What we learn about Bridgerton Season 2

0

The second season of Bridgerton is official.

We would have been shocked straight out of our petticoats if Netflix hadn’t decided on another season (or seven more seasons) of one of its greatest hits of all time. So the news came as no surprise. Even so, the news is good.

Lady Whistledown herself confirmed that like the second book, the second season will focus on the oldest Bridgerton, Anthony (Jonathan Bailey), who made a name for himself in season one by trying to get Daphnes (Phoebe Dynevor) Living with terrible suitors. Now it’s up to Anthony to finally settle down, though that doesn’t mean the show is all about Anthony anymore.

Just like Daphne and Simon (Regé-Jean page) History was peppered with appearances by Anthony, Benedict (Luke Thompson), Colin (Luke Newton), Eloise (Claudia Jessie), Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) and Marina (Ruby Barker), the second season will again bring us stories about all the Bridgertons and the occasional Featherington

How dangerous are all of those new COVID variants?

Viruses mutate; really everything. However, experts are now concerned about some of the thousands of coronavirus variants that have appeared around the world. We wrote about the UK variant last month;; Now there are more, including one in Los Angeles. You don’t need to panic. But it is to be well informed.

Image for article titled How Bad Are All These New COVID Flavors?

One of the main reasons we’re seeing new varieties now, a year after the pandemic started, is because there are so many more viruses than there were 12 months ago. The more viruses there are in the world, the more likely they are to mutate. And the more variants there are, the greater the chance that some of them will be bad news.

If we (as a global community) had contained the virus any better, we might not have gotten to a point where there are multiple variants that are different enough to worry the experts. But here we are.

Another thing to remember is that the only way to find variants is by searching for them. The British variant B.1.1.7 was discovered in part because the UK does many so-called surveillance tests – to monitor exactly what types of coronavirus there are. The US does some of it too, but a lot less. Variant B.1.1.7 was probably already in other countries when it was discovered in Great Britain. They just hadn’t found it yet.

Which variants do you need to know?

B.1.1.7 was found in the UK in November 2020, where it has likely been in circulation since September or earlier. This New York Times article has more details about the strain and its mutations. It appears to be 50% more transmissible than a typical COVID virus. It has several mutations, including eight on the spike protein.

(The spike protein is the part of the virus that interacts with our cells. If we make antibodies against the spike protein, those antibodies can prevent the virus from infecting us. The mRNA vaccines contain the genetic code of the spike protein allows our cells to make the protein and then make antibodies against it.)

B.1.1.7 is more communicable, but the disease it causes doesn’t seem worse than usual.

B.1.351 was discovered in South Africa in samples from October 2020 and also shows mutations in the spike protein. It appears to be more transmissible than typical COVID, but it doesn’t change the severity of the disease. Both these and the UK share a mutation called N501Y. A recent study that was published as a preprintfound that the Pfizer vaccine with this mutation appears to protect against variants.

P.1 is a variant from Brazil that was first discovered in December 2020. It also has mutations that appear to be of concern, including the spike protein. One of its mutations, E484K, may be able to evade antibodies. There are a few Reason to believe that people have recovered from a previous case of COVID can be infected by these mutations.

CAL.20C is a variant that to become popular in Los Angeles. We don’t know much about it yet.

Science is still very new for all of these variants. The things we know about them are preliminary. None of them seem to cause any more serious illness; Most are likely to be susceptible to the vaccines in place. and PCR testing still seems to be able to detect it.

They have also often become the dominant tribes in their locations, but with some variants, there is some chicken and egg problem with determining whether or not they are responsible for spikes in certain cases.

What’s happening now?

Two things. Initially, scientists are working to answer the unanswered questions about these variants.

For example, we have to find out whether and by how much they are really transferrable. We need to know if the variants can evade our natural immunity (which would mean you could catch the virus twice) and whether they can evade the immunity of the various vaccines and vaccine candidates already in place. We need to know if any of the variants cause a more severe disease or if there are clinical differences. And we need to step up our surveillance in each country to find new variants and see where existing variants take control.

If it turns out that new variants can evade existing vaccines, the vaccines may need to be updated in a timely manner. We do this every year for the flu vaccine; We may have to do the same for the COVID vaccine.

But the other element of action is simpler, if still difficult: we need to do the same things that we did for prevention, only to a greater extent. If any variant is more communicable, it’s even more important to wear masks and stay home and take tests seriously. It is especially important that people receive vaccines as soon as possible. With that in mind, our main measures to fight the virus have not changed, even if the virus changes.

IBM outcomes This autumn 2020

SVP and Director at IBM Research Arvind Krishna speak on stage during the Wired Business Conference 2016 in New York on June 16, 2016.

IBM shares fell 7% in expanded trading on Wednesday after the company reported fourth-quarter revenue that fell short of analysts’ expectations.

This is how IBM behaved:

  • Merits: Adjusted for $ 2.07 per share versus $ 1.79 per share as analysts expected, Refinitiv said.
  • Revenue: According to Refinitiv, $ 20.37 billion versus $ 20.67 billion as analysts expected.

Sales were down 6% on an annualized basis, the fourth straight quarter of declines, according to a statement. Income had not fallen so much in five years. Under the new CEO Arvind Krishna, the company has tried to grow in the cloud computing and artificial intelligence sector, but its predecessor Ginni Rometty also saw sales declines.

IBM’s Cloud and Cognitive Software segment, which includes Red Hat, had sales of $ 6.84 billion, down about 5% year over year. That’s less than the FactSet consensus estimate of $ 7.18 billion.

The Global Technology Services unit had sales of $ 6.57 billion, a decrease of 6% and a decrease in FactSet consensus of $ 6.92 billion.

Global Business Services, which includes consulting, contributed $ 4.17 billion, down roughly 3% and more than the consensus of $ 4.08 billion.

System revenue of $ 2.50 billion from mainframe and other hardware sales fell 18%, below the consensus estimate of $ 2.26 billion. The company compares itself to a period in which Systems has increased sales with a new mainframe.

The company didn’t issue any formal earnings guidance, but it expects sales to grow in 2021 and free cash flow of $ 11 billion to $ 12 billion.

The company’s earnings per share fell 66%, the largest decline in three years, in part due to a pre-tax charge of $ 2.04 billion for structural measures in the quarter. The hit was less than expected; In October the company announced it would be around $ 2.3 billion.

The fee relates to the plan that IBM announced in October to outsource its Managed Infrastructure Services division, which offers hosting for websites and web-based software, to a separate public company by the end of 2021. The spin-off was the first major change for IBM since Krishna replaced Rometty as CEO in April. This department is currently located at Global Technology Services.

Also in the quarter, IBM announced that it had bought the cloud consulting service provider Nordcloud for an undisclosed amount.

Excluding the post-business move, IBM stock has risen around 5% since early 2021, while the S&P 500 has risen around 3% over the same period.

Executives will discuss the results with analysts on a conference call starting at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time.

Dr. Fauci says Covid vaccines appear to be much less efficient towards some new strains

New data shows that the Covid-19 vaccines currently on the market may not be as effective at protecting against new, more contagious strains of the coronavirus, said White House Health Advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci, on Thursday.

“Bottom line: We are very careful. There are alternative plans if we ever need to modify the vaccine. It’s not a very burdensome thing, we can do it given the platforms we have,” Fauci said during the White House press conference . Even if they’re less effective, they’ll likely still offer enough protection to make the vaccines worthwhile, he added.

Ingo Cash: banks and fintechs lastly collectively

0

“If we look back over the past few years, we are nearing a turning point for banks and fintechs to work together to make instant digital payments ubiquitous,” said Drew Edwards, CEO of Ingo Money. “My wish for America and the world in 2021 is that banks and FinTechs like Ingo Money will work together to accelerate the modernization of payments for the future. For more information on Edwards’ comment, see” A Look Forward: What Executives wish America and the world in 2021. “

As I write this, it was reported that the first COVID-19 vaccine has just been administered in the United States. While the rapid development and impending rollout are a very hopeful step towards the end of this pandemic, the vaccine alone will not be enough. The economic ramifications and resulting financial challenges faced by many Americans remain grave and need to be addressed. From a payments perspective and how our industry could help, my wish for America and the world in 2021 is that banks and FinTechs like Ingo Money work together to advance payment modernization for the future.

By creating a digital payout experience with recipient selection, consumers and small businesses can be transferred to an account of their choice faster and often instantly, giving them better access and control over their cash flows. If we look back over the past few years, we are nearing a tipping point where banks and fintechs work together to make instant digital payments ubiquitous.

The idea of ​​faster payments caught on in 2019 when gig economy platforms Uber and Lyft introduced the option to be paid when needed. Adoption went through the roof, as many paycheck-to-paycheck drivers as many Americans pointed to the benefits of lower financial burdens and the ability to pay their bills on time. FinTechs began working directly with early adopters in the credit and insurance industries to provide instant payment options that could save them money, differentiate their offerings, and drive customer loyalty.

Then in 2020 the coronavirus struck. The physical stores were closed, the handling of cash became undesirable, and we saw a massive shift towards the use of digital in shopping, paying and communicating. The CARES bill resulted in a $ 2.2 trillion relief, but not without major challenges. Examples include improper payments, fraud, and tens of millions of people waiting weeks for checks to arrive. This was a key point in determining how outdated the government’s payout infrastructure had become – and how modernized it needed to be. All of these events indicate that there is a demand here for a modern, digital withdrawal experience.

Both government agencies and companies are asking their treasury banks for solutions. The turning point is that we are now seeing an accelerated openness to cooperation between banks and FinTechs by leveraging banks’ expertise in treasury banking and FinTech’s experience with innovations. The belief is that each party can help solve the other’s problems and together they can better solve their customers’ withdrawal problems. We have already entered into several large banking partnerships and can already see the impact as two of the largest insurance companies in the country have switched their business to these treasury banks for access to a real payoff modernization.

