The 41-year-old left the U.S. he went to Bangkok and lived a luxurious life on $8,000 a month.

Jesse Schoberg began planning his escape from Elkhorn, Wisconsin, where he was born and raised, when he was a teenager. “It’s your typical Midwestern small town: small, quiet, not too adventurous,” he told CNBC Make It. “I always knew I wanted to get out and explore the world.” The 41-year-old entrepreneur has lived abroad for 14 years, dividing his time between more than 40 countries – and he has no plans to return to the United States anytime soon.

The last time there was a crisis in Taiwan, China’s low-tech military was vastly outmatched by US forces. Not now.

Three French-made Mirage 2000 fighter jets taxi on the runway in front of a hangar at Hsinchu Air Base on August 5, 2022. China has carried out its largest military drills in history encircling Taiwan, despite condemnation from the United States, Japan and the European Union. . The last time tensions rose between Beijing and Washington over Taiwan, the US Navy sent warships through the Taiwan Strait and China could do nothing about it.

Buried treasure from a 17th century Spanish shipwreck discovered in the Bahamas

A treasure trove of gems, medals and historical artifacts has been found in the Bahamas that dates back to the 17th century shipwreck of the Maravillas – and will be on public view.

High-tech cranes invade airspace during PIT construction – Blue Sky PIT News Site

You know you are operating a large construction crane when it requires a permit from the Federal Aviation Administration to rise to its full height. Construction crews call it “Great Red”: a fire-engine red behemoth weighing 760,000 pounds and stretching 290 feet above the site where the Pittsburgh International Airport terminal upgrade project is located. Just as planes need air traffic controllers clearance to take off and landing, cranes need FAA clearance and constant coordination with the tower in order to operate at airports. The overview covers, among other things, the rate of climb of the aircraft (with one engineRead News

Locating high-tech industries to build resilience and economic growth

Executive summary For many decades, manufacturing in the Middle East has been disproportionately focused on petrochemicals. The industry contributes 24% of GDP in Saudi Arabia and 16% in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), compared to less than 1% in the US and China. In addition to light manufacturing – for clothing and processed foods, for example – Middle Eastern countries import virtually all of their manufactured goods. This high imbalance (the ratio of non-oil imports to non-oil exports is greater than two to one) poses risks that weaken resilience and could impede future economic growth in the region. In recentRead News

Imaging Technology Offers New Way to Diagnose Early Glaucoma Symptoms

Mount Sinai study shows flavoprotein fluorescence could serve as new biomarker A new, noninvasive eye imaging method may be able to detect an early indicator of glaucoma in time to prevent disease progression and vision loss, according to a new study from the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai (NYEE). The study was published in the July/August issue of Ophthalmology Glaucoma. The study focused on measuring flavoprotein fluorescence (FPF) in the eye. Mitochondria, which are responsible for generating energy in cells, produce FPF when under stress, and FPF levels are elevated in people with glaucoma compared toRead News

Drugs don’t work (and other myths about mental health)

There can be no doubt that public attitudes towards mental health have already turned a corner. Just think of the number of public figures – from Robbie Williams and Lady Gaga to Baroness Davidson – who have opened up about their struggles. According to an analysis of English newspapers, the number of articles stigmatizing mental illness roughly halved between 2008 and 2016, while the number of articles challenging stigma roughly doubled over the same period. And this appears to be having a positive impact on everyday experiences of prejudice – people with mental illness now report significantly less discrimination fromRead News

Larry Brilliant says rapid Covid antigen tests are bad for public health

You were one of those four-dose people. That’s true, and I was also able to get a prophylactic monoclonal antibody. That’s probably why I think I caught a relatively mild illness. But it lasted 17 days and I had to take Paxlovid twice. BTW, I don’t think we should call that a rebound. In other words, we don’t have a correct dosing schedule. It’s possible that Paxlovid will probably need a seven or ten day cycle. So if I get Covid can I ask my doctor to give me Paxlovid for seven or ten days instead of five? [Note: TheRead News

‘I Can’t Retire – I Need Health Insurance’

Health insurance is seen as a huge hurdle for early retirees, but the answer to finding affordable coverage could be simpler than you think. It is one of the most discussed reasons why people refuse to retire before the age of 65. There are many reasons why someone does not retire, including lack of income, fear of running out of money, loss of identity, boredom, and a sense of purpose. Surprisingly, one of the biggest we come across is health insurance. As we age, the presence of health insurance becomes as much a necessity as income. Some see this asRead News

Food inflation has put a heavy burden on poor countries

Around the world, food prices are rising. But because households in lower-income countries tend to spend a higher percentage of their income on food, the pain in those regions is often more extreme. Many agricultural prices have soared ahead of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, an agricultural heavyweight. Prices have dropped recently, but the lower costs won’t appear in stores or on counters for months. By 2030, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimates that nearly 670 million people will face hunger – 8% of the world’s population.

Weed rush: How Saline handles an influx of marijuana business offers

SALINE, MI — Ever since Saline gave the OK to recreational marijuana, the city of Saline has seen an onslaught of interest from retailers. According to councilman Jim Dell’Orco, city offices were “inundated” with proposals. Officials even decided to temporarily stop accepting new applications while smoothing out some creases in the process, eventually voting to increase the original 250-foot buffer between pharmacies to 1,000 feet. “I think that was perhaps the only flaw that existed in the original ordinance,” said Saline Mayor Brian Marl. “Our concern is that we will become saturated with marijuana dispensaries in the town of Saline.”Read News
