How many correct answers can you answer?

|A miscellaneous fool

If you are resigning or resigning, you may know that some people are advocating for Social Security benefits. You may also feel how the program works. You pay your entire career for it, and when you get older, you start collecting checks for the rest of your life.

However, the finer points of the program are often vague. A recent AARP survey revealed a risky knowledge gap that allows some people to make inadequate decisions about when or none. Fixing these misconceptions, including the five listed below, is important if you want to make the most of your program.

1. What is the earliest age where you can claim profits?

Only 40% of those surveyed knew who knew who could claim Social Security was 62 years old. You must be 62 years old for the entire month to qualify, and in the eyes of the Social Security Administration, your birth month will only count if you were born first or second. Otherwise, you will not be eligible until the month following your birth month.

It is also important to note that a 62-year-old claim is considered an early claim as you are exposed to a full retirement age (FRA). More details are below. This means you may face early claims of up to 30% benefits for signing up. However, if there is no other way to cover your living expenses or if you have a short life expectancy, it may still be the right option.

2. What age does it take to maximize your monthly profit?

Even fewer people know how long they have to wait to maximize their monthly benefits claim. Only a quarter of respondents correctly selected 70 years of age as the age at which they qualify for the largest monthly benefit.

Most people assumed they were younger than this. This is dangerous. Because you may shorten yourself by making your previous claims.

Considering that you have to wait past 70 to qualify for the biggest check can be even more costly. Once you reach 70 your profits won’t grow any further, so you definitely need to sign up with the latest by then. Otherwise, you’re just spending money on yourself.

3. What is your full retirement age (FRA)?

Your FRA is the age where you are eligible for your full Social Security interest based on your work history. If you charge in the month you reach your FRA, you will not face early claim penalties and will not earn you late retirement credits that will boost your profits.

Over a third of survey respondents believed the FRA was 65 years old, but said they didn’t know about another quarter. 65 speculations don’t come out of nowhere. FRA was 65 years old for many years. However, in the 1980s, the government made changes to the program to avoid bankruptcy, including raising FRAs for young adults.

If you were born after 1960, your FRA is 67 years old. However, some older adults have slightly younger FRAs.

4. Can I request Social Security benefits from my former partner’s work records?

When asked whether divorced people could claim Social Security benefits on their original work records after 10 years of marriage, half of respondents either responded incorrectly or didn’t know. The truth is you can do it, but 10 years of marriage is important.

Those who divorced before they crossed the 10-year mark are not eligible to claim benefits on their original work records. Also, if you remarry, you are not entitled to do this. However, in this scenario, you can qualify based on the work records of your new spouse. If your spouse is remarried, but you do not, this will not affect the eligibility of the ex-spouse’s interests. Claiming your original work record doesn’t prevent your new spouse from receiving the check either.

5. Will you recover the money you lost in the Social Security Revenue Test?

Social Security Revenue Tests apply to those who claim a check before the FRA while they are still working. If you’re under the FRA in all 2025, you’ll lose $1 for every two dollars above $23,400. If you reach the FRA this year, earning this before your birthday will result in you losing $1 for every 3 dollars you make over $62,160.

Few survey respondents understood that this loss is potentially problematic in the short term, but not eternal. Once you reach your FRA, the Social Security Administration will increase your check and make up for the amount it previously held.

If any of the above answers surprised you, it may be time to reconsider your social security claims strategy. For example, you may prefer to charge at a different time to get more money or avoid income tests. If you have any questions about how the above rules apply to a particular situation, you can always contact the Social Security Agency for further details.

Leonardo DiCaprio said he felt he was 32 years old and chuckled

Leonardo DiCaprio said he felt he was 32 years old and chuckled

Leonardo DiCaprio doesn’t know you, but he feels 32.

The Oscar-winning Titanic star, who turned 50 last year, drew ock on social media after revealing in an interview with Esquire on August 13 that he feels like he’s 32.

This quote comes from a discussion between DiCaprio and his “Fighting after Battles” director Paul Thomas Anderson. Addressing DiCaprio, the filmmaker said, “I’m going to ask you a question, and you’ll answer as soon as possible. If you don’t know how old you are, how old are you now?”

DiCaprio replied, “32.”

Anderson suggested that DiCaprio should “examine what happened when you were 32.” The “Boogie Night” director then asked the actor what questions Esquire had prepared for him. However, DiCaprio rephrased this as “I emotionally put it in 35 last year.”

DiCaprio’s quote soon draws ridiculous on social media, and some fans read it as an effort to justify the fact that it is known to date women much younger than them. The film star has recently been romantically linked to 27-year-old supermodel Vittoria Ceretti. The couple joined the Met Gala in May when Ceretti was 26 years old.

“Like the only way to try and chase girls under the age of 25,” one X user said, while another joked.

“A straight guy is emotionally immature. A groundbreaking thing,” comedian Julia Claire has also stopped.

However, some people came to DiCaprio’s defense and said they could be related to emotions.

“People will tease this for his lifestyle and dating roster, but honestly, most people in nearly 50 will tell you the exact same thing,” posted X user Danny Manus. “(I’m almost 45 years old and I feel emotionally 30. Who would like to feel their age?”

Anderson also seemed to have something to do with the idea. The 55-year-old filmmaker raised an age question to DiCaprio and stated, “By the way, my answer was 27.”

DiCaprio was opened in a more serious tone during an Esquire chat about turning 50.

“I can only imagine how the next few decades will advance,” he recalls. “For example, I look at my mother and she doesn’t waste time by saying exactly what she thinks. She doesn’t spend time trying to fake it.”

DiCaprio continues, “Be more positive, risking things fall apart, risking differences, risking separate ways from all kinds of relationships in life – personal, expert – that means you don’t want to waste your time anymore.

Sudden heavy rain in Kashmir, India, kills 46 people and over 200 people disappear

Srinagar, India
Reuters
–

At least 46 people have been killed and more than 200 have been missing after a sudden heavy rain in Kashmir, India, officials said Thursday that the second disaster in the Himalayas was just over a week.

The incident occurred in the town of Kishtwal, Chasoti, a stopover point for a popular pilgrimage route. A little over a week comes after heavy floods and landslides have engulfed the entire village of Uttarakhand, the Himalayas.

The floods have washed away security posts installed in the community’s kitchens and villages. Pit stop along the pilgrimage route to Masirmata Temple refused to be named because he was not allowed to speak to the media about the incident.

“A large number of pilgrims gathered for lunch and they were washed away,” officials said.

Machail Yatra is a popular pilgrimage to pilgrims from Chasoti to temples from one of the symptoms of Goddess Durga, and the highland Himalaya shrines at Masirmata, and the vehicle path ends.

“The news is harsh, accurate and accurate, and verified information from the areas where cloudburst hits have been coming late,” Omar Abdullah, prime minister of the federal territories of India’s Jammu and Kashmir, said in a post in X.

TV footage showed pilgrims crying in fear as the water flooded the village.

The disaster occurred at 11:30am local time, Kishtwar district department director Ramesh Kumar told news agency ANI, adding that local police and disaster response officials had reached the scene.

“The Army and Air Force teams are also being revitalized. Search and rescue operations are ongoing,” Kumar said.

According to the Indian weather sector, cloudbursts are sudden, heavy downpours of rain over 100 mm (4 inches) in just an hour, which can cause sudden flooding, landslides and devastation, especially in mountainous regions during the monsoon.

The local weather office in Srinagar predicted severe showers in several areas of Kashmir on Thursday, asking residents to stay away from loose structures, utility poles and old trees due to the possibility of landslides and flash floods, including Kishtwar.

RFK Jr., Dr. Oz climbs a big rock in Colorado for video stunts

Videos from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Medicare administrators circulate online as they climb big rocks and hike through the God Garden in Colorado.

In a third minute video posted on Kennedy’s official HHS X page on Wednesday, August 13th, he and Oz will be seen in the Garden of Gods in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In another X-post on Kennedy’s personal page, the secretary writes that he and Oz went on a hike during a break between speeches at the National Governors’ Conference held on July 25-26.

In a public service announcement video, Kennedy talks about how daily hikes benefited his life and improved his focus, clarity and creativity. He says the hike exposes him to “sunlight” and calls him a “drug” as it is a source of vitamin D.

“Fifteen minutes from the outside can change your day and your life. It sharpens your mind, strengthens your body, and restores connections that many of us have lost to each other, nature, and ourselves,” Kennedy wrote in the post. “Thank you to @drozcms for taking part in this hike.”

Around the two-minute and 30-second marks in the video, Kennedy states, “We had to go, this mountain is not going to climb on its own.” The video is cut by 71-year-old Kennedy and as he climbs the mountain, he appears to wobble as he pulls into the boulder. Oz, 65, follows behind him and appears to need Kennedy’s support to reach Boulder.

“So how do you get off?” Oz says in the video before slipping down with Kennedy.

