To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today. AI Frenzy Shifts Please click here for an enlarged chart comparing VanEck Semiconductor ETF SMH and iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF IGV . Note the following: The Arora Report previously shared with readers that the next stage of AI would benefit software stocks. This is beginning to happen now. The chart shows software ETF IGV has moved up since the presidential election. The chart shows that IGV has outperformed semiconductor ETF SMH by about 10% since the election. The Arora Report algorithms show money is flowing out of semiconductors and into software. AI allows work processes to be totally reimagined compared to work processes of today. Work processes of today are implemented with legacy software. In The Arora Report analysis, it is an order of magnitude more efficient to use reimagined processes with AI native software. In The Arora Report analysis, there is a battle brewing among software companies for market share when it comes to AI capabilities. Legacy software companies have existing customers and cash to invest in AI. Legacy software companies are bolting on AI offerings. AI native software companies have an edge technologically. However, they do not have an existing market share. Promising AI native software companies are privately held. The foregoing tells us that AI will end up decimating some software companies while others will go to new heights. Investors need to look forward. Right now, most investors who are investing in software companies are looking backwards. Looking forward to 2030, the best way to capture AI opportunities in software companies is to combine the following three: Profiting from a base position in a software ETF. The Arora Report's software ETF of choice is IGV. As full disclosure, IGV is in The Arora Report's ZYX Allocation Model Portfolio. Profiting from individual software company stocks that are evolving and keeping pace with AI developments and retaining and attracting customers. An example is PLTR and as full disclosure, PLTR was recently added to The Arora Report’s ZYX Buy Core Model Portfolio. Profiting from shorting software companies whose business models are being hurt by AI. A judicious combination of the foregoing will produce significantly higher risk adjusted returns, compared to using only one of the three in your investments. In the early trade, the momo crowd is aggressively buying junk stocks. China Chinese stocks are ultra cheap. The rally in Chinese stock has stalled after Trump's re-election. Trump wants to impose 60% tariffs on Chinese goods. In the face of Trump's threat, China's 10 year note auction saw strong demand. The pricing was close to the record low yield. This data point indicates that investors believe China will manage just fine with Trump's tariffs. In The Arora Report analysis, it is important to keep track of such data points. If there are more such data points, it will be time to step into Chinese stocks because they are so cheap. Magnificent Seven Money Flows In the early trade, money flows are positive in Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN and Tesla Inc TSLA . In the early trade, money flows are neutral in Apple Inc AAPL , Meta Platforms Inc META , and Microsoft Corp MSFT . In the early trade, money flows are negative in Alphabet Inc Class C GOOG and NVIDIA Corp NVDA . In the early trade, money flows are negative in SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust SPY and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 QQQ . Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ. Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil. The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust GLD . The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust SLV . The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF USO . Bitcoin Bitcoin BTC/USD is approaching $100K. SEC Chair Gensler has said that he will resign on Trump's inauguration day. Gensler has been anti-bitcoin. Even though Gensler's resignation was expected, as Trump has said he would replace Gensler, buying came into bitcoin on the news. Protection Band And What To Do Now It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror. The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular. The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors. Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time. You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges. The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive. If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges. A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash. A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling. It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash. When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks. High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market. Traditional 60/40 Portfolio Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time. Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less. Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time. The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.

Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders escapes ejection for shoving referee in loss to Kansas

After a far-right pro-Russia candidate secured a surprise lead in Romania's presidential election Monday, the eastern European NATO member is bracing for a high-stakes parliamentary vote on Sunday, amid fears it could bring about a strategic shift in the country. Calin Georgescu was in pole position with almost 23 percent after the first round of voting, a political earthquake in the country of 19 million people that has so far resisted nationalist appeals that have gained traction in Hungary and Slovakia. His victory ahead of centre-right mayor Elena Lasconi -- who scored 19.18 percent -- ended the hopes of Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu to compete for the presidency in the December runoff. After coming third at 19.15, Ciolacu said his Social Democratic Party (PSD) won't challenge the narrow result, and announced his resignation as party leader. Experts say the far right's surprise success could affect the parliamentary elections later this week, and even influence the chances of forming a future government. In the runoff ballot on December 8, Lasconi will face Georgescu, a NATO critic who in the past expressed his admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Georgescu's popularity surged ahead of the vote with a viral TikTok campaign calling for an end to aid for Ukraine, which shares a 650-kilometre (400-mile) border with Romania. In a first reaction on his YouTube channel, the 62-year-old independent candidate insisted "there is no East or West", stressing that neutrality was "absolutely necessary". "I am not an extremist, I am not a fascist -- I am a Romanian who loves his country," he said in reference to media reports that "tried to portray" him in a wrongful way. For his rival Lasconi, the upcoming runoff represents "an existential battle", "a historic confrontation" between those who wish to "preserve Romania's young democracy" and those who want to "return to the Russian sphere of influence". "We must not allow anger to throw us back into the past," she said to thunderous applause from her supporters, vowing to stand up for Europe and NATO. The political earthquake comes amid soaring inflation and mounting fears of Romania being potentially dragged into Russia's war in neighbouring Ukraine, as the country has emerged as a key player on the alliance's eastern flank. In Sunday's vote, another far-right contender, AUR party leader George Simion, secured nearly 14 percent. Already pounding the campaign trail for this week's parliamentary elections, Simion said Romania now has "the chance to have a sovereign government and a sovereign president". Overall, the far right won more than a third of all votes in Sunday's presidential ballot. "The far right is by far the big winner of this election," political scientist Cristian Pirvulescu told AFP, predicting a possible "contagion effect" in the parliamentary vote. Extremist forces and Lasconi's centre-right party now have "wind in their sails", sociologist Gelu Duminica said, though "it remains to be seen if they know how to capitalise" on it. The PSD, which has shaped the country's politics for more than three decades, has never before been eliminated in the first round of a presidential election. The National Liberal Party (PNL) party, with whom the PSD currently governs, also suffered a defeat. While many expressed their disbelief over the poll in the streets of the capital Bucharest, others were enthused. Maria Chis, 70, said she was surprised by Georgescu's lead in the first round but had been impressed after watching his TikTok videos. "He seems a man of integrity, serious and patriotic. He inspires seriousness. I think only someone like him can bring change," said the pensioner, who was planning to vote for him in the second round. Alex Tudose, the owner of a construction company, was gloomy. "There is sorrow, disappointment, that after so many years in Euro-Atlantic structures we voted for a pro-Russian by over 20 percent," the 42-year-old said. "There is clearly a strong fragmentation both in society and in the political class, and I think we saw that yesterday," he said. ani-anb-kym/sbk Get any of our free email newsletters — news headlines, sports, arts & entertainment, state legislature, CFD news, and more.

