Well, NRG Energy at the top of the ranking is the best performer in the S&P 500 so far this year. The Texas Energy Giant up to about 73% so far, and the company has recently announced a $ 12 billion deal to acquire LS Power electricity assets. Here with more about this game of the Data Center, let’s get to Jeffrese Director Julian Dumulian Smith, who is joining us now to discuss. Julian, and it’s ridiculous that we just talked about Meta, because obviously one of the things that used to drive NRG and many other gaming games is that thirst for nourishing data centers. But the energy overtook them this year. What do you think is the great catalyst or catalysts for this superiority?

02:06 Julian Dumulin Smith

Yes, um and thanks a lot for the time. Look, I think in summary, if I had to put it briefly, you have three or four factors, but it really is the data center factor that leads to the superiority here. Look, I use NRG as a turtle vs. rabbit, right? I want to say that you have many other energy companies, utility companies that worked very well 2024, a lot of fashion. This company is very first in the formulation of its plans with regard to data centers. It really started to bear some fruits just this year. So when you think about the UM expectations and update, which was announced a little more earlier this week, it was not just the acquisition of LS Power. It was also a number of different data points on how the company is positioned around the data centers, with the more voltage outlines the main stages of the year. So, I think it was a half reaction to an accrective transaction, but just as a very favorable update to some of the activities of the Data Center they want to do in partnership with new construction with GE Renova to build several new power plants in the decade.

04:28 Speaker b

Can I just ask you, the move in this stock is remarkable. I mean, Palaantir like, right? It is almost 75%this year. But I know you when you talk to your customers, you say that this is still a purchase here. So, you would obviously argue that the assessment is still very attractive.

05:06 Julian Dumulin Smith

Yes, I mean, look, use the turtle against the hair. People wanted to go, you know, much more financially and operated last year. This company did not attract so much attention to people. They were perceived as a company for powerless force. They had some diversification in other segments, so it was not really the stock of the data center that many people had taken until the last few months. I mean, I remember when we upgraded stocks in the fall, people thought we were a little about why would you get involved in this thing for the construction of the Data Center? Still, they have some of the most recently CODs and services for part of the construction of gas plants there, uh, compared to their IPP peers. And then B, look, I think just when you look at the grades and evaluate revisions, this company probably has some of the most tangible potential, especially with some of these other energy companies, right? If you want exposure to this sector, you know, they just said they were 14 plus a percent EPS. This guide will be directed higher. Our numbers have a 16% plus EPS growth over the decade. You don’t understand this with many other shares, let alone this assessment. I want to say, you know, until the last few days the shares have been at a significant discount over this type of growth rate. Moreover, street numbers are obviously too low for a while. And I still think, you know, even today, when people internalize this transaction, the numbers will continue to focus higher. Guide, I think as soon as 2Q can talk about reviewing its guidelines for a full year. Immediately after 3q, we could talk about a review of long -term guidance even more. They left some clues at the last call. Look, I don’t think it’s just a pony trick like data centers. Moreover, you have a noise stock from different data points, which will materialize almost with a specific quarterly cada throughout the year.

08:12 Spokesman a

Julian, I’m curious when it comes to data centers. We had something like deals in deals, it is not yet a flood of deals between some of these energy operators and major technologies. And of course, the highest profile, Microsoft and the plan for a restarted reactor for the island of three miles. So, do we expect such species what they call the front of the meter transactions, the unregulated UM deals with a company like NRG and Big Technology? Like what we have been waiting for more than those who come, right?

09:20 Julian Dumulin Smith

Yes, no, absolutely. I mean, I think we’re still. I want to say that we are waiting for both through energy companies and communal companies this year to see some of these data points are prolonged. Oh, this summer will be a decisive moment. Look, we saw a stable murder from them. It may not be in the right permutation as you, but I think the street is very desirable as it may not be as concentrated with selected counterparties as the street is seen. We have seen a little more diversification more recently, perhaps more in some of the regulated markets than even with energy companies. But this company in particular, you know, I think the expectations were very low to very late. And this is something interesting for this company. It was something like the dark horse, if you will. And so I think there is such a sharp move in the stock. It’s kind of catching up. That’s why I don’t turn my head and I’m like, look, don’t you know, don’t be too nervous here. This only follows the leader of other companies, which clearly reflect even more propormations the expectations of the data center than that stock after its last implementation. This is important to keep in mind here.

• In April, the industrial average of Dow Jones and the S&P 500 fell into the correction territory, while the NASDAQ Composite immersed a full -fledged bear market.

• Numerous catalysts, including President Donald Trump’s tariff policy (often changing), caused famous attacks of Wall Street instability.

• Historic two -day dues in the S&P 500 traditionally lead to a huge return on opportunistic and optimistic investors.

• 10 shares we like better than the S&P 500 ›

There is no shortage of ways of investors to develop their nominal wealth, including the purchase of real estate, the purchase of a bond of the Ministry of Finance or a deposit certificate (CD) or investing their money for work in various goods such as gold, silver and oil. However, no assets have achieved a higher average annual return in the last century of the shares.

