I've been to Las Vegas over 50 times and want others to enjoy Sin City as much as I do. I've been visiting Las Vegas for over 20 years. Wendy LeeWith over 50 visits to Las Vegas under my belt, I consider myself an expert in all things Sin City.

Higher valuations, a mixed macro outlook, and policy uncertainty raise the risk of further declines for stocks. Yet, odds of a bear market are low amid a strong private sector and coming rate cuts, Goldman Sachs says. AdvertisementMacro and policy uncertainty have raised warning signs for further volatility for stocks in recent weeks, but the risk of a steeper correction into bear market territory looks remote, Goldman Sachs analysts said. According to the bank, there's an elevated risk that investors pullback amid lofty valuations, a mixed macro outlook, and policy uncertainty. The firm's outlook comes as indexes have been rattled in recent months by volatility stemming from weaker-than-expected macro data.

Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates has spent the past couple decades warning the general public about ominous issues, from upcoming "climate disasters" to devastating cyberattacks. "A lot of unrest" in today's world could spark "a major war," he tells CNBC Make It. And even "if we avoid a big war ... then, yes, there will be another pandemic, most likely in the next 25 years." "The country that the world expected to lead and be the model fell short of those expectations," Gates says, referring to the United States. While some progress has been made, with increased spending on pandemic preparedness in the U.S. and elsewhere, Gates says the global response hasn't yet been enough.

☆ Women will soon be notified about their breast density after a mammogram. Here’s what that means
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-09 | by ( Jacqueline Howard | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +11 min

“The second reason that breast density is important is because having dense breast tissue raises a woman’s level of risk of developing breast cancer,” Feigin said. Breast cancer survivor JoAnn Pushkin, 64, has advocated for more than a decade that there be a national requirement for women to be notified of their breast density. Now I have lymphedema, and all because it was detected at that later stage,” said Pushkin, who has testified before the FDA about breast density and co-created the website DenseBreast-info.org, which features resources on breast density. The new FDA changes require facilities to provide patients with information about their breast density and include specific language in the mammogram result letter to explain how breast density can influence the accuracy of a mammogram. A study published in 2022 found that the breast cancer death rate dropped by 43% within three decades, from 1989 to 2020, translating to 460,000 fewer breast cancer deaths during that time.

During my three-day visit in August, I stayed at a tiny home by Tiny Away for one night. AdvertisementLaunched by a Singaporean tiny home startup called Big Tiny in May 2023, Tiny Away features five tiny houses that measure around 139 square feet each — or slightly smaller than an average parking space. Tiny Away is currently the only option for those who want to try tiny house living without going abroad. For one, there's a glamping resort on Lazarus Island that offers stays for a similar price to Tiny Away. But Tiny Away strikes me as ideal for guests looking for some solitude or a chance to experience the city-state minus all the high rises.

CNN: What exactly are PFAS chemicals? They are in nonstick surfaces; they’re used in firefighting foams, protecting packages from grease, and waterproofing of carpets and your clothing. Because of the structure of these chemicals, they’re able to have these (nonstick, water-repellent and temperature-regulating) properties. Water is a common route of exposure — drinking water from your municipal water sources in your home are contaminated with PFAS chemicals. There are new ones being created all the time, so we don’t even know all the potential PFAS chemicals that are out there.

Massimo Di Vita | Mondadori Portfolio | Getty ImagesThe European Union needs up to 800 billion euros ($884 billion) in additional investment per year to meet its key competitiveness and climate targets, according to a report from economist and politician Mario Draghi. The bloc's goals of bolstering its geopolitical relevance, social equality and decarbonization are being threatened by weak economic growth and productivity compared with the U.S. and China, the report states. The EU is meanwhile suffering an "innovation deficit" which must be tackled through reforms to research and development funding and policy, the report states. To fast-track policymaking, the report proposes limiting the voting items that require support from an absolute majority of member states. Funding questionPublic and private investments are being hindered by the size of the EU budget, its lack of focus and its risk aversion, the Draghi report says.

It's a good idea to find out about the restaurant's dress code in advance. "You might live in an area where the attire is more casual and shorts are acceptable, but that may not be acceptable in some higher-end restaurants," she said. To avoid this faux pas, she recommends finding out the dress code in advance to ensure you're appropriately dressed. Swann said looking up the restaurant's social-media pages can give diners an idea of what appropriate attire may look like. She added that it can help to look at the restaurant's hashtags to see what other people who have dined there have worn.

☆ Fossils show that massive pterosaurs could fly millions of years ago

The newly discovered fossils preserved 3D structures within the delicate wing bones, which typically are found flattened like pancakes within rock layers. CT scans of the fossils provided a rare glimpse inside the wing bones belonging to two species of pterosaurs, including one new to science. These are not unlike those found in the wing bones of modern birds that flap their wings to fly, Rosenbach said. In contrast, spiral ridges within Arambourgiania’s wing bones resembled the interiors of vulture wing bones, which are thought to resist the forces associated with soaring. “They represent the largest animals with the capacity to fly,” Rosenbach said of the extinct reptiles.

☆ Many pickup trucks must be redesigned to reduce pedestrian deaths under proposed regulation

CNN —The U.S. government’s road safety agency wants the auto industry to design new vehicles including increasingly large SUVs and pickup trucks so they reduce pedestrian deaths and injuries. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Monday that it’s proposing a new rule setting testing and performance requirements to minimize the risk of pedestrian head injuries. The rule is aimed largely at SUVs and pickup trucks, which have grown in size and hood height over the years, causing blind spots for drivers. NHTSA said pedestrian deaths increased 57% from 2013 to 2022, from 4,779 to 7,522. Data show that pedestrian deaths when hit by the front of a vehicle are most common for SUVs and trucks.
