If you work an office job, perhaps it’s happened to you. You didn’t get enough sleep last night. You’ve powered through the morning, yet your to-do list stretches on. You’re moving a bit slower, sated from lunch. Your computer screen becomes hazy. You glance out the window to see the sun starting its afternoon descent, and your eyelids droop with it. You decide to let yourself snooze just for a few minutes… Occasionally falling asleep at work is par for the course, according to a new survey by sleep wellness company Sleep Doctor, with 46% of respondents saying they nap…

A group of German civil servants have written to Chancellor Olaf Scholz and other senior ministers calling on the government to “cease arm deliveries to the Israeli government with immediate effect”. “Israel is committing crimes in Gaza that are in clear contradiction to international law and thus to the Constitution, which we are bound to as federal civil servants and public employees”, the statement says, citing the International Court of Justice’s ruling in January that Israel’s military actions are “plausible acts of genocide”. According to the organisers of the five-page statement, around 600 civil servants have voiced support for the…

A Powerball player in Oregon won a jackpot worth more than $1.3 billion on Sunday, ending a winless streak that had stretched more than three months. The single ticket — revealed following a delay of more than three hours to the drawing — matched all six numbers drawn to win the jackpot worth $1.326 billion, Powerball said in a statement. The jackpot has a cash value of $621 million if the winner chooses to take a lump sum rather than an annuity paid over 30 years, with an immediate payout followed by 29 annual installments. The prize is subject to federal taxes,…
France, under then-president François Mitterrand, was a close ally of the Hutu-led government of Juvenal Habyarimana prior to the killings, and Rwanda has accused France of ignoring or missing warning signs and of training the militias who carried out the attacks.
Screenshot/Rumble Karl Rove, former lead advisor to George W. Bush, remains a loyal Bush-Cheney Republican through and through. Most of that crowd does not like Donald Trump. They agree with the Democrats that the January 6, 2021, Capitol Hill riot was an “insurrection” against the federal government. Needless to say, Rove has little sympathy for some caught up in the chaos of that day. Even those receiving harsh sentences for relatively benign crimes. Nevertheless, Rove wants to go even harder on what he calls these “thugs” and “sons of bitches.” RELATED: Muslim American Says ‘Trump Is What The Country Needs’…
No matter your opinion on the current state of its animated movies, Disney is proving that it can still knock animatronics out of the park. This week, the entertainment giant gave us another early look at the new audio-animatronics being prepared for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure — a retheming of the iconic (and controversial) Splash Mountain ride — and the demonstrations so far have been breathtakingly impressive. Recognizable characters from The Princess and the Frog (2009) have been brought to robotic life across various social media posts and Disney’s new “We Call It Imagineering” YouTube series, including Princess Tiana herself, Mama…
A sailaway from port doesn’t seem quite as celebratory without a glass of Champagne or cocktail in hand. But if you don’t have a drink package for your cruise, ordering these sailaway glasses of bubbly every day — and a glass of wine at lunch and dinner — can add up quickly during a weeklong vacation. If you’re sailing with MSC Cruises, the line offers five options for all-inclusive drink packages, with two for nonalcoholic beverages. If you know you’ll be imbibing daily, it might be worth purchasing a drink package rather than buying cocktails a la carte. Also, bottled…

Throughout their working lives employees often dream of the day they’ll retire. Some wish for that moment to come as soon as possible, but for others, it may be years after the date they once hoped for. Yet a handful of people don’t subscribe to that objective at all—they enjoy their work so much they’ll work well past retirement age, even if it’s not a financial necessity. The thinking may be welcome news to BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, who said Boomers need to fix an impending ‘retirement crisis’ and help younger generations prepare for their own exit from the labor…
