AXIOS (Barak Ravid) - U.S. diplomats meet with Houthis as Red Sea crisis intensifies
American diplomats met over the weekend with Houthi representatives at the U.S. embassy in Oman and discussed tensions in the Red Sea, a regional source familiar with the issue confirmed. Why it matters: The meeting in Muscat, which was organized with the help of the Omani government, focused on maintaining a ceasefire between the U.S. and Houthis and guaranteeing that the Bab al-Mandeb Strait stays open, the source said. - The U.S. is in a delicate position, wanting to keep a vital shipping lane open without getting drawn into Saudi Arabia's battle in Yemen against the Iran-backed Houthis. Washington has so far rejected Saudi requests to get involved militarily. - The State Department declined to comment. Driving the news: The source…

Japan now counts more than 107,000 residents aged 100 or older, a milestone that doubles as a warning sign for a nation whose fertility rate has fallen to its lowest level on record. The country's Health and Welfare Ministry released figures Tuesday showing 107,677 centenarians living in Japan, up 7,914 from the previous year and past the 100,000 mark for the first time. The announcement, timed to Japan's Sept. 15 Respect the Aged Day, drew praise from Health Minister Kenichiro Ueno, and an immediate pivot to the demographic crisis those numbers help illustrate. Nearly 88 percent of the centenarians are women. The oldest Japanese woman, 114-year-old Fuyo Kishimoto of Kyoto, was recently recognized for the distinction. Japan's oldest man,…Open

NASA astronaut Jessica Meir shared a video from the International Space Station walking fellow curly-haired viewers through her zero-gravity hair-care routine, and the results are out of this world. Meir, stationed roughly 260 miles above the planet, demonstrated how she washes and conditions her curls without the luxury of a shower, running water, or even gravity to keep things in place. The video, first spotlighted by the New York Post , walks viewers step by step through a process most people on the ground take for granted every morning. Her routine starts with weightless drops of water applied directly to her head, droplets that float freely in microgravity rather than running down like they would on Earth. From there, Meir works in…Open
AMERICANALMANAC (Sadie Smith) - Hurricane Marie swells strip sand from iconic California surf spot, exposing century-old construction relics
Massive swells from Hurricane Marie peeled back layers of sand at Newport Beach's legendary Wedge, unearthing wooden pilings and steel cables believed to date to a 1917 harbor construction project.

Massive swells from Hurricane Marie peeled back layers of sand at Newport Beach's legendary Wedge, unearthing wooden pilings and steel cables believed to date to a 1917 harbor construction project. The storm churned hundreds of miles offshore in an El Niño-supercharged Pacific, but its reach was long enough to send punishing surf into the Southern California coast over Labor Day Weekend. At The Wedge, a narrow strip of beach at the tip of the Balboa Peninsula famous for its shore-breaking waves, the erosion went deep. Beachgoers watched as the retreating sand revealed a row of weathered wooden pilings jutting roughly seven feet into the air, along with chunks of jetty rock and rusted steel cables that had sat buried and forgotten for…Open
