WorkWork WorkFive minutes of exercise a day could lower blood pressureThe study, published in Circulation, was carried out by experts from the ProPASS (Prospective Physical Activity, Sitting and Sleep) Consortium, an international academic collaboration led by the University of Sydney and University College London (UCL). WorkThe Decline of the Working MusicianBefore the gig economy consumed a third of the workforce, it was mostly musicians who worried about gigs. There are debates about the origins of the word—some believe it derives from an eighteenth-century term for horse-drawn carriages that may have doubled as stages for performers, while others contend that it was adapted from a Baroque dance called the gigue. But the “gig,” as shorthand for a casual, one-off paid performance, entered the popular lexicon during the Jazz Age of the nineteen-twenties and thirties. There was a mystique to the gigging musician wandering the big city in search of work, because this work was creative, improvisational, at times transcendent. WorkWorkWorkWorkCan Direct Democracy Save Abortion Rights? - The New Yorker In the first Presidential race since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the American electorate appeared to stake out two seemingly irreconcilable positions. Voters gave a mandate to Donald Trump, who appointed half of the conservative supermajority that abolished the constitutional right to abortion in Dobbs v. Jackson Womens Health Organization. Yet, at the same time, eight states showed majority support for constitutional amendments that codified abortion rights, including five states that went for or are leaning toward Trump. In Missouri, where abortions are completely prohibited except for health emergencies, Trump won easily, but so did an amendment enshrining reproductive rights in the state constitution. Trump is poised to win in Arizona, which has a fifteen-week ban, and where voters affirmed an amendment protecting abortion rights until fetal viability. A similar measure in Trumps home state of Florida, Amendment 4, won a slightly larger majority than Trump himself didand yet the measure failed, because it did not reach Floridas sixty-per-cent threshold for passing constitutional amendments. The South Florida Sun Sentinel, reporting on a ballot initiative that received fifty-seven per cent of the vote, ran the headline Voters Reject Florida Abortion Rights Amendment. WorkParents Labeling a Kids Friend a Bad Influence Can Backfire - Scientific American Parents have always blamed their teens misbehavior on their kids friends: they may say their kids fell into bad company or got in with the wrong crowd. To combat what they see as pernicious influences, parents have responded with strategies that range from criticizing the wayward companions to forbidding any contact altogether. This type of response by parents has been documented from the Netherlands to China. WorkWorkWorkJudge Tosses Out Biden Program For Undocumented SpousesGenerally, immigrants who have entered the United States illegally must leave the country to complete the green card process, which can take years. The Biden program, which was in place for a week, allowed those who were married to U.S. citizens to remain in the country by granting them what the immigration system refers to as “parole,” a status that also protected them from deportation. WorkWave of Racist Texts After Election Prompts F.B.I.'s ScrutinyMr. Trump stoked racism throughout his campaign in speeches that included false accusations against immigrants and inflated crime figures. He demeaned the intelligence of his opponent, a Black woman; repeatedly amplified a lie that Haitian immigrants were eating neighbors’ pets in Ohio and held a rally near the end of his campaign at Madison Square Garden that was rife with bigotry and misogyny. WorkTrump's Strange Bedfellows: Arab Americans and Right-Leaning JewsThe two groups hold sharply divergent expectations for the president-elect. And both strongly pro-Israel Trump voters and some of Mr. Trump’s Arab American backers are skeptical that his ascent this week is the start of a durable cross-ideological, interfaith coalition. WorkThe Entertainer axes new shops after Budget tax rise"When you look at the proposed cuts in corporation tax - even without those cuts and indeed the new costs that have just come in in the UK on National Insurance and labour laws - when you’re taking investment decisions, the US is making a very compelling case for investment and expansion," he said.

WorkBrian Cox urges artists to 'keep flag of truth flying' after Trump win"The world's in deep shit like never before.

He said: "I couldn't play him for all the tea in China, there's no virtue in him." WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkProject 2025 chief's book urges 'burning' of FBI, New York Times and Boy Scouts"Man's taming of fire is the cornerstone of human culture," Roberts muses. "That's the funny thing about fire. It is so fleeting, a flame flickering from moment to moment, yet in its evanescence, it is eternal. Of all the elements, fire is most associated with transformation, renewal, and change. You can't have a blaze without some kind of sacrificial transformation of fuel into fire. Yet precisely for this reason, fire demands an attention to continuity. Unlike any of the other elements, fire dies ⦠a fire must be continually tended."
