50.jili Qatar tribune It’s an abiding promise of newly elected American presidents: The executive branch henceforth will be liberated from the perils of waste, fraud and abuse. President-elect Donald Trump, in his contribution to the canon, has announced he’ll create the Department of Government Efficiency, led by tech impresarios Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. The aim, Trump says, is to “dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies.” There’s reason to be skeptical about Trump’s ambitions for this body. And many previous efforts along these lines — from the Truman Committee to Al Gore’s “reinventing government” initiative — have failed to tame the federal leviathan. But the goal of getting taxpayers better value for their money remains eminently desirable. As a start, any effort of this kind requires setting achievable goals — and Musk and Ramaswamy have already emphasized a good one. They want to get federal workers back to the office. Long after the pandemic, government buildings are still conspicuously underpopulated. In his 2022 State of the Union address, President Joe Biden called on federal workers to return to their offices, and his administration has periodically urged people back to their desks, but with little apparent effect. A recent report on telework arrangements at four agencies found that one (the Veterans Benefits Administration) has failed to collect the data it needs to manage the system effectively, and that the other three (the Farm Service Agency, the Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) haven’t evaluated telework’s effects on performance. There’s little here to allay taxpayers’ suspicions that absence from the office means less work being done. What taxpayers should expect from public services would, more generally, be a good focus for DOGE’s efforts. The client-facing aspects of the U.S. government badly need attention. Whether it’s filing taxes, claiming benefits, buying savings bonds from TreasuryDirect, securing licenses and permissions, or dealing with regulators with overlapping jurisdictions, effective customer service rarely seems to be a priority. Entrepreneurs like Musk and Ramaswamy don’t need to be told why this matters. As important as this mission is, however, voters should be realistic. Musk once said he aimed to cut “at least $2 trillion” from Biden’s proposed $6.5 trillion-a-year budget. On the face of it, such a claim isn’t credible: It would mean cutting all spending, including defense, Medicare and Social Security, by a third. Trump has already promised to protect the main entitlement programs. Regardless of who’s in charge, even modest cuts in such spending are politically perilous. The savings from thinning the federal workforce, as Musk and Ramaswamy have advocated, are trivial when set against the biggest outlays. Another concern is that both men may have conflicts of interest and, as outside advisers, may not be subject to normal disclosure rules. For their effort to work, they’ll need to be forthright with the public about their financial involvements. Ideally, DOGE would aim to strengthen and broaden the audit powers that currently reside with the Government Accountability Office (which advises Congress) and the Office of Management and Budget (a branch of the White House). To the general public, these existing functions are all but invisible and lack teeth: Too often, reports are issued and little if anything happens. DOGE could improve this oversight by publicizing opportunities to make government work better — by highlighting the real waste, duplication, underperformance and poor customer service that the existing audit systems let slide, as well as recommending changes. Set up that way, DOGE can promote accountability as well as transparency. But to succeed, its leaders will need to know what they’re talking about and command credibility with taxpayers. Musk and Ramaswamy should be commended for their ambition. They should also remember that fixing the government is an incredibly arduous task — and making ridiculous promises doesn’t help.

