3 Ways To Counter Age Discrimination In Your Job Search - Forbes

My most pressing long term career question is regarding employment opportunities for those who do not accept the fact they must retire after some age, proposed by a local government or else, and the fact they are not anticipated to stay competitive starting from some certain age. I feel like, HR professionals are actively discussing D&I, AI, the post-pandemic word, future workplace, etc, and not an opportunity to leverage this category of individuals. There’s no wide-open discussions on fears, challenges and uncertainties, and how to overcome them in advance. – Head of Engineering

Late-career professional looking for a job? How to fight age discrimination in your job search

There are two separate issues in this reader’s question: 1) the external pressure on aging (e.g., a retirement age rule, prospective employers who assume that older means less competitive); and 2) the internal “fears, challenges and uncertainties”. Yes, it would be great if HR or senior leadership supported special initiatives to address late-career concerns, but you can’t wait for any one resource. Instead, when you plan your job search, reserve time and attention for navigating both the external and internal challenges that come late in your career.

Eyedrops From Major Brands May Cause Infection, F.D.A. Says - The New York Times

Target, CVS and Rite Aid are pulling products from shelves after federal investigators found unsanitary conditions and recommended a recall.

Federal health officials are advising consumers to stop using more than two dozen over-the-counter eyedrops products because of a potential risk of eye infection that may lead to partial vision loss or blindness.

The Food and Drug Administration issued an alert on Friday flagging 26 eye care products including eyedrops and gels from CVS Health, Leader (Cardinal Health), Rugby (Cardinal Health), Rite Aid, Target up&up and Velocity Pharma.

Trenches and tech on Ukraine’s southern front - The Economist

THE DRONE might not spot you, but if it does, there is only one thing to do: hide well, and hide quickly. “Major”, a 25-year-old drone pilot operating near the hottest front lines of the south, in Zaporizhia province, says your chances are not good if an enemy pilot has you in his sights. The drone can come from behind your own positions, and masquerade as your own. The cameras are not great. But running at speeds of 150-160kph, it will always outpace you. “If your cover is poor, then you are likely a dead man,” he says. Major has survived a pursuit four times, the last time in mid-October. Two of his closest comrades have been less fortunate. “God, not physics, decides if you survive,” he says.

In a war increasingly dominated by aerial killing-machines, the hunters are rapidly becoming the hunted. The controllers for most drones leave their own electronic trace, and if a pilot isn’t careful, the enemy can home in on them. “Hummer,” a commander in Ukraine’s 47th brigade, also operational along the Zaporizhia front, says the Russians fire everything they have once they identify a target. They can use their own strike drones, but they also apply high-precision artillery, mines, glide bombs, and even, on occasion, saboteur groups. Major says he has lost 15% of his colleagues over the last few months. Hummer says his figures are lower, but refuses to elaborate.

Ukraine is the pioneer of the first-person-view (FPV) drones: craft that are flown, video-game-like, by goggle-wearing pilots with real-time manoeuvrability. The drones can cost just a few hundred dollars to build, but can deliver explosives capable of destroying or incapacitating equipment with a value of millions. In a day, a single operator can take out a dozen high-value assets, with corresponding human losses. That has made the drone pilot an even more prized kill than a sniper, one front-line commander suggests. “A lot of people want to become drone pilots because they think the work is further back and safer. The reality is that it’s extremely dangerous to be flying battlefield drones.”

A New West African Security Pact Is Bound to Fail - Foreign Policy

Timothy Garton Ash’s latest book traces what went wrong—and holds some lessons for the continent’s future.

As Israel shifts from an air-only approach to one involving its ground forces in Gaza, it will face new challenges and dilemmas.

Large-scale immigration—likely from Africa—is the only thing that can prevent Europe from becoming an empty amusement park.
