3win They are investigating whether his short-lived martial law decree earlier this month amounted to rebellion. The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials, which is leading a joint investigation with police and military authorities into the power grab that lasted only a few hours, confirmed it requested the warrant on Monday. Investigators plan to question Mr Yoon on charges of abuse of authority and orchestrating a rebellion. Mr Yoon has dodged several requests by the joint investigation team and public prosecutors to appear for questioning and has also blocked searches of his offices. It is not clear whether the court will grant the warrant or whether Mr Yoon can be compelled to appear for questioning. Under the country’s laws, locations potentially linked to military secrets cannot be seized or searched without the consent of the person in charge and it is unlikely Mr Yoon will voluntarily leave his residence if he faces detainment. Mr Yoon’s presidential powers were suspended after the National Assembly voted to impeach him on December 14 over his imposition of martial law that lasted only hours but has triggered weeks of political turmoil, halted high-level diplomacy and rattled financial markets. His fate lies with the Constitutional Court, which has begun deliberations on whether to uphold the impeachment and formally remove Mr Yoon from office or reinstate him. Mr Yoon has defended the martial law decree as a necessary act of governance, describing it as a warning against the liberal opposition Democratic Party, which has been bogging down his agenda with its majority in the parliament. Parliament voted last week to also impeach Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, who had assumed the role of acting president after Mr Yoon’s powers were suspended, over his reluctance to fill three Constitutional Court vacancies ahead of the court’s review of Mr Yoon’s case. The country’s new interim leader is Deputy Prime Minister Choi Sang-mok, who is also finance minister.South Korean authorities seek warrant to detain impeached presidentThe Hidden Giant of AI: Unprecedented Growth Revealed

Nationwide is giving account holders a £100 bonus, but there are some conditions. In a time when many households face rising costs, this initiative offers a timely financial boost. The “Fairer Share Payment" is a £100 bonus designed to share profits with eligible members. The payments will be made between June 13 and June 28, 2024, but only to those who meet specific criteria. To qualify, members must hold both a current account and either savings or a mortgage with Nationwide. Current account eligibility depends on the type of account and its activity as of March 31, 2024. For accounts such as FlexPlus, the monthly fee must have been paid. FlexOne, FlexStudent, or FlexGraduate account holders must have made or received at least one payment during March, unless the account was switched between January and March 2024. Other current accounts, including FlexAccount, FlexDirect, or FlexBasic, require members to meet one of two conditions during at least two months of the first quarter of 2024: either receiving £500 into the account or making two payments, or completing 10 or more transactions. Savings accounts also play a role in eligibility. Members must have held at least £100 in personal savings accounts or cash ISAs at the end of any day in March 2024. However, investments such as stocks and shares or accounts held in another person’s name are excluded. Mortgage holders can qualify if they owed at least £100 on a residential mortgage with Nationwide as of March 31. Mortgages with subsidiaries like The Mortgage Works or those applied for but not completed by this date are not eligible. Nationwide has clarified that eligibility is assessed individually, even for joint accounts. This means both account holders can qualify for the bonus if they meet the criteria. However, accounts managed under arrangements such as power of attorney will count toward the beneficiary’s eligibility, not the manager’s. The payment will be deposited directly into a qualifying current account. If members hold multiple current accounts, the bank will select one, prioritizing sole-name accounts where possible. The transaction will appear on statements as “Nationwide Fairer Share Payment.” Nationwide acknowledged the potential for errors and promised to rectify any mistakes. A spokesperson explained: “If we find you were wrongly excluded, we will make the payment. However, we cannot guarantee how quickly new account applications are processed, and delays may affect eligibility.” This initiative is part of Nationwide’s commitment to sharing profits with its members. The spokesperson added: “As a modern mutual, we’re able to share some of our profits with members who bank and save or bank and borrow with us.”

