What followed was hundreds of sequels and spinoffs, everything from "Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul" to "Chicken Soup for the Canadian Soul" to the bestseller I read cover to cover, several times, in sixth grade: "Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul." By 2003, research found that more young readers seeking solace turned to the Chicken Soup series than to the Bible. What began as Chicken Soup for the Soul board games and calendars turned into Chicken Soup for the Soul chocolates and Chicken Soup for the Soul pet food. He pointed out that the cover of the original Chicken Soup book "ripped off" Campbell's Soup, to trigger "nourishing and comforting and warming" feelings. He started suggesting outrageous directions Chicken Soup could go in next: "The Chicken Soup pistol!

☆ An $88 billion auto giant laid off 400 workers remotely in a move likened to ending a marriage by video call

The move by Stellantis, worth $88 billion, has sparked fresh discussions on the etiquette around how to execute layoffs. AdvertisementExperts say that virtual and remote-style layoffs aren't the best solution — it shows a lack of empathy and consideration for the workers affected and might push remaining workers to leave. AdvertisementWhen employees feel the "psychological contract" between themselves and their employers is "violated," they may resort to extreme reactions, Jones said. This could also hurt the morale of remaining employees and increase attrition, according to Boodoo. "Research suggests that following a layoff, there's an increase in voluntary turnover among remaining employees.

☆ A market mystery: Why do capers come in such tiny jars?

This is a story about one of modern life’s least consequential but most acutely annoying experiences: getting a sufficient number of capers out of those dollhouse-size jars they’re sold in. Capers are expensive, so producers sell them in smaller jars to make each unit more affordable. Why such narrow jars? Skinny jars just look nicer, Mezzetta says.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — One thunderous dunk provided a perfect snapshot of Anthony Edwards' second-half dominance Monday night. Edwards threw down a monster slam over John Collins of the Utah Jazz in the third quarter, helping the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 114-104 victory but leaving both players banged up after the play. Timberwolves veteran point guard Mike Conley said it might have been the best dunk he's ever witnessed in person. Edwards’ dunk gave a short-handed Minnesota team an emotional boost during a critical stretch. “He’s always been a guy who can really flip a game around,” Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said.

America's first commercial-scale offshore wind farm is officially open, a long-awaited moment that helps pave the way for a succession of large wind farms. The Biden administration has approved six commercial-scale offshore wind energy projects, and auctioned lease areas for offshore wind for the first time off the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico coasts. Ørsted CEO Mads Nipper called the opening a major milestone that proves large offshore wind farms can be built, both in the United States and in other countries with little or no offshore wind energy currently. The first U.S. offshore wind farm was supposed to be a project off the coast of Massachusetts known as Cape Wind. The nation's second large offshore wind farm, Vineyard Wind, is expected to open later this year off the coast of Massachusetts, too.

Workers who choose to be fully remote will face limited career progression, an anonymous source told The Register. AdvertisementThese tactics are more commonly known as "quiet firing" or "quiet cutting ," — a workplace trend that has taken off after the end of the zero interest rate era. It's a subtle move by bosses to make a role less appealing, motivating workers to quit rather than forcing them out through layoffs. A lot of companies sell the rhetoric of "we are family" to employees, and public layoffs cut against that perception, Hardy said. AdvertisementUltimately, quiet firing and quiet cutting help employers maintain greater control over the narrative and how they're perceived publicly, Schawbel added.

The bill would bar counties from usurping state law on agricultural operations, including revoking such county regulations that were previously adopted. “This bill is of specific interest to many Hardy County residents because it contains language that would explicitly address a situation specific to Hardy County,” county planner Melissa Scott wrote in an email to The Associated Press. It’s unknown whether Allegheny Wood Products, which has eight sawmills in the state, wants to resume its efforts to obtain an air permit.

Toss opened packages of deli meats or any sliced by a deli after three to five days, and hot dogs after one week. Shelf-stable foods, such as canned tuna, sardines and salmon, will not increase the risk of listeria.

☆ Researchers think they have the key to why tardigrades can survive almost anything
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-05 | by ( Jenna Schnuer | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

CNN —Tardigrades, also known as water bears, commonly survive in some of Earth’s most challenging environments. Under stress in extreme cold or other harsh environmental conditions, tardigrades’ bodies produce unstable free radicals of oxygen and an unpaired electron, aka a reactive oxygen species that can wreak havoc on the body’s proteins and DNA if they overaccumulate. The survival mechanism kicks off when cysteines, one of the amino acids that forms proteins in the body, come into contact with these oxygen free radicals and becomes oxidized, the researchers found. The free radicals become, so to speak, the hammer used to smash the glass on a fire alarm. “We came up with this idea (that) maybe it’s those species that are actually signaling to the tardigrades to enter their tun state,” she said.
