Pensioners who realize that life without work can be a surprisingly difficult place to find meaning in. That being needed, being useful is far more attractive than leaning back in leisure.

WorkWorkWhat a non-handshake tells us about Syria's new ruler The Damascus med-school dropout has also had somewhat of a sartorial makeover in recent years, swapping the Osama bin Laden-look for a neatly trimmed beard and green fatigues a la Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, or corporate blazers and chinos.

WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkInside the most expensive ZIP code in Hawaii - WSJ (No paywall) Of the five main regions on Kauai, Hawaiis northernmost island in the Pacific Ocean, the North Shore is known for its beaches, mountains and greenery. The rural, rugged area, where farming also takes place, is home to about a half-dozen small communities, each with their own vibes: Princeville, for example, is a popular vacation destination; Hanalei is an iconic surfing spot. Then there is Kilauea, which was developed in the late 1800s in conjunction with the Kilauea Sugar Plantation. Today, Kilauea has a locals-oriented atmosphere, where children freely ride bikes and roadside fruit stands are seasonally plentiful. Yet despite its low-key feel, Kilaueas 96754 ZIP Code has Hawaiis priciest residential real estate as ranked by median listing price, at $4.1 million in December 2024, according to Realtor.com.

WorkWorkWorkHow to Make Everyone Great at Data - Harvard Business Review (No paywall) By now, most companies know on an intellectual level at least that good data is essential to efficient operations, sound decision-making, and powerful AI. However, they fail to recognize the critical role that people play in the creation of good data. Indeed, many view people as a large part of the problem, blaming them for lack of attention, a reluctance to learn new skills, and undue fear they will be replaced. WorkWorkWorkWhy Justin Trudeau Had to Step Down - The New Yorker (No paywall) The resignation of Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister of Canadaor, at least, as the leader of the Liberal Party, until a new leader is chosen, which will amount to the same thingtook place this morning in front of the Prime Ministerial residence in Ottawa. It was a very Canadian setting, with the soon-departing figure of the still young Trudeau wearing an overcoat and gloves, and the smoky breath of winter rising from his mouth as he talked. He spoke in French and then in English and back again and, for Canadians abroad, there was something oddly moving in the easy bilingualism of the occasion. Taken as utterly normal in Canada, it still signals a remarkable and too easily taken for granted co-existence of two founding peoples that dates back to the early nineteenth century and the countrys beginnings. Canada, from far away, has always seemed the model liberal country, and this multiculturalismextended since to the many ethnic tiles of the Canadian mosaicis part of it.
