Chicago Sun-Times - All | ComEd electric customers brace for double-digit spike in bills by Brett Chase AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. ComEd electric customers in Chicago will face at least a 12 % increase in their monthly residential bills—rising from an average of $107 to $120—starting in June, as a temporary consumer‑credit tied to nuclear and renewable energy expires and AI‑driven data centers, which now number over 80 in northern Illinois with another 75 projects proposed, drive up power demand. The surge reflects both the credit’s loss and the high‑energy consumption of these facilities, which are outpacing the state’s ability to replace retiring coal plants with new wind and solar capacity. Utility officials say the rates are set by the PJM grid operator, not by ComEd, and advocates are urging that data‑center operators fund clean‑energy upgrades and greater regulatory oversight to curb further price hikes.

Irish Independent : Independent | LinkedIn planning to cut 5pc of staff as tech industry layoffs continue AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. LinkedIn, the Microsoft‑owned professional networking site that employs over 2,000 people in Ireland, is preparing to cut roughly 5 % of its Irish staff as part of a re‑organisation aimed at focusing resources on faster‑growing business areas, according to Reuters. The layoffs are not linked to AI‑driven job displacement, and come despite a 12 % revenue increase in the latest quarter. The move follows a wave of tech‑sector cutbacks across companies such as Coinbase, Meta, Amazon and PayPal, and follows LinkedIn’s recent opening of a new EMEA headquarters in Dublin and Microsoft’s broader voluntary redundancy programmes in its Irish operations.

On Wednesday, May 13, CNBC’s analyst‑call roundup highlighted a series of upgrades and price‑target changes across a range of stocks.

Walmart has eliminated 1,000 positions as part of a move to simplify its operating structure under CEO John Furner and a reshaped leadership team.

The company has been consolidating its U.S., Sam’s Club and international operations onto a single, shared technology platform, a change highlighted in an internal memo from heads of global technology and AI acceleration.

Al Jazeera – Breaking News, World News and Video from Al Jazeera | EBay rejects GameStop’s $56bn bid as ‘neither credible nor attractive’ AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. eBay has turned down GameStop’s $56 billion takeover proposal, calling it “neither credible nor attractive” and citing doubts over financing, potential impacts on eBay’s long‑term growth and the leadership structure of a combined firm. The bid, put forward by GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen—who owns a 5 % stake in eBay—relied on a $20 billion debt commitment from TD Bank and combined cash and stock payments, but analysts questioned whether the financing would hold up, especially given Moody’s view that the deal would be credit‑negative for eBay. eBay’s chairman Paul Pressler emphasized that under CEO Jamie Iannone the company’s turnaround has already delivered strong performance, with a 201 % stock gain in six years and a 31 % EBITDA margin, far outpacing GameStop’s 10 % margin. While Cohen argues that merging the two could generate cost synergies and leverage GameStop’s physical store network to better rival Amazon, investors remain skeptical, and the offer has already prompted some GameStop shareholders, such as Michael Burry, to sell their stakes.

The Guardian | GameStop’s $55.5bn bid for eBay rejected as ‘neither credible nor attractive’ by Joanna Partridge AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. eBay’s board has turned down GameStop’s unsolicited $55.5 billion offer to buy the online marketplace, calling the proposal “neither credible nor attractive” and citing uncertainty over how GameStop would finance the deal, its borrowing levels, and the operational risks of merging the two companies. GameStop, which has accumulated a 5 % stake in eBay, proposed a price of $125 per share funded by about $9.4 billion of cash and roughly $20 billion of debt financing, leaving a shortfall of around $16 billion relative to its own market value of roughly $12 billion and eBay’s $46 billion valuation. CEO Ryan Cohen, who has been linked to GameStop since 2020, was unable to explain the financing during a CNBC interview and hinted at a possible hostile bid if the board remains unreceptive. The rejection comes amid GameStop’s recent store closures, its meme‑stock legacy, and eBay’s own strategic moves, including a pending $1.2 billion acquisition of the fashion resale app Depop.

