On November 26, 2017, 41-year-old Amber Kornak was reported missing after failing to return from a solo hike in the Arizona wilderness. A massive search and rescue operation was launched, but Kornak was not found.

A little over a week later, on December 7, 2017, Kornak was discovered alive and well after spending seven days in the wilderness. She had lost weight and suffered some minor injuries, but was otherwise okay.

Solemn Services Held for President George H.W. Bush

President George H.W. Bush was eulogized by family and friends at a state funeral service in Washington, DC on Wednesday. The 41st president of the United States passed away last Friday at the age of 94.

Members of the Bush family, including former President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush, shared heartfelt stories about their father and grandfather. "He was a great public servant who loved America," said George W. Bush.

Former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney praised President Bush for his role in the 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall and the unification of Germany. "When the Wall came down, George Herbert Walker Bush was there," said Mulroney.

The service also featured readings from Bible verses and Psalms, as well as performances by the United States Navy Band and the Armed Forces Chorus. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were in attendance, as were numerous other current and former government leaders from around the world.

After the service, President George H.W. Bush's casket was loaded onto a train for transportation to his final resting place at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. There, he will be buried next to his wife Barbara and their daughter Robin, who died of leukemia at age 3.

Soho House CEO's Exit Marks End of Era as Members-Only Club

The CEO of Soho House, Nick Jones, is exiting the company after nearly two decades. The move comes as the members-only club chain is facing increased competition from the likes of WeWork and Airbnb.

Founded in London in 1995, Soho House has been credited with helping to revive rundown areas of the city. The company has since expanded to include locations in New York, Hollywood, and other major cities around the world.

While Soho House has been profitable, it has been struggling to keep pace with the rapid growth of its rivals. In a statement announcing his departure, Jones said that he was "proud" of what he had accomplished at the company but that it was time for a new CEO to take it in a "new direction."

The departure of Jones marks the end of an era for Soho House. Under his leadership, the club became one of the most exclusive and sought-after members-only clubs in the world. With its growing roster of locations and expanding appeal to young urbanites, Soho House has been able to retain its cachet even as its membership fees have increased.

In recent years, however, there has been increasing criticism of exclusive clubs like Soho House for their perceived elitism. Some have argued that they are antithetical to the values of openness and diversity that are at the heart of cities like London and New York.

With its CEO departing and competition intensifying, Soho House faces an uncertain future. However, given its track record of success, it is likely that it will continue to be a popular choice for members looking for an exclusive experience.

So Long, Sole Mate: Dating App Shutting Down After Four Years

It's the end of an era.

Sole Mate, a dating app that focused exclusively on finding long-term relationships, is shutting down after four years in operation.

In a statement posted on their website, the app's creators cited the ever-changing landscape of online dating as the reason for their closure.

"The dating industry has undergone some dramatic changes in recent years, and we've decided that it's no longer feasible to operate a sustainable and successful business in this space," they said.

Launched in 2014, Sole Mate billed itself as an alternative to more mainstream dating apps like Tinder and Bumble, which were often seen as geared more towards casual hookups than serious relationships.

The app quickly built up a loyal following among singles looking for something more serious, but ultimately failed to attract enough users to stay afloat.

In an age where almost everyone seems to be using dating apps, it's no surprise that Sole Mate didn't make it past the finish line. But while its closure is undoubtedly sad news for its diehard fans, there's no doubt that the trend of online dating will continue unabated.

Soles4Souls: How One Man's Simple Idea is Helping Millions of People

In 2006, a man by the name of T.J. Maxx had a simple idea—to provide new and used shoes to those in need all over the world. He founded Soles4Souls, and the rest is history.

To date, Soles4Souls has distributed more than 30 million pairs of shoes to people in over 150 countries. The organization relies on donations from individuals and companies to meet this staggering number. Soles4Souls is also dedicated to sustainable shoe distribution, meaning that they work to ensure that donated shoes are given to people who will actually wear them, rather than just taking up space in a warehouse somewhere.

One of the best things about Soles4Souls is that they don't just give shoes away willy-nilly. They have a system in place to make sure shoes go to the people who need them most. When you donate your shoes to Soles4Souls, they go through a rigorous screening process to make sure they are appropriate for donation and will be put to good use. Then, they are distributed to people in need via local partners who have a deep understanding of the community and what its members need most.

So why should you donate your old shoes to Soles4Souls? Here are three reasons:

1) You'll be helping someone in need. There are millions of people around the world who don't have access to adequate footwear. By donating your old shoes to Soles4Souls, you'll be providing them with something that many of us take for granted—a pair of safe and comfortable shoes.

2) You'll be supporting sustainable shoe distribution practices. As mentioned earlier, Soles4Souls is committed to sustainable shoe distribution practices. This means that donated shoes go directly to those who need them most, instead of just taking up space in a warehouse somewhere.

3) You'll be helping reduce environmental wastefulness. According to stats from Forbes, Americans discard 2 billion pairs of shoes every year! That's a lot of wastefulness! By donating your old pairs of shoes instead of throwing them away, you're doing your part in reducing this amount of wastefulness each year.
