Intel and AMD PCs are finally getting Copilot+ features, including RecallThen Wednesday's targeted fatal shooting of the UnitedHealthcare CEO on a midtown Manhattan sidewalk thrust the executive and his business into the national spotlight. Thompson, who was 50, had worked at the giant UnitedHealth Group Inc for 20 years and run the insurance arm since 2021 after running its Medicare and retirement business. As CEO, Thompson led a firm that provides health coverage to more than 49 million Americans — more than the population of Spain. United is the largest provider of Medicare Advantage plans, the privately run versions of the U.S. government’s Medicare program for people age 65 and older. The company also sells individual insurance and administers health-insurance coverage for thousands of employers and state-and federally funded Medicaid programs. The business run by Thompson brought in $281 billion in revenue last year, making it the largest subsidiary of the Minnetonka, Minnesota-based UnitedHealth Group. His $10.2 million annual pay package, including salary, bonus and stock options awards, made him one of the company's highest-paid executives. The University of Iowa graduate began his career as a certified public accountant at PwC and had little name recognition beyond the health care industry. Even to investors who own its stock, the parent company's face belonged to CEO Andrew Witty, a knighted British triathlete who has testified before Congress. When Thompson did occasionally draw attention, it was because of his role in shaping the way Americans get health care. At an investor meeting last year, he outlined his company's shift to “value-based care,” paying doctors and other caregivers to keep patients healthy rather than focusing on treating them once sick. “Health care should be easier for people,” Thompson said at the time. “We are cognizant of the challenges. But navigating a future through value-based care unlocks a situation where the ... family doesn’t have to make the decisions on their own.” Thompson also drew attention in 2021 when the insurer, like its competitors, was widely criticized for a plan to start denying payment for what it deemed non-critical visits to hospital emergency rooms. “Patients are not medical experts and should not be expected to self-diagnose during what they believe is a medical emergency,” the chief executive of the American Hospital Association wrote in an open letter addressed to Thompson. “Threatening patients with a financial penalty for making the wrong decision could have a chilling effect on seeking emergency care.” United Healthcare responded by delaying rollout of the change. Thompson, who lived in a Minneapolis suburb and was the married father of two sons in high school, was set to speak at an investor meeting in a midtown New York hotel. He was on his own and about to enter the building when he was shot in the back by a masked assailant who fled on foot before pedaling an e-bike into Central Park a few blocks away, the New York Police Department said. Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said investigators were looking at Thompson's social media accounts and interviewing employees and family members. “Didn’t seem like he had any issues at all,” Kenny said. "He did not have a security detail.” AP reporters Michael R. Sisak and Steve Karnowski contributed to this report. Murphy reported from Indianapolis.
The dismissal of a class-action lawsuit over rules governing the cross-border live bee trade is casting a spotlight on political division within Canada’s beekeeping community. A federal judge has ruled against awarding commercial beekeepers damages from a decades-old partial ban on shipping live honeybees across the Canada-U.S. border, which is in place out of concerns that could bring in aggressive pests and diseases. Beekeepers from Western Canada involved in the suit claim the government’s risk assessments that inform the tight restrictions are hurting their businesses and are blown out of proportion. Michael Paradis of Paradis Honey Ltd., a seven-generation family beekeeping business based in Girouxville, Alta., and one of the representative plaintiffs in the case, said he’s disappointed with the ruling, saying it puts beekeepers in a “dangerous position” since the industry is already in crisis mode. “Canada does not have enough bees and cannot replenish its own stock at all,” he said. “It’s going to mean a lot more hardship for the industry if we cannot get access to the U.S. bees.” Beekeepers were slammed during the COVID-19 pandemic, when fewer airline flights made it harder to import bees and they suffered a nightmare year of winter losses in 2022. Manitoba commercial beekeeper Brent Ash, one of the witnesses in the case, said the ruling will hamper the industry, and makes it especially tough for apiaries in colder parts of the country like the Prairies, where most of Canada’s beekeepers are located. “Climate makes the regional divide difficult to keep those bugs alive over the course of the winter,” he said, noting honeybees are not native to North America. But Steve Moore, president of the Ontario Beekeepers’ Association, said his group worries about the risks of accidentally bringing in antibiotic resistant mites, the import of Africanized honeybees commonly known as killer bees, and a small hive beetle that’s capable of damaging colonies. “In Ontario here, we feel quite strongly that we don’t want to take the risk of it becoming even more challenging if some of these new and emerging threats come into the country in packages,” he said. But he empathizes with the plaintiffs. “When we go into our apiaries, we get stung by our bees. When we come home, we might be stung by a low honey price, stung by rising cost of production or stung by high overwintering losses, with the threat of new and emerging pathogens. So, we’re all