The multi-Emmy-nominated actress and political advocate Elizabeth Montgomery (who died of cancer in 1981) was upset upon learning that Jonathan White, the son of her Bewitched co-star David White (who died of a heart attack in 1990), had perished in the horrific Pan-Am incident over Lockerbie in 1988.

I recently attended a press event and noticed that men far outweighed women at the event, and according to a new report, that applies at the leadership level, too. The research from the talent acquisition company Tenth Revolution Group was sent to Lifewire via email and shows that between 2021 and 2024, the average percentage of women and non-binary people in C-suite leadership roles (specifically CIOs and CTOs) in NASDAQ-100 tech companies was only 15 percent. Now, that's based on four years of figures, during which there was a slight bump in 2022 when women held 17 percent of those C-Suite positions. In the remaining years (2021, 2023, and 2024), women held only 14 percent of those positions.

In the realm of astrology, each zodiac sign brings its unique set of characteristics, strengths, and challenges to a relationship. While the concept of being "challenging" is subjective and can vary greatly from one individual to another, in this context, we'll define it as someone who more sensitive, needy or overwhelming. Certain zodiac signs are known for their intense, dominant, or challenging personality traits that might not mesh well with someone seeking a calmer, more relaxed, more nurturing connection. Here's an exploration of the zodiac signs that might pose a challenge for those who consider themselves more on the sensitive side or simply seek a less turbulent relationship.

International Longshoremen’s Association delegates to meet next week. On Sept. 30, the International Longshoremen’s Assocation’s contract expires and it’s approaching quickly. Negotiations between the union and the United States Maritime Alliance have been stalled since June. It’s been a long silence on any update about a potential strike that remains at the top of many shippers’ minds. In fact, it’s one of the most frequent topics that we, the SONAR team, are asked about. The ILA has called for a delegates meeting on Sept. 4-5 to discuss demands. It is possible those demands will become public thereafter and then we will have some idea on how far apart the parties are. Previous reports of ILA demands have included pay increases that exceed what the International Longshore and Warehouse Union – which represents longshoremen on the West Coast – recently achieved (32% raise over 6 years). In addition, the ILA continues to have demands for banning any incremental automation that could streamline the union workforce, all while highlighting its view that carriers can easily pay up given carriers’ historic profits the past few years.

Will we hear updated ILA demands next week?
