The Texas couple were staring down more than $100,000 in debt, much of which they had poured into WiFi Money. Those who give their money to WiFi Money are often encouraged to sign up other people in return for a cut of their profits — and perhaps, one day, a chance to become part of the WiFi Money crew. As the money poured in, WiFi Money gained a patina of mainstream credibility. AdvertisementThrough WiFi Money, Moeller and Frederick had created a virtuous cycle of money and influence. The same month investors took WiFi Money to court over the stores, DBC announced it was closing down.

Soon, dozens more students protesting the monthslong assault on Gaza were arrested at New York and Yale universities. Ash told CNN he was one of 20 students arrested following a sit-in on November 8. The charges were later dropped, according to the Brown Daily Herald, but 41 students arrested the following month in similar circumstances still face charges, which protesters now want dropped. Separately, the referendum on the BDS resolution “did not move forward because of potential conflict with federal and state laws,” the university told CNN in a statement. Police then were aggressive, Agrawal told CNN.

Both are adding glamping resorts to their booking channels, where their members can earn and redeem points. Interest in high-end camping has remained strong since its boom during the COVID-19 pandemic. No word yet on whether it will include the high-end hotel brand's 12 other luxury camping resorts. But the addition of these glamping resorts to its booking channels isn't Hyatt's first venture into glamping. Alongside the Caribbean property's existing traditional hotel, Hyatt plans to deploy modular tiny-home-sized hotel room units directly on the beach.

We decided to bring our toddler, which meant the trip wasn't a typical relaxing babymoon. We made small tweaks to ensure a good time, and I cherished our last trip as a family of three. So when I was pregnant with my second daughter in 2023, I knew I wanted to go on a babymoon. I was excited to expand our family, but wanted to fixate my attention on my older daughter while I could. Emily Hochberg/Business InsiderStill, I'm glad we took a babymoon with our toddler.

☆ How Whitney Wolfe Herd's fateful deal with a Russian mogul deprived early Bumble employees of a stock windfall when she became a billionaire

I'm fucking done," she told a reporter at Time, who described Wolfe Herd as "blinking back tears" during the interview. "My hands are tied," Wolfe Herd told the audience, according to several people who were in the room. Wolfe Herd once called him her biggest mentor, saying, "He's become my family and one of my best friends." Some early employees said they only found out about the shadow-equity program, and who received it, years later. Based on the current share price, Wolfe Herd is no longer a billionaire, though her fortune still sits at an estimated $627 million.

☆ Meet Frank Waln, the Sicangu Lakota hip hop artist bringing Indigenous culture to the American music scene

Sicangu Lakota rapper Frank Waln is bringing Indigenous culture to the American music scene. Weaving Indigenous culture into American musicWaln was 7 years old when he found himself mesmerized by an old black piano sitting in his second grade classroom. He centers nearly every song around the instrument, and often the drums, both fundamental components of Indigenous music. “I want to create my own genre that’s rooted in Native music, Native culture and Native sound, that also becomes a space for other Native musicians who don’t have a place in American entertainment and music culture,” he said. Deanna Dent/ReutersDespite his extensive accomplishments – including three Native American Music Awards – Waln measures his success differently.

MEXICO CITY, Oct 24 (Reuters) - At least three people died from destruction caused by intense rainfall unleashed by Storm Roslyn, which provoked flooding along Mexico's Pacific coast when it made landfall as a powerful hurricane on Sunday. Local civil protection officials confirmed that two women died as their homes collapsed in the town of Rosamorada in Nayarit. State authorities added that a 74-year-old man died some 25 miles (40 km) away in Santiago Ixcuintla, when a beam fell on his head. National power company CFE said on Monday it had restored power to 71% of around 180,000 users affected across Nayarit, Jalisco and Sinaloa states, along Mexico's hurricane-prone Pacific coast. The storm also sidestepped the major beach resort of Puerto Vallarta in Jalisco state, though it still generated strong winds and flooding in the area.

Potrivit procurorilor, medicul nu cerea o anumită sumă de bani, dar era nemulțumit dacă suma primită era mică, așa cum rezultă din înregistrările de la dosar. „De pildă, în data de 11 iunie, medicul, după ce primește un plic de bani de la un bărbat care părăsește biroul, poartă cu voce tare următorul monolog. Păi da... moșu, doar n-ai vrea moșu... moșu trăiește.... mă așteptară 6. Mă așteptară 6!”, potrivit interceptărilor, citate de ziarul PandurulMedicul avea un ritual, în fiecare zi spunând cu voce tare o rugăciune în cabinetul său. „Doamne, Maica Domnului, dă-mi sănătate, bani mulți, bine lui A.... ferește-mă de boală, ferește-mă de procurori”, au mai arătat procurorii.

Asociația Polițiștilor „Pro Motus” va acționa în judecată MAIAsociația Polițiștilor „Pro Motus” va acționa în judecată Ministerul Afcerilor Interne pentru faptul că nu ar plăti orele suplimentare lucrate de polițiști, ci le-ar propune în loc zile libere pentru munca peste program. Potrivit apărătorului, se încalcă flagrant drepturile polițiștilor și unele prevederi ale Codului Muncii. Andrei Don, președintele Asociației Polițiștilor „Pro Motus”, a menționat că este discriminatorie decizia de a nu mai aloca indemnizații unice de 16 mii de lei polițiștilor care s-au infectat de COVID-19 la locul de muncă, în timp ce lucrătorilor medicali această alocație li se plătește. Potrivit lui Andrei Don, 35 la sută dintre angajații poliției au fost infectați cu virusul SARS-CoV-2 la locul de muncă. Andrei Starîi, membru al Asociației „Pro Motus”, a spus că ministrul Pavel Voicu le-a propus polițiștilor care lucrează ore suplimentare să își ia în schimb zile libere, dar aceasta vine în contradicție cu prevederile Codului Muncii.

Partidul Acţiune şi Solidaritate vrea să modifice Constituţia, astfel încât deputaţii implicaţi în scheme de corupere pasivă, spălare a banilor, trafic de influenţă, dar şi alte ilegalităţi, să fie lipsiţi de imunitate. Atâta timp cât funcţionarul nu poate să-şi justifice avearea, aceasta trebuie confiscată", a spus Sergiu Litvinenco candidat pe lista PAS. Cât priveşte a doua iniţiativă, Litvinenco a declarat că: "Pentru infracţiunile de spălare a banilor, corupere pasivă, trafic de influenţă şi îmbogăţire ilicită, imunitatea să nu fie aplicabilă parlamentarilor. Deputaţii trebuie, într-adevăr protejaţi. Asta însă, nu trebuie să constituie un paravan, pentru a lua mită şi a îndeplini alte acţiuni ilegale".
