United States President Donald Trump told the Financial Times that he could “take the oil in Iran” and seize the export hub of Kharg Island. At the same time, Iran has said that the proposals made by the U.S. in order to facilitate a ceasefire are “unrealistic.” “Maybe we take Kharg Island, maybe we don’t. We have a lot of options,” Trump said. “It would also mean we had to be there [in Kharg Island] for a while.” The White House and the U.S. State Department didn’t immediately respond to CNBC’s requests for comment.

A lot of people who live in apartments take one look at their space and immediately conclude, “There is no way I can ever grow food here.” I’m here to tell you that you absolutely can. Preparedness isn’t about having a massive off-grid farm right away. It’s about building systems where you are.

Medical emergencies can happen when you least expect them. One morning, I was making breakfast for the family and was slicing a bagel. Next thing you know, the bagel knife slipped and sliced through a huge part of my left thumb. There was blood everywhere, so the first thing I did was to find gauze and apply pressure to control the bleeding. The bleeding lessened, but would not stop. I ended up driving myself to the hospital Emergency Department, where the ER doc stitched up the wound. I was glad I had that first aid kit to at least help…

Most people who die in flash floods made one of two mistakes: they underestimated the water, or they had no plan when it hit. Flash floods are the deadliest weather-related killers in the United States. According to the National Weather Service, they claim more lives each year than tornadoes, hurricanes, or lightning.

By the time you hear the roar, you have seconds to act. The Centers for Disease Control and…
