(CNN) — Jamie Moyer is back in his hometown of Souderton, Pennsylvania, for his father’s 95th birthday party. He says it was a smashing success, filled with people from Jim Moyer’s near-century in the Philadelphia suburb.

So, maybe, the secret to his son’s longevity – and other professional athletes with similarly incredible staying power – is just really great genetics.

Lately, sports fans have been abuzz with the news of practically geriatric, at least by athletic standards, comebacks. Lindsey Vonn won a World Cup race after coming out of retirement at 41, only to be topped in terms of sensational headlines by 44-year-old Philip Rivers serving as the Indianapolis Colts quarterback nearly five years after taking his last NFL snap.

Stories about middle-aged athletes are captivating. To layperson members of a similar age cohort, they straddle a tantalizing paradox of relatability and ultimate physical otherness. Their grey hairs and perhaps softer physiques, things that many of us will be forced to reckon with over time, are juxtaposed with an athleticism that seems superhuman to someone acutely aware of how much even just sleeping wrong can hurt after a certain age.

Actually, it turns out, that stuff plagues the 40-something pros as well.

“It’s the traveling, the hours you keep when you’re traveling. It’s the eating and sleeping in different beds and waking up with a crick in your neck or a stiff back or whatever it might be because you had a bad night of sleep, or half the night you were sleeping on a plane before you got to a hotel,” Moyer told CNN Sports. “As you get older, your body doesn’t accept that as well.”

Moyer, an affable southpaw who didn’t throw very hard – or even especially deceptively – but managed a 25-year big-league career, holds the distinction of being the oldest pitcher to record a win in Major League Baseball. It was, naturally, in his last season, when he made 10 starts for the Colorado Rockies in 2012 at 49 years old.

Satchel Paige, whose Hall-of-Fame career spanned the Negro Leagues and Major League Baseball, is generally recognized as the oldest pitcher ever in baseball for his three shutout innings thrown as a 58-year-old in 1965. But Moyer’s understated productivity into his late 40s is essentially unprecedented and unreplicated.

A certain level of defiance

Perhaps even more remarkable than that age number is that Moyer missed the preceding season while recovering from double surgery to repair his flexor pronator and his ulnar collateral ligament.

Moyer remembers when, after his age 47 season, he met with the doctor who would give a second opinion about his injuries.

“‘I can fix both of these, you’re not going to play anymore, you’re 47 years old,’” Moyer remembers the doctor saying. “He kept going and I just kind of let him talk. And he got done, and I looked at him, and I was like, ‘No, I’m gonna try to play again.’”

He asked the doctor if there was anything, medically, preventing him from going through the rehab process and returning to the field.

“No, but people your age don’t do this,” Moyer says the doctor told him.

Vonn faced a similar incredulity when she made it clear she was planning a comeback less than a year after a knee replacement surgery. In her

This July, a man in Utah set his home on fire, killing himself, his 33-year-old partner, Jaimar Bravo Gil, and their children, police say. The family had moved to the U.S. from Venezuela, and Bravo Gil’s relatives said her partner had a history of violence, but she had kept silent about most of the abuse for fear of being deported. She was not alone. At least two other women killed by their intimate partners this summer reportedly did not seek police help because they also feared deportation.

A growing chorus of attorneys, advocates and members of law enforcement are warning that the terror that has taken hold in immigrant communities is causing some people to remain in abusive relationships rather than risk deportation and separation from their families. While undocumented victims have always faced barriers in escaping abuse, experts say Trump administration policies have left them much more vulnerable.

The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment.

Here are six changes impacting immigrant victims of domestic violence, The Marshall Project reports:

In January, DHS rolled back protections that kept immigration agents from entering “sensitive locations,” including domestic violence shelters and hospitals. DHS also began allowing enforcement at courthouses.

These changes have caused some domestic violence victims to think twice before seeking medical help, moving into a shelter, or seeking an order of protection, experts say.

There have been reports from across the country of immigration officers arresting people at courthouses, sometimes violently. A recent survey of more than 170 attorneys and advocates for immigrant survivors of domestic and sexual violence found that 70% said their clients had concerns about going to court for a matter related to their abuser.

Some jurisdictions are pushing back. In October, the top judge in Coo

It’s often said that it takes money to make money, and few feel this more acutely than business owners. The amount companies require can vary widely based on industry and product. One thing remains clear. Having greater spending power and managing expenses well both make it easier to launch and grow a business.

Business credit cards are a valuable way to increase your spending power, manage expenses, build credit, and earn rewards and cash back. By using a business credit card, you can also separate your business and personal finances for better tracking while establishing a credit history for your company. This allows you to increase your chances of securing loans, lines of credit, and other financing options as your business expands.

This article will walk you through everything you need to know about applying for and obtaining a business credit card. Brex will cover the benefits, requirements, application process, and why modern solutions are transforming how businesses access credit.

What are the benefits of using a business credit card?

There are several key advantages to using a business credit card versus personal credit cards or cash for your company’s expenses.

