☆ Opinion: ‘Hit Man’ does what ‘Double Indemnity’ couldn’t
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-07 | by ( Opinion Noah Berlatsky | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

“Hit Man” suggests that when backing away from misogyny, men, too, have more options, more happiness and more love. “Double Indemnity” turned the trope into an indelible archetype for the morally ambiguous world of film noir. Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray and Tom Powers are pictured in Billy Wilder's "Double Indemnity." The patriarchal world of “Double Indemnity” is as bleakly loveless for men as it is for women. “Hit Man,” and other contemporary noir films, in contrast, are trying to imagine a way out of the “Double Indemnity” double bind.

☆ Scientists explain why orcas keep ramming yachts
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-28 | by ( Grace Eliza Goodwin | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

But scientists now believe the orcas actually don't have malicious intent — they're just being silly. AdvertisementDespite the damage the orcas have done, scientists believe the orcas are not trying to be aggressive or destructive. But in the sea there's not much for the orcas to interact with, so they play with the rudders." Scientists believe young juvenile orcas, who tend to be more curious and exploratory, started the trend, which then spread through the population, according to the report. Scientists believe it's likely because the tuna population, the Iberian killer whales' primary food source, has dramatically increased in recent years, giving the orcas more time away from hunting, according to the report.

☆ Let's set the table for the second half by reflecting on this year's hated bull market
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-02 | by ( Jim Cramer | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +18 min

You don't get the best first-half Nasdaq rally in 40 years simply because the Federal Reserve did this, or the yield curve in the bond market did that. It was almost as if it was prosaic to seek profits, like, "How dare you defy the teachings of the yield curve, you foolish soon-to-be- broke apostate." It was the second move, the second week of March, that told the second tale of the first half: the fall of Silicon Valley Bank. Here we had an out-of-nowhere collapse of a well-known seemingly well-run bank that ran afoul, again, of the yield curve. No company could rival Club stocks Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft and Meta Platforms (META) — nice metamorphous there and Tesla , not a Club name.

☆ I see this year's budding stock rally signaling a different kind of bull market, one that's not so reliant on just a few stocks
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-29 | by ( Jim Cramer | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +11 min

This nascent bull market started with the peak in interest rates and the dollar back in the fall and then broadened to include bank and semiconductor stocks in 2023. That's right we created FANG a decade ago this week on "Mad Money," and it was a really good call — until it wasn't. The stability of a market that's based, in part, on the assumption of a JPMorgan (JPM) or an American Express or even a Boeing rallying on earnings, seems tidal to me. That's what's happening as we consider the market to be far bigger than any group of a half-dozen stocks. Yes, I am shredding the cynicism and heralding the new bull market, one that's not ignorant of what ails things, but is benignly rotational.

Dezvoltarea inovațiilor pentru o viață mai bunăLa finalul anului 2020, peste 12 milioane de fumători din 64 de țări au renunțat la țigări și au ales dispozitivele de încălzire a tutunului dezvoltate de Philip Morris International.

Autorizația a fost emisă de Administrația pentru Medicamente și Alimente din Statele Unite ale Americii, una din cele mai importante autorități din domeniul sănătății din lume. „Chiar dacă ne-am ciocnit cu numeroase provocări, au fost și câteva aspecte pozitive ca rezultat al adaptării la COVID-19. Iată de ce,compania a lansat serviciul CIRCLE, care continuă să câștige popularitate în rândul utilizatorilor de dispozitive electronice de încălzire a tutunului.
