And some conservative personalities are calling out the company's new video ad for being too "woke." But that "exuberant modernism," particularly in the company's video ad, is being mocked by some people online. AdvertisementJaguar's new video ad features models in colorful, modern clothing, and doesn't show any cars. (Current Jaguar models left in their inventories will be sold as pre-owned, a company spokesperson previously told Business Insider.) Jaguar's new brand strategy was created by its own in-house design team, not an external agency, according to the UK's Creative Review.

I'm skeptical of listings with photos that use wide-angle lenses to make spaces look bigger. A never-ending vacation may sound relaxing but it means I'm always looking for my next accommodation and hoping it's good.

China is installing wind and solar power projects faster than any other country on the planet. It’s not that China is using less energy — it’s using more than ever — but it’s just adding wind and solar power to its grid at an astonishing pace. The country is constructing two-thirds — nearly 339 gigawatts — of the world’s utility-scale solar and wind projects. That is in addition to the 758 gigawatts of wind and solar capacity it has already built, according to the Global Energy Monitor. Wind and solar are now capable of generating 37% of the country’s power, according to Global Energy Monitor, already displacing coal’s dominance.

Extraordinary circumstances have degraded 40% of global land iStockCertain places around the world are already experiencing this at an accelerated rate. And that’s just one state; at present rates, land degradation threatens half of the global GDP. The Economics of Land Degradation also estimated that each dollar invested into land restoration will return up to $30 in value. The threat of land degradation is a shared burden. And a decade after the Changwon Initiative was launched, it has successfully defined Land Degradation Neutrality, enabling 129 countries to align with its principles and work towards zero land degradation.

Racial disparities persist, she added; for Black people, the preterm birth rate is 1.5 times higher than the rate among all other babies. Many of the regions with high preterm birth rates are maternity care deserts, Williams said. The US cities with high preterm birth rates also are “areas where there are many chronic conditions and patients living with a greater number of things like hypertension, diabetes, obesity – those are all drivers of preterm birth as well,” Williams said. “Every pregnant woman who lives in a maternal health care desert should be provided with access to a health care app that is monitored by remote providers.

Nadhmi al-Nasr, the long-time chief executive of the $500 billion NEOM mega-project at the heart of Saudi Arabia’s drive to diversify away from oil, has departed, NEOM said on Tuesday without giving a reason. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has poured hundreds of billions of dollars into development projects through the kingdom’s PIF sovereign wealth fund. Saudi Arabia, the world’s top oil exporter, is still heavily reliant on hydrocarbon revenues, and low oil prices and production have hit state coffers. He has been the head of the PIF’s Local Real Estate Division since 2018 and has a deep understanding of NEOM and its projects, NEOM said. In his role at PIF, Al-Mudaifer oversees all local real estate investments and infrastructure projects, and he is a board member of several prominent companies in the kingdom.
