This is an adapted excerpt from her book "Lost & Found: Nine Life-Changing Lessons About Stuff From Someone Who Lost Everything." All of it — furniture, sentimental stuff, books — was packed up in a storage unit. On New Year's Eve, that storage unit, well…everything's gone." A survey in the UK asked adults to list what they got for Christmas the prior year, and over half couldn't remember a single thing they had received.

☆ ‘Slow Horses’ Season 3 Review: A Stable of Spies Returns
  + stars: | 2023-11-29 | by ( John Anderson | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
Gary Oldman Photo: Apple TV+It would be a stretch to describe “Slow Horses” as a “feel good” show, except for its ramshackle centerpiece, Jackson Lamb . Played by a deliciously derelict Gary Oldman , Jackson will certainly make the average viewer feel good about his or her own personal hygiene. Slow Horses, season 3 Wednesday, Apple TV+He’s also hilarious, usually right and never modest about it, which may infuriate the poor unfortunates around him but does make him a highly watchable and even quotable post-Le Carré Cold War hero—a reservoir of seemingly passé spycraft that nevertheless becomes critically important from episode to episode, and season to season. (“Slow Horses” now enters its third as one of the best series on television.) The infractions can be minor, but the damage to one’s career and credibility are never less than biblical, the ensuing duties clerical.

☆ Column: Beware conflating 'de-dollarisation' with weaker dollar

LONDON, June 1 (Reuters) - Even if the U.S. dollar's singular dominance as global currency of choice is in fact ebbing, it may not automatically lead to a weaker dollar exchange rate - and could periodically mean the opposite. The big advantage of large dollar reserve holdings alongside wide commercial usage and trade in dollars overseas was clear. But the issue is typically read in markets as a reason to bet on a weakening dollar exchange rate - or even to pump alternatives such as gold or crypto tokens. Of course, that was a global economy riven with fixed dollar exchange rate pegs that supercharged the transmission of Fed policy, most of which have since been dismantled. That may be a world many countries prefer if they are sure of viable alternatives - but may not mean a weaker dollar.

But over the last decade, technology like continuous glucose monitoring has been on the rise. Abbott and Dexcom are the two most dominant players in the space. CNBC spoke with both companies about the technology inside CGM's.
