Read previewThis as-told-to essay is based on a transcribed conversation with Rachel Hoobing, a 50-year-old electrician in San Francisco. I found it very stressful and decided to leave in May 2012 and apply for an electrician apprenticeship. In 2015, I got my electrical trainee card, which meant I could do some non-union work as an electrician. I applied for an electrical apprenticeship with a union in 2016, when I was 43, and started the following year. AdvertisementI work for a union as an electricianI became a union electrician at the end of my five-year apprenticeship in 2021.

Read previewThe Houthis' unprecedented July 19 drone attack against Tel Aviv from Yemen caught Israelis by surprise, piercing the country's battle-tested defenses and exposing vulnerabilities that the Yemen-based rebels were ready and willing to exploit. "This confirms that technology alone, even for one of the most advanced air defense systems in the world, is not enough to provide effective protection," Borsari said. "Firstly, the advanced Houthi drone was launched for the first time, following an atypical flight path that likely caught the Israelis off guard," Khoueiry told BI. Houthi Media Center via Getty Images'A more cunning approach'Following the deadly attack, the Israeli military promptly increased air patrols to protect Israeli airspace. "This means integrating low-tier air defense capabilities at scale, combining different types of effectors with an eye on cost-effectiveness," Borsari said.

Cash has poured into money market funds since the Federal Reserve began its rate hiking cycle. Short-term debt has been a popular investment over the past few years, and money market funds are a top example. For perspective, there was roughly $4 trillion in total money market funds as of the fourth quarter of 2019, according to the St. Louis Fed . Money market funds hold very short-term debt, and many currently offer a yield above 5%. "Historically, you don't tend to see money market inflows stop or convert to outflows until you get below say 3% on those rates.

Along with its S24 series of smartphones, foldable devices, smartwatches and now the Galaxy Ring, Samsung is hoping to lock users into its world of products held together with its suite of artificial intelligence features, known as Galaxy AI. Arjun KharpalOne of the things Samsung said was look, the ring is one product, but we've got the watch, we've got the smartphone. I think that's the right approach for Samsung, I don't think they have unrealistic expectations for volumes on this. And you'd feel like if there was some sort of Apple ring, it would do pretty good volumes. Do you think Samsung is seriously looking at ways to monetize this via subscriptions or other kinds of service business model?

I want to retire early, so I asked a financial planner what mistakes I should watch out for. In an effort to get on track, I chatted with certified public accountant and certified financial planner Ryan Nelson about the most common mistakes people make when they attempt to retire early. He advised people to proactively calculate the cost of health insurance during early retirement before reaching Medicare age, which is currently 65. "Look into private marketplace options, whether individual health insurance plans, health sharing ministries, or short-term health insurance plans to see how much these could cost." Not maximizing health savings account contributionsFor those planning to retire early, Nelson also recommend that they maximize their health savings account contributions.

What men say, on the other hand, isn't at all telling. "This relationship is completely explained by drug reviews written by females; reviews written by males have no explanatory power." In their analysis, women tended to be more articulate and detailed in their drug reviews and experience, while men were vaguer. One 2023 study looking at Yelp reviews found that the persuasiveness of reviews by gender depended on product category. Other research, however, suggests that even for areas stereotypically seen as being in women's realm, women's reviews aren't perceived as more valuable than men's.

In his Sunday column , Jim Cramer wrote that these earnings reports will test that rotation narrative. Another way to help "take the sting away" is management teams providing a rationale behind the spending, Jim also wrote Sunday. Alphabet's second-quarter capex of $13.2 billion was up 91% year over year and higher sequentially from $12 billion in the first quarter. Alphabet's full-year capex spending is expected to total nearly $50 billion, according to estimates compiled by FactSet. Investors fretting about AI spending is not entirely new.

The latest lawsuit against AT&T was filed Monday in California state court. Judge Stanley Bastian, the judge overseeing the T-Mobile case, ruled it could move forward after the company sought to have the lawsuit dismissed. It could affect the fate of future cases, including the lawsuit filed against AT&T on Monday, legal experts said. Goldberg, one of the lead attorneys behind both the T-Mobile and the new AT&T case. "And presumably that will induce the phone companies to innovate on their safety and privacy protections for consumers at their stores."

When my son was 4 years old in March 2020, we started lying with him to help him get to sleep. We'd curl up together in his crimson-red fire truck bed and talk about anything and everything. "Mommy, when you're an old granny, I'll tell my kids you were a wonderful mommy," he whispered to me one night. Melissa Noble and her husband cuddle with their kids before bed each night. We tried a few techniques half-heartedly, like having a consistent bedtime routine and weaning our support, but it never really worked.

My sons, Taylor and Tyler, started playing video games when they were 5 and 6. I had never heard of esports — or competitive video gaming — but at an open house, Taylor introduced me to the coach. Because of that, video gaming can now open up opportunities for students the same way traditional sports can, he said. Courtesy of Sherry WilliamsI was convinced, but I still had the rule that the boys couldn't play video games during the week. I even use the streaming platform Twitch to watch games that Taylor has played as if they're real sporting events.

Every year, nearly 10,000 electricians either retire or change careers, but only about 7,000 new ones enter the field. "We're benefitting from a generation that's looking past high school and is not seeing a career going through the traditional four-year college pathway. Contributing to that shift are high school guidance counselors like Steve Schneider, who has advised students for 28 years, currently at Sheboygan South High School in Wisconsin. It offers high school students hands-on training alongside workers from local companies, introducing them to skilled trades and other occupations, which can lead to an apprenticeship after graduation. Among LATTC's 12,000 students, 4,600 are currently enrolled in electrician training, he said, adding that tuition is around $1,000 a year.
