Jewish MLB players ‘stand with Israel’ in video condemning Hamas attack

Baseball players are often averse to voicing political stances or taking sides in conflicts that don’t take place on a diamond. Fans, after all, come in all stripes. Backing Israel in its bloody conflict against Hamas is proving different. Former MLB infielder and current Texas Rangers executive Ian Kinsler wore the jersey of the Israeli national team Wednesday when he threw the ceremonial first pitch before Game 3 of the American League Championship Series. Kinsler managed the Israel national team during the 2023 World Baseball Classic. On Thursday, Israel Baseball posted a video on X, formerly known as Twitter, that featured 19 current and former major leaguers stating they are Jewish and asking viewers to “stand up against antisemitism” and “support Israel.” Houston Astros All-Star thir...

How to Set Boundaries at Work

Setting boundaries at work—in this economy—might seem like a pipe dream. Not be available 24/7? Not smile and accept every new assignment? Not push back when a colleague tries to steal your time?It could be your best career (and mental health) move: Establishing expectations for what you will and will not tolerate is key to increasing productivity and wellbeing, experts agree. “Boundaries are limits or personal rules that protect your time and energy and allow you to perform at your best,” says Melody Wilding, a licensed social worker and author of Trust Yourself: Stop Overthinking and Channel Your Emotions for Success at Work. “Everyone likes certainty and clarity, and that’s what boundaries provide.”Sticking up for yourself is particularly essential, she adds, when you consider how many ...

RAMALLAH, West Bank —  With each passing day, clashing narratives put forth by Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas about their bloodiest war to date have diverged ever more dramatically.But a dozen days into the conflict, after a lethal conflagration in the Gaza Strip, these dueling realities presented the starkest contrast yet — and underscored the danger that an already chaotic and unpredictable war could widen regionally.In the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank and across the Arab world, furious condemnation of Israel erupted over the deadly blast Tuesday night on the grounds of a Gaza hospital packed with Palestinians driven from their homes. Hamas blamed an Israeli airstrike.In Tel Aviv on Wednesday, a visiting President Biden firmly backed Israel’s content...

Gulshan Devaiah explains why he says no to roles that don’t catch his interest | Web Series

Interestingly, Gulshan has also come a long way from playing a small role in his debut film Dum Maaro Dum to playing the lead in Duranga, both directed by Rohan Sippy. Shining in one role after another in the OTT space, Gulshan also has a sense of humour behind the camera.

AI Can Make Cancer Treatment More Equitable

Many are aware of the Cancer Moonshot—an ambitious and hopeful initiative of the U.S. government to reduce cancer-related death rates by 50% by the year 2047. It will take an army to achieve this goal, composed of the brightest minds and biggest hearts in healthcare, science, and technology. Many parties will be involved—the federal government, healthcare providers, researchers, patients, caregivers, and advocates, among others in both the public and private sectors. One of the most pivotal tools that can help propel us toward this lofty goal is artificial intelligence (AI), which is poised to revolutionize cancer treatment. The moonshot plan identifies five priority areas, all of which AI has the potential to enhance. Two areas in particular lend themselves to AI: the call to “deliver the...

Where to Sign Up for TSA Precheck

I’ve had TSA Precheck for years, with no regrets. The fee works out to just $15 annually, and every time I’ve taken a trip by air and faced shorter lines at security, I’ve been glad I signed up. The only real hassle was that I had to take several hours out of my day to drive to the airport for an in-person interview. But it turns out this isn’t a necessary part of the process: You can actually enroll in Precheck at a variety of non-airport locations—including some Staples stores.TSA Precheck is the simplest and cheapest of the airport security programs, but if you’d like to decide for yourself, we have a comparison here. If you travel internationally often, you may want Global Entry instead, which only costs a little bit more and includes Precheck privileges. There’s another popular progra...