Ange Postecoglou has said the squad still support his attacking philosophy and backed them to turn their season around after to on Sunday. Spurs were 2-0 up after 11 minutes through goals from and but were unable to halt Chelsea's stirring comeback as 's first-half strike and 's 61st-minute penalty levelled the scores. then put the away side in front before Palmer's second spot-kick of the evening settled the contest. Although scored a consolation goal in the sixth minute of added time, fans greeted the full-time whistle with boos and many had left even earlier after feeling resigned to Tottenham's seventh league defeat of the season. Postecoglou, who took charge at Tottenham in the summer of 2023 and guided them to fifth place in his first season, after Thursday's at and pressure is mounting on the 59-year-old with the club 11th in the table and now seven points off the top four. Tottenham have suffered a series of injury setbacks and lost to a quad injury after only 15 minutes before went off with illness and was only able to play 79 minutes following a hamstring problem. "It is a tough moment because there are all these tools you can possibly use as a manager when you are going through tough moments to turn things around and our limited resources from a playing perspective at the moment doesn't allow us to do that so you have to find other ways," Postecoglou told a news conference. "It's not through a lack of effort. The players are constantly out there because we can't rotate. They are giving everything they can. It diminishes performances as well because they probably need a rest but we can't give them a rest. "I think it is something we need to tackle head on and keep pushing on. There is still plenty to play for us between now and January just to make sure we keep performing. "I still sense within this squad there is a real conviction in what we are doing and if we maintain that we will turn our season around and hopefully at some point we hit some smoother waters in terms of some of the things that are happening at the moment." Postecoglou also voiced his frustration at referee Anthony Taylor's decision not to punish Chelsea midfielder for a late tackle on in the 34th minute. VAR official Jarred Gillett deemed Caicedo had not used excessive force in the tackle but Postecoglou said: "I think it's kind of where we're at with the current state of football, where people are just frozen to make big decisions. I think referees don't want to make them because they'll go to VAR and VAR doesn't want to intervene, so you're kind of left in no man's land. "I just don't think, I have said it before, the technology has helped our game. I don't see how it helps because It means instead of one person being in control of a game and you accepting that, it almost feels like no one is in control because everybody is scared to make a decision to overturn somebody else. "Referees are scared to make decisions in case they get it wrong, VAR don't want to intervene and I get that because you don't want disruptions to the game. You just have to cop it."

