  1. Montana militia member charged with child-***** after Starbucks standoff Montana militia member charged with child-***** after Starbucks standoff An alleged Montana militia member was arrested after surrendering to authorities following an armed standoff at a Starbucks. Timothy Allen Westervelt, 34, faces child sex abuse charges and is accused of being an active member of the Yellowstone Militia, a group with members across the state. Authorities in Yellowstone County had issued a $250,000 warrant for his capture on four felony crimes: child sex abuse, child ***** and possession of child sex abuse material, according to the Billings Gazette. The probable cause documents outlining the case are currently under seal, as is standard in those involving minors. A day after the warrant was issued on January 27, Westervelt allegedly decided to evade arrest by hiding in a Starbucks for about an hour, forcing staff and customers to flee the area for safety. Yellowstone County law enforcement personnel and officers from the Livingston Police Department responded to the coffee shop and ultimately took Westervelt into custody. He was booked into Yellowstone County Detention Facility and his first court appearance was on Friday. The man had allegedly been part of a militia in and around the Billings area for more than four years. He’d tried to garner support for the group as recently as October, social media posts show, according to the outlet. The group’s website states it is not anti-government or law enforcement and says it welcomes all “law-abiding men and women,” the newspaper reported. During the ****** Lives Matter protests of 2020, shortly after the death of George Floyd, an unarmed ****** man who died at the hands of police in Minneapolis, Minnesota, armed militia members were seen near the Yellowstone County Courthouse as demonstrators called for renewed police accountability. Later, as a Juneteenth celebration took place around a county park, militia members circled the area. Westervelt faces up to 100 years in prison on each of the child sex abuse charges.

  2. How to Deal With Afternoon Fatigue How to Deal With Afternoon Fatigue Circadian rhythms dictate how bodily functions ebb and flow over a roughly daylong cycle, experts said, and these rhythms are largely set by a biological “clock” in the brain. Sleep pressure, meanwhile, is the idea that our need to sleep gradually builds the longer we’re awake. Our circadian rhythms are influenced by the environment, which means we generally feel awake and alert during daylight, and sleepier when it’s dark. But some fluctuations are normal: For instance, people tend to feel quite awake in the late morning, said Dr. Alon Avidan, a professor of neurology at the University of California, Los Angeles, but experience a dip in alertness in the afternoon — when certain neurotransmitters linked to feeling awake may become less active. Sleep pressure is generally lowest when we wake up in the morning — the body is like “a battery that is fully charged from getting a good night’s sleep,” Dr. Avidan said. But the longer we’re awake, the more our energy drains and the stronger sleep pressure becomes, he added. During the afternoon slump, those two forces — sleep pressure and circadian rhythms — are essentially “fighting each other,” said Dr. Ravi Allada, executive director of the Michigan Neuroscience Institute at the University of Michigan. When we feel drowsy, the pressure to sleep is winning the fight, he said. How long this feeling lasts can vary, but people tend to get a “second wind” in the early evening, Dr. Avidan said. The dip may feel worse, however, if you’re sleep-deprived or have an irregular bedtime schedule, said David Earnest, a professor of neuroscience and experimental therapeutics at Texas A&M University. Sleep disorders including insomnia or sleep apnea can exacerbate the feeling, too, he said.

  4. The Most Low Effort Hero in Overwatch 2 Requires 0 Skills The Most Low Effort Hero in Overwatch 2 Requires 0 Skills Let’s be honest here, Squirrel Girl is one of the easiest-to-use heroes you can pick up in Marvel Rivals. Seriously, her splash damage range is just too much, and half of the time, she’s not even looking at you when you die; it’s just some nut bouncing off something and hitting you. Marvel Rivals isn’t the only hero-shooter with heroes that require no skill. (Image via NetEase Games) Overwatch 2 players love to say that not a single hero in the Blizzard hero shoot doesn’t require skills to use. However, that’s clearly not the case when you take a look at Torbjörn and his abilities, which allow gamers to stand in a corner and watch the entire match go down. Torbjörn doesn’t need any skills in Overwatch 2 Torbjorn is borderline broken in Overwatch 2. (Image via Choice OW YouTube) As one of the original cast of heroes that debuted in Overwatch, Torbjörn has been terrorizing enemy teams with his turrets for years now. While his turret might not be as powerful as it was when the game launched, it’s still annoying to go against in the sequel. Oftentimes, we see Torbjörn mains say that their hero requires the most skill in the game due to the fact that he isn’t that mobile or doesn’t have great defensive capabilities. However, once you take a look at this video clip shared by a Redditor, you’ll realize that Torbjörn requires absolutely no skills. Torbjörn mains only have one job in Overwatch 2, and that’s sitting in a corner and using their turret to automatically aim and deal damage. There’s no need to master your weapons like Ash or Soldier 76; all you need to do is sit back and relax for your turret to hunt down players. If enemies are hunting down Torbjörn mains, all they need to do is use Overload and survive without any kind of effort. Seriously, Torbjörn’s kit provides the best value and requires no practice. He might not be as bad as Squirrel Girl, but he’s right up there. Overwatch 2 is in serious trouble Overwatch 2 is losing players thanks to the dominance of Rivals. (Image via Blizzard) It’s a known fact by this point that Marvel Rivals has shaken up the hero-shooter genre. The game launched with an unbelievable player count and reached another peak a few weeks later after the first season dropped. Somehow, it has also managed to retain that player base, unlike other live-service games. However, Rivals‘ biggest competitor, Overwatch 2, has been having a horrendous time. Taking a look at the data from SteamDB, in the three months leading up to the launch of Rivals, Overwatch 2 had an average player count of 33,738. However, in the seven weeks after Rivals hit the shelves, Overwatch 2‘s player count dipped to 20,565. That’s a 39% drop and should be ringing the alarm bells for Blizzard. It’s quite clear that Rivals‘ launch has had a massive impact on Overwatch 2. However, the game’s recent downward spiral can’t just be blamed on its competitor. Blizzard revealed Overwatch 2 as a sequel, which would completely change the franchise from the ground up. However, that didn’t happen, and things took a turn for the worse. Players despise the switch to 5v5, monetization plans, and the fact that Blizzard decided to cancel PvE, which was supposed to be the entire point of the sequel. With numbers dropping, it’s going to be interesting to see how Blizzard manages to overcome this situation. Do you think there’s another hero in Overwatch 2 that requires even fewer skills than Torbjörn? Let us know in the comments below.

