WorkWorkWorkWorkProposals to build NYC's first casino in Manhattan rejected Plans to build the Big Apple's first full-service casino in the heart of the city have run out of luck. A local panel on Monday rejected the last of three Manhattan proposals vying for one of up to three new state licenses to operate a casino in the lucrative New York City market. The proposal was for a six-acre project near the United Nations headquarters dubbed "Freedom Plaza." A Jay-Z-backed plan to build a Caesars Palace in Times Square and another proposal for a resort on Manhattan's West Side were both voted down by two other local boards last week. Five proposals still remain in the race for up to three gaming licenses. WorkWorkWork'We had a stampede': Irish surge across border for weight-loss jabs At McNally's pharmacy in the Northern Ireland border city of Newry, the manager opens a tall fridge crammed with boxes of Mounjaro. Half the shelves contain prescriptions for the drug, already bagged up awaiting collection. Their recipients? People travelling up from the Republic.Located on what, during the Troubles conflict, was one of the most militarised and dangerous parts of the 310-mile border dividing the UK region from Ireland, Newry has historically been a haven for alcohol, diesel and cigarettes smugglers seeking to exploit different tax regimes. Work WorkWorkWorkThe U.S. government has jumped the public health shark The big reveal on autism confirms that no one should put their faith in federal science. Americans must turn to their doctors, the professional societies of medicine, the vetted websites of real scientists, and foreign sources for sound information about autism and other health matters. There is nothing even close to trustworthy emanating from anyone with a federal appointment and a scientific-sounding platform.

WorkA single blood test can measure how different parts of our bodies are aging Our bodies do not age at a uniform rate. The speed at which one organ ages can differ greatly from another due to a range of lifestyle, environmental and genetic factors. Conventional tests provide a single number for overall biological age, but they do not indicate which parts of the body are aging the fastest. WorkMoldovans face AI-driven Russian disinformation ahead of key election Moldovans are facing a wave of AI-driven disinformation ahead of a crucial parliamentary election on Sunday. Online monitoring groups have tracked Russian propaganda campaigns aimed at reducing support for the pro-European Party of Action and Solidarity, or PAS. Researchers say these campaigns mark a new phase in Russian influence operations, using AI to impersonate Western media and flood comment sections. Moldovan President Maia Sandu has warned that this vote is the most consequential in the country's history, determining its future with the EU or Russia. The Moldovan government has tried to counter the disinformation by establishing a center to combat it. WorkAI-Generated "Workslop" Is Destroying Productivity - HBR A confusing contradiction is unfolding in companies embracing generative AI tools: while workers are largely following mandates to embrace the technology, few are seeing it create real value. Consider, for instance, that the number of companies with fully AI-led processes nearly doubled last year, while AI use has likewise doubled at work since 2023. Yet a recent report from the MIT Media Lab found that 95% of organizations see no measurable return on their investment in these technologies. So much activity, so much enthusiasm, so little return.

WorkWorkWorkThe White House says it blocked US Steel's decision to stop processing steel at Illinois plant The White House says it intervened to block a decision to stop processing raw steel at U.S. Steel's Granite City Works plant in Illinois. In a statement, the White House said Monday that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick delivered the message that President Donald Trump would exercise his so-called "golden share" power. That provision was a key element in the Trump administration's decision to allow Japan-based Nippon Steel to buy out U.S. Steel. It gives the federal government a say in certain decisions involving domestic steel production. Earlier this month, U.S. Steel said it would stop processing steel slabs at its Granite City Works. On Friday, U.S. Steel reversed course.
