The Dallas-area influencer who had her spider monkey taken from her Saturday after a drunk driving crash is under investigation after the monkey was determined to be malnourished, officials said Friday. Brandi Botello's spider monkey, named Jorgie Boy, was taken from her following the crash in which Dallas police arrested the driver on a charge of driving while intoxicated. She told the station she was drunk and asleep in the passenger seat while holding Jorgie Boy when the crash happened. Jorgie Boy is the size of a 1-year-old monkey even though he will turn 3 in February. It might take over a year to get Jorgie Boy to a point where he is strong enough to play with other monkeys again, Johns said.

Graves defines work-life balance as scheduling family time into his calendar, to avoid getting lost while growing his company. "There's always something to work on and you'll just constantly do it, so it's being very diligent on planning," says Graves. "You might be tired, but you're not going to be dragging around ...

Making it successful requires you to "multiply that by infinity," says billionaire Raising Cane's co-founder and CEO Todd Graves. Nearly three decades later, Raising Cane's has more than 800 locations worldwide and could finish this year with nearly $5 billion in sales, a spokesperson says. "I can't tell you how many 15, 16-hour days I've worked in a row," Graves, 52, tells CNBC Make It. DON'T MISS: The ultimate guide to negotiating a higher salaryAt times, Graves worked so much that his wife would bring their two kids to his office for dinner and playtime — after which he'd go back to work, he says. As such, he's still busy — but he's configured his workload to make time for family and friends anyway, he says.

But now the organization is turning its attention (and its rats’ noses) to the global illegal wildlife trade. “Unfortunately, organized crime knows there’s a real weak spot in detection methods of ports, seaports and airports, particularly in Africa.”Traffickers disguise wildlife products in a whole host of ways, he explains. This is particularly important given that much of the illicit wildlife trade comes from some of the world’s poorest regions. “I’m hopeful that (using rats) for detecting wildlife will be a low cost, low impact, low footprint operation,” says Allan. The illegal wildlife trade not only impacts populations of the trafficked animal or plant, it can have devastating knock-on consequences for whole ecosystems.

Her first birthday party became a family reunion and an event to mark what felt like the toughest part of the pandemic. It seems like there's another birthday party every weekThat first birthday party was more than three years ago. It's also hard to remember to buy a gift for such-and-so's birthday party this weekend, with everything else we have going on during the week. I decided to ask parents not to buy gifts for my daughtersThat's when my idea was born: I would directly ask parents NOT to buy new gifts for our daughters' birthday parties. Additionally, I would encourage parents to reuse old gift bags, wrapping paper, and ribbon to wrap them.

It seemed like I had just about reached everything I had wished for when my life took a turn. I have accidentally baffled many American parents by raising my children like kids are raised in the Nordics, embracing all types of weather and encouraging them to be independent. AdvertisementAt elementary age, I have them schedule their playdates so they call their friends' parents to organize them. And, after school, I suggest they skip homework to get that essential playtime outside after school instead (the American school day is two to three hours longer than the Finnish one, with less recess). I also don't spend much time entertaining my kids, allowing them to take the lead in creating their own fun.

Case in point: the PowerPoint party, where people get together to show each other presentations on various topics in the name of having fun. It's a chance to be creative and turn something you do at work into something silly and social. The rise of the PowerPoint party also speaks to the workification of our day-to-day lives. Perhaps it's no surprise that young adults who had their childhood activities scheduled down to the minute are embracing the PowerPoint party. If you absolutely insist on having a PowerPoint party, God bless.

Sidestep injury with the lateral lunge
  + stars: | 2024-04-25 | by ( Dana Santas | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
The side or lateral lunge is one of the best exercises for building lateral stability and mobility in the often neglected frontal plane. The side lunge also improves the mobility and stability of your hips, knees and ankles to avoid related strains and sprains. By strengthening the muscles involved in lateral movement with side lunges, you can accomplish these chores more efficiently while reducing your risk of muscle strain or injury. Training with side lunges can increase your lateral movement strength, enhance your mobility and boost your confidence to be more adventurous outdoors. The side or lateral lunge strengthens the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, adductors and core to help you ward off injuries.
