The Intricacies of Jared Goff's Football Career and Family Relationships
By Ngozika
For the past four seasons and counting, L.A. Rams quarterback, Jared Goff, has been touted as the man who will lead the franchise to their first title in nearly two decades and this assertion is with good reason. After overcoming a horrendous 2016 rookie season, the player has shown remarkable improvement and has received several honors.
In week 4 of the 2018 NFL season, he earned a perfect QB rating of 158.3, completing 26 of 33 passes for 465 yards five touchdowns and no interception, in a 38-31 win over the Minnesota Vikings. This was the 49th time such had been achieved in NFL history and it has rekindled the hopes of fans of the franchise. Many experienced analysts, however, remain cautiously optimistic.
A Look At His Championship Winning Days at Marin Catholic High School
Jared Thomas Goff was born on the 10th of October 1994 in San Rafael, Marin County, California. He had his high school education at Marin Catholic High School Kentfield where he played football for three years from 2010 to 2012. In three seasons, he completed 477 of 762 passes for a combined 7687 yards, 93 touchdowns, and 18 interceptions.
In doing this, Goff led his school to one North Coast Section crown, three North Coast Section playoff appearances, and three Marin County championships. He thus finished his high school career on an impressive note and was a highly-prized prized recruit going into college football.
He Set Numerous Records in the Pac-12 Conference
Jared Goff fended off advances from several colleges who were interested in him and chose the University of California, Berkeley. He spent three seasons at Cal; starting all 37 games possible and shattering several school records in the process. In his rookie season, he was named the starter for the season opener becoming the only true freshman quarterback in the school history to achieve such a feat.
As a junior in 2015, he led his school to victory in the armed forces bowl. Overall, in 37 games for the Golden Bears, Goff completed 977 of 1569 passing attempts for 12,220 yards and 96 touchdown passes. His passing yards, passing touchdowns, passing attempts, and completions are all school records. He also set several records in the Pac-12 conference. His 4719 yards and 44 touchdowns in his senior season are both single-season Pac-12 records and he was named a first-team All-Pac-12 that season.

Overcoming his Dismal Rookie Season in the NFL
Jared Goff forwent his final year of college football in favor of the 2016 NFL draft. He was selected by the Los Angeles Rams who signed him to a handsome (by rookie standards) four-year deal worth a fully guaranteed sum of $27.9 million. Goff's first season with the Rams was mostly average, completing 112 of 205 passes for 1089 yards and six touchdowns. His team lost all the 7 games that he started and many declared him a fluke. The QB, however, shut his critics up with a stellar second season.
He started all 15 games; completing 296 of 477 pass attempts for 3804 passing yards, 28 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions. The Rams won 11 of 16 matches on their way to clinching the NFC West divisional title and making it to the playoffs. Such impressive feat fetched the player several accolades including the award for the PFWA's most improved player of the year as well as prestigious selection to the Pro Bowl.
Since that breakout year, Jared Goff has continued to consolidate on his performance and this has seen him take his team to their first Super Bowl berth since 2001. This was Super Bowl LIII where they took on the New England Patriots. They, however, lost as their offense was stifled by the defensively disciplined and more experienced Patriots.

Unraveling The Close Bond He Shares with his Family
Goff with parents and sister
Jared Goff comes from a tight-knit family of four which includes his dad, Jerry Goff, and mom, Nancy. His parents are both alumni of the University of California Berkeley. Goff's dad is a former professional baseball player. He played college baseball at Berkeley where his 29 home-runs is the 9th highest in the school's history. He was drafted into the MLB in 1986 and played for teams such as the Seattle Mariners, Montreal Expos, Pittsburgh Pirates and Houston Astros. Jerry retired in 2000 and now works as a firefighter in his native California.

Nancy, on the other hand, works in the mortgage banking sector. She is quite proud of her son and is also close to him. She even served as his date to the NFL draft where he was picked seventh overall. Finally, Goff has a beloved elder sister named Lauren. She attended UCLA and holds a degree in International Development. She also has a master's in Social Welfare from the same institution. Goff is quite close to everyone in his family and often celebrates them on Instagram. For instance, the star quarterback took to his Instagram page in 2017 to congratulate his sister on her nuptials. The UCLA alum tied the knot with her boyfriend, a high school teacher named Mason Butts.