15 minutes from outside can change your day – and your life.

It sharpens your mind, strengthens your body, and restores the connections that so many of us have lost to each other, nature, and ourselves.

thank you @drozcms He took part in this hike. pic.twitter.com/7hba0sqjsj

– Secretary Kennedy (@seckennedy) August 13, 2025

The internet responds

Some people naturally enjoyed the video and called it “SNL skits” or chuckled it as cringe. Others laughed at Kennedy’s jeans. He also wore it during his July hike in Arizona’s swell, images that are widely shared in social media entertainment.

Supporters repeated Kennedy and Oz’s messages about going outside, encouraging others to go for a walk.

Since being appointed HHS secretary by President Donald Trump, Kennedy has faced criticism over changing Covid-19 vaccine recommendations for children and pregnant people, as well as cutting vaccine programs. He is a natural medical and health advocate, improving food quality by eliminating certain dyes and additives.

Taylor Swift shares Instagram secrets on New Heights Podcast

Taylor Swift shares Instagram secrets on New Heights Podcast

Taylor Swift is decorated with jewels with “energy” gems.

On an August 13 episode of Kelce Brothers’ “New Heights” podcast, Swift advised listeners, saying their attention should be considered a valuable commodity and that they should not do anything too important to interactions that don’t help their well-being.

“You should think about your energy, as if it were luxury,” Swift said. “Not everyone can afford it. Not everyone is investing in you so that you can have capital to care about this. What you use your energy is that day.”

Protecting her energy diamonds is the reason she disabled Instagram comments about 10 years ago, and “don’t miss” being online.

“I’m going to separate from the internet in a huge way,” she said in the episode. She released her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, on October 3rd.

So, rather than missing a good day of “obsessing” to one person called “around” in the comments, the pop star said we should adjust it all.

“We’re in an age where we’re distracted,” says digital wellness expert Mark Ostack. “Taylor models fantastic digital wellness practices… Your life purpose is realizing that it doesn’t come from the impression you get online. Your identity and value aren’t rooted in the number you have.”

Is it time to give Taylor advice? Here’s how to explain whether you need to take a step back from social media and how to do it:

Protects the “diamond” of energy

Swift shared Sage’s advice when he knows when it’s time to leave digital discourse.

“If your algorithm is giving you criticism of yourself or you are giving you praise or praise for creating an ecosystem that is a central part of the table,” she said. “I don’t think it’s healthy.”

Many of us struggle with this “post-traumatic scroll obstacle,” says Ostach. The endless digital diet we consume overwhelm us with fear and anxiety from the moment we wake up. As a first step to confusing this cycle, Ostach recommends turning off comments, removing phones from the site, blocking apps, and setting social media time constraints.

“When we customize our mood based on scrolling moments, we are sensitive to anxiety, self-esteem issues, or lack of motivation,” he says.

Swift has been speaking out about her struggle to balance mental health with her public persona. On the podcast, she said “Showgirl Life” peels off the curtains about what she really felt while performing an epic 149 Show ERAS tour in front of a sold-out crowd. Swift has learned to separate noise from music. Online that doesn’t serve her is “not my business.”

These boundaries promote Swift’s creativity, says Ostach.

“When you’re trying to change the behavior, you need to replace it with something like smoking or scrolling,” says Ostach. Ostack says that in ways Taylor puts pens on paper or attends the Chiefs game with his friends, Ostak should find intentional behavior outside the ecosystem of comparisons.

“They will revive your heart and spirit,” he says. “What you bring to the world is the light of what you did in your dark space (offline).”

Not all of us are pop stars who pay microscopic attention to our lives, but everyone easily falls into supporting social media in real relationships. If people in your life complain that you are focused on being loved online too much or online, a real connection is a sign to leave it, says Ostach.

To find a real connection, he suggests asking, “How are you?” And actually pause for a response. Or exchange Dming posts with friends and take a walk outside together. Sniff, hear, and feel the nature around you in that moment.

Swift said that from her obsession with sourdough creation to her love for wild otters, she prioritizes her connection to her boyfriend, Travis Kels, with their hobbies. Their own intimacy defines relationships rather than online predictions.

“Can you imagine that we just talked about what people said about our relationship?” she said on the podcast. “If we talked about it, that’s because everything we talked about is so chatty. We’re busy having a real relationship.”

Arizona Iced Tea Prices Could Go Up From 99 Cents on Trump’s Tariffs

Arizona Iced Tea Prices Could Go Up From 99 Cents on Trump’s Tariffs

“As pressure continues to rise, there may be no other option but to adjust pricing, but we will try our best to avoid that,” said Arizona Senator and co-founder Don Vullutaggio.

Over 30 years later, Arizona Iced Tea could see prices rise for the first time.

Arizona Beverage Company is known for its 22 oz iced tea. This includes ginseng served in teal decorated with ginseng and honey decorated with cherry flowers decorated with honey. Since its founding in 1992, Arizona has been selling these cans for 99 cents, but Chairman and co-founder Don Vullutaggio told USA Today that the company may need to adjust its pricing if the tariffs implemented by President Donald Trump continue to rise.

Vultaggio said the situation is “particularly unfair” as 80% of the sheet metal used in Arizona products are recycled from the US. The other 20% is imported. On June 3, Trump signed an executive order issued a 50% tariff on all aluminum and steel imports.

“If the pressure continues to rise, there may be no other option but to adjust pricing, but we will try our best to avoid that,” Vultaggio said.

“Where’s where the savings are seen, like the low cost of pets’ crude oil (polyethylene terephthalate, plastic used in bottles), we pass it to customers with deeper promotions and complete price reductions, including tall boys with $1 plastic,” continues Vultaggio.

The Fed is making apparent raids outside the Newsom event in downtown LA

The Fed is making apparent raids outside the Newsom event in downtown LA

Many federal agents raided nearby as California Gov. Gavin Newsom called for a special election for his district.

Federal agents conducted immigration enforcement patrols near Gavin Newsom’s press conference location.
In response, Newsom and his press have posted about the agent’s presence on social media.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass called the patrol timing “provocative” and “incredibly rude.”

Many federal agents have appeared nearby, just as California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a special election for the state’s district at a cultural center in downtown Los Angeles.

Newsom was located inside the Japanese-American National Museum on August 14, and to cite his proposed changes to the California Legislative District and counter the Texas Republican plan to create a more GOP-friendly district in the state, a group of federal agents was conducting immigration enforcement patrols in LA’s small Tokyo district.

Newsom and his press have joined social media to announce the presence of the agent, paying tribute to President Donald Trump’s punctuation and rhetoric.

“The Border Patrol appeared at our big, beautiful press conference! We are not threatened!” the post said.

Gregory Bovino, sector commander of the U.S. Border Patrol, told KNBC-TV that he is running a roving immigration enforcement patrol in the area. Bovino told the station that one person was taken into custody and illegally detained for being in the United States.

“There’s no way this is a coincidence,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass later told news media on the scene.

“They decide they’re coming and thumb up their noses in front of the governor’s face,” Bass said. “Why do you do that? It’s incredibly rude. It’s a provocative act. They’re talking about obstacles in Los Angeles. They’re now the source of obstacles in Los Angeles.”

The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately return a request for USA’s comment on patrols in the region.

National Guard Patrol Union Station as Trump’s DC crackdown expands

National Guard Patrol Union Station as Trump’s DC crackdown expands

The majority of passersby were curious about the soldiers. Others shared their views directly.

WASHINGTON – At Union Station, familiar flows of tourists and tourists fresh from trains and buses emerged from the Capitol buildings from the queued entrance block.

There was one new existence. Dozens of National Guard forces with camouflage fatigue.

Soldiers patrolled for hours outside the main station in Washington, DC on August 14 days after President Donald Trump announced a military and law enforcement clampdown on statistically declining cities “out of control” crime.

Earlier this week, Trump seized control of local law enforcement and deployed 800 national security guards from the District of Columbia in response to what he gave the framework as a city’s public safety emergency. Supporters, lawmakers, and many residents have pushed back that trait of ignoring crime data.

In other parts of the country, the president cannot deploy the military into police capabilities without the consent of the state governor. Washington is the exception. Trump has a green light to deploy his troops to assume law enforcement functions under his sole order. The Army said the military is tasked with protecting the property of the National Park Service, including the National Mall, and supporting law enforcement with administrative duties and transportation. They are not armed, but authorities told USA Today that if quotas change, they will be ordered to carry soldiers with weapons.

About a third of Washington, DC’s 2,400 National Guard has been tapped for Trump’s mission. Those who live close enough can fall asleep, while others whose private homes are far from the capital will stay at base facilities and hotels.

One soldier standing next to an idling humvee outside Union Station said he lives far away to sleep at home, but said he didn’t show how much he would unfold. Like his peers, he was not allowed to talk about the records. He told USA Today that he will return home after the assignment is over.

