Instead, gasoline prices are getting more expensive and are just pennies away from their highest level so far this year. Are rising oil prices another item to add to the list? How high do you think oil prices will go? When you adjust for inflation, oil isn’t that high right now. I think that we are going to see continued high prices for a lot of stuff, including gasoline, but I don’t think we’re gonna see an acceleration in prices.

I learned to roller skate. I used the skate key to affix the metal skates to the soles of my red oxfords, a worn-out pair of shoes my mother held in reserve for playing outside. Without a care, I tested my mettle, staring down the rasp from the top of the hill, and took off — whoosh! But before I could take a second breath, the clamp on my left skate came loose. Attached only by a tattered strap, it dangled treacherously from my ankle, while my right foot rocketed on, detached and indifferent to the plight at hand.

The rest of the money was put into her college fund. We’re never going to give her more than $100 in cash, because she’s a child, so her college fund is likely to grow fairly quickly. Think, for a moment, about what it means for a government to treat its citizens equally. Because particular citizens have particular needs, some will require more resources than others, but nobody is favored or disfavored simply by virtue of who they are. Perhaps surprisingly, I think it can be helpful to apply this idea to the very different context of family life.

BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox fired Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom on Thursday as the team stumbled toward a third last-place finish in four seasons. “We’re aiming for World Series championships.

The Best Electric Razors for Women for a Smooth Finish

Buyers are increasingly going electric—some because electric shavers lead to far less landfill waste than disposable versions you’d replace daily or weekly. The back of the leg calls for pivoting heads, too, says Dr. Sarkar. “Many electric shavers have Lithium-ion batteries,” notes Dr. Sarkar—so carry-on would be your only option. Epilators, which do remove hair this way, sometimes get misclassified as electric shavers. So if you’re looking for something that will literally uproot your hair, electric shavers aren’t right for the job—but epilators are.

“My grandfather went on this one time,” Rachel Bloom effused on a recent afternoon. “He thought he was going to die.”A writer-performer best known for the cult musical comedy “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” Bloom was standing at the base of Coney Island’s Cyclone, the 96-year-old wooden thrill ride designated as a landmark by American Coaster Enthusiasts. “I just had this thought of, we’re all going to die someday,” she said. Something like riding the world’s second-steepest wooden roller coaster, which boasts 60-mile-per-hour speeds and an 85-foot drop. Bloom — brisk, animated, with a mind that sometimes outraces her mouth — apparently finds a 3.75 G-force relaxing.

June through August were the hottest months on record, the World Meteorological Organization said. The deadly extreme heat and other climate-fueled disasters are upending people's lives this summer. A summer of writing about disaster after disaster got me thinking: Will we look back on this summer as a turning point? More of us are feeling the whiplash: Americans are increasingly connecting the dots between disasters and the climate crisis. In the meantime, communities have to be better prepared because the next five years could continue to break temperature records , according to the World Meteorological Organization.

It’s the latest example of how extreme weather, exacerbated by climate change, impacted major North American attractions this summer. Extreme heat in Florida also disrupted attendance at Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando this summer. Theme parks are building indoor rides and changing ticket policies to respond to brutal weather conditions. Golding has lowered his estimates for the theme park industry because of growing risks from extreme weather. SeaWorld warns in its annual report to investors that extreme weather events could cause it to “incur significant costs.”“The series of extreme weather events experienced in recent years presents an alarming trend,” SeaWorld said.

CNN —If you’ve dealt with stiffness and pain in the recent past, you may have come across fascia training — an approach that many in the fitness realm are encouraging people to do. Foam rolling is a common technique in fascia training and can help improve range of motion, according to research. Some skepticism remainsDespite the popularity of fascia training today, and many promising study results, some experts say it’s not a real thing. “But people are saying ‘fascia training’ now because the term is hot.”“Fascia training is a bit of a buzz word,” Barnet Simmons agreed. While plenty of studies have been done on fascia training, many experts claim there is a lack of robust studies.

6 Podcasts About the Perils (and Joys) of Modern Dating

Last year marked the 10th anniversary of Tinder, the swipe-based dating app whose mainstream success completely redefined the rules of romance. While early episodes of the podcast featured recorded sets from those live shows, it’s since evolved into a more intimate format. Starter episode: “Gearóid Farrelly”Although it lasted less than two years, this soulful, searching series about digital courtship feels as if it was around much longer. That’s in large part because it shape-shifted midway through its run when its host, Andrea Silenzi, went through a breakup. Opting to use her own situation as “a storytelling device,” Silenzi shares her confusion and heartbreak as she chronicles the indignities (and occasional joys) of app-based dating.

