That was fast --just hours after hosting the Billboard Music Awards on TV, KELLY CLARKSON had her appendix removed early Thursday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. She tweeted "Not gonna lie.... I may or may not have broken down in tears after the show from pain but thanks 2 all the amazing people @ Cedars-Sinai I flew home directly after the event, nailed the surgery early this morning, & feeling awesome now! Bye bye appendix!"
Looking for a job these days? You don't want one in retail or the information business (telecom, publishing), both of which got rid of employees over the past year. Biggest growing sector of the economy with jobs is Education and Health, and Professional and Business Services (like accounting, engineering, scientific research or temp work), both of which had over a half-million new jobs in the past year.
Like Burger King, which just rolled out a new meatless burger called "The Impossible Burger," furniture retailer IKEA is now jumping on the ALT-meat bandwagon and has decided to roll out a new meatball that "looks and tastes like meat but is made from plant-based alternative proteins." Ikea said yesterday it hasn't decided who will be supplying the stuff to make the meatballs with, but will begin testing them in certain markets beginning in February of next year (2020). Ikea already serves classic, chicken, salmon and cod meatballs at it's stores, so the veggie addition will not really be out of the ordinary.
