Forget AAA: this year, all I wanted to do was optimize my conveyor belts in SatisfactoryAs we transition to warmer weather in the austral summer, many changes take place. Domestic dogs and cats may shed winter coats. Fish such as bass and trout prepare fat reserves for migrations to deeper waters. And social insect queens emerge from hibernation in search of a place to start their nests. Most people won't be surprised that bumble bees and ground-nesting wasp colonies have queens. What is surprising, though, is that those big bees and wasps we see in the spring are the queens - not the workers - building their nests all on their own. Bumble bees and yellowjacket wasps typically nest in the ground (though you might see some nesting in trees or buildings). To locate the perfect nest site, both species search for abandoned rodent holes (the perfect cosy size to insulate a big queen and a small nest). After they find their spot, the queens forage and defend their young from the perils of life as an insect - predators, pesticides and pathogens. If the queen can't find a nest site and gather enough resources, or perishes before workers emerge, the colony will fail before it even gets started. Life of the larvae Like butterflies, wasps and bees start life as helpless larvae. Wasp and bee larvae are essentially big stomachs with a mouth. They have no legs, and are stuck in place until they're grown. Larvae rely entirely on older generations to survive. Wasps collect pulp to smooth into hexagonal paper cells (similar to the inside of a honey bee nest) where the defenceless larvae will grow. They usually collect this pulp from untreated wood - the wasp that landed next to you on the park bench is just gathering building materials. She won't take much, and she won't stay long. Bumble bees produce wax that they mould into honey pots (to store food) and balls (where they nestle their eggs). The bees need enough nutrition to produce this wax, which they'll get from the flowers in your garden. Wasp larvae are primarily carnivorous, getting protein from live prey or carrion. Bees get protein from floral resources like pollen, although adults of both species feed on nectar. After a few weeks, larvae will spin silken cocoons and pupate (just like butterflies). This is a chance for the queens to take a break from feeding those hungry larvae (which are insatiable before they pupate), and focus on raising more young. The queens still continue foraging, though - no one is coming to feed them until their daughters are adults. Once the offspring emerge from their pupae as adults, they won't leave the nest just yet. They will need a day (at least) just for their exoskeleton (their body and wings) to harden. Until the exoskeleton is set, bees and wasps can't fly to forage, or sting to defend. They also need time to develop a circadian rhythm. This ensures when they emerge from the underground nest, they do so when it's light outside (wasps and bees don't forage too well in the dark). Division of labour We are now nearing the end of spring in Aotearoa. There are still a few queen wasps and bumble bees flying around, but we are also starting to see small foragers. These are the "first cohort" of workers. The queen - who did all the chores on her own - was limited in terms of what she could feed her young. In early spring, food might be scarce. Once the first cohort of workers emerge, things outside and inside the nest begin to shift. Floral resources and insect prey numbers increase - meaning foragers have an easier time finding food. Because workers are foraging, the queen can remain in the nest where she primarily lays eggs and incubates her developing brood. Workers also subdivide the chores in the nest. Some will forage for protein, some for sugar, and others (like wasps) will forage for nest material or water. Some workers might remain in the nest to keep the temperature and humidity constant, others might remain in the nest to watch for invaders or predators. Queen bumble bees and yellowjackets only live for about one year. They emerge as adults in autumn, mate, then hibernate over the winter months. After emerging from hibernation in spring, they start a new colony on their own and watch as it grows to hundreds (bumble bees) or thousands (yellowjackets) of workers. At some point, the queen will stop laying eggs. She'll often leave the nest on her own when she knows her time is up. The workers will make sure the larvae in the nest are raised as new queens, and the cycle starts anew. Among royalty In the North Island, there have been a number of "frighteningly large" perennial yellowjacket nests reported. As our climate changes, warming temperatures may extend the season of social wasp nests, leading to more of these large nests. Although the original queen dies, the new queens may choose to join an established nest of workers and take over as the new queen (skipping that period of hibernation). Yellowjacket wasps sometimes receive a bad rap, particularly due to their very effective nest defence strategies, with the potential to butt heads with gardeners. But wasps - just like bees and butterflies - are important pollinators in our floral ecosystems, and also help keep annoying pest bug populations down. So, if you've noticed the huge wasps and bumble bees flying around this spring, just remember - you're among royalty. *Jennifer Jandt is Senior Lecturer in Ecology, University of Otago; Connal McLean is Natural History Technician - Invertebrates. * This story was first published on The Conversation

