Republicans projected to retain US House majority Republicans projected to retain US House majority President-elect Donald Trump’s *********** Party will control both houses of Congress when he takes office in January, Decision Desk HQ projects, enabling him to push an agenda of slashing taxes and shrinking the federal government. Republicans had already secured a US Senate majority of at least 52-46, Edison Research projected, and DDHQ projected they would hold at least 218 seats in the House of Representatives, with eight races yet to be called in Tuesday’s election. During his first presidential term in 2017-21, Trump’s biggest achievement was sweeping tax cuts that are due to expire in 2025. That legislation and Democratic President Joe Biden’s signature $US1 ($A1.5) trillion infrastructure law both came during periods when their parties controlled both chambers of Congress. By contrast, during the past two years of divided government, Biden has had little success in passing legislation and Congress has struggled to perform its most basic function of providing the money needed to keep the government open. The thin *********** House majority has been fractious, tossing out its first Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, and routinely bucking his successor Speaker Mike Johnson. Trump’s grip on the party and particularly its raucous hardliners has been far firmer – as evidenced by his success earlier in 2024 ******** a bipartisan deal that would have sharply stepped up border security. His power will also be backed by a Supreme Court with a 6-3 ************* majority that includes three justices he appointed. More immediately, the Republicans’ victory is certain to influence the House’s post-election “lame duck” session. The current Congress faces end-of-year deadlines for funding the government to avoid shutdowns at Christmas and extending Washington’s borrowing authority to avoid an historic debt default. One possible scenario is passing temporary patches to give the incoming Trump administration a say on these two controversial items when it assumes power from the Biden administration on January 20. The new Congress convenes on January 3. Source link #Republicans #projected #retain #House #majority Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

CFMEU members march through Sydney to protest forced administration CFMEU members march through Sydney to protest forced administration Hundreds of CFMEU workers have marched in an unauthorised rally to protest the forced administration of the controversial union. The renegade workers marched in Sydney from Belmore Park to Parliament House with signs reading “our right to innocence until proven guilty is under threat”. The federal government pushed the powerful construction division of the CFMEU into administration following allegations of ********* infiltration in the division, sparking furious rallies across the country. NewsWire understands Tuesday’s march was unauthorised, with CFMEU leadership warning its members “not to attend” the rally in a Facebook post from the weekend.

New arrests over ********* after Ajax-Maccabi match New arrests over ********* after Ajax-Maccabi match Dutch police have made five more arrests over the ********* which followed a match involving an ******** football team in Amsterdam on Thursday night. The five men, all from the Netherlands and aged between 18 and 37, are suspected of “public ********* against persons” before and after the Maccabi Tel Aviv match against local team Ajax. Prime Minister ***** Schoof said earlier on Monday that “antisemitic attacks against Israelis and Jews” were “nothing short of shocking and reprehensible”. Unrest flared up again in the city on Monday evening when an empty tram was attacked. Some rioters reportedly shouted “Free Palestine”, according to local media. On Thursday night, youths on scooters ******-crossed the Dutch capital in “hit-and-run” attacks on Maccabi supporters who were visiting for the Europa League match, authorities said. Five people were treated in hospital and others suffered minor injuries. The five new arrests come on top of 63 announced by the authorities since the *********. One of the five was released from custody but ******** a suspect. Police also made several arrests after the new unrest in the city on Monday. No injuries were reported. Dozens of youths dressed in ****** damaged cars in a western suburb, where the tram was attacked on ’40-’45 Square. Videos posted on social media show a tram being attacked with fireworks and its windows being shattered. A ***** on the tram was quickly extinguished and riot officers cleared the square, making arrests, ******* broadcaster DW reports. Schoof promised that the Netherlands would focus on bringing perpetrators of Thursday’s ********* to justice. “The images and reports for Amsterdam and what we’ve seen this weekend of antisemitic attacks against Israelis and Jews are nothing short of shocking and reprehensible,” he told journalists. He also commented on reports that Maccabi supporters had attacked a taxi and burnt a ************ flag in Amsterdam, as well as chanting anti-***** slogans. “We are well aware of what happened earlier with Maccabi supporters but we think that’s of a different category and we condemn any ********* as well, but that is no excuse whatsoever for what happened later on that night in the attacks on Jews in Amsterdam,” he said. Pro-************ protests planned in recent days had been banned, angering activists. Some have argued that they should be free to voice their disapproval of *******’s actions in Gaza and the actions of the Maccabi supporters. Police chief Peter Holla has said there had been incidents “on both sides” during Thursday’s clashes. The ********* was condemned by leaders across Europe, the US and *******. For many, it was especially shocking coming on the eve of commemorations marking Kristallnacht, the 1938 ***** pogroms against ******* Jews. Three-quarters of ******* people in the Netherlands were murdered during the Holocaust in World War Two. Reports of antisemitic incidents in Europe have risen since the start of the war in Gaza just over a year ago.

