Before the Oscar nomination, before the sweatshirts and the mojo dojo casa house, it took some convincing to get Ryan Gosling to say "I'm Just Ken." In a recent profile in Variety, Gosling said he passed on the film when it was brought to him. And I would call months later to my agents or something and say, 'Hey, who did they get to play Ken?' Margot Robbie, who in addition to playing the titular Barbie also produced the film, pulled out all the stops to land her perfect co-star. On top of a reported salary of $12.5 million, it was an out-of-the-box offer from Robbie that put Gosling over the edge.

For individuals who are seeking happiness, the answer is pretty simple and may also be of some use to businesses as well. 1 thing people can do to feel happier, Santos says "it would be engaging in social connection." "And my earliest love was ice cream. This prompted Bunn to think about how she could "use ice cream as a tool to bring people together" with a heightened focus on fostering "connection and imagination." So how can businesses similar to the Museum of Ice Cream tap into the happiness booster that is social connection?

CNN —Researchers have cracked one of the mysteries hidden within a Roman egg, discovering that it still contains its liquid almost two millennia after it was first laid. Pottery and other finds uncovered alongside the egg were dated to the late 3rd century AD, allowing archaeologists to estimate its age too, Biddulph added. A woven basket, thought to have contained bread, was found alongside the eggs. A micro-CT scan of the egg showed it still had liquid inside. “Nobody has seen anything like this before so every stage of the research into this is creating new moments of amazing potential,” he said.

If Bill Gates met a time traveler from the year 2100, his first question wouldn't be about his family, or Microsoft's stock price. "In the end, it's all measured through human welfare," Gates said on the most recent episode of his podcast, "Unconfuse Me." Gates asked Ritchie for her "top questions" to ask a time traveler from the future. The answer would reveal quite a bit about poverty rates in the future, and whether "we have made progress on health, agriculture, poverty," Ritchie said. But upon reflection, despite his personal interests in energy and AI, Gates changed his mind and aligned his response more closely with Ritchie's question.

Move over Disney World, there's a new celebration destination for one of this year's Super Bowl hopefuls. Indeed, Chiefs quarterback and reigning Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes made clear that he expects his team to be focused on the game instead of the temptations of Sin City. If the Chiefs come out on top and help Mahomes earn his third ring, the 28-year-old said he'll make sure the team gets to experience Vegas properly. It's an expensive proposition — the Chiefs' full Super Bowl roster is 53 players — but Mahomes can afford it. Last Christmas, he gifted each member of the Chiefs offensive line electric golf carts customized with their name and number.

Maroon uses four key diet principles to boost his health and longevity. AdvertisementAn 83-year-old doctor and triathlete who transformed his health in his 40s shared the diet principles he believes have helped him to live a long, healthy life . Artificial trans fats are made when vegetable oil is hydrogenated. They were commonly found in packaged, ultra-processed foods until the Food and Drugs Administration declared trans fats unsafe to eat in 2015. The FDA gave food manufacturers three years to remove trans fats from their products, so most foods no longer contain them.

As a live-in childcare provider, I became the fly on the wall with front seats for parenting styles and techniques of all types. Parents omitting behavioral issues in the interview stage was my biggest bugbearDuring the interview, parents are trying to find the best mutual pairing for their child and a nanny. But some parents don't understand that. I'm unsure whether they became so detached that they didn't realize how hands-off they've become or if they truly didn't care. We live-in nannies quickly grow to care about your children and only want the best for them.

"The biggest mistake couples make is not owning what's going on," she says. But, it'll save you lots of money and time if you simply cut out the middle man, Wasser says. Couples will often use lawyers to hash out tedious requests, most of which don't require any legal expertise. The average price of an uncontested divorce is between $1,500 and $5,500, according to reporting by CNBC. "I'm not saying divorce lawyers are evil people," she says.

The difference between landing a job offer or a rejection can come down to how well you adjust to a fast-paced environment and interact with your colleagues. Communication is the top skill companies are hiring for right now, while adaptability is a soft skill that's "increasingly in demand" across a wide range of industries, according to new research from LinkedIn. Employers want to hire people who can quickly adapt to these ongoing changes, says LinkedIn vice president Aneesh Raman. "Adaptability is the best way to have agency right now," he notes in the report. "At its core, communication is essential for connecting, inspiring, building trust and getting work done effectively," she adds.

It is a gleaming vision of a world just beyond the present: a world in which meat is abundant and affordable with almost no cost to the environment. Meat without killing is the central promise of what’s come to be known as cultivated meat. Between 2016 and 2022, investors poured almost $3 billion into cultivated meat and seafood companies. Two of the leading companies — Eat Just and Upside Foods, both startups — reportedly achieved billion-dollar valuations. And today, a few products that include cultivated cells have been approved for sale in Singapore, the United States and Israel.

