TJ Maxx is TK Maxx in Europe. Hannah Docter-LoebTJ Maxx is an American discount store dating back to the 1970s, and the company opened its first European location in the 90s. But the UK was already home to a discount store called TJ Hughes, which opened in the early 1900s. TJ Maxx changed its European-branch name to TK Maxx to avoid confusion. My first week, my boots broke, and my TK Maxx replacements have lasted me the entire trip.

STUDIO CITY, Calif. (AP) — A crewmember who was working on the Marvel Studios series “Wonder Man” died following an accident on set Tuesday morning at CBS Radford Studios in Studio City. The man, whose name was not made public, was a rigger who fell from the rafters, according to the trade publication Deadline, which first reported the news. Matthew D. Loeb, president of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, said the labor union was shocked and saddened. Those numbers were derived by combing through data from workplace and aviation safety investigations, court records and news accounts. Filming is set to begin next month on “Wonder Man,” which stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and was delayed by last year’s dual Hollywood strikes.

NEW YORK (AP) — Adam Neumann, the ousted co-founder of WeWork, is exploring a deal to buy back the office sharing company after expressing dismay over its bankruptcy process. According to Monday's letter, Neumann and his affiliates have been attempting to obtain information from WeWork necessary for a purchase offer since December but have been met with a “lack of engagement” from the company. Neumann founded WeWork with Miguel McKelvey back in 2010. That debacle led to the ousting of Neumann, whose erratic behavior and exorbitant spending spooked early investors. Japan’s SoftBank stepped in to keep WeWork afloat, acquiring majority control over the company.

Billionaire Adam Neumann is trying to buy back bankrupt real-estate company WeWork, which he founded in 2010 and was ousted from in 2019, DealBook reported Tuesday. Neumann had tried to arrange financing of up to $1 billion in October 2022 but was rebuffed by former CEO Sandeep Mathrani. WeWork advisors resisted Neumann's efforts but eventually suggested that Neumann provide DIP financing instead of a term sheet, according to the letter. Neumann stepped down in 2019 as the company faced mounting investor concerns over its corporate governance and valuation. Third Point, Neumann and Spiro did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment.

Flow has sought to buy WeWork or its assets, as well as provide bankruptcy financing to keep it afloat.

The Candidates Tournament to select a challenger for the World Chess Championship will be held in April in Toronto. The ensuing chaos led to criticism of the International Chess Federation, the game’s governing body, also known as FIDE. Six of the eight players in the Candidates Tournament were decided before December, leaving two places up for grabs and five players vying for them. One spot was for the player with the highest rating on FIDE’s list on Jan. 1 who had not already qualified. In an attempt to secure the remaining slots, some players entered last-minute or obscure tournaments that FIDE had not anticipated they would participate in.

Fried, who died Tuesday, joined the Harvard faculty in 1961 would go on to teach thousands of students in areas such as First Amendment and contract law. The Federalist Society has no partisan affiliation and takes no position in election campaigns, but it is closely aligned with Republican priorities. He was a polymath, and he was a patriot,” he wrote on the Federalist Society website. I hope you’ll take some time to reflect on his commitment to the Harvard Federalist Society and to students at Harvard Law School, which he held to the very end.”Though conservative, Fried was also remembered for his openness.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the visa restrictions and mentioned, among others, the marginalization of groups like the LGBT community in Uganda and civil society advocates in Zimbabwe. In June, the U.S. State Department imposed visa restrictions on Ugandan officials after the passage of the law. The State Department also previously put visa restrictions on Ugandan officials following the country's 2021 elections, which it called "flawed." Blinken also announced a new visa restriction policy for those he said were undermining democracy in Zimbabwe. "Anyone who undermines the democratic process in Zimbabwe - including in the lead-up to, during, and following Zimbabwe's August 2023 elections - may be found ineligible for U.S. visas under this policy," Blinken said.