Top tech fund manager at T. Rowe Price gives best postelection picks Top tech fund manager at T. Rowe Price gives best postelection picks A top technology fund manager is laying out his favorite names in the sector going forward. “It’s an exciting time where we’re seeing productivity really get enhanced, and perhaps this being a really big industrial economic productivity increaser,” Tony Wang, portfolio manager of T. Rowe Price’s science and technology equity strategy, told CNBC’s ” Squawk Box ” on Monday. For nearly two years since the debut of ChatGPT, companies have poured money into semiconductor and infrastructure names underpinning the buildout of artificial intelligence tools. Now, Wang believes the tide is shifting in favor of software companies and app developers launching and integrating AI products. APP YTD mountain Applovin shares this year Along with Nvidia, Wang views Marvell Technology as a key long-term AI play with a “strong future” given its custom chip products with hyperscalers such as Amazon . He also highlighted the company’s CEO as a strong “capital allocator.” While the ” Magnificent Seven ” stocks should continue to lead given their data access; large customer base; and capital to train, build and deploy AI models, Wang anticipates a new crop of beneficiaries emerging. This includes Palantir and Applovin . Wang highlighted Applovin’s digital advertising moat and strong ********** among the reasons he favors the stock. Applovin surged 77%, scoring its best week on record, following a strong earnings report .

Roosters in Hunt for a half, as Ben considers options Roosters in Hunt for a half, as Ben considers options Trent Robinson has given the strongest indication yet that the Sydney Roosters could pursue Ben Hunt, revealing the club is open to signing another spine player. Hunt has ramped up his search for a new home this week, after being officially released by St George Illawarra during the Pacific Championships. The halfback is expected to attract the interest of up to five clubs, as he weighs up staying in Sydney or a potential return home to Queensland. If he does remain in Sydney, the Roosters are likely to lead the list of contenders. The Tri-colours already have ample salary-cap space for next season, after losing a combined 1279 games in experience at the end of 2024. They are also set to start the season without halfback Sam Walker and ******* Brandon Smith, with the pair not due back from ACL ruptures until about May. Hunt has played in both of those positions previously, and could also aid the Roosters in their transition to life after Luke Keary in the halves. Asked directly whether Hunt was someone the Roosters were looking at, Robinson said there were “a couple of players” in the club’s sights. “(The injuries) didn’t only affect the back end of this year, but it also affects the start of next year as well,” Robinson said at the Roosters’ announcement of electric-car manufacturer BYD as a new major sponsor. “We’re really comfortable with some of the young guys coming through, but we are also looking at covering those positions if it’s right. “We don’t feel like we’re in a rush, but if it’s right then we’ll look at options.” Robinson had said in May that the Roosters would prefer an experienced half to continue guiding the newly resigned Walker in the short term. That same principle would also likely apply to Sandon Smith, who will start 2025 in the halves and is viewed as Walker’s long-term partner. The Tri-colours have since signed Chad Townsend, but it’s likely Hunt’s experience would still be appealing given his status as a State of Origin and Test representative. The move would also fit Hunt’s criteria of wanting to go to a club where he can win his first premiership. “He (Hunt) is an exceptional player and has done it for a long time,” Robinson said. “People want a direct answer, but the thing is we’ve been clear about our squad for a while now. “Ever since Luke (Keary) made his decision (to leave the NRL for the Super League), we were really clear and happy with where we were heading over the next couple of years. “But if the opportunity arises to accommodate that No.7 and No.9 positions in different ways, then we will. “But it has to be right for the next couple of years as well.” Beyond the Roosters, Hunt has previously admitted he sees a romanticism in returning to the Broncos. But that could present salary-cap challenges, with continued uncertainty around Ezra Mam. The Dolphins have indicated their interest, while Gold Coast and Canterbury are considered the less likely options.

