Q. My husband recently retired from a high-level position. He has things to do but nothing seems to rekindle his spark. I think he is going through a mid-life crisis in later life. Is there such a thing? M.N. What you are describing might be called a late-life crisis . Such a crisis is described by Richard Leider and David Shapiro in their book, “What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Old? The Path of Purposeful Aging” (2021, Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Inc.). Here are some signs the authors identify: experiencing dissatisfaction, a loss of identity, an expectations gap and the feeling that life has peaked. Some also may believe life is a downhill journey. It’s having a feeling of being irrelevant. And it’s not just a guy thing. Both men and women are likely to experience it equally. Several events can cause a crisis in later life. Among them is the death of a loved one, an illness, money problems or no longer being able to walk the usual number of miles or having difficulty with poses in a yoga class. It also could be just boredom, doing the same thing day after day. Then there is retirement , which also can be a cause. For many, the loss of the work role can leave a huge gap in the reason to get up in the morning. For many, work is more than just a paycheck . It can provide a sense of purpose, social connection, structure for the day and knowing someone or some entity expects something from us. In a sense, it’s knowing we are needed. But other causes can cause a crisis in addition to the loss of the work role. For example, being out of touch with current technology, feeling unemployable and invisible in social situations or the marketplace. How do individuals know if they are experiencing a late-life crisis? Here are several questions that can serve as a clue, suggested by Leider and Shapiro. One key to avoiding or managing a late-life crisis is to not go it alone. “Isolation is fatal,” write Lieder and Shapiro. This makes me want to share examples from a recent discussion, not necessarily of a crisis, but increased awareness of the question of “who am I now and who do I want to be?” This discussion took place at a meeting with a group of women who are not going it alone. The group was made up of retired career women who are part of Renewment , a small grassroots movement that supports and inspires career women from work to retirement and beyond. Most were not going through a crisis, yet raised questions that indicated there are issues that may not reach the crisis level, yet still are important. For example, a retired successful entrepreneur asked the question, “Am I doing as much as I am capable of? Do I want to have an impact on a small or large scale?” A recent widow said, “Being a widow is not where I wanted to be at this time in my life; it’s not my identity. I feel so fragmented exploring who I am.” Another added, “I continue to be so hard on myself; always feeling I should do more; I am busy but not happy.” These same women and others in the group shared tips on avoiding problems that could lead to a late-life crisis. A therapist has emerged as an artist in New York and another was deeply involved in the election. A retired professor is traveling to Cuba and a former teacher launched a foundation. They have engagements that reflect a passion and sense of purpose. That’s the topic for next week. A point to remember: No one gets through this life alone. As Leider and Shapiro warn against isolation, remember that finding friends, colleagues, counselors or family members to talk about what’s going on can help avoid a crisis. Stay well everyone and as always, be kind. Helen Dennis is a nationally recognized leader on issues of aging and the new retirement with academic, corporate and nonprofit experience.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MAX Power Mining Corp. ( ; ) (“ ” or the “ ”) announces a non-brokered private placement for a minimum of 3,825,000 units (the “Units”) of the Company at a price of C$0.20 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $765,000; and up to a maximum of 5,000,000 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,000,000 (the “Offering”) targeting strategic investors. The Offering, using the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (“LIFE”), is scheduled to close on or about November 29, 2024 (the “Closing Date”) and completion of the Offering is subject to certain conditions including the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”). The Company plans to use the net proceeds of this financing for exploration, evaluation and potential acquisition of additional properties, general and administrative expenses which will include funds for marketing and investor relations fees, and cash for working capital. Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company and one-half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one share at an exercise price of $0.30 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance, subject to an acceleration right. If, at any time after the date of issuance of the Warrant, the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the CSE (or such other stock exchange on which the common shares may be traded from time to time) is at or above C$0.45 per share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days (the “Triggering Event”), in which event the Company may, within 5 days of the Triggering Event, accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice thereof to the holders of the Warrants, by way of news release, and in such case the Warrants will expire on the first day that is 30 calendar days after the date on which such notice is given by the Company announcing the Triggering Event and all rights of holders of such Warrants shall be terminated without any compensation to such holder. Certain insiders of the Company may acquire Units in the Offering. Any participation by insiders in the Private Placement would constitute a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). However, the Company expects such participation would be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the Units subscribed for by the insiders, nor the consideration for the Units paid by such insiders, would exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (“NI 45-106”), the Offering is being made to purchasers resident in each of the Provinces of Canada, except Quebec, pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106 (the “Exemption”). The securities offered under the Exemption will not be subject to a hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. There is an offering document (the “Offering Document”) related to the Offering that can be accessed under the Company’s profile at and on the Company’s website at: . Prospective investors should read this Offering Document before making an investment decision. In connection with the Offering, the Company may pay finder’s fees consisting of: (i) cash finder’s fees of up to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Offering; and (ii) finder warrants (“Finder’s Warrant”) in an amount equal to up to 7% of the number of Units issued pursuant to the Offering, exercisable at a price of C$0.35 per common share for a period of 24 months following the closing date of the Offering which will also be subject to the above acceleration clause. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) or under any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, as amended, and applicable state securities laws.

Duckworth says Trump Pentagon pick is "flat-out wrong" about women in combat
In Syria, hopes for a peaceful transition face significant hurdles as the new rebel leadership takes control. Former President Bashar Assad's departure has left state operations in disarray, with a United Nations official stating that public services have ground to a halt. Meanwhile, international actors continue to play roles in Syria's evolving political landscape. Israel has confirmed strategic strikes to prevent chemical weapons from falling into extremist hands, while Turkiye reports seizing territories from US-backed forces, highlighting the continuing fragmentation. The global community is reevaluating previous terror designations for Syrian groups once allied with al-Qaida, indicating potential shifts in diplomatic relations. However, uncertainty lingers as regional powers and remnants of the old regime navigate the fragile new order.