A Breakdown of the Quarterback's Playing Technique
Jared Goff is 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 222lbs or 100kg. Additionally, he has an arm length of 32 inches and a hand size of 9 inches. Both measurements constitute ideal sizes for an NFL quarterback but Goff still experienced some hiccups before his draft as some argued that his hands were too small for the NFL.
The player, therefore, knew that he had to work extra hard on his playing technique and he focused on improving his throwing. He is now one of the best throwers in the NFL and isn't afraid to take advantage of the easy opportunities that come his way in that regard.
Goff has also been described as a system quarterback and the reason is not farfetched. The player has greatly fed off the brilliant system put in place by his dynamic coach, Sean McVay. McVay radically transformed the Rams' offensive and defensive line upon his arrival in 2017 and one of the biggest beneficiaries was none other than Goff. It helped him achieve his phenomenal comeback in his sophomore season.

When their sexual motivation system is activated, men behave in ways that would increase their desirability as a mating partner to women. For example, they take greater risks and become more altruistic. We examine the possibility that men's sexual motivation, when elicited, can influence their preference for meat because meat signals status to others, including women—and signalling status is one way to help men achieve their mating goals. We find support for this hypothesis in three studies involving consumption (Study 1) and preference (Studies 2 and 3) for meat. Men's desire for status mediates their liking for meat. In contrast, when their sexual motivation system is activated, women like meat less, possibly since they pursue other strategies such as beauty and health to make themselves desirable to men. Thus, we suggest that evolutionary processes shape food preferences. We discuss the contributions and limitations of our results as well as practical implications for reducing meat consumption—to not only improve one's physical health but food sustainability.

While it is well-known that larger food portions lead to increased consumption (i.e., the portion size effect), previous studies confound the effect of the size and the number of food units making up the larger portion. Moreover, empirical tests of the mechanism underlying the portions size effect are scarce. In response to these shortcomings, we present three experiments that test the impact of food unit-size and unit-number on consumption of increasingly large portion sizes, and assess whether perceptions of quantity (driven by unit size or number) mediate the portion size effect. Study 1 (n = 185), tracking actual consumption, shows that the portion size effect is determined more by unit-size than unit-number. Relative consumption ratios are higher when participants were served portions made up of enlarged food units compared to more food units. Since perceived quantity and consumption are thought to be negatively related, Study 2 (n = 193) reveals that consumers' quantity perceptions of portions are lower for unit-size (vs. unit-number) increases. Study 3 (n = 189) considers both perceived quantity and consumption and demonstrates that perceived quantity indeed mediates the effect of food portion size on consumption. Finally, this study also shows that encouraging consumers to focus perceptually on size when portion size increases are in terms of unit-size, or focus on number when portion size increases are in terms of unit-number, supports them in increasing quantity perceptions and decreasing actual consumption. Hence, manipulating the perceptual focus of consumers helps to mitigate the portion size effect. The findings contribute to literature on the portion size effect and numerosity heuristic, and provide practical insights on food packaging so to tackle the obesity crisis.

In 2018 restaurants in the United States will need to provide calorie information on their menus as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. In the present research, we examine the efficacy of this legislation in reducing restaurant based food calorie consumption. Specifically, we explore the likely effect of the new policy on both the supply and demand side, that is, consumer and retailer behaviors. To achieve this, two studies are included in this research: a meta-analysis of 186 studies investigating the effect of calorie disclosure on calories selected, and a meta-analysis of 41 studies examining the effect of calorie disclosure on calories offered by retailers. Across these two studies we reveal a significant and unequivocal calorie disclosure effect for menu labels; disclosure results in both fewer calories selected (−27 Calories) and fewer calories offered by retailers(−15 Calories).

(2008) showing that the diet-conscious tend to eat more when a portion is broken into multiple smaller partitions than when it is unpartitioned. The results show that the partitioning paradox is clearer when diet-consciousness is manipulated than measured. A meta-analysis reveals that the partitioning paradox among the diet-conscious is a medium size effect, but also that partitioning has an opposite and equal size effect on the non-diet conscious: they eat more from the unpartitioned than the partitioned package.

