Russia, the world’s second largest oil exporter, will not sell oil that is subject to a Western price cap even if it has to cut production, President Vladimir Putin’s point man on energy said. The Group of Seven and Australia on Friday agreed a $60 per barrel price cap on Russian seaborne crude oil after European Union members overcame resistance from Poland. The move by the West to prohibit shipping, insurance and re-insurance companies from handling cargoes of Russian crude above the cap, is an attempt to punish Putin for the Ukraine conflict. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on Sunday the move by the West was a gross interference which contradicted the rules of free trade and would destabilize global energy markets by triggering a shortage of supply. “We are working on mechanisms to prohibit the use of a price cap instrument, regardless of what level is set, because such interference could further destabilize the market,” said Novak, who is the Russian government...

Photo : Stickler ( Shutterstock ) Anyone who lives with allergies knows how deeply unpleasant they can be, knocking you out with a range of symptoms affecting you from head-to-toe. Dogs feel our pain, too, and can be allergic to a number of the same things we are. But if humans can be allergic to dogs (or, more accurately, their dander), can they be allergic to us? Here’s what to know. Can dogs be allergic to people? Like humans, dogs can be allergic to certain foods, skin irritants, and medications, as well as environmental allergens, like pollen, dust miles, mold, and animal dander, according to the American Kennel Club (AKC). And yes , this includes human dander . Is this new? Even if you’ve had dogs your entire life, this may be the first you’re hearing about the possibility that they can be allergic to people . And Dr. Valerie Fadok , an AKC veterinarian specializing in dermatology, says there are good reasons for that. G/O Media may get a commission First, she says, testin...

I CYMI, Will Bulsiewicz , MD, gastroenterologist and New York Times bestselling author of the books Fiber Fueled and The Fiber Fueled Cookbook , recently told us that while prebiotic fiber-filled sodas aren’t the end all be all when it comes to the best gut-boosting drinks, they are a good option compared to traditional fountain drinks. “I'll take these new health-washed sodas over the old sugar-laden, artificial-colored classics. They are a step in a better direction,” Dr. Bulsiewicz says. But before you run to the store to stock up on these prebiotic sodas, we spoke with Laura Iu , RDN, CDN, CNSC, RYT, a registered dietitian and founder of Laura Iu Nutrition, to learn more about how these drinks actually impact your digestive system (and whether or not they’re a number one option for going number two). Plus, she shares what to look out for on the label, as you may be surprised to learn that not all prebiotic sodas h...

Mass shipments of Apple's upcoming augmented reality and virtual reality headset, expected to be released next year,  may be delayed until the second half of 2023 due to unspecified "software-related issues," according to a information shared Sunday by noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Shipments of the much-rumored AR/VR headset are still expected to begin in the first half of the year, but not at the same volume previously predicted, Kuo wrote in a series of tweets .

Catherine Zeta-Jones’ super rare snapshot of her and her daughter Carys shows they’re as tight-knit as ever! On Nov 30, the Wednesday star shared a heartwarming snapshot of her and her daughter Carys in a previous Fendi campaign with the caption, “One of my favorite pastimes, is spending time with my sweet sweet girl @carys.douglas. Tis’ the season for shopping and girl time.” You can see the photo HERE! In the photo, we see Carys and Zeta-Jones looking at each other lovingly, with Carys in a Gendi top and red bag and Zeta-Jones in a white blouse and matching bag. They look so beautiful, and we’re still reeling from the fact that Carys is so much taller than her Oscar-winning mama. Along with this super-sweet tribute, Carys responded to the rare photo, saying, “I love you so much mamma !!” BRB, our hearts just melted from this mother-daughter interaction! Zeta-Jones and her husband Michael Douglas married in Nov 2000, welcoming two children...

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. I see it every week: the frustration over blown deadlines, the I'll-get-this-to-you-by-tomorrow commitment that floats into next week, the helplessness with always waiting on the same person to follow through on what they said they would do. So many leaders I work with are discouraged with their culture of accountability, not only because they believe they can't trust their reports, but also because they really want to . They feel like they're on a tightrope, balancing between being a compassionate, inspiring leader and a deadline-minded hardass. Accountability is an important part of culture, but according to the Workplace Accountability Study from Partners in Leadership (now Culture Partners), as many as 93% of employees are "unable to align their work or take accountability for desired results." How do effective leaders hold that tension between giving autonomy and holding...