  6. Lindsey Graham’s new challenge for Mike Johnson Lindsey Graham’s new challenge for Mike Johnson Speaker Mike Johnson already has to worry about a clutch of hard-line conservative ideologues inside the House Republican ranks as he tries to pass the heart of President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda. He also needs to keep an eye on one garrulous, shape-shifting, veteran Republican from the other side of the Capitol. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham has been back-channeling with some members of the hard-right House Freedom Caucus — picking their brains and giving them advice on trillions of dollars in overall spending cuts — as he prepares in his role as Budget Committee chair to pave the way for a party-line border, energy and defense bill. The Freedom Caucus, according to one member, has Chair Andy Harris (R-Md.) and Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) taking an informal lead in talking with senators including Graham. As lawmakers on both sides of the cross-Rotunda communications tell it, the aim of the talks is to help Republicans eventually get on the same page — something that has eluded the party so far. And Graham’s efforts have the tacit approval of other GOP senators, who know that whatever the Senate does has to pass muster with the House’s toughest votes. “We need their help, and they need ours,” Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) said in an interview. “It would be better if we got together.” But it’s also a direct contrast to the approach Johnson is taking at the behest of his committee chairs and fellow leaders. That would sweep together not only the energy, border and defense agenda that the Senate is pursuing, but also add in a dizzyingly complex tax overhaul to create “one, big beautiful bill” — one, Johnson believes, will be too big to fail. Graham’s competing push for a two-bill strategy has put the Freedom Caucus in rare alignment with him and Senate Majority Leader John Thune. Rubber could meet the road for that plan this week in the House Budget Committee, where Graham’s counterpart — panel Chair Jodey Arrington of Texas — is tasked with writing and sending to the floor a fiscal blueprint for the one-bill effort. It’s a first, high-stakes test of whether Johnson will end up getting the unity he needs to execute his plan. (Norman and Roy, as well as three other Freedom Caucus members, sit on the panel.) Graham, meanwhile, hasn’t publicly said when he will move forward in committee with his own budget blueprint — the necessary first step in the party-line reconciliation process. He’s also been holding closed-door meetings with members of his panel, who believe he could move in the next two or three weeks. Thune said in a brief interview last week the text is ready to go. “They’re in the camp of doing border first, and so am I,” Graham said about his outreach to Roy and his allies. “I told them to go find spending cuts that are reconciliation-compliant and get the votes.” Graham said he’s also reaching out to House Republicans more broadly and said in a previous interview that he also wanted to talk to Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who has floated doing three reconciliation bills. Yet it’s the working relationship with the House GOP’s hard-liners that is the latest twist in Graham’s decadelong political evolution. Best known as a Reaganite defense hawk, he infamously railed against then-candidate Trump during the 2016 election and destroyed his cellphone after Trump gave out his number in public in 2015. But Graham quickly pivoted to being one of Trump’s most steadfast allies, and a frequent golf partner, in the wake of his 2016 victory. Now as Budget Committee chair, he’s responsible for teeing up the heart of Trump’s legislative agenda — and navigating the intense GOP divisions that come with it. “We want to be respectful of the House,” said Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), a member of the Budget Committee, adding of Graham‘s timeline: “I think you’re going to see us move pretty quickly.” The informal Graham-Freedom Caucus alliance is odd on the surface: The ultra-conservative group is deeply anti-establishment and typically aligns itself more closely with more libertarian-styled Republicans like Utah Sen. Mike Lee, who has been known to stop by their weekly meetings. Norman is even flirting with a potential primary challenge against Graham in 2026 as he mulls running for either governor or Senate. And members of the group have tried to apply early public pressure on Thune when it comes to Trump’s nominees. But the two sides are united on a reconciliation strategy: splitting it into two parts, giving the party an early win on the border before tackling the much harder lift of a tax package before the end of the year. The Freedom Caucus is also backing a component — a Pentagon funding boost — that is important to Graham. A letter the group sent to House leadership last month proposed unlocking additional defense funding. ”We’re talking about spending stuff. … We’ve been talking pretty regularly,” Roy said about the talks with Graham, whom he called “a friend.” He added that the Freedom Caucus proposal is aimed at wanting a “strong defense, but we also want to free up [Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency] to be able to make cuts in discretionary” spending. Graham isn’t the only Senate Republican chatting behind the scenes with their House counterparts as they try to figure out a path forward. Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) is close friends and housemates with House Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith (R-Mo.). Senate Finance Chair Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) also said in a brief interview that he’s talked with Smith, Roy and other House Republicans about the upcoming tax debate. Graham is dealing with some skeptics within his own conference. Some GOP senators are supporting the one-bill approach because it appears to be Trump’s preferred option and they aren’t sure they can navigate the House’s tricky math twice. “The problem is, I don’t think the House is going to pass what we pass, but I think anything the House passes, we can pass,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a member of the Budget Committee and leadership adviser. Asked about his fellow Texan Roy wanting two, he quipped: “Well, God bless him.” Kennedy has two influential Lousianians in his own delegation — Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise — who favor trying to pass one package because of their narrow margin in the House and the assumption that no Democrats will vote for the bill. “They’re only going to get one bite at reconciliation. They don’t want to go back to the well twice,” Kennedy said of his House counterparts. “They’ve got a bunch of free-range chickens … and they all wander off and Mike can’t catch all of them and even President Trump, we’ve seen, can’t catch all of them.” House GOP leaders are aware of the back-channeling. But they are making clear they’re continuing to pursue Johnson’s one-bill plan. “It’s entirely their right — that’s what I think about it,” House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) said in a brief interview at the House GOP retreat in Florida. ”They can have whatever position they want to have.” “When that is ultimately done, our speaker has said he wants one bill. That’s what he’s designed the timeline for,” Emmer said. “That’s what we’re going to do.” Meredith Lee Hill, Katherine Tully-McManus and Jennifer Scholtes contributed to this report.

