For baby-boomer parents, life without kids often feels like suddenly slamming on the brakes after years in the fast lane. They’re the healthiest, wealthiest and best-educated generation of parents in human history, and they’ve poured their energy into making sure that their kids got the best of everything, from soccer camp to SAT-prep classes. Now they’re facing a mass exodus from the nest. Over the next few years the number of high-school graduates will rise steadily to a peak of 3....

The Disney-owned cable tv network posted an open letter to Instagram on Saturday evening, getting candid about the circumstances involving the genetic makeup of the fictional mermaid. “Yes. The original author of ‘The Little Mermaid’ was Danish,” the letter begins. “Ariel…..is a mermaid. She lives in an underwater kingdom in international waters and can even legit swim wherever she wants (even though that often upsets King Triton, absolute zaddy.)”...

The French Laundry, a three Michelin-star restaurant in Younteville, Napa Valley, apparently received two loans which were both approved on April 30 - the first loan for more than $2.2 million to retain 163 employees and the second loan for $194,656 to retain a further five employees. This was 17 times more than what the average Bay Area restaurant received from the PPP, according to analysis from ABC7. The PPP was established by the CARES Act of 2020 to help “small businesses with funds to pay up to 8 weeks of payroll costs including benefits....

According to a statement shared by ICE, the individual, whose identity has yet to be released as officials work to identify next of kin, was a 40-year-old native of Angola. It is still unclear how the French national came to arrive in the U.S. or why they were being held under ICE custody. The agency has yet to detail what led up to the individual’s death. Newsweek has requested more information from ICE....

The magnitude of the occasion appeared to get to unseeded teenager Vondrousova in her first major final and the clinical Barty took advantage, breezing to a 6-1, 6-3 victory. Barty, playing her first grand slam singles final after a doubles triumph at the US Open last year, became the first Australian since Margaret Court 46 years ago to be crowned champion at Roland Garros. Vondrousova, playing on Court Philippe-Chatrier for the first time, was brushed aside by a steely Barty, who took just 71 minutes to seal a victory that will move her up to a career-high second in the rankings....

The attack occurred on Saturday morning in the town of Romans-sur-Isère, in the Drome department. Mayor Marie-Hélène Thoraval confirmed that two people had been killed, according to France 24. Thoraval said that at least four others had been wounded by the assailant, who targeted people shopping for food, Reuters reported. “My first thoughts are with the victims and their relatives,” Thoraval wrote in a statement posted to Twitter, noting that the attack took place at around 11 a....

The entirety of the resolution reads, “The Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives, the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate, and the United States Capitol Police shall take such actions as may be necessary to prohibit President Donald John Trump from entering the United States Capitol at any time after the expiration of his term as President.” Williams’ bill came the day after Trump was impeached by the U....

The girl wasn’t listening, though. Not to me and not to all the things her mama’s ghost must’ve been whispering inside her head. She was off in her own world. I knew what was going to happen next, and wasn’t a damned thing I could do to stop it. ‘We’ve got to get home,’ I said. ‘You go, Bessie,’ Vera said. ‘Tomorrow’s a work day, girl.’ ‘Tell them I felt something coming on,’ she said....

Whether a movie, TV or rock star, more than 2,400 celebrities are represented on the famous walkway—but there are a few surprising names missing. This week, it was announced that the late Carrie Fisher is to be posthumously included in the Hollywood Walk of Fame class of 2022 and honored with her own star. Many fans of the beloved Star Wars legend were shocked to find out that she did not already have one....

From LeBron James to Stephen Curry and from Magic Johnson to Steve Kerr and Gregg Popovich, several players and coaches have never made a mystery of their disdain for the president. James and Curry are among the athletes who have endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden ahead of the presidential elections on November 3, but Trump has his own cast of support in the world of sport. Former NFL star Herschel Walker last week renewed his support for the Republican incumbent, whom he described as the best man to run the country and the victim of misrepresentation by the media....

I also see that I’m turning even more into the sort of person I describe in my book. The Bobos are bourgeois Bohemians, the people across upscale America who are half hippies and half Yuppies. They see themselves as artists and creative people who are trying to hang on to their high thinking even as they get drawn deeper into the world of high finance. You see them going to work in black T shirts and those teeny-tiny steel-frame glasses because they think they can keep up their counterculture bona fides if they show up for the morning meeting looking like Franz Kafka....

First Women to Overwinter in the Arctic Solo Svalbard, Norway Two women and one (female) dog isolated in a remote trappers’ hut for 16 months with 50 plus polar bears right outside their door. This is pandemic life for Sunniva Sorby and Hilde Fålun Strøm, the first women to overwinter in the high Arctic without men during the 2019–20 winter. These two citizen scientists resumed their “Hearts in the Ice” mission in Svalbard, Norway (140 km/87 miles from civilization) for a second winter, in an effort to bring climate change research to scientific and educational institutions, and inspire engagement around what each of us can do....

“He was OK for this game, it was just an option,” explained the manager after the match. “He played last Sunday, I cannot play with 12 players, I cannot use on the bench 19 or 20. You wanted to see Henrikh Mkhitaryan, I wanted too. I cannot play all of them at the same time so it was just an option. Blind’s United transfer arranged via e-mail “Players have to win their positions....

The basic smoothie - fruit, yogurt and ice whirled in a blender - has been popular on the West Coast since the ’70s. Smoothies became a fixture at health clubs and juice bars during the last decade, and now smoothie bars are starting to pop up. ““People look at smoothies as a meal replacement,’’ says Isenberg. ““They’re quick, and they’re perceived as healthy.’’ When they’re made with fat-free yogurt and fresh fruit, smoothies are healthful, but they can deliver up to 500 calories....

In their Oct. 4 tweet, SportsCenter tweeted out their usual AP top 10 in the polls, but added another line for No. 11 Florida. MORE: Week 7 bowl projections | Miami players try to punk FSU kicker No big deal right? Well, it wasn’t until SportsCenter tweeted the latest polls again Sunday, failing to add the 11th line for, you guessed it, Florida State. Naturally, FSU didn’t take kindly to that, considering the whole “SportsCenter has SEC bias” thing....

The 20-year-old has only played in two games - against Sheffield United and Millwall - since his recovery from a shoulder injury. And he took to the social media to announce his readiness for the game against Dean Smith’s men. “Working hard and looking forward to our next match,” Ojo tweeted. Ojo has scored two goals in nine appearances across all competitions since his loan move from Liverpool in the summer....

Certainly most of us would welcome two of the proposed changes. The SEI2 wants to mandate the use of plain English in prospectuses, those dense disclosure statements that are mailed to investors before they can buy a fund. It’s hard to see how we’re better off slogging through a lot of turgid legalese to find out what we’re sinking our money into. The SEC also wants to allow investors to buy funds based on a shortened version of a prospectus, called a profile prospectus....
