Meltdown]( The die is cast. So, it seems, is the dye. President Donald Trump has [called Michigan’s Republican state legislators]( to the White House in his latest bid to overturn election results in the state, which Democrat Joe Biden won. All as his adviser Rudy Giuliani addressed a press conference with [hair dye dripping down the side]( of his sweaty face. The heat is on. 2. Promises to Keep Trump is expected to unveil [new rules to keep drug prices down]( on Friday, fulfilling a key campaign promise, even as Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin moved to [end several pandemic lending programs]( on Dec. 31. Do you think Mnuchin’s right? [Vote on Twitter](. Meanwhile, China has given an [unproven COVID-19 vaccine to 1 million people](. 3. Eye for an Eye It’s getting gory. Thursday Beijing hit back at the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand — a group known as the Five Eyes — over criticism of China’s Hong Kong crackdown, issuing a direct threat: “They should be careful or their [eyes will be plucked out](.” And in Ethiopia, the government has [accused World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus]( of supporting rebels from the Tigray region in their war with federal forces. The WHO boss has rejected the charges. 4. Model Pontiff? Even the Pope’s crying fake news. The Vatican has asked Instagram for an explanation after [Pope Francis’ account liked a racy photo of a Brazilian model]( who quickly claimed she had received the pontiff’s blessing. The Vatican insists the “like” didn’t come from the Holy See. Ducks in a Row Thailand’s protesters have planned well. Faced with increasingly violent backlash from the police, the country’s youth, who are seeking greater government accountability, are now [marching with giant inflatable ducks](, using them as shields.

Now meet the real ruling queens of chess today. [1. Hou Yifan]( She'll checkmate you in the time it takes to read this brief. The youngest-ever female grandmaster, Hou started [playing at age 5](, and was soon trouncing much older players. The 26-year-old from China [wanted to become a detective]( before she decided cracking the mysteries of chess was close enough. The [world's top female player]( today — and arguably its greatest ever — grew up [idolizing American legend Bobby Fischer](. A Rhodes Scholar, she’s also the youngest-ever professor at Shenzhen University. None of that's impacted her performance. Just ask her opponents. 2. Aleksandra Goryachkina The 22-year-old Russian still has baby fat on her cheeks, but she's already a giant of the game, ranked second behind Hou. The [daughter of former chess players]( loves classical music and teaches at her father's chess school. That's when she's not teaching her chess opponents a lesson or two. In January, she nearly won the world championships. She's [ready to go one better]( the next time. 3. Deysi Cori [Latin America's top female chess player](, the Lima-born Cori is a [four-time continental champion](. The [27-year-old]( makes bold moves away from the chess board too: In 2018, [she stood by a Peruvian national teammate]( who accused their male captain of sexual harassment. Win or lose, she won't back down. The U.S. Chess Federation is witnessing record female membership. You can encourage the next generation with a [donation](. Oh, and how about a fun chess teaser? Which two of these are real chess openings? a. Rook’s Gambit   b. Hippopotamus Defense  c. Lion’s Mane  d.

And don’t forget to listen to the final episode of [OZY’s special podcast]( on the forgotten Election Day massacre in Ocoee, Florida, that shadows American democracy a century later. Who Wants to Live Forever? As vain as the idea might sound (especially in 2020), science is actually unlocking the secrets to a longer life — a much longer life. [1. Until 400]( If this pathbreaking research by American and Chinese scientists pans out, you might live long enough to see Kim Jong Un's great-great-great-great-grandson rule North Korea (still threatening a nuclear war). Researchers have found chemical pathways that could help[increase the human lifespan to 400 years](. 2. Okinawan Ratio All that high-protein diet talk we've heard all these years? Kill it already. The[inhabitants of Japan’s Okinawa Islands]( live the longest on the planet. Now scientists are exploring their food habits — a 10-to-1 carb-to-protein ratio — as the possible elixir of youth. 3. Space Out New research published this week by Israeli scientists shows that a special[oxygen treatment that astronauts and deep-sea divers receive helps to reverse aging](. In other words, we can breathe easy. //link.ozy.com/click/22155116.116138/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cub3p5LmNvbS8_dXRtX3Rlcm09T1pZJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1XSVlDJnV0bV9jb250ZW50PUZyaWRheV8xMS4yMC4yMA/5cc372683f92a4331dae6934Md1cfc180 Monuments to Love No matter how long we live, love survives death. We all know the Taj Mahal in India. But it’s not the only magnificent reminder of love.  [1. Nefertari’s Tomb]( You’ve likely heard of Nefertiti — but ancient Egypt’s greatest love story involved [Queen Nefertari and Pharaoh Ramses II](. Her tomb’s been compared to the Sistine Chapel. There, Ramses II engraved his final ode to Nefertari: “My love is unique — no one can rival her, for she is the most beautiful woman alive.” 2. Eleanor’s Crosses Their love was set in stone. Edward I was a teenager when he met the 10-year-old Eleanor. But the rulers of England shared a love that would remain unshakable. When Eleanor passed in 1290, Edward had [12 crosses built from Lincoln to London]( in her memory. 3. Ollantaytambo This ancient Quechua town in Peru — now in ruins — was once home to a powerful [story of forbidden love](. Warrior chief Ollantay and princess Cusi Coyllur wanted to marry but the emperor — Cosi’s father — forbade them and dismissed Ollantay. The angry warrior declared himself an enemy of the empire. The king decided he cared more for his crown than his ego, and agreed to the marriage. //link.ozy.com/click/22155116.116138/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cub3p5LmNvbS8_dXRtX3Rlcm09T1pZJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1XSVlDJnV0bV9jb250ZW50PUZyaWRheV8xMS4yMC4yMA/5cc372683f92a4331dae6934Pd1cfc180 Brilliant Breakfasts It’s the weekend — and time to experiment. These simple but amazing breakfast recipes will transport you to places you can’t visit at the moment. [1. Jianbing]( It's delicious art. This[popular Chinese crepe]( — I've had my share at street stalls in Beijing — is loaded with egg, scallions, coriander and a choice of sauces, with deep fried crackers bringing the crunch. It's folded neatly into an envelope that you open by biting into it, and letting its secrets ooze out. 2. Changua Milk, eggs, cilantro and scallions — all whipped into a soup. Drop some bread into it and let it soak in the flavors. The best part? This[Colombian breakfast]( is perfect to get over your Sunday morning hangover. 3.