© 2014, American Marketing Association Food marketing is facing increasing challenges in using portion size (e.g., "supersizing") as a marketing tool. Marketers have used portion size to attract customers and encourage purchase, but social agencies are expressing concern that larger portion sizes encourage greater consumption, which can cause excessive consumption and obesity. This article addresses two questions that are central to this debate: (1) How much effect does portion size have on consumption? and (2) Are there limits to this effect? A meta-analytic review reveals that, for a doubling of portion size, consumption increases by 35% on average. However, the effect has limits. An extended analysis shows that the effect of portion size is curvilinear: as portions become increasingly larger, the effect diminishes. In addition, although the portion-size effect is widespread and robust across a range of individual and environmental factors, the analysis shows that it is weaker among children, women, and overweight individuals, as well as for nonsnack food items and in contexts in which more attention is given to the food being eaten.

Young people are a high risk group for gambling problems and university (college) students fall into that category. Given the high accessibility of gambling in Australia and its association with entertainment, students from overseas countries, particularly those where gambling is restricted or illegal, may be particularly vulnerable. This study examines problem gambling and its correlates among international and domestic university students using a sample of 836 domestic students (286 males; 546 females); and 764 international students (369 males; 396 females) at three Australian universities. Our findings indicate that although most students gamble infrequently, around 5 % of students are problem gamblers, a proportion higher than that in the general adult population. Popular gambling choices include games known to be associated with risk (cards, horse races, sports betting, casino games, and gaming machines) as well as lotto/scratch tickets. Males are more likely to be problem gamblers than females, and almost 10 % of male international students could be classified as problem gamblers. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that male gender, international student status, financial stress, negative affect and frequency of gambling on sports, horses/dogs, table games, casino gaming machines, internet casino games and bingo all significantly predicted problem gambling. Results from this study could inform gambling-education programs in universities as they indicate which groups are more vulnerable and specify which games pose more risk of problem gambling.

Violent content is used in social cause advertising campaigns as a means of discouraging antisocial attitudes and behaviors, despite the fact that findings regarding the effectiveness of including violence in advertisements are equivocal. The present research explores the efficacy of violent advertisements by investigating how such ads affect implicit associations with violent words/acts. The importance of implicit associations is that they can affect judgments and behaviors long after explicit memory for the advertisement has decayed. The findings of the research point to the prevalence of individual differences in response to violent ads. Specifically, social cause advertisements are effective in weakening implicit associations with violence for nonaggressive individuals, as would be desired. However, these campaigns strengthen implicit associations for aggressive individuals. Ameliorating their aggressive associations would be advantageous both to the individual and society; however, the results suggest such advertisements make matters worse. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A meta-analysis of 34 samples identified a small but reliable "Monday blues" effect (-.08 < or = d < or = -.06) in samples reporting current or real-time moods for each day of the week. However, the size of the effect in samples reporting recalled summaries of moods experienced over the course of a day varied depending on whether the sample involved university students or nonstudents. University students reporting recalled summaries of daily moods showed a large Monday blues effect (d = -.25), whereas married men who were not students reported smaller effects with greater variance (-.19 < or = d

Purpose: Joseph Pine and Jim Gilmore coined the term "experience economy" to describe a paradigm shift in consumption. To survive in this new economy, businesses must provide customers with memorable consumption experiences. The purpose of this paper is to suggest eight ingredients that need to be incorporated into a compelling experience. Commercial experience providers, not-for-profit organizations, and political entities stand to benefit by integrating these elements in the experiences they provide to their targeted constituencies. Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative phenomenological case study approach is employed using the 2008 Democratic National Convention as the referent for dissemination of a compelling experience. Findings: Eight attributes were distilled that together constitute an unforgettable experience: planning, resourcing, targeting, anticipating, enabling, empathizing, framing, and engaging. Practical implications: All experience providers desirous of creating compelling customer experiences for their targeted audiences would find it worthwhile to actively incorporate each of these elements in their product. Originality/value: The paper uses a well-planned and well-executed political convention to uncover the building blocks of a compelling consumer experience. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited.

Mental simulation involving envisioning future scenarios in the mind's eye, has been found to positively impact self-regulatory
behavior. In the present research, we questioned whether this is always the case. We find that individuals disengage from the pursuit
of goal attainment following process simulation, but not following outcome simulation.

