[ad_1] In a jam-packed week of earnings, the Club executed multiple trades and elevated price targets for some of our biggest stocks. Many of these moves stemmed from what we saw in quarterly numbers and heard on conference calls. Here's a day-by-day look at the portfolio action. Monday The week began with our decision to exit our Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) position, as the legal road ahead for the pharmaceutical and medical device maker became too treacherous to navigate. After trying to resolve its talc liabilities through bankruptcy failed for a second time, we concluded that upside in the stock would be limited for the foreseeable future, and our money could be put to better use elsewhere.

Fagin, a leading expert on, advocate for and change agent in the profession of nursing, and one of the first women to lead an Ivy League university, the University of Pennsylvania, died on Tuesday at her home in Manhattan. She was 97. Her death was confirmed by her son and only immediate survivor, Charles. Among other achievements, Dr. Fagin was widely credited with overturning the common practice of strictly limiting parental visits to hospitalized children.

So when she earned her doctorate in nursing from New York University in 1964, she made the practice of limiting visits the subject of her dissertation research. Her findings that the practice was harmful drew wide attention — she was interviewed on television about it — and they ignited a transformation in m

Athletes’ Eyesight May Improve By Adding Fresh Foods To Their Diet: Study

Image
[ad_1] Nutrition is an essential component of every elite athlete's training programme. A recent study from the University of Georgia suggests that athletes' visual range might be improved by boosting their diet with colourful fruits and vegetables. The paper, which was published in Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews, examines how a group of plant compounds that build up in the retina, known as macular pigments, work to improve eye health and functional vision.  Previous studies done by UGA researchers Billy R. Hammond and Lisa Renzi-Hammond have shown that eating foods like dark leafy greens or yellow and orange vegetables, which contain high levels of the plant compounds lutein and zeaxanthin, improves eye and brain health.

Given that, we don’t think that censorship (including through demonetizing publications) makes the problem go away — in fact, it makes it worse.” The response came weeks after The Atlantic found that at least 16 Substack newsletters had “overt Nazi symbols” in their logos or graphics, and that white supremacists had been allowed to publish on, and profit from, the platform. Hundreds of newsletter writers signed a letter opposing Substack’s position and threatening to leave. About 100 others signed a letter supporting the company’s sta