TORONTO - Live streams of Taylor Swift’s sold-out Eras Tour concerts in Toronto have given devoted fans a window into the spectacle of outfits, surprise songs and elaborate stages from one of the biggest cultural events in recent memory. As the massive tour inches toward its final three shows in Vancouver early next month, feeding Swifties’ insatiable appetite has become a nightly tradition for a handful of live stream hosts based all over the world. They act as ringleaders for tens of thousands of viewers witnessing Swift’s constantly evolving show through unofficial channels. Swifties who've hosted unofficial live streams of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour shows say it's enhanced the experience for fans across the world. But rebroadcasting copyrighted music without a licence isn't allowed, and social media platforms sometimes shut down live feeds mid-stream. (Nov. 23, 2024 / The Canadian Press) “I never saw it being as big as it is,” said Tess Bohne, one of the personalities credited as a pioneer of the Swift live streams. “There is a big idea of community (and) being present without being there.” Broadcasting unauthorized concert live streams on social platforms such as TikTok, Instagram and Facebook isn’t an entirely new phenomenon, but it’s one that’s been amplified with Swift’s tour. As their popularity grows, the streams are sparking conversations about copyright law and the delicate balance between protecting intellectual property and allowing listeners to embrace their fandom. “We’ve gone beyond art being a one-way conversation from the artist to the audience,” said Jay Kerr-Wilson, an IP lawyer and co-leader of Fasken’s Technology, Media and Telecommunications Group in Ottawa. “Copyright owners, generally speaking, are being more flexible and they’re not necessarily (thinking) black-and-white.” Representatives for the singer did not respond to requests for comment. For fans, the lines are already blurred. Bohne got wrapped up in the Swift live-streaming phenomenon nearly two years ago after she attended the second night of the Eras Tour, in Glendale, Ariz., and found herself consumed by the experience for days afterward. “(Often) you go to a concert and you’re like, ‘That was great, let’s move on with my life,’” the 33-year-old explained in a video call from Salt Lake City. “But there was something different. It was like, ‘No, that wasn’t enough. I’m not done.’” Eager to relive the high she felt, Bohne chased down the TikTok profiles of fellow Swifties streaming other stops on the tour. With little technical experience, she began rebroadcasting their videos, with credit, on her own TikTok profile. She would place an iPad playing their feed in front of her phone’s camera, and then swap it out with her other iPad when she found a user with a better angle of the concert. The crude setup initially drew a few thousand viewers, she said, and with more effort put into the productionher audience has grown to 100,000 to 200,000 during peak moments. Since her initial broadcast, Bohne estimates she’s streamed more than 110 of Swift’s concerts in a split-screen format, streaming the concert in one corner and munching on snacks in the other while discussing all things Swift with a chat room of strangers. Some fans donate cash, and her social media status has helped attract influencer partnerships. But the stay-at-home mom of three children said this is primarily a labour of love. Bohne is credited by many of her contemporaries as the one who inspired them to take a shot at hosting their own Eras Tour with live commentary. “A lot of people say it’s like religion for them,” explained Lucas Chalub, a Twitch streamer and longtime Swiftie. Chalub first experimented with hosting streams in August 2023. Rumours swirled that the singer might announce the release date for one of her re-recorded albums on stage in Los Angeles, so many Swifties sought out live feeds, which included his impromptu setup that night. “A lot of people joined,” remembered the 27-year-old sports journalist from Argentina. “That’s the first night that I said, ‘Why not do this every night?’” Chalub said he usually draws on streams from 10 to 15 concertgoers who are often aware their recordings might get picked up by the streaming hosts. Many bring power banks to recharge their devices and sometimes a backup phone. “We are not the heroes that people think we are,” Chalub added of his fellow streamers, crediting fans on the ground who do their work pro bono. “The real heroes are the people in the venue spending — or wasting — their time trying to live stream for us instead of enjoying the show.” The legality around live streaming Swift’s concerts is murky. In the simplest terms, the rebroadcasting of copyrighted music without a licence isn’t allowed, and platforms such as YouTube and TikTok have sometimes shut down live feeds mid-stream at the behest of record labels. It happened to Ammir Shar, a 25-year-old streamer from Blackpool, U.K., who saw his YouTube feed for the fourth Toronto concert yanked down while the show was in progress. Hosts say they worry about racking up too many takedown notices, which can risk permanently shutting down their channels. Usually after a live stream ends, they delete the footage from platforms like YouTube. However, they say attempts to silence them won’t amount to much. When one streamer falls, sometimes two others turn up. Copyright owners are still grappling with that perspective, especially when unsanctioned live streams can impact other financial stakes, said Kerr-Wilson. In Swift’s case, she sold the streaming rights to her “The Eras Tour” film to Disney Plus for US$75 million. Arguably, the lawyer suggested, a company might take issue with similar options on the market, such as a live stream. But even that seems to be an evolving conversation. “People have realized that social media and user-generated content isn’t the enemy, and, in fact, can be a powerful way to engage with fans and to be part of the conversation,” he said. “I think the trend is going to continue.” While Swift hasn’t publicly said much about the streams, several streamers believe she is aware of them. They also argue the vast majority of people tuning into their feeds already have an investment in Swift’s success. Last November, a group of technologically savvy Swifties launched Swift Alert, a phone app that sends out alerts for the highlights of each Eras Tour show. Inside the app, the creators also launched a game called Mastermind — named after a Swift song, of course — where fans can win prizes by guessing which of Swift’s rotating selection of outfits she’ll wear for each “era” of her performance. Using Swift Alert in tandem with the live streams, many fans tune in for the standout moments of the three-hour concert. “A lot of people compare it to fantasy football,” Shah said. “This kind of stuff brings us closer together.” With the Eras Tour set to end in Vancouver on Dec. 8, many live streamers say they’re uncertain how the future looks. Recently, Bohne experimented with a live stream from pop singer Meghan Trainor’s concert to see if there’s similar interest. While it was enjoyable, she said the experience wasn’t quite the same. Others have started streaming Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet Tour. They say her shows are closest to Swift’s because Carpenter is a natural at witty banter, performs nightly surprise songs and changes up her outfits. “I’ve considered doing a few other (musicians, but they) are more like normal concerts — the artist on the stage with a microphone in one outfit, just singing their songs,” said Shah. “It’s not something that people at home will be like, ‘What outfit is she going to wear?’” Some wonder how live streaming will look without the intrigue of Swift’s tour. Added Bohne: “No concert is like The Eras Tour.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 23, 2024.1.

