KYIV, Ukraine — The Russian missiles that tore through Kyiv during rush-hour Monday morning shattered windows, lives and a relative calm that had permeated the Ukrainian capital. That all changed suddenly, sending residents scrambling for shelters and bringing back painful memories of the early days of the war. Speaking in Ukrainian, Gudenko, 32, said she was woken up by the sound of the first three explosions over the city. Like Gudenko, residents across Kyiv were woken by blasts in several parts of the capital, including its center. It sent many seeking shelter into packed underground subway stations, with the streets largely empty for hours as authorities warned new attacks may be coming.

Human rights group Hengaw reported a heavy presence of armed security forces in the Kurdish cities of Sanandaj, Saqez and Divandareh on Monday. Activists said on social media that several people, including two teenagers, were killed by security forces in the province. Blaming the protests on Iran's foreign foes, authorities said "rioters" have killed at least 20 members of the security forces. In spite of a harsh crackdown by security forces, protesters across Iran have burned pictures of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, called for the downfall of the clerical establishment and chanted "Death to the Dictator". "Instead of dying every minute under this regime's repression, I prefer to die with their (security forces) bullets in protests for freedom."

Flack, one of thousands who decided to flout official evacuation orders and ride out Hurricane Ian, was not worried about her safety. Some 2.5 million coastal residents and others in danger zones around Tampa, Ft. Myers and nearby communities were ordered or encouraged to evacuate ahead of the massive storm. But many did not, with some simply vowing to ride it out and others unable to leave for financial or other reasons. In Venice, Doug Toe walked through rainfall on Wednesday morning to see how a friend's home was weathering the storm. Nearby, residents of an assisted living facility also decided to ride out the storm in a new building meant to withstand the most severe hurricanes.

☆ Jeff Bezos hired this Amazon applicant ‘on the spot’—here are the 2 interview questions he asked
  + stars: | 2021-11-02 | by ( Ann Hiatt | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
People always want to know how I got Jeff Bezos to take a chance and hire me to work directly for him at Amazon in 2002 . One interview took place in a dark office with just the glow of a code-filled monitor and a weird multicolored rotating nightlight in the corner. Bezos started the interview by promising that he was only going to ask two questions and that the first one would be a "fun" brainteaser. Knowing Bezos as well as I do now, I see why those were his only two questions. By the end of the interview, we both knew I would do anything to be successful, despite being a very junior candidate.
