If you already have an M1 Mac, here are the difference between the M1 and M2 to help you decide if the upgrade is worth it. If you're comparing the M2 and the M3, you can see our full breakdown comparing the two .

This retractable USB-C charger is my new favorite travel accessory (and it's on sale for Black Friday)A governance and accountability group on the platform of Association of Ebonyi Indigenes Socio-Cultural in the Diaspora (AEISCID) has cautioned Governor Francis Nwifuru-led administration in Ebonyi State not to stifle the opposition but rather change the direction of his government from directionless. The Ebonyi indigenes also declared that those who were taking time and pain to point out where the government is not getting it right in governance wish for the good and success of the administration. The diaspora group was reacting to recent public observations made by the 2023 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Ifeanyi Odii, and the counter reactions of the Ebonyi State government to the Odii’s cautions. In a statement on Sunday, signed by the AEISCID’s president general, Amb. Pascal Oluchukwu, he urged the media handlers of the state government and a group described as “amorphous cum dark agents (Unwuekumaenyi forum) to display wisdom and restraints” in their stomach-infrastructure-toned media reactions. “The government’s media handlers should learn how to address issues raised against it with factual and evidence-based details without necessarily calling names or abusing individuals whose public and even private accomplishments they can never attain. “In actual sense, we believe that those who are taking time and pain to point out where the government is not getting it right in governance wishes for the good and success of the administration. They must therefore not be regarded as hopeless, sore and bitter losers whose ideas should never count or be counted. Respected Ebonyians like the PDP candidate, Odii, popularly known as Anyichuks is an accomplished industrialist well known in Nigeria and beyond for his entrepreneurial spirit and achievements. “Therefore, to describe such an accomplished and outstanding Ebonyian like Odii- a man who Ebonyians massively voted for, outing in quest for the number one seat in the State in the manner and tone the rather faceless urchins operating under an amorphous platform like ‘Unwuekumenyi’ did is reprehensible and condemnable,” Oluchukwu stated. The statement also warned against embarking on projects that have no direct bearing on the lives of Ebonyi people. According to Oluchukwu, most of the policies and programmes of the Nwifuru-led government seemed largely uncoordinated and directionless. Like the PDP carefully noted, the government merely seemed to be in a hurry to impress the rich through its profligate spendings, not only neglecting the peculiar needs, interests and welfare of the poor masses they were elected to serve. “Sadly, this is even in the midst of the very excruciating poverty and economic downturn that Nigeria is currently facing. “We wish to finally caution that the government of Rt. Hon. Nwifuru not tow the inglorious path of stifling the voices of opposition no matter how reasonable or unreasonable they may think such views may sound. The reason is because democracy as a system of government allows for plurality of opinions and the voice of oppositions is crucial to redirecting any government in power to do things right and better for its people. “To this end therefore, we demand an apology from the so-called amorphous ‘Unwuekumenyi’ forum on the person and personality of Anyichuks just as we call for caution against such inflammatory comments in the future. The interest of a better future for our dear State should supersede prebendal and clannish interests as this group and Spokespersons of the Ebonyi State government tried to levitatingly represent.” Specifically, the statement added: “AEISCID has always maintained that the airport project was not on a priority list of a poverty-ridden State like ours. Moreso, having been part of the previous administration and even played crucial roles in approving funds request for the white elephant airport project. “We expected the Nwifuru-led administration to take note of the salient points made by the group and indeed, other well-meaning Ebonyians and accordingly adjust it’s policy direction in a manner that it can positively impact the common man rather than lavishing our scare resources on the already rich, thriving and expired political stakeholders who have been ripping the State off since the return of democracy.”The last paycheque from a decades-long career arrives next Friday and the nest egg you built during those working years will now turn into a main source of income. It can be a jarring switch from saving for retirement to spending in retirement. Financial experts say that transition is a process. People need to psychologically prepare for retirement, says Kurt Rosentreter, senior financial adviser at Manulife Wealth. "It's not just stop one day and all of a sudden, start living off your savings," he said. Forecasting how much money you'll need for the next two to three decades and figuring out how to spend that money in your golden years can be challenging. Rosentreter said setting up a plan for retirement spending starts at least