Promising review: "Professional dog walker here. I've had these for a week and I am extremely pleased with this impulse buy. The sound quality is good. Great for the price.

The box is awesome, too." — Jimpame2 "[These earbuds] looked cool, were in my price range, and had received a lot of great reviews so I bought them. I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't really read much about them before I purchased them. Just another one of my many impulse buys. LOL! When I received the buds and started reading about them I was floored. They're WATERPROOF! That's great!...The carrying case is very solid and it needs to be because its' also the charger for the ear buds.

Promising review (long but worth the read!): "We rescued this adorable dog a few months ago...Her paperwork had her listed as a Shepard mix and we thought that wasn't right and different paperwork suggested she was a labradoodle which we thought most likely but due to her smaller size we didn't think that was quite right either... When we saw the sale it was impulse to buy it. Got the test in quickly (thanks Amazon) and taking the sample was pretty easy and straightforward. Sent it off and it took a while but just short of a month later we got our results. Before getting our results we did get updates along the way each step. When they received the sample, and a few other times explaining the process which was so neat to learn about. We got out health back a day or two before the breed. It was good to see our dog was healthy and didn't carry a whole host of genetic markers. Then we got the breed information back and we were stunned to find out our dog was part poodle which is what we suspected and her other half was Siberian husky which we did not suspect at all!!... It takes away the mystery and now when people ask what she is we can tell them!... I would 100% do it again! What a blast! — FamilyLife Get it from Amazon for $134 . 9.

It truly is a vibe." — Dray Marrow "At first I thought I was silly for buying it... then I made some waffles and am grinning from ear-to-ear! This was an impulse purchase. I was craving waffles one day and this thing popped up in my search. I'm SO glad that it did! It's super easy to use. It's perfect for one person and doesn't take up huge space.

I got these out of random impulse just because I liked the concept of them . They help evenly distribute the product. Somewhat like one of those silicone spatulas used to ice a cake. The silicone tip made clean up such a breeze after the mask application. I must say it’s a bit awkward once I got to my nose but overall it was a pleasant experience. Also since I have acrylic nails (tips) it helped in not getting the mask under my nails." — Amanda Lopez Get a pack of two from Amazon for $5.38 . 19.

I don't need a flat surface anymore, I can sit wherever. I even made my kids come see (they rolled their eyes) but anyone who does their nails will love it. I have various shaped nail polish bottles and so far they have all fit. Best impulse buy this year 💅. If i was making a little nail-polish gift basket for someone I would definitely throw one of these in there." — SWD Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 10 colors). 20. A leak-proof time-marked water bottle for the person you have to ~always~ remind to drink water. This is the perfect (and most stylish!) way for them to stay hydrated. Reviewers say this bottle is super lightweight, sleek, and motivational. Plus, seeing your progress throughout the day is always fun! Promising review: "Like so many others, I saw these water bottles all over TikTok but sheesh the price for some of the ones they had were atrocious! So when I saw Arc had one PRETTIER and MORE glam feeling for a cheaper price I had to grab it, being the money wise but impulsive shopper that I am :) LISTENNNNN!! I have a hundred other water bottles, this is by far my favorite!! It’s soooo easy to clean , I KEEP Vaseline on my hands and this has yet to fall (so duh it’s easy to hold), but it has fallen a ton because I’m clumsy and it still looks brand new! The minimalist frosted look with the aesthetic times and gold top! Girl, bye you cannot tell me I’m not a rich b**** when I carry my best friend! I love it so much that my little cousins have all asked me to buy them one!!" — I Am Tonya Maria Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in three colors and two sizes). 21.