  7. Parenting expert Maggie Dent warns full-time kindy pledge is ‘stealing childhood’ Parenting expert Maggie Dent warns full-time kindy pledge is ‘stealing childhood’ Renowned parenting expert and author Maggie Dent has slammed moves to bring in full-time kindergarten for WA four-year-olds as another attempt at “stealing childhood”. Premier Roger Cook announced on Monday the Government would spend $33.8 million to trial full-time free kindy in 10 schools in 2027, if it is re-elected on March 8. The move, a national first, aims to end the juggle many parents face with a five-day kindy fortnight. Schools currently operate kindy three days one week, and two days the next. Early Childhood Education Minister Sabine Winton said she expected it could take a decade to roll out full-time kindy across the State. But Ms Dent warned that children sent to school full-time from a younger age were more likely to be subjected to the push down of a formal, academic curriculum, with less time for play. “We keep on stealing childhood of children in order to get them ready for school,” she said. “The first thing we did was steal the age of five.” Ms Dent said before pre-primary became full-time and compulsory, five-year-olds used to do a couple of half days, or two full days at school. “We automatically assume, the earlier we start, the smarter they get,” she said. “In actual fact, there is absolutely no evidence of that, and we’re now looking at teenagers with an epidemic of anxiety. We’ve got more children in our primary schools struggling with anxiety, and I’m going to say it’s because we keep on stealing childhood.” Even though many children attended child care full-time, she said that was structured for their needs, with nap times and outdoor play. “It’s a huge difference, because as soon as you attach them to a school, the push-down of the formalised curriculum comes in,” she said. Expecting children to attend kindy full-time in a school-based setting from the age of three and a half was a political decision, she said, that would be detrimental for most kids. “It’s about basically taking the wrong angle that says, ‘if we do this, we’ll save all your families a lot of money’, but they’re not factoring in the developmental issues they can be causing, which will actually possibly have even more economic issues later,” she said. “Experienced early childhood educators are pretty horrified, so I think we need to listen to the people who know best.” Mr Cook pitched the promise as a cost-of-living measure for young families. “Many of these parents, these working families, they have to pay for childcare for those extra days a week,” he said. “So this represents a saving of literally thousands of dollars a year for those families.” Full-time kindergarten attendance would be voluntary, Mr Cook said. WA Primary Principals Association president Niel Smith said school leaders were concerned the plan was focused more on cost-of-living issues than its educational benefits. Camera IconMr Cook pitched the promise as a cost-of-living measure for young families. Credit: Michael Wilson/The West *********** “Any change to full-time kindergarten must be done with the intention to improve children’s long-term outcomes and not just to cater to working families and cost of living pressures,” he said. WA Council of State School Organisations president Pania Turner said giving parents a choice would be crucial to the program’s success. “Many parents currently juggle kindy days and daycare days to enable them to work and other parents feel strongly that their child is ready for a full-time program from kindy age,” she said. “For other parents, the option of part-time, flexible enrolment in kindergarten serves them and their child much better.” State School Teachers Union president Matt Jarman was keen to see more details of the proposal. “We would need to see the outcomes of the trial before forming a view on whether full time kindy is in the best interests of children,” he said. WA Liberal leader Libby Mettam said the plan lacked detail. “It doesn’t kick in until 2027, it’s unclear whether there will be Federal funding attached, and if this is rolling out to about 400 kindergartens, we’re looking at a cost to the State of over $1 billion,” Ms Mettam said.

