Five years on from that first prediction, Tesla remains <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-tesla-robotaxi-safety-regulation-2024-10">some distance away from fully autonomous driving</a>, and doesn't yet have permission to let driverless cars loose on open streets.In the meantime, tech startups and old-guard Detroit automakers have <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/robotaxi-ridesharing-tesla-waymo-uber-2024-10">developed their own versions of self-driving tech</a> that can <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-robotaxi-elon-musk-ride-hailing-uber-lyft-waymo-rivals-2024-10">more or less match Tesla</a>.

Insider Today: Robotaxi reality check

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Workers can struggle with packed schedules. Full calendars can hurt productivity and well-being.</li><li>Busy calendars can be seen as a status symbol yet can lead to burnout, an executive coach told BI.</li></ul>It's not uncommon for Brandon Dock to hear from execs that they're <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/one-on-one-weekly-meeting-with-boss-mistakes-2024-1">too busy to meet</a>.Dock is the managing director at the recruitment firm TGC Search. Sometimes, he told Business Insider, hiring managers will play that "busy" card when he wants to discuss what they'd want to see in an ideal job candidate.It's understandable, Dock said, that managers with roles to fill would be short on time — because they're short on staff, something he could help with."So you could either be busy every day for the next five weeks, as you claim, or you could take a half hour," Dock said. "Let's prioritize this."Dock and his clients are hardly alone in squaring off against calendars with more back-to-back colors than TV test patterns. Yet being that booked can be a problem for people's productivity and well-being, workplace experts told BI.The good news is that there are ways to reduce the crunch and for leaders to push back on a culture that implies congested calendars are virtuous.<h2 id="91552944-8197-49a7-98d8-d2b8ccd7036e">Busyness as a sign of worth</h2>Joep Leussink, head of growth at AddEvent, which develops software for managing events and calendars, told BI that at some organizations, a full schedule is interpreted to mean that a worker is valuable — even if the time isn't spent in the best way."If you have a very busy calendar, some workers use this as a status symbol," Leussink said. "It has become kind of like a humblebrag."There are other indicators (like being <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-skip-lunch-break-meetings-too-much-work-2023-11">too busy to take lunch</a>) that some people might use to signal the significance of their to-do list.Kate Walker, a human resources consultant and executive coach in San Francisco, told BI that some workers might feel pressure to keep their calendars booked up so their bosses won't wonder what they're doing all day."Full calendars can kind of look sexy," Walker said. Yet, she said, that approach risks making workers' presence in meetings more valued than the work they accomplish.Walker said that she's worked with execs who have suffered mental, emotional, and physical strain from being overbooked."I have a couple of clients that are really going through some pretty heavy burnout right now, based on their calendars," Walker said.She said an unforgiving meeting schedule can also leave little time for brainstorming, creativity, reflection, and innovation.<h2 id="07316860-3906-47bd-903e-845f724f46f5">Meetings can stand in the way of goals</h2>Ethan Kross, a psychologist and neuroscientist who's director of the Emotion and Self-Control Laboratory at the University of Michigan, told BI that if workers' focus is consumed by "responding to emails and balancing calendars," that's attention that might otherwise be put toward achieving more important goals.Taking control of our schedule — and not giving ourselves over to our inboxes while we're at it — can help make us more efficient and "allow us to more joyfully pursue our jobs," said Kross, who's also the author of the forthcoming book "Shift" about managing emotions."Most people didn't sign up for jobs to, you know, work on calendar and email for three to four hours a day," Kross said.Kross said some organizations manage to prioritize "deep work" in service of getting the important things done by identifying ways to help workers restore themselves so they return to work fresh.Kross said that as a leader himself, he'd rather someone on his team work "eight amazing hours" than 12 with their attention fragmented.Workers should be thinking regularly about how to be most efficient with their limited attention and time, he said.Part of doing so, he said, is considering how they might construct systems to allow for this. For some, that might mean automating calendars as much as possible.<h2 id="0fe2e41e-cd44-4b36-a81c-8222d608c3a5">Do I need to be here?</h2>Some meeting fatigue might be a legacy of the pandemic. During lockdowns, many bosses, both well-meaning and suspicious, shoehorned more meetings onto calendars to "check in."While some surveys indicate the amount of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/workers-spending-less-time-in-meetings-productivity-2024-4">time in meetings</a> has started to retreat, there are still more than many workers might like, Walker, the executive coach, said.She recommends that workers consider asking whether their attendance in a meeting is necessary, even if the meeting organizer hadn't listed their attendance as optional. However, doing that might be more difficult for junior employees, Walker said, who could worry that it would look bad.Beyond asking whether attendance is necessary, it's often OK to ask for notes from a meeting, she said. That signals people still have an interest in what's discussed.For those running meetings, having a well-defined agenda can keep something that should have been 30 minutes from expanding, Walker said. It's also worth asking the age-old question of whether a meeting could instead be an email, she said.Of course, one way of fighting fire with fire is for workers to block time on their calendars for focusing and taking breaks. Walker often recommends this to her clients.She also suggests that workers and, if necessary, their bosses periodically <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cutting-work-meetings-can-make-you-happier-and-more-productive-2024-7">review their meetings</a> to determine what might not be necessary. Other approaches include <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/founder-two-days-week-without-meetings-boosts-productivity-2024-9">limiting meetings to certain days</a>.Kross, the psychologist and neuroscientist, said that some of the most successful people he knows are "extremely judicious" in apportioning time on their calendars. Some block time for everything from focused work to exercise, he said."They're putting guardrails on there," Kross said.

