The Trust portfolio is what we use for the CNBC Investing Club. Back in April 2018, Trump ruled then-Twitter — now X and under the ownership of Trump efficiency czar Elon Musk . It was labeled "Trump stock" and a professional announcer, the deep-voice guy we used to use all of the time at the network, recorded it. I pushed the button whenever I was sure that a stock could somehow do well under the first Trump administration. There was no "Trump Stock," "Trump Stock" button pressing for Amazon that day.

Although Tarr’s ambition may have been to meet women, the success of Operation Match ironically kept him too busy to date. In fact, while Operation Match was a hugely influential moment in dating history, it wasn’t the first known online dating service. That honor goes to Joan Ball, a woman from the UK who started the St. James Computer Dating Service, later Com-Pat (get it?). Her program made its first match in 1964, a year before Operation Match went online. Operation Match was an inspiration for Dateline in the seventies and eighties, before big business computer dating began in 1995 with the birth of Match.com.

☆ Jeff Bezos is a 'brilliant man' for what he's done at Whole Foods, says ex-CEO: 'He thinks really long term'

In the eyes of Whole Foods co-founder John Mackey, Jeff Bezos is a "brilliant man" — all because of a few price cuts at the grocery chain. Whole Foods was struggling with declining sales when Bezos' Amazon bought the grocery chain for $13.7 billion in 2017. Shoppers were already looking elsewhere after larger, less expensive rivals like Walmart started stocking more organic foods to appeal to Whole Foods' target customers. That included producing a greater number of products from Whole Foods' in-house 365 brand, which Amazon also started selling online. "I hardly ever hear the 'whole paycheck' narrative any longer—that's due to Amazon," Mackey said.

The restructuring, which is likely to be completed in the first half of 2024, is expected to save nearly $75 million annually, Textron said. Textron's plan would result in a pre-tax special charge of $115 million to $135 million in the fourth quarter. The parent of Cessna business jets said charges related to restructuring and impairment would not impact its full-year financial outlook.

CNN —The heads of most animals are easily identifiable, but scientists haven’t been able to say the same for sea stars until now. But new genetic research suggests the opposite — that sea stars are largely heads that lack torsos or tails and likely lost those features evolutionarily over time. There, they go through a process that transforms a bilateral body into a star shape, or pentaradial body. But echinoderms also share a common ancestor with bilateral animals, which adds to the puzzle researchers are trying to solve. Specific molecular markers act like body plan blueprints, directing each cell to the body region where it belongs.
