Google is about to celebrate its 25th birthday but all its CEO can think about is AI. CEO Sundar Pichai said in a blogpost that AI "may be bigger than the internet itself." Google has focused more on AI after ChatGPT threatened to rock its core business earlier this year. But its CEO can't help but think about how AI is about to be a much bigger deal. In the Tuesday blogpost, Pichai said AI represented a "fundamental rewiring of technology and an incredible accelerant of human ingenuity."

Hedge funds and other money managers purchased the equivalent of 19 million barrels in the NYMEX and ICE U.S. crude (WTI) futures and options contracts over the seven days ending on August 29. Bearish short positions in the premier NYMEX WTI contract had been reduced to just 49 million barrels, down from 136 million. Total commercial crude inventories had fallen into line with the prior ten-year average on August 25 while stocks at Cushing had depleted to almost 30% below the average. Hedge fund managers have been trying to get bullish towards U.S. gas prices, and the inventory surplus inherited from 2022 has been shrinking.

[1/3] Aug 29, 2023; Flushing, NY, USA; Aryna Sabalenka in action against Maryna Zanevska of Belgium on day two of the 2023 U.S. Open tennis tournament at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The Australian Open champion converted three of her four break point opportunities and saved the two break points she faced during the 74-minute match in Louis Armstrong Stadium. The Belarusian second seed consolidated an early break for a 3-0 lead and while Burrage responded with holds to love on her next two service games Sabalenka leaned on her own serve to seal the opening set. Sabalenka was barely tested in the second set where she hit a forehand winner to go up a double break before closing it out with a hold to love. Up next for Sabalenka will be a clash against Frenchwoman Clara Burel, a 6-4 6-2 winner over Czech 25th seed Karolina Pliskova.

☆ Saving $100 a week from age 25 could give you over $1 million when you retire
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-30 | by ( Noah Sheidlower | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

The key to a comfortable retirement may be saving $100 a week starting at 25. The chart below shows how much you can save up by putting away $400 a month starting on your 25th birthday, assuming that historically reasonable 7% annual return. Putting this into perspective, if people saved just $100 a month starting at 25, they'd save over $250,000 by 65 because of compounding interest. This jumps to over $550,000 when saving $50 a week starting at 25, which highlights Milken's suggestion to focus on "holistic life planning." About 25% of Americans lack retirement savings, while half have no access to employer-sponsored retirement plans, The Motley Fool reported based on data from the Federal Reserve.

NEWCASTLE, England, Aug 27 (Reuters) - Darwin Nunez came off the bench to score twice as Liverpool snatched a sensational 2-1 Premier League win at Newcastle United on Sunday, with the visitors bouncing back from a straight red card in the first half for captain Virgil van Dijk. The introduction of Nunez proved a game-changer and he got the equaliser when Sven Botman fluffed his lines, allowing Nunez to rifle the ball across Nick Pope and in at the far post. "I feel very happy for the team to be able to help them," a beaming Nunez told Sky Sports, with keeper Alisson acting as his translator. We work really hard for these moments, and I am happy to score the two goals to help the team," he added.

Young rioters in Belfast in support of the Irish Republican hunger striker Bobby Sands in 1981 Photo: Peter Marlow / Magnum PhotosThe “Troubles” that beset Northern Ireland for three decades have hardly been neglected by TV and movies over the years, so encountering the five-part “Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland” on PBS might raise a question about timing. This year does mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, which was signed in 1998, but the peace has never been easy, not enough to risk old wounds being reopened. But the answer to “Why right now?” becomes obvious fairly early in the series, “right now” being the only time this particular study could have been done.

☆ This story of when Steve Jobs 'blew up' over a photographer is a classic example of what his biographer called 'Bad Steve'
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-21 | by ( Haley Tenore | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Steve Jobs apparently "blew up" because he was unhappy with a photographer ahead of iMac's release. Levy writes that Jobs also was also unsure of a different photographer, but eventually was won over. A quarter of a century ago, in 1998, Steve Jobs announced the iMac — a piece of technology that reverberated across the personal computer industry and aided Apple's comeback. Jobs didn't calm down until Clow showed Jobs that the colors were in fact, correct, the biographer wrote in his book. Andy Cunningham, for example, told Insider that Jobs fired her "about five times."

