Here's the email: Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. My husband is telling me I'm being petty about something, but I think my point is very valid, so we thought we would bring it to you. I recently did my weekly grocery shopping and one of the items was a bag of my favorite potato chips. I have made it a point to always go to a register with a cashier instead of self-checkout. Anyway, I checked out with the cashier and another person was bagging my groceries. When I got home, I found my potato chips underneath a bag of apples and the chips were crushed to a certain extent. I was really ticked off. I wanted to go back to the store and get another bag or a refund. My husband told me I was being petty and that the chips will taste the same if they're small pieces or big chips. I think I'm right, what do you th...

The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the acquisition of joint control of Weltec Holding GmbH (‘Weltec') of Germany by DWS Alternatives Global Limited (‘DWS') of the UK and Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft Aktiengesellschaft in München (‘MunichRe') of Germany.The transaction relates primarily to the operation of biogas and biomethane plants and the trading of its outputs, including electricity, heat and fertiliser in Germany.The Commission concluded that the notified transaction would not raise competition concerns, given the limited impact in the European Economic Area and the companies' limited combined market position resulting from the proposed transaction. The notified transaction was examined under the simplified merger review procedure.More information is available on the Commission's competition website, in the public case register under the case number M.11265.

Russell: Careers over kids? A lot of adults look at parenthood the wrong way

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:27:02 GMT

Motherhood, as almost any mother will tell you, is one of the hardest things women do. Especially because she’s rarely doing just that. Most women are juggling it all: Careers, intimate relationships, friendships, health, home, and then, of course, the kids. This could be part of the reason why a new Pew Research report, “Public Has Mixed Views on the Modern American Family,” showed that men and women are choosing their careers over having children. But it’s not the whole picture, and it’s too bad for society and for potential parents. Only about 26% think having kids is an essential part of fulfillment and just 23% think being married remains part of a key component of happiness. Americans now think high job satisfaction and close friendships are more fulfilling than being married or being a mom or dad. In fact, over 70% of people said having a career will help them achieve life fulfillment. This is unfortunate. There’s two things at play here, although both may...

Tomorrow may be too late.” The notice was marked, “For release Tuesday.”Today’s West led the ten of spades against 3NT, and South won in dummy and let the ten of clubs ride. He hoped for five clubs, two spades, two hearts and at least one diamond. But when West took the king and led another spade, South had only eight tricks, and when East got in with the ace of diamonds, the defense ran the spades for down one.ACE APPEARSSouth mistimed. At Trick Two, dummy should lead a low diamond. When East’s ace appears, South can win four diamonds, two spades, two hearts and one club.Suppose East played a low diamond. If South’s king held, he could switch to clubs. If instead South’s king lost to West, South could win the spade return and take the queen of diamonds; if the jack fell, he would be home. If both defenders played low diamonds, South could ...