Literature in sequential choice categorizes focal actions and reactions as either goal consistent or inconsistent. In practice, there are
shades of consistency: some actions are greater failures than are others. Based on three inter-related studies, we empirically
demonstrate that the likelihood of performing subsequent actions is affected by the extent of failure of the current action; and, that this
effect is moderated by a process mental simulation versus an outcome simulation prime.

Q: Why have maps stopped working with the latest Google Maps update? I've recently finished building an app which shows the location of some local business. But since the most recent Google Maps update, when I try to show the location of a business in the map, it shows me a message saying "No results for posx, posy". Here is the code I've been using:
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=" + posx + ", " + posy + " (" + name+ ")"));
startActivity(intent);

What is causing the issue?

A: The problem here is, if you start navigation without enabling gps and then enable it while the app is running, it doesn't sense that gps is on. Its just because it asks if the gps is on when it first turns on. The solution would be that you need to enable gps before entering the app, or if you forget, just back out of the app and re-enter.Also can stop updates to fix the issue.

Last spring we had the first UI5con – a full-day community event dedicated to UI5 development, which not only sold out within 48 minutes but also turned out to exceed expectations by being just awesome. Driven by the UI5 community's enthusiasm, more events followed: one launched in Eindhoven in November 2016, the next one is already waiting in the wings to connect the UI5 crowd later this month in Frankfurt.
Motivated by the huge success and driven by the overall positive response, we had this dream of bringing community and lab even a little closer together. And here it comes: UI5con@SAP!

When the weather is not suited to hanging wet laundry outside, clothes are often dried indoors. When drying clothes indoors, a discomforting odor can be generated from insufficiently dried clothes. The odor is caused by bacteria growing in dirt that was not removed from the fabric during washing. As a solution, the Lion Corporation developed several small super-concentrated laundry detergents. This includes a bactericidal laundry detergent called Heyaboshi (Hang-to-Dry Indoors) TOP, which is designed to eliminate existing bacteria. A second product is an antibacterial washing powder Top HYGIA, which is designed to prevent bacteria from growing in the fabric. Top HYGIA was chosen as the Nikkei hit product rankings bestselling product of the year in 2012.
Even if the detergent is antibacterial or bactericidal, Dr. Yamagata stresses the need "to use the detergent properly and to dry the laundry sufficiently to maximize these effects." Test*1 results show that the wet smell is generated when wet laundry is not completely dried for five hours after being washed. This means that wet laundry must be dried within five hours. Although evaluations have been undertaken to validate the most effective layout for drying wet laundry, Dr. Yamagata reveals that the data was not yet fully conclusive. They conducted tests to determine the effectiveness of three drying layouts using square hangers. They were: 1) arch layout, 2) in-turn layout, and 3) V-shape layout. The arch layout hangs wet laundry in an arch pattern, with long laundry hung at both ends and short laundry in the middle. The in-turn layout alternates long and short laundry. The V-shape layout hangs short laundry at both ends and long laundry in the middle. The tests were undertaken indoors at 25°C and 65% relative humidity. The time required to dry the wet laundry using the arch layout was 4 hours. It took 4.5 hours to dry the laundry using the V-shape layout. Drying time was even longer for the in-turn layout. This suggested that hanging laundry using an arch layout is the most effective among the tested layouts*2.

Transient analyses were performed using linear low-Reynolds number model.
Figure 2: Analysis results of arch layout (left), V-shape layout (center), and in-turn layout (right).
Test results suggested that hanging wet laundry in an arch is the most effective among the tested drying layouts, but the explanation for why was unknown. Dr. Yamagata assumed the drying process involved updraft caused by stack effects. A block of air with a temperature higher than the surroundings rises upward due to its lower density. This is the same mechanism used when air in a chimney rises. Updraft from the collected vapor is created below the wet laundry when the wet laundry is hung in an arch. The updraft moves upward due to the lower density, which helps dry the wet laundry faster.
Dr. Yamagata had been searching to find an alternative means to validate why the arch layout appeared to be the most effective drying layout, other than undertaking more tests. This is when he came up with the idea of using simulations. Software Cradle was recommended by university researchers investigating airflow in indoor living spaces. Dr. Yamagata decided to consult Software Cradle for further help.
Having received a request from Dr. Yamagata, Software Cradle performed computational analyses using scSTREAM, and compared the analysis results with the test findings. As shown in Figure 1, the analysis results show that the drying process involves downdraft, and not updraft. The heat of vaporization created by vapor from the wet laundry cools the surrounding air. The cooled air is collected below the arched laundry, which creates downdraft (results shown in Figure 2).

