WorkThe latecomer advantage in startupsI’ll end with the evergreen reminder that I absolutely love going to startup happy hours and VC dinners in San Francisco, so do let me know if you’re throwing one! And if you’re still working on your social engine like me, I’m also always game to do a 1:1 coffee chat or dumpling lunch. Work � | | WorkOpinion: Why police reform utterly failed to protect Tyre Nichols | CNN Such deaths are preventable, but training or a patchwork of local policies will not be sufficient. Transformation will look like dedication to change through federal legislation that addresses the use of no-knock warrants, duty to intervene, use of excessive force, and other dangerous policing issues; the placement of strong political change-makers in office through voting and a commitment by the criminal "justice" system to hold corrupt police officers accountable for their actions through administrative and criminal charges.

When issues do arise, we take complaints extremely seriously and they are acted upon quickly. WorkClare Drakeford, wife of Waless first minister, diesSpeaking on an ITV Wales podcast, the first minister said: "It is a bit emotional. I've been married for a very long time and not to be in the house and to be at a physical distance, even though we saw each other every day and talked every day, it was a puzzling experience in that sort of way and for that to be over it is a bit emotional for everybody." WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkFed Set to Shrink Rate Hikes Again as Inflation SlowsWith inflation now only making glacial progress back to target, Brazilian central bankers this week have little choice but to keep the key rate at 13.75% for a fourth meeting. Economists surveyed by the bank see just 229 basis points of slowing over the next four years, which would mean missing the target for a seventh straight year in 2025. WorkWorkThis is the biggest regret most retirees have, survey shows“Generally, women are less confident in retirement and generally more anxious. Part of that is they oftentimes are not in the workforce for the entirety of their career, and so they\'re not benefiting from that time in savings,\" Miles said. \"This is one area where the [auto-enrollment plans] will really help, where we\'re going to get more and more women in the workforce actually saving for retirement for longer.\" WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkHamlin conveys gratitude in 1st public comments\"I will continue to do wonderful and great things,\" Hamlin said. \"I couldn\'t do this without any of the support and the love and I can\'t wait to continue to take y\'all on this journey with me.\" WorkAgent: Turner, Pacers reach 2-yr., $60M extensionTurner is one of three players with at least 50 3-pointers and 75 blocks this season -- along with Memphis\' Jaren Jackson Jr. and Milwaukee\'s Brook Lopez, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

The growth, the amount of basketball maturity, how to win games, all of that comes into play. WorkWWE Royal Rumble live results: Men's battle royale kicks things offBelair, meanwhile, will defend her championship against Alexa Bliss, who once again is aligned with the dark forces of Bray Wyatt along with the mysterious Uncle Howdy. Wyatt, too, will be in action, his first since he returned to the company this fall, when he meets LA Knight in what\'s being called a Pitch Black Match. WorkInside the first QB duel between Jalen Hurts and Brock PurdyManning: \"Yeah, there was a lot of contact back there in the corner if you\'re asking my opinion. [Purdy] had to make a quick decision, get the ball out of his hand, a little off balance, and probably wasn\'t able to get the timing and velocity he wanted to get on the throw. But we had a chance to make a play on it and you\'ve got to give them credit -- contact, no contact, they made a play on the ball and there was no flag. Obviously, it was very unfortunate for our guys to get no flag and for the game to end that way after fighting back in the fourth quarter and getting it to that point. But it was a heck of a game.\" WorkStefanos Tsitsipas vs. Novak Djokovic: Who wins the men's final?What\'s Djokovic\'s win streak up to at Melbourne Park? 27 matches? Yeah, it\'s going to be very tough to pick against him, regardless of who he\'s playing and how in-form that opponent might be. Assuming his right hamstring doesn\'t cause him problems, Djokovic will win this match in four entertaining sets. And let\'s face it, even if his leg does give him grief, a four-set win is still the likely result.

Anaheim can see the big picture here. Playoffs are out, clearly. But the Ducks have cap space to spare, a trade deadline looming to start the healing -- er, improving -- process and great odds in the Connor Bedard sweepstakes. And those are the odds that really matter for Anaheim. WorkNFL conference championship betting tips: Five props that popFurthermore, as touched on earlier, Kansas City exists as the third pass-heaviest offense. The Chiefs like to throw it up early and often, recording the highest first-quarter pass rate. The Bengals execute in a similar fashion, ranking second in first-quarter pass rate. With both teams regularly putting the ball in the air (from the jump), the odds of a high-scoring game increase, obviously. The potential to-and-fro suggests regular changes (as does the 1-point spread), paving the way for Mahomes to YOLO his way to 280-plus passing yards. WorkWill Rodgers play for Packers in 2023? These teammates could tip the scaleMost likely outcome: Like Lazard, Tonyan tests the market when free agency opens and if it’s not to his liking considers what the Packers have to offer. Other than Bakhtiari, he’s the player whose return seems least tied to Rodgers’ future. With or without Rodgers, the Packers need a guy like Tonyan.
