Disney’s “Frozen II” catapulted to the top of the weekend box office with a $127 million opening weekend haul. The movie’s haul was in-line with analyst expectations, which called for it to garner between $100 million to $140 million. It had the third-highest animated feature opening of all time, behind “Incredibles 2” and “Finding Dory,” and out performed the first “Frozen’s” $93 million opening haul, which it made over the course of five days during the 2013 Thanksgiving weekend. “Frozen II” p

Mike Bloomberg, former mayor of New York City, speaks to media after touring the Wind Technology program at Des Moines Area Community College in Ankeny, Iowa, December 4, 2018.

Sleman Alshallah, 40, and his family prepare to flee the advancing Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army in the northern Syrian village of Am Alkef on November 6th, 2019.

But the debate about Microsoft’s tactics resurfaced this week after the company published user numbers for its Teams chat product, which competes with Slack. Specifically, Microsoft said Teams now has 20 million daily active users, compared to the 12 million users Slack claimed as of October.

Shares of Tiffany, the iconic New York-based jeweler, have risen over hopes of a higher priced deal. Acquiring Tiffany would give LVMH exposure to the bridal and diamond category and to

The tech industry offers some of the highest-paying opportunities in the country. The median annual wage for workers outside of tech is closer to $34,800. One reason tech wages remain so high is the result of a skills gap, in which the lower supply of workers with tech skills does not meet the higher demand from employers. So what tech skills are employers looking for the most? Here are the most in-demand tech skills of 2019, according to Indeed:

Don’t click links in emailsEmails are a particularly common way for fraudsters to gain access to your credit card information or identity. Cyber thieves can install malicious code on a retailer’s website to gather credit card data when you check out. “Without proper network precautions, the hacker sitting a few seats down at your local Starbucks could sneak into your device and watch you input your credit card information,” Madon says.

But in 2015, Kloss put away her wings to attend New York University and launch Kode with Klossy, a non-profit that teaches girls to code. Several years in as an entrepreneur, Kloss, who continues to model, admits she still has a lot to learn about running a business.

“And this may sound cliche,” said Youngsoo Choi of Niagara University’s College of Hospitality & Tourism Management, “but in order to identify whether the travel deals you see are truly the best deals or not, there is no other way than doing your own homework before you make actual reservations.” He urged Black Friday and Cyber Monday shoppers to check and recheck airfares or hotel rates multiple times in advance.

China said on Sunday it would seek to improve protections for intellectual property rights, including raising the upper limits for compensation for rights infringements.

The upper limits on legal compensation should be raised substantially, it said. The docu

Barad, who completed his surgical training at UCLA in 2015, said YouTube has become a fixture of medical education. Sometimes he’d even open a YouTube video in the operating theater when confronted with a particularly challenging surgery or unexpected complication. “I don’t know a surgeon who hasn’t had a similar experience,” said Barad, who has now started a surgical training company called Osso VR. But so far, the company has only made some small steps to provide some rules around graphic medi

After one basketball season at Duke University, Jayson Tatum declared for the 2017 NBA draft when he was just 19. This season, Tatum will earn a base salary of $7.83 million — and every penny will go straight to the bank. To this day, he hasn’t touched a dime of his NBA money and lives off endorsement deals, which have included Gatorade, Imo’s Pizza and Honey Dew Donuts. “When I picked my agent, I told him I want to do as much off-the-court stuff as I can,” Tatum told the Boston Globe.

Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg has officially entered the 2020 presidential race, launching a multi-million dollar ad campaign Sunday following weeks of speculation about whether he would join the already-crowded Democratic primary.

A candidate campaigns outside a shopping mall ahead of the Hong Kong District Council elections on November 23, 2019 in Hong Kong, China. A record number of Hong Kong people voted on Sunday in district elections viewed as a barometer of support for city leader Carrie Lam, who has been besieged by nearly six months of often violent anti-government protests. Government data showed 1,524,675 people had cast their vote by 1.30 p.m., with nine hours still left until polling stations closed. That surp

Negotiations on a package of spending bills to fund the federal government have produced a key breakthrough, though considerably more work is needed to wrap up the long-delayed measures. Trump has little interest in the often-arcane appropriations process, other than to obtain wall funding and to boast about record Pentagon funding. The annual spending bills are, however, a top priority for top lawmakers like Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who