It's time to stop humblebragging about how busy we are

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Red Lobster's incoming CEO Damola Adamolekun does not practice work-life balance personally.</li><li>Adamolekun, former CEO of P.F. Chang's, prefers integrating work into his personal life.</li></ul>Red Lobster's newly named CEO doesn't believe in practicing a work-life balance — at least for himself.Damola Adamolekun, who is <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/pf-changs-ceo-damola-adamolekun-red-lobster-bankruptcy-filing-fortress-2024-8">set to take over Red Lobster as CEO</a> pending a court approval next month, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://fortune.com/2024/08/26/red-lobster-new-leader-is-a-millennial-wall-street-fave-who-doesnt-believe-in-work-life-balance/">told</a> Fortune in a 2023 interview that he's never really "been a person that separated work and life.""I worked in banking, so I was working all the time," he said. "But I liked it. I like what I did; I thought it was interesting."Even after his stints in investment banking and private equity, long workdays don't phase the former CEO of Asian-fusion restaurant chain P.F. Chang's. Adamolekun previously told Business Insider that he <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/pf-changs-ceo-damola-adamolekun-daily-routine-2022-7">likes to start with a 5 a.m. workout</a>, a 6 a.m. home office start, and work that can extend all the way to dinner with partners, directors, or other executive team members.In his interview last year with Fortune, Adamolekun said although he didn't necessarily have to go into the office on a Saturday, sometimes he had ongoing tasks that he just wanted to knock out or look into something."So even on a Saturday, I'll be by my pool, but I'll still be checking emails or responding to things," he said. "And it's me, it's fine, it doesn't stress me out." Adamolekun <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ceos-who-hate-phrase-work-life-balance-prefer-alternative-views-2023-11">is not the first CEO</a> to not practice work-life balance. Other executives have even gone so far as to criticize the phrase. Former <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/google-ceo-eric-schmidt-criticism-remote-work-google-openai-2024-8">Google CEO Eric Schmidt</a> recently claimed that the tech giant's remote work policy and overfocus on work-life balance was the reason Google was falling behind other AI startups, though he later walked back his remarks after they drew attention.Others like Jeff Bezos and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella didn't necessarily disagree with balancing work and life but rather likened it more to a "work-life harmony" or circle.However, Adamolekun said that people's work-life relationship is "an individual thing" and that his <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/burnout-business-owner-cozy-entrepreneur-2024-6">hustle-culture</a> tendencies are not necessarily the most effective for everyone."Now, if you're a person who, work stresses you out, then you need to separate the two," he said. "So you have moments where you're not stressed, you're not thinking about work all the time."And that's actually more likely to be the majority of people. In its <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.mercer.com/assets/global/en/shared-assets/local/attachments/pdf-2024-global-talent-trends-report-en.pdf">2024 global trends report</a>, consulting firm Mercer found that 82% of employees surveyed felt at risk of burnout.In fact, work psychologist Tina Armasu <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tips-work-life-balance-work-psychologists-2024-8">previously told</a> Business Insider that it's important to minimize talking about work after you've logged off."I think you need to know yourself," Adamolekun said. "And know how you react, how work impacts you."

