WorkThe Beatles new song "Now and Then" used AI to lift out John Lennon's voice   McCartney calls “Now and Then” the “last new” Beatles song, and it stands to make a bundle, with new pressings of the famous “red” and “blue” compilation albums up for grabs, as well as streaming royalties.

WorkWorkWorkDid American History X foreshadow the resurgence of white nationalism in the US?  What American History X failed to anticipate, in Campbell\'s view, is that \"snowballing [right-wing] extremism in America\" would flow into mainstream politics. Some commentators would argue the opposite is true – that it is extremism on the political left that has exacerbated racial division with critical race theory and \"woke\" policies. But as far as Beirich is concerned, American History X did presage the story of the US in the 21st Century – it just didn\'t go far enough. \"Many of the same views that made neo-Nazis pariahs in the 90s are now held by sitting members of Congress in the Republican Party, and that\'s something not even American History X saw coming.\" WorkWorkStarbucks unveils plan to add 17,000 locations by 2030, cut $3 billion in costs  At its investor day last September, Starbucks projected earnings per share growth of 15% to 20% annually over the next three years and annual same-store sales growth of 7% to 9%.

WorkWorkWorkJay Bilas: I liked the Bob Knight I knew  The complete picture of Bob Knight is complicated and more nuanced than it seems from the outside. He leaves this world as one of the great coaches in American sports history and one of its most compelling figures. He lived one of the richest basketball lives in the game\'s history, and is woven into the fabric of the game like few others. He won championships and gold medals, wrote books, and broke bread with people of so many different walks of life, from world leaders to taxi drivers. WorkWorkWorkWhy the Abortion Ballot Question in Ohio Is Confusing Voters  Kate Zernike is a national correspondent.

WorkLewiston Begins to Heal, One Touchdown at a Time  By the last few minutes of the game, Lewiston was 16 points ahead, too far for Edward Little to catch up. In the last few seconds, Mr. Randall, the quarterback, took a knee. He wanted to let the clock run down without trying to run up the score. WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkPrioritizing Investment Return Objectives  So, what does this all mean for you? Don’t be so focused on hitting your one single metric (10x growth in this case study), that you lose sight of the forest of through the trees. Would you rather be bragging about your 10x growth story that helped create $7.4MM, or your 5x growth story that helped created $72MM. I don’t know about you, but the latter certainly sounds a lot more appealing to me. Hopefully, you have a better grasp on when to focus on multiples or percentages of growth, and when to focus on the dollar growth instead. Good luck resetting your growth and return objectives and you will be celebrating all the way to the bank. WorkWorkNick Cave's Live Magic: A Skeptic Learns To Love Rock's Dark Prince  Ruth loved it all, and I loved that she did. But how could she not, right? Cave has lived so deeply - two of his sons died in recent years, and Cave has been a model of openheartedness in writing about and processing this grief. He is here to show you the survival is possible and that it's okay. All of it. Death, politics, pain, regret, rainy days, even differences in musical opinion with your beloved. Ruth found it all intoxicating. She found him surprisingly sexy, fascinatingly complex. WorkWorkCartier Bejewels The Final Season Of Billions  For those who have not watched Season 7 yet—It can be streamed on different channels. I, for one, decided to binge watch all of the episodes, which kept me glued to my TV and to see how Roach’s work and the Cartier pieces meshed together. WorkWorkQ&A: Jermaine Dupri Teams Up With Tidal To Celebrate Collaboration  Dupri: My advice would be, give it a try. That\'s the only thing that I could do. And as skeptical as I was, I still gave it a try, right? Because the one thing that people need to understand about music is that when you\'re in the studio, that\'s when you supposed to make mistakes. That\'s when you\'re supposed to pitch things. That\'s where if it don\'t work, nobody has to hear it. That\'s the one thing that\'s f**ked up about this generation of music makers is that they make music now that they feel like they gotta put out regardless if it\'s good or bad, if it\'s offbeat, whatever. If it\'s unmixed. They feel like they have to put it out because the internet needs it, right? I\'m there to tell them that if you are in the studio and you\'re working on something that you don\'t like, or it doesn\'t work, the collaboration doesn\'t work, it doesn\'t have to come out. It just, it was a situation you tried, you went through it, it didn\'t work. Keep it moving. That\'s my advice. WorkSohla El-Waylly On Cookbooks, Dan Levy And Becoming 'Ms. Breakfast'  With a second book inevitable ("thinking of the next one takes the stress away from launching this one!"), new breakfast-themed episodes of Ancient Recipes with Sohla being released, and a dedicated Breakfast Food Masterclass coming out in a few weeks ("apparently I'm like, the spokesperson for breakfast?"), it's fair to say another exciting new chapter, ever-so-appropriately, starts here for Sohla El-Waylly.

If you are serious about Mezcal, the Platinum and Gold medallists from the 2023 LVGSA are an excellent place to explore. WorkAmoako Boafo Exhibition at Denver Art Museum  “There’s a kind of tenderness,” Vicki and Kent Logan Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Denver Art Museum Rory Padeken told Forbes.com. “If we\'re thinking about histories of portraiture, those who receive their portraits are of a certain status in society and they\'re declaring something to the world–that\'s what portraiture is doing. (Boako’s portraits) are his friends and acquaintances or people he admires, and he\'s painting their portraits, but using his hands. They’re direct. What does it mean for an artist to directly touch the paper or canvas to render a body? It means you\'re imbuing the body with yourself.” WorkThe 10 US companies emitting the most carbon from industrial facilities  Southern Company, for instance, has 63% of its emissions that are potentially co-pollutants of combustion in areas with people living below the poverty line or by people in minority racial/ethnic groups. Berkshire Hathaway also has 50% of its emissions in poor communities and communities of color.

WorkWork'Crypto King' Sam Bankman-Fried guilty of FTX fraud  Before the collapse of his companies, he was known for hobnobbing with celebrities and appearing frequently in Washington and in the media, often in casual outfits and with a head of wild curls, to discuss the sector. WorkAI bot capable of insider trading and lying, say researchers  Mr Hobbhahn stressed that current models are not powerful to be deceptive \"in any meaningful way\", but \"it\'s not that big of a step from the current models to the ones that I am worried about, where suddenly a model being deceptive would mean something.\" WorkWorkApple sales dip again despite iPhone boost  It announced that the iPhone 15 would not feature its proprietary lightning charging port, after the European Union forced the change. Instead, it uses a USB-C cable as the \"universally-accepted standard\". WorkWork'I thought he was my friend but he was a loan shark’  \"The biggest reason people say they didn\'t come to us sooner is that they didn\'t know we existed,\" she said. \"We will do anything and everything to try and raise awareness. Come to us, we will help you.\" WorkNew mothers faced energy meter force-fittings  \"The reality is that forcing vulnerable people through a court process to recover energy debt is problematic enough, but it resulting in a court-sanctioned warrant for an energy firm to break into a home is barbaric. It must end now.\" WorkWorkWorkShell posts $6.2bn profit as oil prices rise again  Shell boss Wael Sawan, who took up his post in January, changed Shell\'s strategy to put more focus on oil and gas and announced plans to cut at least 15% of the workforce at its low-carbon solutions division.
