Researchers have found that wounds heal three times more slowly in humans than in other primates and rodents, suggesting we may have evolved slower healing at some point in our ancestry.

Businesses all over the country are bracing themselves for the impact of the president’s newly imposed tariffs, which have continued to disrupt the dynamics of trade in the United States and around the world. The tariffs have caused supply chains to become disorganized, leading to a rise in operational costs for various industries, thus compelling them to rethink their financial plans to preserve their competitive edge. United Parcel Service (UPS), a significant player in the logistics and shipping industry and one of the businesses being affected, recently announced a significant strategic decision in response to the changing nature of the trade landscape. UPS announces job cuts due to reduced shipments from Amazon United Parcel Service(UPS) delivery truck / Wikipedia Responding to the dwindling number of shipments from its largest customer, Amazon, as well as other economic challenges, UPS recently announced a major reorganization plan that includes the cutting of 20,000 jobs and the closure of about 73 of its facilities. The decision was made to simplify processes and boost the company’s profitability in the face of declining demand and growing running expenses. During a high-level managerial meeting that took place on Tuesday, April 29, UPS Chief Financial Officer Brian Dykes provided an overview of the plan. He stated that by streamlining its staff and consolidating its infrastructure would boost the company’s financial position. A total of $21.5 billion in savings is anticipated to be generated as a result of the cut down in workforce that is scheduled to commence later this year. These savings will be redirected into company divisions that create a higher profit. Reacting to the company’s announcement, Sean M. O’Brien, the Teamsters general president, revealed that UPS is legally bound by their national master agreement to create 30,000 Teamsters jobs, a commitment that the union expects the company to uphold. He explained that although the Teamsters have no issue with UPS simplifying its corporate management structure, any attempt to undermine the contract or eliminate well-compensated union jobs would be met with strong opposition as the union is ready to fight a major battle to preserve the hard-earned positions of its members, signaling a zero-tolerance approach to contractual violations or job cuts targeting Teamsters workers. United Parcel Service(UPS) company/Wikipedia Carol Tomé says cutting Amazon’s shipment volume will help the company UPS announced earlier this year intentions to drastically lessen its reliance on Amazon by lowering its shipment volume with the massive online retailer by more than 50% by mid-2026. Though Amazon is UPS’s biggest customer, accounting for 11.8% of the company’s total income, Carol Tomé, the CEO, said there is a need for diversifying the company’s client base to improve financial security to combat the approaching economic instability in the United States. They added that by trying to lower UPS’s reliance on Amazon, the company aims to increase flexibility in its operations, thus enabling it to successfully navigate potential issues and take advantage of future opportunities in the logistics sector. Amazon store/Wikimedia Commons Though UPS has seen some effects from the current administration’s tariff, especially the 145% taxes on Chinese imports, the overall effects are yet unknown. While consumers mostly dependent on Chinese trade do not intend to leave the market, Tomé clarified that many are unsure about their next actions and are hopeful for a possible tariff rollback, noting that UPS recognizes the general uncertainty surrounding the implementation and lifetime of these tariffs, so complicating long-term planning. Consequently, the company expects the second quarter’s inc to be lower than last year’s, which is mainly attributed to tariffs and less reliance on Amazon. Notwithstanding these difficulties, the CEO stated that the company has not yet changed its projection for the year but issued a strong warning that should tariffs continue to influence U.S. customer behavior, other changes may become necessary.

Every actor faces a moment when a big opportunity comes with a big decision. For Terrence Howard, that moment came when he was asked to portray music legend Marvin Gaye on-screen. But it wasn’t the fame or the challenge that made him hesitate; it was one particular scene. Actors reject roles all the time, but Terrence’s reason is unlike any other. Terrence Howard recently shared that he turned down the chance to play Gaye because he didn’t feel comfortable kissing a man onscreen. His honesty has sparked conversation, not just about acting, but about how personal values and public roles can sometimes clash. Terrence Howard revealed he would cut his lips off if he kissed a man             View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by TMZ (@tmz_tv)   During an episode of the Club Random podcast with Bill Maher, Terrence Howard called it one of the biggest mistakes of his career. He explained that he had been talking with director Lee Daniels about playing Marvin Gaye in a movie. At the same time, Smokey Robinson had also shown interest in Howard portraying his life story. Howard said things changed after he spoke with music legend Quincy Jones. He asked Jones about rumors that Gaye might have been gay, and Jones said yes. That made Howard stop and think. “They would’ve wanted to do that,” he said, referring to a possible gay relationship in the movie. “And I wouldn’t have been able to do that.” Terrence Howard during an episode of the Club Random podcast with Bill Maher/YouTube video screenshot Howard’s words have caused a stir, especially one comment where he said, “If I kissed some man, I would cut my lips off.” He added that it’s not about hate or being homophobic. To him, acting means going all in,  and if he couldn’t fully be that character, he didn’t want to take the role. “I can’t surrender myself to a place that I don’t understand,” he told Maher. Howard made it clear that it’s about being honest in his work, not judging anyone else’s lifestyle. Terrence Howard has never been one to follow the crowd. He’s best known for his role as Lucious Lyon in Empire, a show that was also created by Lee Daniels. He also earned an Oscar nomination for Hustle & Flow, proving he’s got range. But Howard has always had clear lines he won’t cross. He mentioned in another podcast that he’s lost jobs for not “bending over in that way.” For him, it’s about keeping what he calls his “man card.” Right or wrong, Howard believes in staying true to what feels right for him, even if it costs him roles.

Marvin Gaye’s music changed and inspired generations; songs like “What’s Going On” and “Sexual Healing” made him a legend, but his personal life was just as complex. Marvin Gaye, 1983 publicity shot for ‘MOTOWN 25’ / Everett Collection He married Anna Gordy, sister to Berry Gordy. However, the couple separated in 1973, and Gordy filed for divorce in November 1975. After Anna, Gaye married Janis Hunter in October 1977. They also separated in 1979 and officially divorced in November 1982. Gaye was the father of three children: Marvin III, Nona, and Frankie. There have been some rumblings around the late Marvin Gaye’s sexuality. People are saying the beloved song and dance man was “a homo.” I think one look at his gorgeous, sexpot of a wife (14 years married) will confirm, once and for all, that he was “All Man,” all day long. pic.twitter.com/6HF4k4tB63 — Your friend, Vince Classic (@VinceClassic) April 29, 2025 There have always been questions about Gaye’s private world, including his sexuality, but Gaye never confirmed or denied them. Whether true or not, these stories are part of why many believe his life deserves an honest biopic. For fans, it’s not about rumors; it’s about telling the full story. Marvin Gaye, ca. 1982 / Everett Collection Terrence Howard’s decision to turn down the Marvin Gaye biopic shows how personal beliefs can shape a career. Not every actor will say yes to every part. And not every story needs to be told by the same kind of voice. But what matters is that legends like Marvin Gaye are remembered and honored.
