Eli Lilly said it plans to ask U.S. regulators to expand Zepbound's label to include obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA, later this year.

Starting last year, profitability became a more consistent story for the largest online grocery marketplace in North America, with millions of monthly active orderers and Instacart+ members. The company says it has now delivered over one billion orders across its 85,000-store network encompassing 1,500 retail partners. "There were a lot of questions about whether Instacart would be just another pandemic fad," CEO Fidji Simo told CNBC . Simo, who took the top role at the company in 2021 and launched the Instacart Health delivery service in 2022, has made health care a personal passion. "Patients often go through years-long diagnostic odysseys, bouncing around from specialist to specialist with no one looking at the whole picture," Simo wrote on her LinkedIn.

☆ Successful people have more 'productive paranoia' than most, says bestselling author Jim Collins—here's how to cultivate it
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-20 | by ( Ashton Jackson | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Highly successful people overcome them by having "prodigious amounts of productive paranoia," according to multi-time bestselling author and leadership expert Jim Collins. "The question is not if bad things will happen, it's when," Collins said last week at the 2023 World Business Forum summit. Sometimes, productive paranoia takes the shape of over-preparing for a presentation so you can anticipate every possible question your audience might ask. Constantly thinking about potential futures — both good and bad — is the type of productive paranoia that all professionals should have, Collins said.

China, the world's biggest fossil fuel consumer, is among those signalling that it intends to keep using them for decades. By inserting "unabated" before fossil fuels, the pledge targeted only fuels burned without emissions-capturing technology. "We cannot use it to green-light fossil fuel expansion," the countries said in a joint statement. We can't say we want to avoid 1.5 C ... and not say anything about phasing out fossil fuels," Cox said. The Alliance of Small Island States, whose members face climate-fuelled storms and land loss to rising seas, wants a fossil fuel phase-out and an end to the $7 trillion governments spend annually on subsidising fossil fuels.

): In a mixed verdict, a jury on Tuesday found Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and Kelly Meggs, another member of the far-right organization, guilty of seditious conspiracy in connection with U.S. Capitol riot. Tuesday’s Jan. 6 committee hearing provided the most comprehensive roadmap to date of how domestic extremist groups, specifically the Oath Keepers, were mobilized to the U.S. Capitol. Testimony and private messages released by the committee have supported evidence presented during the ongoing prosecution of 32 members and affiliates of the Oath Keepers of their role in the insurrection. In D.C., Oath Keepers provided security for VIP’s and Rhodes gave a speech to the crowd calling on Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act to remain in power. The Oath Keepers certainly achieved the former, but the latter is a different story.

Acești lideri au fost cândva principalii promotori ai integrării europene a Republicii Moldova, dar și-au schimbat poziția de trei ori...”Vreme trece, vreme vine... În astfel de circumstanțe, este evident c ă intervievatul prezintă pericolele la adresa Republicii Moldova prin prisma intereselor rusești. Din cele afirmate de candidatul BECS putem desprinde că acesta confundă pericolul la adresa bunăstării liderilor BECS cu pericolul la adresa Republicii Moldova.

Însă, pe când Vladimir Voronin era președinte al Republicii Moldova, în 2005, interesul era cu totul în altă parte. Așadar, liderul №1 al BECS, Vladimir Voronin, a pierdut azimutul și are de clarificat – unde sunt totuși interesele Republicii Moldova? În aceste circumstanțe, a meritat să reamintim publicului că, în 2005, anume Vladimir Voronin a reanimat GUUAM-ul semi-defunct, la fel precum Igor Dodon reanimează, în 2021, PCRM-ul semi-defunct. De exemplu, precum Vladimir Voronin regretă reanimarea GUUAM-ului, s-ar putea ca Igor Dodon să regrete reanimarea PCRM-ului.

Apărarea și promovarea acestor interese presupune o bătălie electorală necruțătoare între asimilatorii și contestatarii moștenirii lui Plahotniuc. Sarcina acestuia este să curețe Parlamentul pentru a putea duce la bun sfârșit scoaterea instituțiilor statului din captivitatea oligarhilor fugari și a moștenitorilor acestora.