Despite Dow Jones Industrial Average (Djindices: ^DJI)wide -based S&P 500 (Snpindex: ^gspc)and growth Nasdaq Composite (Nasdaqindex: ^ixic) The point decisively higher, the higher view of the commercial activity shows that variability and uncertainty are completely normal to Wall Street.

As the S&P 500 standard reached February 19, Dow Jones and the S&P 500 (somewhat briefly) dive into the correction territory. In the meantime, the NASDAQ composite has entered its first bear market for three years.

Usually, stock market adjustments and bear markets are events for lifting eyebrows on their own. But the historical duel of instability in the bigger part of April is what stole the show.

Although historical instability can sometimes be a scary, an extremely unique S&P 500 event in April points to a clear direction for stocks that should have optimistic long -term investors smiling from ear to ear.

To put in context how many wild things were a few weeks last month, the S&P 500 registered its fifth largest two-day record of the 1950 record (3 and 4 April), as well as its 12th large four-day percentage of 75 years (April 3-April).

This short-term catastrophe on the stock exchange was followed on April 9 by Dow Jones, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite, registering its biggest profits from a one-week point after their respective perceptions. At a percentage base, it was the 19th, eighth and second best daily profit of all time for Dow, S&P 500 and NASDAQ, respectively.

This is what the historical instability of Wall Street looks like – and there are several culprits.

The Initial Catalyst That Sent the Major Indexes (Brief) Crashing Lower Was President Donald Trump’s Tariff Policy Reveal Following The Closing Bell on April 2. At The Time, Trump Unoveld “Reciprocal Tariffs” Aimed at a Few Dozen Countries That Had Traditionally Run Trade Deficits with the US IT SHOULD BE NOTED that Trump Reciprocal Tariffs for 90 Days On APril Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq jumped), as well as developed a 90-day reduction in reciprocal tariff with China earlier this week.

Investors are thirsty for predictability and they simply do not receive it from this administration. Trump’s tendency to displace tariffs, performance dates and which products/countries are subject to tariffs, keep Wall Street on the edge.

But the tariffs were not the only WhipSaw catalyst for stocks.

For example, the stock exchange entered in 2025 on one of its most valuable multiple estimates in history when they tested back for more than 150 years. The ratio of the price-printing of Schiller (P/E)-also known as a cyclic-adjusted ratio of P/E, or a nasal ratio on average by a multiple 17.24 of January 1871. In December 2024, it almost hit 39 during the current market cycle.

Historically, the S&P 500 Shiller P/E readings over 30 were the precursor to the possible drawback of at least 20%. When instability comes, premium estimates are inclined to pay the price. The problem is that these expensive businesses are often responsible for the higher fee on the stock market.

Beyond Trump’s tariffs and the historical precision of the stock exchange that enters 2025, investors demonstrate concern about American gross in gross domestic product, which shrinks by 0.3%, and the treasure bond gains a higher period.

As noted, wild dumbbells in one or more of Wall Street shares can be scary – especially if you are a new investor who has never had a short collapse or volatility of WhipSaw. But one of the strange oddities on the stock exchange is that some of his biggest profits are often found in many proximity to his biggest losses.

Based on data analyzed by Wells Fargo The Institute of Investment and Bloomberg from the daily changes in the prices of S&P 500 between February 1, 1994 and January 31, 2024, the bigger part of the best and 30 best days of the index occurred in the immediate vicinity of each other -and often during the decline in the bear market. This means that the steep decline in Wall Street indicator usually gave eye profits, not long after.

In April, the S&P 500 was immersed with 10.5% of the closing bell on April 2 to the closing bell on April 4. It was its fifth largest two-day percentage of 1950, and it was only the sixth time in 75 years that the wide index lost at least 10% of its value for a two-day period.

With the story demonstrating that the darkest days on the market tend to give their best returns, the main strategist of the Carson Group market Ryan Detrick has drawn future return on the shares (where applicable) for the S&P 500 after these six unique two-digit, two-day percentage declines.

As you can see from Detrick’s publication on the social media platform, there is a solid amount of green one month later. On average, the S&P 500 bounced by 8.3% after all six two -day, two -day declines.

But this decreases compared to what the S&P 500 did one year later after the five previous two-day drops at least 10%. The “highest” return was 18%a year later, with the average profit for the S&P 500, which was shaking 32.6%. To put this figure in the context, the average annual return of the S&P 500 of 1950, according to Detrick data, is only 9.2%. This means that the index has doubled to secure its average annual return after each previous two -day drop of at least 10%.

Moreover, Ryan Detrick’s publication hints at the disproportionate nature of the stock exchange cycles. Although investors can be busy with the possibility of correction of the stock markets or bears market, there is a large deviation between the duration of the Bull and Bears markets at Wall Street.

Almost two years ago, shortly after the S&P 500 was confirmed to be in a new bull market, Bespoke Investment Group researchers have published a set of data on X that calculates the calendar day in every S&P Bull Market since the start of the Great Depression (September 1929).

On the one hand, the middle market of the S&P 500 Bear has lasted only 286 calendar days or approximately 9.5 months. For comparison, the typical bull market has endured for 1011 calendar days or approximately 3.5 times longer. As hard as they seem to be the stock market, the story has firmly showed that being optimistic and taking a long approach is the way to create wealth.

