RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Despite changes made to North Carolina’s masking bill to quell concerns over the removal of a pandemic-era health exemption, Democratic Gov.

Nvidia’s stock split is largely ‘cosmetic,’ and mammoth gains could keep rolling in

Shares of the hottest stock on the S&P 500 increased tenfold on Friday. After the market’s close, Nvidia’s 10-for-1 stock split, which was announced in May during the company’s most recent earnings call, went into effect.

Despite recognizable name, Domenici still largely unknown

Jun. 4—Despite possessing a surname that sparked fond memories and fervent hopes among many Republican voters in New Mexico, Nella Domenici campaigned for the U.S. Senate largely as an unknown.

Blood scandal was covered up and could largely have been avoided, UK inquiry finds

Ancient ‘Paleo’ diet largely consisted of plants for some hunter-gatherers, study finds

Prehistoric humans are often believed to have largely eaten meat — to the extent that proponents of many modern low-carb diets portray them as closely resembling humans’ “primordial” eating style. But a recent excavation at a cave in Taforalt, Morocco, complicates this picture, according to findings published on Monday in Nature Ecology & Evolution. These findings challenge “the prevailing notion” […]

A cautionary tale that largely avoids politics, highlights brutality of war

Given the subject matter, Alex Garland’s Civil War could easily have slipped into an overly political commentary on the current divisions in the United States. However, it does not focus on the politics, and instead captures the brutality of war, particularly wars that see neighbours, family and friends going up against each other. Ahead of […]