English – The Conversation | Amazon is making drone deliveries in the UK – here’s why nimbyism could hamper a wider rollout by Paul Cureton, Senior Lecturer in Design (People, Places, Products), Lancaster University AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Amazon has begun using its MK30 Prime Air drones to deliver everyday parcels (under 5 lb and excluding batteries) to homes within 7.5 miles of its Darlington fulfillment centre, dropping them from about 12 feet onto a garden, terrace or yard after scanning for obstacles; the service can run up to ten flights per hour in daylight and is authorised for beyond‑visual‑line‑of‑sight operations until at least 18 June. While the trial provides valuable data on drone performance across mixed residential, green‑space and road environments, residents have raised concerns about noise, privacy, safety and theft—a pattern of “drone NIMBYism” also seen in Dublin and Canberra that threatens wider roll‑out despite the UK government’s 2027 delivery‑drone roadmap and projects like the now‑uncertain Skyway super‑highway. The authors argue that careful, consultative planning—such as selecting launch‑pad sites, assessing environmental impacts and involving local communities—is essential to balance the economic and social benefits of drone delivery with the costs and to avoid opposition that could stall the technology’s expansion.

Il Fatto Quotidiano: L’Hantavirus della nave da crociera uccise la moglie di Gene Hackman, ma con importanti differenze: ecco perché L’Hantavirus al centro del focolaio sulla nave da crociera MV Hondius non è nuovo. E’ una vecchia conoscenza che, seppur nota dalla scienza da decenni, ha fatto parlare di sé poco più di un anno fa. Esattamente a febbraio 2025, quando uccise Betsy Arakawa, la moglie del defunto attore Gene Hackman. Hackman e Arakawa furono entrambi trovati morti nella loro casa di Santa Fe, nel New Mexico. Hackman, di 95 anni, morì qualche giorno dopo la moglie per cause naturali: un’insufficienza cardiaca unita a diverse complicazioni dovute all’Alzheimer. Arakawa, di 65 anni, morì a causa della sindrome polmonare da Hantavirus. Sebbene il virus responsabile del decesso della donna e quello che ha colpito i passeggeri della MV Hondius appartengano alla stessa famiglia, le dinamiche del contagio appaiono profondamente diverse. Gli Hantavirus vengono normalmente trasmessi all’uomo attraverso il contatto diretto con urina, feci o saliva di roditori infetti. Tuttavia, mentre la trasmissione interumana è considerata un evento estremamente raro, le autorità sanitarie sospettano che sia stata proprio questa la modalità di diffusione tra i passeggeri della nave. Nel caso di Betsy Arakawa, invece, il contagio seguì una via più “classica”. Un’ispezione ambientale nella proprietà di Santa Fe rivelò una massiccia presenza di roditori: furono rinvenuti escrementi in diversi edifici di pertinenza della villa, tra cui tre garage, due dépendance e tre capanni. I rilievi confermarono inoltre il ritrovamento di nidi e di esemplari, sia vivi che morti, all’interno dei garage. Le indagini successive hanno ricostruito i difficili giorni precedenti la tragedia. La Arakawa era stata vista in pubblico con indosso una mascherina e le analisi dei suoi dispositivi elettronici hanno rivelato ricerche online relative ai sintomi del Covid-19 e a sindromi influenzali. La donna aveva inoltre acquistato bombole d’ossigeno su Amazon: un estremo tentativo di “supporto respiratorio” che testimonia come lei, o lo stesso Hackman, stessero combattendo contro le letali difficoltà respiratorie. L'articolo L’Hantavirus della nave da crociera uccise la moglie di Gene Hackman, ma con importanti differenze: ecco perché proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano. The cruise ship hantavirus killed the wife of Gene Hackman, but with important differences: here's why The Hantavirus at the center of the outbreak on the MV Hondius cruise ship is not new. It’s an old acquaintance that, although known to science for decades, made headlines just over a year ago. Exactly in February 2025, when it killed Betsy Arakawa, the wife of the deceased actor Gene Hackman. Hackman and Arakawa were both found dead in their Santa Fe, New Mexico home. Hackman, at 95 years old, died a few days after his wife due to natural causes: a heart failure combined with several complications due to Alzheimer’s disease. Arakawa, at 65 years old, died from Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. Although the virus responsible for the woman’s death and that which affected the passengers of the MV Hondius belong to the same family, the dynamics of transmission appear profoundly different. Hantaviruses are normally transmitted to humans through direct contact with the urine, feces, or saliva of infected rodents. However, while interhuman transmission is considered an extremely rare event, health authorities suspect that this was the mode of spread among the ship’s passengers. In the case of Betsy Arakawa, instead, the contagion followed a more “classic” route. An environmental inspection of the Santa Fe property revealed a massive presence of rodents: excrements were found in several buildings associated with the villa, including three garages, two outbuildings, and three shacks. The findings also confirmed the discovery of nests and specimens, both alive and dead, inside the garages. Subsequent investigations reconstructed the difficult days preceding the tragedy. Arakawa had been seen in public wearing a mask, and analysis of her electronic devices revealed online searches related to the symptoms of COVID-19 and influenza syndromes. The woman had also purchased oxygen cylinders on Amazon: an extreme attempt at “respiratory support” that testified to the fact that she, or Hackman himself, were fighting against the deadly respiratory difficulties. The article “The Cruise Ship Hantavirus Killed Gene Hackman’s Wife, but with Important Differences: Here’s Why” comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano. #GeneHackman #BetsyArakawa #Hackman #Arakawa #SantaFe #NewMexico #Hantaviruses #Amazon #IlFattoQuotidiano https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2026/05/12/lhantavirus-della-nave-da-crociera-uccise-la-moglie-di-gene-hackman-ma-con-importanti-differenze-ecco-perche/8383097/