Trump's tariff policy could depreciate CNY by 10% -15%
“ Yellowstone ” season 5 has returned, and the season is racing toward its explosive finale, which is already only a few weeks away. What will likely be the biggest show of 2024 is airing another episode on Sunday, Nov. 24 , which will be the third episode of part 2 of its 5th season. The episode is entitled “ Three Fifty-Three ,” and according to its vague, ominous description, Kayce will take his investigation into his own hands. The episode will be available to watch on Philo , Sling TV , Fubo TV , and DirecTV Stream as it airs. Each of these services offers free trials, while Sling offers 50% off the first month. Here’s the information you’ll need to watch a free live stream of “Yellowstone” online without cable. Read More: When will ‘Yellowstone’ season 5 be on Peacock? How to watch ‘Yellowstone’ without cable If you’re a cord-cutter or don’t have cable, you can live stream “Yellowstone” on any one of the following streaming services: Philo (free trial) Philo is remarkably inexpensive for the amount of content it offers, with more than 70+ live channels, the ability to stream from three devices simultaneously and a 365-day DVR with unlimited space. Subscribers will also have access to thousands of movies and TV series on-demand. The service costs $28 per month. There are several available packages that include premium channels, like MGM+ and AMC+, for an additional cost. Philo also offers a seven-day free trial that includes all the features of full subscription. DIRECTV Stream (free trial) In addition to ABC, Freeform, ESPN, and the other Disney channels, DIRECTV Stream offers CBS, NBC, and FOX. This sets it apart from most live TV streaming services. On top of that, a subscription gets you access to more than 65 other channels in its base package, including Nickelodeon, MTV, CNN, vh1, and more. The biggest selling point for DIRECTV Stream , however, is that it is the best for live and regional sports coverage. Add that to over 65,000 on-demand titles and its Cloud DVR and you have a diverse, versatile service that can meet any of your streaming needs. The base package costs $64.99 per month, with a wide range of add-on options. DIRECTV Stream offers a five-day free trial . Fubo TV (free trial) Fubo is considered the ultimate live TV streaming service for anyone seeking to cut the cord. With a subscription, you get access to over 100 channels (depending on your local area), 30 hours of DVR space, and tons of on-demand content, mainly featuring episodes of shows that have aired in recent weeks. Fubo has ABC and the ESPN family, too, making it a top option for sports fans. $74.99 per month, with a range of add-on options. Fubo’s standard package features a seven-day free trial . Sling TV Sling TV costs either $35 or $50 per month , depending on which package you choose. A subscription can be canceled at any time. While Sling TV’s range of channels doesn’t quite match some other services, it is far cheaper than almost any other live TV streaming service. And the streaming services closer to Sling TV’s price range don’t offer as much customization among packages. Sling TV does not currently offer a free trial but the company is running a promotion for 50% off the first month , so a subscription to Sling Orange & Blue is just $30 for the first month. When does “ Yellowstone ” return? “Yellowstone” will continue to air its 5th and final season on Sunday, November 24, 2024 . These will be the final 6 episodes of the series, which means there will be no “Yellowstone” season 6. What channel is “Yellowstone” on? What time does “Yellowstone” air? “ Yellowstone ” airs on the Paramount Network. It will air at 8 p.m., which has been its airtime since the beginning of its run. How to watch “Yellowstone,” including the old seasons Because “ Yellowstone ” is a Paramount Network exclusive, this might lead you to believe that it is available to stream on Paramount Plus, but that is not the case . The series has a complicated streaming arrangement (which precedes its explosive popularity), which means it will not be