That's the exact kind of anti-collaborative person who Sarah Paiji Yoo tries to steer clear from when hiring new employees. And I think that is a must-have for every team member that we bring on," Paiji Yoo, the CEO and co-founder of eco-friendly cleaning product startup Blueland, tells CNBC Make It. "Folks who understand that a different set of inputs, a lot of times, lead to a better outcome." But the primary goal is simple: bringing people together to solve problems and learn something new," Gardner added. They know something different that I don't, and I can learn a lot from them.'"

“The study tested whether or not reducing the amount of acid in our diet reduces the kidney disease- and heart disease-related complications of high blood pressure,” he said. “We’ve known this for a long time but it’s good to have less kidney disease added to the benefits,” she said. Eating more fruits and veggies promotes heart and kidney health, especially in people with hypertension, a new study found. Medication intervention is still an important part of managing blood pressure, kidney disease and heart disease, Wesson said. “A largely, but not necessarily exclusively, plant-based diet is demonstrably associated with overall good health, reduced chronic disease prevalence — kidney disease too — and premature mortality,” Nestle said.

A new study links intermittent fasting to a higher risk of early death instead of longevity. While there's not yet enough evidence to say intermittent fasting is risky, the findings suggest we may have a lot more to learn about whether it's good for our health in the long run. However, some rigorous studies on intermittent fasting have found mixed results: some suggest it's no better for you than other diets, and isn't worth the side effects like hunger. people who follow the 16:8 diet — would have a lower risk of dying during the study, and better heart health.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The defending NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles traded for two-time All-Pro safety Kevin Byard on Monday to help a banged-up secondary hours after beating the NFL's best offense, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press. The Eagles are sending the Tennessee Titans safety Terrell Edmunds and fifth and sixth-round draft picks in 2024, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the trade has not been announced. The Eagles limited Miami’s offense to season lows in points scored, total yards (244), passing yards (199), rushing yards (45) and time of possession (23:17). Reports of the trade came while Eagles coach Nick Sirianni talked to reporters and he said he couldn’t talk about those. Born in Philadelphia, Byard has started 111 of his 120 games and has not missed a game because of injury.

Like many other recent arrivals, Ms. Paluch said, she wanted to be part of the evolving city but was also acutely aware that the growth had raised housing prices. The state, unlike many others, does not require developers to include affordable housing in their projects.

Roundworms infect hundreds of millions of people globally, according to the Cleveland Clinic, but the researchers in Australia said this was the first report of the Ophidascaris worm species infecting a human. The woman may have been infected by the worm the same way small animals typically are: by accidentally consuming worm eggs. Carpet pythons were at a lake area near where the woman lived, the article said. She had no direct contact with the snakes but often gathered warrigal greens, which are similar to spinach, from around the lake to cook. The article said that she could have inadvertently consumed worm eggs by eating the greens or because her hands or her kitchen were contaminated by them.

There have been many changes at Meta and the RTO stance may cause more unrest, an expert told CNBC. Other tech firms that ordered staff to work in the office some or all of the time sparked backlash. AdvertisementAdvertisementMeta's stance on remote work shows it's talking tough, but given that other tech companies have faced a backlash over RTO directives, it's unlikely that Meta will have an easier ride. The new policy could be disruptive for Meta staff and affect trust within the company, according to one expert.

The latest twist in Meta's return-to-office saga doesn't reflect well on CEO Mark Zuckerberg, says a Harvard University expert. Meta established a widely encompassing remote-work policy in 2021, before announcing its intention to move toward a hybrid schedule in June. Employees can still apply for full-time remote status, the memo noted. "Leaders must make sure that they're practicing transparency, and that their actions match their words," Gardner says.

The chief prosecutor in St. Louis, who made history as the first Black woman to hold the post but faced widespread criticism for her handling of violent crime, said on Thursday that she would resign on June 1. The prosecutor, Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner, a Democrat, was facing an effort by Missouri’s attorney general, a Republican, to remove her from office. Her resignation means the governor, also a Republican, can appoint a replacement to serve as the lead prosecutor in an overwhelmingly Democratic city that has long struggled with high crime rates and disinvestment. In recent months, Attorney General Andrew Bailey accused Ms. Gardner of overseeing an office that failed at its most basic tasks, with warrant applications that went unreviewed for months and overburdened assistant prosecutors who sometimes failed to show up for court. Mr. Bailey said on Thursday that there was no reason for Ms. Gardner to stay until June, and that his office was “undeterred with our legal quest to forcibly remove her from office.”“Every day she remains puts the city of St. Louis in more danger,” said Mr. Bailey, who has asked a judge to remove her.

As Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg plans to let go of 10,000 more workers in his company's latest round of layoffs, a Harvard University expert says she "takes issue" with the way some of them are being conducted — namely, over email.

Jennifer Haynes, a former Meta technical recruiter, filmed herself checking her email and learning that she'd been laid off in real time.

This story has been updated to reflect that similar reports of recent layoffs though email have emerged from Amazon and Twitter.

RALEIGH, N.C. — Police believe the shooting rampage that left five dead in North Carolina’s capital city last week began when the 15-year-old suspect shot his older brother, according to a report released Thursday. The report said the teen had traveled nearly 2 miles from where his brother was found shot and stabbed. The report said officers gave repeated commands for the suspect to surrender and special officers worked to figure out his exact location. Based on the teen’s estimated direction of travel, police believe James Thompson was shot first, the report said. Police believe the teen shot Marcille Lynn Gardner, who was found wounded in the driveway, then fired at Nicole Connors, 52, who lived in the house.
