Killer whales have been killing great white sharks off South African shores. But lately, there's been a mysterious disappearance of great white sharks in these waters. AdvertisementAdvertisementFor years, great white sharks were turning up dead on South Africa's False Bay and Gansbaai shores missing something crucial — their livers. The tourism industry in Gaansbi, South Africa relied on the large population of great white sharks found in the area. In North America, for example, at the Southeast Farallon Islands great white sharks have been recorded fleeing from hunting areas after killer whales showed up.

Lin Wood, an attorney and vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump, is a witness for the Atlanta district attorney in her prosecution of Trump and his allies over their efforts to reverse his 2020 election loss in Georgia, a new court filing reveals. Wood told CNBC last month that he had previously testified to a Georgia grand jury investigating Trump "pursuant to a 'material witness' subpoena." Trump and more than a dozen of his allies were indicted in August by a Georgia grand jury in the election interference case. He had worked to challenge the results of the 2020 national election and would often push false conspiracies about the election itself. In 2021, Wood told CNBC that his South Carolina plantations hosted numerous conspiracy theorists looking to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Suddenly she knew she wanted to write about him — or a character inspired by him — in her 21st book. The man was “utterly nondescript,” the suspense novelist said in a phone interview. “I could see that his apartment had no softness to it, nothing on the walls,” Jewell explained. “He’s Walter Fair.” She already had a few ideas brewing for the novel that would become her latest best seller, “None of This Is True.” But Walter Fair was, as she put it, “the key that opened the last door” to the rest of the story. A name won’t necessarily serve as a springboard to inspiration, but Jewell always puts a lot of stock in the christening of characters.

When the pandemic lockdowns began, Jennifer Jewell, a garden writer and podcaster, was traveling on an East Coast speaking tour. “Quick,” they thought, “find a way home — and find seeds.”But like everyone that upside-down March three years ago, they were faced with the message “out of stock” on product after product, and catalog after catalog. At that point, it was not just the new pathogen that frightened Ms. Jewell. “It was a really primal fear of, ‘Wait a minute, if we can’t get seeds, we can’t eat,’” she recalled. “There was this visceral — human, mammalian, lizard brain, whatever you call it — fear,” she said.

CNN —Canadian police have identified a woman known as the “Nation River Lady,” nearly five decades after she went missing and was found dead floating in a river in Ontario, police said. Police say Langford, 48, became known as the “Nation River Lady,” after the Nation River in eastern Ontario where her remains were found on May 3, 1975. In March 2022, her remains were repatriated to the US followed by a memorial service and burial, the release says. Rodney Nichols, 81, was criminally charged with Langford’s murder at the Ontario Court of Justice late last year, the release states. “Detected members of our local crime unit in the criminal investigation branch have always believed this case was solvable, that we would one day identify the person who became known as the Nation River Lady,” Kearns said.

As a result, many Nigerians rely on petrol and diesel to fuel the generators that power their homes and businesses. Fuel shortages were a key issue in Nigeria’s recent presidential election and have made it increasingly difficult to run generators. His company Reeddi rents out small, lightweight solar-powered batteries called “Reeddi Capsules” that can power devices including TVs, laptops and refrigerators. One Reeddi Capsule can power a TV for around five hours, or a 15-watt fan for 15 hours.

A trader works as a screen displays the trading information for BlackRock on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, October 14, 2022. LONDON — European corporate earnings were surprisingly resilient in the fourth quarter of 2022, and the continent's stock outperformance of the U.S. looks set to continue, according to BlackRock . With earnings season winding down, the Wall Street giant highlighted in a note Tuesday that European fourth-quarter earnings showed corporate health extended beyond the region's bedrock sectors of banking and energy. "Europe is the only region globally where 2024 earnings revisions are just back in positive territory," Jewell said. "Earnings in the U.K. have also been a positive surprise, even when adjusted for the size of the financial and energy sectors."

St. Charles Parish President Matthew Jewell said 55 structures were damaged during the storms, 21 of which have been deemed uninhabitable.

☆ YouTube and Meta are going after TikTok's vulnerabilities in a high-stakes attempt to bring creators, users, and ad dollars to their short-form video platforms
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-27 | by ( Lindsay Rittenhouse | Lauren Johnson | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

YouTube and Meta look to short-form video as a way to revive declining ad revenue. Creators will be the key to enticing brands to advertise on short-form video apps. Meta, which reported a 3.6% year-over-year decline in ad sales, is also betting big on its short-form video format Reels. But even as Meta and YouTube lean into short-form video, advertisers still say TikTok comes out on top. But TikTok is still their priority for making short-form video content, said Kolin Kleveno, SVP of addressable media for Tinuiti.

A Washington state woman was injured after a bear knocked her to the ground outside her home Saturday morning, a wildlife official said. The bear was ultimately killed in the same area later in the morning by Fish and Wildlife officers, it said. "Black bear mothers seldom attack people in defense of cubs," the U.S. Forest Service said in a primer on black bears. Washington hasn't had a fatal black bear attack on humans since 1974, Fish and Wildlife officials said. Each case involved a different species, including a brown bear in Alaska, a black bear in Connecticut, and a grizzly in Wyoming, officials said.

So Jewell, a cofounder of the US nonprofit WildTrack, turned to artificial intelligence to help identify animal tracks using photos.

YouTube's new ad revenue-sharing program for Shorts creators is its latest effort to rival TikTok. Ad buyers say Shorts' rev-share program is bad news for TikTok, and worse news for Meta's Reels.

And advertisers predicted that even more creators will jump ship to YouTube Shorts thanks to its revenue-sharing program. Tinuiti's Kleveno said YouTube Shorts' revenue-sharing plan will put a ding in Reels' efforts to attract creators.
