The kids can come and go between the houses, but my parents need to ask to come into ours. Well, not with my parents — but with my husband and young kids in a home that backs up to my parents', in Presidio Heights in San Francisco. I don't know anyone in San Francisco who has a living situation like ours, but it works for our family. This is particularly important to my husband and me as his parents are deceased and will never know our kids. One rule is while the kids can come and go from either house as they please, my parents must ask to come into our home.

If you ask a graduating M.B.A. student, a prep school guidance counselor or the internet how to be hired at the global consulting firm McKinsey, you’re likely to find a list of prestigious “target schools” where it has consistently aimed its recruiting efforts. You know the ones — Harvard, Yale, Stanford. But these days, McKinsey would prefer a different answer. “Exceptional can come from anywhere,” its career website says. “Elite” has never sat well with many American institutions, but the word has taken a particular beating in recent years.

Philadelphia CNN —President Joe Biden plans to launch a nationwide effort to mobilize Black voters during a campaign rally in Philadelphia on Wednesday, aiming to win back support from a slice of the electorate that polls show wavering in support. Biden’s aides say they aren’t taking Black voters for granted as surveys suggest an erosion of support, particularly among Black men. Many polls have found Black voters more disconnected from the Democratic Party than they have been in decades. He’s also dialed into Black radio programs and touted issues like infrastructure investments and canceling student debt when promoting his record to Black voters. As the summer progresses, the Black Voters for Biden-Harris organizational effort will partner with community groups to register voters and strengthen voter protection efforts.

From the Cat Stevens music on the soundtrack to the grainy texture of the picture itself, the film plays like a product of its time setting. More than replicating a vintage look and sound, Payne wanted to summon an emotional spell that enduring films of the past can still conjure.

TOKYO, Oct 6 (Reuters) - Japan's real wages in August declined for a 17th straight month, government data showed on Friday, as persistent price hikes continued to outpace salaries. Separate data on Friday showed Japan's consumer spending also shrank for the sixth consecutive month in August, squeezing consumers' purchasing power even as major companies offered their biggest pay increases in three decades. The consumer inflation rate officials use to calculate real wages, which includes fresh food prices but excludes rent, slowed to 3.7%, the lowest in 11 months. Base salary growth in August climbed 1.6% year-on-year, from a revised 1.4% gain in the previous month, the data showed. "As import prices settle down, the growth rate of consumer inflation is also expected to gradually narrow, and real wages will also recover," Koike said.
