No eres el único.Una nueva encuesta de Gallup publicada este martes revela que los trabajadores de todo el mundo están históricamente estresados, poco comprometidos con su trabajo y cada vez más peleados con sus jefes.

SAN DIEGO -- San Diego City Council on Tuesday voted 5-4 passing an unsafe camping ordinance, or homeless encampment ban, which has drawn polarized opinions.

Council chambers were packed and two overflow rooms were also filed as Tuesday's afternoon meeting began at 1 p.m.However, city leaders including San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, Councilmember Stephen Whitburn, who brought the ordinance to council, have been vocal in their support of the ordinance. “How can the city proceed with criminalizing the homeless when we don’t have enough beds," one person said during public comment.“Encampments are unsafe and unsanitary, we cannot allow them to proliferate, period," Gloria said.Gloria held a press conference with several city leaders, downtown residents, business owners and others to voice their support on the ordinance before the City Council meeting began Tuesday.If passed...

Long-awaited Vietnam energy plan aims to boost renewables, but fossil fuels still in the mix

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:06:28 GMT

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Power outages are leaving Vietnamese homes and businesses without power for hours at a time, as a prolonged drought and high temperatures strain the fast-growing economy’s capacity to keep up. A long-anticipated plan meant to fix the energy crunch and help achieve ambitious climate change goals will offer some relief but may not go far enough in weaning the country off of fossil fuels, experts say. The need for progress is evident. Streetlights have been turned off in some major cities and businesses have been told to cut energy use. Amid severe drought, two out of the three largest hydroelectric reservoirs in Vietnam have almost completely stopped operating. “It is a big headache for us,” said Nguyen Thanh Tam, deputy director of Hoa Long printing company in Hanoi. “We need power to operate the machines.”The national energy plan, called Power Development Plan 8 or PDP8, aims to more than double the maximum power Vietnam can generate to some 150...

As conditions for Syrians worsen, aid organizations struggle to catch the world’s attention again

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:06:28 GMT

BAR ELIAS, Lebanon (AP) — Six months after she got the call informing her that her U.N. assistance would be cut, Najwa al-Jassem is struggling to feed her four children and pay rent for their tent in a Syrian refugee camp in Lebanon’s eastern Bekaa Valley.She once received food rations and cash that covered most of their modest monthly expenses. The family now only gets the equivalent of $20 a month, which just covers the rent for their cramped tent.Her husband gets only sporadic day labor and “my kids are too young for me to send them to work the fields,” she told The Associated Press in the camp near the town of Bar Elias. “We’re eating one meal a day.”Aid agencies will struggle to draw the world’s attention back to the plight of Syrians like al-Jassem on Wednesday at an annual donor conference hosted by the European Union in Brussels for humanitarian aid to respond to the Syrian crisis. Funding from the two-day conference will also go toward providing aid to Syrians within the wa...

Stock market today: Asian stocks mixed after US inflation cools

BEIJING (AP) — Asian stock markets were mixed Wednesday after a cooler reading on U.S. inflation buoyed hopes the Federal Reserve will postpone a possible interest rate hike.Shanghai, Tokyo and Sydney rose while Hong Kong and Seoul declined.Wall Street’s benchmark S&P 500 index gained 0.7% to a 14-month high after government data Tuesday showed U.S. consumer inflation eased to 4% over a year earlier in May from the previous month’s 4.9%. It was less than half last June’s peak of 9.1% but still double the Fed’s 2% target.That reinforced hopes the Fed will avoid announcing another rate hike when its monthly meeting ends Wednesday. Two Fed board members have said the U.S. central bank should put off another hike while it studies the impact of previous increases.“The Fed will see this as a window of opportunity to pause,” Clifford Bennett of ACY Securities said in a report.The Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.2% to 3,241.57 and the Nikkei 225 in Tokyo advanced...