National Guard patrols cause insults, approval

It first appeared in the development in front of the Washington Memorial on August 12, according to photos posted by the commander and news reports. Two days later they appeared at Union Station, staying in line with heavy heat much longer, with law enforcement bevies from multiple agencies cleaning and spinning the area.

As the mornings rose and temperatures rose in the 80s, several more sage green humvees filled with soldiers rose to join the four of them already parked in the corner of the plaza outside the station. Military vehicles, known for transporting troops across desert terrain in Iraq and Afghanistan, are currently narrowing down busy traffic along with taxis and Ubers that drop commuters and tourists.

At one point, some forces rushed towards the traffic kerfuffle on the side of the square. The man who witnessed the incident said the unresponsive driver drove his car to the curb and hit a street sign. By then, the driver who scored the autograph had escaped the scene. The man grabbed some of the guards and drove them away.

Police cars have regularly cruised in the past. At another moment, a security attendant in the parking lot was injured by a passing driver. The fire truck arrived, then an ambulance arrived, then another. A group of police riding bikes rushed to the station entrance, only to find that the screams they were responding came from traffic attendants urging the car to move forward. “Yeah, that’s the security guard screams,” he said before they rushed. The drones of the siren in the distance were almost constant.

The National Guard forces checked in with the injured guards, but eventually returned to their posts.

A photograph of the army was taken as travelers waited with their vehicles and suitcases in their hands. Some posed with them for photos.

The majority of passersby were curious about the soldiers. Others shared their views directly.

“I’m embarrassed by you,” cried a woman. “I’m sorry, but I have to do this.”

“Tell me about waste of resources,” cried another.

Others shared approval – Pass Jogger gave him a thumbs up and a smile.

“I’m scared. I’m scared,” said Nick Roelofs, 67, an American foreigner living in Stockholm, standing outside the station. “I don’t want to live in a police state. I’m worried about what happens.”

“It’s a waste of time and money for people,” said Lela Leonard, a 38-year-old Pittsburgh family in the capital. “They just stand there.”

Others expressed their faith in the regime. “Maybe he’s seeing what we’re not seeing,” 25-year-old Mohammed Osman said of justification for deploying Trump’s troops. “It’s America. Nothing will happen to us.”

The heart of DC Crime Debate

Union Station, the HUB of the Century of Trains, has been the flashpoint for a fierce debate over Washington’s crime rate.

The Trump administration has argued that crimes related to homelessness and false teenagers are a citywide crisis. Critics point out that crime rates are falling compared to the end of the year.

“Greatness is the choice,” the Department of Homeland Security captioned the August 12 post, showing the official X account of 1940s Ella illustrations of trolleys and colorful cars outside a neat, unpersonled station.

Union Station reached its peak in the 1940s, when train travel was booming. According to its website, its self-proclaimed “Low Point appeared in 1981.

In recent years, the station has been a site of overdose and attacks, losing more than half of its stores within 20 years, according to a 2022 Washington Post report. A man was fatally shot at a station in February. Six teenage girls were arrested in connection with violent attacks by women outside the station the same month.

With the National Guard standing nearby on August 14, some travelers said they were more concerned about military presence than what it was intended to prevent.

“There are no crimes that should require military bases in Washington, D.C.,” Osman said.

According to timeout, this is the best city in the world for people in their 20s

According to timeout, this is the best city in the world for people in their 20s

Sign up to unlock the world, CNN Travel’s weekly newsletter. Get news about destinations, as well as the latest aviation, food, drinks and where to stay.

Cape Town is the best city in the world, Timeout says. Unless you are under 30 years old.

The publishing giant, renowned for its best list of everything from cool streets to foodie destinations, has released its first “best city” list tailored to youth.

In January, an annual survey of more than 18,500 city residents around the world revealed that South Africa’s metropolis became the best in 2025, followed by Bangkok, New York and Melbourne. However, to filter the same data for responses under the 30s, Gen Z cohort and baby millennials between the ages of 13 and 28 draw different pictures.

The Thai capital, along with the youthful inhabitants of 2025, scored it as a great place to meet happiness, affordable and new people. Young urbanites here were more likely than under the 30s to rate the city as an ideal environment for making friends than anywhere else.

Of course, it adds to many other assets in Bangkok. The Thai capital “checks out all the boxes of great cities. It’s famous friendly and culturally rich and packed with iconic sites like Wat Arun and the Great Palace,” Timeout said in January.

Melbourne was second on the under-30 years list, and second in the multi-generational rankings. Four of the five young Melbanians described their city as diverse and inclusive, with an impressive 96% praised its art and cultural scene. More than nine in 10 also said that the quality of life in Melbourne is “good” or “surprising.”

Australian cities also have Melbourne High Street, the coolest boulevard of 2024 timeouts. Melbourne High Street was praised for its “magnificent restaurants, hidden bars, live music venues and boutique shops” of its time.

Cape Town ranked third on the under-30 list, earning a particularly high score for its beauty. Coastal cities are overlooked by breathtaking Table Mountain. Three of the four young people say it’s affordable to go out for drinks.

New York City, number four, was the city most likely to be called “exciting” by younger residents, Timeout says. It was also praised for its walkability and not surprising.

Copenhagen ranked 10th in the multi-generational rankings, but it rose to 5th in the case of filtering under the 30s. The Danish capital “prioritizes good food, good people and caring for each other,” Timeout said in January, but it also appears to be ranked in finding special people to look after. More than half of the young people said it was an easy place to find love.

Barcelona is another favorite for young people, taking 17th place on the overall list, but ranked 6th with Gen Z and the youngest millennials. Buzzy Seaside Metropolis is well known for its nightlife, but the city is also tied to Melbourne for its highest ratings for diversity and inclusion. 77% of young residents gave their thumbs qualifications for that diversity.

Edinburgh ranked seventh on the 30 under list thanks to its walkableness, green space and access to nature. Almost 95% of young people love green space action opportunities and are the highest city in this category.

Mexico City, in eighth place, scores 69% after Bangkok, with 69%, one of the young urban standards at the start of their careers. It was also the fourth closest city of all generations in 2025, with 96% of respondents saying they are happy in their city.

Young Londoners do not value their city because of its affordability. Only 45% agree that it’s easy in a wallet. However, the British capital ranked 9th on the under-30s list thanks to its excellent cultural scene. Its diverse food offerings have become a hit for young people as well. 95% highly praised the food scene.

The final spot in the top 10 was filmed by Shanghai, and earlier this year saw a timeout called “a cinema-like city where everyone is the main character.” Young people living in this big Chinese city are most likely to describe their city as modern. It also worked well with public transport (96% highly rated) and overall happiness (84% said they were happy living there).

Ulta Beauty, the target to end the ministore partnership in 2026

Ulta Beauty, the target to end the ministore partnership in 2026

After announcing the partnership split, Target shares fell 2%, while Ulta shares fell about 1% on the morning of August 14th.

Ulta Beauty will close its ministore at its Target location by this time next year, the Cosmetics chain announced on August 14th.

Ulta confirmed its partnership conclusion with Target in a news release as it “mutually agreed” to its current deal, which ended in August 2026. It was rolled out in August 2021 to increase access to Ulta’s beauty products and brands to target shoppers.

“For 35 years, Ulta Beauty has revolutionized the way people experience beauty – acquiring an unparalleled assortment from masa to luxury. And our partnership with Target was one of many unique ways to bring beauty power to guests across the country.”

Rick Gomez, Target’s executive vice president and chief commercial officer, said in a statement that the company is “prideful of the success it has been shared with Ulta Beauty.”

“We look forward to what’s going forward and we’re continuing to be committed to providing the beauty experience that consumers expect from their target. For one, we’re all invincible values, centered around an exciting mix of beauty brands with continuous newness,” Gomez said.

Why target, end the Ulta partnership?

According to Reuters, the goal is struggling to reduce demand as discretionary purchases decline due to concerns over the economy and increased inflation. Retailers have also experienced declines in sales, national boycotts and litigation related to their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices.

Moreover, many of the target products are sourced from countries where President Donald Trump has placed a wide range of tariffs.

After announcing the partnership split, Target shares fell 2%, while Ulta shares fell about 1% on August 14th. According to Reuters, sales in the Beauty segment rose 5% in 2024.

As beauty products sales increase, it is not clear why companies have now ended their five-year partnership.

How many beauty shops are there in Target and Urta?

Target is a leading US retailer with 1,981 stores in all 50 states and in Washington, DC. According to the National Retail Federation, it is the eighth largest US retailer behind Walmart, Amazon.com and Costco Wholesale.

As of May 2025, Ulta Beauty operates 1,451 stores in all 50 states. The Wall Street Journal reports that over 600 Ulta ministores operate within the target retailer.

Shoppers will be able to purchase Ulta products from Target stores and online until August 2026.

