It is among Nebraska's three data center project sites that over five years has seen nearly $4.4 billion in capital investment. This year's investment was reported to be $930 million, the company said at a media event. (Cindy Gonzalez/Nebraska Examiner) LINCOLN — Now five years since Google built a physical presence in Nebraska, the tech giant on Monday announced its latest annual spend on infrastructure across the state: $930 million. The 2024 capital investment makes for a total so far of about $4.4 billion in Nebraska data centers to help meet growing demand for Google Cloud, artificial intelligence innovations and services such as the company’s search, maps and workspace programs, said spokesman Dan Harbeke. Just within the past few months, he said, Google’s sprawling data center site in northwest Omaha became operational but is not finished growing. Its newest data center project in Lincoln remains under construction on roughly 580 acres. And the original Google campus in Nebraska, a Papillion project that broke ground on 275 acres in late 2019, has continued to expand in various ways. “We’re effectively continuing to build out those footprints,” said Harbeke, regional head of public policy and external affairs. “We are not announcing any new sites this year but we are announcing continued growth and expansion across all three sites here in Nebraska.” Also during a news event Monday, Google announced a different kind of investment — philanthropic donations to support workforce development. Such contributions are separate and in addition to construction improvements, Harbeke said. Google.org , for instance, granted $250,000 to the University of Nebraska Foundation to support AI research and education across its campuses. Earlier this month, Google’s philanthropic arm also provided Creighton University with a $250,000 grant to support the private university’s efforts to prepare students for expanded uses of artificial intelligence. Company officials on Monday also described a $100,000 donation to the Lincoln Public Schools Foundation’s Spark Summer Camp program, which targets elementary school students interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. NU President Jeffrey Gold said the university gift underscores the shared commitment to harnessing the power of AI to ensure Nebraska is on the cutting edge of research, teaching and use. “Our hope is that this investment in Nebraska will lead to opportunities for economic growth and innovation,” Gold said. Lincoln Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird said investment in programs such as Spark underscores the Capital City’s “growing reputation” as a place for innovation and opportunity. “Google is helping to prepare Lincoln’s students and workforce for a rapidly evolving future,” she said. Google officials declined to provide detail on how the $930 million breaks down between data center sites. They also declined to disclose the number of employees per site but in a media statement said more than 120 jobs for Nebraskans have been created since 2019, in a variety of full time and external supplier roles, including computer technicians, engineers, maintenance and food service jobs. Harbeke said Google has started to see worker mobility and advancement within the state and the Omaha metro area, which includes the more established Council Bluffs plant. “We’re five years into our Nebraska footprint ... you’re seeing that movement among Googlers across these sites, which has been really neat to see,” Harbeke said. “One of the folks who is going to be leading our Lincoln campus worked out of our Papillion site.” U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts, R-Neb., who joined Google officials Monday, said the Google technology investment gives the state a “competitive global advantage.” “These are the jobs of the future and they’re coming here to Nebraska,” he said. Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., called Google a driver for secure U.S. infrastructure. “The importance of innovation in national security and AI between the public and private sectors cannot be understated and we’re working on that right here in Nebraska,” he said. Karen Dahut, CEO of Google public sector, said the Google data centers are essential to delivering cutting-edge products to a wide range of organizations that include government and educational institutions as well as the individual consumer. The computer-filled hubs are the engines that power technology and make local and global connections happen 24-7, Google said in a report about data centers . They are where Gmail and YouTube videos live. They are what keep the internet up and running. “We are grateful for the partnership from leaders across Nebraska as we have grown within the state,” Dahut said. “I look forward to exploring more opportunities to bring the power of Google Cloud’s technology to support the important missions of the public sector.” SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX Originally published on nebraskaexaminer.com , part of the BLOX Digital Content Exchange .

