Surprised witnesses in a Paris suburb captured video of a zebra running loose through the town alongside a duo of horses.
The zebra and horses were caught on video running through the streets of Champigny-sur-Marne after escaping from an outdoor enclosure at the Badin circus in nearby Ormesson-sur-Marne.
The owner of the Badin circus said the animals escaped when their enclosure was left unlocked. He said the zebra and horses were only on the loose for about 15 minutes before being recaptured.
Companies sell products to a broad variety of industries and customer segments, and it’s often hard to know where to focus the sales, marketing and product development efforts. Who should you listen to and who should you be chasing?
Within your target market, there will be customers that are “ideal” you. They buy quickly, renew and expand their contracts, and advocate for the product. In order to fully benefit from these fans, the sales team needs to understand who they are and be comfortable selling to them. And in order for this to work, there should be enough of them to make the effort worthwhile.
So you want to create a remote work policy for your business? Congratulations, and welcome to the club of business owners who have sought greater flexibility as entrepreneurs.
Some of us are telecommuting converts who recognized the business benefits of working remotely year-round, while others are business owners adapting to sudden economic and cultural changes like recessions and public health crises. In either scenario, transitioning brick-and-mortar business operations to remote practices that can be effectively performed from virtual environments can be intimidating – but it is a business goal that is very much within reach.

Apple talks a big game when it comes to security. Its stance on user privacy has been one of the dominant themes of Apple’s marketing, especially in the past few years. In a world awash with data leaks and cybercriminals, that’s reassuring.
But when it comes to the Mac and its comparisons against Windows, are the assumptions true? Is MacOS actually better at protecting your privacy? After all, a recent survey found that more Americans trust Microsoft than Apple with their private data, at a rate of 75% to 69%. Could it be correct?
In early March, Lyft announced that it is offering free scooter rides to essential workers in New York because of the COVID pandemic. Those scooters you’ve been seeing everywhere since 2018 are part of a new intersection between tech and transportation called micromobility.
Tech might be a new player in this field, but “micromobility” has actually existed for hundreds of years. The pain point electric scooters address is the same one that Einstein Newton relieved biking to the patent office.
Longboards and bicycles are low-tech solutions to this same pain point. The following are a few of the tech industry’s proposed solutions to the “last-mile problem,” which is what the industry calls the demand for an alternative to walking to and from the last few miles to a destination:
Special measures are being taken at the Miami Zoo to protect two highly endangered clouded leopard cubs that are vulnerable to catching coronavirus.
The cubs – one male and one female – were born on 11 February but have since been secluded in their den to allow time to bond with their mother.
Last month, a tiger at another US zoo tested positive for coronavirus.
Kate Farms, the supplier of a plant-based liquid meal formula used by hospitals and healthcare providers around the country as a nutritional supplement for patients who cannot process solid foods, has raised $23 million in a round of funding.

With its promise of taming the ravages of stomach acid, ranitidine—best known under the brand name Zantac—was counted among the agents of pharmaceutical salvation, the enduring and reliable drugs that treat intractable diseases and make daily life more tolerable. In 1987, Zantac became the most-prescribed drug in the world.
But last week ranitidine was essentially erased from the US market. The US Food and Drug Administration asked manufacturers to withdraw ranitidine products, both in prescription and over-the-counter forms, because of an “impurity” in the pharmaceutical compound. Overtime or in the presence of heat, ranitidine can form unacceptable levels of a probable carcinogen known as N-nitrosodimethylamine, or NDMA, the agency determined.
The world is flattening (figuratively) as international trade is easier than ever and more people speak English than ever. But just because doing business in English is widely possible, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t learn a new language. There are a number of reasons why entrepreneurs owe it to themselves to learn a new language.
Plus, with your social calendar nonexistent for the time being and great deals on language learning software and apps popping up (like this lifetime subscription to Babbel for 60 percent off), there’s never been a better time to try it out.
