Adrienne Hurst and Dan Farrell andListen and follow The DailyApple Podcasts | Spotify | StitcherLakishia Fell-Davis is aware that at this point, in 2023, most people are treating the coronavirus pandemic as a thing of the past. For her, though, Covid still poses a real threat: Fell-Davis has Type I diabetes, putting her at higher risk of hospitalization and long-term complications from illness. She felt much more comfortable when schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District were online during the first year and a half of the pandemic and her kids, Makayla and Kevin, were attending virtually. Sure, they missed their friends, but they were shy and soft-spoken children who had never really strayed far from home. Fell-Davis cried when she learned that in the fall of 2021, the school district would require students and teachers to return to in-person learning.

She pulled $30,000 from her retirement savings and was planning to give herself all of 2022 to expand the small catering business she had always dreamed about. Then, that month, she received the news that medics were pulling her father out of his car. The collision splintered the bone in his left thigh down to his knee; three days later, a metal rod held the broken pieces together. In hindsight, there were warning signs that her father’s health could upend Schofield’s life. The social-work scholar Dorothy A. Miller once described this as the “peculiar position” in the modern American nuclear family, between the care people give to their aging parents and to their children.

Inside them were oranges. Oranges, the fruit. Over the next three days, 8,000 people in Ivrea would throw 900 tons of oranges at one another, one orange at a time, while tens of thousands of other people watched. They would throw the oranges very hard, very viciously, often while screaming profanities at their targets or yowling like Braveheart. And on that day in February, three years of constrained energy was due to explode all at once.

The exodus of older workers has no equivalent in other advanced economies. "The best part of 90% of people who say they are early retired ... say that they will probably or definitely never work again." Based on data from before the pandemic, Britain's Resolution Foundation found the richest fifth of 50-59 year olds were 10 times likelier to retire early than the bottom fifth. Other companies say they value older workers for their experience. "Older workers are the ones that have got the skills - we don't find young people with the skills that we need.

March 6 (Reuters) - SiriusXM Holdings Inc (SIRI.O) on Monday said it would lay off 8% of its workforce, or about 475 employees, as the satellite radio firm takes a hit from slow subscriber growth. Weak auto sales are also expected to hurt the radio operator's subscriber base. "Today's decision to reduce our workforce was required for us to maintain a sustainably profitable company," Chief executive Jennifer Witz said in a letter to staff. SiriusXM joins tech titans such as Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) and Google-parent Alphabet Inc (GOOGL.O) that cut headcount by the thousands to weather a tough economy. In January, music streaming platform Spotify Technology (SPOT.N) also cut its workforce by 6%.

Пятый выпуск #sexplicații доступен для русскоязычных молодых людей. Хотя половое воспитание в Молдове по-прежнему является темой табу, команда #diez знает, как важно осознанно заниматься сексом. Мы решили не ставить молодых людей в неловкое положение, чтобы они рассказывали о инфекциях и воспоминаниях, которые им дорого обошлись. В следующем выпуске #sexplicații речь будет идти о презервативах: чем они хороши, как их правильно использовать и что делать, если презерватив порвался. Так вот, в рамках #sexplicații мы будем «раскрывать» лист за листом капусты, рассказывая вам об опыте молодых людей и специалистов в данной области.
