La dynamique s’est brutalement inversée pour les Lakers ces derniers jours. Après un début de saison plutôt solide, les défaites s’enchaînent et les certitudes disparaissent. À l’approche d’une période charnière du calendrier, la franchise californienne se retrouve face à ses propres limites, entre absences majeures et manque de constance collective. La défaite concédée à Portland […]

C-Seed folding TVs are offered in sizes up to 221 inches. Screen folds into microLED panels with premium speakers. Indoor and outdoor versions offered, including for yachts. Ever stared at your fancy Samsung or Sony screen and thought, “Nice, but what if it could rise from the floor like a sci-fi monolith and resemble TARS from Interstellar?”. If that oddly specific craving has ever crossed your mind, the C-Seed folding TV, developed in collaboration with Porsche Design, might be exactly what you didn’t know you were waiting for. Read: Porsche Reimagines Prefabs With Stunning $1.5M Floating House The catch? Of course there’s one. Like most things designed to impress and overdeliver, it comes at a cost. And not a small one. Before you start imagining this thing in your living room, consider this: it costs more than three brand-new Porsche 911 Carreras put together. That model starts at $135,500. The Art of the Unfolding Screen C SEED The remarkable screens, available in several sizes and designed for both indoor and outdoor settings, resemble a sculptural installation more than something you’d use to watch next month’s Super Bowl. The models, known as the N1 and M1, rest horizontally when not in use, taking on the look of a futuristic cabinet, or, as mentioned earlier, something straight out of a sci-fi flick. However, with the touch of a button, the display automatically rotates to a vertical position. From there, each of the five microLED panels (or seven for the outdoor version) starts to unfold, displaying a screen said to offer “amazingly vibrant colors” and 1,000 nits of brightness. Audio isn’t an afterthought either. Each screen includes a built-in, full-range audio system, so there’s no need to clutter the setup with a cheap-looking soundbar or surround sound system to make the most of it.. It’s all part of the integrated package. C SEED The outdoor version works in much the same way as the indoor display, but can be configured with a taller column, a six-speaker sound system, and can even fold away into an underground storage compartment when not in use. View this post on Instagram A post shared by doug dushan (@dougsuniverse) Indoor models can be ordered in massive 165-inch, 137-inch, and 103-inch configurations, but those with more money to burn can even order a 221-inch display. The outdoor models are available in 201-inch and 144-inch sizes, and there’s even a version designed for the mega-rich to add to the decks of their superyachts. Adding one of these to your living room, backyard, or private floating compound will run you around $400,000. That’s a lifetime of paychecks for some, but for those deep enough into the billionaire bracket, it’s another line item on a well-curated wishlist.

This piece has been edited for length and clarity.Finance is a young person's arena. Long hours and stamina are treated as essential markers of a coveted hire. As I got older, I found myself wondering where that left someone like me: a middle-aged mom of three.I couldn't control getting older, so in 2022, at the age of 54, I became a full-time matchmaker.For the first time in my career, my age is an asset.Have you made an unconventional career move? If you're comfortable discussing it with a reporter, please fill out this quick form. We want to hear from people who have stepped out of or into corporate life in nontraditional ways.I discovered matchmaking at collegeI'm American-born Chinese, and in families like mine, there's often a plan: get good grades, attend a reputable school, and secure a respectable job. My parents wanted me to pursue a career in medicine, but because I struggled with chemistry. I went to Wellesley and majored in Chinese studies and economics.In my sophomore year, I became involved with the Asian Association's blind-date semi-formal. I had a lot of fun, even though I made some of the worst matches back then.I was so engrossed by match-matching that I started organizing the semi-formal event during classes and even dropping classes to focus on it. I never imagined it could be a career.I worked at JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, but didn't thrive I graduated in 1990 and got a job at an investment bank. I loved art and creative work, but I needed a career that paid well because I wanted to send money to my parents. I got rejection after rejection from JPMorgan in New York, but as Asia boomed in 1993, being fluent in Mandarin became an advantage, and I got a job in the Hong Kong officeA year in, Goldman Sachs offered me a role in Hong Kong as well. The culture was one of working hard and playing hard, ultracompetitive, yet tight-knit. You made close friends because you were working late nights together on deals.Working at Goldman was addictive: I was getting paid a lot, traveling, and generally having a lot of fun, but I struggled with the numbers, and writing reports never came easily to me.Cassindy Chao left a career in finance to become a matchmaker.Courtesy of Cassindy ChaoI also found myself sacrificing my energy, creativity, and life to fulfill the needs of an organization. Deals were time-sensitive, people are accustomed to quick turnaround times, and it was all-hands-on-deck for various projects.It takes a lot out of you, and I remember my mom telling me that if I stayed at Goldman Sachs, I'd never get married. I think she was right.In May 1999, after five years at Goldman Sachs, I returned to California and got married soon after. My mom was sick at the time, and as painful as that period was, it forced me to stop and assess where I was going and what came next.It became clear that investment banking was not where I thrived.Matchmaking became my side hustleFrom 2002 to 2016, I worked on various projects in financial consulting: I was helping close companies for VCs and businesses manage their overseas operations.I had to draw boundaries around my time because it was intense, but the pay was good.In 2013, I read an article in a magazine about a matchmaker in Chicago. I had no idea that it could be a career, and I read loads of books on the topic.In 2015, I trained with a matchmaker and initially did it as a side hustle, which I publicized by building a website and emailing my network — long before I understood the…