Serbian activists file complaint over spyware use BELGRADE: Several Serbian NGOs filed complaints Tuesday against members of the police and security services following an Amnesty International report that authorities were using sophisticated digital surveillance technology to spy on journalists and activists. The rights watchdog ́s December 16 report, “A Digital Prison,” said Serbian authorities had used spyware that provided them “extensive surveillance capabilities once installed on a target ́s device.” The report includes testimonies of an activist and a journalist who accused authorities of covertly installing spyware on their devices while being questioned by authorities. “We have filed a criminal complaint against unidentified individuals from the Security Information Agency (BIA) and the police on suspicion of committing unauthorised collection of personal data, creating and introducing computer viruses and electronic data processing,” said Dusan Pokusevski from the expert organization SHARE, which focuses on digital security. The Amnesty report highlighted the use of software made by Israeli firm Cellebrite to extract information from smartphones belonging to activists and journalists, as well as to introduce what is believed to be a locally developed spyware program called NoviSpy. The app can remotely activate a phone ́s microphone or camera for recording and extracting sensitive personal data, according to Amnesty. Cellebrite products are widely used by law enforcement agencies worldwide to unlock smartphones and search for evidence. Serbia ́s intelligence agency dismissed the Amnesty report ́s claims as “absurd”. In a separate statement, Serbian police said its forces only use forensic tools in accordance with the country ́s laws. But activists claim that Serbia ́s legal framework does not provide a legal basis for the intrusive measures detailed in the Amnesty report. They also claim to have evidence that data from infected devices was sent to a server hosted on an IP address previously linked to the BIA.by Reemus FeRnando After being bowled out for 147 runs Mahanama fought back to restrict S. Thomas’ to the same score to record a first innings tie in the Under 19 Division I Tier ‘A’ tournament match at Mount Lavinia on Sunday. Geeth Sandaruwan led the way with a four-wicket haul while Anuka Wijewardana and Chamika Heenatigala took two wickets each. Sachithra Gunasinghe’s 30 was the top score for Thomians as the home team batted for 84 overs.In the batting department, Chamika Heenatigala stood out with back-to-back half centuries. In their second essay, Mahanama were 157 for six wickets at close with Heenatigala unbeaten on 51 runs. Scores: Mahanama 147 all out in 53 overs (Chamika Heenatigala 55, Osanda Muthugama 26, Venura Kaveethra 23; Dineth Goonewardana 5/40, Abeeth Paranawidana 2/32) and 157 for 6 in 36 overs (Chamika Heenatigala 51n.o.,Eshan Withanage 37; Abeeth Paranawidana 3/44, Aaron de Silva 3/51) Thomas 72 for 5 overnight 147 all out in 84.2 overs (Sachithra Gunasinghe 30; Geeth Sandaruwan 4/19, Anuka Wijewardana 2/33, Chamika Heenatigala 2/39)A 7-year-old boy critically injured Saturday by a falling drone during a holiday show in downtown Orlando remains in intensive care, his mother said Monday in a post on a GoFundMe page. “Zander is out of surgery and still fighting!” Jessica Lumedge wrote. “I will be missing work at this time, and he will be celebrating Christmas in the ICU.” The boy, Alezander, underwent emergency open-heart surgery Sunday after one of several drones that fell from the sky during the Holiday Drone Show at Lake Eola Park struck him in the chest and mouth. The Federal Aviation Administration announced Saturday evening on X, formerly Twitter, that it’s investigating. It remained unclear Tuesday what caused the drones to collide and fall. About 25,000 people attended the evening event. Adriana Edgerton, the boy’s other mother, said in an interview with WESH-TV that her family was watching the show when multiple drones fell from the sky. “Everyone’s natural instinct was to duck and scatter,” Edgerton said. “Before we realized it, my daughter found my son on the floor unconscious. He had blood coming out of his face.” An Orlando city spokesperson Tuesday did not return a message seeking comment. The city had said in a news release that there were “technical difficulties” during the show. Just before 7 p.m. the Orlando Fire Department responded to calls that a person was injured by a drone, according to the release. The city then canceled the 8 p.m. show. The show was organized by Sky Elements based in Fort Worth, Texas. Representatives did not return calls or emails Tuesday seeking comment. A company statement released Sunday said: “Sky Elements Drones wants to extend our sincere hope for a full and speedy recovery for those impacted at our Lake Eola show.” On its website, the company states that one of its missions is safety and “protecting onlookers, staff members and property at all times.” “Safety is our number one priority, borderline obsessed,” the website states. Videos from the Orlando show posted on social media show multiple green and red drones falling from the sky. In one video posted to X, user MosquitoCoFL Podcast showed drones falling as Lake Eola’s famous swans vigorously flapped their wings and quickly moved away.