Why does this always have to be the case? Do mammas have some sort of magic wands? All they have to say Abra-ka-dabra or gilli gilli chooo and the crying STOPS! From the husband, nanny, the 'well-meaning' mother-in-law, and the whole world, why does everyone just ASSUME that mamma knows everything? How can she? She wasn't born a mother. Mothering is really tough. Name ONE job on this planet which is as tough as being a mom. Plus, babies don't come with a manual on motherhood, do they?
Sonali has lent her voice to All Out's #MujheSabNahiPata campaign, which encourages mothers all over India, to come forward and acknowledge that they did not know something about their child's well-being. In a world of constantly merging threats, if you allow yourself to feel soul-crushing guilt for every choice you make as a parent, or things that may have been overlooked unintentionally, it will take a toll on you.
At an event organized for the campaign, one of the panelists, Ruchita Dar Shah, founder of the popular mommy community First Moms Club, put it – "The moment baby is out, GUILT enters our anatomy".
Should I leave my baby and go for a run/waxing-threading/catch a nap?
Am I feeding him/her alright and enough variety?
Am I doing enough research to buy him the right books?
Am I doing everything that I need to for my child? Or am I missing some stuff?
And boy, what follows is this Titanic-sized pressure to comply with that one line 'mamma knows everything'. Obviously, there will be several occasions when you will feel that you have failed. There is no defined path to becoming a perfect mother, but a million ways to be all messed up thanks to the social pressure.
Mothers CANNOT know everything. Could she have known that the Dengue mosquito doesn't breed only in dirty water? Like renowned Mumbai-based pediatrician Dr Samir Dalwai, who was one of the panelists at the event explained that it can also breed in clean water, like in a flower vase kept at home.
Thank you All Out for starting this campaign and taking a powerful stand for mothers in India and helping them to say #MujheSabNahiPata. Thank you for acknowledging that a mother cannot possibly know everything and starting this dialogue, for I am able to take a massive load, a part of mom-guilt, off my chest today. And I believe that many others who attended the event, the ones who have watched or will watch the commercial in the future will also be able to do so.
Sharing your experience with other moms will empower them to be more vigilant about their child's health and be better prepared. To remind yourself that it's okay to not know everything, follow the olden practice of tying a knot at the end of your dupatta, scarf or saree. All you moms out there, let go of that 'mom-guilt' and share your #MujheSabNahiPata story with all of us. I look forward to hearing from you in the comments section.

