This Day in History: First Human Heart Transplant (Sunday, December 3rd)
This Day in History: , First Human
Heart Transplant.
December 3, 1967.
Louis Washkansky, 53, received the
first human heart transplant at
Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa.
He received the transplant from
Denise Darvall, a 25-year-old woman
who was fatally injured in a car accident.
Surgeon Christiaan Barnard performed
the revolutionary medical operation.
Tragically, the anti-rejection
drugs given to Washkansky
caused him to contract
double pneumonia.
He died 18 days later.
By the 1970s, many
of Barnard's transplant
patients were living up to
five years with their new hearts

On Nov. 30, U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy
temporarily blocked Montana's TikTok ban that was scheduled to go into effect on Jan. 1, CNN reports. .
According to Molloy, “the current record leaves
little doubt that Montana’s legislature and attorney general were more interested in targeting China’s ostensible role
in TikTok than with protecting Montana consumers.”.
TikTok also reportedly illustrated how
the law violates the First Amendment.
In shutting off TikTok, the Legislature has
both harmed User Plaintiffs’ First Amendment
rights and cut off a stream of income on which
many rely. Thus, Plaintiffs have established
a likelihood of irreparable harm, U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy, via order.
Emilee Cantrell, a deputy communications
director at Montana’s attorney general’s office, referred to the order as a "preliminary decision.".

How to Tell if Someone Is Lying to You by Their Body Language
How to Tell if Someone Is Lying
to You by Their Body Language.
Some people are so good at deception
that you feel it’s impossible to distinguish
between what is false and what is true. .
Thankfully, these seven body language signs
can help you tell if someone is lying to you. .
1. Their eyes are darting back and forth
or they’re looking away from you at key
moments in the conversation.
2. Filler words such as “umm,” “like” and
“uh” can indicate they don’t actually know
what they’re talking about.
3. Taking an unusually long pause after you ask
them something they should know the answer to.
4. Experiencing excessive sweating on the
forehead or excessive dryness of the mouth. .
5. Fidgeting or becoming itchy all of a
sudden without an apparent cause. .
6. Repeating words or phrases that
they’ve already said and stammering.
7. Fake smiling. You can tell the difference
because a person’s eyes will wrinkle when
they’re really smiling
Synchronistic Activity Is Another Superpower Possessed by Ants, Biologists Say
Synchronistic Activity , Is Another Superpower , Possessed by Ants, Biologists Say.
'Newsweek' reports that scientists have
discovered another incredible skill possessed
by ants that allows them to avoid traffic jams.
Biologists at Texas Tech University and other institutions
found that the clever synchronization skills of
Leptothorax ants help them to avoid congestion.
The team's findings were published in
the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society.'.
The biologists determined that it is the ants'
sudden activity, performed simultaneously, that
allows them to avoid any potential traffic jams.
The study found that synchronization plays a role in
the way ants collectively transport prey and their , "consensus-decision making
when choosing a nest.".
'Newsweek' reports that while scientists have long
observed these synchronistic behaviors in ants, several
species' "collective activity rhythm" remains a mystery. .
Overall, the team found that bursts
of activity resulted in better spatial
accessibility inside the nest. .
Inactive ants behave as immobile
obstacles that constrain the potential
locations where active ants can walk. , Texas Tech University study, via 'Newsweek'.
The synchronization of worker
activity thereby makes it possible for
ants to be active in more regions of
the nest as more ants become active. , Texas Tech University study, via 'Newsweek'.
'Newsweek' reports that the latest study expanded
scientists' understanding of the synchronized
biological rhythms that social animals employ.
Astronomers Discover Rare 6-Planet Solar System Moving in Perfect Harmony
Astronomers Discover Rare , 6-Planet Solar System , Moving in Perfect Harmony.
On November 29, astronomers announced they have
observed a rare solar system with six planets moving
in sync, untouched by external forces since its cosmic birth.
NBC reports that the find, located 100 light-years
away in the constellation Coma Berenices,
could help explain how solar systems form. .
The observations were made by NASA's
Tess and the European Space Agency's
Cheops, planet-hunting satellites.
While the planets are moving in perfectly synchronized
orbits, none of them are within their star's habitable
zone, meaning they likely do not host life.
NBC reports that the solar system
around the star, named HD 110067,
may be home to even more planets.
The six observed planets around HD 110067 are
approximately two to three times larger than Earth,
with densities closer to our solar system's gas giants.
The in-sync planets' orbits range from nine to
54 days, at a distance closer to their star than Venus
orbits our sun, meaning they are incredibly hot.
The planet closest to HD 110067 has an orbit
three times faster than its closest neighbor.
Scientists estimate that only
one-in-100 solar systems have retained
synchronicity since coming into being. .
Astronomers believe that giant planets, meteor
bombardments and close encounters with nearby stars
all contribute to altering the paths of solar systems.
This Day in History: Rosa Parks Ignites Bus Boycott
This Day in History: , Rosa Parks Ignites Bus Boycott.
December 1, 1955.
“The mother of the civil
rights movement,” Parks was jailed
in Montgomery, AL, for refusing to give
up her seat on a public bus to a white man.
A Montgomery city ordinance
required Black Americans to
sit in the back of city buses and
give up their seats to white riders.
The local chapter of the NAACP,
of which Parks was a member,
had been planning to challenge
the racist bus laws for months.
The 42-year-old seamstress'
decision to refuse her seat was
spontaneous, but she was aware
of the implications of her choice.
Parks' historic act of civil
disobedience led to the
successful Montgomery Bus Boycott,
organized by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Less than a year after Parks' arrest,
the U.S. Supreme Court struck
down the bus segregation laws as
a violation of the 14th Amendment