Carolyn Kaster/AP/FileUS national security officials have to weigh whether publicly calling attention to disinformation might inadvertently amplify the very message they’re trying to bat down. In both scenarios, federal officials favored a muted public response, largely choosing to let state and local governments take the lead. State and local officials run elections and are more trusted voices in their communities, but how can federal officials act decisively to support them? “It’s a trick box,” said Adam Hickey, who worked on election security issues for the Justice Department’s National Security Division. “[W]e prioritize tabletop exercises that integrate the range of cyber, physical, and operational threats election officials may encounter,” Conley said in a statement to CNN.

Emotional intelligence, which is the capacity to understand and control our emotions, as well as being sensitive to others' feelings, nurtures our relationships and boosts our empathy. With higher emotional intelligence, you're also better equipped to grasp and empathize with the emotions of others, fostering deeper, more fulfilling relationships. Here's how my emotional intelligence has grown since I've gotten older:1. I feel more compassion for othersAs I age, I've softened ... and not just around my belly. I'm able to positively reappraise negative experiences, like getting stuck in traffic in an Uber (interpretation: great chance to meditate).

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States faces heightened risk from Russia, which is trying to acquire goods with military applications, the U.S. Treasury Department said in fresh National Risk Assessments on Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing, and Proliferation Financing released on Wednesday. The United States also faces heightened risk from North Korea, the Treasury Department said, as networks linked to Pyongyang increasingly exploit the digital economy, including through hacking virtual asset service providers. The report includes ways Hamas exploits the international financial system, including through solicitation of funds from witting and unwitting donors, the Treasury Department said. The United States has sought to cut off funding for the group after its deadly attack on Israel in October. The proliferation of domestic violent extremist movements also pose more threats to the United States, the department said.

The report would be the most detailed disclosure yet by the US government of the hackers’ stealthy techniques, one aimed at helping private owners of critical infrastructure spot the Chinese hackers in their networks. The hackers’ presence in critical US networks has sparked a monthslong effort by US national security officials to kick the hackers out. The report, which US officials are set to release this week, makes clear that the Chinese hackers’ activity began much earlier than previously known, with the hackers scoping and accessing IT systems years ago. The Beijing-backed hackers have been probing systems that control heating, cooling and water, access that, if exploited, could allow them to manipulate those systems and cause “significant infrastructure failures,” the report says. Canada’s cybersecurity agency “assesses that the direct threat to Canada’s critical infrastructure” from the Chinese hackers “is likely lower” than that to US infrastructure, but that Canada would still likely still be affected by a disruption to US infrastructure due to “cross-border integration,” the document says.

It's important to be prepared for a job interview, but there's such a thing as being over-prepared, too. Then, check sites like Glassdoor to hear from previous candidates what questions were asked during the hiring process. "That way when you're in an interview, you're focused on answering the question instead of going off of some pre-rehearsed script." Costa says candidates should also avoid one major mistake that can be "an easy strike" against you as a candidate, especially for a competitive job.

No till farming minimises soil disturbance, which helps keep carbon in the soil and also enriches soil biodiversity, reducing the need for chemical fertilisers that emit greenhouse. Zimbabwe is one of the countries worst affected by the El Nino weather pattern and struggles to feed itself. Zimbabwe produced 2.3 million tons of maize last year. The country requires 2.2 million tons of the staple grain annually for human and livestock consumption. "This is a reflection that farmers are adopting the recommended climate-proofing interventions, especially during the El Nino condition," cabinet said in a statement released late on Tuesday.

To this day, those two rules might be the best parenting advice I have ever received, delivered to me by a 5-year-old, passed down through at least three generations of her family. While not "expert," advice from family or friends offers something intangible and underestimated: it naturally comes from a place of vested interest in both parent and child. AdvertisementFor instance, when a parenting expert posts a reel detailing how to de-escalate a tantrum, she may be sitting in a cheerfully lit, clean space with no background noise. Whereas family members or close friends may try to ease FUD, parenting experts may try to capitalize on it. With this in mind we may do well to take expert parenting advice the way we should take all advice, with a grain of salt and a healthy dose of skepticism about the motivations of the person doling it out.

But while the US enjoys overwhelming military superiority over the Houthis, defeating this tribal movement would be a nightmare. Case in point: Egypt tried to suppress the Houthis in the 1960s. Today's Houthis are attacking ships in the Red Sea – and hurling ballistic missiles at Israel – ostensibly in response to Israel's military operations in Gaza. Indeed the rebellion eased Israel's lightning victory in the 1967 Six-Day War, a fact that the Houthis have chosen not to publicize.