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A retired woman said doctors wrote off her health isssues as menopause, but she was prediabetic.</li><li>Tracking her blood sugar levels helped her build healthy habits and find foods that worked for her.</li></ul>When Gayle Pagano turned 53, it was like a switch was flipped.Suddenly, without changing her diet or exercise habits, she started to gain weight, her joints ached, and nothing felt right. Blood tests suggested that she had <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/health/normal-blood-sugar-levels">prediabetes</a>.Doctors wrote off her symptoms as part of getting older and undergoing <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/health/reproductive-health/menopause-age">menopause</a>, noting that her blood sugar measurements were within the higher range of normal."It was insanely frustrating," she told Business Insider. "When I tell you this is how I feel, regardless of a number or what's normal, I know it's not normal for me."Pagano started using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), a wearable device that gives live updates on changes to blood sugar levels. She was connected to the device via the health tech company Nutrisense, which provides support from a nutritionist as well as a prescription that was, until recently, necessary to get a CGM.While the devices are still an emerging trend and researchers are skeptical they can benefit just anyone, Pagano said it worked for her.Now 56, she's lost 50 pounds and said tracking her blood sugar has helped her build healthy habits and choose foods that keep her energized.<h2 id="5ba5d07c-d5cc-4ca5-939e-42326dc46a32">Cutting back on processed carbs</h2>Coming from an Italian family, Pagano is a huge fan of pasta.Tracking her blood sugar helped her realize she didn't need to give it up completely. After experimenting to see how different foods affected her body, she said making pasta and bread at home led to fewer blood sugar spikes.What she did cut back on were <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/some-ultra-processed-foods-may-be-healthier-than-homemade-scientist-2024-6">processed foods</a>, even items like salads. Despite being convenient, some premade meals can be loaded with hidden additives like sugar."The biggest surprise and the most disappointing thing is packaged, prepared foods and restaurant foods," she said. "It doesn't matter how healthy you think something might be."Pagano has found healthier way to enjoy similar flavors with more nutrients and fewer preservatives, though. For instance, she's shifted from having fruit jelly at breakfast to eating blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries instead, which are rich in fiber as well as vitamins and antioxidants.<h2 id="be1cb743-1cfc-4d9e-a000-6df5739a6ba3">More protein and fiber with each meal</h2>One simple way to balance blood sugar without cutting carbs completely is to load up on other nutrients first, according to Pagano."I have my proteins first, then fibers, then starches," she said.There's good science to this approach, since digesting protein and fiber can slow the absorption of glucose from the carbs to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/high-protein-lunches-manage-blood-sugar-without-cutting-carbs-2022-2">prevent blood sugar spikes after eating</a>, dietitians previously told BI.<h2 id="e1c39bbe-3004-4daa-af88-22b06bad5f32">Intermittent fasting</h2>Pagano said her daily routine includes a 14-hour period of <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/intermittent-fasting-benefits-and-risks-for-longevity-weight-loss-cancer-2024-4">intermittent fasting</a>.

The combination includes a hefty dose of fiber, healthy fats, and some protein, all of which are associated with feeling full for longer.<h2 id="1308b0ef-e5e8-4635-aa55-71274ea2e5e1">A new supplement: berberine</h2>To help balance her blood sugar, Pagano started using an herbal supplement sometimes called "nature's Ozempic."<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-berberine-this-supplement-isnt-natures-ozempic-2023-6">Berberine</a>, a yellow compound found in plants like barberry and goldenseal, has a long history in traditional medicine. There's not much evidence it significantly boosts weight loss, but some studies suggest it can have a modest benefit on blood sugar and cholesterol levels.However, it can have side effects like digestive upset. Like other supplements, berberine isn't well regulated, so it can be tough to know if you're getting a quality product in the right dose.<h2 id="219a4b53-41b8-4128-9b42-31768a0fc89e">Strength training with resistance bands</h2>Pagano said she's always made walking a habit and aims to get in her <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/walking-10000-steps-for-health-not-science-based-in-marketing-2021-7">10,000 steps a day</a>. Now retired and living in Florida, the heat can sometimes make outdoor exercise more daunting.She added strength training to her routine with 15 minutes of resistance band exercise, a few times per week. Studies suggest resistance training, with bands or weights, can <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/weight-lifting-and-cardio-may-help-you-live-longer-study-2022-9">boost longevity</a> and help prevent illness.Pagano still walks regularly, and aims to take a quick stroll after meals to help keep her <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/diet-and-exercise-strategies-for-lower-blood-sugar-reverse-type-2-diabetes-2024-5">blood sugar in check</a>."I absolutely must move after eating," she said.

