AdvertisementIn October 2023, Claire Christensen gave birth to her first child in Copenhagen, Denmark, before checking into a "maternity hotel." The hotel — located in Hvidovre Hospital's maternity ward — allows mothers and their new baby to stay overnight for up to 48 hours after giving birth at no cost, a hospital spokesperson told Business Insider. New mothers in the UK are usually sent home between six and 24 hours after giving birth if they don't require additional care, according to NHS Inform. "Obviously, I was a bit nervous about giving birth in a different country, and I'm not fully fluent yet," she added. After giving birth, Christensen said she and her husband spent two nights and three days in a private room, which had two beds, a crib, and an en-suite shower and bathroom.

René Benko’s company Signa is filing for insolvency, casting uncertainty over a property empire that includes a stake in upscale British retailer Selfridges. Photo: georg hochmuth/Agence France-Presse/Getty ImagesThe property slump sweeping the globe has claimed a new high-profile victim: René Benko, an Austrian-born retail and department-store magnate who also co-owns New York’s Chrysler Building. Benko’s main holding company, Signa Holding, said Wednesday it is filing for insolvency in Austria. The move, similar to U.S. bankruptcy procedure, puts billions of dollars of company debt at risk and casts uncertainty over a property empire that includes stakes in the largest department store chains in Europe, upscale British retailer Selfridges and a now-stalled Hamburg tower that would have been among the tallest in Germany.

When Credit Suisse’s board met to approve the bank’s forced sale to UBS in March, paintings of every bank chairman since 1856 lined the boardroom. A lawyer from Zurich, Urs Rohner , was the last to get a portrait. Chairman between 2011 and 2021, he wasn’t there in person that day. But his tenure loomed over the proceedings. He had helped turn one of Switzerland’s most solid institutions into a tinderbox.

☆ Love your leftovers — the best way to reheat your favorite foods

Here are my strategies for reheating meals that taste just as good the second (or third) time around and eating every single portion of everything I cook. Turning to the microwave is often the first response when reheating leftovers, but it's not always the method that will give the most optimal results for most foods. These ovens can reheat food without waiting to preheat, and many offer convection, air frying or one-touch pizza options. What foods work best for microwave reheating? Foods that have a main liquid component, such as soups and stews, are a natural fit for microwave reheating.

The first data on births since Roe v. Wade was overturned shows how much abortion bans have had their intended effect: Births increased in every state with a ban, an analysis of the data shows. Until now, studies have shown that many women in states with bans have ended their pregnancies anyway, by traveling to other states or ordering pills online. What they have been unable to show is how many women have not done so, and carried their pregnancies to term. “The importance of our results is when you take away access, it can affect fertility,” said Daniel Dench, an economist at Georgia Tech and an author of the paper with Mayra Pineda-Torres of Georgia Tech and Caitlin Myers of Middlebury College. “When you make it harder, women can’t always get out of states to obtain abortion.”

☆ These 3 ‘extreme’ parenting tactics actually work, says expert who interviewed 70 parents of highly successful adults

That's according to parenting expert Margot Machol Bisnow, who interviewed the parents of 70 highly accomplished adults for her 2022 book, "Raising an Entrepreneur: How to Help Your Children Achieve Their Dreams." "Every single one of these 'extreme' things the parents are doing is they're listening to their child. In contrast, the parents Bisnow interviewed displayed enough open-mindedness and trust to help their children develop independence, confidence and skills that proved useful for their future careers, she says. "What's sort of sad to me is, this shouldn't be extreme parenting," says Bisnow. Here are three examples of "extreme" parenting decisions that actually worked, according to Bisnow and the parents she interviewed.

Switzerland wanted its big banks to be fortresses. In practice, the country’s “too big to fail” banking laws made a sand castle of Credit Suisse. The Swiss rules in question have become an object lesson in the difficulties of designing financial regulation. Created to prevent a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis bailouts, Switzerland’s customized version of international capital requirements laid the groundwork for the biggest bank rescue since.

“India’s Daughters,” the special newsletter series that I created with my colleagues Emily Schmall and Shalini Venugopal Bhagat, premiered last week. There will be a new chapter on Friday, and you can catch up with the first installment here if you missed it. Longtime readers will probably guess that “Pride and Prejudice,” by Jane Austen, is at the top of my decompress-and-disconnect list. As someone who isn’t a particularly fervent fan of even real tennis matches, I find fictional ones pleasantly untaxing.

In the 12 months after the Dobbs decision in June 2022, there were on average 82,298 abortions a month, compared with 82,115 in the two months before Dobbs, WeCount found. The new data, released Tuesday, included 83 percent of known providers, and researchers estimated the remainder based on historical trends and abortion data from states. The report does not include abortions outside the U.S. medical system — such as ordering abortion pills from abroad or traveling across the border. The biggest increases in legal abortions occurred in states that border those with bans, suggesting that many patients traveled across state lines. In Florida, which bars abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy but is surrounded by states with stricter bans, abortions were up 28 percent, to 7,705.

Their shares have, however, given up gains since going public, muddying the outlook for the IPO market. As of Tuesday's close, Instacart shares were 10% below their IPO price. The company had disclosed a 21% jump in revenue to 1.12 billion euros ($1.19 billion) for the nine-month period ended June 30.

REUTERS/Fabrizio Bensch/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNEW YORK, Oct 10 (Reuters) - German premium footwear maker Birkenstock Holding (BIRK.N) priced its U.S. initial public offering (IPO) at the middle of its indicated price range at $46 per share, the company said on Tuesday. While shares of Arm and Klaviyo still trade above their IPO price, Instacart's stock is now worth less than its IPO value. Birkenstock was founded in 1774 in the German village of Langen-Bergheim by Johannes Birkenstock and his younger brother Johann Adam Birkenstock, who were both shoemakers. After the IPO, L Catterton will hold an 82.8% stake in Birkenstock and control a majority of the combined voting power of its outstanding shares. Birkenstock's shares will start trading on Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker "BIRK".

Birkenstock would end up raising $1.58 billion at the top of the range. While shares of Arm and Klaviyo still trade above their IPO price, Instacart's stock is now worth less than its IPO value.

To leave less to chance, Birkenstock launched the roadshow for its IPO last week with some investors lined up.