Building business credit history

One benefit of a dedicated business card is the chance to build credit in your company’s name. When payments arrive on time, bureaus record that discipline, and your business credit score grows stronger.

Your business credit file remains separate from your personal score, which keeps founders shielded. A stronger file speeds approval when you apply for a corporate credit card and often leads to larger limits, flexible lines, and competitive rates to fund expansion.

Separating business and personal expenses

You might have heard the advice not to mix business with pleasure. The same rule applies to your expenses. Using just one card for both business and personal costs can make tracking your spending complicated and messy. Having a separate card for business makes bookkeeping easier because you can clearly see what you’re spending on business versus personal expenses. Keeping these separate also makes preparing your taxes much simpler.

Earning business rewards

Many of the top business credit cards offer rewards programs designed for companies rather than individual consumers, but finding the best business credit card rewards means evaluating which bonus categories actually match your spending patterns, such as travel, office supplies, advertising, and shipping.

Potential for financing purchases

Business credit cards tend to offer higher limits than personal cards, and a well-chosen

A chest cold, medically known as acute bronchitis, is a common respiratory condition characterized by inflammation of the bronchial tubes. These tubes carry air to and from the lungs, and when inflamed, they produce mucus, leading to coughing and discomfort in the chest area. Chest colds often develop after an upper respiratory infection like a common cold or the flu.

In this article, Doctronic provides information on the duration and recovery of chest colds.

Recognizing the Symptoms

Symptoms typically include a persistent cough that may produce mucus, chest tightness, fatigue, mild fever, and sometimes wheezing. While chest colds can be uncomfortable, they usually do not require hospitalization and tend to resolve on their own with proper care.

Common Causes and Risk Factors

Understanding the causes of chest colds can help in prevention and management. They are most commonly triggered by viral infections, but exposure to irritants such as tobacco smoke, air pollution, or chemical fumes can also lead to bronchial inflammation. Individuals with weakened immune systems or preexisting respiratory conditions, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), may be more susceptible to developing a chest cold. Additionally, seasonal changes can play a role, as colder months often see an increase in respiratory infections.

Home Remedies and Relief Tips

Home remedies can provide relief from the discomfort associated with chest colds. Staying hydrated is crucial, as it helps thin mucus and makes it easier to expel. Warm fluids, such as herbal teas or broth, can soothe the throat and provide comfort. Using a humidifier in your living space can also alleviate coughing by adding moisture to the air, which can ease chest tightness. Over-the-counter medications, such as cough suppressants or expectorants, may also help manage symptoms, although it’s always wise to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new treatment.

Typical Duration of a Chest Cold

How Long Does It Usually Last?

Most chest colds last anywhere from seven to 14 days. The initial symptoms, such as coughing and chest discomfort, can be quite intense during the first few days and gradually improve over the following week or two. However, some individuals may experience a lingering cough for up to three weeks or more, even after other symptoms have subsided. This lingering cough can be particularly bothersome, as it may disrupt sleep and daily activities, leading to increased fatigue and irritability.

The duration can vary based on factors like age, overall health, and whether the individual has underlying respiratory conditions such as asthma or COPD. Children and older adults may experience longer recovery times. Addi

The Trump administration’s aggressive push for 50-year mortgages may seem innovative, but it could pose a serious threat to the housing market and to small landlords who depend on its stability.

For homebuyers, these 50-year mortgages could offer easier access to loans, lower monthly payments, and the illusion of improved affordability. However, these purported benefits for homebuyers mask what could be a significant boon to banks.

So, who would be among the first to get caught in the crossfire? Small-time landlords who have built their businesses around traditional 30-year mortgages. By floating these new loans, lawmakers threaten to reduce the rental supply, create highly volatile housing markets, and harm the very individuals who spent years building the housing stock that millions of renters rely on, TurboTenant reports.

Why 50-Year Mortgages Are a Questionable Idea to Begin With

Landlords aside, 50-year mortgages are a dubious idea for our housing market as a whole. These long-term loans could drastically slow equity growth and trap buyers in lifelong debt. Worse, they could push sellers, lenders, and builders to artificially inflate home prices, fully aware that borrowers can stretch mortgage payments over half a century. And all of this encourages Americans to take on unsustainable levels of debt at a time when the national burden is rapidly approaching $39 trillion.

Essentially, these suspect loans create the illusion of improved affordability without addressing the underlying cause of unaffordability: soaring home prices driven by a lack of supply. By drawing more buyers into housing markets, competition will likely intensify and push home prices to new heights.

And, at the risk of sounding morbid, the average first-time homebuyer will likely die before ever paying off a 50-year mortgage. In the United States, the median age of first-time buyers is 40, and the median lifespan is 78.4 years, meaning the average first-time buyer would need to live until at least 90 just to make their final mortgage payment.

And while it’s true that countries like Japan allow borrowers to take on 100-year loans and view real estate ownership as a multi-generational privilege, Americans are more shaped by an individualistic spirit that prizes the ability to move multiple times over their lifetimes.

30-Year Borrowers Can’t Compete With 50-Year Payments

It’s simple: Buyers using 50-year mortgages can afford far higher p
