As diabetes and weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy have taken off in recent years, many people have abandoned established diet and nutritional products.Now, two retailers specializing in dietary supplements – GNC and Vitamin Shoppe – are trying new approaches to win over people who take those drugs or are interested in them.GNC is dedicating a wall of supplements at its more than 2,300 stores to products it believes will appeal to people taking Ozempic, which contains the compound semaglutide and other drugs known as GLP-1 medicines. The chain is also training workers to help customers evaluate which substances might help them manage common side effects of such prescription drugs.Michael Costello, GNC's chief executive, said his company saw a "big opportunity" in helping people...

One December morning in central London, more than two dozen people from influential institutions in the Middle East, Europe and the United States gathered in a conference room to pursue an aspiration that, at the time, bordered on 'absurdity. They were there to plan the reconstruction and long-term economic development of Gaza.Gaza has been relentlessly bombed by Israeli military forces in response to terrorist attacks launched by Hamas in October. Communities across the territory were being reduced to rubble and tens of thousands of people had been killed. Families were confronted with the immediacy of hunger, fear and pain.Yet at the meeting in London, members of the international establishment discussed how to transform Gaza from a place characterized by isolation and poverty int...

Call it the end of the beginning of the AI ​​boom.Since mid-March, financial pressure on several AI startups has had a negative impact. Inflection AI, which raised $1.5 billion but earned next to nothing, has abandoned its original business. Stability AI has laid off employees and parted ways with its CEO. And Anthropic has raced to close the roughly $1.8 billion gap between its modest sales and huge expenses.The artificial intelligence revolution, it is becoming clear in Silicon Valley, will come at a very high price. And the tech companies that have bet their futures on it are scrambling to figure out how to close the gap between those expenses and the profits they hope to make in the future.This problem is particularly acute for a group of high-profile startups that have raised tens ...

World Central Kitchen said Sunday it will resume operations in Gaza with a local team of Palestinian aid workers, nearly a month after the Israeli army killed seven of the organization's workers in targeted drone strikes on their convoy.Israeli military officials said the attack was a "serious mistake" and cited a series of failures, including communication breakdowns and violations of military operating procedures.The Washington-based aid group said it was still calling for an independent international investigation into the April 1 attack and that it had received "no concrete assurance" that the Israeli military's operating procedures had changed. But the “humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire,” the humanitarian group's director of operations, Erin Gore, said in a stat...

For decades, the idea of ​​standing upright has carried with it considerable political and social baggage. Sagging was considered a sign of decay.In the early 20th century, posture exams became essential in the military, workplace, and schools, thanks in part to the American Posture League, a group of physicians, educators, and health officials formed in 1914. In 1917, one study found that approximately 80% of Harvard freshmen had poor posture. Industrialists have continued to accumulate posture-improving chairs, products and gadgets.But current science doesn't support conventional wisdom about correct posture, argues Beth Linker in her new book, "Slouch: Posture Panic in Modern America." Dr. Linker, a historian and sociologist of science at the University of Pennsylvania, recently ...
