Stock market today: Tech stocks and AI pull Wall Street to more recordsThe maritime industry is on the verge of a new era in connectivity with the launch of The Hood, a social platform built with a bold mission: to unite seafarers, their families, and maritime professionals into one vibrant, inclusive community. The Hood is more than just a networking tool. It is a space for meaningful connection, where industry members can support and empower one another. Inspired by terms like ‘sisterhood’ and ‘brotherhood,’ The Hood captures the spirit of family and mutual support. Members can job hunt, chat with colleagues, or share ideas and experiences with ease—no matter where in the world they are. The vision behind The Hood began six years ago when Josephine Le, Founder and Managing Director, first entered the maritime industry and recognised its uniqueness. She observed how challenging life at sea can be, especially for those away from home for long stretches, and saw the need for a space where maritime professionals could truly connect and support each other. After extensive research to understand the industry’s unique needs, Ms Le brought The Hood to life as a well-thought-out platform designed specifically to address these challenges. “I remember first joining the industry and feeling an immediate sense of community, but I also saw the isolation seafarers experience and some outdated recruitment practices,” said Josephine Le, Founder and Managing Director of The Hood. “The Hood was born out of a desire for connection and dependability. Even in the ever-evolving chaos like the current social media landscape, it speaks to our natural tendency to gravitate towards any kind of link to real connections and how these digital anchors can become the bedrock of a real community” Josephine Le, Founder and Managing Director “Our goal is simple but powerful: to build a community where strangers become family, and where members feel truly supported and empowered. Whether you’re just starting out or have spent years at sea, The Hood is here to help you connect, share, and belong.” The Hood serves every corner of the maritime world. Engineers can create dedicated groups to swap technical know-how, deck officers can discuss navigation and regulations, and cadets can find mentors. This tailored approach allows maritime professionals of all kinds to find support and camaraderie, right in their own space. By choosing the delicate balance between the ease of use for the less technological savvy and the advanced features of the professional page, the Hood gives the younger generation of our industry an enhanced social media tool with all their favourite features while providing the value of industry expertise by bringing the seasoned experts to the community. Starting with a dual social/professional profile feature, the platform will offer free Career Hub page for users, ability to store and share CV and documents directly, dedicated online centres for wellbeing support, e-learning, news section, and a coming soon e-shop—resources that speak directly to the community’s unique needs. The Hood is not just about work; it’s about creating an enduring community for the maritime sector. As it expands to offer more features, it will remain dedicated to its mission of uniting and uplifting the industry, helping maritime professionals, their families, and seafarers build bonds that extend far beyond the workplace. Join The Hood today and be part of a thriving community where the maritime community connect, collaborate, and belong. Sign up here: Source: The Hood
Likely voters believe President-elect Donald Trump should choose Cabinet members “he knows he can trust” rather than those with D.C. experience, according to a recent Rasmussen Reports survey. Across the board, most, 71 percent, believe the president’s Cabinet choices are “very important” — a belief shared by 70 percent of Democrats, 77 percent of Republicans, and 65 percent of independents. The survey then asked respondents which idea is closer to their belief: either “The president should choose Cabinet officers he knows he can trust” or “The president should choose Cabinet officers with experience in Washington, D.C.” Across the board, a majority of likely voters, 55 percent, prioritize trust over D.C. experience. Another 39 percent said the president should choose Cabinet members based on experience, and seven percent remain unsure. Republicans and independents are far more likely to prioritize trust over experience, as 82 percent of Republicans and 53 percent of independents said the president should choose Cabinet members he knows he can trust. Only 31 percent of Democrats agreed. A majority of Democrats, 61 percent, said the president should choose Cabinet members with D.C. experience. Across the board, 55 percent also believe that the Senate should approve Trump’s choices for Cabinet positions. Those include Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) for secretary of state, Pam Bondi for attorney general, Gov. Kristi Noem as head of Homeland Security, Pete Hegseth as defense secretary, Gov. Doug Burgum as interior secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health and Human Services secretary, and many more. The survey was taken November 20-21, 2024, among 1,266 U.S. likely voters. It has a +/- 3 percent margin of error. Speaking to Breitbart News Daily on Tuesday, Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) said that Trump chose members of his Cabinet quickly because he knows “he has to hit the ground running” on day one. “Trump was given a mandate ... by the American people, and I trust President Trump and I trust his decision-making ability. And what he has put together and his Cabinet are people that can get the job done and get the America First agenda pushed through immediately,” Hunt said. “I think that was a lesson that