facing the same challenges and it’s a challenging time to be a beekeeper,” he said. Even though a ban on U.S. live bee imports expired in 2006, Ottawa has not issued permits for the live worker bee boxes to be brought over the border since. The plaintiffs argued Ottawa owes them duty of care — and hundreds of millions in damages. The judge disagreed. “There is no duty of care owed and no negligence,” Justice Cecily Strickland wrote in a lengthy ruling, adding the plaintiffs failed to establish that Ottawa hurt their businesses. The case has a long history, dating back to a court filing from 2012, and was only certified as a class action in 2017. The problem is even older. Headlines from the 1980s screamed about fears that deadly infectious mites from U.S. states could level Canadian bee populations. Risks to bee health have only compounded since then. A 2003 risk assessment by the regulator found that importing queen bees was less risky, since they are easier to inspect. So, Canada allows imports of queen bees and their worker-bee attendants from the U.S., Chile, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Italy and Malta. “Bee packages carry a higher risk of disease introduction because they are shipped with the contents of their hive, which may include mites, parasites and bacteria,” said a statement from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency that welcomed the judge’s ruling. Canada does, however, also allow imports of worker bee packages from Italy, Chile, Australia and New Zealand, which sent Canada some 69,364 kgs of packaged bees in 2023, according to statistics from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. But importing from these countries also dramatically drives up import costs due to transportation. One of the plaintiffs, John Gibeau, wrote to CFIA a decade ago complaining that importing more than 1,200 packages for $170,000 would have cost half that if he could have purchased them from California instead. Gibeau said he wasn’t ready to comment since he hasn’t yet digested the ruling. Paradis said the larger issue for him than cost, though, is the quality of the bee stock and the timing of when shipments arrive. “We are looking at bees in the U.S. that are spring bees — young, invigorated bees,” he said, adding that gives them longer lifespans in Canada. While he was disappointed, Paradis said one of the main reasons for the lawsuit was to “bring CFIA to the table and to actually have some discussions” on the import ban, something he said has only happened recently. Canada’s honeybee pollination is estimated to contribute $3.18 billion directly to the economy, but that rises to $7 billion a year when canola pollination is factored in.

Scoring deals — either for those you love or for yourself — has become as much of a holiday tradition as putting up a Christmas tree, making Black Friday one of the most important sales days for retailers. Taking place the day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday traditionally begins the holiday shopping season. According to Adobe Analytics, shoppers are expected to drop $40.6 billion in 2024, with 75% percent of consumers planning to take advantage of deep deals and discounts online — so much so that Adobe has called the 2024 holiday season " the most mobile of all time .” This might come as a surprise since, as recently as even a few years ago, shoppers had to leave their Thanksgiving tables to stand outside in midnight lines to score a deal on a hot toy or new TV. Related: How much does the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade cost & who pays for it? Now, data shows that most Black Friday shopping takes place from the warm glow of shoppers' smartphone screens. By combing through more than 100 trillion online transactions, Adobe reported that shoppers spent $221.8 billion online over the 2023 holiday season. This year, it forecasts a sales increase of 12.8% from mobile sales platforms to $240.8 billion, with the deepest discounts expected to hit during Black Friday weekend. Adding further proof, one of the country’s biggest credit card companies, Capital One, reports that Black Friday shoppers are 18.9% more likely to purchase online than in-store. Don’t get us wrong: In-store opportunities remain for Black Friday purists who still thrill at the thought of (literally) getting their hands on a hot item, particularly “doorbusters,” or limited-availability items, like electronics and appliances. But those who break out in hives at the thought of Black Friday crowds can now often find just as good deals online — with a wider selection to choose from, too. 💰💸 Don’t miss the move: SIGN UP for TheStreet’s FREE Daily newsletter 💰💸 Even the definition of Black Friday has undergone an evolution recently, expanding from a single sales day to into a week-long sales event now called Cyber Week — and sales at some of the biggest retailers like Target ( TGT ) , Walmart ( WMT ) , Best Buy ( BBY ) , and Amazon ( AMZN ) are already underway. View the original article to see embedded media. A history of Black Friday, both in stores and online Black Friday is historically known as the best sales day of the year, when retailers roll out steep, limited-time discounts on some of their most popular products. However, like most days that have the word “black” in them, the first Black Friday actually wasn’t good; it referred to a financial crisis that took place in 1869, when railway magnate James Fisk and financier Jay Gould tried to corner the gold market. A panic ensued, causing gold prices to plummet, ruining many speculators in the process. Related: Amazon's massive Black Friday sale has no.1 bestsellers on sale for up to 65% off, and prices start at only $18 In the 1950s, the “Factory Management and Maintenance” journal used the term Black Friday to refer to workers who called in sick the day after Thanksgiving