Brown was sitting in a Toledo coffee shop, having just finished a roundtable discussion about rising health-care costs. A small group of Ohioans had expressed all manner of concerns about how they would afford their medical bills, co-pays, and prescriptions. This was the kind of event that Brown used to do a lot of before he departed the Senate after losing reelection in 2024.
Vision 2030 has reshaped several sectors across the Kingdom, with healthcare emerging as one of the most visible areas of progress. Today, millions of expatriates live and work in Saudi Arabia, many of them in specialized and highly skilled roles. To meet their needs, the country has expanded private healthcare services, raised regulatory standards, and opened the door to more advanced medical facilities, allowing foreign residents to access modern care locally rather than relying on treatment abroad.
UnitedHealth Group tumbled 19.1% despite reporting a profit for the latest quarter that was a bit better than analysts expected. More attention was on the company's forecast for revenue in the upcoming year, which fell short of Wall Street's expectations and could be weaker than it was in 2025. It and other health care companies also felt tremendous pressure from a projected rate increase for Medicare Advantage by the U.S. government, which fell well short of what investors had hoped.
One of the key findings is that 53% of organizations cannot remove personal data from AI models once it has been used, creating long-term exposure under GDPR, CPRA, and emerging AI regulations. All respondents said agentic AI is on their roadmap, but the controls to govern those systems are lagging. Overall, 63% cannot enforce purpose limitations on AI agents, 60% lack kill-switch capabilities, and 72% have no software bill of materials (SBOM) for AI models in their environment.
The knock-on, and often unintentional, impacts of a cyberattack are so rarely discussed. As an industry, the focus is almost always placed on the economic damage: the ransom payment; the cost of business downtime; and goodness, don't forget those poor shareholders. But, in recent years, the toll on human life has become increasingly apparent. We know the poor sods working in the security operations center give up their weekends every time a phish slips through the net,
"Bali continues to be a popular destination for retirees seeking a rich cultural experience paired with stunning natural beauty," The report said.

In the past decade, AI's success has led to uncurbed enthusiasm and bold claims-even though users frequently experience errors that AI makes. An AI-powered digital assistant can misunderstand someone's speech in embarrassing ways, a chatbot could hallucinate facts, or, as I experienced, an AI-based navigation tool might even guide drivers through a corn field-all without registering the errors. People tolerate these mistakes because the technology makes certain tasks more efficient.
Well, I say that if you don't have a better plan, then get on board with ours, he said. But doing nothing is not an option, right? He continued: I mean, I've heard so many people in the Republican conference rail on the Affordable Care Act, rail on Obamacare, rail on the premium tax credits. And if you want to criticize something, that's okay as long as you have a better alternative. They have never offered a better alternative.

See if your skills match up with these entry-level remote positions where you can quickly make at least $75,000, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
I have experience in my field, and was only getting bites here and there from hiring panels who were genuinely more overwhelmed than I was. I found a job in Australia within a week. I dream of scenes from my childhood: beaches, fish and chips, and the bright bloom of pohutukawa trees. But as vivid as those memories are, you can't build a life on scenery alone.
This coming Thursday is Thanksgiving. It seems both far too soon and yet forever since our last turkey day. We have all been through hell and back since the last time we gathered around the table with friends and family to give thanks while trying to restrain the urge to throttle that relative who is a pain in the ass every holiday.

From the athletic fields of his youth to the operating rooms of major hospitals, his story is one of dedication, resilience, and a steady pursuit of excellence. "I've always believed that if you're going to do something, you do it with integrity and purpose," Kalinski says. "That principle has carried me through every stage of my life - from the Navy to healthcare to fatherhood."
Europe often tops the list for expats seeking vibrant cultures, rich history, and scenic landscapes. But not every European city or country lives up to the idyllic image found in travel brochures. While many places offer incredible quality of life, others fall short due to high living costs, limited job opportunities, safety concerns, or overcrowding. Sometimes, what seems like a dream destination turns out to be a logistical or financial nightmare once you settle in.
Trump posted the video to his Truth Social on Saturday during the No Kings protests that attracted a reported seven million Americans to approximately 2,600 rallies across the country. Trump's video portrayed him wearing a crown and flying a fighter jet with King Trump on the side, to the tune of Danger Zone from the Top Gun soundtrack. In the 19-second clip, the animation pulled out to show the plane bombing New York City with a payload full of excrement.