Currencynewsbreaks Paypal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL) Partners With Mollie To Enhance Payment Solutions In Europe And The UKOrigin co-founder, John Bissell at the Origin Materials 1 biomaterials pilot plant in Sarnia, ... [+] Ontario, Canada. Plastics are essential to modern life, but their convenience comes at a steep environmental cost. They are made by distilling mined hydrocarbons in a refinery—a process that releases carbon dioxide and other pollutants. Many plastics are used only once, after which they accumulate in landfills, make their way into rivers and oceans, and disturb marine food chains . Recent studies have found that microplastics also make their way into breast milk , suggesting they are an unfortunate component of human food chains as well. The negative environmental impacts of conventionally manufactured plastics are what makes biomaterials such a hot topic. Origin Materials’ (ORGN) has developed a truly revolutionary insight into this hot topic: its scientists have found a way to produce common plastics and other materials using a feedstock of biomaterials like wood chips, cardboard, and sawdust. In the process of bringing this revolutionary innovation to life, Origin’s scientists stumbled onto a second good idea, one which is less revolutionary but has the advantage of being immediately cash flow generative: a novel manufacturing process that increases the recyclability of single-use plastic containers. The potential climate impact of Origin’s biomaterials technology is astounding. Rearranging hydrogen and carbon atoms to produce common plastics like PET (a type of plastic used to produce everything from drink bottles to synthetic fabric) means that not as much oil must be extracted from underground. Origin’s manufacturing advance enhances plastic recycling, reducing the amount of oil refined into plastic. Other biomaterials companies try to process organic waste to mimic the capabilities of the materials we use in everyday life, an approach that typically results in inferior materials that fall apart too easily, cannot withstand extreme temperatures, etc. In contrast, Origin can create the very same plastics and materials we use every day without further unbalancing the planet’s carbon cycle. FBI Warns iPhone And Android Users—Stop Sending Texts Microsoft’s New Update—Bad News Confirmed For 400 Million Windows Users Smartphone Security Warning—Make These Changes Now Or Become A Victim Operationalizing such a revolutionary innovation isn’t easy, and Origin shareholders have had a rough ride. The company announced several years of delays in constructing its first large-scale commercial plant, leading to a gut-wrenching fall in share price over just a few harrowing trading sessions. Origin's stock price took a greater than 60% hit after management announced significant delays to ... [+] the construction of its large-scale commercial biomaterials plant, OM2, in the third quarter of 2023. Origin’s management, to its credit, scrambled to pivot to a partnership model that would allow it to fund a large-scale commercial plant with less of its own capital and harnessed its plastics chemistry expertise to launch a cash-generative recycling-related business to preserve cash on its balance sheet and avoid the threat of delisting. Origin’s biomaterials technology transforms wood scraps into real plastic Founded in 2008 by John Bissell and Ryan Smith, Origin Materials has pioneered a technology based on CMF (chloromethyl furfural), a new chemical platform created from a feedstock of lignocellulosic biomass (anything made from crushed, cut, or chipped wood). Origin’s new chemical platform enables the production of plastics like PET and other industrial chemicals identical to those derived from hydrocarbons without the environmental impacts of oil extraction and refining. The company believes that, depending on the energy mix of the grid from which a large-scale commercial Origin facility draws power, the company can produce plastics that have very low or even negative carbon footprints without resorting to CCS (please see my series on CCS to learn more about this controversial technology). The market size for the suite of products Origin can produce is astounding—trillions of dollars per year. Origin Materials' biomaterials platform uses CMF as its "trunk", from which various products, ... [+] including PET plastics, nylons, epoxies, and many other basic chemicals can be manufactured. While the company scrambled to find capital partners to help fund the construction of a commercial-scale biomaterials plant, Origin’s management realized that its research into the chemistry of PET enabled it to do something no other firm had been able to do at commercial scale: produce bottle caps made out of PET. Thus, Origin’s secondary product line was born: the “caps and closures” business, which sells caps to large drink companies and licenses its unique technology to other caps and closures manufacturers. The ability to produce PET caps confers a big advantage in plastics recycling, and this niche market is worth $65 billion annually. While the caps and closures business has neither the impact nor the market size of its biomaterials platform, the promise of decent near-term cash flow from this niche did provide the impetus for Origin’s stock price to rise above $1 per share, saving management from having to use a “reverse split” to prevent the stock from being delisted. Origin’s caps and closures technology, though not as sexy as its biomaterials tech, makes plastic recycling easier and is cash generative When different types of plastics are melted together in the recycling process, impurities in the resultant compound plastic reduce its usability. Recycling plastics of a uniform type is much more effective and has less impact on the climate. Plastic bottles are made primarily from PET, while caps are made from other plastics—polypropylene and HDPE—which can be recycled on their own but can’t be recycled together with PET. Consumer product goods companies like PepsiCo faced a quandary earlier this year when the EU mandated that caps must be tethered to bottles. They had to follow this regulatory mandate while demonstrating they are doing all they can to increase recyclability, even as HDPE/PP caps cannot be recycled with PET bottles. Origin’s PET manufacturing technology helps CPG companies by enabling caps and bottles to be made from the same material, improving both recycling efficiency and recycled product quality. As more plastic can be recycled, less oil must be dug up and refined into plastic. Origin has made substantial strides in the caps and closures business this year, completing manufacturing trials, forming partnerships with equipment manufacturers, and announcing their ability to produce tethered caps a month before the EU deadline. In August, the company signed a memorandum of understanding with an unnamed client for PET caps estimated by Origin’s management to be worth $100 million over the next two years. Revenue from this contract will begin in 2025, the company announced, with higher projected sales in 2026. At its 3Q24 earnings announcement, the company provided a bit more color to the $100 million contract and reaffirmed its full-2024 guidance to generate revenues between $25 million and $35 million and hold full-year net cash burn between $55 million and $65 million. I will be posting a separate report on Origin’s third-quarter earnings in the Climate Tech Venture Review, so I won’t rehash the announcement here. While I am most excited about the future of Origin’s biomaterials platform, I am impressed at its nimble and creative strategic adaptation in the face of a major setback. By pivoting to a cash-generative model with caps and closures and establishing strategic partnerships to reduce capital expenditures in its biomaterials business, Origin has taken the necessary steps to realize its vision of plastics made from wood waste. Despite its investment uncertainties, Origin’s biomaterials technology is so compelling and its leadership has displayed such grit that it cannot be ignored. Intelligent investors take note.

Wallabies player ratings: How the men in gold fared against IrelandOusted Syrian leader Assad flees to Moscow after fall of Damascus, Russian state media say DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Russia media say ousted Syrian leader Bashar Assad has fled to Moscow and received asylum from his longtime ally. The reports came hours after a stunning rebel advance swept into Damascus to cheers and ended the Assad family’s 50 years of iron rule. Thousands of Syrians poured into streets echoing with celebratory gunfire, joyful after a stifling, nearly 14-year civil war. But the swiftly moving events raised questions about the future of the country and the wider region. The rebels face the daunting task of healing bitter divisions in a country still split among armed factions. One rebel commander said “we will not deal with people the way the Assad family did." The fall of Bashar Assad after 13 years of war in Syria brings to an end a decades-long dynasty BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian President Bashar Assad has fled the country. Assad’s departure on Sunday brings to a dramatic close his nearly 14-year struggle to hold onto power in a brutal civil war that became a proxy battlefield for regional and international powers. Assad’s exit stood in stark contrast to his first months as Syria’s unlikely president in 2000, when many hoped he would be a young reformer after three decades of his father’s iron grip. But faced with protests of his rule that erupted in March 2011, Assad turned to his father's brutal tactics to crush dissent. A long stalemate was quickly broken when opposition groups in northwest Syria launched a surprise offensive late last month. Who is Abu Mohammed al-Golani, the leader of the insurgency that toppled Syria's Assad? BEIRUT (AP) — Abu Mohammed al-Golani, the militant leader who led the stunning insurgency that toppled Syria’s President Bashar Assad, has spent years working to remake his public image and that of his fighters. He renounced longtime ties to al-Qaida and depicts himself as a champion of pluralism and tolerance. The extent of that transformation from jihadi extremist to would-be state builder is now put to the test. The 42-year-old al-Golani is labeled a terrorist by the United States. He has not appeared publicly since Damascus fell