AdvertisementMy menstrual bleeding was abnormal, so I went to my doctor, thinking I was in perimenopause. Four months ago, I went in to see my primary care doctor because my menstrual bleeding was abnormal. There, I learned the basics about cramps, the difference between pads and tampons, and the non-stop fun that awaited me with my changing body. Reading a list of symptoms — bleeding between periods, pelvic pain, longer periods — felt like reading a page of my journal for the last few years. Other perimenopausal symptoms might be approaching, but I'm no longer afraid to talk about them or seek answers when something feels off.

I left my family, friends, and home state of Minnesota and moved abroad to the UK in 2016 in the name of love. My now ex-husband was British, and I'd finally been granted a spouse visa to live with him shortly after we eloped. Between my original spouse visa, which I obtained in 2016, and my spouse visa renewal in 2019, I spent about $6,300 today.

The requests were like thousands of others sent in the past two years by Trump-allied groups seeking to identify perceived partisans within the federal government.

Timothy D. Easley/AP/FileTrump as a candidate vowed to reinstate a 2020 executive order known as Schedule F, which gave him power to commence mass firings of federal employees who could be impediments to his agenda. America First Policy Institute also has close ties to Trump’s transition. However, it so far has not published a list of federal employees for the Trump administration to target, though Howell did not rule it out.

☆ Tesla Cybertrucks have joined the growing number of luxury EVs that can now be leased
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-16 | by ( Lloyd Lee | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Part of the reason is due to a tax credit program that the Cybertruck has been largely left out of. Tesla is offering the Cybertruck for lease a year after the EV company made its first deliveries to customers. However, leasing an EV offers buyers another way to take advantage of the tax credit program without meeting every requirement. Through what's known as a "leasing loophole," dealerships can receive the tax credit and choose to pass those savings on to the buyer or lessee. But Tesla's Cybertruck has largely been left out of the federal incentive program.

In a move that’s perhaps more symbolic than business-minded, Barnes & Noble, America’s largest retail bookseller, has reclaimed the flagship store it vacated in 2013. But Barnes & Noble would revamp its business model. “The problem with Barnes & Noble when I took it over was that the bookstores themselves weren’t very good,” Daunt told CNN. Foot traffic data for Barnes & Noble show that visits are up by 7% since 2019, according to location analytics company Placer.ai. Shannon DeVito, head of books at Barnes & Noble, says that beyond reigniting a love for reading, the BookTok trend has guided stores on what to stock.

On the surface, The Onion's announcement that it had purchased Alex Jones's Infowars at auction on Thursday may have sounded like a bizarre joke. But behind the scenes, the bid came together through strategic coordination — with the support of Sandy Hook families and a nonprofit that is backed by Michael Bloomberg.

☆ Why your next new car could very well cost more than $50,000
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-16 | by ( Chris Isidore | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

Americans paid a whopping $47,612 on average for a new car in October, according to data from Edmunds. That means new car prices have risen much faster than most goods and services. But much of the reason Americans are paying nearly $50k for a car is that automakers decided to go all-in on expensive cars. The combination of higher interest rates and higher car prices, along with the biggest average loans ever taken out to buy them, lifted the average monthly car payment to $742 in October. And that would make every car built in America more expensive, because no vehicle is made with 100% American parts.
