The Silicon Valley elite has taken to social media to express its thoughts on "Calexit," a fringe political movement that aims to establish California as an independent country.

Most techies seem opposed to a Brexit-style California exit, though one tech tycoon, Shervin Pishevar, has loudly voiced his support.

Frugality is a subjective term. To the average Joe it could mean eating meals at home or scouring the internet for cheap flights.

But to a billionaire it means showing up to work in a T-shirt and jeans, driving a Toyota or Volkswagen, and, in some instances, foregoing the purchase of a private jet or lavish vacation home.

Surprisingly, some of the richest people on earth are incredibly frugal, each one with their own penny-pinching habits.

These policies could lead, then, to rising prices. Читать дальше...

On November 14 the moon will be closer than it has been in nearly 70 years. Lucky for us, the moon will also be nearly full at the same time. This phenomenon is called a supermoon because the moon appears bigger and brighter in the night sky than usual. Since the full moon will be especially close this month, it makes this a rare supermoon. So don't miss it! We won't have another one like until 2034.

As I've headed to work in recent days to see abortion patients in my office, I have felt bereft: All the premises of my life, work, education, and future were gone. Something very profound in the meaning of the America I know has been destroyed with the election of Donald J. Trump as president.

One of the reasons I've felt this way is that, for the past 45 years, I have dedicated my medical career, skills, and life to the assistance of women who need my services as a physician in performing safe abortions. Читать дальше...

While everyone's experience is different, a little foresight can be great for the budget. Читать дальше...