As she casually crosses one of the most scenic stretches of Spain’s Camino de Santiago and embraces the rugged beauty of the North Coast with her husband and three children, Dr. Colleen Crowley feels a wave of gratitude at the place where life has taken her.

For many, hiking some of Europe’s most famous pilgrimage routes would be a once-in-a-lifetime journey. For American psychologist Crawley and her family, it is part of everyday life.

She knows the landscape well, so we might assume she has lived here for decades. In fact, they arrived with their mother, just three years ago with their 80-year-old, and the family dog, MO.

“It sounds very trivial, but I think everyone is much happier here,” she said, describing the move as “surprisingly transformative” for her three children, who were 16, 13 and 8 years old at the time.

“All three of us have said that. This is truly amazing.”

This photo, taken from Mount Igeldo, shows La Concha Bay, located on June 28th in the city of San Sebastian, Basque Basque.

Crawley and her husband had long planned to live abroad with children, but they were waiting for the right time.

“For both of us, I think it’s like the basis of who we are,” she said. “We live in a variety of cultures and communities, and it felt a certain opposition to who we live in one place.”

Crawley originally originally from Colorado. Before moving to Spain, the family lived in Montecito, California for ten years. It was a coastal enclave in Santa Barbara County, home to Oprah Winfrey and the Duchess of Sussex.

“It was a great place to raise a family,” Crawley said. “But honestly, it’s probably a bit nice. It’s very well maintained. It’s very limited.”

She hoped that the children’s perspective would be “in a way that would not allow them to stay in such a protected environment.”

But leaving the close community was difficult, especially as she and her husband, both of whom were environmental lawyers, had demanding jobs. “That could be difficult,” she said. “We both had big careers and three children were in different developmental places.”

The shift to remote work during the Covid-19 pandemic has made it easier to make a leap. Her eldest daughter graduated from high school almost at the same time and turned the scale.

“So, during our careers and between the places our kids were developing, we thought, ‘I think it’s time to go,'” she added.

Why Spain? Crawley has long been intrigued by the country through Ernest Hemingway’s work, but later testing of his ancestors revealed that he has Spanish heritage.

The family thought of Chile. Chile was first visited by her and her husband in 1997, but Spain seemed like a more natural fit, despite her never going there.

“We wanted to live in a place where we could pursue our love of the outdoors, such as surfing, skiing, hiking,” she said. The children participated in the decision-making process.

They sold a four-bedroom house, cut down on their belongings and persuaded their mother to join. Crawley obtained a non-visual visa for her mother. This allows non-European union citizens to live in Spain without working, provided they can prove they have sufficient funds. She and her husband were granted a digital nomadic visa that allowed remote work for up to five years.

July In 2022, the family flew from Los Angeles to Barcelona with ten suitcases, then boarded Mallorca, the largest in Spain’s Balearic Islands.

Popular with visitors from all over the world through the shelter bays and limestone mountains, Marolca offered a simple adjustment. But six months later, the family felt that it was not appropriate.

“It’s been very international and it’s made the transition a little easier,” Crawley said. “But we really wanted a family, nature and Spanish experience.”

There they tried San Sebastian, the food capital of the autonomous Basque region of northern Spain, known for its impressive coastline, world-class surf breaks and surrounding mountain paths.

“I knew I found a place for us two days later,” Crawley said. “Size, geography, and nature were great for us to prioritize and increase value.”

They began to establish a routine of renting homes, registering children in sports, finding doctors, joining friendship circles, and discovering grocery stores. “It’s a process,” she said.

Integration is not without challenges. She noted that Basque culture is “known to be extremely isolated.” The locals were kind, but many socialize mostly within the Quadrila. It is a close friendship group formed of young people. “We’re never in Quadrila,” she said. “But you find some special relationships and that will support you.”

The family spends a lot of time outdoors, surfing in the hiking section of Camino de Santiago, nearby France, and exploring the Pyrenees. “We had a really nice quality of life in Montecito,” she said. “But it’s completely different here. It’s a completely different spirit, a huge improvement in quality of life.”

Most of the family picked up Spanish easily, but Crowley admits that she is still learning. They also study Basques, which she calls “a language that is really difficult to learn.”

They eventually moved to one of the few large houses in San Sebastian, taking in views of both the sea and town. Her mother lives nearby on a flat overlooking Biscay Bay.

“We work from home and have a big dog, so living in the apartment was a stretch for us,” Crawley said. “There aren’t many homes like this in the area, so I was lucky enough to find it.”

They have cars, but rarely use them and prefer to travel by bike. “In the US, you have two cars. You drive all the time, and it’s scary. That’s amazing,” she said.

Crawley feels that the most valuable aspect of life in Spain is the difference in perspectives of children around the world.

“There’s a monumental diversification and a worldview,” she said, explaining that her older children are now “traveling constantly and have friends all over the world.”

“How they think about the world, how they move around the world, the skills they have…I mean, we traveled the world and lived abroad, so we had a lot of it.

“But to see it unfold. Seeing them create their lives in a way that would never have been before if they were staying in California…it’s just satisfying.”

The biggest cultural adjustment was the slower Spanish bureaucracy. Crawley walked to various government buildings “to get one of the million things you need to get,” remembering that for the first time you’d never manage it.

“I’ll be lucky if I hear about it in two weeks,” she added, sending an email.

“But it’s also part of the Spanish spirit. That’s great. It’s more balance and less panic.”

The family also had to adapt to the Spanish schedule. This is looking at businesses near Siesta in the afternoon.

“Man, Siesta takes me with me every time,” says Crowley. “I’m working in the morning, I’ll complete all my paperwork. So I’m ready to run errands at 1:30pm, I’ll get there, and of course, they’re closed.

“And that’s pretty slow…but I make sense, I’m not challenging. If there is, it’s the opposite… It was so refreshing to see their culture differences.”

The cost of living in Spain was also positive. Even San Sebastian lives in about half of what they spent in Montecito in the country’s more expensive cities.

She was also impressed with Spanish public health care, especially after her mother was treated for health issues. “The level of care…responsiveness,” she said.

Her mother’s proximity to them was invaluable, Crawley said. “If we have to go back to visit her… California is far from Spain, and there are many other places we are trying to explore.”

Crawley said he has not returned to the US since his move, but has no children either. “My kids don’t want to go back,” she said.

Since moving, she has combined her psychology background with personal experiences to create workbooks and online courses, leading others through the process of moving abroad.

“Everyone has a fantasy that moves abroad,” she said. “Whenever you say to someone, I don’t care who they are, they say, ‘Oh, I always imagined moving in Thailand or anywhere, and I was mistakenly contacted by all my friends and friends’ family members who are seeking tips and tricks.

“It’s really fun to watch people decide where to move to start living their dreams.”

And as her own family continues to live their dreams in Spain, Crawley is adored by her three children, and she says she is “leading the accusations” in redefineing their lives.

“My 16 year old told me a year ago. “They can now land and thrive anywhere on Earth… and not even travel will give you that.”

Florida opens second immigration detention facility

Florida opens second immigration detention facility

“This is a priority for the people in our state, and this is a priority for the people in this country,” said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Florida will open a second immigration detention facility at Baker Correctional Facility.
“Deportation Depot” accommodates more than 1,300 people and will be used to remove Lake City Gateway Airport.
The state aims to receive a federal refund for immigration enforcement costs.

In about two weeks, Florida will open a second immigrant detention, processing and deportation facility called the “deportation depot” by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

The new site at Baker Correctional Facility near Lake City in the northeastern part of the state will house more than 1,300 people, announced by the governor and other state officials at an August 14 press conference. US immigration and customs enforcement agencies use nearby Lake City Gateway Airport to transport immigrants.

“This is a priority for the people in our state, it is a priority for the people in this country,” DeSantis said.

The state intended to use camp branding near the Florida State Guard as a second immigration detention facility, but DeSantis said the Baker Correctional Facility is more economical and would cost around $6 million to “run up and run.”

The facility was originally closed within the Florida Department of Corrections due to a shortage of personnel, but DeSantis said the Florida State Guard will serve as staff at the center. (Baker Correctional Facility is not the same as Baker County Detention Center, which is already an ice detention facility.)

Desantis said using the Baker Correctional Institution, or Baker CI, “it’s far less than done blindly, and much less than had to do with crocodile Alcatraz.”

The state poured money into the Everglades site, officially known as the South Florida detention facility that opened on July 1. The state contract is expected to show the facility’s setup of over $250 million, costing $450 million a year.

DESANTIS: Fed reimburses states for immigration enforcement costs

DeSantis said the federal government will refund the state for immigration enforcement. Florida Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie said the agency has been receiving a $655 million grant in collaboration with the federal government for the past three months.

The federal government recently injected $170 billion into the Department of Homeland Security’s immigration and border-related activities.