Along with its adjustable height and angle, the desk features a non-slip leather desktop, a storage drawer, a removable book stand, AND a notebook slip, too. Promising review: "Unexpectedly awesome! This thing is the best impulse/desperation purchase I’ve made. Great for bed, sofas, and even as a low table on the floor. Sturdy. It just makes sense. — Tyler Stratton Get it from Amazon for $92.99 (available in three colors). 22. A compact under-desk bike they'll be able to use while working and sitting down for hours.

The dishwasher-safe container can also be used to cool chill tea, juice, wine , or whatever else you feel like drinking. No water comes into contact with your beverage, so you don't have to worry about dilution, either. Promising review : " Got it on Prime Day as an impulse buy. Can’t believe this works, and have recommended it to many friends. I primarily use it on white and rose wines — it’s perfect for that good bottle you want to buy and drink immediately, but isn’t kept in the refrigerator at the store, leaving you with the moral quandary of having to decide if you’re going to wait to drink it or commit the sacrilege of adding an ice cube. Two minutes in this easy to assemble contraption (four pieces -—just add water, screw parts together, and freeze overnight) and you’ve a perfectly chilled glass of wine. I usually just give it a quick rinse out and toss it right back in the freezer when done, defrosting and cleaning it periodically between what different kinds of things I’m using it on." — Malariana416 Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in five colors). 24. A soft-serve dessert maker to turn their favorite fruits into a creamy, sorbet treat! It's the perfect gift for anyone with a sweet tooth, but especially for that one person who loves ice cream even in the dead of winter. Promising reviews: " Bought this on Prime day as an impulse buy but is now a kitchen staple. My kids LOVE the sorbet that comes out of this just as much as ice cream and it is just 100% ground up fruit...Also it is pretty easy to clean. Just twist off the attachment, unscrew it, and rinse off the blades (not sharp enough to cut me) and gasket. Definitely recommend, even at full price. — N. Whelpley " 100% WORTH IT! Best impulse buy ever!! It is one of my favorite kitchen items I've ever purchased! This thing will pay for itself after you make four bowls of dessert and skip the frozen yogurt place !!...Bananas, berries, pineapple, mango. Boom. FREAKING DELICIOUS AND SO EASY TO MAKE!! THE TEXTURE IS AMAZING. BETTER THAN YOU EXPECT, I SWEAR. it's suuuuper smooth! Not icy like a snow cone, smooth like half melted ice cream. Incredible. I haven't tried the more expensive units but I cannot figure out how they could charge $120. Just buy this model. Worth the money 100%! Such a cool, fun dessert. Easy enough to make one bowl for yourself or a bunch of bowls." — Lamb Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in four colors). 25. A string of fairy lights for when they want to bring the starry night sky down to earth. These curtain lights have eight different modes (twinkle, flash, fade, etc.) and can work both in and outdoors. They'll add the perfect ambience and make evening Instagram shoots a thing. If you like vibes of the second photo, you'll want to get some sheer curtains to recreate that hazy glow. Promising review: " Best impulse buy yet!!! Originally bought this for decorating at Christmas but I hung them in my kitchen and put them on a timer so they come on at dusk and off at 10. They make the entire living room and kitchen area feel so welcoming. " — Sarah " One of my favorite impulse buys of 2019. A lot of fun settings that I’ll likely never use but I like having options. The lighting leaves my room feeling more comfortable and relaxed. Would buy again" — Asha Brown Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and six colors). 26.

