WorkWorkRussia-Ukraine war at a glance: what we know on day 601 of the invasion  The US treasury secretary, Janet Yellen, said support for Ukraine remained a “top priority” for the US and Europe, reaffirming the Biden administration’s commitment to support Kyiv “for as long as it takes”. Yellen told reporters that Joe Biden would submit a supplemental funding request for Ukraine and Israel “as soon as we have a functional House of Representatives”. WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkTim Scott’s Super PAC Pulls the Plug on Fall Ads  Maggie Haberman is a senior political correspondent and the author of “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America.” She was part of a team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for reporting on President Trump’s advisers and their connections to Russia.

After the sale was finalized, Darden said it would nominate nine directors, conceding three seats to Starboard. But shareholders voted for all 12 of Starboard’s nominees, and Starboard CEO Jeffrey Smith was appointed independent non-executive chairman. At the annual meeting, Smith said: “I love Olive Garden unlimited breadsticks.” WorkHow Canva got clear on its values and added empathy to its processes  Overall, there are endless possibilities brought to life by cultivating a culture of empathy. The ability to empathize makes it possible to guide solutions to problems when the outcome isn’t obvious. Experiencing empathy at work builds strong relationships and environments where people feel they can bring their full selves to work, empowering diverse perspectives and ideas. WorkWorkWorkWorkThe incredible power of blue LEDs  At this microscopic scale, it\'s actually the colour red that is most challenging, says Dr Strickland. Red micro LEDs suffer more from inefficiencies at the edge of the light-producing component. Since the device is so small, its edge has an exaggerated impact, making these problems more noticeable. WorkFrench hotel spent €1,500 getting rid of bedbugs  Finding money to pay for bedbug detection systems may seem like a stretch too far for many hotel owners. Yet the potential fall in revenue if you gain a reputation for a bedbug outbreak also needs to be taken into account, argues Spotta\'s Mr Fryars. WorkWill Sam Bankman-Fried take the stand to save himself?  \"As we approach the defense (sic) case and the critical decision of whether Mr. Bankman-Fried will testify, the defense has a growing concern that because of Mr. Bankman-Fried\'s lack of access to Adderall he has not been able to concentrate at the level he ordinarily would and that he will not be able to meaningfully participate in the presentation of the defense case,\" lawyers Mark Cohen and Christian Everdell wrote. WorkWorkWorkWorkStark Gender Imbalance at U.S. Opera Companies Extends Beyond Podiums  In August of 2021, Eun Sun Kim became the musical director at the San Francisco Opera, making her the first woman to hold that title at a major company. And at the Metropolitan Opera, where only one percent of the conductors during the 16-season study period were women, more than 20 percent of this season’s conductors are women, with several prominent conductors making their company debuts, including Marin Alsop, Oksana Lyniv and Xian Zhang.

In August, the opioid manufacturer Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals filed for bankruptcy for a second time in three years. Last year, it had promised to pay $1.7 billion, but after making one payment and missing a second one this June, it devised a plan with its creditors to cancel a majority of the $1.25 billion that the company still owed under the original settlement agreement. In exchange, Mallinckrodt paid $250 million ahead of its second bankruptcy. WorkIt’s Not OK to Police Co-Workers’ Pronouns  Regardless, it is unpleasant, at best, to work in moldy, vermin-infested spaces, and it is not OK. You may have to take your complaints beyond the university. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, for example, has guidelines about vermin control specifying that “a continuing and effective extermination program shall be instituted where their presence is detected.” The agency also has standards for mold, air quality and really everything that comprises a safe and healthy work environment. If the university wants to kick the can internally in perpetuity, it’s time for you to kick the can to a higher authority. I’d also note that campus newspapers usually do really good work with stories about facilities in disrepair and indifferent administrations. I hope there is some relief on the horizon. WorkFlorida Deputies Charged With Defrauding Covid Funds of Nearly $500,000  Numerous other people have been arrested and charged with misusing pandemic relief funds, including a Miami man who spent those funds to buy a Lamborghini, jewelry and clothes, and a political consultant and daughter of a former South Florida mayor who was sentenced to 20 months in federal prison for lying on a Covid loan application to receive $300,000.
