☆ The total solar eclipse will create an optical illusion known as the Purkinje effect. Here’s how to see it
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-04 | by ( Taylor Nicioli | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

The phenomenon, now known as the Purkinje effect, explains why colors look different depending on how much light is present. Usually, the Purkinje effect unfolds slowly as day gives way to night. “What we’re seeing with the Purkinje effect isn’t actually happening. To see the Purkinje effect, people will have to take off their eclipse glasses, but they should do so only when looking at their surroundings, Rylander said. … The Purkinje effect is visible if you look at objects around you during occlusion, not at the sun,” Rylander said in an email.

The motive of such campaigns, Innes said, is to “destabilize” Russia’s Western antagonists and “undermine trust” in their institutions. The pattern of behavior was one his team recognized from a group of Russian actors his team had studied before. It is a commercial firm contracted to run disinformation campaigns, Innes said. Aaron Chown/Press Association/APMeta said it disrupted the group, but its disinformation campaigns have since grown more sophisticated. The timing of the Kate conspiracies was also propitious for the Kremlin – coming just as Putin secured a fifth term in power in a stage-managed election devoid of credible opposition.

Read previewAn appellate court decision reducing former President Donald Trump's bond to $175 million was a win for the former president — and certainly a rare one, according to legal experts. But the former president was tossed a last-minute lifeline Monday when an appeals court ordered a whopping 62% reduction in the size of the bond. AdvertisementIn that time, he's only heard of roughly a couple dozen instances when a New York appeals court reduced an appeal bond — and those involved far lower judgments. While the lowered bond buys Trump time, he'll still owe the entire sum if he loses on appeal. As part of Monday's decision, Trump is required to file a full appeal argument in time for the court's September 2024 session.

A tourbillon (French for "whirlwind") is a centuries-old mechanism built inside some of the world's most expensive watches. Today, collectors consider tourbillon watches works of fine art. Tourbillon watches' complex design, combined with their limited production, contributes to their exclusivity and high price tags. On the lower end, you may find some entry-level tourbillon watches for $30,000. However, most tourbillon watches from reputable brands range from $100,000 to several million dollars.

☆ Out of options, Trump will pay $500M cash bond to appeal his NY fraud case, experts predict. Not paying will hurt even more.

Trump must stow $500M cash in a bank to cover the appeal bond for his NY fraud case, experts say. His next appeal bond will cost him far more. By posting another appeal bond. Similar to the more familiar jail bond, an appeal bond is a promise of payment that's backed by collateral, meaning cash or property. The premium on a half-billion-dollar appeal bond could run anywhere from $250,000 to north of one million dollars, just to purchase the bond, experts guestimated.

☆ How America’s once great department stores became a dying breed
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-27 | by ( Chris Isidore | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +12 min

But department stores, focused on America’s middle class, are fading. The victims of shifting consumer tastes were not the department stores that anchored the local mall, it was the small, locally owned stores along downtown shopping districts that were closing their doors. And possibly even more than the big box competitors, department stores have suffered from consumers shifting to buying items online rather than in person. The steady closing of the department stores that once served as “anchors” of malls across suburban America has been another nail in the coffin of many malls, hurting the department stores that remained in hollowed-out malls with a fraction of their earlier traffic. Saunders said one of the primary problem for Macy’s is that its holding company, formerly known as Federated Department Stores, spent much of its resources on buying other department store brands, such May’s Department Stores, and Filene’s, rather than investing in the stores its held.

This article is part of "Business Travel Playbook," a series about making the most of work travel. During a business trip, employees are away from their families, their normal routines are disrupted, and they typically log in longer hours, which can be stressful. She said employers could ease the burden of business travel by allowing employees to take time off after a business trip to recover. Whether a work trip includes commuting to a nearby city or traveling to another country, business travel can be tiring. "It's important to be realistic about how much work travel you can endure and how much work you can realistically complete if your job requires frequent travel," Norfus said.

Supreme Court conservatives are accelerating their moves to overhaul the way the federal government protects Americans, whether from air pollution or unfair financial practices. The case has determined a swath of court judgments on agency policy, well beyond the environmental realms, and become one of the most cited rulings in Supreme Court history. The Corner Post is protesting a Federal Reserve rule adopted in 2011 that caps debit card fees merchants obtain with every transaction. Three Republican-led states and power industry groups turned to the high court, seeking immediate relief and asking that any implementation be barred. Kagan focused on the multiple preliminary issues that lower court judges would have typically assessed before the case reached the justices.

Somehow, the same issue plaguing last year’s failed banks is back in focus at the latest bank in crisis: massive loads of uninsured deposits. To be sure, the risk isn’t anywhere close to that of the banks that failed last year: About 94% of domestic deposits at Silicon Valley Bank were uninsured and 90% of Signature Bank’s deposits were uninsured, according to the Federal Reserve. The money is guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which is funded by fees paid by major US banks. About 40% of all money in the US, or $8 trillion, sitting in banks is uninsured, said Lawrence White, a professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business. “It also risks violating the FDIC’s statutory requirement to resolve failed banks and protect insured depositors in the least expensive way possible.”Sometimes, he said, rescuing those uninsured depositors may be the cheapest way to protect insured depositors at banks.

I once visited a domestic violence shelter in New England. It had three bedrooms and a shared kitchen and bath, beige walls and furniture and a single kitchen table that required eating in shifts. In exchange, traumatized families were given temporary housing with other traumatized families behind walls and gates, often with shared bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms. As a result, this guiding philosophy of secrecy as safety is drawing scrutiny from advocates, policymakers and survivors. Calls for what are termed open or public shelters appear to be on the rise.