  8. This loophole let Temu and Shein become giants. Trump has just closed it This loophole let Temu and Shein become giants. Trump has just closed it Donald Trump’s tariffs could stop ******** fashion firms Shein and Temu from flooding the market with clothes and goods at low prices. Fast fashion giants rely on the de minimis rule, a century-old trade law that lets them to offer their products very cheaply. The rule allows imports valued at less than $800 (£650) to enter the United States duty-free, as long as they are packaged and addressed to individual buyers. It has boosted e-commerce shipments from the ******** companies, and others that rely on it to sell cheap clothes, houseware, **** supplies, cosmetics and more. But the US president’s new tariff orders against Canada, Mexico and China all contain clauses that scrap the de minimis exemption for small packages. Shein has bricks-and-mortar shops as well as making online sales – Phil Noble/Reuters This could prove devastating for the firms, which rely on very low profit margins by operating on a “factory-to-consumer” business model, experts say. “If they behave like most companies do, I wouldn’t be surprised if they try to pass it [costs] on,” Michael Sobolik, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute told The Telegraph. “But they find themselves facing a different challenge, which is the value proposition for the US consumer and how insanely cheap these products are. “American consumers are going to have to ask themselves, are they going to be willing to pay higher prices for these goods?” In 2023, US politicians offered a blistering critique of Shein and Temu, and concluded there was an “extremely high risk that Temu’s supply chains are contaminated with forced labour”. Workers in a textile factory that supplies Shein, in Guangzhou in China – ***** Gao/AFP via Getty The findings were part of a congressional investigation into products offered to American consumers that could be made with forced labour in China. According to documents Temu provided to the committee, it has more than 80,000 suppliers for its vast e-commerce platform. The report found the ******** firm had failed “to maintain even the facade of a meaningful compliance program” for its supply chains and was probably importing products made with forced labour into the US on a “regular basis”. Notably, the politicians criticised the company’s heavy use of the de minimis law. “The American people should not be subsidising slave labour produced goods at all so I think Mr Trump’s policy is fantastic,” Mr Sobolik added. Both Temu and Shein make heavy use of the loophole, together accounting for almost 600,000 such packages shipped to the US daily, the report said. “Temu and Shein are building empires around the de minimis loophole in our import rules – dodging import taxes and evading scrutiny on the millions of goods they sell to Americans,” Mike Gallagher, the Wisconsin Republican representative who chairs the committee, said at the time. He added: “We need to take a hard look at this loophole that is being abused to tilt the playing field against American companies.” One million packages a year The US Customs and Border Protection agency estimates that it processes more than one billion de minimis shipments per year. Joe Biden’s administration in January issued last-minute proposed rules to curb the de minimis exemption, denying it to goods under other punitive tariff orders, and requiring global shippers to identify the package contents by their 10-digit tariff codes. It is unclear if Customs and Border Protection, now under Mr Trump’s direction, will act to finalise that rule. Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg – BBC One Klaus Larres, a Global Europe and Kissinger China Institute Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Center, said costs would be passed on to American consumers so Temu and Shein can blame Mr Trump for the price hikes. “I think prices for the American consumer will go up first. I don’t think it will be felt tomorrow but prices will be raised,” he said. “And I think also the ******** will want to accept that, to make the American consumer at the very basic level feel what Trump is doing. “That is definitely the tactic, but I don’t think that they want to embark on a real ****-for-tat until something more severe happens.” Source link #loophole #Temu #Shein #giants #Trump #closed Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

  10. Fintech GoCardless halves loss, targets full-year profit by 2026 Fintech GoCardless halves loss, targets full-year profit by 2026 Hiroki Takeuchi, co-founder and CEO of GoCardless. Zed Jameson | Bloomberg | Getty Images Financial technology unicorn GoCardless more than halved losses in 2024 and said it’s aiming to reach full-year profitability by 2026. The London-based startup, which helps businesses collect recurring payments such as subscriptions, reported a net loss of £35.1 million ($43.8 million) in the full year ending June 30, 2024. That was a 55% improvement from the £78 million GoCardless lost the year prior. The firm noted that “restructuring activity” at the end of the full year ending June 2023 contributed to a reduction in operating losses in 2024. In June 2023, GoCardless announced it was cutting 15% of its global workforce. That took GoCardless’ salary expenses down 13% to £79.2 million in the company’s 2024 fiscal year. Still, while this improved the company’s financial picture, GoCardless’ CEO Hiroki Takeuchi told CNBC that revenue growth also helped significantly. “We’re much more focused on the cost side … We want to be getting very efficient as we scale,” Takeuchi said in an interview last week. “But we also need to continue growing. We need both of those things to get to where we want to be.” GoCardless grew revenue by 41% to £132 million in full-year 2024. Of that total, £91.9 million came from customer revenue. Last year also saw GoCardless record its first-ever month in profit in March 2024. Takeuchi said its his aim for GoCardless to post its first full-year profit in 12 to 18 months’ time, adding it’s “well on track” to do so. ‘No plans’ to IPO Back in September, GoCardless acquired a firm called Nuapay, which helps businesses collect and send payments via bank transfer. Asked whether GoCardless is considering further mergers and acquisitions in future, Takeuchi said the firm is “actively looking,” adding: “We’re seeing lots of opportunities come up.” Following its acquisition of Nuapay, Takeuchi said GoCardless is currently testing a new feature that allows clients to distribute funds to their own customers. “If you take something like energy, the vast majority of the payments are about collecting money,” he told CNBC. “But then you might have some of your customers that have solar panels on their roof and they’re sending energy back to the grid, and they need to get paid for that energy that they’re generating.” GoCardless, which is backed by Alphabet’s venture arm GV, Accel and BlackRock, was last privately valued by investors at $2.1 billion in February 2022. Takeuchi said the firm had no need for external capital and that there are “no plans” for an initial public offering in the near term. Fintechs have been watching Swedish fintech Klarna’s plan to go public closely — but many are waiting to see how it goes before deciding on their own plans. With technology IPOs at historic lows, several startups have instead opted to provide employees and early shareholders liquidity by selling shares in the secondary market. In November, Bloomberg reported that GoCardless had chosen investment bank Lazard to advise it on a $200 million secondary share *****. GoCardless declined to comment on the report.

