Eric Adams hired Alex Spiro — also Elon Musk's lawyer — to represent him in his criminal case. But taxpayers aren't paying for the criminal defense bills, a city spokesperson said. AdvertisementNew York City taxpayers aren't on the hook for the legal bill in Eric Adams' federal bribery case, a spokesperson for the mayor confirmed to Business Insider. For that case, Spiro was billing the city for his work — though reportedly charging only $250 per hour instead of the $2,025 per hour rate he's charged other clients. But New York City's coffers aren't being emptied for Spiro's work in the criminal case against Adams, according to Fabien Levy, the city's deputy mayor for communications.

I traveled by train in four European countries using a Eurail pass in October 2022. I preferred the experience of country hopping by train to flying to each place. I formed this opinion in October 2022, when I spent two weeks backpacking through Europe with a Eurail pass. Eurail passes grant travelers unlimited access to most European trains for a set number of days. Some trains only require a Eurail pass, while others, including overnight trains, incur an additional, discounted price.

She started a print-on-demand shop, using Canva software to create designs for Etsy-friendly products like T-shirts and candles. Last year, Odio-Sutton opened a second Etsy shop — selling downloadable event materials, like sign-up sheets and schedule templates — that's brought in $17,200 in sales so far in 2024. I'll batch design 10 candle labels one day, then make the listings for them on Etsy the next day. I follow what I'd call a template method: I do a lot of black-and-white designs, a lot of plain text. Then, if I have a template that sells really well, I'll just go in and swap in new words.

But some tech analysts contend people are most interested in truly wearable tech, like Orion. Quest is limiting because of its bulk — and Orion AR glasses are an improvement, the analysts said.

Meta's Quest, pictured in May, doesn't have as much potential as its new Orion glasses, some analysts say.

She spent three years trying to earn back his trust and forgiveness but it didn't work. Grohl said, "I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness." I spent three years trying to do that and it cost me entire sense of self until I finally forgave myself. The dramatic weight loss at least offered another way to maybe earn forgiveness because he had always liked thin girls. I'd wake up panicking that I'd cheated again without meaning to.

But by the end of the day, his net worth jumped by $17 billion to $201 billion, the index reported, calling it his third-biggest daily increase ever. That market, which accounted for 31% of total revenue last year, is dominated by China. Hong Kong’s benchmark Hang Seng index has added just over 12% so far this week, while mainland China’s blue-chip CSI300 has gained more than 15%. However, experts urged investors to be cautious as officials must still come up with ways of stabilizing the property market, which once accounted for as much as 30% of economic activity. It began to cool in 2019 and fell into a deep trough about two years later, after a government-led clampdown on developers’ borrowing.

Spitznagel thinks they should focus instead on lagging drivers that could spur a sharp stock downturn. Advertisement"Black Swan" investor Mark Spitznagel thinks that the stock market's streak of record highs is distracting from a more jarring reality that could come by year-end. In a recent interview with Bloomberg TV, he said investors are currently enjoying a market that's in a "Goldilocks zone." "When the yield curve disinverts and then unverts, the clock starts ticking and that's when you enter black swan territory," Spitznagel told Bloomberg. He has warned of a stock market crash since January 2023, and back in July, he said the market's yearslong rally has become the "greatest bubble in human history," and its bursting would make for a recession.