Democrat George Whitesides ousts GOP Rep. Mike Garcia from Los Angeles House seat Democrat George Whitesides ousts GOP Rep. Mike Garcia from Los Angeles House seat George Whitesides has defeated three-term GOP Rep. Mike Garcia, flipping a long-coveted Los Angeles area House seat to the Democrats’ column. Garcia — who conceded the race Monday — was a top target for multiple cycles, given the Democrats’ 10-point registration advantage in the district and his ************* votes in the House. But he had proven surprisingly durable in the blue-leaning seat, leaning on his fighter-jet pilot past to appeal to voters in a district dominated by aerospace. This time, Democrats were able to successfully use Garcia’s record against him, particularly as they hammered him on his past support for a national ********* ban. The party also fielded a stronger challenger to take on Garcia. Whitesides, the former CEO of ******* Galactic, delivered his own aerospace bona fides and a strong fundraising performance. He was aided by millions of dollars in spending from Democratic outside groups, a stark contrast from 2022 when they pulled out of the pricey Los Angeles media market in the closing weeks of the campaign.

What Trump’s election victory means for global investors What Trump’s election victory means for global investors President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House has sent ripples through global financial markets, with many investors looking to recalibrate their portfolios for a dramatically different policy landscape ahead. The *********** sweep of the presidency and, potentially, both houses of Congress has triggered what analysts call the return of “Trump trades” — but with key differences to 2016 that could reshape the investment outlook. The immediate market reaction has been positive for U.S. assets , with small-cap stocks and sectors like banking and technology seeing solid gains. The Russell 2000 small-cap U.S. stock market index is up over 8% since election day, while the Nasdaq Composite is up around 6% and banks and financial institutions have rallied by more than 10%. Will the stock moves last? “The question down the line will be over the sustainability of the move, and that in turn will depend on bond yields’ behavior,” said Mislav Matejka, JPMorgan’s head of global and ********* equity strategy, in a research note. Unlike in 2016, when 10-year Treasury yields were generally around 2%, they now sit above 4%. This makes further rises in bond yields more challenging for equity markets to digest. Higher Treasury yields mean higher interest rates for corporate borrowers. Investors may also pull money from stocks to seek higher returns in Treasurys relative to the risk, which could push stock prices down. Trump’s tariffs Perhaps the biggest concern for investors globally is Trump’s campaign promise of aggressive new tariffs , including the potential for a universal 10% tariff on all imports and a 60% tariff on ******** goods. Economists at Nomura, one of Japan’s largest investment banks, expect these policies to be a key focus early in Trump’s second term, warning that “tariffs are likely to be inflationary and negative for growth” in the U.S. As a result, the bank’s chief economist, David Seif, has forecast just one U.S. rate cut by the Federal Reserve next year — the consequence of which is likely to be felt globally. Impact on Asia Capital Economics expects most ****** currencies to weaken by up to 5% against the dollar over the coming year, not least because of the expected higher interest environment in the U.S. High interest rates typically attract fund flows into the ******* States, depriving emerging market economies of cheaper borrowing and the growth that follows. The impact of this can be seen in the Indian rupee , which fell to all-time lows against the U.S. dollar following the U.S. election. Korea, Taiwan and some other countries are also at high risk of being impacted by changes in U.S. trade policy, according to Goldman Sachs, given the amount they export into the country. However, some ****** nations might benefit if higher tariffs on China prompt manufacturers to relocate. “Vietnam, with its low labor costs and strategic geographical location, has so far been the biggest beneficiary of worsening U.S.-China relations,” said Gareth Leather, senior Asia economist at Capital Economics, in a note. In the past, India has also benefited from tariffs and risks associated with the U.S.-China trade relationship. “Potential tariff or non-tariff barriers on ******** imports in the U.S. and India’s domestic manufacturing thrust with Make in India, could be positive for Indian [electronics manufacturing services] companies in areas like PCBs [electric circuits], semiconductors, mobile phones, cables and wires, among others,” said Macquarie Capital’s head of India research Aditya Suresh, citing cable and wire maker Polycab as an example of a stock that stands to benefit in this scenario. Europe Most analysts agree that U.S. trade tariffs are likely to hurt Europe, with some companies able to navigate the challenges better than others. “The ********* Union is highly exposed to U.S. tariffs because it is trade intensive, and the U.S. is the largest destination for EU exports,” Morningstar analysts said in a note to clients on Nov. 5. ********* automakers and pharmaceutical companies appear especially vulnerable. However, the impact varies by company depending on their U.S. manufacturing presence and the proportion of their global revenues derived from the U.S. “For companies with local production, the impact should be neutral to positive, while larger non-U.S. manufacturers will have to adapt or face margin headwinds if higher prices cannot be implemented,” said Swiss investment bank Vontobel’s senior equity analyst Mark Diethelm. In a note to clients, Diethelm suggested that Swiss building materials firm Holcim is likely to see a “positive impact” from the tariffs as many of its products are manufactured in the U.S. Others, such as electronics maker Logitech , could see a negative impact as it has a significant China-based manufacturing base. More broadly, investors should bear in mind that companies are likely to begin factoring in the impact of tariffs and move ahead of actual policy, according to Barclays. “Tariffs concern may continue to weigh on Europe this time around, but we note that any actual decision on tariffs is likely to require the new government and cabinet secretaries to be sworn in, which could be a process taking up to [six months], so this may not be an immediate risk,” said the bank’s chief ********* strategist Emmanuel Cau in a note to clients on Nov. 6. — CNBC’s Michael Bloom contributed reporting.

