A Delaware judge has upheld her earlier decision to rescind Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s massive pay package from 2018, marking a significant setback for Musk and Tesla’s corporate directors. On Monday, Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick denied a request by Musk’s legal team and Tesla directors to overturn her ruling, which found the $56 billion compensation package to be the product of sham negotiations. The unprecedented pay package was challenged by a Tesla stockholder in a lawsuit, alleging that Musk and Tesla’s board failed to act independently during its creation. The package, tied to Tesla’s stock performance, has fluctuated in…

Despite stepping away from European football, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo continue to command global admiration. The two legends are the only players outside Europe’s top leagues to feature on the prestigious 26-man shortlist for the World Team of the Year, organized by FIFPRO, the global players’ union. At 37 and 39, respectively, Messi and Ronaldo’s enduring influence in the sport stands in stark contrast to other non-European stars, including Egypt’s Mohamed Salah, who remains absent from this year’s lineup. The other 24 nominees are players who competed in England, Germany, Spain, and France during the 2023 season. Kylian…

Omega fatty acids are well-known for their health benefits, with omega-3, -6, and -9 dominating discussions about nutrition. However, a lesser-known group, omega-7s, is gaining attention as the “beauty omegas” for their remarkable role in promoting skin, hair, and overall health. What Are Omega-7s? Omega-7s are monounsaturated fats found naturally in the body, particularly in fatty tissue, liver, and skin. Key compounds in this group include palmitoleic acid, rumenic acid, and vaccenic acid. Palmitoleic acid, rich in beta-carotene, is particularly noteworthy for its skin-hydrating properties. Recent studies suggest that omega-7s offer benefits similar to omega-3s, with their ability to support…

Israel launched its most extensive airstrikes across Lebanon since a ceasefire with Hezbollah was brokered last week, leaving at least 11 dead on Monday. The escalation occurred after Hezbollah fired projectiles at Israeli positions, citing alleged violations of the truce by Israel. This marks the first Hezbollah attack on Israeli forces since the 60-day ceasefire took effect last Wednesday, aimed at ending over a year of hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel. The ceasefire is part of a broader attempt to stabilize the region amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported that Israeli airstrikes on Haris and…

Over the past few years, the Adidas Samba has reigned supreme as the go-to sneaker for fashion enthusiasts and celebrities alike.

Oxford University Press has named “brain rot” as its Word of the Year for 2024, reflecting the term’s growing cultural relevance. The evocative phrase, which saw a 230% increase in usage over the past year, was chosen through a mix of public voting and linguistic analysis. Defined as “the supposed deterioration of a person’s mental or intellectual state, especially viewed as the result of overconsumption of material (now particularly online content) considered to be trivial or unchallenging,” brain rot encapsulates concerns about modern digital life and its impact on mental health. Casper Grathwohl, President of Oxford Languages, explained…

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has come to the defense of star forward Kylian Mbappe following criticism over his inconsistent performances since joining the club from Paris Saint-Germain this summer. While Mbappe has scored seven goals in La Liga, his impact in the Champions League has been limited, with just one goal in five appearances. The 25-year-old France captain faced a challenging outing on Wednesday, where he was effectively neutralized by Liverpool’s 21-year-old defender Conor Bradley in Real’s 2-0 Champions League defeat at Anfield. The loss leaves Real Madrid in a precarious position, clinging to the competition’s final playoff spot…

A start-up based in Paraisopolis, São Paulo’s second-largest favela, is revolutionizing e-commerce logistics in Brazil’s underrepresented communities. Favela Brasil Xpress, a delivery service founded in 2020, is set to complete 80,000 deliveries during this year’s Black Friday alone, marking its largest operation yet.

We experienced over 70% growth in demand compared to our usual operations,”…

The U.S. Navy is turning a $7.5 billion misstep into a strategic advantage by retrofitting the USS Zumwalt, one of its most advanced destroyers, to carry hypersonic missiles. Currently docked at a Mississippi shipyard, the stealthy warship is being equipped with missile tubes to host the cutting-edge “Conventional Prompt Strike” hypersonic weapon system. Hypersonic weapons, capable of traveling more than five times the speed of sound (Mach 5), offer unparalleled speed and maneuverability, making them exceptionally difficult to intercept. The U.S. Navy and Army are collaborating on the Conventional Prompt Strike system, which combines ballistic missile technology with a hypersonic…