Social Security tackles overpayment ‘injustices,’ but problems remain
Tottenham ’s middling form continued with a scrappy 1-1 draw with Rangers in the Europa League . Dejan Kulusevski came off the bench at half-time and scored a 75th-minute equaliser to rescue a point for Ange Postecoglou ’s depleted Spurs on the former Celtic boss’ return to Glasgow. Hamza Igamane gave Rangers a deserved lead at the start of the second half and they looked set to heap the pressure on Postecoglou before Kulusevski’s cool finish. Here are three Spurs talking points from the match... An uninspiring draw at Ibrox stopped the rot but did little to lift the mood at Tottenham, extending their rough patch of form to one win in eight matches. This did not, admittedly, feel like a must-win game for Spurs – at least not in the same way as Sunday’s visit to rock-bottom Southampton and the Carabao Cup quarter-final at home to Manchester United next Thursday – and Postecoglou can probably be relieved to have escaped from enemy territory with a point and no (obvious) fresh injuries. Spurs’ limp performance, especially for the first hour, will be a concern to the head coach, however, while a third straight European match without a win leaves Spurs in a slightly precarious position in the Europa League. They remain outside the top eight and probably need to win their final two matches against Hoffenheim and IF Elfsborg to definitely avoid a hugely unwanted two-legged play-off in February. As Spurs stutter in the league, the cups grow in importance and, if Postecoglou's side remain in mid-table, it will be much easier to feel positive about their season if they continue to progress in the domestic cups and are safely through to the Europa League knockouts. Postecoglou described Spurs’ current injury crisis as the worst he has faced in a 30-year coaching career, with the Australian without six injured players for his return to Glasgow. But Spurs still had more than enough quality in the XI to see off Rangers, particularly with Philippe Clement’s side preparing for a cup final on Sunday. The visitors, though, were abject for the first hour of the game and had Fraser Forster to thank (again) for keeping them in the match. The goalkeeper made a string of fine saves before Kulusevski’s equaliser, and denied Rangers what would surely have been a late winner with a brilliant stop from Cyriel Dessers. At the other end, Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner and Heung-min Son were desperately ineffective as a front three, offering nothing in the way of fight and thrust. The introduction of Dominic Solanke on the hour helped to give Spurs a focal point up front and a foothold in the game, and it was the England striker who squared for fellow substitute Kulusevski to level the game with a cool first-time finish. It is, though, concerning how reliant Spurs are on the pair, leaving Postecoglou effectively unable to rest Kulusevski and Solanke without an alarming drop-off in his side. With Wilson Odobert, Richarlison and Mikey Moore not expected to be available until the New Year, Spurs need some of their other players to start stepping up. The absence of Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Ben Davies left the Spurs manager to rely on Radu Dragusin and teenager Archie Gray at centre-back – for the first of what is likely to be a mini run in the team for the pair. Gray, who hails from a Celtic-supporting family, has caught the eye in this competition this season although this was an occasionally difficult night for the 18-year-old. While he did not look out of place, Gray was skinned by Dessers late on, with Forster’s outstretched foot sparing Spurs’ blushes. Dragusin, meanwhile, was shaky again, more than once inviting pressure with loose passes out from the back and lucky to avoid a second yellow card for a clumsy late challenge. No one for Spurs was at their best, to be fair, and Gray and Dragusin are capable of raising their levels – but much sterner tests lie ahead, starting on Sunday.Indiana State Parks offering free admission Nov. 29
Dear Eric: My husband and I are in our 70s and retired to a new community. We are engaged in church ministries and social groups that meet for dinner periodically. I volunteer and he is an avid golfer. My problem is not being able to turn new relationships into meaningful friendships. I have met many wonderful people but have a problem getting close with anyone. Any suggestions? — Feeling Isolated Dear Isolated: I know it doesn’t feel like it, but you’re not alone. Many adults struggle to make the deep connections they want, especially later in life or in new communities. I turned to my friend and friendship expert Anna Goldfarb, author of “Modern Friendship: How to Nurture Our Most Valued Connections.” Here’s what she advises: “One of the best strategies for deepening a friendship is to provide what researchers call social identity support, which is seeing your friends for all the roles they play in their life: their race, class, gender and religion. This could look like asking to try their favorite dishes they grew up eating, including them in your cultural traditions and signaling that you’d like to be a part of theirs, too. “Another strategy is to recruit an accountability buddy. Identify a meaningful goal you both want to achieve — moving your body more, learning how to knit, watching every Matt Damon movie in chronological order — whatever floats your boat. Your friendship will deepen as you cheer on one another because you’re more invested in your successes.” Goldfarb told me, and I agree, that you’re off to a great start. So, you should congratulate yourself on making the effort and for continuing to try. It’s not always easy or as straightforward as we’d like, but you’re on the right path. Dear Eric: I enjoy your column and would like to make a comment regarding the letter from “Game Off” regarding her frustrations with her 10-year-old grandnephew who plays video games while on family vacation. I agree family time is important, and, in her own home, she should negotiate something with her niece so she can spend time with her grandnephew during visits. However, she’s completely out of touch regarding gaming. Many colleges now have competitive gaming teams supported by computing and graphic design faculty and they operate out of the