  14. JWST Detects Unexpectedly Massive ****** Holes in the Early Universe JWST Detects Unexpectedly Massive ****** Holes in the Early Universe Distant supermassive ****** holes, far larger than expected, have been detected in the early universe. Observations using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) indicate that these ****** holes hold a mass nearly 10 percent of their host galaxy’s stellar mass, a stark contrast to the 0.01 percent ratio observed in modern galaxies. This anomaly has raised new questions regarding the rapid formation and growth of ****** holes in the early stages of cosmic history. Research Findings on ****** Hole Growth According to the study published in the paper repository arXiv, a team led by Jorryt Matthee, a scientist at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), analysed data from JWST. The findings suggest that some early galaxies, identified as “little red dot” galaxies, contain supermassive ****** holes with masses nearly 1,000 times higher than previously estimated norms. These galaxies, observed from a time when the universe was around 1.5 billion years old, exhibit an unusual balance between stellar mass and ****** hole mass, challenging existing growth models. Implications for Early Universe Cosmology As per reports, these small galaxies exhibit a red hue due to the presence of an accretion disk surrounding the ****** holes. The intense gravitational pull allows for rapid matter consumption, potentially accelerating ****** hole expansion beyond current theoretical expectations. The study indicates that the density of surrounding gas in the early universe may have facilitated this extraordinary growth. Matthee stated to Space.com that these findings provide a promising avenue for further understanding ****** hole evolution. Further Observations Needed Researchers emphasise the need for additional studies to confirm whether measurement errors or selection bias contributed to these unexpected results. Ongoing observations with JWST aim to refine the understanding of early ****** hole formation, shedding light on whether these supermassive ****** holes were nurtured by dense galactic environments or formed through alternative mechanisms, such as direct gas collapse. The findings suggest that ****** holes and star formation are more interconnected than previously thought, prompting a reassessment of cosmic evolution models.

  15. Americans have high hopes for Trump’s economy, Gallup poll shows Americans have high hopes for Trump’s economy, Gallup poll shows (Reuters) – Americans are more bullish on the U.S. economy and the stock market and more hopeful about falling inflation and borrowing costs than they have been in a decade or more, including in the heyday of Donald Trump’s first presidency, a Gallup poll showed on Monday. Some 53% of Americans predicted the U.S. economy will grow over the next six months, based on telephone interviews conducted in the first two weeks of January with about 1,000 adults, Gallup said. That’s more than in any of its polls since 2005. Some 61% see stocks rising – the most since Gallup began asking the question in 2001. About 52% of those polled see inflation rising in coming months, but that’s the smallest chunk with that view since 2003, and 33% — a record by a large margin — said they expect inflation to drop. Some 41% expect interest rates to fall, more than the 35% that expect higher borrowing costs. The positive economic outlook is largely in line with that of many economists and policymakers at the Federal Reserve, who raised interest rates in 2022 and 2023 to fight high inflation and began cutting them late last year as inflation improved and the labor market cooled. Most Fed policymakers see the U.S. economy growing around 2.1% this year, slower than the 2.8% pace in 2024 but above its longer-term trend; they see inflation, which measured 2.6% in December by their preferred gauge, the 12-month change in the personal consumption expenditures price index, falling to 2.5% this year, and the unemployment rate, now 4.1%, rising to 4.3% by the end of this year. Americans did disagree over the outlook for jobs, with 38% seeing a rise in the unemployment rate, and an equal proportion seeing a decline. But overall, says Gallup poll senior editor Jeffrey Jones, optimism is on the upswing, driven in large part — but not solely — by high Republican expectations for economic prospects under a Republican president. Only 21% of Democrats, for instance, felt the economy would improve in coming months, versus 78% of Republicans, the poll showed. By contrast, confidence in a rising stock market was widely shared across age, gender, income, political party and education.

  16. Ubisoft Better Not Repeat an Infamous Controversy in a Previous AC Game That Forced Them to Release a Free DLC as Compensation Ubisoft Better Not Repeat an Infamous Controversy in a Previous AC Game That Forced Them to Release a Free DLC as Compensation Assassin’s Creed Shadows has found itself in a pool of controversies ever since it was first announced a couple of years ago. However, as the game’s development course continues to spiral downward, many are worried the studio will end up making the same mistake they made more than a decade ago. Assassin’s Creed Shadows is potentially the studio’s most ambitious title yet | Ubisoft Moreover, Ubisoft itself has had its fair share of unfortunate mishaps in recent times. With the studio more unstable than ever, will it be able to pull off the biggest comeback of all time in the history of AAA gaming? Assassin Creed and its legacy of blunders Assassins Creed has a long-running history of blunders | Ubisoft It goes without saying that the Assassin’s Creed franchise today is nowhere near the peak it was at till a few years ago, all thanks to the several blunders that gamers had to deal with. This includes the disastrous release of Assassin’s Creed Unity back in 2014. The game was filled with countless bugs, graphical glitches, and performance issues at launch that turned a next-gen showcase into an industry-wide joke. Ultimately, to compensate for the inconvenience, they not only issued multiple patches but also offered the game’s first paid DLC, Dead Kings, completely free to all players. Unity is the perfect cautionary tale of what happens when ambition doesn’t perfectly match execution. It is also exactly what fans are afraid will happen with Assassin’s Creed Shadows if Ubisoft isn’t able to perfectly nail everything this time around. While it is true the company eventually patched most of Unity’s major issues, the damage had been done. The challenge taken up next by the studio would be to deliver their upcoming title in unfavorable conditions, which can only be related to driving a ship through a storm. Why Assassins Creed Shadows is the ultimate curse upon Ubisoft Assassin’s Creed Shadows needs to be executed perfectly to not be a flop | Ubisoft Ever since the Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ announcement, everything has been going downhill for the studio. From major game failures to shareholders forcing the hand of the company’s top brass, Ubisoft has seen it all in the past year. Adding to that, what once was an ambitious title that would have brought the world of feudal Japan into the Assassin’s Creed universe now just remains a ticking time bomb for the studio. However, no matter how much the company tries to delay the game to polish it one last time, if history isn’t presented as it was in reality, it will not sit right with gamers. The setting of feudal Japan has essentially been long requested by every single fan of the franchise. If Ubisoft can nail it against all the odds, it will have successfully delivered the biggest comeback not only for a single IP but for the studio as a whole.

