� � � � � � Need Therapy? In West Africa, Hairdressers Can Help. - The New York Times    An initiative to train hairdressers in mental health counseling is providing relief to hundreds of clients in a region with the world’s least access to therapy. Joseline de Lima was wandering the dusty alleys of her working-class neighborhood in the capital of Togo one day last year, when a disturbing thought crossed her mind: Who would take care of her two boys if her depression worsened and she were no longer around to look after them? Ms. de Lima, a single mother who was grieving the recent death of her brother and had lost her job at a bakery, knew she needed help. But therapy was out of the question. “Too formal and expensive,” she recalled thinking. Continued here � � � � � � Don't like ads? Go ad-free with TradeBriefs Premium Panera founder says the idea of 'swashbuckling' entrepreneurs finding success from taking big risks is 'a myth' - Business Insider    Although a German study once found that millionaires are more likely to take risks, founder and former Panera CEO Ron Shaich disagrees that leaning into risk is a winning strategy — he argues that successful entrepreneurs and creators are actually risk-averse. "The swashbuckling entrepreneur of popular imagination is just a myth and rarely succeeds," Shaich writes in his new book, "Know What Matters: Lessons from a Lifetime of Transformations." Shaich co-founded Au Bon Pain in 1981, of which Panera Bread was later just a division.

When I wrote my series on why Americans are moving away from organized religion, I didn’t focus specifically on those under 30, even though I knew they were the least religiously affiliated. I wanted to tell the full story that included different age groups because in recent decades, all age groups have seen a decline in religious participation. The sociological term for the unaffiliated is “nones,” a catchall for atheists, agnostics and those who say they have no religion in particular. I also thought that for the youngest adults, the move away from traditional worship was just an extension of the overall trend: a combination of fewer of them being raised by religious parents, a greater social acceptance of not identifying as a person of faith and a cultural association between conservative political beliefs and Christianity that started years before the first Zoomer was born.

Meta has received more than 1.1 million reports of users under the age of 13 on its Instagram platform since early 2019 yet it “disabled only a fraction” of those accounts, according to a newly unsealed legal complaint against the company brought by the attorneys general of 33 states. Instead, the social media giant “routinely continued to collect” children’s personal information, like their locations and email addresses, without parental permission, in violation of a federal children’s privacy law, according to the court filing. Meta could face hundreds of millions of dollars, or more, in civil penalties should the states prove the allegations. Continued here