At Paramount Financial we've spent some time considering and studying the shifting paradigm of communication, which encompasses not only the mediums we employ day-to-day in order to communicate but also the styles used through each medium – be it phone call, text, email, or social media (and various best practices given the specific social media app). We need to tailor our communication style to the medium, while also take into consideration the individual(s) on the receiving end of any transmission.
In this installment of the Paramount Press we'd like to examine the habits of three well-known demographics. We'll unpack some of the identified traits of each demo – and try to imagine what effective communication with each group looks like given their preferences.There is an inevitable shift taking place right now in the American workforce. It's ripple effect is felt in nearly every facet of how we do business. The change I'm speaking about is the retiring of Baby Boomers, the shifting needs of Gen X'ers and the upward mobility of the Millennial/Gen Y crowd.
It's vital, as business owners, that we evaluate our communication with existing and potential customers. Each interaction can, and must, be tailored to the nuanced communication styles of each demographic segment.
Of course, I'm not naïve enough to believe that every individual within these demographics fit into the somewhat narrow structures defined by marketing gurus, however, there are certainly common threads and certain demographic truths that can be implemented into any organization's MarComm plans.
For example: A Baby Boomer and Gen X'er are more apt to interact with marketing that touts savings or a one-time deal, while conversion with a Millennial is more likely when putting forth a philanthropic or community-based giving in exchange for purchase.
In come the new kids, poised 76 million strong to take over the majority of our nation's workforce within the next few years. Growing up with digital toys and technologies all around them, this quick, insightful, intelligent and energetic group believes they can achieve whatever dreams they have. Growing up instilled with optimism and the "you can achieve anything" attitude, their determination and drive emboldens their outlook on life. Equally equipped with sense of entitlement, creative nature and unafraid attitude, Millennials are a powerful group worthy of understanding. They respect differences and value work which represents an effort to achieve something greater than simply "clocking-in". With assuredness, a mastery of today's technology and open minded perspective, the best communication is direct and to the point while keeping in mind the importance of catering to their feelings through positive feedback, kudos and compliments.
The largest of today's workplace, and soon to be retiring generation, the Baby Boomers number over 80 million and were raised in the surrounding of unlimited possibility coupled with a "career first" and hard work mentality. Their nature is built around putting time in, to achieve success. As a result, their dedication to the company and long-term follow through sets the stage for how they naturally communicate after years of conditioning through hard work, which is detailed, documented and fact-driven content. But there's also a flip side to this coin. As they're growing older, watching their sons and daughters create families of their own, they genuinely love, and are proud of, the reflection created by talking about what's made them who they are, and they want to hear your side of life too! I've found the best responses from this generation comes from authentic and non-business related conversation, which builds rapport and segues into a good business relationship. They like to know how you are and mostly expect the same, resulting in genuine dialogue and and what I consider to be an enjoyable experience.
The sons and daughters of Baby Boomers, today's 44 million Gen-X'ers in America grew up in an environment of adaptability and a "life before work" type of attitude. Raised during a time when divorce rates tripled in America, they became self-reliant and leaned on each other for support. This resulted in the development of a common attitude which valued family, relationships and well-being over the previous generation's "career life". Additionally, their upbringing coincided with the infusion of new, digital technologies we all use today, like internet, e-mailing and texting. As a result, a lot of this tech-savvy generation's communication is made from those platforms, and they are comfortable in receiving responses in the same fashion. This large and imaginative group likes to feel both good and secure, innovate through hard work and find the best way possible to maintain the quality of their life and work balance for themselves and their family. Speaking to this demographic requires a different approach than we would the Baby Boomers, not only because of their familiarity with technological communication, but because of their alternative mindset, outlook and perspective. Gen-X'ers seek and respond well to your personal (and up-beat) opinion and honesty in what they do, and likewise feel more comfortable when you're genuinely interested in theirs. This establishes a genuine and trusted connection. With that connection established, the best communication is more topic than platform driven – they cherish relatable conversation, and chiming in on what's going on with you as much as you do with them.

Age UK responds to state pension age debate

Age UK responds to state pension age debate in the House of Lords
Age UK has pledged to step up its campaign against government plans to force many women to wait longer for their state pension following the House of Lords debate on the Pensions Bill yesterday (30 March 2011).
Members of the House of Lords showed strong support for reversing the Pensions Bill proposals which will force millions of women to wait longer for their state pension, costing the worst affected as much as £10,000 in lost pension income.
An amendment tabled by Lord McKenzie of Luton and supported by Baroness Howe and the Bishop of Ripon and Leeds aimed to stop the increase in the state pension age from 65 to 66 before 2020. During the debate, many Peers spoke passionately in favour of the amendment, arguing that it gave women more time to plan for a delayed state pension, and highlighting the impact on particular groups of women affected such as carers. The vote was narrowly lost, with 214 votes in favour of the amendment and 226 against, but the close result shows how the level of support for changes to make the Pensions Bill fairer for women.
Michelle Mitchell, Age UK's Charity Director, said:
'We are extremely encouraged by the strong support shown in the House of Lords to halt the speeding up of the state pension age rise, and will now be stepping up our campaign to fight these proposals. With increasing numbers of people joining our campaign to give women a fairer pensions deal, it's clear that there is growing opposition to the Government's plans. If given the green light these changes will deny millions of people the chance to plan properly for their retirement and will condemn the poorest to even more hardship. We urge the Government to reconsider its plans to increase the state pension age to 66 before 2020.'

