A study finds that dorm-style housing could be an efficient path to convert vacant office space. The study comes as office vacancies rise and housing supply remains constrained. The report comes as companies reevaluate their need for office space in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The national office vacancy rate is set to rise to around 20% by the end of this year, according to commercial real estate firm CBRE. The report comes as the number of office spaces set for residential conversions is on the rise, up to 55,000 this year.

"The global battle against inflation is almost won," the IMF report trumpeted, even as it called for "a policy triple pivot" to address interest rates, government spending, and reforms and investment to boost productivity. The fund kept its global growth estimate at 3.2% for 2024 and 2025 — which it called "stable yet underwhelming." Market volatility among key downside risksHeightened financial volatility is another threat to global growth, the IMF report said. Further challenges to global financial markets could come in the final stretch of the fight against inflation. The IMF forecasts global growth will rise 3.1% annually at the end of the 2020s, the lowest level in decades.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday rejected disbarred lawyer Michael Cohen’s last-ditch effort to revive a civil rights claim against his former boss Donald Trump. But constitutional claims against individual federal officials are notoriously difficult to bring as a result of a line of Supreme Court rulings. In a 2022 case called Egbert v. Boule, the Supreme Court effectively put “Bivens claims” on life support in a ruling that tossed out allegations against a Border Patrol agent. A federal judge in New York and the 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals both highlighted the Supreme Court’s recent ruling in throwing out Cohen’s claims. Unless Congress passes legislation to allow a form of Bivens claims, there are few legal avenues to seeking accountability when federal officials, including thousands of law enforcement officials, commit unlawful acts.

In September, armed militants killed a police officer protecting a polio vaccination site in the northwest city of Bannu, prompting protests.

What's more, many pharmacies serve as a convenient destination for all sorts of essentials, from aspirin to mascara. Big chains like Walgreens and CVS make their money in two main ways: selling prescriptions in the back of their stores and selling everyday goods out front. As Walgreens and CVS stores have proliferated over the past decade or so, many of their locations are basically right on top of each other. On the other end of the business, pharmacies are expensive to run. In the current landscape of commoditized pharmacies, there's no such thing as personalized service.

HONG KONG — China is strengthening enforcement with nations such as the United States to combat smuggling and other serious crimes, state media reported Friday, citing the country’s National Immigration Administration. Smugglers and cross-border criminal groups at home and abroad have recently been “deceiving some people to participate in smuggling activities,” the administration said, without giving a specific time period or clarifying whether the smuggling involved goods, people or both. The United States has this year deported Chinese people who sought to enter the country illegally back to China with charter flights. The difficulty of obtaining U.S. visas and the economic aftershocks of China’s Covid-19 lockdowns led to a sharp increase in Chinese nationals presenting at the U.S.-Mexico border. That is more than the 52,700 who crossed in the entire 2023 fiscal year that ended in October.

Cancer drains individuals of their physical, emotional, and financial health. In a study from the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, nearly half of cancer patients and survivors reported being extraordinarily burdened by medical debt. Financial hardship caused by cancer can also contribute to "financial toxicity," wherein the cost of treatment forces individuals to make tradeoffs that impact their chances of survival. Not only does financial toxicity of cancer care affect the individual, it can also negatively impact their employer. Some may not be aware they're eligible for screening, and stigma and fear associated with cancer screening hinders some people from seeking care.
