Cuando el CEO de TikTok, Shou Zi Chew, testifique ante el Congreso el jueves, planea revelar nuevos datos internos que sugieren que la popular aplicación para compartir videos está mucho más involucrada en la vida diaria de los estadounidenses de lo que nadie se da cuenta. TikTok actualmente dice que alrededor de 100 millones de personas en EEUU son usuarios habituales de la aplicación. Pero cuando Chew testifique ante el Comité de Energía y Comercio de la Cámara de Representantes, dirá que ese número ahora ha alcanzado los 150 millones, según un alto estratega demócrata que asesora a TikTok. Menores de edad solo podrán usar Tik Tok una hora al día Agencias federales tendrán 30 días para borrar Tik Tok de dispositivos gubernamentales, según la Casa Blanca Ese aumento del 50% en la cantidad de usuarios activos mensuales en EEUU sugiere que la aplicación se ha arraigado aún más en EEUU durante los casi tres años que Washington, baj...

ROME (AP) — Victor Osimhen combines the characteristics of a classic No. 9 with the talents of a modern striker.Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s dribbling wizardry and passing abilities befuddle defenders in Italy and beyond.Individually, Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia are devastating enough. Together, they are leading Napoli to new heights game after game.The latest demonstration came when Osimhen scored a brace of headers and Kvaratskhelia earned and converted a penalty and set up two goals in Napoli’s 4-0 win at Torino in Serie A on Sunday.The victory moved the runaway leader a staggering 21 points ahead of second-place Inter Milan and a step closer to Napoli’s first Serie A title since Diego Maradona led the club to its only two Italian league championships back in 1987 and 1990.Osimhen started it off midway through the first half when he leaped above the defense to redirect in a corner with a towering header.After a couple of key saves from Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret — who is also quietly ...

ST. FRANCIS BAY, South Africa (AP) — Matthew Baldwin claimed his maiden title on the European tour in style Sunday by storming to a seven-shot victory at the SDC Championship in South Africa.Baldwin finished with a 4-under 68 on the St. Francis Links course for 18 under overall as his challengers fell away.There was no pressure on him as he came home but Baldwin still collected five birdies and just one bogey in his final round for a first win 11 years after he first earned his card to play on the European tour.The Englishman had to put his career on hold in 2015 because of illness and lost his card the following year. His comeback to the tour was then delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and he said his long-awaited victory was dedicated to his stepfather, who died last year.“I’m not 100 per cent sure what’s just happened,” the 37-year-old Baldwin said. “It’s been a tough few years so obviously to get the win means absolutely everything.“I can’t process it right now but it ...

Colorado could be on daylight saving time permanently if new bill passes

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:09:17 GMT

(NEXSTAR) - While a bill to make daylight saving time permanent in the U.S. is making its way through Congress, a separate bill has been introduced in the House that would give states the power to lock their clocks. Under the Uniform Time Act of 1966, states can choose not to observe daylight saving time - the time between March and November - but can't choose to stay on daylight saving time year-round. Why isn’t Colorado on permanent daylight saving time? However, many states have enacted legislation that would put them on permanent daylight saving time if Congressional action gives them the opportunity. A new bill introduced by Representative Mike Rogers (R-Ala.) hopes to do just that. Rogers' bill, introduced earlier this month, would give states the power to stay on daylight saving time year-round. “Remaining on Daylight Saving time could have tremendous benefits for the economy and people’s health. Furthermore, changing our clocks twice a year is an unnecessary and outdated ...

(CNN) — Former Vice President Mike Pence balked at the idea of a potential indictment of Donald Trump, categorizing any possible prosecutorial actions as “politically charged” and “not what the American people want to see.”Speaking with ABC’s Jon Karl during a taped interview Saturday, Pence defended any peaceful protests that may break out at Trump’s behest, after the former president called for his supporters to “take our nation back,” while still condemning the egregious violence that the country witnessed at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.“The American people have a constitutional right to peacefully assemble,” Pence said, adding, “The frustration the American people feel about what they sense is a two-tiered justice system in this country, I think is well founded. But I believe that people understand that if they give voice to this — if this occurs on Tuesday, that they need to do so...

Whether you're growing your own produce or increasing your home's curb appeal, you may want to take into consideration a main target audience for your garden: local pollinators.
