Insider spoke to an Amazon delivery driver who asked to remain anonymous to protect his job. I started working part time as a driver for Amazon in 2019 after seeing an online classified ad. Amazon preaches safety, safety, safety, and while that's a great narrative for the media, behind the scenes it's another story. I've never been in a wreck, but these types of instances can drag a driver's score down, and the bottom line is everything comes down to your score. Amazon prides itself on getting driver safety under control, but then puts demands in place that force us to circumvent the system.

Dresorii au intervenit prompt, astfel că nimeni nu a fost rănit. Comitetul de anchetă a început să facă verificări preliminare pentru a stabili de ce angajaţii circului au lăsat animalele să se manifeste cu o asemenea agresivitate. În timpul spectacolului, unul dintre elefanţi a început să-l lovească pe celălalt cu trompa, înainte de a încerca să părăsească scena, potrivit unei înregistrări video difuzate de agenţia de ştiri locală Tatarinform. Spectatorii din primele rânduri şi-au părăsit locurile şi au urcat în gradene de teamă că animalele îi vor ataca.

Un studiu din 2020 publicat pe una dintre cele mai vechi reviste medicale din Marea Britanie, BMJ.com, arată că dietele populare pur și simplu nu funcționează. Dietele au fost grupate în următoarele trei categorii: cu conținut scăzut de carbohidrați; cu conținut scăzut de grăsimi; cu conținut moderat de macronutrienți. Un alt studiu din 2018 a arătat că mai mult de jumătate din greutatea pierdută a fost recâștigată în decurs de 2 ani, iar la o distanță de 5 ani, mai mult de 80% din greutatea pierdută a fost recâștigată. Dimpotrivă, dietele creează o relație restrictivă și o asociere negativă cu mâncarea, iar mulți dintre cei care aleg să se depriveze de mâncare ajung să înrăutățească, de fapt, problema. Trebuie să identifici ce funcționează cel mai bine pentru tine și să găsești echilibru în structura mesei”, a declarat specialista pentru Healthline.com.

Motivul: Harry, a cărui mamă, prinţesa Diana, a murit urmărită de paparazzi în 1997 la Paris, a avansat presiunea mediatică. Harry şi Meghan s-au instalat de atunci în California şi au semnat contracte cu netflix şi Spotify pentru a produce filme şi a realiza podcasturi. Cuplul s-a angajat în mai multe proceduri judiciare contra tabloidelor acuzate că le încalcă viaţa privată.

Residents and businesses were victims of the riots that broke out in 2020 after George Floyd ’s murder. On Friday Seattle settled for $3.65 million with locals who sued after the police abandoned the city’s East Precinct to mayhem. The notorious Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, really an urban anarchy zone, operated from June 8 to July 1, 2020. Then-Mayor Jenny Durkan called it a “summer of love,” and last week the Seattle Times still insisted it was “mostly peaceful.” Yet the occupiers declared a no-cop zone, and Seattle restored control only after two murders and multiple shootings.