Russia Bans ‘LGBT’ Movement
Russia Bans , ‘LGBT’ Movement.
On Nov. 30, Russia's Supreme Court deemed the "international LGBT public movement" to be an
extremist organization, BBC News reports.
LGBT activities were
banned throughout Russia.
The closed-door hearing did not host anyone
from "the defendant's side," the court said.
Vitaly Milonov, an MP from the ruling party,
United Russia, said that the ban was "not about
sexual minorities or the private life of individuals.".
It's more about the political agenda
proclaimed by this LGBT international
movement. They have their own tasks,
their own goals. They act as a political force,
a political structure and the goals of this
structure contravene the Russian Constitution, Vitaly Milonov, an MP from the
ruling party, United Russia, via BBC News.
The BBC's Steve Rosenberg responded by
saying, "But there isn't a movement called
the 'International LGBT public movement.'
How can you ban something that doesn't exist?".
Oh, it's easy. We can ban any activities from LGBT international organizations here in Russia.
That's nice. We don't need them, Vitaly Milonov, an MP from the
ruling party, United Russia, via BBC News.
LGBTQ advocates in Russia fear that the new
ruling will result in mass arrests and prosecutions.
This is real repression. There is panic in
Russia's LGBT community. People are
emigrating urgently. The actual word
we're using is evacuation. We're having to
evacuate from our own country. It's terrible. , Sergei Troshin, a municipal deputy in St. Petersburg
who came out as gay last year, via statement.
I think [the court hearing] is linked
to the presidential election next
March. [The authorities] are

Trump Gag Order Reinstated in Fraud Case
Trump Gag Order , Reinstated in Fraud Case.
In early October, Judge Arthur Engoron issued a
gag order preventing Donald Trump from making comments about court staff, Fox News reports. .
Trump violated the order twice and was fined
a total of $15,000. Judge Engoron also
threatened him with imprisonment. .
But on Nov. 16, appeals court Judge
David Friedman lifted the gag order,
citing Trump's First Amendment rights.
In another turn of events, on Nov. 30, the gag order
was reinstated by a New York appellate court. .
Judge Engoron commented
on the development. .
I intend to enforce the gag orders
rigorously and vigorously. I want to make
sure that counsel informs their clients of
the fact that the stay was vacated, Judge Engoron, via statement.
Trump’s attorney, Chris Kise, responded
by saying, “It is a tragic day for the rule
of law, but we’re aware,” CNN reports. .
“It is what it is,” Engoron said. .

NBC reports that Red Lobster's parent
company has disclosed the company's
unexpectedly large Q3 losses. .
According to Thai Union Group, the losses were
the result of Red Lobster's $20 shrimp promotion,
which was more popular than anticipated.
The proportion of the people
selecting this promotion was much
higher compared to expectation, Ludovic Garnier, Chief Financial Officer at Thai Union Group, via NBC.
This year, the company changed its annual all-you-can-eat-shrimp deal from a limited-time offer to a permanent one. .
The company said the decision was meant
to boost traffic when business tends to slow
in the third and fourth quarters of the year. .
While the strategy did bring in more customers,
bolstering the company's market share, low margins
from the popular deal presented a problem.
The company responded to the
promotion's surprising popularity by raising
the price from $20 to $22 and now to $25. .
It’s one of the iconic promotions for
Red Lobster, so we want to keep it in
the menu but, of course, we we need
to be much more careful regarding
what is the entry point and
what is the price point we’re
offering for this promotion, Ludovic Garnier, Chief Financial Officer at Thai Union Group, via NBC.
Thai Union Group invested in Red Lobster in 2016 and obtained the rest of the company from Golden
Gate Capital in 2020 with a group of other investors.
In March, Bloomberg News reported that
Thai Union Group would seek to sell its stake in the
restaurant chain if performance fails to improve
Wolverines Threatened With Extinction Receive Federal Protection
Wolverines Threatened With Extinction , Receive Federal Protection.
On November 29, the Biden administration
released a proposal to give the North American
wolverine long-delayed federal protections.
ABC News reports that the proposal comes following warnings by scientists that climate change is likely
to destroy the rare species' snowy mountain habitat.
By the early 1900s, wolverines had been mostly
wiped out across the U.S. as a result of
unregulated hunting and poisoning campaigns.
An estimated 300 surviving wolverines continue
to live in the contiguous U.S. in isolated groups at
high elevations in the northern Rocky Mountains.
Increasing temperatures are expected
to reduce the mountain snowpack, which
wolverines rely on to birth and raise their cubs.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's decision to protect
wolverines comes after over two decades of debate
regarding threats to the species' long-term survival.
According to officials, the new protections are , “due primarily to the ongoing and increasing
impacts of climate change and associated
habitat degradation and fragmentation.”.
ABC reports that wolverines, which resemble
small bears, are the world's largest
species of terrestrial weasels.
A 2020 lawsuit against the Fish and Wildlife Service claimed
that wolverines face extinction due to a combination of
climate change, habitat loss and low genetic diversity. .
Scientists have suggested that some of the species'
losses could be offset if wolverines are allowed to
recolonize in areas like California's Sierra Nevada
How to Be Kinder to Yourself
