The How: Notes on the Great Work of Meeting Yourself, Yrsa Daley-Ward Penguin Books hide caption toggle caption Penguin Books The How: Notes on the Great Work of Meeting Yourself, Yrsa Daley-Ward Penguin Books These days, we're surrounded by advice on life. When the world feels too heavy, many of us scroll through Instagram and feel comforted by small doses of daily inspiration from accounts like SourceMessages and Jamila Reddy. We're used to seeing these messages on our social media feeds, but how do they translate into a book? In The How, Yrsa Daley-Ward brings these soothing words to life, in a book that feels like a meditation and a guide, a therapy session and a cup of chamomile tea. I have followed Daley-Ward's poetry for years, through her books and popular Instagram page — for its tenderness and warmth. Last summer, she began communicating on Instagram through other means, too — letters and reflections. I started copying them down into my journals: "You are everything that you remember, and you are always so much more." The How is a book full of these reminders, a collection of affirmations and mindfulness exercises on self-love, growth and healing. Its name describes…

During his night out in Las Vegas Henry Ruggs allegedly consumed '18 shots and other mixed drinks' leading to his intoxicated state while driving Videos on Snapchat show Henry Ruggs at Topgolf Las Vegas before the crash. (Twitter) When police found Henry Ruggs at the scene of a deadly car crash, they reported he showed "signs of impairment" at the scene. During his court hearing on November 3, prosecutors also noted that his blood-alcohol level was at least two times above the legal limit. Add this to the fact he was driving at 156mph, and it seems prosecutors have a slam dunk case of driving under the influence. Now, we may know how the DUI came about. As we reported, Ruggs was involved in a serious crash on November 2, that injured him and his girlfriend, and killed a 22-year-old woman. The victim, identified as Tina Tintor was burned to death after her car caught fire following the crash.

BusinessLine spoke with Nana Murugesan, Managing Director, International Markets, Snap Inc, about the company’s strategy in India moving forward, including partnerships, focus on augmented reality (AR), its localisation efforts and monetisation strategy for creators. Excerpts: How has Snapchat evolved in India? Reaching more than 100 million users is a major milestone for us. Our daily active users (DAU) growth over the last seven quarters has been more than 100 per cent. We have expanded since we started our India office just two years back. We focused on hiring leaders across different types of functions. We now have many different functions in India, and are building teams. We hope that the India office and our investments in the country mushroom. That's the word I want to use. Because as we invest in different functions, each of the functions starts growing. And then the sub-function starts growing. And so it's so nice to see some of the early stages of that mushrooming happening, and we hope that that will happen even…

Disruptions in global supply chains — which have led to a shortage of some goods — will take "quite a long time" to resolve and push consumer prices even higher, a shipping executive said.  Global trade bounced back strongly after a slump caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. But that has contributed to problems ranging from a shortage of shipping containers and warehouse capacity, to congestion at ports and a lack of truck drivers to move goods.    "This is going to take quite a long time to sort out," Tim Huxley, chief executive of Hong Kong-based Mandarin Shipping, told CNBC's "Street Signs Asia" on Tuesday."And each sector that is involved in this particular combination of black swan events has really got to try and address its particular issues," said Huxley.... I'm afraid that this is actually going to end up translating into higher costs for consumers down the line and indeed shortages of some goods.Tim HuxleyCEO, Mandarin ShippingFor one, the shipping industry is building more container fleet, he said.