he learned from his last presidency. He doesn’t have time to waste. He doesn’t have time to wait and figure out what the swamp wants to do. This is the man that is on a mission, and he knows that we have to get these confirmations through, get them done, get them picked early, and then get on with the business of saving our country,” the congressman added. “And that’s why this was done so rapidly and so quickly.”Mexico’s recently elected President Claudia Sheinbaum was just named as one of the 100 most influential climate leaders in business for 2024 by Time magazine. With a PhD in energy engineering and extensive experience rolling out renewable energy projects as mayor of Mexico City, there are high hopes that she will be the one to put Mexico on track for a green transition. However, many expect Sheinbaum to follow in the footsteps of former President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO), who led the Morena political party for the last six years and focused heavily on the nationalization of Mexican energy and strongly backed oil and gas. As an academic, Sheinbaum contributed to two major reports for the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Then, as mayor of Mexico City, she launched the city’s first electric bus fleet and developed one of the world’s biggest urban solar projects at the Centro de Abasto wholesale market. She has often stated her commitment to renewable energy, in contrast to her predecessor who rarely mentioned the terms ‘sustainability’ or ‘renewable energy’ in his speeches. if(window.innerWidthADVERTISEMENTfreestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: "oilprice_medrec_atf", slotId: "oilprice_medrec_atf" });';document.write(write_html);} During her inaugural speech in October, Sheinbaum pledged to continue to support the indebted state-owned oil company Pemex while also implementing a state-led plan for an energy transition. “We all need strong, public state energy companies that guarantee clean energy at low prices to current and future generations,” she said. Earlier in the year, Sheinbaum stated plans to spend at least $13.6 billion on renewables – including developing Mexico’s wind and solar energy capacity and modernizing five hydroelectric plants, as well as announced a goal of achieving 45 percent clean energy by 2030, from 24 percent in 2023. In November, Mexico’s government unveiled its new National Electricity Strategy, part of the National Energy Plan, which includes $23.4 billion in investment to support the state-owned national electricity company CFE in adding 13 GW of capacity sourced from both fossil fuels and renewable energy. The funding will contribute towards generation, transmission, and distribution projects. The government also established rules to allow private companies to add up to an additional 9.6 GW from renewable sources by 2030. The new framework permits 46 percent of electricity generation to come from private investments, marking a shift away from AMLO’s strict energy nationalization strategy. While the plan allows for an increased role from the private sector, the government stated that CFE was “rescued from privatisation” under the AMLO administration, increasing its electricity generation share from 38 percent in 2018 to 54 percent in 2024, through $20 billion in investment and the acquisition of 13 Iberdrola plants, adding 8,639 MW of capacity. While the new national strategy has provided an optimistic outlook for the energy sector, Mexico’s 2025 budget proposal is aimed at reducing the current deficit by cutting spending across several sectors. Environmental spending has been reduced by 39 percent , while public spending for Pemex has been decreased by 7.5 percent. Although the government is expected to transfer $6.69 billion to Pemex in 2025 to help the severely indebted company meet its debt and loan repayments. Pemex has become known as “ the world’s most indebted oil company ”, owing around $120 billion in total. In November, Mexico announced a plan to simplify the tax payment system for Pemex, by merging three existing taxes into one. Sheinbaum stated , “We have to fix Pemex,” and the new plan “would seek to cut inefficiencies, diversify energy sources and pay down debt while protecting output levels.” Meanwhile, the new director of Pemex, Víctor Rodríguez, has been tasked with reducing the company’s costs by $2.44 billion. if(window.innerWidth ADVERTISEMENTfreestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: "oilprice_medrec_btf", slotId: "oilprice_medrec_btf" });`;document.write(write_html);} The government aims to help Pemex increase estimated oil reserves, boost natural gas production to 5 billion cubic feet per day, and maintain hydrocarbon production at 1.8 million bpd. Although this aim is far less than ALMO’s previous target of 2.6 million bpd. Sheinbaum has publicly discussed the 2013 energy reform from then President Enrique Peña Nieto, which aimed for an output of 3 million bpd. She stated , “That is environmentally impossible... It is better to promote efficiency and renewable sources.” In addition, experts suggest that the once oil-rich Latin American country now has only around ten years of oil left at its current rate of production, unless it launches fracking operations or conducts deepwater exploration. While Sheinbaum intends to continue backing Pemex, she has also announced plans to expand Mexico’s renewable energy output. The third and fourth phases of the 1 GW Puerto Penasco solar plant in Sonora – set to be the “ largest solar farm in Latin America ” – are expected to be completed during her six-year term in office, in addition to several other wind and solar projects in the north of Mexico. However, the cap on the capacity that private companies are permitted to add could deter investors from tapping into Mexico’s extensive renewable energy potential.
