landlords that are supposed to be in competition with each other "outsource daily pricing and ongoing revenue oversight" to RealPage. The company allegedly facilitates and encourages landlords to work cooperatively to increase rents. An e-book produced by RealPage says that the company allows corporate landlords who are “technically competitors” to "work together . . . to make us all more successful in our pricing

The way he found that the algae was chock full of arginine is an impressive feat. After school and on weekends, he’d collect samples of the invasive algae, drying it, crushing it up in a powder, then sending that powder to a lab to break it down into the different elements contained within.

And so, after nearly three years of diving, collecting samples, and testing them, Spring was able to make the connection between the sea turtle tumors and good old fashioned pollution.

Are stars vanishing into their own black holes? A bizarre binary system says 'yes'

There are also wider repercussions. A supernova explosion is an element factory.

Not only are elements such as oxygen, carbon and nitrogen in a dying star's outer layers blasted into space where they can be recycled into the next generation of stars and planets, the intense heat and energy of the supernova shockwave can result in the formation of even heavier elements in supernova debris. For instance, one of the reasons supernovas shine so bright for so long is that the radioactive decay of nickel isotopes produced in the explosion lead to the formation of cobalt and iron.

High-performers, women and millennials, three groups that prize flexibility, are the biggest flight risks.

High-performers may feel especially resentful about mandates, particularly if they maintained performance or over-delivered during the pandemic. They may perceive RTO mandates as a signal of mistrust from management

Emails that began “Dear Employee” were sent to personal addresses after midnight. At Tesla’s battery factory in Nevada, many staff started their Monday with gridlock at the front gate. They were diverted to a parking lot where security guards scanned badges to discern who still had jobs and who had been laid off. One person who learned they had been let go this way said it was the coldest and most humiliating experience of their career.

10 Modern 'Mechanical Turks': When Automation Is Just Humans in Disguise

During demonstrations for pharmacy executives, Theranos employees were secretly running tests on outside lab equipment. It was one of the biggest automation frauds in history, that sent Holmes to jail for an 11-year sentence in 2023.

An attack of the vapours: Tennessee bill endorses chemtrails conspiracy theory

Should the chemtrails legislation pass in the Tennessee house – intriguingly, members are due to consider it on 1 April – then Bill Lee, the state’s Republican governor, will have the final say as to whether it passes into law.

That would be a victory for Monty Fritts, a legislator who has championed the bill in the house, in what is gearing up to be a big month for the Republican.

Fritts introduced a resolution earlier this year calling for Tennesseeans to “join in a 30-day season of prayer and intermittent fasting” in July “to seek God’s hand of mercy healing on Tennessee”.

That motion passed the house on 5 March, and could be adopted around the same time as the chemtrails legislation.

During the first half of the 20th century, many psychologists believed that showing affection towards children was merely a sentimental gesture that served no real purpose. According to many thinkers of the day, affection would only spread diseases and lead to adult psychological problems.

"When you are tempted to pet your child, remember that mother love is a dangerous instrument," behaviorist John B. Watson once warned.

The resulting report, published in late December, was headlined “‘Screams Without Words’: How Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence on Oct. 7.” It was a bombshell and galvanized the Israeli war effort at a time when even some of Israel’s allies were expressing concern over its large-scale killing of civilians in Gaza.
