US President Joe Biden has urged Hamas to accept a new Israeli proposal to end the conflict in Gaza, saying that “it’s time for this war to end”. The three-part proposal would begin with a six-week ceasefire in which the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) would withdraw from populated areas of Gaza. There would also be a “surge” of humanitarian aid, as well as an exchange of some hostages for Palestinian prisoners. The deal would eventually lead to a permanent “cessation of hostilities” and a major reconstruction plan for Gaza. Hamas said it views the proposal “positively”. Speaking at the White…

In fact, according to Mintel, an agency that conducts consumer research, almost half of millennials use some type of vitamin or dietary supplement to support their mental health. But everything isn’t for everyone.

If you live in a larger body, sometimes it feels like you can’t win. If you don’t lose weight, people will criticize you for being “lazy,” “unhealthy,” or “lacking willpower.” But if you take medication to help you, you’ll be criticized for “cheating” or “taking the easy way out,” even if you’ve tried for decades to manage your weight through diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes (sometimes extreme ones). In this article, we’ll be talking about a highly contentious group of medicines—GLP-1 receptor agonist drugs such as semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound). And people have lots of opinions…
A man has been arrested in southern France over a plan to attack a football stadium which will be used during this summer’s Olympic Games, officials say. The 18-year-old of Chechen origin was apprehended in Saint-Etienne on 22 May after authorities found evidence of an Islamist-inspired attack, officials say. Interior Minister Gérard Darmanin praised the intelligence services for successfully foiling the first plot targeting the Games. France is on high alert in the run-up to the Olympics, which start on 26 July. Authorities have not named the man arrested last week. According French media, he was caught after exchanging encrypted…
Business intelligence (BI) analysts are problem solvers. It’s their job to crunch data—through software, tools, and their own coding—to figure out how a company can improve operations, sell and grow more efficiently, and preempt potential challenges. Because of the immense impact their work can have on an organization, and the fact that their skill set is highly specialized and hard to come by, BI analysts tend to make a lot of money. Whether you’re already in the industry or exploring your options, we’ll explain common salaries for this role depending on where you live—and why factoring in cost of living…
Johannesburg, South Africa – Former President Jacob Zuma, is emerging as the biggest victor of South Africa’s general elections as his new breakaway uMkhonto we Sizwe Party (MK Party) appears poised for major gains at the expense of the country’s governing African National Congress. With more than two-thirds of votes counted on Friday evening, the MK appeared to be on the cusp of grabbing power in KwaZulu Natal, comfortably leading in a province where the ANC has never previously lost since the first post-apartheid elections in 1994. Nationally, as results trickled in, the MK stood third with approximately 12 percent…
Posted 5/24/24 | May 24th, 2024 I never leave home without travel insurance. After over 15 years on the road, I’ve learned firsthand how important it is. Not only has it helped me deal with lost luggage, canceled flights, and medical emergencies, but it’s helped countless friends and readers of my blog too. However, travel insurance is a boring topic to read about. Nobody likes comparing plans and reading policies. Myself included. It’s the least exciting part of trip planning. Fortunately, it’s never been easier to find a plan and policy that suits your needs and budget. More and more…
You only get one pair of ears, so it’s a good idea to look after them—and a good set of earplugs can come in handy in all kinds of situations. A proper set is a much better solution for blocking out noise during the night than a pillow over the head and is more comfortable than headphones. What you’re looking for in earplugs really depends on what you want them to do. When you’re sleeping, for example, comfort is paramount. Plus, you need an indiscriminate approach to blocking out snores, traffic noise, or a car alarm down the street.…
As moms, we set the tone in our house for our family, and that includes teaching our kids the importance of eating real foods. We want to create lifelong health habits for our kids and prevent things like heart disease, obesity, unhealthy cholesterol, and blood sugar problems. Making a list of whole foods to keep on hand has really helped me with this. Two priorities for my family are avoiding processed foods with additives and added sugar and eating more whole foods. I do this by keeping my kitchen well stocked and meal planning. This keeps the not-so-great options out…
