☆ Putin has given up on his ambition to conquer Ukraine after military losses that may take a decade to repair, US intel claims
  + stars: | 2023-05-05 | by ( Tom Porter | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min

But Ukrainian forces repelled the Russian military in the Kyiv region, then pushed them back along a broad front of territory they had seized in southern and eastern Ukraine. Despite the setbacks, last June Haines said Putin still believed that seizing control of most of Ukraine was possible. Putin may believe that a ceasefire would be to his advantage as a way of prolonging the conflict, and eroding Western support for Ukraine, said Haines.

☆ Investors are stampeding into boring old bonds to start the year
  + stars: | 2023-01-21 | by ( Michael Santoli | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +7 min
Yet boring old bonds have just about kept pace, as investors rush to lock in healthy-seeming yields after one of the worst years ever for fixed-income returns. The Federal Reserve's historically aggressive tightening campaign last year gouged debt portfolios but quickly rebuilt the supply of safe yield on offer for today's buyers. I made the case for bonds' value from this perspective in a column here three months ago , just as Treasury yields were peaking. The good news is that "real yields," meaning yields above the market's implied outlook for inflation, remain positive. The American Association of Individual Investors' monthly asset allocation survey for December showed bonds at 14.3%, below the survey's long-term average of 16%.

In 1995, she became the first science fiction writer to be awarded a MacArthur “genius” grant. “‘Kindred’ was a story of ordinary people trapped in fantastic circumstances,” Butler wrote in a 1988 notebook. Her point of view was one not traditionally found in science fiction and, simply by writing, she demanded a larger world.

Netflix: About 150 peopleNetflix Co-CEO Reed Hastings. Getty Images LatamNetflix laid off around 150 people in mid-May, its second round of layoffs in 2022. The latest layoffs, which impacted "mostly US-based" staff, were due to "slowing revenue growth," according to a statement from a Netflix spokesperson. And executives warned at the time that further subscriber losses were predicted for the future. They blamed "revenue growth headwinds" in a report to shareholders and said that heavy Netflix use during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic had "obscured the picture until recently."