two years before bowing out of the job. That means knowing your cost of living, tax impacts and how to live off passive investment income or rental property income for the rest of your retired life. "All of a sudden, your food money and everything else -- your fund money -- is now tied to the stock market, bond market, politics, economics, tax rates," Rosentreter said. "That's pretty intimidating." Having confidence in your planned retirement cashflows is crucial when switching from saving to spending mode -- and helps maintain calm when stocks and bonds aren't doing well, Rosentreter said. "A written plan that says, 'Here's how much you have, here's how you will access it over the next month, next year, next 10 years, the rest of your life,"' Rosentreter said. Rosentreter asks his clients to split their costs of living into four categories -- fixed core costs such as shelter, utility bills, gas and food; fixed variable costs such as birthday gifts; discretionary expenses such as dining out and luxury costs such as driving an expensive SUV. "You start with the mathematics of what their cost of living is," he said. "You can't head into retirement without the numbers." Rosentreter then helps forecast cash flows to age 100 with all the information on expenses and income, he said. Marlene Buxton, the principal fee-only certified financial plannerat Buxton Financial for Retirement, agrees that having a plan is important in reducing the stress of spending. People often move a large amount of money into a checking account and spend from that, she said. "But when that happens, watching the value decrease each month, it's not psychologically good." Deciding which pot to tap into first depends on a person's retirement goals, Buxton said. For example, if a person has a locked-in retirement account, Buxton recommends moving it to a life income fund upon retirement and drawing income from it every month. A retiree can also withdraw a minimal amount from a registered retirement fund to supplement their income. Other income sources can be defined benefit pension plans and tax-free savings. Then, move to CPP and OAS at age 70, she added. Even when people think they have ample savings, there's a level of stress and some even begin to limit their day-to-day spending, Buxton said. But day-to-day spending is not what puts a dent in savings, she added. "It's the larger decisions around how long before downsizing or when to begin certain benefits such as CPP or OAS or what age to retire," that affects retirement cash flow, she said. Rosentreter said retirees need to revisit their cash flow plans once a year and gauge their progress. "You need some kind of dashboard that isn't just investment statements that come at the end of the month and show you (whether you're) up or you're down," he said. Financial plans can also change if someone gets divorced, widowed, or has health issues, Rosentreter said. "Whatever the factors are, you just have to kind of work that into the mathematical calculations," he said. "In the end, it's putting all this on a spreadsheet and working with it and moving the numbers back and forth to see where it works based on what starts the conversation," Rosentreter said.

Global energy executive joins Prometheus Hyperscale to accelerate sustainable data center growth and provide strategic counsel on $10B flagship project in Evanston, Wyoming HOUSTON , Nov. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Prometheus Hyperscale, a leading developer of sustainable hyperscale data centres, is delighted to announce the appointment of Bernard Looney as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Looney, former CEO of BP, brings to the role more than three decades of energy sector expertise – from the frontline to the boardroom. He will provide strategic guidance on the development of the company's growth plans, including its $10B flagship data center in Evanston, Wyoming , which will be among the largest facilities of its kind in the world when completed. The announcement of Mr. Looney's appointment comes as societies and large technology companies grapple with how to power the explosive growth in artificial intelligence (AI). The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that by 2026 data centers globally will use over 1,000 terawatt-hours (TWh) annually, around the same as Japan uses today. Against this backdrop of soaring demand and squeezed supply, Prometheus is pioneering new standards in hyperscale data center operations. These approaches include harnessing a variety of energy sources to power its data centers, including renewables, natural gas and possibly nuclear at a later date through our strategic partnership with Oklo. Prometheus aims for its data centers to not impact grid customers. Another key challenge is the enormous amount of power and water used to cool data centers to prevent the servers from overheating. Prometheus Hyperscale uses a unique liquid cooling system that dramatically outperforms traditional air-cooling methods, reducing energy consumption by up to 50%. This system also utilises deep underground water reservoirs and captures the waste heat to reuse or sequester it. It's believed that Prometheus Hyperscale's flagship project will be the first hyperscale data center in the United States to combine liquid heat transfer and heat reuse