Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Contrary to the legends about brilliant ideas just falling from the trees like apples, great innovators don't sit or wander aimlessly waiting for inspiration to hit them in the head. Serendipity is real, of course, as are eureka moments in the shower, but the most prolific innovators actively work to increase their odds of making momentous discoveries. Whether by choosing topics heretofore underexplored, selecting important problems, charting new territory, or leveraging existing skills, great innovators have a knack for positioning themselves in the right place at the right time. In a recent conversation with William G. Kaelin Jr. , 2019 Nobel laureate and the Sidney Farber Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, he shared that: "When I was a young boy, my father liked to fish. And I learned that one of the most important decisions a fisherman makes is where to fish. Likewise, … [Read more...] about Where Do Great Innovators Get Their Ideas?

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The wild party is over, and the United States is now dealing with the hangover. Americans are experiencing the adverse effects of consequential decisions made by the Federal Reserve Bank and the U.S. government. The institutions distorted the economy by printing too much money and spending trillions of dollars on various stimulus programs . To revitalize the economy in the wake of business shutdowns during the pandemic, the Fed—through quantitative easing—bought Treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities—amounting to around $8.5 trillion . The cascade of money flooding the market, in part, led to the rapid rise in inflation. Once inflation rose uncontrollably, it was clear that the jig was up. The Fed has no other choice than clamp down on the economy, which will catalyze job losses, to fight ruinous inflation. Inflation, Yet Another Tax These actions result in a lower quality of life for many people. … [Read more...] about Financial Anxiety Is Increasing As Inflation Surges, And People Are Living Paycheck To Paycheck

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin For all those who’ve been frustrated by the continuing need to rent because of the lack of affordable housing, the near-term future is looking overall at least as bad as the immediate past. There’s a three-part problem: a vicious demand circle, the economics of building, and investors. Vicious demand circle No one need tell you the personal impact of a freakishly disruptive housing market. However, some details about the current dynamics, although it doesn’t immediately solve problems, might help in planning and knowing when to shift back to searching for a house (because, if you can afford the fixed rate payment, you’ll eventually be ahead of rents that keep rising, even if at a slower pace than recently). The demand and supply issues go back to the Great Recession in 2008. Millions of homes entered foreclosure, credit seized up like a 25-year-old car with a two-year-old oil leak, and the housing market tanked … [Read more...] about Buying A House Is About To Get Even Harder

The blue and green bubble controversy is real. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you probably don't use an iPhone--or you don't use one to send text messages to anyone else who doesn't use an iPhone. If you did, their messages would appear in little green bubbles , a sign that even though you're using the Messages app, many of the features you get when you send iMessages to another iPhone user aren't available. A lot has been written about the whole green bubble situation , including claims that Apple uses the green bubbles in order to flag non-iPhone users as second-class messaging partners on its platform. If that sounds ridiculous, consider that the stigma is real. Mostly that's because sending messages from an iPhone to any other device is a really bad experience. Your messages are sent and received as basic text messages, instead of using Apple's encrypted protocol, which is called iMessage. I know, it's confusing--iMessage is the service, and Messages is … [Read more...] about Apple Is Getting Called Out Over the Worst Thing About the iPhone—By Google

Having a baby can be an exciting time, but it can also carry significant expenses, depending on what kind of insurance coverage or assistance you have. Many pregnant people can find support through Supplemental Security Income (SSI) , which is an income program for low-income people with disabilities, and Medicaid, which is an insurance program for low-income people.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Schumer-Manchin tax bill known as the Inflation Reduction Act , which passed the Senate on Sunday, raises taxes and will give the IRS billions to go into what the Wall Street Journal called “beast mode .” In all, the meant-to-be-inflation buster bill will dole out about $80 billion to the IRS for increase enforcement, operational improvements, customer service, and systems modernization. Think big, really big. That $80 billion is more than six times the current annual IRS budget of $12.6 billion. How can the IRS spend all of that? You guessed it, the bill says a whopping $45.6 billion will be for enforcement, and make no mistake, enforcement is the main directive from Democrats to the IRS. Get bigger, tougher and faster at collecting, and make them pay. Meanwhile, the IRS could be ramping up its police power too. The IRS is a key part of the government, but not one you usually associate with law enforcement … [Read more...] about The Inflation Reduction Act Unleashes A Tougher IRS

(CTN News) – As of June 10 , the UK health officials were unable to determine if monkeypox had peaked in the UK , as they reported another 45 cases, making it the largest-ever epidemic outside of Africa. According to the UK’s Health Security Agency, men accounted for 99% of all instances, and nearly all of the 152 men who provided comprehensive information identified as gay, bisexual, or sexed with men.

Representative image (Source: Reuters) The Women and Child Development Ministry took a slew of measures in 2021 like introducing a bill to raise the marriageable age of women to 21, tackling rising malnutrition during the pandemic and ensuring safety and rehabilitation of over one lakh children who lost either of their parents to Covid. Even though children remained less susceptible to COVID-19, about 1.32 lakh of them lost either of their parents and were at an increased risk of being exploited and trafficked, proving to be a major concern for the ministry. Over 9,800 children were orphaned, 508 abandoned and 1.32 lakh lost either of their parents from April 2020 to December 7 this year during the pandemic, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) said. Taking cognisance of the issue, the government earlier this year launched PM CARES for Children, a scheme that lends support to kids who were orphaned during the pandemic.