New Zealand PM says sorry for ‘horrific’ care home ****** New Zealand PM says sorry for ‘horrific’ care home ****** New Zealand’s Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has formally apologised to victims of ****** in care homes, following an inquiry into one of the country’s biggest ****** scandals. The historic apology, delivered in parliament, comes after a report found that 200,000 children and vulnerable adults had suffered ****** while in state and ******-based care between 1950 and 2019. Many of them included people from the Māori and Pacific communities and those with mental or physical disabilities. The government has since promised to reform the care system. “I make this apology to all survivors on behalf of my own and previous governments,” said Luxon on Tuesday. “It was horrific. It was heartbreaking. It was wrong. And it should never have happened,” he added. “For many of you it changed the course of your life, and for that, the government must take responsibility.” The inquiry, which Luxon described as the largest and most complex public inquiry ever held in New Zealand, took six years to complete and included interviews with thousands of survivors of ****** in state and ******-based care institutions. The ensuing report documented a wide range of abuses including ***** and sterilisation, and forced labour. It found that ******-based institutions often had higher rates of ******* ****** than state care; and civil and ****** leaders fought to cover up ****** by moving abusers to other locations and denying culpability, with many victims dying before seeing justice. The findings were seen as vindication for those who found themselves facing down powerful officialdom, the state, and religious institutions – and often struggling to be believed. The inquiry made over 100 recommendations, including public apologies from New Zealand authorities and religious leaders, as well as legislation mandating suspected ****** to be reported. Luxon said the government has either completed or is in the process of working on 28 of these recommendations, and will provide a full response next year. He also announced a National Remembrance Day to be held on 12 November next year to mark the anniversary of Tuesday’s apology. “It is on all of us to do all we can to ensure that ****** that should never have been accepted, no longer occurs,” he said.