athletics department just like other teams — it’s called “esports” and is becoming a big business. Her grandnephew may be headed to a successful career down the road through gaming. — Game Time Dear Game Time: You’re right, it’s all about balance. The letter writer can and should communicate her needs and wants regarding family visits. But she should also remain open to parenting choices that may not be what she would do in a similar circumstance. Additionally, while moderation is important when making decisions about gaming, you’re correct that it’s a growing and sometimes lucrative field of study and competition. The first esports college scholarship was given out in 2014 and there are currently more than 250 varsity-level esports programs across the United States and Canada, per the National Association of Collegiate Esports. Send questions to R. Eric Thomas at eric@askingeric.com . Get local news delivered to your inbox!n Finland we have a saying "kell’ onni on, se onnen kätkeköön". In short, it means "whoever has found happiness, that happiness she should hide". At first hearing, you’d be forgiven for thinking that this doesn’t sound very but it is phrases like this that I believe have contributed to making Finland the world’s happiest country for the last six years. Not wanting to ignore this correlation, I have spent some time reflecting on what it is to be Finnish help others maximize their happiness. It feels fitting that I write this as CEO of an organization dedicated to measuring happiness for businesses. Yes, those smiley-faced feedback buttons you see in airports and stores, that’s our Finnish company, HappyOrNot. I must start by saying that this happiness title is not I can assure you that Finns would never be so as to come up with this. On the contrary, we regularly pinch ourselves as a reminder that we live in what is to be the happiest place on earth. In reality, this title is part of a UN-backed list released annually called the World Happiness Report. To this point, I must that my observations in this piece don’t guarantee the secret sauce to happiness, although considering them can’t hurt. If you haven’t visited my homeland, let me paint a picture. as the "Land of a Thousand Lakes", living in Finland is perfect for those who want to see or be surrounded by nature. If you like like I do, then there’s no shortage of paths to explore. This leads me to my first point. Nature. Spending time outdoors and away from screens is in today’s world. I often find myself glued to a screen, only to be pulled away from the hypnosis by a family member reminding me that the outdoors is just as Finding a connection to nature may seem a bit too spiritual for some, but it’s hard to deny that it plays a major part in occupational and societal stresses. It’s not to say everyone needs to go hiking, but five minutes in a park a day is better than 30 additional minutes scrolling through TikTok. is another important part of contentment for Finns. Our climate can be pretty at times, the snow and bitter arctic winds make for long, dark winters. I often wonder why on earth our ancestors decided to stay here? It must have been a beautiful summer when they decided to This is where "sisu" comes in. Perhaps the most famous Finnish concept, sisu is defined as the combination of determination, courage, and It can also be used to define the ability to push through adversity and reach your limits. In 2022, a blockbuster action thriller movie was named after it. Ultimately, the action of pushing oneself and almost always leads to a greater sense of accomplishment. I recall channeling sisu when I ran a 100-mile ultra-marathon. I was experiencing major energy absorption issues and was at rock bottom. I remember asking myself, "Why did I decide to put my body through this again?" and I even called my wife to tell her to not let me ever sign up for over-100-mile races ever again. Upon reflection, I’m glad I had the sisu mentality to push on and finish the race. On another level, I think Finns benefit from not spending lots of time over-worrying. What I mean by this is, that as a society we place a huge amount of value in trust. An example is our flexible working practices. As a leader, I am trusted to do my job, and I trust employees to do theirs in a way that suits them best. This is also our attitude towards leadership. Managers are encouraged to think how they can serve their team members to deliver their best. As a result, I and others are less with what other people are doing. Instead, it’s a culture where I can focus on how I can do my job to the best of my ability. This freedom and trust transcend the workplace too. Say you leave your wallet on the bus, in Finland, it’s almost guaranteed you’ll get it back. This was put to the test in 2022 by Reader’s Digest, when an honesty test conducted in Helsinki found 11 out of 12 wallets were returned to the owner. It was later concluded that this was also the highest return rate in the world per the study. Sure, unfortunate things still happen, and life throws unexpected challenges at us, but this positive mentality and trust a much greater sense of happiness and It also frees up space to more difficult issues when they do arise. Again, it’s not to say that this is everyone’s reality. But being able to how much I worry about things that are outside of my control has certainly been a positive thing for me. Next, is family and work. Being a parent and husband, I know that my happiness to that of my family. If I work late and on weekends, that is time sacrificed at the expense of others. I’ve always been aware of that Respecting everyone’s right to time off is another way that we as Finns maintain our happiness levels. I strongly believe that having fun and enjoying free time boosts workplace contribution, and that’s why a healthy work-life balance is vital. On average, Finnish employees are entitled to 4-5 weeks holiday. It gives us all the chance to recharge our batteries, and staff can come back to work well rested, with fresh ideas and perspectives. Last, but not least, is not being overly competitive. Yes, a competitive attitude can be a great motivator, but it’s important to not let that become the sole focus. Going back to the start of my article, this idea of being happy, but not it, is exactly what separates Finns from a lot of other