technologies. Founded by Trenton Thornock , an experienced leader in energy, finance and infrastructure, Prometheus Hyperscale's flagship project in Evanston, Wyoming , promises to be the most advanced sustainable data center in the United States , and one of the largest in the world, when it becomes operational in 2025/26. The 1GW-capacity developed site will cover an area of 640-acres (one square mile), making it approximately three quarters the size of New York's Central Park. Four further sites are currently earmarked across Arizona and Colorado . As Chairman, Mr. Looney will ensure the successful execution of Evanston as well as Prometheus's broader business goals. His appointment comes following the recent announcement that Trevor Neilson , a renowned climate technology entrepreneur and philanthropist, will serve as the company's President. It's estimated that $1 trillion will be invested in the U.S. in data centers in the next five years – with an additional $1 trillion internationally. Trenton Thornock , Founder and CEO of Prometheus Hyperscale commented: "Having Bernard Looney join as Chairman is a tremendous step forward for Prometheus. Bernard's track record and transformative leadership in the energy sector aligns perfectly with our vision for the future of data centers. His insights, as well as his extensive operational and project delivery experience, will be invaluable as we bring our flagship project in Evanston, Wyoming to life and set new benchmarks for sustainable digital infrastructure." Trevor Neilson , President of Prometheus Hyperscale, commented: "Bernard is the perfect person to guide Prometheus as we form partnerships across the energy sector to access low-carbon electrons that will power the future of AI. His extensive industry experience and leadership will be instrumental as Prometheus establishes itself at the forefront of sustainable data center operations." Bernard Looney commented: "I am delighted to join Prometheus Hyperscale at this pivotal moment as the world grapples with the intersection of AI, Energy and Sustainability. Innovative power solutions are desperately needed to ensure that AI is unleashed to tackle some of the biggest global challenges including healthcare, economic growth, and the energy transition. We must work to find solutions that lead to Net Positive AI – where the benefits to our world outweigh any costs. The flagship Evanston project is one such solution and I look forward to lending a helping hand, working alongside Trenton, Trevor, and the entire Prometheus team to help bring this vision to life. I can't imagine a more exciting challenge."

C.J. Stroud threw two interceptions, the defense gave up multiple big passing plays and Ka′imi Fairbairn missed a 28-yard field goal that would . “Just a disappointing loss for us,” coach DeMeco Ryans said. “We didn’t do anything well enough to win this game. Out of all the positives that we did have, there were way too many negatives, too many negative plays.” for a touchdown in the third quarter and the Texans tied a franchise record with eight sacks. Danielle Hunter led the group with a season-high three sacks and Will Anderson Jr. added two in his return after missing two games with an ankle injury. But the offense sputtered for most of the game as Joe Mixon was held to 22 yards on 14 carries. But Ryans refused to blame the offense for the loss. “Our offense did plenty,” Ryans said. “They gave us enough points. On defense, we have to be able to stop them.” Chig Okonkwo grabbed a short pass and rumbled 70 yards for a touchdown to put the Titans (3-8) up 30-27 with 9 1/2 minutes remaining. Safety Eric Murray missed a tackle that would have stopped him near midfield. It was the last of three big passing plays the Titans had Sunday. Nick Westbrook-Ikhine got in front of the defense and was wide open for a 38-yard TD catch that made it 10-7 late in the first quarter. Calvin Ridley had a 63-yard reception that set up their next touchdown in the second. “It was just way too many negative plays,” Ryans said. “Defensively, unexplainable explosives for touchdowns. We didn’t play good across the board and that starts with me.” Despite this, the Texans (7-5) had a chance to tie it with less than two minutes remaining, but Fairbairn’s short field-goal attempt sailed wide left. He fell to the ground after the miss before getting up and slamming his helmet on the field. “The most frustrating part about it is out of all the bad things that happened, we still had a chance to finish the game,” Ryans said. “Everything that could go wrong, it went wrong. We still had a chance there to tie it up and finish the game, and we didn’t.” The Texans forced a three-and-out, but couldn’t move the ball after that and Harold Landry sacked Stroud in the end zone for a safety to make it 32-27 and allow Tennessee to snap a two-game skid. Stroud threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns, but his two interceptions Sunday give him five combined in the past three games. He now has more interceptions in 12 games this season (nine) than he had in 15 games as a rookie last season (five). “It’s no secret that I haven’t been playing well ... I’ve got to be harder on myself,” he said. “I’m not going to hold my head down. I know I can be a great player, but I’ve got to make better plays.” ___ AP NFL:
