According to one California-based study, the professions that saw the highest excess-death rates in 2020 all required in-person work: transportation-and-logistics workers, food-and-agriculture workers, and manufacturing workers. These influencers also noticed that sharing behind-the-scenes work content got engagement. Natasha Badger, a customer-marketing associate at LinkedIn, also sparked heated discussion with TikTok day-in-the-life vlogs set in LinkedIn's Chicago offices. For some, the profusion of social content about work perks and struggles is getting in the way of actual work. Despite the skepticism he's encountered on his job search, Space said his TikTok account has been worth it.

CNN —A week after she obliterated the 1500m short-course record, Katie Ledecky broke another – this time in the 800m as she stormed to victory at the FINA World Cup in Indianapolis.

Ledecky almost broke this record last week when she completed the 1500m in record time with a split time of 8:00.58, a second off world-record pace. “I pushed myself a lot after last week,” Ledecky said, according to FINA’s, the sport’s world governing body, website.

Now retired after three decades with the Los Angeles Police Department, Michael Connelly’s long-running series protagonist Harry Bosch no longer bothers to cultivate a friendly image: “He actually enjoyed being the cranky old ex-cop in the neighborhood whom people were afraid to approach.”Bosch lives in a house overlooking the San Fernando Valley and enjoys a good relationship with his daughter, Maddie, herself a police officer. He has mostly made peace with his departure from the force, but there is one unclosed case “he hated to leave on the table”: the murder of the entire Gallagher family—father, mother, daughter, son—all killed by nail gun in 2013 and buried in the Mojave Desert.

A proposed bill that calls for dietary supplement manufacturers to list their products with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is being misconstrued online by users who claim it will give the FDA new power to approve or ban supplements. The FDA can take action to remove dangerous or illegal supplements from the market, but it cannot approve or ban products before they are marketed. “Currently, dietary supplement companies are not required to provide this information to FDA, leaving the agency - and consumers writ large - without vital information needed to ensure safety and transparency into the dietary supplement marketplace.”VERDICTMissing context. The proposed bill would require dietary supplement manufacturers to report information about their products to the FDA. It would not give the FDA a new power to approve or ban products before they are marketed.

CNN —New England Patriots starting quarterback Mac Jones was benched mid-game in his team’s 33-14 home defeat to the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. Jones had missed the past three games with a high ankle sprain but finally returned to the starting line-up to face the Bears. A New England Patriots fan holds a sign during the game against the Bears. In a style change from previous weeks, the Bears coaching staff implemented more designed runs for Fields to utilize his dynamism and keep the Patriots defense off-kilter. “I think that creates an issue sometimes for the defense, depending on what defense they’re in,” Eberflus said.

☆ Ilia Malinin: The American teenage ice skating phenomenon making history

CNN —American teenager Ilia Malinin landed the second ever quadruple axel in competition on Saturday without so much as a wobble. Malinin had become the first person ever to complete a quadruple axel in competition last month during the US International Figure Skating Classic, a lower-level event. But still, he was unsure whether to incorporate figure skating’s most difficult move into his free skate routine at Skate America. Meanwhile, reigning Olympic champion Nathan Chen has successfully landed every other type of quadruple jump except for the axel. And so, when Malinin – the junior world champion – landed a jump that had eluded so many before him, it marked a remarkable moment in figure skating history.
