To encourage young families and raise the nation's record-low fertility rates, the Tokyo government intends to implement a four-day workweek for its staff. Yuriko Koike, the governor of Tokyo, declared that metropolitan government workers will be able to take three days off every week beginning in April. She made this statement at a policy speech at the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly's fourth regular session: "We will review work styles with flexibility, ensuring no one has to give up their career due to life events like childbirth or childcare." At a time when Japan's fertility rate is at an all-time low, the new policy aims to encourage couples to become parents.

Similar to miniature smartphones, smartwatches are worn on the wrist. Texting, calls, voice assistants, navigation, fitness monitoring, tap-to-pay, and more are supported by the majority. A smartwatch is a necessary wearable that improves daily life for many people at NBC Select. However, the smartphone you carry about nearly completely determines which smartwatch is ideal for you. Many of the top smartwatches are only compatible with Android or iPhone phones. Some even contain functions that are exclusive to a certain kind of smartphone. Like a square peg made for a square hole, smartwatches are frequently customized to fit a particular smartphone, working together to provide the greatest experience. For this reason, I've used Apple, Samsung, and Google phones to evaluate more than a doze...

According to a court filing on Monday, TikTokin warned that if the well-known app is essentially shut down in the US on January 19 due to national security concerns about its parent company based in China, U.S. small businesses and social media creators would lose $1.3 billion in revenue and earnings in just one month. Those numbers would only climb if the closure goes for more than a month, claimed Blake Chandlee, president of global business solutions for TikTok, in that court filing. Chandlee's statement coincided with his firm's request to a federal appeals court to temporarily halt a rule that would force internet providers and app stores run by Google and Apple to stop supporting TikTok on January 19 unless its parent company, ByteDance, sold the app. ByteDance and TikTok intend to p...

Lesbian Connection has served as a lifeline, newsletter, public forum, and rallying cry for queer women around the world for fifty years, in addition to being a magazine. Long before social media made such communication commonplace, this reader-written magazine, which began as a modest, grassroots periodical in September 1974, has stood the test of time by bringing together women who love one another through personal tales, advice pieces, and community updates. A cross-country road trip in 1973 served as the impetus for Lesbian Connection magazine, which its fans lovingly refer to as LCor Elsie. Margy Lesher, a cab driver in Michigan, claimed that she and her then-girlfriend, Goldie, made the decision to get into their car and drive across the nation in search of lesbians. In order to main...

Following Donald Trump's victory in the November presidential election, household financial optimism reached a multiyear high, according to a New York Federal Reserve survey issued Monday. In a survey of about 1,300 heads of households, the central bank found that 37.6% of households said they expected their financial circumstances to improve in a year. This is an increase of roughly 8 percentage points from October. Since February 2020, right before the Covid-19 epidemic struck, that reading was the highest. Alongside the increase in optimism, the percentage of people who believe their financial circumstances will worsen dropped to 20.7%, the lowest since May 2021 and down almost 2 percentage points from a month ago. The outcomes come after Trump's victory on November 5, which will return...

In the chokehold death of Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man with a history of mental illness, whose last moments on a New York City subway train were caught on bystander video that sparked weeks of protests and garnered national attention, Daniel Penny was cleared on Monday of criminally negligent homicide. The verdict was made on the fifth day of the trial after the judge dismissed the more serious allegation of manslaughter due to the jury's stalemate on Friday. Penny may spend up to four years behind bars. Before they started deliberating, the anonymous jury—which consists of five men and seven women—was informed that they would have to reach a unanimous verdict on the primary allegation of second-degree manslaughter before considering criminally negligent homicide.