available on Paramount Plus for the foreseeable future. Instead, exclusive streaming rights to “Yellowstone” belong to Peacock . The streaming service offers the first five seasons of the show on-demand , with the second half of season 5 to release some time after it begins airing. What is “Yellowstone” about? “ Yellowstone ” started airing on Paramount Network in 2018 as a modern take on the traditional Western/cowboy narrative. The series follows an intense — and often violent — border dispute in Montana between the Dutton family cattle ranch, a group of encroaching land developers, and a Native American reservation. As the series progresses, its scope expands with the Dutton family trying to assert their dominance in the arena of state politics. The series stars Kevin Costner, Wes Bentley, Kelly Reilly, Luke Grimes, Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille, Brecken Merrill, Forrie J. Smith, and Gil Birmingham, among others. Here’s a look at “Yellowstone,” courtesy of Paramount Network’s official YouTube channel: Where can I watch the “Yellowstone” spinoffs? Where can I watch “1923′′ and “1883?” The sole season of “1883′′ is only available on Paramount Plus. There is nowhere else to watch the series. The same is true of “1923.” You can sign up for Paramount Plus on the streaming service’s website . Currently, Paramount Plus features two subscription plans : a “limited commercials” option for $6 per month ($60 annually), and a premium “no commercials” option for $12 per month ($120 annually). You can try out either tier with a full 7-day free trial . Paramount Plus will also be the home of upcoming “Yellowstone” spinoffs such as “1944,” the sequel to “1923,” and present-day spinoff “6666.” How to watch Yellowstone How to watch ‘Yellowstone’ Season 5 Episode 10 (for free) in case you missed it live How to watch the 'Yellowstone' premiere (for free) in case you missed it live How to get 38% off Peacock before “Yellowstone” returns When does season 5 of ‘Yellowstone’ start?

The Cync Reveal HD+ Undercabinet lights by GE Lighting are available in 3-inch pucks at $85 for a 3-pack and 12-, 18-, and 24-inch bars starting at $60. They're easy to install, with plug-in and hardwired installation options, and work reliably with third-party voice integrations. While I didn't have issues with the puck lights, the light bar often disconnects from Wi-Fi, staying on all night instead of following the preset schedule. Because hate is a strong word, I tend to say that I severely dislike my kitchen. It's dingy and dark, so I always look for ways to brighten it up. After DIYing a new backsplash and changing all of my recessed lighting, which wasn't enough, I added some undercabinet lights – but not just any lights. I went with the Cync GE Reveal HD+ undercabinet lights and can confidently say I'll never try string lights for this again. Also: This smart floor lamp is one of my favorite smart home accessories and it's 20% off GE Lighting, a Savant Company, launched these Cync undercabinet lights about a year ago, and I've had them in my kitchen for a few months. They're easy to install and perform exactly as advertised, giving my kitchen some much-needed illumination. I have mine running on a schedule each morning and each night, when we're making breakfast and getting the kids ready for school and then while prepping dinner. They work with Alexa and Google for seamless voice control, so I can always ask one of these assistants to turn them on whenever I need extra light. Cync Reveal HD+ Undercabinet lights by GE Lighting The Cync Reveal HD+ Undercabinet lights by GE Lighting are a fantastic way to upgrade your kitchen for more visual appeal and the convenience of extra cooking light. With millions of color possibilities, these lights also provide ambiance for parties or according to your mood. Installation was easier than I expected. The lights are available as pucks or light bars, with millions of color possibilities and plug-in or hardwired installation options. Since I didn't have existing undercabinet lights, I plugged them in. The pucks include a reference template to drill small holes where you need them. You use the 3M backing to position each one; then, you can use the included screws to secure them. The light bar requires only the captive screws to install, so all you do is screw it in and set it up on the Cync app. You can link additional fixtures to the pucks and light bar totaling up to 500 watts, which is convenient considering that the 12-inch bar is 13 watts and each 3-inch puck is 5 watts. You can control each light individually or as a group, no matter how many you have. I set up one puck on a small cabinet by the stove, five pucks linked together above my kitchen prepping area, and one 24-inch light bar above the coffee area. I mostly control the lights as a