Vladimir Putin has been quiet about Syria since the end of Bashir Assad's rule. During an annual televised meeting between President Vladimir Putin and Russia's top military officials on Monday, Putin was keen to keep the focus firmly on incremental successes in Ukraine. AdvertisementBut he was conspicuously silent about recent events in Syria — where longtime Kremlin ally Bashar Assad was deposed by rebels earlier this month. AdvertisementYet, with Russia's military stretched by its costly war in Ukraine, Putin appeared unwilling or unable to divert forces to save Assad. The collapse of Assad's government could have wider implications for Russia's global military footprint, which might help explain Putin's silence on the matter.

☆ I wish I failed more before I became a mother. I want my daughter to know resilience is more important than success.

I felt like a failure when I became a mother, so I had to shift my perspective. I have always been a rule follower, and as a teenager, I rarely challenged my Indian immigrant parents' strict rules. Academic success became the cornerstone of my self-esteem as I entered college, and my priorities reflected this. I turned down invitations to socialize, travel, and explore in order to study, study, and then study some more. I struggled with breastfeeding, as many mothers do, and in my postpartum period, I filtered this experience through my default lens of success vs. failure.

The pieces they buy are mainly imported from countries like China, making their business sensitive to the effects of potentially higher tariffs. That could mean that certain goods end up being excluded from tariffs, as was the case with tariffs Trump imposed during his first term. Companies are being proactive, tooIt’s not just individuals trying to get ahead of potentially higher tariffs, large companies are too. During Trump’s first term, when higher tariffs were levied on Chinese goods, “we were not proactive in pricing,” he said. The steps that bigger businesses are taking, or plan to take, can ultimately lessen the blow consumers face from possibly higher tariffs, Lincicome said.

With weeks to go before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, the Biden administration is still taking steps to deliver sweeping student loan forgiveness to millions of Americans. The U.S. Department of Education has submitted its so-called "Plan B" for student loan cancellation to the Office of Management and Budget for review. "OMB review is the last step" before the policy is published in the Federal Register, said higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz. Once the rule is published, the Education Department could begin reducing or eliminating people's loans, Kantrowitz said. "The Biden administration continues to seek student debt relief even in the waning days of his tenure as president," Kantrowitz said.

The quarter-percentage point cut the Federal Reserve is widely anticipated to deliver this week could be a bad idea, according to Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research. "The last word we got from Fed Chair Jerome Powell was the economy is strong and we don't need to rush to lower interest rates. Fed funds futures predict a 99% chance that the U.S. central bank will cut interest rates by another quarter percentage point this week, and less than a 1% probability of rates remaining at their current levels. "Everything, to me, suggests that interest rates are just about where they should be," Yardeni added. By reducing rates now, the U.S. central bank risks a market meltup that could lead to a "wicked correction."