The great "<keyword id="21771460" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="unbossing" source="keywords">unbossing</keyword>" has been brought on by several factors, including cost-cutting, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-might-kill-middle-management-2023-11">Gen Z's distaste for management</a>, remote working, and increased pressure on performance. The repercussions are that future generations entering the workforce may receive less mentorship while being put under more stress from above. But it's not just <keyword id="998753" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="junior-employees" source="Orion">junior employees</keyword> that could be worse off. Lara Milward, a neuro-leadership coach with expertise in how <keyword id="20346862" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="workplace-culture" source="keywords">workplace culture</keyword> is changing, told Business Insider it's the 30-somethings who are buying houses, starting to have children, and juggling "<keyword id="21219154" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="career-progression" source="keywords">career progression</keyword> and family life" that may find their jobs are suddenly axed. "It could well be that that's the generation that takes this hit," she said. <h2>Millennial middle managers are at risk</h2>Joe Galvin, the chief research officer of the executive coaching organization Vistage, told BI the unbossing trend has come about due to the normalization of working from home, advances in tech and AI, and generational shifts. "In the analog era, going back to, let's say, the eighties, you had to communicate manually to be able to align your workforce," he said. "Today, technology has made that all possible. And the behavior change that we saw during the pandemic was an accelerant to that." In 2021, Steven Baert, then the chief people and organization officer of Novartis, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.gallup.com/workplace/349589/unbossing-leaders-novartis.aspx">told Gallup</a> that traditional leadership was "becoming redundant." He said the company's goal was to have a workforce that's motivated and encouraged to be effective rather than told what to do. It's now rare to see the traditional version of a boss who walks around an office and checks in on what all their employees are doing. "That boss's job has changed tremendously," Galvin said. "How you manage relationships in a more digital environment is much more difficult." While Galvin said the intent of reducing middle management is to streamline communication between employees and senior executives, the impact could be unfairly balanced. Middle management positions <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/middle-managers-layoffs-2023-meta-tech-companies-jobs-employment-2024-3">accounted for almost a third of layoffs</a> in 2023, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-03-15/bloomberg-evening-briefing-middle-managers-are-getting-fired-more-often">an analysis for Bloomberg</a> — an increase from 20% in 2018. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.livedatatechnologies.com/layoffs-by-job-level">Analysis from Live Data Technologies</a> also found that manager-level or higher roles made up almost 50% of all layoffs in 2023, a jump of 57.6% compared to five years ago. As a result, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/middle-managers-feeling-squeeze-amid-cost-and-job-cuts-glassdoor-2024-3">confidence levels of mid-managers have dropped</a> significantly, according to research from Glassdoor. It just so happens that a lot of middle managers are millennials. Aged between 28 and 43, millennials are often in their first management positions or on their way to climbing to more senior roles. They were also hit the hardest during <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/millennials-won-great-resignation-now-losing-the-big-firing-2022-9">the Great Firing of 2022</a>, making up 94% of laid-off workers. "Since millennials make up a large portion of middle management, they, along with some Gen X, are most likely to be affected by this trend," Chris Lovell, a careers expert at SoFi Technologies and the founder of Careers by Chris, told BI. "These are also the generations that were most likely taught to follow a traditional career path: go to school, earn a degree, and climb the corporate ladder." <h2><keyword id="19901232" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="work-life-balance" source="keywords">Work-life balance</keyword> has changed</h2>Ironically, millennials are "less interested in corporate bureaucracies or hierarchies," Lovell said, which could be part of why middle management roles are being cut. Data suggests that both millennials and Gen Zers are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/why-millennials-and-gen-z-dont-want-to-be-managers-2023-11">turning away from management positions</a>, with a lack of trust in senior leadership, a perceived limited financial reward, and a greater focus on a work-life balance and time off. Many current <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/middle-management-having-worst-year-ever-rto-layoffs-burnout-2023-9">middle managers are also burned out</a> with their teams being downsized, and an increased workload. Gen Zers could also be shifting the culture of the workforce, putting more emphasis on their boundaries, their mental health, and wanting more autonomy. "I think this collides with economies and the way that the world is going, that companies are cutting costs," Milward said. "If we're thinking about a world of diversity, inclusivity, and including new generations, they are trying to move towards a more flat structure and less of the old-school parent-child sort of relationship." However, Joel Wolfe, the founder and president of the customer service agency HiredSupport, told BI he believes this attitude from younger generations may be backfiring. There is pressure on managers to constantly do better than they did the previous quarter, but millennials aren't necessarily performing at that high level. <keyword id="21771458" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="millennial-managers" source="keywords">Millennial managers</keyword>, in Wolfe's opinion, can be "difficult to work with." "They have fixed schedules and aren't flexible, which is something difficult to adapt to, especially when you are working with different timezones," he said. Millennials and Gen Zers are increasingly opting out of working overtime and going above and beyond for promotions, instead favoring more time off and leaving work at the door when they go home. Wolfe said this may make them seem inflexible and thus vulnerable when layoffs happen. "I prefer employees working when they have some tasks to do," he said. "I don't want them to sit in front of the screen and wait for the clock to strike 5 p.m." <h2>The impact on Zoomers</h2>Shoshanna Davis, the founder of Fairy Job Mother and a consultant who helps young people with their careers, told BI she's not convinced unbossing is a direct response to how younger generations perceive the world of work. But it is likely to disproportionately affect Gen Zers in their first or second jobs. "They are new to the world of work, and they do really need managers to help them find the ropes," Davis said. "Ultimately, eliminating this kind of middle management position means less guidance, less coaching, and less mentoring, which I feel like is still desperately needed in a post-COVID world." Zoomers are already unenthused by management. They are the generation that coined the term "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/lazy-girl-job-trend-tiktok-explained-defending-low-stress-work-2023-7">lazy-girl jobs</a>" and strongly believe in the benefits of "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-quiet-quitting-work-ethic-millennials-money-struggles-2023-10">quiet quitting</a>." Will fewer management positions be replaced by higher salaries? Will career progression stagnate for Gen Z, if they have no millennial managers to look up to? What does this mean for the generations after them? Davis isn't sure. "If it's just truly a way to cut costs, and there's going to be no replacements, then what incentive is there for people to perform at work?" Davis said. "I don't really see how that's going to pan out." Correction: May 22, 2024 — An earlier version of this story misstated Steven Baert's current employment and position. He currently works at GE Vernova, not Novartis. His position at Novartis in 2021 was chief people and organization officer, not CEO.