in order to enjoy a four-day weekend. By the 1960s, the Philadelphia Police Department had caught wind of the phrase and used it to describe the hordes of suburban shoppers who traveled to department stores downtown; some were naughty, while others were nice. By the 1980s, perceptions surrounding Black Friday had shifted, with the “black” in Black Friday referring to the moment when retail ledgers were no longer operating at a loss, or “in the red,” but rather became profitable, or “in the black.” Related: Buy now, pay later apps: Are Affirm, Afterpay, Klarna & more safe? Black Friday officially marked the start of the holiday shopping season, and during the Reagan Era, consumer spending increased dramatically — as did credit card debt. In 1980, the average credit card debt was only $500 per household; by 1990, it had ballooned to $3,000. According to The New York Times, “ shopping became almost a 24/7 activity ,” and retailers could mint astounding profits on a single sales day like Black Friday. This led stores to come up with ever-more-creative ways to attract buyers, advertising doorbuster deals and offering extended hours to entice shoppers inside their stores instead of their competitors'. Wikimedia photo Powhusku, CC BY-SA 2.0, via Wikimedia Commons By the 1990s, stores were opening earlier and earlier on Black Friday; customers started camping outside on Thanksgiving night so they could be the first ones in line. In order to improve morale, and possibly encourage even more economic growth, many states even started offering Black Friday as a paid, post-Thanksgiving holiday: States that offer Black Friday as a holiday Source: Newsweek According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 97% of civilian and private industry employers also give their workers the day off on Black Friday, although employers of service occupations, like food and retail, usually do not. Black Friday shopping tragedies Shopping online on Black Friday isn't just convenient; it's also safer. That is because if you bring a bunch of people together over a limited supply of items high up on everyone's Christmas list, trouble’s bound to happen. Between 2006 and 2018, over 100 people were injured — and 11 people died — from Black Friday-related violence. In 2008, a Walmart employee was trampled to death in Long Island as frenzied shoppers pushed through the store’s front doors. In 2011, at another Walmart in North Carolina, 20 people were injured when an off-duty cop sprayed pepper spray into the crowd. Shoppers said a man had accidentally stumbled into a display of discounted cell phones, but security believed a fight had broken out. You don’t even have to go inside stores to find Black Friday-related expressions of rage; in 2012, outside a Walmart in Tallahassee, Fla., two people were shot in a dispute over a parking space. Emergency workers found the victims in the garden center before transporting them to the hospital. ArtistGNDphotography; Getty Images How Amazon changed Black Friday shopping By the 2000s, the rise of the Internet, personal computers, and new e-commerce platforms were dramatically transforming the way people shopped. Amazon started out as an online bookseller with the (very) smart idea to offer buyers a wide selection of products with low prices and faster delivery than anyone else. Sales skyrocketed, so Amazon branched out into other niches, selling music and DVDs, then adding home-improvement items, software, clothing, electronics, and toys — basically everything under the kitchen sink — including kitchen sinks . A tipping point moment for Amazon — and shopping in general — happened in 2005, when Amazon launched its Prime Membership. In just 10 years, this “free” next-day delivery subscription service had amassed 50 million Prime customers, and to celebrate the platform’s decade in business, Amazon created Prime Day. Taking place on July 15, 2015, Prime Day lasted 24 hours and included even better deals than Black Friday 2014, which was its biggest sales day to date. “Going into this, we weren't sure whether Prime Day would be a one-time thing or if it would become an annual event. After yesterday’s results, we'll definitely be doing this again.” —Greg Greeley, Vice President, Amazon Inc., July 16 2015 Prime Day sales leapfrogged past Black Friday records by 18%. “Customers worldwide ordered an astonishing 398 items per second and saved millions on Prime Day deals,” Amazon Prime Vice President Greg Greeley breathlessly reported. Black Friday shopping would never be the same. COVID-19's effect on in-store and online shopping The global pandemic further shifted shopping online, with CNN reporting that more than half of consumers felt anxious about browsing shelves in stores again over Black Friday weekend in 2020. In response, retailers began offering their best deals online rather than encouraging shoppers to congregate, and they added additional incentives by starting their holiday sales earlier and ending them later, too. Black Friday deals began appearing online as early as November 1 at Best Buy, Home Depot ( HD ) , Target and Walmart. Black Friday 2024: In-store AND online Today, shoppers can enjoy the best of all worlds. Most customers feel safe rubbing elbows again and can visit stores to avoid the hassle of delivery delays or items going on backorder. They can also browse the widest selection possible — and still save big — by shopping online. Retailers are continuing to run week or even month-long sales promotions to boost their bottom lines, and some stores are even offering price-match adjustments, so you can basically enjoy Black Friday deals all season long. Target, for instance, will price-match items bought in stores or online between November 7 and December 24, 2024. All you need to do is save your receipts and contact customer service, and they’ll refund you the difference.

