 Thursday, John Hussman , the president of the Hussman Investment Trust who called the 2000 and 2008 stock market crashes, added two more indicators to the mix that show "economic conditions hovering at the threshold of recession."

Hussman points out several red flags indicating potential market instability: inflated valuations, noticeable divergences across different stock sectors, and a disproportionate bullish sentiment. A particular concern he highlights is the increasing number of stocks hitting new 52-week lows despite overall market indices reaching new heights.

A composite index measuring manufacturing output against business demand. When orders for goods outpace manufacturing output, it's a sign of a healthy economy. 

At the moment, the ratio is floating right around zero. The only times it has dipped into negative territory have been during the last eight recessions.

Knowing how key cognitive functions could change in people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease can make a significant difference to patients and those caring for them.

Data was logged for numerous demographic, health, and functional factors including experience of pain, depression, and neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Measures of cognitive decline were significant for all of the participants, though there was sufficient variation to uncover some relationships.

Being older,         being female,       having difficulty with daily activities,             and having a history of atrial fibrillation (issues with irregular heart rhythms) were identified by the researchers as predicting the biggest declines in cognitive ability.

While there's currently no treatment that can prevent or cure dementia, researchers have identified some factors that may help protect you from cognitive decline.

US-made armored vehicles in service with the Ukrainian military are up against an unfamiliar threat on the battlefield, one that they haven't faced in previous wars.

Russia and Ukraine employ small drones strapped with explosives as a way to deliver cheap and effective precision strikes on enemy armor, often damaging or destroying them.

The US Army is closely watching how US armored systems delivered to Ukraine — specifically the M1 Abrams tank and M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle — are performing in combat and holding up in this new type of warfare.

It's also taking lessons from the conflict and applying them in training, teaching new soldiers how to grasp the threat of small drones. Col. James Modlin, the deputy commandant of the US Army Armor School, said that it was "important" for them to be able to understand the prevalence of small unmanned systems on future battlefields and that the fight was changing.

The UK wants to let Ukraine use its Storm Shadow missiles on Russian soil but isn't giving Kyiv permission out of concern that the US won't back the call, according to multiple reports.

The Telegraph and the Financial Times reported Tuesday that London officials have privately been asking the US for the go-ahead this summer.

But Ukraine has yet to receive the green light to launch the British and French-made cruise missiles on targets inside Russia — a move that it's championed as the next crucial step for the war effort.

Comment: 

The Ukraine leader wants to expand the war with Russia. Off course he is using weapons from US, France, etc.    What will that lead to? Just a thought.
