Advertising meme account @digital_chadvertising had decidedly humble beginnings on its way to becoming a popular outlet for industry workers to voice their frustrations, connect with each other and share marketing news. @digital_chadvertising has since gained nearly 80,000 followers on Instagram while mocking everything from industry acronyms to Twitter’s recent advertiser exodus. That does not match the Instagram followings of the leading ad trade publications, but it tops those of large ad-agency networks and other industry accounts. Some prefer formats and platforms that don’t fit the strict definition of a meme but still use the meme world’s sardonic tone to target an industry niche. “The line is so thin between meme and work with my specific niche,” said @digital_chadvertising.

High-functioning depression is a colloquial term and not a technical clinical diagnosis, explains Rheeda Walker, Ph.D., psychologist and leading researcher on suicide in the Black community. Persistent depressive disorder is another official diagnosis that, for some patients, may include high-functioning depression, Walker says. But she also stresses that because high-functioning depression is not a technical diagnosis, she’s hesitant to say they’re the same. But a 2021 study indicates the Black suicide rate is likely higher than documented because the manner of death is often misclassified. If you’re concerned about a loved one attempting suicide, Walker notes that anxiety is “as strong a predictor” as depression.

☆ The drop in the pound is sending UK rate expectations to 6% in 2023 - and that means a spike of 73% for some mortgage payments, economist says

Expectations are rising that the UK's benchmark rate will reach 6% in 2023 on the back of the pound's slide. That could mean monthly payments for some refinanced mortgages could jump by 73% to nearly £1,500 in the first half of next year, said Pantheon Macroeconomics's chief UK economist. In dollar terms Monday, monthly payments could rise to $1,593 from $923. A 2-year fixed rate mortgage is the shortest-term offered in the UK for a fixed home loan, according to product comparison website Money.co.uk. The UK's central bank has raised the benchmark interest rate to 2.25% in seven hikes since December to control inflation.

Молодое поколение придумало новый способ имитации богатства без высоких денежных затрат. Согласно исследованию, проведенному финансовой компанией Money.co.uk, самыми востребованными товарами на сайте интернет-магазина eBay являются коробки от дорогих часов и дизайнерской обуви, а также бумажные пакеты именитых брендов. Так, например, стоимость чехла компании Rolex составляет 160 фунтов стерлингов, а упаковки Nike — 55 фунтов стерлингов. В то же время бумажные пакеты модного дома Louis Vuitton и ювелирного производителя Tiffany в среднем продаются на сайтах ретейлеров за 74 и 51 фунт стерлингов соответственно. Известно, что в марте 2021 года блогеры принялись создавать дешевые версии сумок Louis Vuitton с помощью брендированного пакета: юзеры помещали его в прозрачный пластик такой же формы, затем прикручивали к конструкции кожаные ручки.

Deşi metroul londonez cu aburi a fost inaugurat primul, în 1863, Budapesta revendică primul metrou electric de pe continent. Designerul construcţiei liniei de metrou a fost firma germană Siemens & Halske.

În ciuda diferitelor adversităţi care erau imprevizibile atunci când a fost planificat proiectul de pionierat, metroul a fost finalizat la timp. Muzeul subteran Millennium a fost deschis publicului din 1975, iar în 1996, la 100 de ani de la lansarea metroului - pe lângă întreaga linie de metrou -, muzeul însuşi a fost reînnoit.