The Washington Post has an AI newsboy to answer all your questions The Washington Post has an AI newsboy to answer all your questions The Washington Post has unveiled a new AI chatbot called “Ask The Post AI,” which aims to answer user questions accurately by relying on the newspaper’s content. The new AI chatbot follows the Climate Answers chatbot, which the publication released earlier this year. Unlike the climate journalism-focused Climate Answers, Ask the Post culls its answers from anything published since 2016. The AI uses algorithmic ranking to match answers to questions and ensure they are relevant. Like Climate Answers, the new AI chatbot enforces strict guardrails on how it responds. If there aren’t any articles it defines as worth citing, it won’t answer the question at all. That way, it avoids any compulsion by the AI to hallucinate or provide wrong answers. The AI will just say it can’t answer at all. Interactive AI Journalism “This is the next chapter in building habits for our next generation of users,” Washington Post chief technology officer Vineet Khosla explained in a blog post. “The changed search experience across the industry calls for us to meet the moment and meet audiences how, when and where they want to be served with an updated user experience.” “Ask The Post AI” arrives as The Washington Post has seen an uptick in interest from readers on its post-2016 coverage. The heightened reader engagement combined with new AI tools might serve to draw in and keep new readers as well. Along with Climate Answers, The Washington Post has been testing several other AI tools, including AI-generated audio recordings of news articles and AI-written summaries of articles. There’s an obvious appeal for streamlined information access that supplies reliable answers without long research in the archives. Similar tools will likely crop up at the intersection of AI and news media elsewhere. For instance, Meta and Reuters have partnered to supply Meta AI with information from Reuters articles.

But on Thursday, the sounds were much louder than usual, prompting the family of the 93-year-old woman to phone the police, he said. The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a call at the 3600 block of Locke Avenue around 10:30 p.m. Thursday and discovered the man underneath the house, according to an LAPD spokesperson. The man refused to emerge from his underground dwelling, and officers called in a SWAT team to assist with the arrest, the spokesperson said. An hours-long standoff ensued before the man was taken into custody on suspicion of trespassing, he said. Police remained on scene until 5 a.m., he said. “He refused to leave,” Silva told NBC News. “He wasn’t scared of the [police] dogs, and the first two attempts at [tear] gas didn’t fish him out.” Police identified the suspect as 27-year-old Isaac Betancourt, according to NBC News, which reported that he was without clothes when he was found. Betancourt was arrested by the LAPD at 4:25 a.m. Friday and booked on a misdemeanor charge, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. He was released Saturday afternoon and scheduled to be arraigned Dec. 6. Betancourt was previously arrested in July 2022, August and October of 2023 and this year in March and August, according to the LASD Inmate Information Center.

Democrat George Whitesides ousts GOP Rep. Mike Garcia from Los Angeles House seat Democrat George Whitesides ousts GOP Rep. Mike Garcia from Los Angeles House seat George Whitesides has defeated three-term GOP Rep. Mike Garcia, flipping a long-coveted Los Angeles area House seat to the Democrats’ column. Garcia — who conceded the race Monday — was a top target for multiple cycles, given the Democrats’ 10-point registration advantage in the district and his ************* votes in the House. But he had proven surprisingly durable in the blue-leaning seat, leaning on his fighter-jet pilot past to appeal to voters in a district dominated by aerospace. This time, Democrats were able to successfully use Garcia’s record against him, particularly as they hammered him on his past support for a national ********* ban. The party also fielded a stronger challenger to take on Garcia. Whitesides, the former CEO of ******* Galactic, delivered his own aerospace bona fides and a strong fundraising performance. He was aided by millions of dollars in spending from Democratic outside groups, a stark contrast from 2022 when they pulled out of the pricey Los Angeles media market in the closing weeks of the campaign.