group to turn the whole kitchen on or off, though I sometimes ask Alexa to turn on a specific one. So, I named each light after what is inside the cabinet above it. Also: I tested Roomba's most functional robot vacuum yet, and it's worth every penny Since installing these lights, I've enjoyed being in the kitchen more. The space feels brighter and fresher when the lights are on, and the extra light is helpful while cooking. The lights simply make my kitchen look good. I've set them up on a schedule to come on for two hours each morning and then again for two hours in the evening. The only issue I've encountered is that the light bar sometimes disconnects from my home Wi-Fi, so I have to turn it off manually on the app (which uses Bluetooth to connect) or ask Alexa to do it when the light reconnects. Otherwise, the light bar sometimes misses its signal to turn itself off and stays on overnight, which we only notice when we return downstairs for the morning rush. This could be a problem with this individual light bar, however, since it's not a common complaint from buyers. Also: This magical light projector is the smart home accessory I didn't know I needed The light bar features end-to-end lights, which produce a bright output of up to 750 lumens in a small space with no dark areas. Each puck emits up to 300 lumens, which is plenty bright for under-cabinet lights. With Reveal, a trademarked technology by GE Lighting, the lights filter out dull yellow tons to provide whiter whites and more vibrant colors for clarity and true-to-life colors. You can turn this setting on or off on the Cync app. ZDNET's buying advice The 24-inch Cync Reveal HD+ undercabinet light bar above my coffeemaker. Many people opt for string lights as undercabinet lights, which I've tried before. But testing the Cync Reveal HD+ undercabinet lights by GE Lighting has convinced me never to use a string light in their place. These lights offer the consistency and visual appeal you don't get from string lights. The latter often fall, become detached from their clips, or have lower brightness than the Cync undercabinet lights. Even when reflected off of my shiny granite countertops, the circular lights look much better than a string of LEDs, giving my kitchen a more polished look. Also: This smart light strip is cheaper than Philips Hue but just as magical The fact that the pucks look so good and work so seamlessly with the app and third-party integrations makes them easy to recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen or improve lighting.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks climbed Thursday after market superstar Nvidia and another round of companies said they’re making even fatter profits than expected. The S&P 500 pulled 0.5% higher after flipping between gains and losses several times during the day. Banks, smaller companies and other areas of the stock market that tend to do best when the economy is strong helped lead the way, while bitcoin briefly broke above $99,000. Crude oil, meanwhile, continued to rise. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 461 points, or 1.1%, and the Nasdaq composite edged up by less than 0.1%. Nvidia rose just 0.5% after beating analysts’ estimates for profit and revenue yet again, but it was still the strongest force pulling the S&P 500 upward. It also gave a forecast for revenue in the current quarter that topped most analysts’ expectations due to voracious demand for its chips used in artificial-intelligence technology. Its stock initially sank in afterhours trading Wednesday following the release of the results. Some investors said the market might have been looking for Nvidia’s revenue forecast to surpass expectations by even more. But its stock recovered in premarket trading Thursday, and Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said it was another “flawless” profit report provided by Nvidia and CEO Jensen Huang, whom Ives calls “the Godfather of AI.” The stock meandered through Thursday as well, dragging the S&P 500 and other indexes back and forth. How Nvidia’s stock performs has more impact than any other because it’s grown into Wall Street’s most valuable company at roughly $3.6 trillion. The frenzy around AI is sweeping up other stocks, and Snowflake jumped 32.7% after reporting stronger results for the latest quarter than analysts expected. The company, whose platform helps customers get a better view of all their silos of data and use AI, also reported stronger revenue growth than expected. BJ’S Wholesale Club rose 8.3% after likewise delivering a bigger profit than expected. That may help calm worries about how resilient U.S. shoppers can remain, given high prices across the economy and still-high interest rates. A day earlier, Target tumbled after reporting sluggish sales in the latest quarter and giving