The S&P 500 did something in April that witnessed only 6 times at 75 – and this indicates a very specific direction for shares, originally published by Motley Fool

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the Secretary of Health and Human Services, told Congress that he has directed the Food and Medicines Administration to review the regulations of the Mifepristone abortion pill, resenting reproductive rights after he cited an insufficient study of the widely used drugs.

“I asked Marty Makari, who is the director of the FDA, to do a full review and report back,” said Kennedy, a notorious skeptic and conspiracy theorist on vaccines and other public health issues, about listening to the Senate budget on Wednesday.

Makari is a former Fox News presenter known for claiming on national television that the fetus can “resist” abortion.

Kennedy confirmed that any drug decision will be informed by a deeply insufficient report published last month by conservative cerebral trust, although experts say the so-called study has a clear conflict of interest and has not been examined by the renewal of a man-by-a-do-up exam Center.

Health Secretary has continued to say that the new report, which claims, that 11% of Mifepristone users “experience sepsis, infection, bleeding” after its acceptance is “anxious” and “clearly shows that in [the] At least, the label must be changed. “

In addition to not reviewing, the report does not include its set of data and codes of the procedures, something that scientists told Huffpost last month is both unusual and makes it impossible for the other researchers to fully evaluate its methodology and the integrity of the report results.

Kennedy’s remarks were in response to questions from Senator Josh Hooley (R-Mo.), Which led the current fee to break down on Mifepristone. He celebrates Kennedy’s response on social media.

“It’s a lifelong win,” he said, sharing a video of their exchange.

Defenders of reproductive rights and experts say they are deeply concerned about Kennedy’s comments.

“It is clear that our rights are attacked. The outrageous proposal of RFK JR. that President Trump can decide whether people can have access to abortion medicines is only the beginning,” Alexis McGil Johnson, President and Executive Director of the Planned Parental Action Fund, said that the report is saying that the report is saying that the report.

Decades of MifePristone study have produced numerous reviews that have proven that Mifepristone is extremely safe and effective. Used in 63% of all abortions, the Gutmacher Institute opened last year, which is a remarkable 10% since 2020.

“Mifepriston, like any other medicine prescribed in the United States, goes through a strict approval process, prioritizing the safety and efficacy of drugs,” says Ashley Jeanlus, Ob-Gyn and an associate with reproductive health doctors.

“Due to the stigma that they take care of abortions in this country, thanks to politicians and employees against abortion, such as those who discuss fake reports today, Mifepristone has suffered even further control than other drugs,” she continued. “As an abortion supplier, I know that attacks against Mifepristone are attacks on the health and autonomy of patients I care every day.”

Kennedy’s comments on Wednesday are in accordance with what he said during his hearing to confirm in January: that President Donald Trump has directed him to study the safety of Mifepriston.

“President Trump asked me to study the safety of Mifepristone,” he said. “He still hasn’t dealt with how to regulate him. Whatever he does, I will implement these policies.”

Although the Kennedy Directive represents health effects for millions of people, he admitted to hearing on Wednesday that he is not an expert.

“I don’t think people should take medical advice from me,” he said three days after advertising that he was swimming in a sewer creek with his grandchildren.

• A new study suggests that moderate amounts of zinc can help slow down aging.

• Researchers have found that adding exercises can enhance the effects of zinc.

• It is worth noting that too much zinc can increase the speed of aging.

Many of us are constantly looking for ways to slow down or turn the aging and one thing that makes us age faster is inflammation. For example, we have previously reported studies that suggest that an anti-inflammatory diet may reduce the risk of cognitive damage-aging of the brain-from 21%. Another study also suggests that eating more antioxidant-rich foods are anti-inflammatory-they can help you live longer with a higher quality of life.

One of these anti -inflammatory nutrients is zinc, the main trace of the mineral you need to get from food or supplements, as the body does not do it on its own. Although you do not need a lot of zinc every day, this mineral, a functioning antioxidants, plays an important role in supporting DNA, healing wounds and immunity-all things that affect aging.

Scientists have jumped on the anti -aging tape, not only to prevent it, but also to measure it. Instruments that use algorithms to determine the biological age of people are already available and often used in studies. The biological age is defined as a chronological age decrease in biological functions, characterized by 12 biomarkers, which fall into three categories that can be measured with blood.

So, while chronological age is how old you are in years since birth, organic age is the speed at which your body is getting old. For example, the organic aging of a 48-year-old woman may be up to date with her chronological age-or may become slower or faster than an average 48-year-old woman.

Researchers from China wanted to know more about the role of zinc in organic aging, plus how exercises can change the effect of zinc on aging. They recently published their discoveries in the magazine Clinical nutritionS Let’s break them.

Connected: What is zinc and why do you need it? Here’s what nutritionists say

How was this study conducted?

The data was downloaded from British Biobank, a long -term study containing medical and lifestyle information for over 500,000 UK residents. For this study, researchers have attracted data on nearly 69,000 people who meet their criteria, which include sufficient information about the diet, physical activity and biomarkers to calculate organic age.

The participants were divided into two groups: one group without zinc intake and one with it. The zinc without zinc included over 35,000 people with an average age of 56; 46% are women. The zinc group included over 33,000 people with an average age of 56; About 65% are women.