Menopause-centered offerings vary widely, from mindfulness techniques to herbal remedies to nutritional guidance and exercise. Sometimes, the most important activity is just the chance to bond with other women facing the same issues, experts say. “There’s a great healing and discovery when a group of people are going through a similar circumstance,” said Melissa Biggs Bradley, the founder and chief executive of Indagare, a membership-based travel company that recently announced its first midlife and menopause retreat. After a health screening, I was given a tailored agenda to nurture and balance my aging, changing body. First up was a personalized strength training session — squats, lunges, planks and resistance band exercises — to remedy my joint pain and build bone.

VENICE, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Elvis Presley's former wife Priscilla said the legendary rock star had been the love of her life, despite eventually leaving him, as a film about their turbulent relationship hit the Venice Film Festival. "Priscilla", directed by Sofia Coppola, is based on her 1985 autobiography, "Elvis and Me", depicting her roller-coaster life with one of the most famous figures of the 20th century. He was the love of my life, but it was the lifestyle that was so difficult for me," Priscilla told reporters in Venice ahead of the world premiere of the movie, which stars Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi. Priscilla Beaulieu met Elvis Presley in 1959 when she was just 14 and he was deeply homesick, stationed with the U.S. army in West Germany. "Priscilla" is one of 23 movies competing for the Golden Lion award at the Venice festival, which runs until Sept. 9.

Rent growth is rapidly decelerating across the US after taking off during the pandemic. Lower rent growth means that the cost of an apartment is still climbing, just at a slower pace. Renting may be expensive, but considering how many are feeling about the economy, it's easy to see why so many are sticking to apartments — especially as rent growth steadily slides. 42 cities that are getting more affordableBelow are 42 real estate markets where median rent for a one-bedroom apartment is lower than it was in 2022, according to Zumper. Along with each city are its year-over-year and month-over-month rent changes, average rent price, and national rent ranking among the largest 100 US cities.

Television’s depictions of religion have often leaned either toward po-faced dogma or scouring atheism, but here is one that dares to split the difference. The eldest, Jesse, is a pompous hothead whose default response to any insult is light violence and who, despite his persona as a family man, has enjoyed the sort of hard-partying lifestyle that would make early-1970s Led Zeppelin blush. His sister, Judy, is a flamethrowing libertine with a staggeringly foul mouth and a tendency to transgress against her lovingly milquetoast husband. Like a staging of “King Lear” at a monster-truck rally, the show has a loneliness that undergirds its berserk energy. This is not the only fascinating vision of the church on HBO these days.

Retail pasta prices rose about 12% this year in Europe and 8% in the United States, according to market research firm Nielsen.

Durum, the hardest wheat, produces pasta with the prized "al dente" firm texture, unlike soft wheat.

Why failure is your child’s best tool

Parents and guardians often feel exhilarated by our children’s successes as much as we feel panicked and exhausted by their mistakes. We feel what they feel, and it’s a lot to go through, for them and for us. You need to experience “just the right amount” of setbacks to feel pain, learn from it, repair and become stronger. But there is something you can use to make sure that your child’s setbacks don’t become the headline of their childhood and, instead, become a launchpad for growth. Her latest book, “Eight Setbacks That Can Make a Child a Success,” is available at all major and indie booksellers.

She blamed the industry's market structure and suggested consolidation had weakened competition. But Hollywood's problems aren't caused by consolidation, but rather a harrowing transition to streaming. AdvertisementAdvertisementFTC chair Lina Khan made some recent comments that should trouble anyone in the TV and movie business. She continued on to say that "unless those market structure questions are addressed, it seems like potentially some of these power imbalances will persist." And I worry that if Khan thinks the market structure in Hollywood is already broken, it suggests any significant media merger is likely to be challenged.

Since then, it faced legal hurdles, and the Supreme Court struck the relief down in June. Since he took office, his administration was weighing its options to get relief to borrowers, and Biden himself even questioned his authority to enact broad debt relief. About a month after the debt relief announcement, applications opened for federal borrowers to apply for an up to $20,000 reduction to their balances. It did go all the way to the Supreme Court and was deemed ineligible. Even with the Supreme Court ruling, Biden's administration has started implementing other reforms for borrowers, along with a new process for broad student-loan forgiveness using a different law.

“And since the masks that are most effective are N95 that are now readily available, that’s the kind of mask you should wear,” he added. But the agency doesn’t make a broad recommendation for everyone to adopt masks. Morris Brown College in Atlanta announced a return to mandated physical distancing and masks just one week after classes started in August. And pediatricians are poised for the typical return-to-school surge in all kinds of respiratory illness, whether colds, flu or Covid. “The virus is always lurking, waiting for openings, so I think Covid is just going to be a bit of a roller coaster, probably forever,” Wachter said.