Larry Keefe, director of the state’s immigration executive committee, criticised the “weaponized judiciary with left-wing lawyers” and “around flank attacks” and said he was trying to hamper the state’s immigration detention efforts.

Friends of the Everglades, a Florida Indian micro-ske tribe, as well as detention facilities at the Big Cypress National Reserve, are suing the state by claiming it is pose a serious threat to the sensitive Everglades ecosystem, endangered species, clean water and dark night sky.

US District Judge Kathleen M. Williams said he would issue a temporary restraining order to halt further construction of the South Florida detention facility and issue a decision on August 21 before the order expires.

Florida officials say they will consider opening another facility at Camp Blanding, the Florida State Guard training center in Clay County, once the capacity of the South Florida detention facility is reached. Currently, there are 1,000 people in detention at the South Florida Detention Facility and the capacity to hold 2,000.

Desantis said the federal government has “increased” removal flights from its South Florida facility. While the state operates the facility, the removal of undocumented immigrants is under federal jurisdiction.

But DeSantis also said opening of South Florida detention facilities increased the number of immigrants who have obtained the state’s “voluntary departure” option. The program is a collaboration between the US Customs and Border Patrol, with Florida purchasing commercial immigrant flights as an alternative to detention.

The state has not revealed whether taxpayer dollars are being used to purchase tickets, the number of tickets purchased so far this year, and which countries these flights are heading.

NASA’s patient rover makes another strange discovery: see photos

NASA’s patient rover joined the mountain of curious discoveries as the space agency released photographs of rocks on the surface of Mars, which look like a helmet from centuries ago.

The rock has pointed peaks, flare “rims” and textures that can lead a reasonable observer to compare it to a witch’s hat or tent.

The texture is formed by spheres above rocks. Similar layers found on Earth are created by chemical weathering, mineral precipitation, or volcanic processes, according to Space.com.

Images taken on August 5 by the Rover’s left mast cam Z camera were chosen as photos of the 234th week of the mission on Mars.

“The target name for this rock is Honehuya, and it appears that the hat shape (the wind on the surface of Mars generally matches the pyramid shape that is common in closed float blocks.

It’s not the first time that Rover has found a rock covered in spheres that sent back photos of rocks scattered in March.

Mars Discovery Camera Key

According to NASA, the patient left Mastcam-Z camera is able to capture panoramic colors and 3D images of the planet’s surface, allowing scientists and observers to see Mars’ features more clearly.

Rover is looking for signs of ancient microbial life as part of a greater task to understand Mars’ habitability.

According to Space.com, the helmet lock provides scientists with clues about Mar’s environmental history.

Patience was sent to investigate the Jezero Crater to study the “wet history” of Red Planet. The rover completed its climb to the top of the crater in December 2024, three years after its landing.

“Perhaps microbial life may have lived in Jezero during one or more of these wet times,” NASA said on the mission’s homepage. “If so, signs of their bodies may be seen in lake beds or shoreline deposits.”

Perseverance’s research aims to open up the way humans reach Mars a few years from now under NASA’s Artemis program. SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk has also expressed his vision to commence an irregular trip to the Red Planet before reaching humanity.

Despite years of war, the US and Europe are still doing business with Russia

Despite years of war, the US and Europe are still doing business with Russia

US President Donald Trump is threatening an additional 25% tariff on other countries buying Russian oil, and an additional 25% tariff on India, in an attempt to put pressure on Moscow to end the war in Ukraine. But the US and Europe itself have billions of dollars in trade with Russia, a small portion of the trade that took place before the war.

India claims it is unfairly targeted by increased tariffs, calling it “unfair” given that other countries are also doing business with Moscow.

Trade between the US has fallen by about 90% since the Kremlin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and the Kremlin began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, but the US still imported goods worth $3 billion, according to the latest data from the US Economic Analysis Agency (BEA) and the Census Bureau.

Meanwhile, the European Union, an American partner in sanctions against Russia, imported 41.9 billion euros (36 billion euros) of goods from Russia in 2024, data from the block statistics agency shows.

“We’re looking forward to seeing you in the world,” said Kimbaride Novan, director of the Economic Statecraft Initiative at Atlantic Council, a DC-based think tank. “They are making great strides to further reduce how much they get from (Russia).”

EU imports from Russia fell 86% between the first quarter of 2022 and 2025, according to Eurostat data.

The views of the processing plant of Eurochem Volgakaliy, a fertilizer company that has developed a potash deposit in the Volgograd region of Russia in September 2024.

“I think there will be plenty of opportunities for the US and even the EU to increase trade with countries like Canada and get the products they need from them,” Donovan added. “It really throws things up for the loop, the trade war and negotiations over the tariffs, reducing our ability to be strategic about how we are approaching Russia’s issues.”

These are the regions where economic relations with Russia remain the strongest for the US and Europe, respectively.

• fertilizer: The US imported $927 million worth of fertilizer in the first half of this year, US Census Bureau data shows. Last year, fertilizer imports from Russia totaled over $1 billion. The United States relies on Russia for importing three types of chemical fertilizers in particular: urea, ammonium urea nitrate (UAN), and potassium chloride and potassium chloride of potassium, also known as potassium, known as potassium.

“As with the US as Belarusian potash, this (the level of trade) is likely to continue unless Russian fertilizer is imported,” said Allan Pickett, head of fertilizer analysis at S&P Global Commodity Insights. “Russia remains one of the most important global fertilizer suppliers, and its impact has not diminished since 2022.”

“Urea and potash could be easily sourced from elsewhere, but potash will further increase your dependence on Canada.

The Trump administration recently hiked tariffs in Canada to a minimum of 35%. This expanded ongoing trade tensions with its north neighbours as the goods comply with the terms of the US Mexico-Canada Free Trade Agreement.

• palladium: While imports from Palladium from Russia have been declining significantly since 2021, data shows that the US imported $878 million worth of metal in 2024 and $594 million worth of metal in 2025 until June. Silver metals are used in a variety of electronic and industrial products and are an important component of car catalytic converters.

• Uranium and Plutonium: The US has imported $755 million worth of uranium and plutonium from Russia so far this year, according to data from the census up until June. In 2024, we imported goods worth $624 million from Russia.

On March 10, 2022, a ship carrying Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) will unload the gas at the port of Bilbao, Spain.

• oil: Russia was the largest supplier of European Union oil before Moscow was the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The EU subsequently imposed a ban on importing oil from Russia by sea, as well as sophisticated petroleum products like diesel. As a result, oil imports to Europe fell from $16.4 billion (140.6 billion euros) in the quarter of 2021 to 1.728 billion euros) in the first quarter of 2025, according to the latest data from Eurostat.

The top European importers of Russian fossil fuels in July 2025 were Hungary, France, Slovakia, Belgium and Spain, according to an analysis by the Energy Research Centre, an international research institute. Analysis shows that Hungary and Slovakia made up a large part of crude oil imports, while others are primarily liquefied natural gas.

• Natural Gas: According to Eurostat data, the value of natural gas imports from Russia has actually increased over the past four years as a result of rising prices, increasing to $5.23 billion (Euro 44.9 billion) in the first quarter of 2025. However, the EU has slightly reduced the Russian market share of liquefied natural gas imports since 2021 – from 22% to 19% in 2025 – a significant increase in US market share.

• Steel: The proportion of Russian iron and steel imports in the EU fell sharply. Iron and steel imports reached $850 million (730 million euros) in the first quarter of 2025, roughly half of the same quarter in 2021, according to EuroStat.

• fertilizer: Sanctions and import duties are not being hit by the fertilizer industry. As a result, European imports of Russian fertilizer have changed little since 2021. In the first quarter of 2025, EU countries imported USD 640 million (EUR 550 million).

• nickel: The EU diversified its imports to rely more on nickel in the US, Norway, the UK and Canada. Still, BLOC imported $300 million (EUR 220 million) worth of nickel from Russia in the first quarter of 2025.

Views of the Russian Nornickel factory, one of the world's leading nickel and palladium producers will be seen in Norilsk city in the Arctic Circle in August 2021.

Beyond the import and export of goods, many Western companies remain entrenched in Russia.

Several notable US-based holdouts continue to operate in Russia, including the top 100 companies, according to a list compiled by Yale Management of Management and the Kiev School of Economics Institute.

Dozens of European companies remain in Russia, including consumer brands, retailers and software companies.

The amount of tax revenue generated by Western companies for the Kremlin is relatively small, but analysts say they allow remaining companies to continue the aspects of their normal life for the Russian population.

Corporate exits will help bring war closer to the Russian people and stand up to their “self-satisfaction” as well as make it more difficult to paint an economy where Putin is working well, said Jeffrey Sonnenfeld of the Yale School of Management.

“It was a collapsed market, not an economic superpower at first. It’s a lot of smoke and mirrors, a lot of brave ones on Putin’s side, and it tries to create an aura of something bigger,” Sonnenfeld told CNN.