Kyverna Therapeutics Strengthens Leadership Team to Accelerate Next Phase of Growth

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — With Penn State's strong push for a spot in the College Football Playoff still a couple of wins from completion, the biggest roadblock to a bid for the Nittany Lions in this favorable final third of their schedule has appeared with a trip to Minnesota . That's why this week, naturally, is too early for them to talk about making the inaugural 12-team tournament — as enticing as their prospects might be. “I think the quality of teams that we go in and play each week speaks for itself,” quarterback Drew Allar said. "But as far as rankings, it doesn’t really matter until it matters.” Penn State (9-1, 6-1 Big Ten) is fourth in both the AP poll and the CFP rankings this week, needing help for a long-shot hope of reaching the Big Ten title game because of a loss to now-No. 2 Ohio State on Nov. 2. In this new era of playoff expansion, the Nittany Lions are on firm footing for an at-large bid. Lose to the unranked Gophers (6-4, 4-3), however, and that ground could become shaky given the current collection of standout two-loss teams in the SEC. In case the Nittany Lions needed proof of the danger of letting focus diverge, coach James Franklin and his staff can call up the tape from Nov. 9, 2019. That's when an undefeated Penn State team came to Minnesota and lost 31-26 . The Nittany Lions lost again at Ohio State two weeks later and finished 11-2, one of several not-quite performances for this storied program that last went unbeaten in 1994 and hasn't been recognized as national champions since 1986. The Gophers were undefeated themselves after that game before losses to rivals Iowa and Wisconsin ended their Rose Bowl quest. This team isn't on that level of talent and success from five years ago, but the chemistry has been off the charts. Coach P.J. Fleck drew attention to some of the individual standout performances that fueled the signature victory in 2019 in meetings with players this week. “We need our best playmakers to play their best. Penn State’s going to need their playmakers to be their best. That’s what happens in November,” Fleck said. Tyler Warren has already shattered nearly every record for Penn State tight ends. The do-it-all senior become such a force his teammates insist he’s worthy of the Heisman Trophy, tracking toward the top of the NFL draft board for his position next spring. “He’s the best tight end in America, but he’s also the most complete tight end in America," Allar said. Warren is coming off a 190-yard performance at Purdue that included 63 yards on three rushes and 127 yards on eight receptions. “He has the ability to take a play that should be 2 or 3 yards and turn it into 30 or 40,” Gophers defensive end Danny Striggow said. Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter has 171⁄2 tackles for loss, the second-most in the FBS, and eight sacks to match the third-most in the Big Ten. He has a challenging matchup this week with Minnesota left tackle Aireontae Ersery across from him in a battle of projected first-round NFL draft picks. Gophers coaches told Striggow and his fellow defensive linemen a couple of seasons ago to relish the opportunity to face Ersery in practice. “That’s one of the best looks in the country that you’re going to get,” Striggow said. Carter has successfully made the transition from linebacker this season. “He is impacting the game in a number of ways, which creates opportunities for other guys on our defensive line and within our defense and causes a lot of headaches,” Franklin said. “He is becoming more and more of a leader every single day.” Allar and the Nittany Lions have paid particular attention to protecting the ball this week, given the Gophers have 16 interceptions, one short of the national lead. Penn State quarterback Drew Allar feels he’ll need to be especially accurate this weekend considering Minnesota has 16 interceptions on the season. “We’re just going to have to be disciplined and stick to our game plan,” Allar said. The Gophers have a strong group of departing players who will take the field at Huntington Bank Stadium for the final time, including Ersery, quarterback Max Brosmer, wide receiver Daniel Jackson, right guard Quinn Carroll, cornerback Justin Walley, kicker Dragan Kesich and Striggow. “It’s been good to reflect, but it’s not over yet," Striggow said. "Those short windows of reflection, I cut ’em out and then say, ‘We’ve got some more memories to make.’” Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Will Howard passed for two touchdowns and rushed for another, TreVeyon Henderson ran for a score, and No. 2 Ohio State beat previously undefeated No. 5 Indiana 38-15 on Saturday. All Ohio State (10-1, 7-1) has to do now is beat Michigan at home next Saturday and it will earn a return to the Big Ten championship game for the first time since 2020 and get a rematch with No. 1 Oregon. The Ducks beat Ohio State 32-31 in a wild one back on Oct. 12. The Hoosiers (10-1, 7-1) had their best chance to beat the Buckeyes for the first time since 1988 but were hurt by special teams mistakes and disrupted by an Ohio State defense that sacked quarterback Kurtis Rourke five times. Howard finished 22 for 26 for 201 yards. Emeka Egbuka had seven catches for 80 yards and a TD. NO. 25 ILLINOIS 38, RUTGERS 31: Luke Altmyer found Pat Bryant for a catch-and-run, 40-yard touchdown pass with 4 seconds left, sending Illinois to a wild road victory over Rutgers. People are also reading... Illinois (8-3, 5-3) was down 31-30 when it sent long kicker Ethan Moczulski out for a desperation 58-yard field goal with 14 seconds to go. Rutgers (6-5, 3-5) coach Greg Schiano then called for a timeout right before Moczulski’s attempt was wide left and about 15 yards short. After the missed field goal was waved off by the timeout, Illinois coach Bret Bielema sent his offense back on the field. Altmyer hit Bryant on an in cut on the left side at the 22, and he continued across the field and scored untouched in a game that featured three lead changes in the final 3:07. IOWA 29, MARYLAND 13: Kaleb Johnson rushed for 164 yards and a touchdown on a career-high 35 carries, and Kamari Moulton scored on a 68-yard run in the fourth quarter to help Iowa outlast Maryland in College Park. Johnson scored from 2 yards out in the second quarter for his 21st rushing touchdown of the season, and the Hawkeyes (7-4, 5-3) rebounded from their loss to UCLA in their previous game. Maryland (4-7, 1-7) needed to win its final two regular-season games to reach six wins and bowl eligibility, but the Terrapins were dominated in the first half and eventually fell behind 16-0. Drew Stevens made five field goals for Iowa, including kicks from 54 yards in the second quarter, then 50 and 49 in the third. LATE FRIDAY MICHIGAN STATE 24, PURDUE 17: Aidan Chiles threw for two scores in the first half to build a three-touchdown lead and Michigan State (5-6, 3-5) held on to beat Purdue (1-10, 0-8) at home. The Spartans are a win away from being eligible for a bowl with first-year coach Jonathan Smith and they play Rutgers at home in the final regular-season game.

The Kansas City Chiefs (14-1) take on the Pittsburgh Steelers (10-5) Wednesday -- Christmas Day -- in Week 17. Kickoff from Acrisure Stadium is set for 1 p.m. ET (Netflix). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's NFL odds around the Chiefs vs. Steelers odds , and make our expert NFL picks and predictions . The Chiefs took down the Houston Texans Saturday 27-19, covering the spread as 3.5-point home favorites with the Over (42.5) hitting. QB Patrick Mahomes shrugged off a high-ankle sprain and went 28-for-41 for 260 passing yards, 1 TD and 0 INTs. He also rushed 5 times for 33 yards and score. WR Xavier Worthy was the top target, finishing with 7 catches for 65 yards and 1 TD. The Steelers dropped their second in a row as they fell 34-17 Saturday at the Baltimore Ravens. QB Russell Wilson was 22-for-33 for 217 yards, 2 TDs and 1 INT as Pittsburgh failed to cover as 7.5-point underdogs and the Over (44) cashed. Missing WR George Pickens (hamstring) for a third game in a row game has really hamstrung this offense. The good news: He was a full participant in practice Monday and is expected to play Wednesday, which would be huge for the Steelers. Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now !

Chiefs at Steelers key injuries Chiefs Steelers FOOTBALL NEVER STOPS Live games, analysis and more 7 days a week: Get ESPN+ Chiefs at Steelers picks and predictions Prediction Steelers 20, Chiefs 17 Moneyline The Steelers are tied with the Ravens atop the AFC North. Pittsburgh holds the tiebreaker and would be the third seed in the AFC if the season ended today. This Christmas game means far more to Pittsburgh than it does Kansas City, though the Mahomes & Co. are 1 win or 1 Buffalo Bills loss from locking up the top seed -- and the AFC bye. The Chiefs o-line is banged up, and honestly, their tackles have been terrible. Steelers LB T.J. Watt is going to shred them, and I could see K.C. waving the white flag and pulling Mahomes to avoid injury. TAKE STEELERS (+ 125 ) at home. Against the spread Since I'm on the Pittsburgh moneyline, it's a PASS on the spread, but I'd understand if you feel the safer play is taking the 2.5 points. I'm going with Chiefs TE PAT FREIERMUTH OVER 28.5 RECEIVING YARDS (- 120 ) here. It's slated to be 38 degrees, and the run game will be huge, but the short-passing game will be the secondary option. The Chiefs have allowed the second-most receiving yards to tight ends over the last 5 weeks, according to fftoday.com. Over/Under The Steelers are 7-3 O/U in their last 10 games. The Chiefs are 5-5, and they just ended a 3-game Under streak last week. I look more into the weather, and what this game means for both sides than I do the trends, though. As mentioned, it's going to be a cold, miserable, hard-hitting game in Pittsburgh. I really don't see either team scoring more than 24 points. BET UNDER 44 (- 110 ), and you should have room to spare. Want to play some games of your own?

