One day in June of last year, at a time when federal investigators were demanding security footage from former President Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, Yuscil Taveras shared an explosive secret. Mr. Taveras, who ran Mar-a-Lago’s technology department from a cramped work space in the basement of the sprawling Florida property, confided in an office mate that another colleague had just asked him, at Mr. Trump’s request, to delete the footage that investigators were seeking. Mr. Taveras later repeated that story to at least two more colleagues, who in turn shared it with others, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Before long, the story had ricocheted around the grounds of Mr. Trump’s gold-adorned private club and up the chain of command at Trump Tower in Manhattan, prompting Mr. Taveras’s superiors in New York to warn against deleting the tapes. But by then, Mr. Taveras had already balked at Mr. Trump’s request.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) did not sign an order canceling U.S. elections nor does it have the power to do so, contrary to social media posts citing an opinion article by a WEF contributor discussing the idea of average citizens being elected instead of politicians. The article does not discuss handing elections over to elites, however, but instead the possible outcomes of randomly selected leaders and choosing average citizens to lead instead of politicians using a sort of lottery system. Regardless, the op-ed does not reflect WEF policy, as the People’s Voice article says. The People’s Voice did not immediately respond to Reuters request for comment. The World Economic Forum did not sign an order to cancel U.S. elections.

WARSAW, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Poland's central bank cut its main interest rate by 75 basis points to 6.00% on Wednesday, in a shock decision ahead of October elections that sent the zloty currency tumbling against the euro. The National Bank of Poland (NBP) said it took the decision because it expects inflation to return to target faster than originally expected. It said that the adjustment to interest rates would be "conducive to meeting the NBP inflation target in the medium term". NBP Governor Adam Glapinski had previously signalled that a rate cut could come in September if inflation fell to single digits. "We have already said that it is too early for a rate cut, and certainly such an aggressive rate cut, when the prospects (of a slowdown) in inflation are still distant," said Piotr Bielski, director of the economic analysis department of Santander Bank Polska.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland's central bank lowered its interest rates by 75 basis points on Wednesday despite the country's double-digit inflation rate. The National Bank of Poland's monetary policy council announced that it was cutting the reference rate from 6.75% to 6%, and other interest rates by the same amount. Economists had been expecting a rate cut, but not such a large one. In conditions of high inflation, central banks tend to raise interest rates, a move that can help bring down inflation over time by discouraging consumption. Interest rate cuts, on the other hand, make financing cheaper and tends to encourage consumers and businesses to spend more.

Schultz wrote about how he helped craft the show's fictional presidential election. A former Obama White House aide who worked with writers on crafting the chaotic end to the show's fictional presidential election expressed hope that the brief chapter in the Roys' saga doesn't become real life. "With Succession, I can only hope we didn't predict the future and that, ultimately, life does not imitate art."

"Confidence is serious business, and the single most important differentiator in the workplace," Low-Kramen wrote in her book, which published in February. Stop apologizing unnecessarilyFor many people, saying "I'm sorry" after certain situations, even those that don't require an apology, is second nature. This is especially true for women, Low-Kramen wrote. Rather than saying 'I'm sorry, we need to reschedule the appointment,' say 'Thank you for working with my schedule.'" Instead, "slow it down, lower the pitch of your voice and turn up the volume" to be taken more seriously, Low-Kramen wrote.

When Barbara Corcoran started her real estate firm at age 23, she quickly noticed a difference between herself and her competitors. Corcoran bought a wool coat with a brown and white print, high collar and a $320 price tag before tax, she said. Despite its hefty price, Corcoran says the coat gave her the one thing she "desperately" needed at the time: confidence. "I wore my coat for the next four years, and it was the best investment I ever made. Nearly three decades after founding her firm, Corcoran sold it to brokerage firm NRT for $66 million.

Opinion | Elections Are Bad for Democracy
  + stars: | 2023-08-21 | by ( Adam Grant | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
In a study of elections worldwide, candidates who were rated by experts as having high psychopathy scores actually did better at the ballot box. In the United States, presidents assessed as having psychopathic and narcissistic tendencies were more persuasive with the public than their peers. A common explanation is that they’re masters of fearless dominance and superficial charm, and we mistake their confidence for competence. Sadly, it starts early: Even kids who display narcissistic personality traits get more leadership nominations and claim to be better leaders. Eliminate voting, and candidates with dark triad traits would be less likely than they are now to rise to the top.

CNN —New advancements in transplanting pig kidneys to humans, detailed by two separate research teams on Wednesday, mark key steps forward in the evolving field of xenotransplantation, the use of non-human tissues or organs to treat medical conditions in humans. Both research teams used genetically modified pig kidneys that were transplanted into recipients experiencing brain death in what is considered pre-clinical human research. Other studies have demonstrated that this can occur when pig kidneys are transplanted in non-human primates. The team has been monitoring pig kidney transplants in a brain-dead decedent – a man named Maurice Miller, known as Mo, who died of a brain tumor – for nearly two months. “Over the last 20 years, we’ve gained a lot of information about how pig kidneys work to replace the functions in primates.

By the time he reached middle age, Charlie McGonigal was living a comfortable suburban life. He had married and raised two children in a tidy Maryland neighborhood near the Capital Beltway. He coached his co-workers on an office softball team and went to church on Sundays. Apart from his outward image as a wholesome and responsible G-man, however, there was another, less visible side to Mr. McGonigal, federal prosecutors and his former colleagues say. But a close look at Mr. McGonigal’s life and career reveals an arc that appears to have little or nothing to do with espionage and international intrigue.

agent on Wednesday fatally shot a man in Provo, Utah, who officials said was armed and had threatened to assassinate President Biden just hours before the president was scheduled to speak in nearby Salt Lake City. Craig D. Robertson, 75, was also charged with threatening to shoot other elected officials, including Alvin L. Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney, as well as with making threats against law enforcement officials, according to court documents filed a day earlier in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City. The shooting comes at a moment of intense polarization in American politics. The three indictments of former President Donald J. Trump have offered fodder for supporters and allies, who have seized on his mounting legal peril to fan a narrative of a Justice Department weaponized against him and bent on derailing the Republican front-runner’s campaign to retake the White House.

Mr. Trump and congressional Republicans have accused Mr. Smith, without evidence, of pursuing a politically motivated investigation intended to destroy Mr. Trump’s chances of retaking the White House, including by leaking details of the case.

“Stop using weak language.” If you’re a woman, you’ve probably gotten this advice from a mentor, a coach or a teacher. So-called weak language is an unappreciated source of strength. Understanding why can explain a lot about the way women acquire power and influence — and how men do, too. It turns out that women who use weak language when they ask for raises are more likely to get them. For the men who asked for a raise, however, weak language neither helped nor hurt.

Chobani founder and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya went from working on a farm with little money to running a billion-dollar business — and he did it without sticking to a plan. "[When you stick to plans] you're creating some kind of rigid lines and not seeing the dimension of possibilities." Years later, Ulukaya came across an ad for a fully equipped yogurt factory — and buying it meant he needed a business plan. "I made my first business plan that I wrote for the Small Business Administration to [get a loan] to buy that whole factory...
