CNN —All Mariah Carey wants for Christmas is to look her best at all times. “I can’t with the overhead lighting,” Carey said. I’m just saying.”“It’s hideous lighting,” she said. “The sun is okay if it’s sunset, I’ll gladly go outside and put a little hat on or whatever and that’ll be pretty because the sunlight caresses your skin.”Although sunlight, Carey pointed out, also has a downside. “But overhead lighting, I don’t think so, honey.”And lest you think she wasn’t serious about her dislike for overhead lighting, Carey added one more thing.

CNN —A recently discovered comet, known as C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan–ATLAS, will make its closest approach of Earth on Saturday. Sky-gazers won’t want to miss the event since it may be the last time the comet will be seen in the night sky for another 80,000 years. It will just appear to hang there, and it will slowly change position from night to night,” Cooke said. C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan–ATLAS appears brighter in an image taken by the Virtual Telescope Project three days after the comet reached its perihelion. “For many people, and especially children, seeing a bright comet in the night sky is a beautiful and life-changing experience,” Kareta said.

☆ Your tax bracket may increase after 2025. Here's how it could affect your brokerage account
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-08 | by ( Kate Dore | Cfp | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Without action from Congress, trillions of tax breaks enacted by former President Donald Trump will expire after 2025, including lower federal income tax brackets, among other provisions. Higher rates after 2025 could impact some brokerage accounts since investors pay annual taxes on earnings, experts say. If you sell investments that you have owned for one year or less, the profits incur "short-term capital gains," or regular income taxes. Generally speaking, it's good to avoid short-term gains as much as you can. Actively managed mutual funds often trigger capital gains payouts, even when investors haven't sold shares, which can be a costly year-end surprise.

During his travels, the professional cyclist has braved brutal headwinds, extreme temperatures, dangerous traffic and even dusted himself off after a run-in with a kangaroo. That’s all while cycling up to 17 or 18 hours a day, stopping only to sleep, eat and mentally reset before doing it all again. “Rainy days, big, long headwind days – I think mentally they’re probably the most challenging,” says Morton. Reminding yourself that you’re just on a bike ride becomes very important.”This, however, is far from any normal bike ride. Morton has had to negotiate large trucks on his cycle around Australia.

Haze and a chlorine odor will likely descend upon Atlanta on Thursday, as officials struggle to contain the fallout from a Georgia chemical lab fire that ignited Sunday. With weather models predicting a wind shift, there is a high likelihood that people across metro Atlanta will wake up on Thursday morning seeing haze and smelling chlorine, GEMA/HS said in the release. While the air quality findings announced Wednesday were above the action level for chlorine, GEMA/HS says workers on site have continued to make progress in neutralizing the product. Periodic increases in chlorine levels around the facility are expected as this process continues, the agency said. GEMA/HS says chlorine levels in the air sit at safe levels.

South Korea's factory activity contracted at the sharpest pace in 15 months in September as overseas demand slowed for the first time in the year, a private survey showed on Wednesday, suggesting a slow road to a full-blown economic recovery. Output and new orders shrank in September, after gaining for five straight months, with the steepest slump in 11 months and 15 months, respectively. Specifically, export sales to China, Japan, India and the United States weakened, according to the survey. The survey showed backlogs of work, an indicator of near-term activity, fell by the most in five months, while optimism for the year ahead weakened sharply to the lowest level since December 2022.

Sure, many small businesses aren't glamorous — think dental practices or accounting firms — and they involve long hours and unpredictable market forces. The US Small Business Administration said in July that there were nearly 35 million small businesses in the US. Fewer than two-thirds of small businesses in the US in 2022 were profitable, and over a million businesses of all sizes close each year. Traditionally, small businesses were family businesses, and the eldest male child was expected to take it over when the patriarch was ready to step down. Buying up small businesses allows people without wealthy boomer parents to cash in on the trillions of dollars of wealth the generation is sitting on.

The U.S. central bank cut interest rates by half a percentage point on Wednesday, suggesting the Fed saw a slowing job market.

China's industrial output growth also slowed to a five-month low last month, and retail sales and new home prices weakened further.