Ecosia, Qwant partner on search engine tech to counter Google’s power Ecosia, Qwant partner on search engine tech to counter Google’s power A Google logo displays on a smartphone screen and the ********* flag on a computer screen. Nikolas Kokovlis | Nurphoto | Getty Images LISBON, Portugal — Ecosia and Qwant, two search engines competing with Google, announced a partnership Tuesday to build a ********* search index and reduce their dependence on U.S. Big Tech firms. The two internet search firms agreed a ****** venture, called the ********* Search Perspective or EUSP, with ownership split 50-50 between both firms. With a view to launch in France in early 2025, the venture aims to serve “improved” French and ******* language search results. Ecosia is based in Berlin, while Qwant is headquartered in Paris. Qwant is a privacy-focused search engine that promises not to track users or resell their personal data. Ecosia’s search engine focuses on sustainability, pledging to plant one tree for every 50 searches on its platform. Search infrastructure is what powers our access to the web, but it’s currently primarily controlled by Google, the dominant search engine with a more than 90% share of the global market. Even alternative search engines, such as Ecosia and Qwant, have to rely on existing tech from companies like Microsoft to deliver search results. ********** Kroll, CEO of Ecosia, told CNBC the project had been made possible, in part, by new tech-focused competition rules in the ********* Union. The Digital Markets Act, which came into force earlier this year, requires Big Tech firms it calls “gatekeepers” to offer fair and reasonable access to their platforms. In Google’s case, the company is required under the DMA to share data that would be useful for training a search model. Why build a ********* search index? Currently, alternative search engines like Ecosia, Qwant and DuckDuckGo don’t develop their own back-end infrastructure. The new venture will see them build their own search index from scratch, however, amassing results from a mix of different search engines. Ecosia last year switched to a mix of Google and Bing search results. Ecosia and Qwant say their new search index will be “privacy-first,” using technologies from Qwant that were redesigned in 2023. Both companies will use the search index themselves but the tech will also be made available to other independent search engines and tech firms. The launch comes as alternative search providers like Ecosia and Qwant are being forced to grapple with higher prices from Microsoft to access its Bing Search API (application programming interface), a piece of software that lets developers access the tech giant’s backend search infrastructure. “We are ********* companies and we need to build technology that makes sure no third-party decision — for instance, Microsoft’s decision to increase costs to access their search API — could jeopardize our business,” Olivier Abecassis, CEO of Qwant, told CNBC. “It is nothing against the U.S. or U.S. companies. It is all about the sovereignty of our business and companies,” he added. Abecassis will also serve as CEO of the new venture, which hasn’t yet raised funding from external investors. Europeans are “very dependent on the ******* States for our technology,” Kroll said in an interview last week ahead of the launch. The election of Donald Trump as U.S. president could escalate geopolitical tensions, he added — and this could be a problem for Europe’s reliance on U.S. technology. He pointed to the disruption to ********* energy supplies after Russia cut off gas to Europe following its invasion of Ukraine, saying this should serve as a warning for what can happen when an entire continent becomes too dependent on a single country for a key resource. AI ‘paradigm shift’ in search Part of Ecosia and Qwant’s push to build a search engine from scratch will be to offer a “transparent and secure data pool” for new AI technologies, according to the companies. Search providers may get “more restrictive” in future, given the shift toward generative AI, Ecosia’s Kroll told CNBC. “They know they’re sitting on a very important resource for this paradigm shift,” he said. “Yes, you need large language models to have good chatbots. But you also need access to a good index.” The rise of OpenAI’s ChatGPT has put pressure on incumbent search giant Google, as people increasingly turn to the viral chatbot to search for information. Meanwhile, a slew of new search engines, such as Perplexity, have also entered the market, offering their own generative-AI-based alternatives to Google. Google has fought back with its own generative AI search product, integrating its Gemini large language model into search results.