cultures. One can be ambitious and at the same time and feel content in life. Here are a couple of instances. When I was a kid, I wanted to be an author. I spent a huge amount of time reading and writing. In my mind, the dream was to write imaginative stories and use beautiful rich language. Over the years, my dream job switched from author, to becoming an architect. Then later a business strategist. I was taught that success and happiness doing what one loves. Now, the world of social media has taken over. Today, a large majority of society views success through a very different lens. Unfortunately, as a result, money and influence are now the measurements of success. As for social media, guides and shortcuts to fame and fortune circulate on repeat. This has left many chasing a dream that is extremely hard to achieve, and to a degree, one that can never be Worst of all, this pursuit certainly doesn’t guarantee happiness either. I once had the pleasure of for students graduating from a high school. I told them to listen to their hearts. Take control of your studies and work on topics that fire you up, that’s what creates happiness. In Finland, being famous or wealthy isn’t something that There’s nothing to say you shouldn’t or can’t be, but culturally there is a knowledge that these things aren’t what define us, or our happiness. Instead, we more quiet contentment. A good reminder of this was when I realized there was a major difference between business leaders’ cars in the U.S and Finland. Often, in the States, the leader’s car represents the company’s success and future aspirations. A fancy car equals a solid company with a bright future. Over here, a flashy car can be associated with arrogance, or a company indicating its superiority. A good example of the Finnish way is a very successful business owner who had a Ferrari. Yet, when it came to visiting his customers, he would drive his old rusty compact car to highlight that he is still the same person, and that his value should not be judged by the possessions he has acquired. It may come as a surprise, but even with this happiness philosophy we are still home to some very successful companies. Nokia was born in Finland, as were the much younger tech companies Supercell and Oura—the latter making its name by developing smart rings that can track a wearer’s sleep and health. if we Finns will retain our position as the World’s Happiest Country. I must admit that holding the title has certainly encouraged a great deal of introspection. I know there are a lot of people around the world at present, so either way, the report is a perfect reminder that happiness is something we all deserve. – podnoszący na duchu – w celu, mając na celu – samozwańczy – odważny, śmiały – sądzić, uważać – zgłosić zastrzeżenie – trafnie nazywany/określany – biegi przełajowe – nie lada wyczyn – zniewalający, urzekający – łagodzić, ulżyć (np. ból) – pokonać przeciwności losu – okrutny, bezlitosny – osiedlać się – siła woli – wytrwać (w czymś) – pochłonięty, zaabsorbowany – rozwijać, wspierać, sprzyjać (czemuś) – zadowolenie – uporać się, stawiać czoło (np. problemom) – łagodzić, uspokajać, zmniejszać – być nierozerwanie związanym – kompromis – chwalić się – skromny – pochodzić z/od czegoś – osiągać (np. cel) – wygłaszać mowę inauguracyjną – mieć sens, być logicznym – dążyć do czegoś – to się okaże – borykać się z trudnościami and answer the following questions: 1.

Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt said that one of Donald Trump ‘s first priorities in office should be to exact revenge. He suggested that Trump get rid of any Justice Department employees who were involved in cases that brought charges against the former president. “First and foremost, the people involved with this should be fired immediately,” Schmitt, who was a contender for Trump’s attorney general nomination, said on Sunday’s Meet the Press. “Anybody part of this effort to keep President Trump off the ballot and to throw him in jail for the rest of his life because they didn’t like his politics and to continue to cast him as a quote, unquote threat to democracy was wrong, and so we’ll see where that goes,” he added. Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is leading criminal investigations into Trump’s role in attempting to subvert the 2020 election and his handling of classified documents, has said he plans to wind down his efforts ahead of Trump’s inauguration due to the “unprecedented circumstance” that the defendant was elected president. The Justice Department has long upheld a policy of not prosecuting presidents. Smith could still author a report on his findings, but Attorney General Merrick Garland would decide whether or not to release it publicly. Trump has threatened he will fire Smith and his entire team within “two seconds” of returning to power. This past August, Trump re-shared a post on Truth Social that said Smith “should be prosecuted for election interference & prosecutorial misconduct.” As Rolling Stone reported in August , Trump has planned since 2021 — when he left office — to indict those he perceives to be his enemies. In addition to Smith, that includes Garland, President Joe Biden, FBI Director Christopher Wray, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and others. Trump continued to threaten retribution during the 2024 presidential campaign. “There are almost too many targets to keep track of,” a Trump adviser familiar with the discussions told Rolling Stone. Pam Bondi is Trump’s choice for attorney general following former Rep. Matt Gaetz’s withdrawing his own nomination due to allegations in a House Ethics Committee report that he had sex multiple times with a 17-year-old. Bondi has endorsed Trump’s revenge plans, telling Fox News’ Sean Hannity in 2023 that when Trump returns to the White House, “the Department of Justice, the prosecutors, will be prosecuted.” “The investigators will be investigated,” Bondi added, “because the deep state — last term for President Trump — they were hiding in the shadows. But now they have a spotlight on them, and they can all be investigated and the house needs to be cleaned out.” Schmitt said he will be a “yes” vote on Bondi’s nomination. He also confirmed he will vote to confirm Trump’s choices of Fox News commentator Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence.