  17. Fintech GoCardless halves loss, targets full-year profit by 2026 Fintech GoCardless halves loss, targets full-year profit by 2026 Hiroki Takeuchi, co-founder and CEO of GoCardless. Zed Jameson | Bloomberg | Getty Images Financial technology unicorn GoCardless more than halved losses in 2024 and said it’s aiming to reach full-year profitability by 2026. The London-based startup, which helps businesses collect recurring payments such as subscriptions, reported a net loss of £35.1 million ($43.8 million) in the full year ending June 30, 2024. That was a 55% improvement from the £78 million GoCardless lost the year prior. The firm noted that “restructuring activity” at the end of the full year ending June 2023 contributed to a reduction in operating losses in 2024. In June 2023, GoCardless announced it was cutting 15% of its global workforce. That took GoCardless’ salary expenses down 13% to £79.2 million in the company’s 2024 fiscal year. Still, while this improved the company’s financial picture, GoCardless’ CEO Hiroki Takeuchi told CNBC that revenue growth also helped significantly. “We’re much more focused on the cost side … We want to be getting very efficient as we scale,” Takeuchi said in an interview last week. “But we also need to continue growing. We need both of those things to get to where we want to be.” GoCardless grew revenue by 41% to £132 million in full-year 2024. Of that total, £91.9 million came from customer revenue. Last year also saw GoCardless record its first-ever month in profit in March 2024. Takeuchi said its his aim for GoCardless to post its first full-year profit in 12 to 18 months’ time, adding it’s “well on track” to do so. ‘No plans’ to IPO Back in September, GoCardless acquired a firm called Nuapay, which helps businesses collect and send payments via bank transfer. Asked whether GoCardless is considering further mergers and acquisitions in future, Takeuchi said the firm is “actively looking,” adding: “We’re seeing lots of opportunities come up.” Following its acquisition of Nuapay, Takeuchi said GoCardless is currently testing a new feature that allows clients to distribute funds to their own customers. “If you take something like energy, the vast majority of the payments are about collecting money,” he told CNBC. “But then you might have some of your customers that have solar panels on their roof and they’re sending energy back to the grid, and they need to get paid for that energy that they’re generating.” GoCardless, which is backed by Alphabet’s venture arm GV, Accel and BlackRock, was last privately valued by investors at $2.1 billion in February 2022. Takeuchi said the firm had no need for external capital and that there are “no plans” for an initial public offering in the near term. Fintechs have been watching Swedish fintech Klarna’s plan to go public closely — but many are waiting to see how it goes before deciding on their own plans. With technology IPOs at historic lows, several startups have instead opted to provide employees and early shareholders liquidity by selling shares in the secondary market. In November, Bloomberg reported that GoCardless had chosen investment bank Lazard to advise it on a $200 million secondary share *****. GoCardless declined to comment on the report.