early Sunday. But he and his insurgent force, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, stand to be a major player in whatever comes next. Trump says he can't guarantee tariffs won't raise US prices and won't rule out revenge prosecutions WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump says he can’t guarantee his promised tariffs on key U.S. foreign trade partners won’t raise prices for American consumers. And he's suggesting once more that some political rivals and federal officials who pursued legal cases against him should be imprisoned. The president-elect made the comments in a wide-ranging interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday. He also touched on monetary policy, immigration, abortion and health care, and U.S. involvement in Ukraine, Israel and elsewhere. Trump often mixed declarative statements with caveats, at one point cautioning “things do change.” The hunt for UnitedHealthcare CEO's elusive killer yields new evidence, but few answers NEW YORK (AP) — Police don’t know who he is, where he is, or why he did it. As the frustrating search for UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s killer got underway for a fifth day Sunday, investigators reckoned with a tantalizing contradiction: They have troves of evidence, but the shooter remains an enigma. One conclusion they are confident of, however: It was a targeted attack, not a random one. On Sunday morning, police declined to comment on the contents of a backpack found in Central Park that they believe was carried by the killer. Thompson was shot and killed Wednesday outside of a hotel in Manhattan. Trump calls for immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and says a US withdrawal from NATO is possible WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump is pushing Russian leader Vladimir Putin to act to reach an immediate ceasefire with Ukraine. Trump describes it as part of his active efforts as president-elect to end the war despite being weeks from taking office. Trump also said he would be open to reducing military aid to Ukraine and pulling the United States out of NATO. Those are two threats that have alarmed Ukraine, NATO allies and many in the U.S. national security community. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says any deal would have to pave the way to a lasting peace. The Kremlin's spokesman says Moscow is open to talks with Ukraine. South Korean prosecutors detain ex-defense chief over martial law imposition SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korean prosecutors have detained a former defense minister who allegedly recommended last week’s brief but stunning martial law imposition to President Yoon Suk Yeol. Local media say that ex-Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun voluntarily appeared on Sunday at a Seoul prosecutors’ office, where he had his mobile phone confiscated and was detained. A law enforcement official says Kim was later sent to a Seoul detention facility. Kim's detention came a day after Yoon avoided an opposition-led bid to impeach him, with most ruling party lawmakers boycotting a floor vote to prevent a two-thirds majority needed to suspend his presidential powers. Gaza health officials say latest Israeli airstrikes kill at least 14 including children DEIR AL BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Palestinian health officials say Israeli airstrikes in central Gaza have killed at least 14 people including children, while the bombing of a hospital in northern Gaza has wounded a half-dozen patients. Israel’s military continues its latest offensive against Hamas militants in northern Gaza, whose remaining Palestinians have been almost completely cut off from the rest of the territory amid a growing humanitarian crisis. One airstrike flattened a residential building in the urban Bureij refugee camp Sunday afternoon. That's according to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the nearby city of Deir al-Balah, where the casualties were taken. Trump's return may be a boon for Netanyahu, but challenges abound in a changed Middle East TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is jubilant about President-elect Donald Trump's return to the White House. Trump's first term policies skewed heavily in favor of Israel, and he has picked stalwart Israel supporters for key positions in his administration. But much has transpired since Trump left office in early 2021. The turmoil in the Middle East, the lofty ambitions of Netanyahu’s far-right governing coalition and Netanyahu’s own personal relationship with the president-elect could dampen that enthusiasm and complicate what on the surface looks like a seamless alliance. First 12-team College Football Playoff set, Oregon seeded No. 1 and SMU edges Alabama for last spot SMU captured the last open spot in the 12-team College Football Playoff, bumping Alabama to land in a bracket that placed undefeated Oregon at No. 1. The selection committee preferred the Mustangs (11-2), losers of a heartbreaker in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game, who had a far less difficult schedule than Alabama (9-3) of the SEC but one fewer loss. The first-of-its-kind 12-team bracket marks a new era for college football, though the Alabama-SMU debate made clear there is no perfect formula. The tournament starts Dec. 20-21 with four first-round games. It concludes Jan. 20 with the national title game in Atlanta.PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Hurts may sit out a potential NFC East clincher against Dallas because of the lingering effects of a concussion . The Eagles could also just rest Hurts to play it safe -- even if he’s medically cleared ahead of Sunday’s game -- and protect their franchise QB from additional injury over the final two games. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni kept quiet this week on which QB will start Sunday, in large part, of course, because of the head injury suffered by Hurts in last week’s loss to Washington that forced him into the concussion protocol . The issue was complicated by backup Kenny Pickett’s rib injury suffered in relief of Hurts in his first real game competition in nearly a year. Tanner McKee, the third-string QB, could move into a backup role — or maybe even get the start against the Cowboys. Philadelphia's starting quarterback situation has surged past Saquon Barkley's chase at Eric Dickerson's season rushing record as the most intriguing talking point in the final two games. The Eagles (12-3) appear certain to win the division title — they're two games ahead of Washington (10-5) — and a No. 2 seed in the conference no matter the quarterback headed into the playoffs. Even with an unsettled QB spot, the Eagles are are still 71⁄2-point home favorites to beat division rival Dallas, per BetMGM Sportsbook. Sirianni appreciated that quarterback depth has been a strength for the Eagles. “We feel good about that room,” he said. So why risk Hurts against the Cowboys? There's little reason to make Hurts play only a week after absorbing a pair of blows to the head and the extra week off — maybe two if the finale against the Giants is truly meaningless — could add to his recovery time ahead of a home playoff game. The Eagles were burned in a similar situation last season when Hurts and star wide receiver A.J. Brown were both injured in the final game against the Giants with little at stake. With both players hampered by unnecessary injuries, the Eagles were dumped the next week by Tampa Bay in the NFC wild-card playoff game. The Eagles have options if Hurts is inactive. Pickett was 14 of 24 for 143 yards in relief, throwing a touchdown pass to Brown and an interception. Pickett, a first-round pick out of Pitt in 2022, went 14-10 as a starter for the Steelers before he was traded to the Eagles in the offseason. McKee was the Eagles’ 2023 sixth-round pick out of Stanford. The 6-foot-6, 231-pound quarterback has yet to take a snap in a regular-season game. He's mostly used in practice on the scout team or in developmental periods — at best, he'll stay late after practice to get some reps in with the top receivers. “Every week, every opportunity, it's knowing it could be my shot, my chance,” McKee said. He could finally get that shot against Dallas. With the Cowboys out of playoff contention, the questions persist for coach Mike McCarthy about bypassing Cooper Rush for a look at Trey Lance before both QBs hit free agency. McCarthy’s answer hasn’t wavered: Rush gives Dallas the best chance to win. Rush is 4-3 since Dak Prescott’s season-ending hamstring tear after going 5-1 over two previous stints as an injury replacement. That’s 9-4 total. Half the losses came in both of Rush’s starts against Eagles – the last of five games filling in during the 2022 season and the first game this season. “The mindset is to win,” McCarthy said. “We’re going to Philadelphia to win the game.” Barkley leads the NFL with 1,838 yards rushing for the season through 15 games. He still needs two big outings in the final games of the season against Dallas and the New York Giants to top Dickerson and his 2,105 yards for the Los Angeles Rams in 1984. Barkley is 268 yards away from passing Dickerson for the season mark and 162 shy from becoming the ninth player in NFL history with 2,000 yards rushing in a season. He ran for only 66 yards in the first game this season against Dallas. Dallas ranks 28th in the NFL in rushing defense, surrendering 135.9 yards per contest. Philadelphia, behind Barkley’s stellar play, tops the league at 187.9 yards per game on the ground. The Eagles have already have set a team record for yards rushing in a season with 2,818, and they are within four rushing touchdowns of tying the club’s single-season mark of 32, set in 2022. Barkley needs four more rushing touchdowns to tie LeSean McCoy’s Eagles record, set in 2011 and just 33 yards from scrimmage to break McCoy’s mark of 2,146 set in 2013. Star Dallas edge rusher Micah Parsons needs half a sack to reach double digits in each of his first four seasons despite missing four games with a high ankle sprain, the first injury absence of his career. The 2021 AP Defensive Rookie of the Year would be the fifth player to reach 10 sacks in each of his first four seasons. The other four — Claude Humphrey, Reggie White, Derrick Thomas and Dwight Freeney - are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. AP Pro Football Writer Schuyler Dixon contributed from Arlington, Texas.

