To be clear, in this loop we have a westward moving, dissipating cyclonic tornado AND and newly developed anticyclonic tornado also moving west-southwest with a debris signature. This storm produced a “large and extremely dangerous” tornado north of Loveland, Oklahoma, just before 10 p.m. CDT, according to a weather service warning. Reflectivity (left) and velocity (right) radar imagery captures a tornado taking a looping path just north of Loveland, Oklahoma, Tuesday night. Reflectivity (left) and velocity (right) radar imagery shows an anticyclonic tornado in progress just southeast of Loveland, Oklahoma, on Tuesday night. Most anticyclonic tornadoes are weak and short-lived, meaning this twister was rare on two fronts.

Read previewWhen Taylor Swift uploaded a YouTube Shorts video to promote her new album on April 19, Blogilates founder Cassey Ho was getting her roots touched up at a hair salon. AdvertisementBut given their connected history, Ho thinks Swift may have seen one of her promotional videos for the skort. The bigger pictureWhile Ho is ecstatic about Swift wearing her skort design from the perspective of a business owner and Swiftie, she's also grateful for another reason. Ho also said she's seen new knockoffs popping up now that Swift has been seen wearing the original. But in the meantime, she said, Swift wearing the original feels like the "ultimate karma" against shops that have stolen her work — something Swift herself is deeply familiar with.

☆ Cramer: The 'proximate cause' of Super Micro's 23% drop Friday? Go back to March 8
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-21 | by ( Jim Cramer | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +10 min

At law school, we learned about "proximate cause," one of the few valuable concepts you can take from three years of drudgery. But was that the proximate cause? No, the real proximate cause, the one that's really at fault, was the February unemployment report, which came out on March 8. At the time, many thought the proximate cause of Nvidia's pirouette was the performance of two chipmaker peers. Surely those two updates couldn't be the proximate cause of the peak of Nvidia, right?

☆ Jim Cramer reviews the Dow's five worst performers during the first quarter
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-01 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: 1 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Monday analyzed the five worst-performing stocks on the Dow Jones Industrial Average during the first quarter, saying which ones he thinks may be worth keeping an eye on. "Normally I don't believe in the concept of a stock pivoting in such a short period of time — three months does not a pirouette make," he said. "But I think companies can lay the groundwork, and I see some of them doing that, so let's get to the five worst performers from the first quarter and I'll tell you the levels where their stocks could be enticing." Here are the five stocks, starting with the worst first, according to FactSet:"The worst performers in the Dow include stocks that ... have both hair and flies on them, in a market that demands a pristine story," he said. "And there's nothing pristine about this list; do not kid yourself."

☆ Euro zone inflation tumble pits ECB against markets

Inflation has dropped quickly towards the ECB's 2% target from levels above 10% just a year ago but policymakers have cautioned against excessive optimism. The rapid inflation slowdown puts the euro zone central bank and investors on a collision course as the two appear to see greatly different paths ahead, both for consumer prices and ECB interest rates. "And if the recent trends in inflation and growth continue then 2024 will be the year when the ECB implements a pirouette in monetary policy." "The market is therefore right to start looking at rate cuts for 2024. Some economists argue that modelling current inflation is exceptionally difficult because corporate profits are the main driver, not wages as in normal bouts of rapid inflation.

And with the game streaming the day after Thanksgiving, Amazon could capture some of the holiday viewership, which broke records last year. ESPN's pivotESPN has long ruled sports programming on traditional TV. Yet even as the streaming trend picks up, sports programming is helping keep cable and traditional TV alive, for the moment.

☆ Hyundai Shows Off 'Crab-Driving' Tech in Ioniq 5 Prototype: Video
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-27 | by ( Tim Levin | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Hyundai showed off a new technology called e-Corner in a recent video. Hyundai Mobis, the carmaker's parts division, released a new video of a technology it's developing called e-Corner. The clip shows a Hyundai Ioniq 5 electric vehicle pull up directly beside an open parking spot, turn all four wheels perpendicular to the curb, and just scoot right on in. Once again, the Ioniq 5 swivels its wheels outward, but this time the front and rear wheels spin in opposite directions, making the Ioniq 5 spin in place. Later in the video, the Ioniq 5 does a "pivot turn," where the front-right wheel stays in place while the back of the vehicle swings outward.

United eventually won its Europa League game 3-0 but almost immediately, Antony’s showboating prompted a furious reaction online and from pundits while his teammates defended him. He’s [Antony] done that then puts the ball out of play. Doing that with nobody near him and then he puts the ball out of play,” former Wales international Robbie Savage said on BT Sport commentary. You’re trying to win the game, move the ball quickly, nobody near him and he puts the ball out of play. “I don’t have a problem with tricks as long as it’s functional,” Ten Hag said after the game.