Zinc intake is calculated on the basis of the nutritional records of participants and answers to questions about supplements. The quantities of zinc intake of participants were compared to the daily recommended intake of 11 mg per day for participants in men and at least 8 mg per day for participants of women, with not one over 40 mg per day. Over 40 mg/day is considered an overdose with zinc for both men and women.

The amount of the exercise is calculated on the basis of standard physical activity questionnaires and transposed into a metabolic equivalent of the task (MET). The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends at least 600 meetings a week, which is equivalent to at least 75 minutes of energetic physical activity per week or 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week.

Organic aging is calculated using the Anabl age tool, which, according to these researchers, is the most up-to-date tool for evaluating healthy aging from unhealthy aging and for predicting mortality for 5- and 10-year mortality markers.

The confusing factors that affect organic aging and will be corrected during statistical analyzes include gender, ethnicity group, BMI, family income, sleep disorders, smoking status, alcohol intake and cancer diagnosis history.

What did this study show?

In general, this study suggests that participants with delayed biological aging – which means that they are older – they are important to have higher levels of daily zinc intake than participants with accelerated aging. More substantially, those who receive the recommended amount of zinc every day show an average delay of 0.11 years in biological aging.

However, as with most things, it is no longer necessarily better, since those with zinc intake at the recommended limit of 40 mg/day show an acceleration of almost 7 years in organic aging.

The analysis, which includes exercises, suggests that participants with the recommended dose of zinc plus the recommended amount of physical activity had a 31% reduced chance of accelerating biological aging compared to participants with insufficient zinc intake and insufficient physical activity.

Some restrictions on this study include the narrow population, as the British biobank is composed most of white people of European descent. The nature of this observation study may not complete the causal link; In other words, researchers cannot say that zinc causes a more slow aging, but it is associated with it. Also, diet and physical activity information was self -reported, which always leaves room for mistakes and bias.

How does this apply to real life?

According to these researchers, insufficient zinc intake affects approximately 17% of people worldwide, and for this reason, they say that zinc supplements may be useful for some. However, this also comes with caution, as too much zinc accelerates aging – from a lot.

Researchers are not exactly sure why zinc seems to slow down aging, but they know that zinc affects age -related processes, including DNA synthesis, protein metabolism, cell proliferation (new cells) and mitosis (cell replication). Zinc is also associated with bone health, support of immunity, healthy hormones and prevention of diseases of the nervous system, such as Alzheimer’s. It also acts as an antioxidant, reducing inflammation, the researchers added. And less inflammation means more slow aging.

If you are looking to eat your zinc, focus on sources such as seafood, meat, poultry, dairy products, nuts and seeds. Like our 30-day eating plan with a high content of healthy aging proteins, as well as a 30-day anti-inflammatory eating plan for healthy aging contain many healthy aging foods, including those high in zinc. If you need more guidance to make sure you eat for a healthy aging, arrange an appointment with a registered nutritionist to help you design a plan based on your needs, lifestyles and preferences.

This study also includes the role of physical activity, noting that when combined with sufficient zinc intake, aging is delayed even more. The study does not distinguish between the types of exercise – such as cardio for strength training – except that participants meet minimal guidance. If you are not physically active right now, just start moving more throughout the day and be deliberate for it.

For example, make more trips to the house from the car with grocery or up and down the stairs when you put laundry. Take frequent breaks throughout the day to stretch, make a set of squats, or go around the house. Over time, gradually increase the amount, while more you respond to the minimum recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of energetic physical activity per week.

Bottom line

A new study suggests that adequate zinc intake can delay organic aging, even more so when combined with exercise. But the researchers also found that too much zinc was associated with much faster organic aging. Consider judging which foods you eat at the moment that provide zinc. If you think you are not getting enough, choose which foods to add. But before you supplement zinc, meet your healthcare provider or a registered nutritionist to make sure you don’t get more of it than your body needs.

Tesla Model Y and Hyundai Ioniq 5 are two of the hottest electric SUVs on the market. Adding to their appeal, both SUVs have recently been updated. The Y Model Y model has a new style, higher quality interior materials and smoother ride quality. Changes to 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 are not as dramatic, but you get more range, easier to use control and new ways to charge. Who recently updated electric SUVs is a better purchase? Edmond’s experts compare them to understand.

Scope and charging

The Model Y Model Y is currently available only in the version of all wheels on all wheels. It delivers EPA 327 miles from the range, which is impressive for a double motor electric SUV. Edmunds tests this version of its independent, standardized EV scope test and found that Tesla corresponds to EPA assessment when driving in the real world.

The estimated scope of the Ioniq 5 of 2025 extends from 245 miles to the main model to 318 miles in most models of single -motor models that are rear -wheel drive. Edmunds tests Ioniq 5 Limited with double electric motors and all wheels drive. He defeated his EPA estimate of 269 miles, passing 282 miles in Edmunds testing.

The new Ioniq 5 loading port allows it to charge at most Superlager Tesla fast loading stations. The Y model has access to any type of Tesla charging station. Both can also be loaded in stations that are not with non-tesla. When using a high -power fast loading station, Model Y can add up to 169 miles in 15 minutes. Ioniq 5 charges a little faster, regaining 178 miles in 15 minutes.

