When Omarni Webb decided she wanted to get a master's degree, she was determined not to go into debt. Webb completed a master's degree in marketing in Sweden and later worked as a data analyst. I figured that having a master's degree would give me an edge because I would know how to design clothes and market them. I looked at Columbia and New York University but soon realized that I couldn't afford to go to either, even if I got accepted. I had gotten through college with no debt and wanted to do the same for my master's degree.

Andrew Yeung, a former Google and Meta lead, goes on coffee chats three to five times a week. I spent a few years as a product lead at Google and a business operations lead at Meta before leaving to build a 7-figure business and invest in over 20 early-stage companies. Most of my business partnerships, clients, and — dare I say — friendships started with a coffee chat. Once I have clarity, I use my goal outcome to shape three discussion topics or broad questions for the conversation. Listen to learn, not to respondCome prepared to learn, but don't over-program your coffee chat.

A man charged with fraud for claiming to own a storied Manhattan hotel where he had been living rent-free for years has been found unfit to stand trial, prosecutors said Wednesday. Finally, we convinced him to go seek treatment,’” Barreto told The Associated Press on Wednesday. They say he forged a deed to the New Yorker Hotel purporting to transfer ownership of the entire building to him. Because I’m not being treated as a criminal but I’m treated like a nutjob,” Barreto told the AP. But the New Yorker closed as a hotel in 1972 and was used for years for church purposes before part of the building reopened as a hotel in 1994.

Daniel Penny went “way too far” when he put Jordan Neely in a chokehold on a New York City subway train last year until he died, a Manhattan prosecutor told jurors Friday during opening statements in Penny’s manslaughter trial. “A chokehold is only permitted when it’s absolutely necessary and only for as long as it’s absolutely necessary,” Yoran told jurors. He talked about being hungry, thirsty and made threats about hurting people and wanting to go back to jail, which frightened people on the train, Yoran said. In addition to opening statements, jurors on Friday heard from three police officers who had responded to the subway car. Kenniff said jurors also would hear during the trial from subway riders who had feared for their lives.

Bosley and his family have dedicated their lives to stopping gun violence and helping loved ones of those lost to it.

All three titles are expected to thrive at the box office, both during their openings and as they run through the rest of the year. The physical screens are often bigger than traditional movie screens or have auditoriums that feature higher-quality sound systems or seating options. These screens account for 9.1% of the domestic box office, around $600 million in 2024. PLF receipts still represent a small portion of the overall box office, with most audiences seeing films on traditional digital screens. However, it's no small feat that PLF box office has grown 33% in just five years.
