New York CNN —The Queen, better known as Beyoncé, had a dress code in mind for Renaissance tour concert goers attending her “House of Chrome,” as she described her concerts. Unprecedented salesAt a pivotal moment during each concert, Beyoncé flicks her wrist and pans out her black handheld fan. A group of fans pose for a portrait before entering Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour on Friday, Sept. 1, 2023 in Inglewood, CA. “I did not see them becoming my best seller, much less my by-far-best-seller, because of something as random as a concert tour,” Fritts said. That demand was quickly replaced with silver bedazzled shades earlier this month after Beyoncé’s silver announcement.

[1/3] Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, U.S., July 24, 2023. The dollar index's weekly winning streak was its longest since 2014, bolstered by recent data suggesting the U.S. economy is still resilient. Investors are waiting for the U.S. Consumer Price Index reading for August, due Wednesday, especially with oil prices rising. Dollar gains have also prompted a step up in rhetoric from Japanese policymakers growing uncomfortable with the yen's slide. In energy, oil prices rose to a nine-month high as U.S. diesel futures rose and as investors worried about tight oil supplies.

After being rushed in an ambulance to a hospital, the 15-month-old girl died from a fentanyl overdose. Political Cartoons View All 1148 ImagesIn California, where the Legislature has failed to pass such laws, prosecutors in at least three counties are turning to drunk driving laws to charge parents whose children die from fentanyl overdose. Last month, a Maine woman pleaded guilty to manslaughter after her 14-month-old son’s fentanyl overdose. Prosecutors say the parents, like drunk drivers, knew fentanyl can injure or kill people. The boyfriend and girlfriend were charged with murder after their toddler died of a fentanyl overdose in June 2020.

☆ CrowdStrike CEO talks generative AI, cybersecurity and new 'virtual security analyst'

George Kurtz, CEO of cybersecurity company CrowdStrike , spoke with CNBC's Jim Cramer on Wednesday about the company's focus on automation and the use of generative artificial intelligence to launch Charlotte AI, a "virtual security analyst." "Generative AI is a new type of artificial intelligence, and essentially Charlotte AI is our, is our virtual security analyst," Kurtz said. Kurtz explained that Charlotte AI can help automate the duties of a security operations center (SOC) analyst, or someone who deals with cybersecurity duties on a day-to-day basis. The program is intended to lessen mundane work that analysts perform, turning tasks that may have taken hours into ones that take only minutes, he said. According to Kurtz, analysts can have conversations with Charlotte AI and ask questions about security threats in the environment, how it applies to their industry, what assets are at risk, how to fix those assets — and even create a report about the situation.

"The world is rapidly evolving — and so is the college experience." Srivastava is one of a soaring number of Gen Zers who has decided to skip college altogether. The widening gap between the value and the cost of college has started to shift Gen Z's attitude toward higher education. They're not as interested in the typical "college experience" — whiling away four years rooming with friends and drinking at frat parties. But other members of Gen Z are taking a hard look at the "essence" of college.

Dan Hnatkovskyy says real-estate investors should analyze data to determine where to buy. The real-estate market might seem less attractive at a time when mortgage rates are elevated and home prices also remain high. Another way they get insight is by tracking NewHomesMate website activity to see where buyers and smaller investors are looking. On the other hand, since interest rates began to increase, investor interest decreased in that area. Additionally, higher property prices and elevated interest rates are making smaller and simpler homes more attractive, mainly in rural or suburban areas.

As she’s despairing, a large tech company writes with a strange offer: Collaborate on a poem with Charlotte, an A.I. It’s a loud topic, but Michaels’s novel is quiet and thoughtful. Instead of a cliché “man versus machine” struggle, “Do You Remember Being Born?” is an investigation of language and legacies both artistic and familial. “I’m a human being, a thinking human being, and this is a stack of mindless algorithms,” she says after testing out Charlotte.

Apps such as Somryst — known as prescription digital therapeutics — aim to raise the bar for personal healthcare delivered via smartphone. Digital therapeutics show promise for treating IBS and insomniaFunding for digital therapeutics surged by 133% between 2020 and 2021, and the sector's global value is estimated to grow from roughly $7 billion to about $28 billion from now to 2030, Fortune Business Insights reported. In fact, many insurance companies want years of data on real-world use before covering digital therapeutics, Insider previously reported. While there are free nonprescription DTxs available from sources such as the Department of Veterans Affairs, those aren't cleared by the FDA, and privately made prescription digital therapeutics often cost hundreds of dollars. "Digital therapeutics are meant to increase access to care.

Missouri and Texas A&M were the first teams to join the SEC in 20 years. Financial benefits and concerns about conference stability lured Boston College to become the A.C.C.’s 12th member in 2005. Penn State, one of the last major programs to remain independent, became the Big Ten’s 11th member in 1993, setting off a wave of realignment across college football. The Missouri Valley Conference stopped sponsoring football after the 1985 season. Arkansas departed for the SEC in 1991, signaling the beginning of the end for the Southwest Conference, long associated with N.C.A.A.

RALEIGH, N.C. – The 2024 election promises to feature several major battlegrounds, but for sheer breadth of competitive contests, North Carolina next year will be hard to beat. Recent presidential contests in North Carolina have been close: In 2020, Donald Trump won North Carolina by about 74,000 votes out of more than 5.5 million cast. In other words, in 2024, North Carolina will be one of the centers of the political universe – important in part because it’s a uniquely competitive state. “North Carolina has proved to be a purple state, but not necessarily a swing state,” says Cooper, the political scientist. For the better part of two decades, Georgia, like North Carolina, had voted consistently Republican in key federal races – until 2020.

At that point, the National Hurricane Center flagged the possibility of a storm surge covering much of Cape Coral and Fort Myers. Parts of Fort Myers Beach had a 40 percent chance of a six-foot-high storm surge, according to the surge forecasts.

☆ Market reactions to Powell speech
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-25 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +8 min

"It is the Fed's job to bring inflation down to our 2% goal, and we will do so," Powell said. "August has been a difficult month for the market, so it is hungry for news that will help reverse the trend. Investors are hanging on to every word, but the main takeaway is that Powell signaled that the Fed would raise rates if needed. Rather than last year's short but brutal speech, Powell opted for a longer and calmer speech. KARL SCHAMOTTA, CHIEF MARKET STRATEGIST, CORPAY, TORONTO"On balance, this is a modestly less hawkish speech than markets had feared.

Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz speaks to the media after casting his ballot on the day of Israel's general election outside a polling station in Rosh Ha'ayin, Israel November 1, 2022. REUTERS/Nir Elias/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsAMSTERDAM, Aug 25 (Reuters) - The Dutch supreme court ruled on Friday that two Israeli former military commanders, including ex-defence minister Benny Gantz, are immune from civil prosecution in the Netherlands in a case brought over the deaths of six Palestinians in an Israeli air strike. In the suit, Ziada sought unspecified damages against Gantz under Dutch universal jurisdiction rules, which allows countries to prosecute serious offences committed elsewhere. Sixty-seven Israeli soldiers and six civilians in Israel also died, according to Israeli military and health officials.

Samantha then asks to be put on speaker phone to pay her respects to the place. The call ends with Samantha still 3,500 miles away. Throughout the seasons, men and bistros came and went, most often within a single 22-minute episode. Each of the characters had an archetype to inhabit: flighty Carrie, career-minded Miranda, marriage-minded Charlotte, libertine Samantha. Samantha was a caricature of licentiousness, but Cattrall’s enthusiasm for the role — the husky voice, the double-dare-you smile, the symphony of sex noises — made her irreplaceable.