India and China’s energy imports

India imported $67 billion worth of goods from Russia in 2024, in contrast to the cuts in trade with Moscow seen in the US and the EU. According to data collected by the UN, India imported $67 billion worth of goods from Russia in 2024. It was about $53 billion worth of oil and crude oil.

In 2021, before the full-scale war, India imported goods worth $8.7 billion from Russia.

India’s Russian oil and gas imports have skyrocketed even before the war began. According to energy data company Vortexa, Russia’s oil currently accounts for 36% of the Indian market. In other words, they import more crude oil from Russia than elsewhere.

China also increased its purchases of Russian crude oil following a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The prices fell after the Western countries sharply reduced Russian fuel imports. According to Vortexa, Russia currently accounts for 13.5% of China’s crude oil imports.

China imported approximately $130 billion in Russian products in 2024. This includes $62.6 billion in oil and crude oil.

The FDA warns about pots that may be leaching lead into food

The FDA warns about pots that may be leaching lead into food

Cooking utensils that are likely still on the shelf may leach lead into food, the Food and Drug Administration said in a warning on August 13th.

The FDA noticed this issue after testing pots made by Indian manufacturers and discovered that they were made of metal alloys made from hindarium/hindrium or indarium/indorium, aluminum, aluminum alloys and brass. These substances are common in certain imported cooking utensils and are not used in the United States, according to the FDA.

There is no known lead exposure that is considered safe. Some have warned agencies, including young children, people of childbirth age and those who are breastfeeding.

Here’s what you need to know.

Which cooking utensils are included in the warning?

The FDA has identified the manufacturer, an Indian aluminum cooking utensil company called Saraswati Strips Pvt. Ltd sells products under the brand name Tiger White. However, we were unable to contact the distributor to begin the recall. This means that the affected products are not being pulled out of the shelves on a large scale.

The affected products are deep pots used for simmering and deep frying, along with the kadais/karahis or the brand name Tiger White. The FDA tested two specific items at Mannan supermarket in Jamaica, New York, and labeled them “Pure Aluminum Atnsils Tiger White RTM No: 2608606 An ISO 9001: 2015 Certified Co. Saraswati StripsPvt. Ltd. India.”

However, the FDA warns that these are not the only potentially affected products and that more can be added as the investigation continues.

What if I have an affected product?

Consumers should check and throw away the listed products and similar cooking utensils at home. You should not attempt to renovate or repair your cooking utensils.

If you have a potential lead exposure, we recommend contacting the FDA with your health care provider.

Retailers and distributors are responsible for ensuring the safety of the cookware they sell, the FDA said. This means that any product that may have an affected product in the market should use FDA’s Readreach Testing Protocol for cooking utensils or alternative testing methods. It is also encouraged to consult with the FDA about the updated safety and regulatory status of food-related products.

FDA questions related to this topic can be submitted to premarkt@fda.hhs.gov.

What is the risk of lead exposure?

The FDA does not permit the use of lead in food-related products, including cooking utensils and other food-contacting surfaces.

Lead is toxic to humans and can be ingested when a product like a cookware leaches into the items that come into contact with it. Even low levels of exposure are associated with serious health issues, including fatigue, headache, stomach pain, vomiting and neurological changes, according to the FDA.

Exposure is particularly dangerous to fetal and child development and can lead to difficulties in learning, low IQ and behavioral changes. Even if you do not show obvious symptoms, babies and children can be permanently affected by increased levels of lead in the blood, especially due to their small size and metabolism.

Will Trump be able to get a Ukrainian peace deal with President Putin? This is what is at risk

Will Trump be able to get a Ukrainian peace deal with President Putin? This is what is at risk

Trump is betting on a meeting with Putin on August 15th. It helps to create breakthroughs that have proven elusive at peace conferences.

One of Donald Trump’s biggest diplomatic events in his second term will unfold in Alaska as the president meets with his Russian counterparts to end the war in Ukraine.

Trump is betting on a face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on August 15th, and could create an elusive breakthrough so far, even if the White House says it’s just a “listening exercise.”

“We’ll know exactly if we can make a deal, perhaps for the first two minutes, at the end of that meeting,” Trump said on August 11th.

The trip was the first time in the United States in 10 years, and his first meeting with the US president since his chilly sit-in with President Joe Biden in 2021. The following year, Putin invaded Ukraine and launched the largest conflict in Europe since World War II.

The summit is closely monitored by Ukrainians and European leaders. They worry that the conditions of peace discussed are not good for Kiev.

Here’s what you need to know about Trump’s Alaska meeting with Putin:

Ukraine is largely excluded

Much of the discussion leading up to the summit was about who wasn’t there.

Ukrainian President Volodymi Zelenki is not present. This raises questions about the amount that can be achieved when one of the crucial aspects of a peace agreement does not exist.

Zelensky and European leaders said that without Ukraine there could not be a decision on a peace agreement. Zelenskyy spoke with Trump twice before the summit.

“I’m not going to trade, it’s not up to me to trade,” Trump declared August 11th.

Attacks territorial concessions

Trump is trying to drive Moscow into the horrors of Kiev and its allies into an agreement that includes the loss of important territory seized by Russia in the war three years ago.

Speculating about the final deal on August 8th, Trump said it would include a “territorial exchange.”

It drew a sharp response from Zelenskyy, who said, “The Ukrainians would not give their land to the occupyers.”

But Trump continued pushing on August 11, saying that he was “a bit troubling” by the Ukrainian leader’s claim that the exchange of land would violate the country’s constitution.

“There will be some exchanges,” Trump insisted on August 11th. “There will be some changes to the land.”

The debate over territorial concessions rests on the summit. Putin claims not only the Black Sea Peninsula of Crimea, which was annexed in 2014, but four Ukrainian regions: Luhansk, Donetsk, Zapolizia and Herson.

Trump’s relationship with Putin is in the spotlight

Trump has had a well-known and warm relationship with Putin over the years, and often praises Russian dictators. Trump reportedly shared the Intelligence News, which was classified as a Russian official, during his first term, attempting to ease US opposition to Russia’s past attacks on Ukraine and its human rights abuses.

Meanwhile, Ukraine and Zelensky appeared in one of the lowest points of Trump’s first term. He was fired up on allegations that he pressured Zelensky to dig up the dirt on his political rival Joe Biden.

Trump’s friendly approach to Putin has been largely continuing as he worked to get a peace deal, focusing his anger on Zelensky, most notably during an explosive, oval office meeting where the two publicly clashed. Trump told Ukrainian leaders that he “doesn’t have a card” when it comes to resolving a dispute that favors the country.

However, recently Trump has repeatedly denounced Putin and complained about his dislike of trying to stop the fight.

Putin escalated an attack on Ukraine before the summit. The summit was called “a sign of extremely malicious” by former GOP house speaker and Trump’s ally Newt Ginrich. Trump said on August 13 that if Putin doesn’t agree to end the war, there will be “very serious consequences.”

Economic punishment while playing

Trump’s tougher approach to Russia is exemplified by his announcement on July 14 that he will collect strict secondary tariffs on countries doing business with Moscow.

The administration took a step forward to punish Russian oil customers on August 6, imposing an additional 25% tariff on goods from India on Russian oil imports. It marked the first financial punishment targeted Russia in Trump’s second term.

Trump said he had said he would place him in Putin if the ceasefire was not reached by August 8th.

The summit will help you determine whether Trump will comply with sanctions.

Trump lowers expectations

Meeting Putin is a big step, but Trump and the White House are underestimating the possibility of a breakthrough.

“This is a really pleasant meeting,” Trump said on August 11th.

White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt called the summit a “hearing movement for the president.”

“Look, there will be only one party involved in this war,” Levitt said on August 12th.

Trump Putin’s reunion

Trump and Putin will meet in Anchorage, Alaska, at the Elmendorf Richardson joint base, home to around 30,000 service members, their families and civilian employees.

Alaska was once a part of Russia. The US bought it in 1867 for $7.2 million.

Trump met with Putin multiple times in 2018 during his first term in office, including Finland’s Helsinki. Putin denied intervening in the 2016 election.

Tour afterglow from Taylor Swift’s “Showgirl” era, full of “bangers”

Tour afterglow from Taylor Swift’s “Showgirl” era, full of “bangers”

If she can do the “tortured poet department” with her broken heart, Taylor Swift plans to show what she can do with the fully restored one.

The pop superstar made her highly anticipated debut on August 13th as a guest on boyfriend Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast. When the episode began, the singer’s website was updated with corsets wrapped in October 3rd in her upcoming ERA life and album covers for Bathwater on the October 3rd release date.

Fans who wanted a physical copy of her 12th era were waiting on the virtual line to order one of four variants: “Sweat and Vanilla Perfume”, “It’s Fearful”, “It’s Furious”, and “It’s Beautiful”.

