The surging floodwaters from Hurricane Milton poured in through the windows late Wednesday and their refrigerator slowly floated away. Even after floodwaters subside, the stress and anxiety can lead to lingering mental health challenges. Storms can exacerbate existing mental health problems or lead to new ones. Concerns about the mental health effects of back-to-back disasters come as researchers predict more frequent extreme weather events. But research suggests the hurricanes will make people more vulnerable to mental health problems and likely make it harder for them to recover, she said.

MUNICH, Germany — A night at the opera conjures images of elegant outfits and spectacular vocals. But at one German opera house, 18 audience members required medical treatment after watching recent performances featuring explicit lesbian sex scenes, piercing, and lots of blood. The opera, Sancta, premiered at the Mecklenburg state theatre in Schwerin in May. It was based on the controversial 1920s opera Sancta Susanna, whose story follows a nun facing her repressed desires. The new version of Sancta, directed by Austrian choreographer Florentina Holzinger, shows naked nuns roller-skating on a half-pipe and a wall of crucified unclothed bodies.

The unprecedented destruction Hurricane Helene has wreaked on western North Carolina could take months, if not years, to rebuild. “We are always playing like we’re one point down,” a Trump campaign official said. A Trump campaign official pointed to efforts to expand the Trump tent with surrogates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard and Iowa Gov. The Harris campaign also hosted community meals that fed 120 families, and it is organizing similar events, spending more than $30,000 on relief efforts. Ultimately, after Biden toured North Carolina, Harris visited once in her official capacity after she visited Georgia to underscore relief efforts.

☆ Despite Trump’s embrace of Orbán, Senate Republicans sound alarms over Hungary’s democratic backsliding
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-11 | by ( Morgan Rimmer | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

Washington CNN —If there is one area where senior Senate Republicans have chosen to break with former President Donald Trump, it is his embrace of Hungary’s far-right Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. He added, “Hungary also continues to disregard the concerns raised by its allies and partners about deepening its ties with China. Orbán has endorsed Trump, and Trump has touted the prime minister’s backing, even noting it during September’s presidential debate. GOP Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina restarted the U.S. Senate NATO Observer Group in 2018, co-chairing the group alongside Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire. This led Tillis and Shaheen to introduce a Senate resolution condemning Hungary’s democratic backsliding and its delay in allowing Sweden to join the alliance.

Braun, known for his Emmy-winning role as the bumbling, awkward Greg Hirsch on HBO's "Succession," stars as both Jim Henson and Andy Kaufman in "Saturday Night."

And Chris Wyant, a Midwest native who also worked on those presidential campaigns, is now helping Harris in Michigan. These advisers are heavy hitters, having held some of the highest-level positions in previous presidential campaigns.

Washington CNN —Republicans are fighting a war against misinformation to keep their constituents safe as they brace for Hurricane Milton to make landfall in Florida, including being willing to point the finger at members of their own party — and their presidential nominee. Greene has stood by her comments, posting a meme and link to a Gateway Pundit article she says backs up her claims. “Former President Trump told us that the people in Springfield are eating dogs and cats, alright? He likewise said that FEMA money, our emergency money, instead of helping the people that are being hit by the hurricane is being used to help illegals,” he said at an event in Utah earlier this week. Ron DeSantis, a Republican who challenged Trump in this cycle’s Republican presidential primary, also warned residents in the path of a hurricane to ignore online misinformation.

Nvidia stock climbed 4% on Tuesday, extending its rally to 14% in five days. The chipmaker's market value soared by $400 billion — more than Costco is worth. Its $400 billion increase in value within a week is worth underscoring. Costco, which generated $254 billion of revenue and $7.4 billion of net income last year, is worth less than that.

All four drugs are in a class of wildly popular weight loss drugs known as GLP-1s. In the United Kingdom, authorities last year seized hundreds of counterfeit Ozempic pens — insulin pens that had been relabeled as Ozempic. Counterfeit weight loss drugs have serious health risks, according to the pharmaceutical companies and federal officials. Counterfeiters are already trying to cash in on a weight loss drug that the company hasn't even put on the market yet: retatrutide. But it's also one of the epicenters of the lucrative counterfeit drug trade, according to U.S. authorities who track counterfeit drugs.

Amazon's cash balance is expected to reach almost $400 billion by 2027, far outpacing tech rivals. AdvertisementAmazon's ballooning cash balance is drawing Wall Street's attention. By 2027, Amazon is forecast to have almost $400 billion in cash, far outpacing its Big Tech rivals.

"Customers shopping at Whole Foods Market today are looking for natural and organic products," Varadarajan said during a presentation on Wednesday. With our micro fulfillment center, we can reduce the need for our customers to visit different stores or make multiple online orders." Amazon has for years angled to gobble up a bigger share of the grocery market.

Spotify's HR chief told Raconteur that the company will maintain its work-from-anywhere policy. AdvertisementAmazon might be ordering employees back to the office 5 days a week, but don't expect Spotify to follow suit. Spotify's latest reaffirmation of its WFA policy bucks the current trend of companies pushing to get employees in the office more days a week. Many executives and leaders have attributed their RTO mandates to increased productivity and collaboration when employees work together in the office. "Over time, this drawback could dramatically undermine the character and culture you want to promote in your company," Dimon added.
