China's core inflation cooled to the weakest in over three years, fuelling calls for more efforts to boost household spending as weak demand mounted pressure on the annual growth target. The consumer price index excluding volatile food and energy costs rose just 0.3% in August from a year earlier, the least since March 2021, the National Bureau of Statistics said. The broader CPI rose 0.6%, missing expectations even as it was buoyed by higher food costs due to bad weather last month. Taken together, the figures provide more evidence of weak consumer demand, prompting calls for more measures to stave off a negative cycle of declining corporate revenue, wages and spending.

Games Primates Play, by University of Chicago behavioural scientist Dario Maestripieri, I’ve never looked at my inbox the same way. Email, writes Maestripieri, is governed by the rules of dominance hierarchy, which is central to the games we social primates are wired to play.

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris in the final stretch of the campaign is introducing herself to voters before her Republican rival, Donald Trump, has a chance to define her. Until her sudden election to the top of the Democratic ticket this summer, Harris was still a somewhat unknown figure in national politics, driven in part by her aversion to opening up and embracing the spotlight. And since she's become the nominee, Republicans have criticised Harris for not doing many interviews or giving enough specifics on her policy plans. But the vice president is sharing personal details about her childhood, cooking and food to show her more private side.

Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have been making efforts to connect with voters through their association with McDonald’s, a brand deeply embedded in American culture. The question arises: Can McDonald’s play a role in influencing the votes for these high-profile candidates?

rains are sometimes called moga pavs in Goa. Literally this means “rains of love”, but my farmer friend explained an additional agricultural connection: “It is a very soothing and calm rain for plants and even humans.” June-July rains have damaging intensity, but these later showers embrace the plants. With moist soil and spells of bright sun, it is the perfect time to plant vegetable and fruit seeds. Rice for the kharif crop is planted earlier, since it flourishes in flooded fields, but now the shoots are vivid green, a reminder that this is a growing season. The festivals in this season celebrate growth. Rishi Panchami, which is today, is marked in Western India with a dish made of seasonal leaves and vegetables like those the sages might have foraged from jungles. Onam has its carpet made with freshly plucked flower petals and leaves. Ganesh Chaturthi in Goa has the matoli tradition — where a canopy of seasonal fruits and leaves, many gathered from the wild, is suspended over the Ganesh idol.

sattu (flour made from fried gram), and eggs instead of whey protein supplements. While her emphasis on whole foods was spot on, I sensed an underlying fear of whey protein.