Elon Musk loses the title of the richest person in the world. Bernard Arnault snatched it from him
Leave a Comment / business / By thaipriusclub
Lost American billionaire, Elon Musk, his title as the richest person in the worldAt its peak, his fortune was estimated at $340 billion.
The Frenchman, Bernard Arnault, became the owner of the title of the richest person in the world, which he was previously called more than once.
Musk's wealth, 51, has fallen by more than $100 billion since January to $163.6 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
That compares with the $170.8 billion net worth of Bernard Arnault, 73, whose fortune is largely derived from his 48% ownership of fashion giant LVMH.
Musk's loss of his title comes for the first time since he gained the title in September 2021, the culmination of a turbulent year for the famous billionaire.
Musk shocked the world in April with his offer to acquire Twitter for $44 billion, but his agreement coincided with the Federal Reserve and other central banks embarking on their most aggressive rounds of monetary tightening, slashing the valuations of high-tech companies such as Tesla by more than 50%. This year.
Tesla fell 4.1% on Tuesday to $160.95, the lowest closing price since November 2020.
Musk tried for months to get out of the Twitter deal, but failed, and unloaded more than $15 billion in Tesla stock — about $8.5 billion in April, then another $6.9 billion in August — to raise enough money for the purchase.
Once the Twitter acquisition was completed in October, Bloomberg Wealth lost $10 billion of its fortune, reflecting the decline in comparable stocks since it made its bid.
And with Tesla's share price dropping, Musk's stake in Space Exploration Technologies Corp. has become an increasingly important part of his fortune.
SpaceX is valued at $47 billion, based on a June funding round that valued the private company at $125 billion.
Bloomberg News reported this week, citing people familiar with the matter, that SpaceX is offering to sell the insiders' shares at a price that would raise the company's valuation to about $140 billion.
This higher value could raise Musk's net worth, but it has not yet been used by the Bloomberg Wealth Index because it is unclear whether any shares have been traded so far and the volume of transactions, according to what was seen by Al Arabiya.net.
Arnault has long been a mainstay near the top of the wealth rankings, but his wealth has never grown at an exponential pace as that of America's tech billionaires.
Now his empire is holding on while Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Larry Page and Alphabet's Sergey Brin see their fortunes dented by rising interest rates.
Arnault's luxury brands benefited from pent-up demand unleashed as Covid-related shopping and travel restrictions were lifted in most countries.
Louis Vuitton's brands cater to the wealthy – from Christian Dior and Fendi to jewelers Bulgari and Tiffany & Co, among others.

Police investigating statue thefts at Connecticut cemetery
May 6, 2016 Updated: Aug. 26, 2017 2:28 p.m.
SOUTHINGTON >> Police are investigating a string of thefts that have occurred at St. Thomas Cemetery in Southington and are asking for the public's help in catching those responsible.
Lt. Michael Baribault says marble statues adorning gravestones at the Meriden Avenue cemetery have been reported stolen as early as Jan. 8. The most recent thefts happened late Wednesday or early Thursday.
The statues depict religious figures such as the Virgin Mary. Baribault called their thefts "despicable."
In an effort to catch the culprits, police have stepped up patrols in the area. Nick Melo, pastor of St. Thomas Parish, says the church has ordered gates for both entrances of the cemetery.
Melo says the thefts have all occurred in an older part of the cemetery, next to a wooded area.


Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis joined Supervisors Sheila Kuehl and Mark Ridley Thomas this Tuesday in voting to temporarily suspend the work being done on building the new "Consolidated Correctional Treatment Facility" (CCTF) that will replace the County's Men Central Jail (MCJ).
In remarks during the Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, Supervisor Solis indicated that there needs to be an independent evaluation of the actual number of treatment and other beds needed at the new jail.
"My constituents have told me that we would like to see further analysis; we shouldn't have to rush to build something the prior board agreed upon when I wasn't here", she said.
Substance abuse and other treatments as well as diversion programs should be at the center of the new facility, she said, but there needs to be more emphasis in the kind of services offered to the community "before some of those folks get to the jail".
"I don't want this to end up being a gigantic health facility that is inappropriately labeled as a jail. I want to see more substance abuse treatment in and out of the jail", she added.