3 new Xbox Game Pass games to play this weekend (November 8-10) 3 new Xbox Game Pass games to play this weekend (November 8-10) This is a good week for strategy game fans subscribed to Xbox Game Pass because November’s first new additions to the service all fall within that genre. Two of them are real-time strategy game classics from Blizzard Entertainment, and the other is a strategic take on an arcade classic. If you’re playing on a console, these additions may not mean as much to you, but for Game Pass subscribers with access to a PC, these recently added strategy game games are well worth your time. StarCraft: Remastered StarCraft Remastered Announcement The original StarCraft is a monumental release for Blizzard Entertainment. It gave the studio a third pillar franchise alongside Warcraft and Diablo, was one of the first major esports games, and set a standard that most RTS games after it have tried to follow. In 2017, Blizzard released StarCraft: Remastered, updating the classics’ visuals, audio, and online features; that’s the version of StarCraft that has come to Xbox Game Pass. While there are more approachable RTS games nowadays, PC gamers should check out the original StarCraft if they’ve never played it before to better understand the foundational building blocks of the RTS genre. StarCraft: Remastered is available on PC with a PC Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate subscription. Metal Slug Tactics Metal Slug Tactics – Release Date Trailer Metal Slug is one of SNK’s classic arcade series and is known for its bombastic run-and-**** action. Metal Slug Tactics transforms this concept from an action-platformer to a turn-based strategy game, which works surprisingly well. While most grid-based strategy games have players navigating units between cover or staying in the same, advantageous place, Metal Slug Tactics encourages players to keep moving their units around to set up synchronous attacks or accrue the resources needed for more powerful abilities. It’s a clever reimagining of an arcade classic and a no-brainer for strategy game fans with Xbox Game Pass subscribers to download. The PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S versions of Metal Slug Tactics are now available with a Game Pass Ultimate subscription. It’s also on PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch. StarCraft II: Campaign Collection StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void Opening Cinematic StarCraft II is the greatest RTS game of all time. It nailed the fundamentals and proper game feel of what makes RTS games work so well, and it has a high skill ceiling for competitive play. Although its multiplayer mode is free, its campaigns and co-op modes released throughout the years are equally compelling. StarCraft II: Campaign Collection is now on Xbox Game Pass, and with it, you can check out all of the content from Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm, Legacy of the Void, and Nova Covert Ops. Needless to say, this is an amazing get for PC Game Pass subscribers. StarCraft II: Campaign Collection is available on PC with a Game Pass subscription.

Trump expected to choose Sen. Marco Rubio for secretary of state Trump expected to choose Sen. Marco Rubio for secretary of state Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) speaks on Day 2 of the *********** National Convention (RNC), at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U.S., July 16, 2024. Mike Segar | Reuters President-elect Donald Trump is expected to name Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida as secretary of state for his administration in the coming days, according to three sources familiar with the selection process. Trump could still change his mind, the sources cautioned, noting that the decision wouldn’t be finalized until the president-elect makes a formal announcement. The New York Times first reported Trump’s plans to name Rubio as the nation’s top diplomat. Trump had previously considered Rubio as a running mate before ultimately choosing Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio. Trump has made a series of other staffing announcements in recent days. On Monday, he announced plans to nominate former Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., as the Environmental Protection Agency’s top administrator and to appoint Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., as his national security adviser. Last week, he said Susie Wiles, his campaign manager, would be White House chief of staff. On Sunday, he named immigration hard-liner Tom Homan as his “border czar.” Source link #Trump #expected #choose #Sen #Marco #Rubio #secretary #state Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

3 new PS Plus games to play this weekend (November 8-10) 3 new PS Plus games to play this weekend (November 8-10) Earlier this week, November’s batch of three new PlayStation Plus Essential titles dropped. Between now and December 2, PS Plus subscribers of all tiers can redeem these games for free. It’s a good batch of titles, too. We not only have a brand new ****** Note game launching onto the service, but also an enjoyable all-ages racing game and an exhilarating horror action title. If you’re a PS Plus subscriber wondering what to play this weekend, any of these Essential monthly games can offer up a good time. Ghostwire: Tokyo Ghostwire: Tokyo – February 2022 Official Showcase | PS5 Ghostwire: Tokyo is the highest-profile PS Plus Essential game of the month. Tango Gameworks released this as a PS5 exclusive shortly after Microsoft acquired it. In the two-and-a-half years since its release, Tango brought Ghostwire: Tokyo to Xbox, released Hi-Fi Rush, got shut down by Microsoft, and was then revived by Krafton. That makes it fascinating to revisit Ghostwire: Tokyo now and see the last horror-infused swing the studio took before all of those wild things happened to it. Ghostwire: Tokyo is an entertaining supernatural action game where players ****** ********* demons with magic, and it’s a worthy download for any PS Plus subscriber. Ghostwire: Tokyo is available as a PS Plus Essential game on PS5 until December 2. It’s also available on PC and Xbox Series X/S as part of Xbox Game Pass. ****** Note ******* Within ****** Note always seemed like a tough anime and manga to adapt to video game form to me, but Grounding Inc. and Bandai Namco Entertainment have now done so in the form of an Among Us clone. ****** Note ******* Within is a social deduction game where some players work for L while others work for Kira. Players have to go around completing tasks and investigating other players before voting to decide who Kira is. It’s a little wonkier to play than something like Among Us, but it is still a fascinating way to adapt ****** Note into video game form. Fans of ****** Note should check it out, especially if they have a group of nine others to play with. ****** Note ******* Within is available exclusively on PS4 and PS5 as a PS Plus Essential game. After December 2, it will be available for purchase. Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED 2 – TURBOCHARGED – ANNOUNCEMENT TRAILER You might not expect much from a licensed Hot Wheels video game, but Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged is actually quite good. It features a wide variety of Hot Wheels vehicles to choose from, a sizeable single-player mode, and some entertaining arcade racer physics. It’s the kind of game that makes you feel like a child again as you play it and race a monster truck through a dinosaur museum track. If you’re a PS Plus subscriber with kids or just want a *****-back, casual racing game to ***** some time with, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged is worth redeeming. The PS4 and PS5 versions of Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged will be PS Plus Essential monthly titles until December 2. It’s also available on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.

