How patients are using technology to kick-start a healthcare revolution People navigating the healthcare system can feel like they’re trapped in a labyrinth. They fumble through dark passageways and blind alleys, hand outstretched and each step tentative. All the while, they fear the next corner will hide another monster — disease, injury, or financial ruin — or, perhaps as bad, another dead end.
That’s how Susannah Fox, author of Rebel Health, describes the reality many face in today’s healthcare system, a reality that can be especially dark for those living with a rare condition.

 “In the relationship that the kingdom and the U.S. have had, there have been multiple highs and multiple lows,” she said during a recent interview in the American English of a person who grew up in the United States from a young age. “And part of my responsibility was to remind everybody in America what the highs looked like, and really work collaboratively to get ourselves back there.”
WorkHealth Insurers’ Lucrative, Little-Known Alliance: 5 Takeaways

 “We’re seeing what everyone else is seeing,”said Adam Siegel, whose restaurant, Lupi & Iris, is finalizing contracts on two 100-plate brunches but has not seen the complete restaurant buyouts he was expecting. “There’s no sense of security that it will move forward in the way that most conventions move forward.”
WorkHow Gaza Protesters Are Making Life Difficult for Democratic Leaders
 “If you are now organizing people to walk away from supporting the president, then you are now de facto supporting and helping Trump,” Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, a Democrat who has disappointed progressives with his unflinching support of Israel, said in an interview this past week. “If you’re going to play with fire that way, then you need to own the burn.” WorkGazing Skyward, and Awaiting a Moment of Awe
 Amid the rush to purchase eclipse glasses to protect one’s eyes and to check if clouds will disrupt the view, a deeper human experience is unfolding. The eclipse taps into a primal emotion, and evokes for many a sort of mystical moment and childlike wonder, as awareness of the celestial encompasses the earth. It is a present reminder to everyone, on the same day, that life can be magical.
WorkIn Battle Over Health Care Costs, Private Equity Plays Both Sides
 Often, when someone gets insurance through an employer and sees a doctor outside the plan’s network, the insurer routes the bill to MultiPlan to recommend an amount to pay.

WorkTrump Fund-Raiser Rakes In More Than $50.5 Million, Campaign Says
 Mr. Trump’s event, just down the road from his home at Mar-a-Lago, was in some ways a less flashy affair than its Democratic antecedent, one that traded Hollywood star power and New York City energy for a warmer clime, an abundance of palm trees and the manicured lawns typical of an island refuge for the moneyed elite.
WorkWorkCan Minor League Baseball Survive Its Real Estate Problems?
 Nor are the Emeralds the only minor league baseball team that has reached a crisis point as a result of a ballpark problem. In 2020, Major League Baseball imposed new guidelines for its minor league stadiums. They include LED lighting, changing rooms for women, new fencing, expanded training facilities and a larger clubhouse. Those fixes are pricey.
WorkPlanning to Combine Business and Leisure Travel? You’re Not Alone.
 Companies are responsible for knowing where their employees are during a business trip, covering expenses if an accident or emergency occurs, securing new lodging if a hotel is damaged, even swapping out a broken down rental car. Still, it’s not entirely clear if that coverage ends completely after the conference or the last client meeting. Work WorkWorkQ: Who Found a Way to Crack the U.K.’s Premier Quiz Show?
 To land a British visa, Mr. Blackwell — who already had a degree in computer science from New York University — needed to enroll in a British university. And if he was moving across the Atlantic, he figured he might as well finagle his way onto one of the country’s televised quiz shows. When he searched “university” and “quiz” on Google, up it popped: “University Challenge. “ WorkBiden and Japan’s Leader Look to Bind Ties to Outlast Them Both
 On the Japanese side, even if Mr. Kishida does not survive a leadership election this fall in his own party, it will still control the government at least until the next general election and probably beyond that — meaning any big changes in Tokyo’s policy commitments are unlikely. WorkHomecoming
 The families had already spent many hours in the trucks, and their journey was far from over. If they were unwelcome in Pakistan, they were hardly embraced upon their return.

 In January, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that a secret prison code-named Site Violet had “beyond reasonable doubt” been located in Lithuania. It did not name Antaviliai, which is near the capital, Vilnius, but the village is the only place in the country that Lithuanian officials have acknowledged as a site of a former C.I.A. facility — although they insist it was not a prison.

 The sister of Elad Katzir has blamed Israeli authorities for his death, saying he would have returned alive had the authorities agreed to a new truce deal. “Elad was kidnapped from his home in Nir Oz in one piece,” Carmit Palty Katzir, his sister, wrote on her Facebook page. “Our leadership is cowardly and driven by political consideration, which is why this deal has not happened yet,” she wrote. WorkIsolated at home and abroad, but Netanyahu isn't about to go quietly
 "A change of leadership won't necessarily mean meaningful policy changes. If Benny Gantz, Israel's former defence minister and IDF chief of the general staff, who is polling well against Netanyahu, were to become prime minister, it is unlikely that he would adopt policies regarding the Palestinians that are substantially different from Netanyahu's," Mairav Zonszein, a senior Israel analyst at the International Crisis Group thinktank, wrote in Foreign Policy magazine.

 Before the law came into effect, the Association of Scottish Police Superintendents (ASPS) warned of its impact on police resources.