MasterChef fans take to social media after The Professional semi-final airs following Gregg Wallace allegations READ: Contestant claims Gregg Wallace 'constantly' made sexual innuendos By KATHERINE LAWTON Published: 23:06 GMT, 2 December 2024 | Updated: 23:18 GMT, 2 December 2024 e-mail View comments MasterChef viewers have slammed the BBC 's decision to include Gregg Wallace in tonight's semi-final. The grocer-turned broadcaster, 60, last week stepped away from hosting the show after nearly 20 years. His absence comes while allegations of inappropriate comments he made towards staff and celebrity guests over 17 years are investigated. The star is accused of making 'inappropriate sexual jokes', asking for the phone numbers of female members of production staff, and undressing in front of and standing 'too close' to women working on his shows. The presenter allegedly even walked naked on set with only a sock on his penis. However, in a move that has shocked some viewers, Wallace has continued to appear on MasterChef: The Professionals , with the programme's semi-final airing tonight. Furious fans took to social media to blast the BBC for not editing Wallace out of the show, despite the presenter stepping down from his role last week. One furious viewer wrote on X: 'I see the BBC is being its usual tone-deaf self. BBC refuses to pull "misogynistic" Gregg Wallace off air.' Another wrote: 'Watching @MasterChefUK and while I've never thought Gregg Wallace brought anything positive to the show I'm finding it near impossible to watch the show.' A third said: 'I was expecting them to have edited Gregg Wallace out though.' Gregg Wallace, 60, has stepped away from hosting MasterChef after nearly 20 years while allegations of inappropriate comments he made towards staff and celebrity guests over 17 years are investigated The BBC have decided to go ahead and broadcast the rest of MasterChef: The Professionals, which will conclude on December 12 Furious fans took to social media to slam the BBC for not editing Wallace out of the show, despite the presenter stepping down from his role last week A fourth penned: 'After the revelations of the last few days I'm finding Gregg Wallace more irritating than usual.' MailOnline has contacted the BBC for comment. A former MasterChef contestant tonight claimed that Wallace 'humiliated' her and drove her to tears with a sexually inappropriate comment during filming. Read More 'If I'd known you had legs like that...': MasterChef contestant 'reveals' Gregg Wallace's comments Jackie Kearney, a chef and author who finished fourth in the BBC hit show in 2011, claimed Wallace made sexual innuendos 'constantly' in front of crew members. Ms Kearney spoke about how Wallace left her breaking down in tears in the toilets after making a lewd joke about his penis. She told Sky News: 'There were several times that he would comment on my legs, or comment on the skirts I was wearing... he made a comment once: "If I'd known you had legs like that, maybe you'd have made it further".' Ms Kearney returned to MasterChef as a guest judge in 2017, where she hoped to impress Wallace and co-host John Torode with her book about vegan food which she published two years prior. But recalling how the interaction went, she claimed: 'I came into the studio and was like, "Hi Gregg, I've got something for you!" And he said, "Oh, is it a present for my c***?''' Ms Kearney said the comment left her feeling 'humiliated' and 'embarrassed' and that she broke down in tears in the toilets. Greg Wallace (pictured) apologised for 'any offence I caused' after his controversial comments on Instagram on the weekend She said she also walked around hating what she was wearing because Wallace had allegedly already made a comment about her legs earlier in the day. Ms Kearney thought that someone would check up on her, but that nobody said anything. She claims that Wallace was mic'ed up when he made the sexual comment. The chef claims that Wallace created an environment where his sexual remarks were 'normalised in way that you would expect to see in a '90s lads mag'. The presenter has defended himself, pinning the blame on 'middle class women of a certain age'. But today he apologised for his controversial comments, admitting he was 'not in a good head space' when he posted the rant.
