Erin Carey never imagined she would sail across the Atlantic Ocean with her husband Dave – especially not with three young children in tow.Back in 2015, they were perfectly content, living in Adelaide and working well-paid jobs for the Australian government. So why did the couple leave their home to sail the globe?“We weren’t sailors. We’d never dreamt of doing anything like this,” says the 41 year-old. “One night, we sat down to watch Netflix and my husband randomly chose ‘Maidentrip’, about Laura Dekker, the youngest person to sail around the world. Something in that documentary made us completely change…

Marco Rubio, a man he once campaigned against, and will headline an event for him just days ahead of the midterm elections next month.In a post on Truth Social, Trump applauded Rubio’s lead in the polls against Democratic Rep. Val Demings, who Trump called a “weak-on-crime Radical Left Impeacher.””Wow, Senator Marco Rubio has taken an 11-point lead in his run against a weak-on-crime Radical Left Impeacher, someone who is incapable of doing the job that needs to be done, since we announced the Big Rally for him on…

Jake Paul is still undefeated.Paul defeated UFC legend Anderson Silva by unanimous decision in their eight-round boxing bout at Gila River Arena in Glendale, Ariz.The win brought Paul to 6-0 in his professional career, with Saturday’s win perhaps being his most impressive.Silva sat back for most of Round 1, letting Paul do most of the attacking, albeit subtle. Silva went to work in Round 2, throwing some powerful jabs and playing some mind games. Paul wasn’t phased though, and kept his power stroke throughout the round. Round 3 was a show, with over 80 punches thrown between the two fighters.…

Icelandair is seeking by the end of this decade to become the first national flag carrier airline to operate all its domestic routes with emissions-free aircraft, its chief executive has said.The carrier aims to exploit its homeland’s abundant cheap, carbon-free electricity to fuel the aircraft, either by powering batteries or generating hydrogen for use in fuel cells, according to Bogi Nils Bogason.“We’re focusing on having our domestic operation carbon-free by the end of this decade,” Bogason said.The airline operates three domestic routes from its home base at Reykjavík’s Keflavík airport — to Egilsstadir, Akureyri and Ísafjördur. The longest flight, to…

Verena Ross struggles to put her finger on the most challenging time in an almost 30-year regulatory career that began in the UK before bringing her to mainland Europe as executive director of the EU’s new markets regulator in 2011, and its chair in 2021.Was it her earliest days in Paris, when the European Securities and Markets Authority was trying to expand from a 35-person start-up while also shepherding the EU’s markets through an unprecedented sovereign debt crisis?Or was it when the Covid-19 pandemic hit, and Ross had to confront the same practical issues as leaders of other organisations, while…

The UK, as most of the world knows, has just been through a crazed period of political turmoil.Yet future historians will find the chaos of having three prime ministers in seven weeks also led to a spate of something that brings a mix of upset, joy and hypocrisy: unexpected swearing in public.In the last torrid days of Liz Truss’s government, politicians, journalists and others all turned the country’s airwaves a deeper shade of blue.It is hard to know why. Perhaps the scale of misrule unleashed a spirit of verbal wantonness. Maybe it was just coincidence. Either way, it was probably…

Berlin-based fintech Solaris is aiming to triple its revenue to €300mn in the next two years despite job cuts, struggling clients and a recent rebuke from its regulator. Solaris, which has a German banking licence and offers white-label banking services to fintechs and corporate clients, has long been a poster child of Berlin’s buzzing start-up scene, having raised €400mn from investors including credit card group Visa and Spain’s BBVA.Revenue doubled to €101mn last year, making it one of Europe’s biggest so-called “banking as a service” providers, and it acquired UK peer Contis in January. Although it recorded a pre-tax loss…

Investing has become a “tough sell” for younger generations grappling with the cost of living crisis, bringing to an end the coronavirus-era boom in young people jumping into the markets, according to the new head of one of the UK largest investment providers. Michael Summersgill, who this month succeeded founder Andy Bell as chief executive of AJ Bell, said the squeeze on incomes from inflation and plunging markets this year have contributed to a significant slowdown in customer growth, especially among younger cohorts. The FTSE 250 group last year announced a bid to target investors in their 20s and 30s…
