July 13 (Reuters) - High river temperatures that look set to restrict power output at two French nuclear plants that use river water to cool reactors may trigger increased fossil fuel-fired power output elsewhere due to Europe's extensive regional power trading. French power system in hot waterIn turn, any increased output from fossil fuel-fired power plants will likely lift regional power sector emissions, undermining regional efforts to accelerate cuts to all forms of industrial pollution. France is also Europe's second largest electricity generator behind Germany, producing roughly 470 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity in 2022, compared to Germany's 582TWh, and 324TWh by Europe's third largest generator, the United Kingdom. France's high proportion of non-emitting nuclear power means that its power sector has by far the lowest carbon intensity of any major European economy, averaging around 85 grams of carbon dioxide per kilowatt hour of electricity produced. That compares to more than 385 grams in Germany, 257 in the United Kingdom, and 300 for Europe as a whole, Ember data shows.

No pressure, but your résumé has six seconds to make an impression before it is sent to the don’t-even-bother pile. That is how long a recruiter typically skims a résumé to decide whether to pass it on to a hiring manager, said J.T. O’Donnell, chief executive of career-coaching site Work It Daily. Recruiters often have hundreds of online applications to wade through, even with algorithms helping filter many of them out. They will likely give yours little more than a glance to judge whether you make it onto the shortlist of candidates.

The Class of 2023 is getting ready to enter a job market that is suddenly less eager to hire new grads. Many employers are taking a go-slow approach to employing graduating seniors this year, college career offices say.

Now some aspiring influencers are finding it more profitable to assist others in the industry. Many young Americans dream of making a living off creating YouTube, TikTok or Instagram content. Yet being an influencer doesn’t always mean an easy supply of free swag, trips and brand-endorsement deals. Few come close to the earning power of TikTok stars such as Charli and Dixie D’Amelio or the most popular videogame streamers on Twitch, who earn millions annually. Even small changes to a platform’s algorithm can derail a creator’s visibility, and income, overnight.

REUTERS/Eric GaillardPARIS, March 6 (Reuters) - France's 100 departmental prefects should not hesitate to enact quick decrees restricting local water use given alarmingly low groundwater levels, French Environment Minister Christophe Béchu said on Monday. The announcement came after Béchu met virtually with prefects to get a view of the country's overall water situation as the country experiences its driest winter since 1959. Low water levels last summer impacted hydroelectric production and forced reduced power output at France's nuclear plants, which use river water to cool reactors. In several parts of France there was also an interruption of drinking water, which Béchu said he was keen to avoid this year. A national water resource management plan, initially expected in January, is now slated to be published before the end of March, the ministry said.

A clip of French President Emmanuel Macron being slapped across the face at a meet-and-greet with members of the public was filmed in June 2021, but users shared the clip in November 2022 with false claims that the president had been slapped again. In June, a court ordered Damien Tarel, the man who slapped Macron on June 8, to serve four months in jail, BFM TV reported at the time (here). The clip was not filmed recently, and instead, shows an angle filmed from the opposite side of a guard railing that separated the French president from members of the public on June 8, 2021. The earliest iteration Reuters found showing the fresh angle of the 2021 incident was uploaded to Twitter on Nov 12 by French lawyer, Juan Branco (archive.ph/LOlJZ). Branco told Reuters that he represents Tarel and confirmed that the clip showed a different angle of the same 2021 incident (here), (here).