I'll be going to Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday to be ARRESTED by a Radical Left District Attorney, Fani Willis," Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who launched the investigation into Trump and his allies, has given the defendants until noon Friday to voluntarily surrender. Trump earlier Monday agreed to a $200,000 bond in the Georgia criminal case charging him with trying to illegally overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the state. Eastman — who's referenced but not charged as a co-conspirator in special counsel Jack Smith's federal criminal case against Trump for allegedly trying to subvert the 2020 election results — features prominently and repeatedly in the DA's indictment. Ray Smith, another Trump lawyer who was allegedly involved in the electors scheme, agreed to a $50,000 bond order, court filings show.

Donald Trump must surrender to Fulton County, Georgia, authorities by August 25. When you voluntarily surrender, you turn yourself in at a precinct of your own accord instead of being taken into custody by officials. In this case, Trump and his 18 allies must surrender to Fulton County authorities. Once they surrender, they will be booked and processed at the Fulton County Jail, which could include being fingerprinted and taking mugshots. In June, Trump voluntarily appeared in Miami court for arraignment after being accused of taking classified documents from the White House and bringing them to his home at Mar-a-Lago, hiding them from authorities.

On an Instagram account that is followed by verified accounts of other “Big Brother” contestants, Valentine posted an apology to his story, along with a photo of himself and a prayer hands emoji. “YEARS of problematic behavior and language in the Big Brother house going unpunished led to fans and former houseguests speaking up,” Herren posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.

These were some of the conditions that about 40,000 teenage scouts had to contend with in the past week at the World Scout Jamboree, sending red-faced organisers in South Korea scrambling to fix matters before a looming typhoon forced everyone to leave the ill-fated campsite. As far back as 2017, when South Korea won the bid to host the jamboree, the campsite on reclaimed mud flats was seen as potentially problematic, according to a Reuters review of publicly available government reports. Matt Hyde, UK Scouts' chief executive, told Reuters the group decided to withdraw its contingent - the event's biggest - because toilets weren't being cleaned, rubbish was building up, and scouts weren't getting enough food.

REUTERS/Kim Hong-JiBUAN, South Korea, Aug 8 (Reuters) - South Korea on Tuesday started evacuating thousands of teenage participants at the World Scout Jamboree from a campsite in the southwest of the country to safer areas mainly around the capital Seoul ahead of an approaching typhoon. Typhoon Khanun, which has already wreaked havoc in southern Japan, is expected to hit southern areas of South Korea on Thursday before tracking up the peninsula, bringing strong winds and rain, according to weather forecasters. Seoul and its surrounding province of Gyeonggi would host more than 16,000 scouts, with others fanning out to six other areas of South Korea, he said. Poland is due to host the next World Scout Jamboree in 2027, but President Andrzej Duda cancelled plans to visit the event in South Korea this week due to the typhoon, an official at the Polish Embassy in Seoul said.

☆ The Long, Long Reign of ‘Big Brother’

When she was first approached to host the CBS reality competition show “Big Brother,” in the summer of 2000, Julie Chen Moonves didn’t know what to think. “I was very confused, and as a journalist I had a million questions,” she said in a late July phone interview. I pictured it like ‘Survivor’ with air-conditioning.”“Big Brother,” which premiered on July 5, 2000, has just entered its 25th season. Chen Moonves is still the host, and “‘Survivor’ with air-conditioning” is still a pretty accurate description. Like that network peer, “Big Brother” has weathered vitriolic criticism, survived seismic changes to the landscape of television and endured countless trend cycles in both reality TV and network programming as a whole.

After several setbacks at the World Scout Jamboree, the South Korea-hosted event faces yet another hurdle: As Typhoon Khanun makes its way to the nation’s coast this week, the participants will be leaving the campsite early. On Monday, the South Korean government informed the world Scout body that “an early departure will be planned for all participants at the 25th World Scout Jamboree from the campsite in Samangeum.” The scouts plan to move out of the site, which lies on a reclaimed wetland on the southwest coast of the peninsula, on Tuesday. The Scout authority cited an incoming typhoon as the primary reason for the premature departure. The host of the event, the Korea Scout Association, also listed “ongoing weather conditions” in a statement as the reason behind the early departure from the event’s main campsite. Typhoon Khanun is expected to make landfall on the nation’s southeastern coast on Thursday morning, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration.
