Talk Marina Abramovic Thinks the Pain of Love Is Hell on Earth“I’m all for heroism,” Marina Abramovic says. You can find bliss and be happy; you don’t need to be with somebody you don’t love. But if you have unconditional love, general love for the planet, human beings, the rocks, the trees, everything else, this is the love that nourishes. It is important not to fear pain, to understand pain and accept it. You ever have love pain?

During a recent visit to a National Guard training facility outside Peekskill, N.Y., Mr. Card, an Army reservist, had a run-in with officials and was later evaluated at a mental health facility, according to a senior law enforcement official. But the Maine commissioner of public safety said on Saturday that he had no information to suggest that Mr. Card had ever been forcibly committed for mental health treatment. It is unclear whether he had admitted to his mental health issues in previous forms that are typically required at the time of purchasing the weapons. The staff at the gun shop waited until Mr. Card signed the document before declining to give him the silencer. Mr. Card, in response, “was very cordial, very polite,” Mr. LaChapelle said.

Amazon.com Inc | ReutersThe initial third-quarter report on gross domestic product showed consumer spending zooming higher by 4% percent a year, after inflation, the best in almost two years. How is this possible with interest rates on everything from credit cards to cars and homes soaring? But they were below expectations at electric-vehicle leader Tesla , which blamed high interest rates, and at Ford . "And as interest rates rise, the proportion of that monthly payment that is interest increases." At American Express , which saw U.S. consumer spending rise 9%, the mild surprise was the company's disclosure that young consumers are adding Amex cards faster than any other group.

Bryant West was halfway through high school in Pascagoula, Mississippi, when he dropped out in 2020. But in every state reporting high school graduation rates by gender, research shows female students graduate at higher rates. “I was lashing out because I wasn’t OK,” said Nichols, who ended up leaving high school after ninth grade. Still, the urban district posted a 10-point graduation gender gap in 2022 (84%-74%) and an 11-point gap (84%-73%) in 2021. The graduation gender gap “is harder to explain than some of the other disparities we see,” PRB’s Jarosz said.

Sheriff Merry declined to comment in detail about the reported threats, and it was unclear whether any other departments that received the sheriff’s alert had tried to locate Mr. Card. It was not immediately clear how often such alerts are issued; two law enforcement leaders in Maine said on Saturday that they receive many and did not recall receiving the alert about Mr. Card. Mr. Card enlisted in the Reserve in 2002 and was trained as a petroleum supply specialist, whose work involved shipping and storing fuel; he did not serve on any combat deployments. Earlier on Saturday, the commissioner of the public safety department said that Mr. Card had been paranoid and may have been hearing voices. Mr. Sauschuck said he had no information to suggest that Mr. Card had ever been forcibly committed for mental health treatment.

The most successful people in life can recognize a window of opportunity, and know when and how to seize it. It's not unlike surfing, according to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. A "surfer's mindset" can help you succeed in both life and business, Ohanian told students in a keynote address at his alma mater, the University of Virginia, last week. Afterward, you might "paddle back out ... and wait five hours for another good wave," he continued. "That mindset is the right mindset for a life well-lived," he said.

The New York Republican was scheduled to appear at a courthouse on Long Island to enter a plea to the new allegations. Santos has been free on bail while he awaits trial. He has denied any serious wrongdoing and blamed irregularities in his government regulatory filings on his former campaign treasurer, Nancy Marks, who he claims “went rogue.”Marks in turn has implicated Santos. Santos has continued to represent his New York district in Congress since he was charged, rejecting calls for his resignation from several fellow New York Republicans. During his successful 2022 run for office, Santos was buoyed by an uplifting life story that was later revealed to be rife with fabrications.

Michael J. Bragman, a Democratic powerhouse who was deposed as the majority leader of the New York State Assembly and retired from politics after mounting an unsuccessful and politically suicidal coup against the speaker, Sheldon Silver, in 2000, died on Oct. 13 in Syracuse, N.Y. Mr. Bragman exerted a profound influence in the Assembly. He was credited with successfully sponsoring more than 300 bills and pumping some $200 million in pork-barrel funding for local projects in his Central New York State district, which was centered in Syracuse. The legislation, which became known as Jenna’s Law, had already been approved in the Republican-controlled State Senate but was stalled in the Assembly. Mr. Silver was swayed after meeting with the victim’s parents and Mr. Bragman.

And Republican Rep. George Santos' extensive legal troubles will make it harder for the GOP to keep that Long Island-based district in the Republican column. Some already sounded resigned to serving in the minority during the past week's ups and downs in finding a new speaker, while others voiced hopes the passage of time will make the past three weeks a distant memory. This is Republicans fighting with Republicans, bullying Republicans, even threatening each other. That left House Republicans with the choice of funding the government or shutting it down over their opposition to the healthcare law, and they chose the latter. Further turmoil will only feed into the Democratic argument that House Republicans are incapable of governing.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Josh Allen threw two touchdown passes and ran for another — shrugging off aggravating an injury to his throwing shoulder — and the Buffalo Bills hung on to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24-18 on Thursday night. After a week of questions about his “low-energy” approach and Buffalo's slow-starting offense, Allen came through for the Bills (5-3), throwing for 324 yards on 31-of-40 passing. Buffalo’s defense limited the Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield-led attack to less than 200 yards of offense through three quarters and 302 overall. But it took Tampa Bay 17 plays and 7:21 to march 92 yards for that score. Allen took advantage, topping 300 yards for the 23rd time in his career.

Evvie comes of age in the Jim Crow South, and she is in possession of a volatile magic.

She learns about her powers under the tutelage of her Grandma Atti, and their scenes are some of the most captivating in the book. Evvie eventually finds out that her magic was born as a defense against the pain wrought on her ancestors by slavery and white supremacy, and as she learns to control her powers, she must also navigate typical teen things — complicated friendships, big-sister responsibilities and blossoming young love.
