As more Americans become aware of the importance of mental health, work-life balance has become a priority for many working individuals. This makes sense, considering Americans working a traditional 40-hour workweek spend nearly 2,000 hours at work annually.

Ask people who rent out rooms in their homes what they call themselves, and you're unlikely to hear the term "landlord."

The two share the same property, TurboTenant...

If you wait until tax season to think about taxes, you are already behind. The number one mistake Ramp sees small business owners make when it comes to taxes is failing to plan. Most small business owners treat taxes as a once-a-year obligation. They meet with their accountant in March or April, hand over a stack of documents, and hope for the best. By that point, most opportunities to reduce taxes are long gone. Tax savings happen before the year ends, not when filing a...
At more than 5,000 feet elevation, Lotspeich Family Farm in rural Deeth, Nevada, boasts a surprising variety of produce for the middle of winter. In their greenhouse, fruits like peppers and lemons are growing, and out under the hoop houses—large, cylindrical structures that offer the plants some protection from the cold—swiss chard and the remainder of last year's spinach grow despite the sub-zero temperatures winter in the high desert brings. Come spring and summer, the amo...

Maria Oveysi and Moe Kamal, the husband and wife team behind the Persian Egyptian dessert shop, have family roots in the industry that make their foray with Kinrose Creamery seem, in some respects, kismet.

Passenger cars, specifically, were 14 years old on average in 2024, the most of any motor vehicle type.

This leaves them in orbit for over 5 months that had not initially been planned. On the way to the Station, the Starliner's steering thrusters failed repeatedly. Due to the high risk of thruster failure on the Boeing Starliner, NASA cannot risk putting astronauts in it for the return trip to earth,...
