� � � � � � Gen Z is the worst at connecting with their grandparents, but building a better relationship could help fight loneliness. How to start - Fortune Well    With all the to-dos—homework, job responsibilities, hanging with friends—it seems that calling your grandparents falls to the bottom of the list—at least if you’re a member of Gen Z. In a survey shared exclusively with Fortune, and conducted by Carewell, an at-home caregiving company, nearly a third of Americans (32%) say they have a very close or strong relationship with their grandparents. That differs by generation, however, with only 18% of Gen Z saying they have a strong relationship with grandparents compared to 32% of millennials and 41% of Gen X.  “One of the protective factors in community health and well-being is social cohesion and connectedness,” Cío Hernández, Ph.D., a licensed marriage and family therapist, previously told Fortune. “Safety and connection is vital for us as a species.” Continued here � � � � � � Don't like ads? Go ad-free with TradeBriefs Premium Why Hamas Attacked—and Why Israel Was Taken by Surprise - Foreign Affairs    On the morning of Saturday, October 7, the Palestinian group Hamas carried out a surprise attack on Israel on an unprecedented scale: firing thousands of rockets, infiltrating militants into Israeli territory, and taking an unknown number of hostages. At least 100 Israelis have died, and at least 1,400 have been wounded; Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that his country was “at war.” As Israeli forces responded, around 200 Palestinians were killed and around 1,600 wounded. For insight into what this means for Israel, the Palestinians, and the region, Foreign Affairs turned to Martin Indyk, the Lowy Distinguished Fellow in U.S.-Middle East Diplomacy at the Council on Foreign Relations. Indyk has twice served as U.S. ambassador to Israel, first from 1995 to 1997 and again from 2000 to 2001. He also served as U.S. President Barack Obama’s special envoy for Israeli-Palestinian negotiations from 2013 to 2014. Earlier, he served as special assistant to President Bill Clinton and senior director for Near East and South Asian affairs at the National Security Council, and as assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs in the U.S. Department of State. Indyk spoke with Executive Editor Justin Vogt on Saturday afternoon. The conversation below has been edited for length and clarity. A number of observers have remarked that today’s events have had an impact on Israelis similar to the effect the 9/11 attacks had on Americans. But Israelis have endured a great deal of violence in recent decades—as, of course, have Palestinians. What sets this apart?

He rails against Dr Fauci, the White House’s former chief medical adviser, on Fox News and has been accused of misogyny and sexual misconduct, which he denies. Dave Portnoy (pictured) has crafted his persona in the image of the former president. He even calls himself “el presidente”. Barstool Sports, the media company Mr Portnoy founded 20 years ago, made him rich, but his “One Bite” pizza reviews, viewed nearly 700m times on YouTube, have made him the unlikely kingmaker of American pizza. On September 23rd, in drenching rains at a minor-league baseball stadium on Coney Island, he held his One Bite Pizza Festival. Around 6,000 fans attended; tickets started at $150. Mr Portnoy does not pretend to be “some elite, like, food guy”, he told journalists. In more than 1,000 videos, he does not review so much as react. “One bite, everyone knows the rules,” he tells the camera before gobbling down a plain-cheese slice, which he rates from one to ten. Mr Portnoy is not afraid to be feisty, as shown by a recent spat with a pizzeria owner in Massachusetts that went viral. (The offending pizzeria was then flooded with negative reviews by “stoolies”, Mr Portnoy’s fans.)

"We have a lot of restrictions now. It is very difficult for Hong Kong filmmakers. But we will try our best to make movies with the Hong Kong spirit. This is our goal." Continued here