Promising review: "I always wanted a light for the perfect selfies and videos, and I bought this one on a whim. I was NOT disappointed. I charged it when it arrived, and I haven’t had to charge it since (two weeks). [It has] three levels of brightness for your perfect pic! I’ll buy more as gifts!" — Diana Dawn Get it from Amazon for $9.99 . 27. A "Cup Cozy Pillow" so they don't have to move from their cozy setup just to grab a snack or dig for the remote that's buried somewhere under their pile of blankets. Cup Cozy Pillow is a small business that specializes in family-friendly snack and drink organizers. Check out a TikTok of the Cup Cozy Deluxe Pillow in action. Promising review: " I bought this on a whim. My apartment is small and we don't have enough room for end tables near the couch, so we always would have snack tables out and then just put them away when we had company over. When I first received this I tried almost every cup and mug I had to see if they would fit. Everything fits! Even my HUGE tea mugs. It has a little cut-out for the handle of a mug to fit in, which is so helpful. It's great for cups, but also is a great caddy for the remotes as well. I haven't tried to wash it yet, but I know the cover is removable and washable which is a plus. So far I have just had to spot clean it and that has worked fine. I would HIGHLY recommend!" — Randi Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in three styles and eight patterns). 28. A convenient desktop dry erase board if you know they'd rather jot something down than use a Post-it. It's perfect for those quick notes and reminders they don't want to forget, fits right in front of a monitor, and even has a storage compartment on the side. It comes with a dry-erase marker, too! Promising review: " I got this as a bit of an impulse buy after seeing this on BuzzFeed. I am one of those who likes to doodle during meetings, so this is a nice addition to my WFH desk ... The writing surface seems to be good quality. A black marker is included, but I also bought the additional Quartet markers to get different colors. Thinking about getting one of these when I return to the office." — LA Girl Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in five colors). 29. A bagel guillotine they can use for muffins, buns, rolls, and of course, bagels. This gadget will give them *perfect* slices every time, is safer than using a regular (and much more boring) knife. Promising reviews: "Not sure why it took me so long to look for this product on Amazon. It was a total impulse buy, but one of the best buys I made in 2020. Can't tell you how many times I've sliced or come close to slicing my fingers trying to get that perfectly even bagel cut...It was super easy to slice - you need to have a good grip on the bottom while simultaneously lifting the blade. Only a little effort required. Still hands-down the best impulse buy ever ." — Brooke " We LOVE this! I bought it as an impulse buy while purchasing a different style of bagel slicer and figured it would not last long in our family. It turns out the "other one" was the waste. T his slicer is easily one of the most used products in our kitchen! It does fine in the dishwasher and is seriously the smartest thing I have bought for the kitchen in a long time! It slices instantly! We have a big family and it has saved me actual measurable time." — Sarah Get it from Amazon for $15.54+ (available in four colors). 30. A pack of Gameboy wall decals that are as easy as peel, stick, and stare in awe. It'll make a fridge or a bedroom door way more fun as it doubles as dry-erase boards, too. If that won't motivate them to write down your grocery list, I don't know what will. Promising review: " I bought this on a whim because I knew my boyfriend would laugh and appreciate the heck out of it...My boyfriend plays video games and has a fair share of Cowboy Bebop figurines, so when I saw it I knew he'd get a kick out of it. 11/10 would buy again just for another chance to see his reaction. And honestly it looks great [and] transformed a boring white fridge we paid no mind to, to a clever and cute conversation piece that ~also~ serves a function. " — Olivia Get a set of six magnets from Amazon for $16.84 . 31. A screaming goat for when they're sitting at work and feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or just feeling a little anxious.