Dr. Darshan Shah said doing the small things consistently had the biggest impact on his personal health journey.Madeline Tolle for BIThis as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Dr. Darshan Shah, the 53-year-old founder and CEO of longevity clinic Next Health, who's based in Malibu, California. It's been edited for length and clarity.I've been a physician for 30 years. For the first three quarters of my career, I did all sorts of surgeries, from trauma and emergency surgery, to general and reconstructive cancer surgery.I loved surgery, and I still miss being in the operating room, but I was totally burnt out. I was not happy. I did not want to go to work, and I thought, who wants to live this way?I switched into longevity medicine about 10 years ago. I made the transition because I was 50 pounds overweight, had high blood pressure, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and an autoimmune disease.Business Insider's Power Hours series gives readers an inside look at how powerful leaders in business structure their workday. See more stories from the series here, or reach out to editor Lauryn Haas to share your daily routine.I learned the science of nutrition, exercise, sleep, and functional medicine, brought all of that to my life, and got off all my medications and diagnoses of chronic diseases.The experience made me realize that reversing chronic diseases is the kind of medicine that I want to practice. I started health optimization and longevity clinics to help people improve their lifestyle, optimize their hormones, and get them to think about how to prevent and reverse chronic disease.I always say the most important thing is to have a really good daily routine. It doesn't need to be any medications, injections, or anything fancy. I saw the biggest movement in my own personal health journey when I did the small things consistently.Dr. Shah said he goes outside first thing in the morning.Madeline TolleI wake up at 5 a.m.I start off my routine first thing in the morning because the whole world is asleep, and it's the only time I really have for myself.The critical thing is what I don't do when I wake up. I don't wake up with my phone anywhere near me. I charge my cell phone by the coffee machine when I sleep, which is at the opposite end of the house.That's a critical piece of my routine, because the phone deteriorates our mornings and stresses us out the minute we wake up. I don't look at my phone until 15 minutes after I've woken up.I go outsideI'm lucky to have a little puppy now, but even before I had a puppy, I would go outside. I think it's extremely important to go outside first thing in the morning. If the sun isn't up yet, I go back outside when it's up because sunlight exposure is so important.The physical act of taking your body outside is something that has been ingrained in our biology since caveman days. Going outside sets your circadian rhythm, decreases your stress levels, and improves your heart rate variability.I do a quick workoutMy morning routine is my sacred time. It goes until about 6:15 a.m.The physical piece of my morning routine involves a quick 10- to 15-minute workout that includes stretching and lifting weights. Even if I don't get to the gym for the rest of the day, at least I got my workout in first thing.Dr. Shah said he drinks a vitamin mix called IM8.Madeline Tolle for BIIt's so important to get quick wins. You can even start off with two minutes or five minutes a day. It doesn't matter. Once you get that quick win, it will build upon itself.After I do the workout, I grab a cup of coffee and take all my supplements. I put creatine in my coffee and drink a vitamin mix called IM8.