  18. Trump says the EU and *** are in line for tariffs, but deal is possible Trump says the EU and *** are in line for tariffs, but deal is possible President Donald Trump speaks at a joint news conference with Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May (not pictured) in London, Britain, June 4, 2019. Carlos Barria | Reuters U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday said trade tariffs would be imposed on the European Union and U.K., but signaled that a deal could still be worked out with Britain. Trump has sent global markets into a tailspin after following through on his threat to impose import tariffs on the U.S.’ largest trading partners, applying a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada and a 10% levy on goods from China. The tariffs are set to come into effect Tuesday. All three countries have slammed the levies. Canada has retaliated with its own sanctions on U.S. imports, with Mexico threatening to do the same. China said has it would file a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization. Asked on Sunday about the prospect of tariffs on goods from the U.K. and European Union (EU), Trump told the BBC that both were acting “out of line,” but that the EU was behaving worse, and that tariffs could be imposed on the bloc “pretty soon.” “They don’t take our cars, they don’t take our farm products, they take almost nothing, and we take everything from them. Millions of cars, tremendous amounts of food and farm products,” he commented as he arrived in Maryland. He said there was no timeline for imposing tariffs, but that they would come “pretty soon.” As for Britain, with whom the U.S. has a more nuanced trade relationship, the president said that he believed a deal could still be reached. “The .U.K. is out of line. But I’m sure that one, I think, that one can be worked out,” Trump said, adding that he was “getting along very well” with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Trade balances President Trump has long accused a number of America’s largest trading partners of exploiting the U.S., citing large and persistent trade deficits. Trump sees tariffs as a way to redress the balance, arguing that the policy will boost U.S. jobs and growth. Critics warn that levies will also hurt U.S. citizens, as costs are passed on to consumers. The EU is seen as next on Trump’s tariff list, given it is the largest bloc to entertain trade with the U.S. and has come under frequent criticism for its persistent trade surplus with the States. European Commission data show that the EU had a trade surplus of 155.8 billion euros ($159.6 billion) with the U.S. for goods in 2023, but ran a 104-billion-euros deficit on services. Machinery and vehicles make up the largest chunk of EU exports to the U.S. by product group, followed by chemicals, other manufactured goods and medicinal and pharmaceutical products. New cars of various brands are parked for export on the parking of a car terminal at the harbour of Duisburg, western Germany, on August 7, 2024. Ina Fassbender | Afp | Getty Images Trump on Sunday described the U.S.’ trade deficit with the EU as an “atrocity,” repeating his previous comments that the bloc had “really taken advantage” of its relationship with the U.S. Officials from the EU have previously suggested that the bloc could respond to U.S. tariffs “in a proportionate way,” with the European Commission on Sunday echoing that it would “respond firmly.” “Across-the-board tariff measures raise business costs, harm workers and consumers. Tariffs create unnecessary economic disruption and drive inflation. They are hurtful to all sides,” a Commission spokesperson said in a statement. “At this time, we are not aware of any additional tariffs being imposed on EU products. Our trade and investment relationship with the U.S. is the biggest in the world. There is a lot at stake. We should both be looking at strengthening this relationship,” the commission spokesperson added. Britain off the hook? President Donald Trump inspects an honour guard at Buckingham Palace, in London, Britain, June 3, 2019. Simon Dawson | Reuters The latest U.K. trade data shows that the U.K. had a trade surplus of £4.5 billion ($5.5 billion) with the U.S. in goods, in the four quarters ending in the second quarter of 2024. Economists have previously noted that the more balanced trade and “special relationship” between the two countries could allow Britain to escape relatively unscathed from a potential trade war. The Labour government has looked to fly under the radar of Trump’s tariff wrath, with Finance Minister Rachel Reeves telling CNBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos last month that the U.K. was “not part of the problem” of “persistent” trade deficits that Trump wants to tackle. On Monday, a British government spokesperson said, “We have a fair and balanced trading relationship which benefits both sides of the Atlantic,” in comments reported by Reuters. CNBC has requested further comment from the government and is awaiting a response. The tariff threat is bound to be at the center of discussions when Starmer joins EU leaders in Brussels on Monday to discuss the region’s defense strategy. It’s likely that the risk of a trade war will be high on the agenda as Britain and the EU look to deepen economic and political ties five years after the U.K. left the bloc. Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer speaks at a press conference, during his visit to the European Commission headquarters on October 2, 2024 in Brussels, Belgium. Pool | Getty Images News | Getty Images The prospect of tariffs comes at an already difficult time for the EU, as both the euro zone and the wider EU bloc are struggling economically. Data released last Thursday showed the euro zone’s economy flatlined in the fourth quarter, while the EU eked out 0.1% growth in the same *******, from the previous quarter. Strategists at Deutsche Bank said in a research note out Monday that any tariffs that Trump levied on the EU would deal a “serious blow” to the region’s economy, stressing “if the EU has to endure 10% tariffs, our economists’ analysis has previously suggested it would be worth 0.5-0.9% off GDP [gross domestic product] all other things being equal.” Europe will likely be hit with some headline grabbing measures, according to Holger Schmieding, chief economist at Berenberg Bank — but the bloc could look to do a deal with the transactional Trump. “By raising military spending and ramping up liquid natural gas imports from the U.S., the EU will be able to avoid an escalating trade-war spiral with the U.S. If so, the trade tensions will restrain but not prevent a gradual firming of European growth from spring onwards after hardly any growth during the winter,” Schmieding said in emailed comments Monday.

  19. Is It Too Much to Ask for a Helldivers x Space Marine 2 Collab? Is It Too Much to Ask for a Helldivers x Space Marine 2 Collab? Arrowhead Game Studios’ Helldivers 2 and Saber Interactive’s Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 have been close competitors for quite some time now, primarily due to their similar PvE co-op experiences. Fans of both the games often engage in debates online and the best solution to put an end to all these arguments is a Helldivers 2 and Space Marine 2 collaboration. It’s hard to say if the respective studios would agree to this crossover, but this fanmade promotional video will convince you why we need this collaboration. Like Space Marine 2, Helldivers 2 also features a similar third-person PvE experience (Image via Arrowhead Game Studios) Despite some major setbacks, Helldivers 2 has once again managed to become one of the most popular co-op games in the world but if it wishes to overtake Space Marine 2, Arrowhead must continue adding fresh content to the game. This collaboration would give Helldivers 2 a massive boost, so Arrowhead could consider this idea. This fanmade video proves that we need a Helldivers 2 x Space Marine 2 crossover A viral post on the r/helldivers2 subreddit put a spotlight on a fanmade video that showcases a crossover between Space Marine 2 and Helldivers 2. Originally posted by Rob Zombii Animations on Youtube, this animation was made in blender and it shows what fans of both games are missing out on. Super Earth’s brave soldiers fighting in Space Marine 2-like heavy armor is something that can only be achieved through mods. Arrowhead Game Studios must acknowledge the creator’s neat idea as a collaboration with Space Marine 2 could significantly boost the game’s popularity. The Helldivers 2 community absolutely loved the idea, in fact, they don’t even want new Mechs if Arrowhead gives them Space Marine 2-like heavy armor. Comment byu/HerrscherOfTheEnd from discussion inhelldivers2 Comment byu/HerrscherOfTheEnd from discussion inhelldivers2 Comment byu/HerrscherOfTheEnd from discussion inhelldivers2 Comment byu/HerrscherOfTheEnd from discussion inhelldivers2 In December, Arrowhead Game Studios worked with Guerrilla Games to give fans a Helldivers 2 x Killzone collaboration. Players loved the items in the collaboration, however, there was some criticism about its pricing. Arrowhead swiftly acknowledged players’ feedback and decided to give players some items for free. Will Helldivers 2 be able to overtake Space Marine 2? Space Marine 2 was released roughly seven months after the release of Helldivers 2 (Image via Saber Interactive) As compared to the Warhammer franchise, Helldivers is still a fairly new franchise to many players all over the world. So it’s hard to say if Helldivers 2 will ever be able to overtake Space Marine 2 in terms of popularity. Space Marine 2 also features a PvP mode, something that Arrowhead never plans to integrate into Helldivers 2. Despite stiff competition, Helldivers 2 had continued to maintain a steady active player count, but the journey wasn’t an easy one. The game was on the verge of dying as the player base started shrinking due to unnecessary nerfs and the PSN account linking policy. Arrowhead came up with a new plan and used players’ feedback to improve the game. Once again, it has managed to become one of the most popular games in the world, but if Arrowhead wants it to overtake Space Marine 2, then the studio must continue adding exciting, fresh content.

