You don’t need extreme diets or grueling workout routines to boost your well-being. Enter the “20-5-3 rule” — a research-backed formula to improve mental and physical health through time spent outdoors. Developed by neuroscientist Rachel Hopman of Northeastern University, this method emphasizes small, manageable steps that can lead to big rewards. 20 minutes, three times a week The first step is to get out in nature for 20 minutes at least three times a week. Research from the University of Michigan shows this is the sweet spot for lowering cortisol, your body’s primary stress hormone. Better yet, you don’t need to sweat it out — just sit or stroll in a natural setting, soaking up sunlight and greenery. However, Dr. MaryCarol Hunter, lead author of the Michigan study, emphasizes the importance of disconnecting during these moments. Avoid “aerobic exercise, and avoid the use of social media, internet, phone calls, conversations and reading,” she said. Think of it as a mini escape, designed to reset your stress levels and help you feel grounded. Five hours monthly For an even deeper mental reset, aim for five hours a month in semiwild spaces, such as state parks. Hopman explained to Men’s Health these environments provide heightened relaxation compared to city parks. Finnish researchers agree, finding wilder settings, with their organic “chaos,” help replenish cognitive resources and foster a sense of calm. Three days annually Finally, immerse yourself in nature for three days annually. Prolonged exposure to wild landscapes activates alpha brain waves — those linked to meditation, creativity and deep relaxation, Men’s Health reported. Studies even show profound benefits for mental health: a four-day wilderness trip can reduce PTSD symptoms by 29 percent and stress by 21 percent, with effects lingering for weeks afterward. So the next time you find yourself needing a “reset,” head outside for a quick lunchtime walk, or plan a weekend in the woods. Best of all, it’s free, accessible and waiting just outside your door.Allar puts critics on mute, keeps winning for Penn State

VILLA ADELINA: Alicia Ceresoli yearns for the smell of new leather shoes and her mouth waters when she imagines sinking her teeth into a succulent steak, two indulgences the 80-year-old Argentine can no longer afford. Pensioners have taken the most pain in a year of budget-slashing by maverick “anarcho-capitalist” President Javier Milei, whose austerity measures have tipped an additional five million people into poverty since he took power last year. In September he vetoed a law that increased pensions by eight percent — a fraction of the increase needed to keep abreast of annual inflation of nearly 200 percent. “You think, why does someone who is leading a country have to shut down your life? It’s as if they told you ‘Don’t eat, don’t buy medicine, just die’,” Ceresoli said bitterly. Ceresoli, who is divorced, admits her situation could be far worse. She owns her small home in the working-class Buenos Aires suburb of Villa Adelina, meaning she is not affected by the libertarian Milei’s decision to demolish rent controls. And she is in good health, meaning that, for now at least, she is not affected by drug prices, which have shot up by 200 percent since Milei scrapped agreements with laboratories that kept drug prices low. Ceresoli is one of nearly five million retirees trying to eke out an existence on a pension of around $320 a month, a third of what the average elderly person needs to live, according to Argentina’s Ombudsman’s office. This month, she will receive a pension increase of 2.7 percent. “It’s grotesque, that’s 300 pesos per day,” said Eugenio Semino, Argentina’s Ombudsman for the elderly, of the boost equivalent to three cents. Milei, who has made it his mission to keep the budget deficit at zero after years of overspending, has insisted there is no money to significantly raise pensions. “Pensioners are the big losers” of Milei’s presidency, Gabriel Vommaro, professor of political sociology at the University of San Martin told AFP. “When you look at the fiscal adjustment that was made this year, it largely fell on retirees.” Ceresoli, who began work aged 13 in a shoe factory, has sacrificed comforts great and small in her twilight years. She used to treat herself to fresh flowers for the dining table “because they brighten up the house” but now has to settle for plastic blooms. She no longer eats beef, an abiding passion in one of the world’s top meat-loving countries, but which is now prohibitively expensive for many. She misses “the smell of new leather sandals” and outings to the cinema followed by a pizza with a friend. “It wasn’t five-star luxury, but we were happy,” she said. “Now we are becoming bitter because life is getting smaller.” Her greatest sorrow, however, is no longer being able to afford to travel to see her only daughter and two grandchildren, who live 300 kilometers away. – AFP “My heart hurts because my youngest granddaughter is 10 years old and her childhood is passing by,” she said. Greying ‘insurgents’ Every Wednesday, she joins a group of self-described “insurgent retirees” who have been protesting outside Congress for a “decent” pension for the past eight years. “It’s not new that we’re in a bad way but we’re worse off than ever,” she said. The protesters are repeatedly tear-gassed and even beaten by riot police, but Ceresoli is adamant about the need to “make noise.” Ruben Cocorullo, a retired 76-year-old electro-mechanical technician, is also a regular at the Wednesday protests. Cocorullo, who has been fitted with three stents, used to receive free medication for his heart condition. But cuts to drug coverage for retirees means now he has to pay for the treatment himself—a situation he says involves deciding whether “to eat or buy medicine.” To make ends meet he repairs old electrical devices he finds in the trash. “I’m not ashamed,” he told AFP outside Congress, adding: “It is this government and the criminals inside it, who do not defend us, who should be ashamed.” – AFPMiddle East latest: Israel bombs new central areas of BeirutLook Ahead: Local events and things to do this week, Dec. 29-Jan. 4

NEW YORK – Federal investigators in New York are seeking records from the manufacturer of an AI-powered weapons scanner that was briefly deployed this summer in New York City’s subway system. The tech company, Evolv, revealed in a public filing that it “received a voluntary document request from the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York” on Nov. 1. Recommended Videos It was unclear what the request was seeking. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan declined to comment on the request, which was first reported by the Daily News. In an emailed statement, a spokesperson for Evolv said the company was “pleased to cooperate with all government agencies and regulators who request information from our company.” The Massachusetts-based tech company, whose scanners have also been used at sports stadiums and schools, has faced allegations of misconduct. Last month, Evolv’s board of directors fired its chief executive following an internal investigation that found certain sales had been “subject to extra-contractual terms and conditions.” On Tuesday, the company announced it had resolved a previous probe launched by the Federal Trade Commission last year over allegations of deceptive marketing practices. The company is also under separate investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Despite the legal and regulatory scrutiny, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced a pilot program this summer to bring a handful of scanners to the city's subways to deter gun violence. The initiative drew immediate criticism from civil liberties groups who said the searches were unconstitutional, along with questions about its efficacy. In October, the city revealed the scanners did not detect any passengers with firearms — but falsely alerted more than 100 times. At the time, a spokesperson for the New York Police Department said it was still “evaluating the outcome of the pilot” and had not entered into any contract with Evolv.President-elect Donald Trump’s lawyers urge judge to toss his hush money conviction