According to former detective and child safety expert, Kristi McVee , the changes to Roblox’s chat options appear to be positive on the surface, but parents need to dig a little deeper to make sure their children are completely safe while using the app. “Whilst Roblox has made what appears positive changes to protect children under the age of 13, the changes are a fake ‘security’ measure for parents and less than what Roblox can do to protect children,” Kristi told Kidspot. “My biggest beef which the surface level protective measures Roblox released, is that it puts the onus back on the parents to ensure children are safe on their game. These changes were made purely as a ‘reputation saving exercise’ after being labeled a ‘pedophile’s hellscape’ in the Hindenburg Report in October.” According to Kristi, putting the responsibility back on the parents is a major red flag relating to the new rules. “Roblox chose to make it a parent’s responsibility to keep kids safe instead of blocking and removing the millions of predatory adults who prey upon kids in the game and the millions of inappropriate games and content that our children have access to,” she insists. “They know that the game users and content are problematic, yet they have taken the easy option to make parents responsible for a game specifically targeted and aimed at children. “For children under the age of 13 years, a parent account NEEDS to be set up and linked to their children’s account to be able to set up the new safety measures, however, from 13 years plus, they no longer have any control over their accounts.” Similar to many people’s concerns about the social media ban on under 16 seeing children lie about their ages, Kristi admits she is also concerned that this ‘trend’ will filter into online games such as Roblox. “As a detective and cyber safety educator, I saw numerous children set up accounts using fake dates of birth to varying social media platforms to enable access. What’s to stop any child from creating accounts doing this? There is no age verification, so anyone can create a 13-plus account and start playing/talking to strangers,” she points out. “Kids are very resourceful and will find a way if they want to. As parents, we need tech companies and especially platforms designed for our kids to take some accountability and do more. “They have ways to identify and remove these predatory accounts, yet they choose to turn a blind eye and tell parents it’s their fault if their child is abused on our platform,” she adds. Now is not the time to panic, however. If your child does play Roblox , there are ways to keep them safe. “If you choose to let your children on Roblox, ensure they have the right date of birth and use whatever settings are available to you,” Kristi suggests. “Regularly supervise and play alongside them, be in the room with them, and check their usage weekly. “Get to know the platform and how it works, identify what games your child is playing, and be mindful of 3rd party messaging apps like Discord. Kids might not talk to each other in the game, but they can still communicate via other messaging apps,” she adds. Earlier this week, Chief Safety Officer Matt Kaufman made the announcement that Roblox would be making some significant changes to its platform to make it safer for some of its youngest users. Though he said that connecting with others is core to the Roblox experience , Kaufman also acknowledged that safety is of the utmost importance. As a result of this, users under the age of 13 will no longer be able to message others on Roblox outside of games or experiences. There will also be a built-in setting introduced limiting users under 13 to public broadcast messages only within a game or experience. By default, users under 13 will not be able to directly message others – however, parents can change this setting in Parental Controls.

Special counsel moves to abandon election interference and classified documents cases against TrumpMUMBAI: The rupee weakened to its all-time low for the sixth consecutive trading session on Tuesday as a rise in US bond yields boosted the dollar and strong demand for the greenback from importers added to the lingering pressure on the local currency. The rupee declined to 85.21 against the US dollar, eclipsing its previous record low of 85.12 hit on Monday. It ended the session at 85.20, down 0.1% on the day. RBI's intervention, likely via dollar sales, again helped limit the rupee's losses, traders said. However, the "RBI doesn't seem to defending any level right now but is just curbing volatility, which signals steady rupee depreciation will continue," a trader at a state-run bank said. A multitude of factors have hurt the rupee this quarter, including tepid capital flows, a widening of trade deficit, and concerns about slowing economic growth. reuters Ready to Master Stock Valuation?