This is because a small software update is needed from the smartphone makers to enable 5G. While a few smartphone makers have already started rolling out an update to enable 5G, the government wants smartphone makers to prioritise the rollout of updates to enable 5G. According to a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/india/india-press-apple-samsung-faster-5g-software-upgrades-phones-2022-10-11/">report</a> by Reuters, the Indian government has called a meeting of major smartphone makers and India’s telcos to push them for a speedy rollout of updates. The government has reportedly called major smartphone makers such as Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi and Vivo for the meeting. The government has also called India’s telecom companies such as <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/telecom/news/reliance-jio-to-begin-beta-trial-of-5g-in-four-cities-on-dussehra-with-unlimited-data/articleshow/94645577.cms">Reliance Jio</a>, <keyword id="15491" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="airtel" source="Orion">Airtel</keyword> and Vodafone Idea. The meeting, which will be held on Wednesday, will include talks "to prioritise" and release a software update to enable 5G. If we view Airtel’s list of 5G-ready devices, all of Apple’s and several of Samsung’s devices show that the device has yet to receive the software update. Most smartphones from other companies show that they are 5G ready. Apple’s recently launched <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/mobile/news/heres-everything-new-on-the-iphone-14-and-14-pro-dynamic-island-satellite-connectivity-always-on-display-and-more/articleshow/94060331.cms">iPhone 14</a> has yet to receive an update for 5G. "Apple has been taking a lot of time. Airtel has been concerned about this as many of their premium clients are on Apple devices," said an industry source familiar with the matter to Reuters.