NHS offers ‘improved’ stop-smoking pill varenicline NHS offers ‘improved’ stop-smoking pill varenicline The NHS will start offering an “improved” stop smoking pill to tens of thousands of people in England who want to quit cigarettes. Varenicline, a daily tablet given over a few months, is as effective as vapes and more effective than nicotine replacement gum or patches, NHS England says. The *****, which fights cravings, was available a few years ago on the NHS under the brand name Champix but was withdrawn due to some impurities. The new version has been approved as safe. E-cigarettes, meanwhile, will “sometimes” be offered, often as a starter kit of about two weeks’ worth of vapes by local NHS stop smoking services, officials said. Varenicline is a prescription only medicine, which means people cannot buy it over the counter at a pharmacy or supermarket and will instead need to see their GP or an NHS stop smoking service to get it. It works by reducing cravings for nicotine and blocking its effect on the brain, while also helping with withdrawal symptoms, such as feeling irritable or having difficulty sleeping. When used alongside behavioural support, such as counselling, it has been shown to help around one in four people to stop smoking for at least six months, said NHS England. That could help more than 85,000 people stop smoking each year, it said, and might prevent around 9,500 smoking-related deaths over the next five years, according to research by University College London. Around one in eight adults – six million people in the *** – are smokers. There were more than 400,000 hospital admissions in England linked to smoking last year. Each year the NHS spends around £2.5bn on treating health issues caused by smoking – it is the leading cause of preventable illness and deaths. Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting said: “The rollout of this pill can save the NHS millions of pounds, save appointments to help other patients be seen faster and save lives.” Since e-cigarettes are not licensed as medicines, GPs are unable to prescribe vapes to people trying to quit smoking unless there is a locally agreed NHS scheme to do so. Some local authorities do offer vapes to smokers who are looking to quit. Guidelines recommend people try a licensed stop smoking medicine first, though vapes are a recognised smoking cessation aid. Vaping is nowhere near as harmful as smoking cigarettes. However, it is not entirely risk free and health experts agree people should not start vaping other than to give up smoking. Hazel Cheeseman, chief executive of Action on Smoking and Health, said access to services was variable. She said: “Wherever a smoker lives, they should be able to access the most effective forms of treatment to help them stop. “Improving access to varenicline will be a positive step forward to help prevent the tens of thousands of deaths caused by smoking. However, a ***** alone will not transform smoking rates. Services are needed to support smokers and prescribe these products. “The NHS has done a good job in setting up in-hospital support to help people quit smoking, which complements the services provided in the community. “But gaps remain around the country, with services often in peril as local NHS organisations try to balance the books.” Prof Nick Hopkinson, professor of respiratory medicine at Imperial College London, said varenicline was the “most effective smoking cessation medication”. The fact it has not been available for the last few years has been a “real problem”, he said, adding: “We know that quitting smoking is the best thing anyone who smokes can do to improve their health and the health of people around them, especially children and young people. “People are most likely to quit successfully if they have a combination of counselling support and medication to relieve cravings and help break their tobacco dependence.” He said people could access help online at NHS Smokefree and should ask their healthcare provider about varenicline, “especially if they have not managed to quit successfully using other medications like nicotine patches or gum in the past”.