“I’m very grateful for my ability to create,” Swift said on the podcast, admitting that despite her astronomical success, she never made it easy. “There was more pressure at every stage of my life at the altitude I was attaining. I sometimes had more creative control and freedom, so it felt like it was even more special to keep working hard.”

She wrote, sang and produced “Showgirls” on tours during her European era. The artwork represents the end of her night on the tour.

“My day is finished with me in the bathtub. It’s not usually a wrapped dress,” she said. “I wanted to captivate all the different aspects of how that tour felt.”

During the stop, the singer, with his furious heels and relentless stamina, went in and out of Sweden to work with producers Max Martin and Shelbach. The three collaborated on “Red” Bops and The Albums “1989” and “Resporting.”

“Showgirl” has 12 tracks, including a title track featuring Sabrina Carpenter. Another song is called “Cancel!”

“It’s a banger,” Kelse said as her number one fan. He later appeared on the album, “The Fate of Ophelia” (nod to Hamlet), “Elizabeth Taylor”, “Oparite”, “Father Figure”, “Oldest Son”, “Substitute Friendship”, “Really Romantic”, “wi $h li $t”, “”wood”, “honey.”

Kelce review: Fun, pop, upbeat.

“This album is about to make you dance,” Kelse said.

“He’s like a human exclamation point,” Swift told Jason Kelse.

Travis Kelse said she is “the best songwriter in the world.”

Swift retorted, “My boyfriend says this.”

Why a “new height”?

Travis Kelse and his brother, Jason Kelse have been hosting the “New Heights” podcast since 2022, but this was the first time Swift has been a guest on the show since she and Travis began their highly publicized romance in 2023.

Swift has chosen Kelse’s podcast as its platform, revealing his next album and taking on a new era rather than doing it on his own social media channels and live events.

After the singer wrapped up the hugely popular ERAS tour in December, fans were enthusiastically anticipating the start of the next era. Her previous album, The Tortured Poets Department, was nominated for critical acclaim and Grammy Awards in April 2024, and was nominated for this year’s Grammy Awards.

Taylor Swift’s album comes after the announcement of ownership of the music catalogue

“The Life of a Showgirl” marks Swift’s first release of new music since she became the owner of the entire catalog. In May, she revealed that she had acquired all ownership of her old albums following a dispute with former music manager Scooter Brown.

“All the music I’ve made so far is mine,” she said at the time.

Before this, Swift had re-recorded the first six albums so that she owned all the music. Swift’s self-titled 2006 debut album and her 2017 album “Resporting” were the only ones that had not yet been re-released.

In her May announcement, she told fans that she had already re-delegated “Taylor Swift” but could have still come out. She also said she hasn’t finished re-recording “Reputation” yet, but will eventually release a previously unprecedented “safe” track.

Her family helps her run many of the businesses operating in Tennessee. In the Super Bowl, her brother, Austin and mother Andrea flew to Los Angeles to meet with Shamrock capital officials to discuss buying back the Master.

Swift fought back tears and described the moment her mom called to let her know that she agreed to sell her Shamrock.

“This changed my life,” she said.

Peel off the curtains

The fore and after rhythm between Swift and Kelce is reminiscent of the time of Swift’s Myspace, where she vlogged about life as a teenager alongside her best friend Abigail Anderson. Yes, she misses seeing the crowds and fans of the ERAS tour, but she also loves downtime and spending time with her loved ones.

After using the podcast as a “personal dating app,” Swift met Kelse and urged people in his circle to talk to people in her circle, including Chief Coach Andy Reid.

“This guy didn’t say hello to the competition. That’s everyone’s problem,” she joked about Kelce.

She doesn’t read them when it comes to listening to unnecessary opinions on the internet or on negative comments. Swift turned off Instagram comments 10 years ago and offered advice to people living online.

“Think about your energy as if it were just luxury,” she said. “Not everyone can afford it.”

Holding Kelce’s hand, her vulnerability and open will shine in stark contrast to her previous relationship. Although she hopes her fandom will pause the video, analyze all the pixels and find “Easter Egg” clues in the bookcase behind the couple, transparency may be the biggest point.

She spoke about her father Scott’s recovery from Kint Apple Bypass and her mother Andrea’s knee replacement surgery. Both are going well. Her dad still handing out guitar picks. This time, I went to the hospital staff. “But he wasn’t wearing his pants,” she added.

Her favorite hobby is sourdough bread.

“I’m talking about 60% of the time about bread,” she joked. Lists the types of bread she “knead”: Blueberry Lemon (Kelce’s favorite), Cinnamon Raisins, and Rainbow Funfetti. And the woman after the heart of Panstar, her favorite post-baking tradition is to come up with a witty reference to one of her hits. “The flour song is the door to the pounding screen.” “It’s about bread, baby, just say yeast.” “I should have said dough.” “It was bread that overtaked him.”

Experts say why teenagers are so stressed

If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, help is available. Dial or text 988 or visit 988lifeline.org to provide free and confidential support.

When teens return to school this fall, many parents are worried about their mental health. And justification: teens today, especially girls, are much more likely to say they are saddened or hopeless than they were a decade ago and think about suicide.

40% of high school students reported experiencing enduring sadness and despair in 2023. Youth risk behavior survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US. That figure fell from a 42% high two years ago during the Covid-19 pandemic, but is about 10 percentage points higher than 10 years ago.

Journalist Matt Richell shares insights into why teenagers are so stressed in his new book, How We Grow Up: Adversuenting Adeolscence.

Journalist Matt Richell reveals the mental health crisis of the teenager and what can be done about it in his new book, How We Grow: Inderninged Adolescente. Richtel, a science reporter for the New York Times in Boulder, Colorado, spent four years studying the youth in the book.

In our conversation, Richtel provided important insights into why teenagers are so stressed, and what we can do about it.

The conversation is clearly edited and condensed.

CNN: What explains today’s teenage mental health crisis?

Matt Richell: Adolescent mental health is best understood by understanding what adolescents are experiencing, and there is a new science that can help explain it. They have brains that are very sensitized during periods of time when the world is moving very quickly and receive a large amount of information. Sometimes they experience an overload of information that appears to be intense anti-mission, anxiety, and other mental health distress.

CNN: Does a lot of that information overload come from social media?

Richell: A kind of thing. There is a misconception that phone calls are the idiosyncratic or overwhelming source of the problem. In fact, science is more complicated.

In the 1980s, youth faced immense challenges associated with harsh drinking, drunk driving, early experimentation of gender, injuries and death. These risks have fallen sharply. The key to that context is that it shows that there are major issues that are occurring during this crucial period of living, and taking away the phone won’t solve it.

There is a reason to restrict access to your phone, as screen time replaces sleep, exercise, and face-to-face interactions. At the same time, the challenges faced by adolescents come from a larger phenomenon.

CNN: What is the bigger phenomenon that explains why adolescents are such a tough time?

Richell: Puberty is a process with a very important purpose. In other words, it is known and unknown integration into a rapidly changing world. What is known is what your parents tell you just as you should read books. The unknown is something that actually works when this world is changing. For example, books may not be like that anymore.

This integration of known and unknown creates a great sense of adolescent internal conflict. My parents who love me and feed me have said one thing to me, but I’m discovering something else.

This occurs against the background of declining adolescents. Just as adolescence occurs earlier, it makes the adolescent brains sensitive to all this information early in life when the rest of their brains are not particularly equipped to deal with it. This creates a kind of neurological discrepancy between what adolescents can incorporate and what they can handle.

According to Richell, parents are the biggest influencers in their children's lives.

CNN: Does this also help explain why teens don’t listen to their parents?

Richell: yes. They don’t listen to their parents as they are transitioning to having to learn to care for themselves and their offspring after being cared for by their parents. Some of the research into how teens start listening to their parents and listening to strangers is pretty much entertaining.

When your child sees you with that blank face, you are not looking at jerk, but at evolutionary biology.

I tell my parents, don’t take something like this personally. You tell your child, “Hey, stop it! You sound like a jerk. I don’t like it.” But that’s very different from taking it personally.

CNN: We call this generation of teenagers “generational anti-mission.” why?

Richell: Youth are programmed to explore the world around them. In the past, the search took place outside. “I’m going to fake this river. I’m going to climb this mountain. I’m going to jump off this roof.” Especially since the 1960s, but now there’s more exploration happening inside.

When it happened outside, there were a lot of fractures. Over the past few decades, more and more people have been asking mental health questions.

The question has come to mind over the past 20 years that no one has bothered talking about before. What is a boy and what is a girl? It is uncomfortable for people, and it is part of the survival mechanism of the human species, allowing adolescents to explore for themselves and others.

CNN: You say that many teens don’t know why they feel bad when they have a loved one. why?

