CNN —Andrew Garfield is setting the record straight… sort of. The “We Live in Time” actor recently clarified some ongoing speculation that he’s signed on for the fourth installment of Marvel’s Tom Holland-led “Spider-Man” franchise, telling GQ UK in an interview published Thursday that it’s simply not true. Garfield’s and Maguire’s appearances in the 2021 MCU film were met with much enthusiasm from the “Spider-Man” fandom and beyond, making “No Way Home” the top-grossing film of that year. “If it felt in line with my soul and was gonna be fun,” he said. “Maybe I’m gonna have like five kids at some point, and I’m gonna need to start saving up for the school tuition or something.”

☆ What to know about Turo, the app both trucks used in New Orleans and Las Vegas incidents came from
▼ + stars: | 2025-01-02 | by ( Clare Duffy | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

New York CNN —This week’s deadly incidents in New Orleans and Las Vegas have thrust Turo, a car rental platform, into the spotlight, after the cars used in both attacks were rented through its marketplace. That means that unlike traditional rental car companies, Turo doesn’t need to shell out to purchase and maintain a fleet of cars. And it often doesn’t face similar regulations and consumer protections of a traditional car rental company, nor do the people renting out those cars through Turo. Turo's business soared at the end of the Covid-19 pandemic, when traditional rental car prices were higher. Turo’s business grew rapidly in the wake of the pandemic – as travelers began getting back on roads, but didn’t want to pay high prices from traditional rental car companies.

I've seen many people end the year feeling like they failed or didn't accomplish enough — and I've been there, too. I've coached people through layoffs and those who didn't achieve the promotion they were aiming for. If things didn't work out this year, you might not need to change the goal but simply take a different approach. If you didn't get the promotion you were hoping for or didn't land the job you wanted, ask yourself if there's an alternative way to achieve that goal. If you're looking for a new job, identify your dream companies and build a strategy using specific steps to get there.

▼ + stars: | 2024-12-31 | by ( Paulina Likos | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

We initiated our position in Home Depot in early September , betting that falling mortgage rates could spark activity in the languishing housing sector. Despite two more Fed rate cuts for a total of 100 basis points, or 1 percentage point, of easing in 2024, the 10-year Treasury yield remained elevated. If mortgage rates drop below 6%, the company's comparable sales should return to positive territory in time, reversing the weakness in big-ticket projects. But there is a risk that longer-term bond yields — which mortgage rates track more closely — will continue to rise.