a dour forecast for the holiday shopping season. It followed Walmart , which gave a much more encouraging outlook. Nearly 90% of the stocks in the S&P 500 ended up rising Thursday, and the gains were even bigger among smaller companies. The Russell 2000 index of smaller stocks jumped a market-leading 1.7%. Google’s parent company, Alphabet, helped keep indexes in check. It fell 4.7% after U.S. regulators asked a judge to break up the tech giant by forcing it to sell its industry-leading Chrome web browser. In a 23-page document filed late Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Justice called for sweeping punishments that would include restrictions preventing Android from favoring its own search engine. Regulators stopped short of demanding Google sell Android but left the door open to it if the company’s oversight committee continues to see evidence of misconduct. All told, the S&P 500 rose 31.60 points to 5,948.71. The Dow jumped 461.88 to 43,870.35, and the Nasdaq composite added 6.28 to 18,972.42. In the crypto market, bitcoin eclipsed $99,000 for the first time before pulling back toward $98,000, according to CoinDesk. It’s more than doubled so far this year, and its climb has accelerated since Election Day. President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to make the country “the crypto capital of the planet” and create a “strategic reserve” of bitcoin. Bitcoin got a further boost after Gary Gensler, the chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, said Thursday he would step down in January . Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. Bitcoin and related investment have a notorious history of big price swings in both directions. MicroStrategy, a company that’s been raising cash expressly to buy bitcoin, saw an early Thursday gain of 14.6% for its stock quickly disappear. It finished the day with a loss of 16.2%. In the oil market, a barrel of benchmark U.S. crude rose 2% to bring its gain for the week to 4.8%. Brent crude, the international standard, climbed 1.8%. Oil has been rising amid escalations in the Russia-Ukraine war. In stock markets abroad, shares of India’s Adani Enterprises plunged 22.6% Thursday after the U.S. charged founder Gautam Adani in a federal indictment with securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities and wire fraud. The businessman and one of the world’s richest people is accused of concealing that his company’s huge solar energy project on the subcontinent was being facilitated by an alleged bribery scheme. Stock indexes elsewhere in Asia and Europe were mixed. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury inched up to 4.43% from 4.41% late Wednesday following some mixed reports on the U.S. economy. One said fewer U.S. workers applied for unemployment benefits last week in the latest signal that the job market remains solid. Another report, though, said manufacturing in the mid-Atlantic region unexpectedly shrank. Sales of previously occupied homes, meanwhile, strengthened last month by more than expected.

Union min says focus on upgrading existing sports infra of HaryanaDibrugarh: In a significant move to combat the perennial threat of erosion and flooding, Dibrugarh MLA Prasanta Phukan inaugurated an ambitious anti-erosion project along the Brahmaputra riverbank on Tuesday. Funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the project has a budget of Rs 321 crore and will span an 8-km stretch from Chota Mothola to Mohanaghat. Speaking at the launch, MLA Phukan highlighted the use of advanced technologies in the project. “The ADB-funded project is one of the largest investments in Dibrugarh’s flood protection infrastructure. Under the project, we will construct 1.2 km of new embankment while implementing cutting-edge technology to fortify existing structures against erosion,” the MLA said. The project employs advanced engineering solutions, including the strategic placement of geo-bags and reinforced concrete porcupines to strengthen the embankment. “The river reaches depths of 9-10 metres near the bank, necessitating the deployment of seven mechanised boats for installing the geo-bags and porcupines. We’re utilising the latest technology available to ensure the project’s success,” Phukan said. The initiative represents a decisive response to Dibrugarh’s long-standing battle with seasonal flooding and erosion, which has historically threatened the town’s infrastructure and residents’ safety. The project’s timing is crucial, as it aims to establish protective measures before the next monsoon season. “This will be a permanent solution to the perennial challenges our town faces. We hope to complete the project expeditiously to ensure Dibrugarh town doesn’t have to face the recurring threat of flood and erosion during the upcoming monsoon,” Phukan added.

