And just when supply chains started to sort themselves out, inflation hit, and shoppers started to scale back spending. Retail CEOs need 'peripheral vision'Workers at Starbucks stores and Amazon warehouses across the country have pushed to unionize, with many calling out the pay disparity between front-line workers and top executives.

▼ + stars: | 2022-12-30 | by ( Kyle Smith | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +1 min

The historian Robert Caro says he has built his career exploring a single grand theme: “how political power really worked.” Not how it worked in theory, or how it was supposed to work. His subjects were two men who achieved and wielded power like few others: Robert Moses and Lyndon Johnson . Moses built Lincoln Center, the West Side Highway, the F.D.R. Drive, the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and many other vital pieces of the New York landscape; Johnson built the Great Society and led the U.S. into war in Vietnam. The engrossing documentary “Turn Every Page—The Adventures of Robert Caro and Robert Gottlieb ” gives equal attention to Mr. Caro and his editor, a figure of similar renown in the publishing field, Robert Gottlieb.

Avoiding "catastrophizing" and embracing empathy can retrain your brain to better handle stress. But when under pressure — real pressure, as he was the day he became president after John F. Kennedy was assassinated — Johnson assumed a near preternatural calm. Certain people seem designed to perform well under moments of intense pressure. Although stress is an essential tool for keeping the brain alert, too much has harmful consequences. Learning how to stay cool under pressure will make your life easier, because being constantly anxious and on edge isn't good for anyone.

▼ + stars: | 2019-08-07 | by ( Joe Yogerst | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +19 min

As the UK crowns a new monarch, we’re exploring all things royal, from castles to grand tours. “Castles are places were plots were hatched, marriages were consummated, murders carried out, royal babies born, and so on. With castles, you are never short of fascinating things to talk about.”Read on to find out more about 21 of the world’s most beautiful castles, fortified homes that are both a feast for the eyes and a time trip back to the bygone age during which they were created. Wolfgang Kaehler/LightRocket/LightRocket via Getty ImagesThis classic medieval castle towers above the island of Rhodes in the Aegean Sea. The castle’s vivid red-and-yellow color pattern – and its flashy clock tower – endow Pena with a much more playful air than the somber castles found elsewhere in Europe.

„După o lungă perioada de reflecție, am înțeles că eu nu sunt pentru politică și ea nu este pentru mine. Sunt de părere că un partid în opoziție are nevoie de cineva cu un alt profil și temperament și cu mai multă experiență în politică. În august 2014, firma soţiei ex-guvernatorului a obţinut un contract în valoare de 2,88 milioane de lei pentru servicii de organizare şi desfăşurare a Festivalului „Ziua Vinului 2014”. În noiembrie 2014, „Anodilia” SRL a câştigat licitaţia organizată de Ministerul Agriculturii şi Industriei Alimentare (MAIA) pentru servicii de elaborare a concepţiei şi realizarea regiei sărbătorii Ziua lucrătorului din agricultură şi industria prelucrătoare. Contractul, în valoare de 183 mii de lei, a revenit firmei familiei Drăguţanu în urma unei licitaţii la care a participat un singur agent economic, câştigătorul.
