WorkArgentina pulls out of plans to join Brics bloc   It is battling soaring inflation, with prices rising by about 150% over the last year. It is also struggling with low cash reserves and high government debt, while 40% of the population is living below the poverty line. WorkOpinion | Trump Should Not Be Disqualified by an Ambiguous Clause  When Congress passed the 14th Amendment, there wasn’t a person in the Senate or House who worried about loyal Americans electing a former rebel like Jefferson Davis as president. Instead, Republicans feared that the leaders of the rebellion would use their local popularity to disrupt Republican Reconstruction policy in Congress or in the states. Section 3 expressly addressed these concerns and did so without denying loyal Americans their right to choose a president.

WorkProsecutors say they will not pursue second Sam Bankman-Fried trial  \"Certainly, there may be some mitigation here. Sam Bankman-Fried is very young. The judge may take that into consideration. Bernie Madoff went to jail for 150 years when he was obviously much older - with limited productive years left,\" Yadav said of the Madoff comparison. Work'I feel like a criminal for quitting': nurses in the US fight 'stay or pay' agreements  A spokesperson for CommuniCare said in an email: "Our company has spent over $15m in expenses to bring the nurses to the United States. Many of the nurses bring valuable skills with them to the position and we are investing in the nurses through education and training, so they are valuable contributors to the quality of care that CommuniCare is committed to consistent with our core values. Although many have good intentions, unfortunately some of the nurses have taken advantage of the system to enter the country. After receiving bonuses from other healthcare facilities, they leave without the willingness to provide reimbursement for the expenses that the company paid to bring them to the United States. Our company honored the commitment. They however were under contract and broke it."

Theo Hernández is one the club would love to commit. The France left-back has been sensational since joining the club from Real Madrid and with his contract expiring in 2026, a longer deal is likely required. Mike Maignan is another that has been consistent since joining from Lille, and the France goalkeeper is due for a reward. He\'s still only 27 and has yet to hit his peak. -- Cartlidge. WorkWorkDr. A's weekly risers and fallers: Ivica Zubac, Giannis Antetokounmpo make the list  D\'Angelo Russell, PG/SG, Lakers (87.8%): Russell has been just a top-160 player over the past two weeks and is reeling after being demoted to the Lakers\' bench last week. Even when you factor in all the games he started in December, he has averaged just 10.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.4 3-pointers for the month, and the numbers are only going to get worse. He could get traded at the deadline (or before) but where he lands is anyone\'s guess. And holding him and hoping for a good outcome doesn\'t seem like a great idea right now. He\'s literally clogging up the veins of fantasy teams and managers in standard 12-team leagues should feel somewhat confident about dropping Russell for a hot free agent, if one is available. The Lakers are moving on from D-Lo, and fantasy managers should think about doing so too. WorkWorkIn Maine, Questions Over Decision to Push Trump Off the Ballot  This sprawling, rural state of 1.3 million people is often seen as politically divided, between its wealthier, more liberal-leaning southern and coastal portions, and its less populous, more conservative western and northern expanses. Hillary Clinton won the state in 2016, as President Biden did in 2020. But as one of just two states that can divide its four Electoral College votes between candidates, Maine did so in each of the last two elections, awarding one vote to Mr. Trump in 2016 and one in 2020 based on his robust support in one large voting district. WorkWorkWorkWorkThis Body Butter at Sephora Doesn’t Really Attract Spiders, Right?  “To identify and chemically characterize a pheromone entails a lot of hard work, and every species has its own unique chemical cocktail (like spider venoms),” Dr. Hormiga said. “For the story to have an element of initial credibility, the chemicals in the cream (by chance alone) would be attracting only mature males of a single species.” WorkWorkWorkWorkHow to unlock income on autopilot  Today’s email was written by Catherine Baab-Muguira, who covers money and culture for outlets around the world (and actively listens to Madonna at the gym). It was edited and produced by Morgan Haefner (who feels pretty passive about New Year’s resolutions). WorkNew Year Honours 2024: Tracking tech pioneer is appointed OBE  Originally from Sri Lanka, Dr Sithamparanathan studied at the University of Sheffield before embarking on a PhD at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, where he developed his tracking system.

Cox, a researcher who has written about the new collar economy. But he added that “new collar” might also be a clever term to downplay workers’ anxieties, by framing the changing labor market and tech companies’ ventures as more utopia, less “The Terminator.” WorkWorkThe State of Deals  Michael de la Merced joined The Times as a reporter in 2006, covering Wall Street and finance. Among his main coverage areas are mergers and acquisitions, bankruptcies and the private equity industry.

In the meantime, they\'ll be making necessary preparations, such as hiring independent board members and spending on IT and accounting to make sure they\'re ready.

WorkWorkWorkRussia Launched a Large and Complex Air Attack on Ukraine  The tack — faking the start of a new year, or simply partying early — is one that will be used this year by parents and others who simply like to go to bed early.

WorkWillie Ruff, Jazz Missionary and Professor, Dies at 92  Late in his life, Mr. Ruff recalled that his turn to education seemed almost predestined. When he was in second grade, W.C. Handy, the composer and musician known as “the father of the blues,” who was from nearby Florence, Ala., visited his class. He played trumpet for the students and talked to them about “how important it was to continue our education and hold up our heritage and our culture,” Mr. Ruff told Yale in 2017. “He said that it’s not from royalty or from the highborn that music comes, but it is often from those who are the farthest down in society.” WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkTrump Request To Put Defamation Trial On Hold Rejected  By entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you\'re agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