TEHRAN- Militant groups in Syria claim to have taken more key areas from the hands of government forces. The government has cautioned against propaganda claims circulating on social media. The Syrian Army emphasized on Saturday that its forces operating in the southern provinces of Daraa and Suwayda have repositioned and redeployed, establishing a strong and cohesive security cordon in the areas. A statement issued by the General Command of the Army and Armed Forces read, “The redeployment and repositioning came after terrorist elements attacked the army's dispersed checkpoints and positions, aiming to distract our armed forces, which have begun regaining control in the provinces of Homs and Hama against terrorist organizations.” The statement stressed that the armed forces are addressing developments with a focus on ensuring the safety of the nation and its citizens and will confront terrorism with determination and strength. While the Syrian army fights armed groups in Homs and Hama provinces, other militants in southern Syria are attacking Syrian army positions in Daraa and Suwayda. This has led Jordan to close its border as the fighting in Syria has reached close to Jordanian territory. Making matters worse for the government in Damascus, militants allied with the United States have reportedly taken control of areas in Dayr al-Zor province near the Iraqi border. Militants have also claimed to have controlled Quneitra near the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan, near the occupied Palestine border, Reuters reported, citing two militants and a Syrian officer. After capturing the cities of Aleppo and Hama in a surprise offensive, militants have vowed to continue heading south and take over the strategic city of Homs. Experts believe the fate of Homs will determine who controls the Arab country. A Syrian military source stated that “reports broadcast by some media channels about terrorists entering the al-Qaryatayn (a town in central Syria, administratively part of the Homs Governorate) are unfounded.” The source added that Syrian forces remain in their positions in the al-Qaryatayn area and are fully prepared. Meanwhile, another Syrian military source said that forces operating in the countryside of Hama and Homs “carried out intensive artillery and rocket strikes on terrorist positions and supply lines, achieving direct hits among them.” Additionally, joint Syrian-Russian airstrikes targeted terrorist gatherings in northeastern Homs countryside, killing dozens of militants and destroying their vehicles. The militant offensive has been mostly led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham in the northeast, formerly known as the Nusra Front or Jabhat al-Nusra, which was aligned with al-Qaeda. The Syrian state television reported that “the death toll among terrorists of Jabhat al-Nusra and its affiliated groups has risen to approximately 2,500 over the past week, as the army, supported by Syrian and Russian air forces, repelled their attacks.” Later, a Syrian military source indicated that “terrorists are resorting to entering some villages and areas, requesting permission from residents to film for a few minutes before leaving. They use these clips in their media propaganda to falsely portray control over these areas, aiming to affect the morale of our people and our valiant army.” On Friday, the Syrian army carried out a special operation targeting the Dar al-Kabira - Talbiseh - Rastan axis in northern Homs countryside. According to a military source in the Syrian Ministry of Defense, the operation resulted in the killing of dozens of militants, causing panic, confusion, and mass flight among their ranks. Meanwhile, a military source denied reports circulated by some media outlets and pages affiliated with terrorist organizations about any withdrawal of Syrian army units from the vicinity of Homs city and its countryside. On the diplomatic front, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in the Qatari capital Doha on Saturday, to participate in a meeting of the Astana parties and the Doha Forum. Turkey hosted a meeting in Doha with Russia and Iran to seek a political and peaceful resolution to the Syrian crisis. The three countries, represented by their foreign ministers, participated in the Astana format discussions.
