☆ Boeing had a tough 24 hours, but with CEO Kelly Ortberg's turnaround plan, analysts remain hopeful
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-24 | by ( Pete Syme | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

CEO Kelly Ortberg has vowed to turn around the company and laid out a four-point plan. CEO Kelly Ortberg vowed to "return Boeing to its former legacy" and said the company would focus on changing its culture. However, restoring the traditional defined-benefit pension plan — replaced with a 401(k) in 2014 negotiations — has been a key issue for many on the picket lines. Bank of America analysts estimated that restoring this pension plan would cost up to $400 million annually. Boeing's production has been limited as it faces supply-chain constraints and renewed scrutiny from regulators in the wake of January's Alaska Airlines blowout.

AdvertisementNorway wants to stop children under 15 from using social media, proposing one of the world's toughest bans. The Scandinavian nation already restricts social media more than most, with a ban for under-13s. The Norwegian prime minister, Jonas Gahr Støre, told the Norwegian tabloid VG that new regulation would indeed be "an uphill battle." The Norwegian Media Authority in August estimated that 53% of nine-year-olds, 58% of 10-year-olds, and 72% of 11-year-olds use social media. Anglero said it's common for Oslo families to use social media, whether to coordinate children's sports teams or just to chat.

Jerry Lee, a former Google manager, said the company graded candidates on four attributes. He said Googleyness requires a set of soft skills that is objective. While at Google, I interviewed several potential new hires and ranked them based on "Googleyness."

With decent pay from the corporate role, I'd saved around £6,000, around $7,800, to live on as I tried to build a career as a writer. But when I told them I'd quit, I could see the shock on their faces. Would I have quit my job if "Brat" hadn't been released?

Now that I'm older, I'm learning to accept my body. But after 25 years of regular gym time, I'm finally OK with not looking like an Adonis. My primary health goal was to look good naked. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way that "look good naked" can translate to "voluntary starvation."

☆ Novo Nordisk's diabetes drug Ozempic may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease, study says

Novo Nordisk 's blockbuster diabetes drug Ozempic may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, suggesting its potential to delay or prevent the memory-robbing condition, according to a study released Thursday. Alzheimer's disease is often diagnosed in the mild dementia stage, when a person has significant trouble with memory and thinking. But the number of Alzheimer's patients is projected to rise to almost 13 million in the U.S. by 2050. Novo Nordisk, which did not fund the new Case Western study, is also examining semaglutide in a late-stage study on Alzheimer's patients. In the liraglutide research, data from a midstage trial found that the drug may slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease by protecting patients' brains.

Stellantis, in return, has filed a lawsuit accusing the union of violating the contract with its strike authorization votes.

The U.S. Transportation Department announced a $50 million fine Wednesday against American Airlines over allegations it mistreated passengers with disabilities, which the department said in some cases caused injuries. “They repeatedly failed to provide prompt wheelchair assistance, and they damaged thousands of passengers’ wheelchairs, which left passengers without the device they need to live their life fully,” he said. American Airlines may not be alone in violations of laws that protect travelers with disabilities. Buttigieg said there are investigations into other airlines, although he said that “American Airlines appear to be one of the worst offenders.”“The problems that we have uncovered in our investigation are not confined to one airline,” Buttigieg said. American said last year that it transported more than 146,000 wheelchairs and other mobility devices.