Richell: This is an example of what it’s like to feel like adolescence. As a parent, let’s say you take part in a battle with your spouse on the same day your boss leaves. Then you get a bad night’s sleep and the next day you’re driving down the road so you see the driver looking at you, you look over. You will experience road rage. That driver isn’t everything. And perhaps the driver was actually laughing. It’s about the combination of factors that have really led you to feel intense. We sometimes feel that way as parents. That’s how youth feel all the time.

So when they say they don’t understand why they feel that way, I think we can empathize, or at least sympathize as parents.

CNN: Some believe that the reason why more teenagers today have mental health issues is because they are diagnosed and spoken more than they did in the past. Or is there more teenagers actually having mental health issues?

Richell: I think both are true. There are teenagers with mental health challenges. We are scrutinizing it very much.

CNN: I say social media has a very different effect on different children. Why is this?

Richell: Interestingly, some kids actually feel better after using social media. Some kids are feeling sick. It really depends on your genetic predisposition and how much you use it.

If you use it all the time, you are replacing anything you know to be truly healthy (sleep, exercise, face-to-face interactions, etc.). That’s really important. However, using it at that moment can have different effects on various children. Some kids will be happy.

If you are lonely and want to connect with someone, it’s different from when you tend to compare yourself to others, and whenever you see a superficially healthy, wealthy, beautiful person online, you say “it’s awful when you compare.” Or look at someone online at the fit and say, “I need to stop eating.” But not everyone has that predisposition.

CNN: What advice do you give parents when their kids get back to school and their teens get overwhelmed?

Richell: We need to teach our children coping skills.

Some of the things they need are to allow Rather than trying to have a rational conversation, it gives off emotions. If your child says, “Everyone in grade 9 hates me,” that’s not that reasonable. It is probably the product of a lot of material, such as insomnia, bad experiences, and trying to deal with a lot of information.

Some of the coping skills we are talking about include putting your face in the snow, taking a cold shower or exercising, all neurotransmitters and neurochemicals calming down.

If you can afford it, cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy are tools that make people realize that they can deal with and let go of these sensations they have in their bodies.

But at this point, when you try to have that conversation with a child, you add information to your already paralyzed brain. An overwhelmed child is like a computer with a blue screen. When adding information, it’s like hitting the Enter key many times. I’m not going to do anything.

Move them without trying to speak of reason. It’s hard for them to be reasonable during an overload, so wait until they’re ready to hear you. Parents are truly the biggest influencers in their children’s lives.

Putin praises Trump’s peace efforts and floats potential nuclear deals at the Alaska Summit

Putin praises Trump’s peace efforts and floats potential nuclear deals at the Alaska Summit

Russian President Vladimir Putin praised the Trump administration’s “energy” efforts to stop the war in Ukraine, hinting that Moscow and Washington could attack nuclear weapons control trades during a summit in Alaska on Friday.

In his first public comments since US President Donald Trump announced the Alaska Summit, Putin chaired a meeting of senior Russian officials in the Kremlin on Thursday, explaining to them during negotiations with the US in Ukraine.

“The current American administration, in my opinion, is making a very energetic and sincere effort to stop hostility, stop the crisis and reach an interesting agreement for all involved in this conflict,” Putin said.

In his brief remarks, Putin said the summit with the US “is aiming to create long-term conditions for peace in our country, Europe and throughout the world.”

He suggested that this wider peace could be achieved in the “next phase” of his discussion with the US if he “reached an agreement in the field of strategic offensive weapons control.”

It was not clear what contracts Putin was referring to, but most strategic weapons treaties between the US and Russia cover nuclear weapons, or nuclear-responding missile systems.

The US and Russia have agreed to limit the arsenal of nuclear weapons under the new initiation treaty that came into effect in 2011. Under the agreement, the two countries were in the seven years to meet defined limits on the number of nuclear weapons in the intercontinental range deployed. However, the treaty is expected to expire in February 2026.

In a sign of uncertainty between the two countries, Trump said he ordered two nuclear submarines to be strategically placed near Russia this month in response to what he said was a “very provocative” statement by former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev.

Medvedev is prone to volatile explosions on social media, and often elevating the ghosts of nuclear conflicts, but Trump said he made the decision “just in case these stupid, inflammatory statements are more than that.”

Trump said Thursday that Putin believes he is “into make a deal” to end the war in Ukraine during talks.

“Now he believes he’s sure he’s going to do the deal. He’s going to do the deal. I think he’s going,” the US leader appeared on Fox Radio’s “Brian Killmead Show.”

Trump suggests that the goal is to move towards a second meeting with Ukrainian President Voldimir Zelensky. There are “3 different locations” at the table. Trump told Fox Radio that he could “stay in Alaska.”

The second meeting aimed at setting up Friday’s talks will be “a more important meeting,” Trump said in his oval office later Thursday. “We’re going to hold a meeting with President Putin, President Zelensky, myself. We’ll probably bring in some of our European leaders, but that’s not,” he said.

Also on Thursday, Putin’s foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov shared details on the plans for Friday’s summit, saying that the president will have a one-on-one conversation first and with the help of an interpreter, before continuing his business lunch.

The aide said the talks will focus on the war in Ukraine and the prospects for Russia-US cooperation on trade and economic issues. He said the president will hold a joint press conference after the talks.

But Trump told Fox Radio’s Brian Kilmeade that he could decide to hold a solo press conference if the meeting “isn’t finished well.”

“I’m going to have a press conference. I don’t know if it’s going to be a joint or not. We’re not discussing that either. I think it’s good to have a joint and then separate it from it,” he said.

Ushakov will become one of five members of the Russian negotiation team, along with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Defense Minister Andrei Belusov, Finance Minister Anton Silanov and senior negotiator of the Russian Sovereign Wealth Fund, Kiril Dmitriev.

Ukraine and Europe were not invited to Friday’s summit, raising fears that Kiev could be forced to make unwanted concessions.

He was eager to get one last time Trump’s ears before he sat one-on-one with Putin.

The Europeans carefully threw bright notes after the meeting. Trump was sympathetic to the call for an immediate ceasefire, claiming that Ukraine should have a seat at the table in future negotiations.

United Health Stocks have had their worst year since the Great Recession

United Health Stocks have had their worst year since the Great Recession

The value of Healthcare Giants has been free autumn this year as bad news continues to accumulate.

David Jagielski
|A miscellaneous fool

For many years, UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) It was usually a reliable dividend stock. However, the terrible start to 2025 has wiped out many of the profits investors have achieved in recent years. Negative region.

In the future, stock prices will be down nearly 45%, which is by no means normal for medical stocks. In fact, this is the worst it has done since the Great Recession, which fell by more than 54% in 2008.

Here are some big questions that many investors are asking today: Can it be recovered? Or is there even more downfall due to stocks that were once seemingly unstoppable?

Not the standard for United Health

The past few years have not been so great for UnitedHealth, but by and large, this has been a rather strong inventory. It usually outperforms the market. And outside of 2024, when it fell 4% – the year ended in red when the US economy was in the midst of the Great Recession in 2008, when stocks lost more than half their value.

United Health usually safety Stock, it was also a tremendous growth stock. If you invested $10,000 in stocks at the end of 2003, consider the investment 20 years later worth $181,000.

But if you’d been strolling around up until now, that investment would have fallen to a value of $101,000. It’s still a good return, but it spotlights how important this year’s decline is due to stocks that are usually known for being solid long-term investments. Still, the past does not predict the future.

Why companies may face tougher paths ahead

The problem with UnitedHealth is that we face many challenges. Healthcare costs are rising and there is a lot of uncertainty in healthcare as the federal government is trying to cut costs. Meanwhile, the Department of Justice is reportedly considering UnitedHealth’s claims practices.

The danger is that companies may face financial consequences and other headwinds, such as having to change their practices. However, the latter could be a short-term trend.

In any case, this is a business known for consistently expanding its operations, and it may no longer be a certainty. UnitedHealth generated healthy profits of over $14.4 billion with revenues of $444 billion in 2024, but investors’ concerns about long-term growth seem to be the weight of the stock price. In May, the company suspended its forecast for the year. He also announced the CEO change, with Andrew Witty resigning for personal reasons, and former CEO Stephen Hemsley took over.

Should I buy UnitedHealth Stock today?

UnitedHealth’s stock has been on track for the past few years, but that doesn’t mean that rebounding is a sure bet.

The good news is that it still has a solid foundation. It’s a major US insurance company, so I’d be hesitant to count it in the long run. There are some short-term risks and even long-term uncertainties about how all changes in the healthcare industry will pan out.

However, the stock is trading at its first level since 2020, and its valuation is only 12 times the revenues since then. I think it gives a sufficient safety margin at the current price, and buying it today might prove to be a solid move. As long as you want to be patient, this could be a good stock to buy and hold.

David Jagielski has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. Motley Fool recommends the UnitedHealth Group. Motley Fools have a disclosure policy.

Do I currently need to invest $1,000 in UnitedHealth Group?
