People used to strive simply to live as long as possible, but in recent years, that goal has taken on a new dimension: How long can you live in good health? Some of these destinations begin with high-tech medical assessments like genetic and cancer screenings, as well as cardiac and cognitive tests. Many provide “biohacking” treatments involving infrared saunas, cryotherapy chambers, IVs and blood work, while others focus on more holistic ways to nurture the body and mind. Some experts have expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of biohacking treatments on life span and suggest setting your expectations before committing to a program. “The good part of the longevity trend is that people are more aware of optimal health and that they can influence the quality and quantity of their life,” said Dr. Kenneth R. Pelletier, author of “Change Your Genes, Change Your Life.” “But taking supplements and having blood transfusions, for example, are not a promise of extended longevity.”

New York CNN —Former President Donald Trump doesn’t have the cash he needs to stop the state of New York from potentially seizing his assets. In a court filing Monday, Trump’s lawyers laid out the stark economic reality facing the leading Republican candidate for president. Trump’s lawyers, for their part, say the ruling is unprecedented and underwriters don’t write checks that big — even to billionaires. What could happen to Trump’s properties?

In the aftermath of that storm, safety experts offered advice on how people can stay safe if they are stuck in their vehicles. First, do not leave your car, experts said. If you run out of water, drink melted snow, Dr. Mitchell said. Drive slowly to avoid skidding, and note that it takes longer to decelerate in icy road conditions, according to AAA. Drivers should inspect tires monthly and before long trips, according to guidance issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Some are sentenced to hard labor and forced to work – or face punishment – and are sometimes paid pennies an hour or nothing at all. While prison labor seeps into the supply chains of some companies through third-party suppliers without them knowing, others buy direct. The AP reached out for comment to the companies it identified as having connections to prison labor, but most did not respond. Corrections officials and other proponents note that not all work is forced and that prison jobs save taxpayers money. They also aren’t learning skills that will help them when they are released,” said law professor Andrea Armstrong, an expert on prison labor at Loyola University New Orleans.

For instance, the U.S. has blocked shipments of cotton coming from China, a top manufacturer of popular clothing brands, because it was produced by forced or prison labor. While prison labor seeps into the supply chains of some companies through third-party suppliers without them knowing, others buy direct. Cargill acknowledged buying goods from prison farms in Tennessee, Arkansas and Ohio, saying they constituted only a small fraction of the company’s overall volume. For instance, about a dozen state prison farms, including operations in Texas, Virginia, Kentucky and Montana, have sold more than $60 million worth of cattle since 2018. “What for?”FOLLOWING THE MONEYThe business of prison labor is so vast and convoluted that tracing the money can be challenging.

☆ The first step you need to take when changing careers—it's the 'best thing' to do, says Yale expert
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-17 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

If you've ever thought about quitting your job and exploring a new path, now is a great time to switch careers. Businesses typically refresh their hiring budgets at the start of the year, meaning there are more job opportunities to explore, and with travel slowing down after the holidays, more people are unencumbered and willing to network, making it easier to strike up meaningful connections. Conversations with close friends won't yield the most valuable insights, says Lipman, who is also the bestselling author of "NEXT! "You can post a networking request on LinkedIn or Instagram, or if you have a list of industries you're interested in, you can text people and just say, 'Hey! I'm looking to transition careers, and am interested in learning more about working in tech (or whatever the industry is), do you know anyone I can chat with?'"

Scientists and military officials established a secret city in Los Alamos during the 1940s and tested their work at the Trinity Site some 200 miles (322 kilometers) away. While the lore surrounding the atomic bomb has become pop culture fodder, it was part of a painful reality for residents who lived downwind of Trinity Site.

That's partly why so few quantitative trading firms reside in California, whose labor-friendly laws have long favored employee mobility and competition. Exhibit A: The Voleon Group, a prominent quantitative-trading firm based in Berkeley, California, that manages about $5 billion in assets. The hedge fund has bulldozed past state prohibitions to not just impose noncompetes, but impose some of the harshest noncompetes in the entire industry, according to seven former employees, industry experts, and documents detailing the firm's restrictive covenants. Like so many other quant-trading firms, Voleon took care to protect its edge. Other employees Insider spoke with have a less generous view, with several describing the company as stingy — a third ex-employee bemoaned the company as "notoriously cheap" on compensation.