Rumble , a video platform aimed at conservatives, said Monday evening that it will begin allocating a portion of its excess cash reserves to bitcoin and making purchases of up to $20 million in the cryptocurrency. Shares rose nearly 4% in extended trading. Philadelphia news 24/7: Watch NBC10 free wherever you are "We believe that the world is still in the early stages of the adoption of bitcoin," Rumble chairman and CEO Chris Pavlovski said in a statement Monday. "Unlike any government-issued currency, bitcoin is not subject to dilution through endless money-printing, enabling it to be a valuable inflation hedge and an excellent addition to our treasury." "We are also excited to strengthen our ties with crypto and to bolster our efforts to become the leading video and cloud services platform for the crypto community," he added. The move puts Rumble in the same company as MicroStrategy , which began employing an aggressive bitcoin-buying strategy in 2020. MicroStrategy's shares, up more than 500% in 2024, trade as a proxy for bitcoin. Tesla and Block have also previously purchased bitcoin . Two smaller companies made the same move this year: Semler Scientific in May and Acurx Pharmaceuticals last week . Rumble is viewed as a play linked to Donald Trump's return to the White House given its popularity among conservatives. The alternative to YouTube went public in 2022 through a special purpose acquisition company led by Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick. Last week , President-elect Trump chose Lutnick as U.S. Commerce Secretary. Rumble is up nearly 63% this year, and the stock has gained 42% in the past year. Bitcoin itself, which came within shouting distance of the $100,000 milestone last week, retreated on Monday. It was last lower by more than 3% at around $93,000, but the flagship crypto is expected to hit the $100,000 mark before the year is over. It has more than doubled in 2024. With Trump's incoming administration expected to take a pro-crypto stance , investors are keeping an eye out for the next big company that will begin buying bitcoin. MicroStrategy chairman and bitcoin evangelist Michael Saylor said last week on an X Spaces event that he plans to pitch the board of Microsoft in December on his bitcoin treasury strategy. The theme has broadened to the government level this year, with Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyoming) proposing a national strategic bitcoin reserve . This summer, Trump also mentioned a potential national bitcoin stockpile .

The has selected three for funding grants of $179 million to help them enhance microelectronics’ energy efficiency and create new chips for extreme environments. The funding will enable the MSRCs to conduct research in microelectronics materials, device and system design, and manufacturing science to transform microelectronics technologies, the DOE said Monday. The program supports the government’s vision of producing microelectronics capable of operating in high-radiation, cryogenic and high-magnetic field environments. According to , deputy director of science programs at the DOE’s Office of Science, the research centers will deliver innovations to improve U.S. lives and enable the country to maintain its science and technology leadership. “Advancements in microelectronics are critical to furthering scientific discovery,” she added. Funding Recipients and Their Missions The funding program will help the Microelectronics Energy Efficiency Research Center for Advanced Technologies explore technologies to bridge sensing, edge processing, artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. MEERCAT will accelerate the deployment of scalable and sustainable systems to reimagine computing and sensing models. Another fund recipient, the Co-design and Heterogeneous Integration in Microelectronics for Extreme Environments Center, will develop durable systems for high performance in extreme thermal and radiation environments. CHIME will turn new research into scalable capabilities that address critical societal and industrial needs. Under the program, the Extreme Lithography and Materials Innovation Center will integrate new materials and processes into advanced microelectronic systems. ELMIC will collaborate with to start working on a future build of extreme ultraviolet lithography. The centers are established as networks of projects that were selected by competitive peer review under the DOE. Projects will run up to four years and access an initial $41 million, with the succeeding funding to be determined by congressional appropriations.