Tesla offers a little more maximum range, but charges a little more slow, which makes it a connection here.

Winner: Tie

Interior and technological features

Tesla paches many standard technologies in Model Y, including a large 15.4-inch central touch screen, an audio system with 16 speakers, double wireless telephone charging devices and several advanced driver aids. You can also transmit movies and play arcade games when you are parked. The full Tesla driving system is an expensive option, but it can drive and navigate Model Y’s traffic on the city streets and highways, as long as the driver pays attention and is ready to take control if necessary.

The IoniQ 5 base garnish comes standard with a 12.3-inch central touch screen and a pleasant number of sophisticated driver aids. The wireless connectivity for Apple Carplay and Android Auto Integration Smartphone is also standard; None of the system is available to Model Y. However, you should upgrade to a higher upholstery for the BOSE audio system with eight speakers and a modernized system to assist highway driving.

Both SUVS seds five and are spacious and comfortable. They also ride smoothly over irregularities and are drawn up at a turn. But Edmonds discovered that it was the small things that help Ioniq 5 get an advantage here. Its 360-degree camera system is more useful than Tesla when parking, for example, and its controls and functions are easier to use and learn. The Model Y touch screen, which controls almost anything, can be distracted for use while driving.

Winner: Ioniq 5

Utility

The Y model provides cargo loads: 29 cubic feet behind the rear seats and a huge 71.4 cubic feet with the folded back seat. The front trunk adds another 4.1 cubes. The Ioniq 5 has less space, but it is enough for most people: 26.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 58.5 cubic feet with folded rear seats. However, its front trunk is large enough only for charging cable.

As for the storage of small elements, both SUVs provide many compartments and significant doors pockets. Ioniq 5 has a movable central console that is comfortable at times.

Winner: Model Y.

Pricing and value

At present, all the Model Y wheels start at $ 50,630, while other models should be available later. Although not cheap, it is an excellent value because of its extensive list of standard technological features, several standard comfort features such as heating and ventilated front seats and long range.

The model of the basic standard range of Ioniq 5 starts at $ 44,075, but provides only 245 miles of range. The SE, which offers 318 miles, is about $ 4,000 more. None of them have as many standard features as Tesla, but the shorter price makes Hyundai achievable for buyers with less budgets. Both the Y and Ioniq 5 are ranked for federal tax loans.

Winner: Tie

Says Edmonds

This comparison is withdrawal; Both electric SUVs are an excellent choice, so it comes down to personal preference. If you want a more traditional vehicle, which is easier to use, go for Ioniq 5. But if you prefer the ministical design of the Y model and the distinctive technological features, this is EV for you.

This story was provided to the Associated Press from the Automotive Edmunds website.

Michael Canta is an associate at Edmunds.

On Wednesday, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the nominee for the Vice President of the Democratic Party in 2024, turned to a conservative cause Célèbre, which has been polluting online for months: the desire to cause President Trump to reconcile Derek, police Floyd almost five years ago.

There is no “no indication as to whether [Trump is] I will do it or not, but I think we are prepared to be prepared for him, “Walz said in response to questions from reporters.” With this Presidency, it seems that this may be something they would do. “

Why do Maga leaders want the president to pardon Chavin? Is there a reason to think Trump will actually go with him? And what would happen if he did it? Here’s all you need to know about the debate about Chavin’s future.

Why is Chavin in prison?

Chavin serves two simultaneous sentences. First, in April 2021, the jury of the state of Minnesota found Chavin guilty of all three accusations facing him after he kneeling his neck and back on Floyd for more than nine minutes: second -degree murder, and second -degree murder.

Chauvin was among the police who responded to a call last spring, accusing the 46 -year -old Floyd of using a fake $ 20 bill in a corner shop of Minneapolis. After Floyd was handcuffed, Chavin kept him face on the street while Floyd repeatedly prayed: “I can’t breathe.”

A medical examination of Henepin County has ruled Floyd’s death for murder due to “cardiopulmonary arrest” occurring during “subordinate, restraint and compression of the neck”.

Two months later, in June 2021, Chavin pleaded guilty – in Federal Court-to deprive Floyd of his civil rights (and do the same to a 14-year-old in a separate case for 2017, where he also uses “excessive power”).

“I really don’t know why you did what you did,” Federal Judge told Chavin in 2022, “to put your knee on a person’s neck until they run out, it’s just wrong.”

Chavin was sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison for his state sentence and 21 years for his federal sentence. He is currently imprisoned at a federal facility in Texas. It is expected to be released in November 2037.

In November 2023, the US Supreme Court rejected Chavin’s efforts to appeal his sentence to the state.

Where did this pardon come from?

In May 2023, a page of Floyd’s autopsy report on social media began to be distributed. Consumers claim that it is “new” and that it reveals the real cause of Floyd’s death: drugs.

“Breaking News: A full autopsy of George Floyd,” read one publication. “He says, ‘no life -threatening injuries are not identified and reveal high levels of many additional toxic drugs at the top of the fentanyl, which was originally reported.”

Another publication claims that “the corona report is said to have died of drugs – not cops.”