And with the sell-off continuing well into October, that figure is now likely even worse. That's a pretty scary number! To put things in perspective, if those losses were a country's GDP, it'd be <a style="text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.worldometers.info/gdp/gdp-by-country/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">just shy of the top 20</a>. But the numbers also don't tell the entire story. Similar to my potential to become a star NFL quarterback, the losses are unrealized. That means there's a lot of wiggle room for how big banks can portray them on their balance sheet. Insider's Matthew Fox <a style="text-decoration: underline;" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/bonds/bond-market-crash-banks-unrealized-losses-treasurys-rates-balance-sheet-2023-11">has a full breakdown</a> of why banks can easily diffuse these balance-sheet bombs. Whether it's simply holding them until maturity (meaning they won't suffer any losses) or cashing them out and reinvesting in higher-yielding bonds, banks have ways to <a style="text-decoration: underline;" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/bonds/bond-market-crash-banks-unrealized-losses-treasurys-rates-balance-sheet-2023-11">navigate the paper losses</a>.<a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/bonds/bond-market-crash-banks-unrealized-losses-treasurys-rates-balance-sheet-2023-11"></a><div type="image" title="Chart showing the US big four bank stocks in 2023" height="428" width="671" msid="105189828" hostid="261" sizebytes="24690"></div>Of course, just because something isn't realized doesn't mean it's completely risk-free. They said the Titanic was <a style="text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.britannica.com/story/did-anyone-really-think-the-titanic-was-unsinkable" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unsinkable</a>, and we all know how that ended. I don't mean to be a fearmonger, but perception can quickly become a reality, especially with Wall Street's herd mentality. A firm could have no plans of selling its bonds for a loss. But if enough people fear they might do it, things can escalate quickly. Lest we forget <a style="text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/silicon-valley-bank-svb-first-social-media-bank-run-2023-3">Silicon Valley Bank</a>. To be sure, big banks are better capitalized than SVB. Bank of America, which is sitting on some $130 billion in paper losses, has been adamant about its intention to hold its government securities to maturity. But circumstances change. While the bond sell-off has cooled, there's always a risk it could spike again, putting even more pressure on banks to eventually pull the trigger.Even if things don't get so dire, those unrealized losses still feel pretty real to investors. Big banks' share prices noticeably dropped as bond prices sunk. Therein lies the biggest issue. Regulations already limit banks' balance sheets. Having more capital tied up in these bonds only further hamstrings lenders.

Balance-sheet blowup

<keyword id="19906886" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jio" source="keywords">Jio</keyword> continues the tradition of <keyword id="20440185" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="valentine" source="keywords">Valentine</keyword>'s Day banter with competition. In a bold and cheeky move this Valentine's Day, Jio has extended an unexpected invitation to <keyword id="19896909" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="airtel" source="keywords">Airtel</keyword> 'Ex'stream' users, playfully asking them to "switch to love" implying moving on to JioAirFiber. Under the guise of a romantic proposition, Jio's tweet cleverly uses the love language to propose that heart is where the home is and home is where JioAirFiber is. February 14 every year is celebrated as Valentine's Day. "Dear @airtelindia users, This Valentine's, don't ignore the 'RED' flags in your relationship. It's time to move on from your 'Ex'-stream. Here's my number 60008-60008. Call me maybe," Reliance Jio posted on X, tagging Airtel India's X handle. Needless to say the 'RED' flag in the tweet implies the red color of Airtel nudging its users to make Airtel its 'Ex' and choose JioAirFiber over <keyword id="20371132" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="xstream" source="keywords">Xstream</keyword>. The tweet has sparked a flurry of reactions across social media platforms, blurring the lines between a marketing pitch and a genuine challenge to its rival. This creative approach by Jio not only capitalizes on the spirit of Valentine's Day but also nudges a competitive edge over Airtel, suggesting that never ignore the Red flags in love and network choices. The inclusion of a direct contact number, alongside playful hashtags, adds a personal touch to the challenge, inviting users to reconsider their current network provider in favor of Jio's services. Last year, with 5G being the talk of the town, Jio's cheeky tweet on valentine's day was about choosing 'True' love and not settling with a 'Plus' one. The industry observers watch closely the evolving dynamics of telecom rivalry and customer engagement strategies. Is it merely a playful jest, or does it signify a deeper strategic challenge? Either way, Jio's Valentine's Day tweet has undoubtedly added an intriguing twist like always in the past to the tale of telecom giants, blending romance with rivalry in the spirit of competition and choice. In addition, RIL posted Valentine day invitation inviting social media users to show love by liking, following and subscribing to RIL on YouTube, X, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook.

