A beauty expert advises against wearing makeup on airplanes as the dry environment can be harmful to the skin, potentially causing irreversible damage and accelerated aging. The expert warns that makeup on a plane can lead to excessively dry skin which may result in increased oil secretion. It is recommended to focus on skin hydration and protection, such as using sunscreen and avoiding direct sun exposure. The quality of air both on the ground and at cruising altitude is crucial for skin health, with potential threats including toxins in circulated air and intensified UV radiation at high altitudes.

The 'Petrodollar Agreement' between the US and Saudi Arabia, signed in 1973 and expiring recently, was announced not to be renewed by a Saudi prince on the 9th, marking the end of the 'Petrodollar' era. This agreement tied the dollar directly to oil in international markets. While some analysts believe the threat to the dollar's reserve currency status is exaggerated, the termination of this agreement could potentially weaken the dollar and impact the US financial markets, signaling a detachment of the dollar from oil. The shift towards alternative energy sources and changes in global oil market dynamics have also played crucial roles in this decision.

Chinese solar company Trina Solar is considering establishing a factory in the US to produce solar cells for panels, aiming to avoid trade barriers as the US increases import restrictions. The company is evaluating a facility that could produce 5 gigawatts of cells annually to supply its Texas manufacturing plant and create 1,500 local jobs by the end of 2024. Trina intends to scale up US capacity in response to Washington's emphasis on local production, with a final decision expected by the end of the year for the new factory to be operational by 2025 or 2026. Chinese companies like Trina are enhancing US presence due to declining profits at home and US incentives for domestic clean energy manufacturing, despite historical tariffs on Chinese solar equipment.

Saudi Arabia announced it will not renew the Petrodollar Agreement, which linked oil trades to the US dollar, potentially shaking the global financial order and signaling a shift away from the US dollar hegemony. The agreement, in place for 50 years, ensured US oil supply stability and supported its debt market, while in exchange, Riyadh received military support and protection. With the agreement expiring, Saudi Arabia can now price oil exports in currencies other than the US dollar, like the yuan, euro, ruble, yen, and potentially even cryptocurrencies, leading to geopolitical adjustments and a trend towards using national currencies in energy trade. This move may weaken the dollar's position, impacting inflation, interest rates, and bond markets in the US.
