Why midlife looks different for millennials

If you want to get a sense of how American midlife has changed, look
no further than 1991 comedy “Father of the Bride,” in which actors
Steve Martin and Diane Keaton play parents in their mid-40s.
Conversation around a 2022 viral tweet calling out those portrayals
largely agrees: whatever the movie’s ideal of middle age, it
doesn’t resemble today’s spry 40-year-olds.

Yes, midlife looks different now—in fashion, in youthful attitude,
and in cold, hard numbers. Most days, with no kids, no husband, no
mortgage, I don’t think of myself as a “real” grown-up at 37, at
least not of the Keaton-Martin caliber. Sure, some people of my
generation will soon have kids old enough to get married. But many are
just having their first children—the median age of mothers giving
birth increased to 30 between 1990 and 2019—or, like one fifth of
adults, don’t plan to have kids at all.

When Lois and Harry Gibbs moved to a three-bedroom home in Niagara
Falls, New York, in 1972, the young wife thought she’d hit the
jackpot. “I really thought I had succeeded in finding the best house
in this entire country,” Gibbs recalls. Her husband, a chemical
worker, had a good job. Her neighbors were close-knit, the area
idyllic. And kids, were everywhere, roaming the neighborhood, swimming
in the local creek—the Love Canal neighborhood was an area
“alive” with children.

But things were not what they seemed. Under the surface, in the soil
beneath its perfect houses, lay chemical contamination from a toxic
waste dump—a ticking time bomb that would result in disease,
tragedy, and Gibbs’ transformation from shy housewife into a
nationally known environmental activist.

Is there a tape of Trump saying a racial slur? If so, what would it
actually reveal? What could it?In 2018, Omarosa Manigault Newman
turned a long-standing rumor into a piece of news: Donald Trump, she
alleged, had used racist epithets on the set of The Apprentice. And
the slurs, she claimed, had been caught on tape. Her claim led to a
frenzy of speculation: Would the Apprentice recordings do what the
Access Hollywood tapes had not? Would the show that had bolstered
Trump's rise in politics be, in the end, his undoing? What becomes of
a public figure who has been caught, in such a literal way, saying the
quiet part out loud?

Why Extreme Syphilis Symptoms Are Showing Up Now

For some, the world suddenly goes blurry. Others describe it as having
a dust storm in your eyes, or being shaken up in a snow globe. People
might see flashing lights or black spots drifting through their field
of vision, or acquire a sudden sensitivity to light, worse than
walking into the sunlight after having your eyes dilated. If patients
aren't treated, some will inevitably go blind.

Many medical providers never suspect the culprit: syphilis. Usually, a
syphilis infection shows up first as a firm, painless sore on the
genitals or inside the mouth or anus, then as a rash, often on the
hands and feet. If the infection is caught in either of these two
stages, the cure is a shot of penicillin, which kills the bacteria.
Left untreated, syphilis can enter another, more dangerous phase,
attacking the heart, bones, brain, or nerves years or even decades
later. Only about 1 to 5 percent of syphilis cases are thought to
involve the eyes.

The Dalai Lama Is Landing in the Middle of the 2024 Election

In early September of 2020, Joe Biden, then the Democratic nominee for
president, promised to put valuesâvalues held in contempt, he argued,
by the man he would go on to defeatâat the center of American foreign
policy. To act on his promise, he said, he would do something Donald
Trump had neglected to do. "I'll meet with His Holiness the Dalai
Lama," Biden said.

For American presidents, meeting the 14th Dalai Lama can bring tension
and discord, because Communist Party leaders in Beijing consider Tibet
to be a part of China. They consider any recognition of the Dalai
Lamaâa Mandela-level icon, a symbol of Tibet's will to survive, and
also (by the way) a living Buddha, a bodhisattva, to his millions of
followersâa terrible insult to Chinese sensitivities. (To be fair,
Chinese leaders are omnidirectionally offended, by supporters of
Taiwanese independence and Hong Kong democracy; by Christians and
Uyghurs and Mongols; and by anyone else who threatens their Middle
Kingdom sense of imperial entitlement.)

Did the massive scale of death in the Americas following colonial

question scientists have debated over the last 30 years, ever since
they noticed a sharp drop in CO2 around the year 1610 in air preserved
in Antarctic ice.

More than 73% of American adults are overweight, according to the
CDC. This puts them at increased risk of death and many serious health
issues, but losing weight and keeping it off through diet changes and
exercise — the standard approach — is notoriously difficult.

That made the FDA’s 2021 approval of Novo Nordisk’s semaglutide
(Wegovy) as an obesity treatment seem like something of a miracle.

They say recruiting is a lot like dating. Online profiles act as
piles of resumes that reduce humans to a comparatively tiny number
of choice words they've strung together to entice you to consider
them. All are hopelessly vying for your attention, if not
approval. 

For some, your "competitive salary" isn't competitive enough.
Others won't find your benefits package to be, well, beneficial
enough. And then there are those who are simply using your interest as
a bargaining chip to show their current engagements that they need to
step it up, as they have other options.

The President of McDonald's Just Told Customers Why He's 'Frustrated

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=9914&nl=daily]
Like 95 percent of all McDonald's locations, that store is owned
by a franchisee, which means the franchisee sets the Big Mac price.
Having the authority to make pricing decisions theoretically allows
an individual franchisee to adjust for local conditions, inflation,
etc., but it's hard not to assume that it is sometimes based on
what the local market will bear.

The average price of a Big Mac in the U.S. was $4.39 in 2019. Despite
a global pandemic and historic rises in supply chain costs, wages, and
other inflationary pressures in the years that followed, the average
cost is now $5.29. That's an increase of 21 percent (not 100
percent).

of his other biographies of people like Steve Jobs and Henry
Kissinger. But it comes down to something we've talked about before
in this column, and it's really about emotional intelligence.

In 1 Sentence, Kansas City Chiefs Tight End--and Taylor Swift

What's one of the first things you should do when you find yourself in
a new situation--working with a new client, pitching your product or
service to a new industry, or even in a new job? Learn the lingo.

That very sound advice comes from Kansas City Chiefs tight end
Travis Kelce, who helped his team win the Super Bowl three times, but
is perhaps best known for his romantic relationship with Taylor Swift.
In the latest episode of New Heights, the podcast he co-hosts with his
older brother, former Philadelphia Eagle Jason Kelce, the two brothers
discussed the importance--or perhaps unimportance--of learning their
teams' playbooks. Jason pointed out that for those who've played
football in college and/or high school, most NFL plays will be at
least somewhat familiar. Besides, he said, players are taught the
relevant plays at multiple points throughout the season and before
every game, giving them plenty of opportunities to learn their parts.

It is easy to assume that large language models or LLMs can do

the field of customer service, especially when it comes to replacing
call center agents. 

Enterprises require conversations that are reliably predictable and
can be signed off by legal, marketing, and customer experience
departments. You don't want an automated system to make up stuff on

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=9914&nl=daily]
Early in my career, I focused on the hustle mindset, often working
100-hour weeks and making work the top priority. Over time, as I've
become more professionally mature, I've come to realize family,
friends, and overall work-life balance are more important. However, it
wasn't until this year that I realized that one thing specifically
should really take priority -- my health. 

Typically, I tend to push through colds, sicknesses, and other things
like that. I have had the mindset that I had to move past them, so I
didn't slow down when I should probably have taken time to recover.
This year I wasn't able to do that. Something didn't feel right, and
although my new doctor disagreed with my feeling that something was
wrong, I still pushed forward. (Note to readers, champion your own
health, and don't let a doctor tell you that you have nothing to worry
about when you know in your heart something is off.)
