“This Is My Song” is a hymn that was written by Lloyd Stone in 1934, with music composed by Jean Sibelius, a Finnish composer. The hymn was originally titled “A Song of Peace” and was written during a time of global unrest, just before World War II. Lloyd Stone was an American minister, and he wrote the lyrics to express his desire for peace and unity among nations.
The hymn gained popularity for its message of peace and hope during a turbulent period in world history. Over the years, it has been included in various hymnals and sung in churches and gatherings around the world. The combination of Stone’s heartfelt lyrics and Sibelius’s stirring music has made it a beloved hymn that continues to be sung to this day. The hymn is often used in interfaith and ecumenical settings to promote the idea of peace among all nations and people.
A conversation with Bjorn Lomborg, a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution, the president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, and one of the foremost climate experts in the world today. His new book — “False Alarm: How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet” — is an argument for treating climate as a serious problem but not an extinction-level event requiring such severe and drastic steps as rewiring a large part of the culture and the economy.

Two Yale University seniors have created a product they believe will cure what ails their peers — and many others: hangovers.
Margaret Morse and Liam McClintock wanted a supplement that would allow them to have fun on a night out, but would not impede on being able to work the next morning.
What causes hangovers to begin with? Morse, a molecular cellular and developmental biology major, told local news outlet WTNH, “There’s an acetaldehyde build up. There is a vitamin and electrolyte loss. There is a glutamine rebound and there are immunological disturbances.”
Their proposed solution is SunUp, a powdered citrus-flavored supplement filled with vitamins and nutrients.
“This is a powder that you take before you start drinking and it helps your liver deal with the stress you’re putting it under when you drink,” McClintock told WTNH. According to the New Haven Register, one would drink SunUp in a glass of water around an hour before they start drinking. While one might believe dehydration is the cause of hangovers, SunUp’s website explains that it is actually a symptom. “These two phenomena are concurrent because of the diuretic effects of alcohol, but dehydration does not cause the actual hangover feeling,” says the site’s FAQ. SunUp instead focuses on combating four root causes of a hangover: acetaldehyde building, vitamin and electrolyte loss, glutamine rebound and immunological disturbances.
“It’s intended for productive workers,” McClintock told WTNH. “Like ourselves who like to have a social life, like to go out and have a couple of drinks but also need to be productive the next day and get up and have work to do.”
Morse and McClintock have received positive feedback from fellow students and the Yale community. They’ve brought it to a pharmaceutical company, and it could be available in April. SunUp will retail for $5; if you want to pre-order, you can purchase through the company’s Indiegogo page.