Love is in the air:  Jio asks out Airtel users on a Valentine's date

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A nutrition researcher said blood sugar crashes were causing her afternoon fatigue and moodiness.</li><li>She said switching to a high-protein breakfast with healthy fats and fiber gives her more lasting energy.</li></ul>A nutrition researcher said that switching up her breakfast routine has helped her beat the 4 o' clock crash.Sarah Berry, professor at King's College in London and chief scientist at health science company <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://zoe.com/">ZOE</a>, had been struggling with afternoon fatigue, moodiness, and cravings."Every day at four o'clock, I used to get grumpy walking my kids home from school and feel a bit dizzy and then go and literally gorge on food because I felt so funny," she told Business Insider.Despite more two decades working in nutrition research, Berry hadn't really changed her eating habits.Then she tried a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/glucose-monitors-over-the-counter-track-blood-sugar-health-fitness-2024-8">continuous glucose monitor</a>, a now-trendy device that offers real-time updates on blood sugar levels in response to food, exercise, and other habits.Berry found out that her <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/5-common-mistakes-for-balanced-blood-sugar-dietitian-tips-2024-8">blood sugar was crashing</a> every afternoon when she had a high-carb breakfast, which helped explain the exhaustion she'd been feeling.With a little planning ahead, she's been able to adjust her habits for <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/habits-for-healthy-blood-sugar-levels-doctor-advice-2024-9">more stable blood sugar</a> and better energy throughout the day, finding habits that work best for her body, routine, and priorities."This guidance that's kind of a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't necessarily optimize for the best diet at an individual level," Berry said.<h2 id="193ddea8-2a04-432a-9855-89e3bb6f66db">Blood sugar spikes and dips may mess with your energy</h2>Berry said she is what's known in ZOE studies as a "dipper," prone to blood sugar crashes that can leave her feeling foggy and wanting to snack in search of more energy.About 25-30% of people fall into this category, tending to experience drops in blood sugar below baseline several hours after eating a lot of carbs, ZOE <a target="_blank" href="https://affiliate.insider.com?h=f7cc91ff7515aef509e388dd08863179d0c1373d73e48ba15dd3ed1259cb220b&amp;postID=66f2e247d8616474984c9868&amp;postSlug=nutrition-researcher-eat-to-avoid-afternoon-crash-blood-sugar-2024-9&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nature.com%2Farticles%2Fs42255-021-00383-x">research</a> suggests.Berry's personal experience, along with the ZOE data, indicate that the low blood sugar levels can make people more likely to overeat, and also feel less alert and energized than they might otherwise.Her research found that after a high-carb meal, so-called dippers craved another meal much sooner than non-dippers, tended to eat about 100 calories more at the next meal and about 300 calories more per day in an effort to stave of the slump."We know it actually makes you in the moment feel rubbish," Berry said.<h2 id="1bf767e6-24bb-4d57-ad0a-222791a8f93d">A high-protein breakfast can provide lasting fuel</h2>Prior to checking out her blood sugar response, Berry might have a pastry or white toast for breakfast. But she found overloading on <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/refined-carbs-white-bread-pasta-linked-risks-death-heart-health-2021-2">refined carbs</a> and sugars led to a "rollercoaster" effect of dips and spikes, leading to more cravings later on.Instead, she's switched to Greek yogurt loaded with nuts and seeds, which is <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/protein-per-serving-animal-plant-based-foods-chart-comparison-2022-5">full of protein</a> as well as healthy fats and some fiber, all of which help to slow digestion for fewer blood sugar fluctuations."It keeps me full for a long time and it sets me off on a nice path of gentle undulating hills of glucose. You don't want these mountains and these ravines, for example," Berry said.<h2 id="ce09e23b-658b-4d26-8413-2b47b790eb19">She still makes time to enjoy food</h2>But she hasn't cut out carbs or treats completely, and said it's not realistic to expect blood sugar to be a perfectly flat or balanced throughout the day."An increase in circulating blood sugar is a normal physiological response to eating carbohydrate," she said. "Our bodies are made to be able to handle changes in circulations of blood glucose."The key is moderation, and to find <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://muse.insider.com/story/66f189a8d738168e48a49bf3">healthy ways to enjoy carbs</a> and other foods without extremes."If a food is too healthy to be enjoyed, it's just not healthy at all," she said.That also means making compromises, and making choices that work best for your lifestyle. For instance, there's some evidence that eating late at night can prompt a bigger blood sugar response, but Berry said it's worth it to have dinner with her family."We have to remember food is part of our culture, our emotions, our social setting. I want to sit down in the evening with my family," she said. "I know it's eating late, but I would rather be with my family because that's more important."
