If work-life balance is hard to come by for many American workers, then it’s virtually impossible to achieve for working parents. A new study from the Pew Research Center captures just how porous the boundary is for parents who are struggling to juggle work and life. For the majority of parents, their caregiving responsibilities bleed into work—and vice versa.

FoodNeverComes has all the trappings of a food delivery app. You can scroll through a list of restaurants, select your items, and make modifications, then enter your address and method of payment and track the courier as they bring the food to your door. The only catch? As the app’s name implies, the food never actually comes.

Leaders of the Group of Seven gathered on Tuesday to discuss Russia’s war in Ukraine along with a tentative deal struck by U.S. President Donald Trump to end the conflict with Iran.

The first full day of the G7 summit of leading industrialized nations is being held in the French town of Evian-les-Bains.

Shortly before his arrival, Trump announced an agreement to end the 3 1/2-month-old U.S. war against Iran.

“Now that this (Iran) is finished, we’re going to be focusing on that,” Trump said.
The leaders will also hold a working session focused on ending crises and ensuring stability in the Middle East. They are expected to discuss the global economic crisis resulting from the war and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Egypt, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates will join the talks.

The G7 includes France, the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom. Guest nations at this summit include Brazil, Egypt, India, Kenya, South Korea, Qatar, Ukraine and the UAE.

Two days after going public, SpaceX is already bigger than both Amazon and Microsoft.

Yet another study shows that the more you let artificial intelligence do the thinking for you, the less capable you are on your own.

A tentative deal to end the Iran war makes it reasonable to ask how soon prices will drop for gasoline, groceries, airline tickets and other items that got more expensive during the conflict.

Not so fast, experts say.

Even after oil starts flowing again from the Middle East, it could take a while for consumers to see a difference at local fuel pumps, supermarkets and other places they shop, according to economists and industry analysts.

Fighting over the Strait of Hormuz disrupted not only supplies of crude and refined fuel but also the supply chains for fertilizer, food and even footwear. Businesses expect higher costs to linger, which means their customers might need to prepare for that too.

“It is not clear, despite three months of war, that anything has been achieved that makes the American consumer better off,” Brett House, an economist who teaches at Columbia Business School, said. “In fact, by almost any measure, not just the American consumer, but the world, is worse off as a result of this attack.”

If the deal between the U.S. and Iran holds, here’s how experts see the war’s effects receding — or not — in the weeks ahead:

Like people, brands make mistakes. And when they do, in order to rebuild trust with the public, it’s important that they acknowledge their errors. 

Blue Bottle Coffee, the coffee chain, has long been known for its cold drinks—particularly its New Orleans-style iced coffee cold brewed with chicory root. But while cold brewing in this traditional way has more or less been perfected, the need to pull hot shots of espresso has remained a damper on iced lattes everywhere.