Il Tempo: Comunicato Stampa: Giampaolo Luparia lancia il bestseller “Architettura Della Pagina” Milano, 12.05.2026 – Molti autori, editori e professionisti dell'editoria, nel tentativo di realizzare libri di qualità, sono portati a concentrarsi esclusivamente sul contenuto, trascurando l'importanza della forma e della struttura della pagina. Ciò che spesso si ignora è che la pagina può diventare un alleato decisivo per la riuscita di un libro, purché si impari a progettarla in modo consapevole, riconoscendone le logiche, le gerarchie e il ruolo fondamentale nella leggibilità e nella percezione del valore dell'opera. Per tutti coloro che desiderano trasformare un manoscritto in un libro professionale, leggibile e competitivo sul mercato, esce oggi il libro di “Il mio libro parla di come dare al contenuto una forma capace di sostenerlo e valorizzarlo. Affronto i principi dell'architettura della pagina, la leggibilità, la gerarchia visiva, la coerenza tipografica e gli errori più comuni che penalizzano la lettura” afferma Come precisa lo stesso autore, l'idea di scrivere questo libro nasce dal fatto che, nel proprio lavoro, incontra spesso autori e case editrici con idee valide e contenuti solidi che però faticano a emergere nella forma giusta. Da qui l'idea di creare una guida concreta per accompagnarli in questo percorso, con soluzioni pratiche e un metodo chiaro. “Da editore conosco bene il mondo dei libri e so bene quanto le scelte tecniche e strutturali impattino profondamente sulla resa finale di un testo” incalza “Ho deciso di affidarmi a Il libro è disponibile su Amazon a questo indirizzo: La responsabilità editoriale e i contenuti di cui al presente comunicato stampa sono a cura di Bruno Editore Press Release: Giampaolo Luparia launches the bestseller “Architecture of the Page” Milan, 12.05.2026 – Many authors, publishers, and publishing professionals, in their attempt to create quality books, are prone to focusing exclusively on content, neglecting the importance of form and page structure. What is often overlooked is that the page can become a decisive ally in the success of a book, provided that it is learned to design consciously, recognizing its logic, hierarchies, and fundamental role in readability and the perception of the value of the work. For all those who want to transform a manuscript into a professional, readable, and competitive book on the market, the book by “My book talks about how to give content a form that supports and enhances it. I address the principles of page architecture, readability, visual hierarchy, typographic consistency, and the most common errors that penalize reading” says As the author himself specifies, the idea of writing this book arose from the fact that, in his work, he often encounters authors and publishing houses with valid ideas and solid content that struggle to emerge in the right form. Hence the idea of creating a concrete guide to accompany them on this path, with practical solutions and a clear method. “As an editor, I know well the world of books and I know how much technical and structural choices profoundly impact the final rendering of a text” he urges “I decided to entrust it to The book is available on Amazon at this address: #GiampaoloLuparia #Milan #Amazon https://www.iltempo.it/press-release/2026/05/12/news/comunicato-stampa-giampaolo-luparia-lancia-il-bestseller-architettura-della-pagina--47682575/