According to a thorough check of the facts in the Associated Press, these publications were false. “The image, which is shared online, simply shows the second page of the autopsy report published three years ago by Hunepin County,” AP reports. “This does not prove anything new to Floyd’s death and ignores that the previous page concludes that it was a murder because of” cardiopulmonary arrest “from” subordinate to order, restraint and compression of the neck. “

Independent experts added that Floyd’s main medical problems and drug use simply made it “more likely he wouldn’t do well [the] Stress “kneeling for more than nine minutes-and that the lack of” life-threatening injuries “in his neck” does not mean that asphyxia did not appear “, but rather that it did not leave behind” big bruises or damage to the muscles, cartilage or bones. “

A second autopsy ordered by Floyd’s family at the same time identifies a “suffocation of prolonged pressure” as a cause of death.

Nevertheless, conservative media figures such as Tucker Carlson took advantage of the idea that Floyd is guilty of his own death – and therefore Chavin is innocent. “Derek Chavin is serving 21 years in prison for a crime he has not committed,” Carlson published in December 2023 “If they do so, they will do it to you.”

“George Floyd has died of drug overdose,” Georgia reporter Marjorie Taylor Green agreed. “Derek Chavin must be released from prison and his recording must be cleaned.”

In March this year, two months after Trump returned to the Oval Cabinet, conservative scout Ben Shapiro released a petition to pardon Chauvin – and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who serves as a factual director of the Ministry of Government Efficiency of Trump, said “something to think.”

In his podcast, Shapiro claims that Chavin did not receive a fair process because the movement of the Black Lives Matter turned out to be “huge pressure on the jurors” – and that Chavin “was not guilty of reason” because Floyd was “high on fentanyl and had a significant pre -heart disease”.

Then Shapiro speculates that Floyd died of a “excited delirium” – a “fully fabricated state”, according to Scientific American.

Is Trump considering pardon?

In March, White House reporters asked Trump about Chavin’s pardon. “No, I didn’t even hear about it,” he said.

Since then, there has been no indications that the president plans to go on it. As the five-year anniversary of the Floyd-Crocagaline Murder approaches, which in theory could cause a pardon-as the Minnesota Police Association, as well as the World Officers, as well as the Ministry of Corrections in Minessota, which they did not hear anything to the status of the status of the status of the status of Minessota, that they did not hear anything to submit nothing to submit nothing to submit nothing to submit nothing to submit nothing to submit nothing to submit nothing to under Minneapolis is quietly preparing quietly, only in case).

When Walz said earlier this week that the pardon “looks like … something they would do”, he probably refers to the fact that Trump was not ashamed of using his presidential powers to issue conflicting pardons (including 1500 of them for a bunch of January. White Africars such as reflection or distribute civil rights prioritizing with various rights, for example, such as its destinists who have been tightened in connection with the January 6 attack on US Capitol) or mix the civil rights (White AF Priority).

Can Trump actually pardon Chavin? And what would happen if he did it?

According to Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the US Constitution, Trump has the power to pardon Chavin’s federal sentence – but he cannot do anything for Chavin’s state sentence.

As Walz pointed on Wednesday, it means that if Trump deleted Chavin’s federal sentence [state sentence of] 22 and a half years in prison in Minnesota. “

Minnesota Prosecutor General Keith Ellison, whose service was heading Chavin’s state prosecution, echoed Waltz in a statement.

The story goes on

A new report describes in detail how the federal government ignores billions of dollars in fraud related to identity theft every year, as outdated systems leave government agencies and Americans and vulnerable to fraudsters.

The Socure report, a company that sells identity verification services, found that fraudsters were using stolen identities to deceive government agencies from billions, and Bilk Americans would receive benefits to which they were eligible for. The problem is so huge, according to the report that fake or fraudulent claims originating in crimes based mainly abroad make up between 2 percent to 12 percent of all applications for US government services.

The government estimates that federal agencies annually lose about $ 500 billion for fraudulent claims. The Socure report shows that the number can be almost twice as high.

For comparison, this is more than 10 times the bigger than the USAID annual budget, the center of American foreign aid and the soft power, which is now distorted by the Elon Musk Doge campaign and is due to a processing of the State Department.

First reported by NBC News, the report continued to establish that the lack of federal identity test systems had a cascading effect, as fraudsters often target private organizations with information obtained incorrectly through government agencies.

“There is a real need for fraud prevention solutions that use simple consortium data that covers commercial and government programs,” it said.

The report cites major issues with identity verification efforts: Callers who contact agencies have often had access to information, providing information that could be obtained in itself, such as the social security number and answering security questions. Red flags, such as the social security number that does not coincide with the date of birth of the applicant, applications submitted by international IP addresses, or telephone numbers with codes of the area that do not match the place of residence of a person are often ignored.

“Today in many agencies, if someone calls a call center and says I’m locked with my account, many of them will allow them to access their account, saying,” Hey, we will allow you to change your name and password here, “Cocure Vice President Jordan Buris told NBC News. “They will probably ask them something about the effect of ‘hey, can you tell me your name? Can you tell me a social number? Can you answer this question about a car you may have had once?”

