☆ My mom had me and my brother in her 20s. When she wanted to have another kid in her 40s, we boycotted her idea.

She decided to test the waters about having another kid in her 40s and brought our niece over. My mom ended up not having a third child, and I feel a little bit guilty about it. Or maybe she looked at my brother and me and thought, these two turned out great — why not try for a third? Either way, I'll never forget the day she decided to test the waters of motherhood again, using our young niece, Amber, as what can only be described as a trial run. Instead of cranky teenagers, we started to act like a family again — having family dinners together instead of hiding in our rooms and even hanging out with Mom in public.

☆ The simple 4-part filter that a legacy fund has used to beat the S&P 500 for over 2 decades

Those who threw in the towel might be licking their wounds as growth stocks continue to outperform value dramatically. Instead, it builds a simple filter based on backtested factors dating decades to determine the key variables that have worked over time, says Ryan Kelley, CIO of the fund. For the Hennessy Cornerstone Mid Cap 30 Fund, that filter has been boiled down to a four-step process used for 21 years. "We absolutely just let the numbers dictate what we own, and it takes some discipline and it takes some trust in the process," Kelley said. By the time the filter process is complete, thousands of US stocks have been filtered down to about 125 to 150, which is still too much.

PEACHAM, Vt. — The last thing John and Jenny Mackenzie saw as they fled their Vermont home with their daughters, dog and two guinea pigs last summer was their cars upended and propelled away by rushing flood waters. “It was just like it was a horror movie at that point,” John Mackenzie said of the surreal scene on that July 10 night. “We lost both of our vehicles, our home and our barn and at least half of our possessions,” Jenny Mackenzie said. Donations from friends, family and others in their community have helped the Mackenzies find a new house in time for Thanksgiving, giving them hope amid ongoing challenges. “It’s unbelievable the way that we were supported and we’ve been trying to find ways to communicate that gratitude,” said John Mackenzie, 49.

☆ Footprints show two species of ancient human relatives shared the same ground at the same time

The Summary Ancient footprints discovered in Kenya belong to two different species of human relatives who walked on the same ground at the same time, a study found. The prints are thought to belong to the species Homo erectus and Paranthropus boisei. A newly discovered set of footprints in Kenya provides the first evidence that two different species of ancient human relatives walked the same ground simultaneously 1.5 million years ago. While both are human relatives, Homo erectus and Paranthropus boisei featured very different traits, and their fates within the human evolutionary tree took starkly different routes. Broadly speaking, Harcourt-Smith added, it has become increasingly clear that various ancient human species interacted across different habitats over the past 7 million years of evolution.

Though most abundant in the wild come fall, the flowers are cultivated by Vietnamese farmers year-round. Wild waterlilies are generally white. Each flower blooms for a few hours a day (or night) over the course of three to five days before sinking beneath the surface and dropping its seeds. In the early hours of the morning, at certain temperatures, there’s a brief window when the night bloomers are open at the same time as the day bloomers, which emit a plummy, soapy fragrance.

American policy is at a crossroads, but that won’t necessarily translate to a turning point in peace negotiations, analysts say. That’s because nothing suggests Russia is ready to come to the table, regardless of who ends up in the White House. The scope of the war is also too large for a simple negotiation between Moscow and Kyiv, experts say. Attritional war playing into Putin’s handsUkraine is already outmanned, and Putin appears ready to accept a high number of casualties. European nations are scrambling to increase ammunition production for Ukraine to prevent backsliding, in the event that US support drops off.

Nonfarm payrolls increased by 12,000 for the month, down sharply from September and below the Dow Jones estimate for 100,000, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. In what had already been expected to be a downbeat report, October posted the smallest gain since December 2020. A broader measure of unemployment that includes discouraged workers and those holding part-time jobs for economic reasons also was unchanged at 7.7%. In the report narrative, the BLS noted that the Boeing strike likely subtracted 44,000 jobs in the manufacturing sector, which lost 46,000 positions overall. The meager jobs numbers along with wages about in line with expectations help cement another interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve next week.

One member of the women’s volleyball team at San Jose State University has signed on to being part of a federal lawsuit against the NCAA challenging the presence of transgender athletes in women’s college sports. As with other points of dispute in the struggle over gender identity and transgender rights, one thing opposing sides have in common is framing their stance as a matter of what’s fair and right. This political and cultural backdrop makes the attention surrounding the SJSU situation more understandable. Anawalt echoes such an idea — that a resolution to the “fairness” question is muddy, elusive and perhaps ultimately unanswerable.

Sporting two impressive horns, the black rhino, which weighs up to 1,350 kilograms (3,000 pounds), isn’t really black at all. Much like the “white” rhino, it’s a muddy-gray color. Consistent hunting and land clearance throughout the early and mid 20th century reduced the black rhino population to an estimated 100,000 by 1960. A ban on black rhino trade, the expansion and stricter protection of their home ranges, and relocation programs involving unusual methods, have resulted in a remarkable recovery. According to the IUCN, 6,421 black rhinos were recorded across the continent in 2024.

Additionally, marinara sauce can get thinned out over pasta because of its strained nature, which would defeat the purpose of the review.

HONG KONG — Nine monkeys who died in Hong Kong’s oldest zoo in two days this week had been infected with an endemic disease, possibly after some digging work near their cages, officials said on Friday. Another possibility is that some infected monkeys had close contact with other monkeys, he said. “The incubation period for melioidosis in primates is about a week and this matched with the period after the soil digging work,” he said. Edwin Tsui, the controller of the center, said the incident only happened in a single zone and its impact on Hong Kong residents would be very low.