West Ham surprise Newcastle with 2-0 away winAdvertisement Cliffhangers are an important part of television history. Iconic sitcoms, prestige TV shows, and soap operas have used cliffhangers in their storytelling. Some of the most famous were on "Game of Thrones," "Grey's Anatomy," and "Lost." Writing for television is all about how to keep your audience tuning in. One way to do that is to get viewers emotionally invested ... only to put their beloved characters in mortal peril , emotional hell, or a combination of the two. In the era of television before streaming, cliffhangers used to be a way to keep viewers coming back. During "sweeps week" — ratings periods held four times a year — networks would bring out their biggest, most shocking storylines to try to lure in the most viewers to boost viewership and, therefore, ad revenue. As such, some of the most iconic moments in TV history, including some of the cliffhangers below, took place during sweeps weeks. Advertisement However, streaming has changed the game when it comes to retaining viewers, and it seems like almost every episode of a Netflix series ends in a cliffhanger to keep you binging. Here are some of the most iconic cliffhangers in TV history , not all of which ended up satisfying viewers in the long run. But they all got people talking and kept them watching week after week.

Stock indexes drifted to a mixed finish on Wall Street as some heavyweight technology and communications sector stocks offset gains elsewhere in the market. The S&P 500 slipped less than 0.1% Thursday, its first loss after three straight gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.1%. Gains by retailers and health care stocks helped temper the losses. Trading volume was lighter than usual as U.S. markets reopened following the Christmas holiday. The Labor Department reported that U.S. applications for unemployment benefits held steady last week, though continuing claims rose to the highest level in three years. Treasury yields fell in the bond market. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. Stocks wavered on Wall Street in afternoon trading Thursday, as gains in tech companies and retailers helped temper losses elsewhere in the market. The S&P 500 was up less than 0.1% after drifting between small gains and losses. The benchmark index is coming off a three-day winning streak. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 10 points, or less than 0.1%, as of 3:20 p.m. Eastern time. The Nasdaq composite was up 0.1%. Trading volume was lighter than usual as U.S. markets reopened after the Christmas holiday. Chip company Broadcom rose 2.5%, Micron Technology was up 1.3% and Adobe gained 0.8%. While tech stocks overall were in the green, some heavyweights were a drag on the market. Semiconductor giant Nvidia, whose enormous valuation gives it an outsize influence on indexes, slipped 0.1%. Meta Platforms fell 0.5%, Amazon was down 0.4%, and Netflix gave up 0.7%. Tesla was among the biggest decliners in the S&P 500, down 1.4%. Health care stocks helped lift the market. CVS Health rose 1.4% and Walgreens Boots Alliance rose 3.9% for the biggest gain among S&P 500 stocks. Several retailers also gained ground. Target rose 3.1%, Ross Stores added 1.8%, Best Buy was up 2.5% and Dollar Tree gained 3.6%. Traders are watching to see whether retailers have a strong holiday season. The day after Christmas traditionally ranks among the top 10 biggest shopping days of the year, as consumers go online or rush to stores to cash in gift cards and raid bargain bins. U.S.-listed shares in Honda and Nissan rose 4.2% and 15.9%, respectively. The Japanese automakers announced earlier this week that the two companies are in talks to combine. Traders got a labor market update. U.S. applications for unemployment benefits held steady last week , though continuing claims rose to the highest level in three years, the Labor Department reported. Treasury yields turned mostly lower in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.58% from 4.59% late Tuesday. Major European markets were closed, as well as Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia. Trading was expected to be subdued this week with a thin slate of economic data on the calendar. Still, U.S. markets have historically gotten a boost at year’s end despite lower trading volumes. The last five trading days of each year, plus the first two in the new year, have brought an average gain of 1.3% since 1950. So far this month, the U.S. stock market has lost some of its gains since President-elect Donald Trump’s win on Election Day, which raised hopes for faster economic growth and more lax regulations that would boost corporate profits. Worries have risen that Trump’s preference for tariffs and other policies could lead to higher inflation , a bigger U.S. government debt and difficulties for global trade. Even so, the U.S. market remains on pace to deliver strong returns for 2024. The benchmark S&P 500 is up roughly 26% so far this year and remains near its most recent all-time high it set earlier this month — its latest of 57 record highs this year. Wall Street has several economic reports to look forward to next week, including updates on pending home sales and home prices, a report on U.S. construction spending and snapshots of manufacturing activity. AP Business Writers Elaine Kurtenbach and Matt Ott contributed.
