How Netflix Made Magic Look Real in ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’ The series, which will be released this week, adapts the novel for the screen for the first time. The author always refused, insisting that his novel, in which the real and fantastical converge, could never be rendered onscreen. Built by Netflix from the ground up for the first-ever screen adaptation of the novel, the town has real birds nesting in its trees and dogs wandering its narrow streets. To recreate Macondo, Netflix also relied on museums, documents, researchers and historians.

As a single mom having another baby wasn't something that seemed possible. When I met my now-husband we talked about another baby, but the age gap felt too big with my son. When I met my husband, we talked a lot about having another baby, but by the time we got married, my son was already 8 years old. That meant that even if I got pregnant right away, my son would be nearly 10 by the time I had another baby. I am no longer ashamed to admit that I'm already too tired for a second child.

Omar Sanadiki/APPresident-elect Donald Trump weighed in Saturday on the escalating situation in Syria, where opposition forces have reportedly seized control of several cities and are advancing on Damascus. The president-elect also blamed the Obama administration for failing to enforce the 2013 “red line” that stated that Syria’s use of chemical weapons would mean US military action. Reiterating his “America First” stance, Trump argued that Syria is not the US’ fight. While in office, Trump ordered the launch of a military strike in 2017 on a Syrian government airbase in response to a chemical weapons attack that killed dozens of civilians. His decision at the time marked a dramatic shift in his position on whether the US should take military action against the Syrian president’s regime — which Trump opposed during his first campaign for president.

“My POV on the risks and benefits of bitcoin hasn’t changed much, if at all,” said Samuel Deane, president and CEO of Deane Wealth Management, a financial advisory firm. While he’s a long-term bitcoin investor himself, clients who’ve added crypto to their portfolios are “doing it on their own after we establish the proper guardrails,” he said. “First understand the basics of bitcoin as a decentralized digital currency,” he advised, which includes taking stock of its volatility. He said he advises first-time crypto investors not to allocate more than 2% of their portfolios to bitcoin. For the crypto industry, “Gensler’s departure in and of itself was a positive,” said Isaac Boltansky, a director of policy research at the financial firm BTIG.