Dibrugarh villagers capture black panther In Nahoroni, a black panther that had been terrorizing locals and attacking domestic animals was captured by villagers in Dibrugarh. The villagers set up an iron cage using a hen as bait, successfully trapping the panther. It will undergo a medical examination and be released in a remote forest to prevent further conflicts. Dibrugarh residents write to CM to save tea garden Residents of Dibrugarh have appealed to chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to stop the destruction of green spaces, particularly the tea garden area along Convoy Road. Environmental activists warn that uprooting tea plants and trees for commercial purposes will damage air quality and urban biodiversity. They urge the CM to intervene and protect the town's environmental and cultural heritage.
Dec 5 (Reuters) - Zooming in on surveillance footage of a gun that could have had a silencer fitted to it. Scouring the web to identify the brand of a backpack. Triangulating data of a rental bike to uncover an escape route. Wednesday's shocking murder in Manhattan of UnitedHealthcare (UNH.N) , opens new tab CEO Brian Thompson - what police called a targeted killing - brought out a bevy of sleuths and true-crime fans across social media looking for clues about the killer's motivation and how he managed to flee from the scene and seemingly disappear into the city of more than 8 million people. By Thursday, police were examining evidence ranging from surveillance video to items discarded nearby that could contain DNA to find the killer. Authorities also asked for the public's help, releasing a photo with a clear view of his face. Meanwhile, platforms including Bluesky, Reddit and X sprouted hundreds of posts from amateur gumshoes poring over video and photos. "Dude had a suppressor, which is an extremely difficult thing to acquire, especially in a state like New York," wrote one Reddit user. Such forums are rife with so-called internet detectives who pick through publicly available reports to uncover information in the aftermath of major crimes. Sometimes, they succeed: Online sleuths helped investigators identify numerous rioters who took part in the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, following Joe Biden's presidential election victory in 2020. But such "crowd-sourced investigations" also can go awry. Following the April 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, Reddit users spread theories that pointed at the wrong people , which were later amplified by publications including the New York Post. The FBI released pictures of their leading suspects to quell the speculation. Social media helps people connect around a shared subject, but it also blurs the line between news and speculation, said Tahneer Oksman, a professor in Marymount Manhattan College's communications department in New York. "So many people are no longer making the important distinctions between getting vetted information and chatting/speculating about such vetted information," she said. A Reddit post about Thompson on the subreddit MorbidReality, which has more than 1 million members, garnered over 260 comments. Users speculated the killer's weapon was a Station 6 pistol or an "exotic firearm called a B&T VP9." Others focused on the backpack, calling it a "Peak Design Everyday Backpack 30L, Camera Bag." On X, some users tried to chase leads on Citi Bike - New York's bicycle rental system - for clues. One user posted details about a bike that seemed to have been the only one that left the area shortly after the shooting and headed toward Central Park. Police later told media outlets they believe that the killer likely used an unmarked e-bike, not a Citi Bike. Early Thursday, users examined another crumb: reports that the words "deny," "defend" and "depose" were carved into the shell casings found at the scene. The words evoke the title of a 2010 book critical of the insurance industry titled "Delay Deny Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don't Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It." Those comments set off more chatter about the shooter's motivation, ranging from an early 2024 federal investigation into the company to a lawsuit filed by a Florida pension fund alleging insider trading. Retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer on Thursday posted a 26-minute video on X laying out thoughts on the murder, saying the killer knew exactly where Thompson would be and when. "That just tells me there likely could be somebody on the inside, somebody that knew when he would be leaving," she said. Coffindaffer did not respond to attempts to contact her on X or LinkedIn.
