In Bam!, I could see other Quest 3 wearers in the room while we controlled miniature robots that battled each other inside a virtual arena. It was a type of social gathering that feels antiquated now that internet speeds are zippy enough for us to play games online from our own homes. Naer is a start-up working on a mixed-reality app for office workers to brainstorm ideas on virtual white boards and sticky notes. “But when you’re using mixed reality, you’re still a very much part of the real world — you’re no longer surprised.”Peeking into the outside world might also make V.R. Tommy Palm, the chief executive of Resolution Games, said that in mixed reality, gamers would probably feel more confident playing games that involved fast movement.

Gail: That reminds me — during the Republican debate, when the candidates were asked to raise their hands if they believed human activity causes climate change, nobody was brave enough to do it. I know you don’t agree with our friend Ramaswamy, who called the climate change agenda “a hoax.” But do you feel yourself moving toward our oh-lord-this-is-a-world-crisis side? Conservatives could have something meaningful to contribute if they acknowledged that climate change was real and that big-government solutions aren’t the way to go. We could support a carbon tax and offset it with a reduction in income tax.

Vivek Ramaswamy wants voters to know he’s young, vigorous — and did he mention young? “You’re a blank slate — you’re 38 years old,” Mr. Ramaswamy, the first Republican millennial presidential candidate, imagined a viewer as saying about him. Chris Christie of New Jersey quickly pointed out, adding, “I’m afraid we’re dealing with the same kind of amateur.”But Mr. Ramaswamy made it clear that he wasn’t going to be deferential to the more experienced candidates onstage. He addressed former vice president Mike Pence as “Mike,” familiarly, and didn’t back down when Mr. Pence declared, “We don’t need to bring in a rookie.” Instead, he made his newcomer status a combative rallying cry. “I’m the only person on the stage who isn’t bought and paid for, so I can say this,” Mr. Ramaswamy said in response to a question about climate change policy.

☆ The Risks of Taking Drugs Like Ozempic When You’re Over 65

That’s particularly a concern for older adults, obesity medicine experts say. The more muscle someone over the age of 65 loses, the greater their risk of becoming frail or suffering a fracture or fall (which can be fatal in older adults). It is crucial for older adults to maintain muscle mass so that they can stay mobile and independent. Muscle mass naturally dwindles with age. Clinical trials on semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, have typically enrolled people in their 40s and 50s.

☆ Food addiction: What it is and how to overcome it

Known as food addiction, the condition isn’t limited to older adults — previous food addiction data had primarily centered around young- to middle-age adults up to around 50, said Ashley Gearhardt, lead author of the latest research by Michigan Medicine and a pioneer in the field of food addiction studies. But the type of treatment that would be offered for food addiction would be very different, because not everyone who reports having food addiction is binging, and the underlying neurology of food addiction and binge eating disorder aren’t the same. Food hijacking the brainThe criteria defining food addiction revolve specifically around highly processed food, instead of all food, because of how the brain responds to its consumption, experts said. Living with food addictionNot everyone who eats highly processed food develops an addictive relationship to it. “So, I don’t have science to say, ‘Here is the best treatment for this addiction,’ which is unfortunate.”Undergoing therapy can help with food addiction.

But ironically, those moments weren’t because of heavy weather, they were because of a total lack of wind. It’s often said by sailors that the most difficult moments are the calms, because when you are experiencing heavy weather, you’ve got something to keep you busy. I assume that was more challenging during the calm periods, but in general, it’s a long time to be alone.

New York CNN —Wall Street has been hit with a barrage of complex signals about the economy’s health over the past month. From banking turmoil to weakening jobs data to slowing inflation, and now the start of earnings season, investors have remained largely resilient. So, how should investors protect their portfolios? Investors say there isn’t one asset that Wall Street should pile all their bets on, but there are fundamentals that should underlie their investment strategies. Doug Fincher, portfolio manager at Ionic Capital Management, says investors should brace their portfolios against inflation.

The production was the first on Broadway to tell a Korean story, written by Korean creatives, centered on one of the most popular forms of music in the world. Cast members of KPOP perform during a press preview at Circle in the Square in New York on Oct. 11. And Covid-19 illnesses among some cast members canceled some previews, which were almost sold out, Kim said. Kim said the “built-in” Broadway audience also wasn’t reached by the show’s marketing. “We were going to try and save the show.”The show closed on Sunday and currently, the future of “KPOP” is still uncertain.

The actor Ryan Reynolds — who, remember, owns a soccer team — admits he doesn’t understand it but has sought cover by saying, “in fairness, nobody understands the offside rule.”But now you will understand it. In this case, the attacking player is onside when the ball is passed, and so is not offside, even though the player then moves offside before receiving the ball. An Offside Teammate Even if a player doesn’t get the ball, that player can be offside. An Acceptable Position In this case, the attacking player uninvolved in the action is far enough away to be considered what is called passively offside. If a player receives the ball directly from a corner kick, that player cannot be offside.

That’s how much paid sick leave some freight rail workers are demanding from the rail companies before they sign new contracts. Rail workers say years of grievances about workforce cuts, coupled with new scheduling requirements, have pushed them to the brink of exhaustion. But if any of the unions decides to strike, all rail unions will honor the work stoppage. Kennedy said the union had never agreed to higher wages at the expense of a benefit like paid sick leave. “A rail strike, even one of short duration, would be catastrophic,” said John Drake, a vice president at the Chamber of Commerce.