Sicilianews24.it: Anelli degli alberi: rivelazioni sul cambiamento climatico in Amazzonia e il suo impatto. I cambiamenti nel clima dell’Amazzonia Negli ultimi anni, l’Amazzonia ha affrontato alcune delle peggiori crisi idriche della sua storia. Uno studio condotto da scienziati del Regno Unito e del Brasile ha analizzato gli anelli di crescita degli alberi per comprendere appieno le dinamiche climatiche della regione. Il 2024 ha visto il verificarsi di una delle peggiori siccità mai registrate, con livelli d’acqua nel porto di Manaus, la città principale lungo il fiume Amazon, scesi a 12,68 metri, il valore più basso dal 1902. Questi eventi estremi richiedono una riflessione seria sulle cause alla base di queste modifiche. Le osservazioni indicano che negli ultimi quattro decenni c’è stata un’intensificazione dei fenomeni estremi: le piogge si sono amplificate durante la stagione delle piogge e si sono ridotte durante quella secca. Questo fenomeno è attribuibile a vari fattori, tra cui la deforestazione e il cambiamento climatico, con effetti diretti sull’ecosistema forestale e sul ciclo del carbonio. Gli scienziati stanno individuando la complessità di questi cambiamenti, chiara evidenza che qualcosa di significativo sta avvenendo. L'articolo Anelli degli alberi: rivelazioni sul cambiamento climatico in Amazzonia e il suo impatto. sembra essere il primo su Sicilianews24.it. Tree rings: revelations about climate change in the Amazon and its impact. Changes in the Climate of the Amazon In recent years, the Amazon has faced some of the worst droughts in its history. A study conducted by scientists from the United Kingdom and Brazil analyzed tree growth rings to fully understand the climatic dynamics of the region. 2024 saw the occurrence of one of the worst droughts ever recorded, with water levels in the port of Manaus, the main city along the Amazon River, dropping to 12.68 meters, the lowest level since 1902. These extreme events require serious consideration of the causes behind these changes. Observations indicate that over the past four decades there has been an intensification of extreme phenomena: rainfall has increased during the rainy season and decreased during the dry season. This phenomenon is attributable to various factors, including deforestation and climate change, with direct effects on the forest ecosystem and the carbon cycle. Scientists are identifying the complexity of these changes, clear evidence that something significant is happening. The article “Tree Rings: Revelations about Climate Change in the Amazon and Its Impact” appears to be the first on Sicilianews24.it. #Amazon #theUnitedKingdom #Brazil #Manaus #AmazonRiver #1268meters #first https://www.sicilianews24.it/anelli-degli-alberi-rivelazioni-sul-cambiamento-climatico-in-amazzonia-e-il-suo-impatto-828443.html

National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that, despite a wave of tech layoffs at companies such as Amazon, Meta, Oracle and Block, there is “no sign in the data” that artificial‑intelligence technology is currently costing anyone their job; he emphasized that the administration is studying AI’s future impact on the workforce and has set up a task force to assess it, while firms cite AI‑driven automation and the move to smaller, highly skilled teams as reasons for recent staffing reductions.

The Guardian | Forget the AI job apocalypse. AI’s real threat is worker control and surveillance by Nazrul Islam AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The article argues that the real threat of artificial intelligence at work isn’t mass unemployment but a growing divide between workers who use AI to augment their skills and those who are controlled and surveilled by opaque AI systems. While higher‑paid, autonomous roles (analysts, lawyers, managers) can benefit from AI as a “copilot” that speeds routine tasks and frees creativity, many lower‑paid workers face “bossware” that schedules, monitors, and judges performance, turning AI into a manager that dictates shifts, task timing and productivity metrics. This algorithmic management spreads from warehouses and gig platforms to corporate offices and schools, intensifying stress and eroding dignity, trust and control. The author calls for equitable AI skill training, transparent and contestable systems, and genuine worker participation in how AI is introduced, warning that without these safeguards the AI divide will cement a new, hidden inequality in the labour market.