  20. Elon Musk says he and Trump are shutting down USAID Elon Musk says he and Trump are shutting down USAID Tech billionaire Elon Musk said Monday that he and President Donald Trump were in the process of shutting down the U.S. Agency for International Development, escalating their war on the federal bureaucracy and defying the constitutional power of Congress to determine how money is spent. Musk, the head of Trump’s government efficiency initiative, announced the shutdown in the middle of the night in an audio-only appearance on his social media site X. “We’re shutting it down,” he said. At another point, he said “we’re in the process” of “shutting down USAID.” Musk did not say what legal authority he believed the White House has to shut down a federal agency without congressional approval, or how quickly the administration planned to act. He said the idea had “the full support of the president” and that he had spoken with Trump on the matter several times. “With regard to the USAID stuff, I went over [it] with him in detail, and he agreed that we should shut it down,” he said. “I actually checked with him a few times [and] said, ‘Are you sure?'” he said. He said that Trump responded, “Yes.” The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Musk’s announcement early Monday morning. Trump on Sunday said that Musk “is doing a good job,” and criticized USAID as “run by a bunch of radical lunatics,” though Trump did not go so far as to say he planned to shut down the agency, with or without congressional agreement. Trump administration officials have discussed placing USAID under the authority of the State Department, according to more than a dozen current and former officials and sources familiar with the discussions, NBC News has reported, a move that Democratic lawmakers and legal experts have argued would violate a law adopted by Congress establishing the agency. Trump has said that he is freezing virtually all U.S. foreign assistance pending a 90-day review. Congress annually appropriates money for USAID to spend, primarily for foreign aid and internationally focused charities. Its budget for the 2023 fiscal year was about $40 billion, according to a report last month from the Congressional Research Service. That’s a tiny fraction of the overall federal discretionary spending of $1.7 trillion. President John F. Kennedy created USAID by executive order in 1961 after Congress passed a reorganization of foreign assistance. Musk’s announcement followed an unusual incident Saturday in which USAID’s director of security and his deputy were placed on administrative leave after they tried to prevent employees from Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency from accessing secure USAID systems, five sources told NBC News. The DOGE employees threatened to call the U.S. Marshals, two of the sources said. The DOGE employees were eventually able to gain access to the secure systems, three of the sources said, but it was not clear what information they were able to obtain. It was already clear last week that the Trump administration and Musk’s staff planned a radical shakeup of USAID, one of several agencies where fear and chaos are sweeping over the federal workforce. More than 50 career civil servants at USAID were placed on administrative leave last Monday. USAID has in the past had a partnership with one of Musk’s companies, SpaceX. The agency announced in 2022 that it had partnered with SpaceX to provide 5,000 Starlink satellite internet terminals to the government of Ukraine following Russia’s invasion. On Monday, though, Musk called USAID “beyond repair” and “hopeless.” He also said the agency was “not an apple with a worm in it, but we have actually just a ball of worms.” In a post on X, Musk added that he had “spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. Could gone to some great parties. Did that instead.” Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, a longtime critic of federal spending, joined Musk on the call and said she agreed with his assessment. It’s not clear, though, how widespread that view is, even in the Republican-controlled Congress. A 1974 federal law known as the Impoundment Control Act says that the president generally cannot withhold funds that Congress has approved. Some Trump aides argue that the law is unconstitutional, foreshadowing a potential fight in the courts. The hourlong event on X, shortly after midnight ET Monday, was the first time Musk had spoken publicly since he and a group of aides began overhauls of federal agencies last week. Musk said he plans sweeping additional changes, including “wholesale removal of regulations.” “Regulations basically should be default gone. Default gone, not default there, default gone,” he said, although he did not make clear if he was speaking for himself or for others in the administration. Musk also said time was of the essence for Trump to act. “This is our shot. This is the best hand of cards we’re ever going to have,” he said. “Now or never.” Source link #Elon #Musk #Trump #shutting #USAID Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]
