PHOENIX - The death of Queen Elizabeth II marked the end of an era for not only the United Kingdom, but also for many other countries around the world as well.As her son, now known as King Charles III, takes over the reign from his late mother, there will likely be some changes that will take place in the UK and a number of other countries, including some countries close to the US.Here's what you should know about the changes ahead.King Charles (then Prince Charles, Prince of Wales), in a photo taken on September 7, 2022. (Photo by Jane Barlow - WPA Pool/Getty Images) While it goes without saying that with the queen's death, the United Kingdom will get a new head of state, it is also worth noting that this will also mean a change in a number of other countries' heads of state.This is because a number of countries around the world also have the British monarch as their monarch.According to reports from the BBC, King Charles III will also become the head of state in 14 countries that are known as "Commonwealth Realms."

United Airlines invests $15 million in flying taxis: 'Going to change the way we live'

United signs purchase agreement for up to 400 eVTOL aircraft (Photo: United) United Airlines thinks that in a few years, plenty of big-city customers will pay $100 or more for a one-way ride to the airport in a four-seat, electric-powered air taxi.The Chicago-based airline said Thursday that it invested $15 million in a startup manufacturer, and signed a "conditional" agreement to buy 200 of the tiny aircraft with options for 200 more.United said it expects to receive the first taxis — which will take off and land vertically, like helicopters — from Eve Air Mobility as soon as 2026.It's hard to judge United's commitment to the deal, since it wouldn't provide terms for the order. A spokesman said the conditions are standard when buying an aircraft that hasn't been certified by regulators, and they cover "a number of United’s business objectives."The stake in Eve amounts to less than 5% of United's second-quarter profit.READ MORE: United Airlines threatens to end service at major U.S. airportBut the deal fits United's pattern of announcing interest in startups that are trying to build and win regulatory approval for air taxis, like Archer, and supersonic planes, like Boom.Mike Leskinen, president of United's venture-funding arm, said the eVTOLs — electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft — will be ideally suited for traffic-clogged cities where United flies, including New York, Chicago and San Francisco.

Not all Canadians feel the pain of interest rate hikes. Here’s why that might change

interest rates today, efforts to get inflation back to manageable levels could leave some debt and mortgage holders feeling the pain for years to come.The Bank of Canada is widely expected to raise its benchmark interest rate again on Wednesday, marking the fifth time it would have raised the cost of borrowing so far this year in an attempt to cool the economy and tamp down rampant levels of inflation. Bank of Canada expected to raise key interest rate again as inflation persists CIBC deputy chief economist Benjamin Tal argues that thanks to the structure of Canadian household debt, the direct impact of rising interest rates is currently limited to roughly one in four debt holders, largely focused around homeowners with certain kinds of mortgages.“When people hear about higher interest rates, they assume that everybody will be paying more.
