In conclusion, the end of the "lying flat" savings era serves as a wake-up call for those who have embraced the idea of passive income as a panacea for life's challenges. While financial independence is undoubtedly a worthy goal, it requires careful planning, adaptability, and a willingness to confront the complexities of the modern economy. By reimagining our approach to money, work, and personal fulfillment, we can chart a path towards a more sustainable and fulfilling future.Stephen A.

Title: Unstoppable! Champions League 6-time winners bag 5th consecutive victory, sweep Real Madrid and AC Milan, advance easily!The large package of aid includes a significant amount of munitions, including for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems and the Hawk air defence system. It also will provide Stinger missiles and 155mm and 105mm artillery rounds, officials said. The officials, who said they expect the announcement to be made on Monday, spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details not yet made public. The new aid comes as Russia launched a barrage of attacks against Ukraine’s power facilities in recent days, although Ukraine has said it intercepted a significant number of the missiles and drones. Russian and Ukrainian forces are also still in a bitter battle around the Russian border region of Kursk, where Moscow has sent thousands of North Korean troops to help reclaim territory taken by Ukraine. Earlier this month, senior defence officials acknowledged that the US Defence Department may not be able to send all of the remaining 5.6 billion dollars (£4.5 billion) in Pentagon weapons and equipment stocks passed by Congress for Ukraine before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in. Mr Trump has talked about getting some type of negotiated settlement between Ukraine and Russia, and spoken about his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Many US and European leaders are concerned that it might result in a poor deal for Ukraine and they worry that he will not provide Ukraine with all the weapons funding approved by Congress. The aid in the new package is in presidential drawdown authority, which allows the Pentagon to take weapons off the shelves and send them quickly to Ukraine. This latest assistance would reduce the remaining amount to about 4.35 billion dollars (£3.46 billion). Officials have said they hope that an influx of aid will help strengthen Ukraine’s hand, should Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky decide it is time to negotiate. One senior defence official said that while the US will continue to provide weapons to Ukraine until January 20, there may well be funds remaining that will be available for the incoming Trump administration to spend. According to the Pentagon, there is also about 1.2 billion dollars (£0.9 billion) remaining in longer-term funding through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which is used to pay for weapons contracts that would not be delivered for a year or more. Officials have said the administration anticipates releasing all of that money before the end of the calendar year. If the new package is included, the US will have provided more than 64 billion dollars (£50.8 billion) in security assistance to Ukraine since Russia invaded in February 2022.

A Merrimack County Superior Court judge delivered an early-but-significant victory to Attorney General John Formella’s sweeping lawsuit that accuses Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, of using marketing methods that mentally and physically harm young children. Lawyers for Meta had moved to dismiss the suit Formella brought last October, but denial of that motion means the five-count claim will go forward. Judge John Kissinger cited the clout of these platforms in making a critical finding that the state has “sovereign interest” and jurisdiction over Meta’s designs due to the potential impact on the mental health of young people. “13.49% of the under-eighteen population are active monthly Facebook users and 35% are active monthly Instagram users,” Kissinger wrote in a detailed 56-page ruling. “Teenagers in New Hampshire have also suffered from declining mental health since 2011. The state has an interest in protecting the mental health of its youngest population. The court sees no reason to distinguish between physical and mental health in this context.” In another key decision, Kissinger said the First Amendment gave Meta no immunity from lawsuit because the state was targeting the design of the platform and not the specific content on social media. He also decided that the product liability and consumer protection laws applied in this case because the design of the platform was by itself a commercial product. “Thus, because Meta has designed a product, placed that product in the stream of commerce, marketed it, and profited from it, Meta has a duty to reasonably design the Social Media Platforms,” Kissinger ruled. The decision also rejected Meta’s argument it was exempt from liability under the federal Communications Decency Act because the suit targets the company’s design of addictive features of its apps and not as a publisher of content. “This ruling is the first step toward holding Meta accountable for its actions in New Hampshire. This is a clear victory for the people of New Hampshire, particularly our children, who are increasingly vulnerable to the addictive and harmful features embedded in social media platforms,” Formella said in a statement. “Meta’s business model thrives by exploiting teenagers’ attention, and today’s decision sends a message that the court will allow the State’s case seeking accountability from the social media giant for its harmful conduct to proceed.” Earlier in 2023, 33 other attorneys general brought a similar joint action against Meta in a California federal court, charging the company with hooking young children on their platforms, which prosecutors maintain has led to higher rates of anxiety, depression and insomnia. New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Vermont are among eight states and the District of Columbia that brought their own suits in state courts. “New Hampshire will not stand by while our children’s mental and emotional health is put at risk for the sake of profit,” Formella added. Meta is the world’s largest social media company. Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram each has more than a billion users. Last June, the state brought a similar suit against the makers of TikTok, the wildly popular platform that allows users to create, share and distribute short videos. Gov. Chris Sununu said these suits were Formella’s response to the executive order he signed in the spring of 2023 that directed state agencies to develop curriculum aimed at reducing social media harms. klandrigan@unionleader.com

The rise in cancer cases among younger individuals can be attributed to a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Genetic predisposition plays a significant role, as mutations in certain genes can predispose individuals to cancer at a younger age. Additionally, environmental factors such as exposure to carcinogens in polluted air, water, and food, as well as lifestyle choices like smoking, poor diet, and lack of physical activity, can increase the risk of cancer development.He is arguably as much remembered for the crunching tackle that he put in on Rangers forward Kenny Miller in an Old Firm clash as he is for being part of Brendan Rodgers ’ ‘Invicibles’ team, and when he caught up with the Scottish press this week, Jozo Simunovic predicted further pain would soon be inflicted upon the Ibrox side. The former Celtic defender, now a youth coach with Dinamo Zagreb, was impressed by his old team as he watched them on Champions League duty on Tuesday night, and he was relieved that the match ended in a stalemate, given his split loyalties. There are no such dilemmas about where his allegiances lie ahead of Sunday’s League Cup final though, and he is sure that the current Celtic team will emerge victorious once more, because they remind him of the flawless outfit he himself was a part of. “I think they will win,” Simunovic said. “If they will play the way they did in Zagreb and in the last couple of months.

The structure of the play has also changed, so it hard to compare. (Image: SNS Group - Craig Williamson) “I think they are in very good shape and stable. I would say very stable. They are doing good in the league as well. “Of course, it is always hard to play away games, it is not the same [as Celtic Park] in terms of atmosphere with the fans and everything. “But, at the end of the day, a point each [in Zagreb] was well deserved.” Simunovic is confident that he will also be celebrating Champions League progression for Celtic in the weeks ahead. "With this new format, it works really well," he said. "So many teams and so many games. Hopefully, that’s definitely what Celtic likes. “But also, we can say format and blah, blah, but the team is also in good shape, it is looking good, playing good, so that’s the most important part of all."
