A document from IBM discusses the concept of "smart spending", which is a new approach companies can take to optimize procurement spending. It involves gaining visibility into all spending, improving compliance and spend management across the company, and leveraging external capabilities. Smart spending uses data analytics and third party partnerships to manage spending more effectively and achieve savings goals. It aims to transform procurement from a cost center into a source of cash and working capital.

The Ganges River holds deep spiritual significance in Hinduism, with over 500 million people dependent on its waters. However, rapid population growth and urbanization in India have led to tremendous pollution from sewage and waste entering the Ganges. While the Ganges is central to Hindu pilgrimage and rituals meant to wash away sins, the severe pollution is now threatening these spiritual traditions and the health of those who use the river water. Some Hindu leaders have called for action to restore the purity of the Ganges to preserve its sacred status.

Regular video game play can impact brain development in teenagers, changing how the brain maps out the real world. Puzzle and logic games may improve memory and spatial awareness, while action and role-playing games are linked to worse performance.
Video games provide temporary escape from stress, foster social connections online, and give a sense of measurable progress and challenge through feedback loops and goals. However, gaming can become addictive through mechanisms like high scores, role-playing, and discovery that are aimed at keeping players engaged.
Signs of problematic gaming include craving more time, lying about usage, and continuing to play despite negative consequences. Finding balance through limits, outside activities, and cooperative rather than competitive games can help prevent overuse

Sleep is essential for well-being. Lack of good quality or quantity of sleep can lead to issues like concentration difficulties, moodiness, reduced academic performance, and more sick days from school due to tiredness. Good sleep means falling asleep quickly, staying asleep through the night, waking without trouble, and not feeling drowsy during the day. During sleep, important processes occur like releasing hormones that regulate appetite and mood, dreaming to process information from the day, and laying down memories through neuron connections. Getting less than 8 hours or more than 8 hours of sleep per night can respectively lead to feeling stressed or increased sharpness, energy and performance.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