An international fraud ring, described as “complicated” by Socure’s analysis, uses stolen identities to launch 60 fraudulent claims in “multiple” agencies during a one -month period last fall.

This is also a bilateral problem: according to Socure’s findings, fraud to government agencies have jumped during the Covid pandemic, as the federal government has distributed the assistance of help, check millions of Americans, and unidentified borrowing programs to support workers during locking. The numbers never recovered when these programs were over.

But this is not part of the “waste, fraud and abuse” that the Elon Musk Elon or the Republican Congress’s efforts turn through federal funds and efforts to create a budget bill that can cross the Chamber and the Senate. Republicans in Congress are hoping to find nearly $ 900 billion savings to finance the renewal of Trump’s tax renewal for 2017, but they do so by creating Medicaid work requirements that Democrats say is simply a layer of bureaucracy aimed at exposing people from the program. The republican plan also calls for a reduction in food stamps and other changes to Medicaid aimed at reducing the weight for the federal government.

The Government Reporting Service (GAO) estimates that Medicaid and Medicare together make more than $ 100 billion in incorrect payments each year. The GOP budget plan includes changes to the eligibility requirements that make checks more common, but there is no organized impetus for more powerful electronic inspection practices.

Meanwhile, the dog is largely dispersed after taking the USAID ax and most accounts calls for large -scale abbreviations of staff federal lists, not changes to programs to improve efficiency or even effort to identify fraud. A website last updated on Sunday, managed by Musk, shows that his team is taking credit for $ 170 billion for supposed savings, although this number is highly contested.

Elon Musk is expected to take a public step back from his role in the coming days, while his team looks largely viewed government programs as deceptive and wasteful design rather than undermined by criminal groups.

Between the diets of FAD, the protein-forming of almost everything and a new wearing technology that traces all types of biometry, it is easy to pardon in the health mania.

Plus, with all the information online and on social media, it can be difficult to understand what you need and do not need when it comes to your health, especially nutrition. There are videos throughout social media in which people call certain foods as “bad” or contain “fake ingredients” that only nourish the social investment with “eating healthy”.

Although there is nothing wrong with eating a healthy diet-this is a great way to strengthen your well-being-there is a line that healthy eating can cross. Too much of the focus on it can become something known as orthorexia, a condition that is becoming more and more in society, and some studies say that this is largely due to the pressure from social media.

You will not find orthorexia in the DSM-5, which is the official mental health diagnosis guide, but two nutritionists have told Huffpost that they expect it to eventually be an official diagnosis.

“This is a subclinical destroyed nutrition, so this is not something that has a clinical diagnostic code, but it is widely recognized in the community of non -use of nutrition,” says Beth Auguste, a Wellness nutritionist for the mother in Philadelphia.

″[Orthorexia] In general, it can be categorized as concern with healthy eating and fixing the cleanliness of food, “Adu added.

“This is a mania for what someone perceives as the right diet or a healthy diet,” added Beth Hawz, a registered nutritionist with Onpoint Nutrition.

Because many people are glad to eat healthy foods or do it to maintain certain health markers such as cholesterol and blood sugar in control, it can be difficult to understand what is just a healthy diet and what is dangerous.

“It’s so hard to notice that even professionals can have problems with discovering it – they are some question such as, this person is just really healthy or is [it] bordering on a disorder? “August noted.

Below, Augus and Haze share the signs that you can go into the territory of orthorexia and what to do if you are concerned about your eating habits.

You have exceptional nutritional restrictions (which are not allergic or a doctor’s proposal).

″[Orthorexia] It can show some of the same ways in which anorexia is displayed, where it may be limiting – not to eat certain food groups, to experience a lot of anxiety if you do not have complete control over the food you eat, and the source you come from, “Uyu said.

You may find that you are creating strict rules for food intake, Hyz added. Like, you may say that you can only eat brown rice and you can never make exceptions to white rice.

“It winds up less than a healthy diet, which usually begins as more about an unhealthy mania for the cleanliness of food or” clean nutrition “or” proper nutrition, “said Haze.

He gets involved with your social life.

“When it crosses the line, it is when it begins to interfere with your everyday life,” Uue said.

If your food stress interferes with your social commitments by rejecting plans because you are not sure about the food situation, this can be a cause for concern.

“When this affects your ability to live socially in the world, comfortably, then this is a problem that you have to turn to,” added Uue.

“This is winding up less than the average person concerned about healthy food, and simply really obsesses where it is almost your personality,” Haise said.

You spend a lot of time analyzing ingredients lists.

It is normal to check the lists of ingredients and eating labels from time to time, especially if you have an allergy or a specific purpose of nutrition you are trying to hit. But for someone with orthorexia, they can find that they are “intrusive, all the time, analyzing all the ingredients,” Hawz said.

This can turn into hours and hours spent eating or examining the nutrition of any ingredient that enters your food, she noted.

When you violate your food rules, you feel worried or guilty.

“I think the line comes when you start to feel as if you are thinking [healthy eating] All the while, Haze said.

“If you feel you are anxious … you are upset to eat something … and you feel so more often than not, then it may be a sign that you might think about it too much,” she said.

The same applies to if you feel guilty after breaking any of your food rules, Haise added.

