Merchants have long shouldered these “swipe fees,” the catchall term for businesses’ payments to banks and card companies each time customers swipe. While a federal rule caps debit card swipe fees at 21 cents per transaction, those for credit cards can be much higher. The card network raised two of the credit card swipe fees it charges banks and processing companies on Jan. 1. The group is pushing for more transparency with credit card fees, more competition among networks and lower fees. Patz Deli in Manchester, New Hampshire, charges customers a 4% convenience fee for credit card transactions to cover the costs of processing fees and credit card equipment.

Chile’s president visited the South Pole on Friday in a bid to fortify his country’s territorial claims to part of Antarctica, as competition in the region is growing bit by bit. Gabriel Boric, the president, and a delegation of officials visited Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, a U.S. research base; the first time, his office said, that a Latin American president in office has set foot on the freezing continent. Mr. Boric called the trip “a landmark” and “a confirmation of our claim of sovereignty in this space.”At the other end of the world, the Arctic has drawn notice with climate change making the region more important for global trade, opening up access to its natural resources and intensifying military competition there. Antarctica, by contrast, remained comparatively under the radar.

While my body took longer to recover the older I got, I also learned to enjoy little things more. By my 30s, I had a few more kids, a lot more chaos, and maybe just a little less mental bandwidth. And yet, when that baby smiles at me when I hear that little giggle, I remember exactly why I'm doing it. Now, at 40, I'm hoping to conquer the laundry pile before the baby wakes up. The journey might be a little more challenging the older you get, but it's also much more rewarding.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is expected at a court hearing in New York Friday about whether he should be found in contempt of court, an appearance the longtime ally of President-elect Donald Trump sought to skip at the last minute. "Defendant cannot ask the Court both to consider his out-of-court signed declarations and to deprive Plaintiffs of the opportunity to cross-examine him on his statements in open court," Liman wrote in a ruling late Thursday. "Enough is enough," they wrote in a court filing urging Liman to slap Giuliani with "appropriate sanctions" to get him to comply with the orders. Their filing doesn't specify what those sanctions should be; the judge could fine or even jail Giuliani if he finds him in contempt. The contempt proceeding is one of two Giuliani faces relating to Freeman and Moss.

Senior loans — which are also referred to as syndicated loans, floating rate loans or bank loans — typically have floating interest rates tied to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).
