of NAU’s grant funding -- $5.2 million -- will go towards scholarships for students in its accelerated nursing programs. These scholarships come alongside an expansion of NAU’s nursing programs, including the accelerated program’s expansion to North Valley. Johnson said this will also help with the shortage, as nursing programs often receive more applications than they have openings.

Pandemic fund vastly oversubscribed, more money needed: World Bank
More than 100 low- and middle-income countries have put in early bids for at least $5.5 billion from a fund that initially has only $300 million to spend to help them better prepare for pandemics. The demand is a sign that pandemic prevention, preparedness and response needs more money and attention, the head of the fund's secretariat at the World Bank, Priya Basu, said. The fund is one of a host of global initiatives being set up to help prevent a COVID-19 rerun, alongside a binding agreement being drafted by World Health Organization (WHO) member states and plans to speed up vaccine manufacturing.

Bangladesh’s trade deficit narrows 29% in first seven months of FY23

Wrestling Takes Home Second Straight Conference Title
Six wrestlers took home individual EIWA titles last weekend, en route to a second straight team championship for No. Facing off against Bucknell’s Dylan Chappell, Diakomihalis cruised to a 15-3 major victory and his fourth conference title. Arujau, who won last year’s EIWA title at 125 pounds, continued his strong season at 133 with two technical fall wins followed by two major decisions. Ramirez was able to defend for the rest of the third, handing Monday his second loss of the year and taking home the title. Despite the gravity of this win, Ramirez echoed a sentiment shared by many of his teammates: the upcoming national championships are the major goal.