Sunday added that if your mind about food at all disrupt your mental health, you should consider talking to someone. August also said that if it interferes with your physical health, it is an absolute red flag.

Here’s what to do if that sounds like you.

With the support of a nutritionist or a mental health specialist, you can determine whether your healthy eating is just that – or more.

“It is really important to talk to someone as a nutritionist who specializes in a brush meal, a therapist who specializes in him who can help you understand [if this is a problem for you]Saju said.

Usually, nutritionists accept insurance, have noted Auguste, and they can help you make sure you are on the right way with your diet, whether you have specific concerns or not.

“You can definitely recover from orthorexia if you have the right support,” said Haze, “so as soon as you feel these feelings, turn to it as much as possible so that it does not become something that manages your life.”

Healthy eating is a lifelong process and is not intended to be perfect.

As for what you eat, your nutrition needs are probably different from those of your partner, your neighbor and your favorite influences on social media.

So, don’t put too many stocks in social media trends or what a diet is hitting, Haise said.

Instead of possessing the most food trend, focus on realistic goals – “So, do not focus on whether a food is clean or not, not focus on whether you have a variety in your dishes,” Haise said. “Do you get a variety of different foods? Do you get a variety of different nutrients? Because that’s where real nutrition comes.”

Simut said it was important to put on thinking about everything or nothing when it comes to eating, which includes rules surrounding a specific diet or a strict weight loss plan. “I have so many patients who do this and then it is not resistant to be 100% all the time,” Adu added.

Then, when they fall from the diet, they feel like a failure and give up, she noted. “I feel like this is a disadvantage for someone with orthorexia is that you are afraid of dropping 100%and afraid that if you are letting go, you don’t fall into that,” Uyu said.

It is important to find the Middle Earth and remind yourself that you do not need to be perfect, August added. “You can say,” I usually eat healthy. ” You don’t have to say, “I always eat healthy,” she said.

When you use a “always” language, you “introduce this concept of failure and judge yourself,” Owy said. And it’s perfectly good, not a failure, to have this salty breakfast or sweet treat.

“The more practice you can get to afford to find the environment where you are not” always “,” you just “usually do something, I think the better,” said Uyu.

As you work on all this, have compassion for yourself. Society does not facilitate the forgiveness of the choice of food.

“Overall, eating and healthy eating is just a lifelong journey. It’s not really a set of rules and a one -time; it’s something you have been involved in throughout your life,” said Haze. Your diet needs can change as you age, as perhaps your food preferences.

“A few choices here -where you feel like you may not be as great will not make such a big impact. It is really a focus to provide you with what you need all your life,” Haise said.

• Senior at Northeast University filed a formal complaint And requested a training recovery after finding that her professor secretly uses AI tools to generate notes. Later, the professor admitted that he uses several AI platforms and acknowledged the need for transparency. The incident emphasizes the growing concerns of students about teachers who use AI, turning more concerns by professors, worries that students will use the technology to cheat.

Some students are not satisfied with the use of AI of their professor. A senior college was so shocked to learn that her teacher is using AI to help him make notes that she filed a formal complaint and requested a refund of training, according to The New York Times.

Ella Stapleton, who enrolled in the Northeast University this academic year, became suspicious of the notes of his business professor’s lectures when he noticed Telltale signs of a generation of AI, including homeless Chatgpt quotes and the bibliors, recurred.

“He tells us not to use it and then he uses it himself,” Stapleton said in an interview with New York Times.

Stapleton filed a formal complaint to the North -Eastern Business School for the incident, focused on the undisclosed use of AI of her professor, together with a brighter concerns about his teaching approach – and requested a recovery for this course. The claim is just over $ 8,000.

After a series of meetings, northeast eventually decided to reject the Elder claim.

The professor behind the notes Rick Arrow has admitted that he uses various AI tools – including Chatgpt, AI’s perplexity search engine, and an AI presentation generator called Gamma – in an interview with The New York Times.

“In the background … I would like to look at it more closely,” he said at the exit, adding that he now believes that professors should consider a careful thought to integrate AI and be transparent to students about when and how they use it.

“If my experience can be something that people can learn from,” he told Now“Then, well, this is my happy place.”

Colleagues often limit the use of AI in campus

Many schools or outspoken prohibition, or place restrictions on the use of AI. The students were some of Chatgpt’s early adoptive parents after leaving at the end of 2022, quickly finding that they could complete essays and tasks in seconds. The widespread use of technology has created distrust between students and teachers, as teachers struggled to identify and punish the use of AI in work.

Now the tables have turned somewhat. Students accept sites, including an assessment of my teachers, to complain about the use of their teachers or the excessive use of AI. They also claim that this undermines the fees they pay to be taught by human experts, not technologies that they could use free of charge.

According to the AI ​​policy in the Northeastern AI, each teacher or student must “provide appropriate attribution when using an AI content generation system that is included in a scientific publication, or sent to anyone, a publication or other organization that requires the attribution of content authorship.”

The policy also points out that those using the technology should: “They regularly check the output of the AI ​​system of accuracy and expediency for the necessary purpose and review/update the outcome as it is appropriate.”

Northeast representatives did not immediately respond to a request for a comment from Fortune.