My wish and even a forecast for 2021 will be that this year more treasury banks will enter into partnerships with FinTechs and offer their customers modern payout solutions that include an ubiquitous selection of recipients. As the world shrinks with digital experiences that connect us all, it is clear that a widely available modern payout experience is accelerating with the interoperability of large treasury banks, and that these banks are realizing that partnering with FinTechs is a 1 + 1 = 3 equation. Together we can enable instant digital payments to hundreds of millions of people around the world who want and need faster and more convenient access to their money.

That is the way you efficiently current your concept to an editor

Illustration for article titled How to Successfully Present Your Idea to an EditorPhoto: Suzanne Tucker (Shutterstock)

Over the course of my career, from my newspaper reporting to my freelance writing days, I’ve told many stories. In my role as the writer and editor of Lifehacker’s offspring Vertical, I basically come up with ideas to my own bosses every day. But I also pitch a lot of freelance writers – even more since then I made a call last week Look for new voices.

As those pitches started rolling en masse, I realized that some writers are inexperienced with the art of pitching and could benefit from a little guidance from someone who has been there and has done it countless times. Read these tips before proposing your next story idea to an editor.

Research

You’d think this would be obvious, but my inbox indicates it isn’t: know the publication you’re publishing before you publish it. A good chunk of the freelance pitches I get either have nothing to do with parents at all or are inconsistent with Lifehacker’s tone or purpose. Before you can write for an outlet, you must read that outlet. You cannot skip this step.

I know that writers spend a lot of (unpaid) time writing pitches, and it can be tempting to create a default pitch to send to multiple editors. However, it is much more likely that you will get a job when you have done the job of tweaking the angle and tone of your pitch to best suit that particular publication. I can usually tell by the second sentence of an email whether a writer has ever actually read Descendants.

Part of reading and getting to know the publication is figuring out what it has already published – especially what it has published on the topic you want to bring up. You can assume that a food website has already written a number of articles on “Quick and Easy Weekday Dinners”. Before suggesting this as an idea, do some research on what they have already written. You may find a hole in their coverage (hey, where are all those quick and easy weekday casseroles?) Or a unique angle that they haven’t explored – and that’s the idea you’re trying to come up with.

G / O Media can receive a commission

Next, find the submission guidelines. Some editors (usually editors on large publications that get a lot of pitchings) will tell you exactly how they prefer pitching and what information they want ahead of time. Some editors want finished pieces; others (like me) just want the idea. Some want finished parts attached as a document, while others prefer to copy the text and paste it into an email.

Usually, if you don’t strictly follow the guidelines, you won’t be automatically excluded from ever writing for this site. However, when you learn how to make the process easier for them, you make the process easier for them. They are more likely to read – and accept – your pitch when it is in the preferred format.

Illustration for article titled How to Successfully Present Your Idea to an Editor

Stick with the email

Like many editors, I get a lot of emails in one day. The vast majority are pitches, be it from a PR agency promoting a client, a publisher promoting a book, or a freelance writer promoting an idea they want to write for our website. I dive in when I have time to wade through them and jump back when I need to get back to my own reporting and writing (this is how I spend most of my day).

When you have all of the slots in one place, it’s a lot easier for an editor to divide them up, manage their time, and put things down. When pitchings also come in from Facebook Messenger, Twitter DMs, and LinkedIn, not only can they get lost, but an editor can quickly feel bombarded.

An example of this: Recently, someone who wanted to introduce me to an idea first made friends with me on Facebook. I did not recognize you and deleted your request. They then sent me a LinkedIn request which I accepted and they started sending me links to videos they had produced and separately adding me to a LinkedIn group message with a group of people I don’t know to send me more links. When I switched back to Facebook, they had also sent me a message request there and asked for my email address so that they could contact me.

It felt like this person was all over my social media, calling me from different directions when all they had to do was Look up my email address and send me a pitch (they still haven’t really pitched me by the way).

Some editors will say they don’t mind if you pitch them on social media, but many more editors don’t like it. So your best bet is to stick to email unless they say otherwise. (And don’t send them a message asking for their email address unless you’ve already searched for it and absolutely cannot find it. Chances are it will get posted somewhere on the site. )

Illustration for article titled How to Successfully Present Your Idea to an Editor

What to put in this email

Now that you are ready to compose your pitch, keep it short and relevant. I like it when freelancers who approach me for the first time tell me a little about themselves (so in a sentence or two), as long as it comes down to why they are the best person to write down the idea they send me . If you tell me a piece about raising a transgender child and your child is transgender, it tells me that you have a perspective and experience that is relevant and valuable to our readers. If you accuse me of anything health related and have a background in nursing, I would like to know.

On the other hand, if I open up a pitch and come across seven long paragraphs where the author introduces himself and gives me a range of professional and family backgrounds but can’t find the real idea, that’s too much information. Give a brief introduction and then a brief summary of your idea. If the idea is well-formed, this should really only take a paragraph or two. If you start touching or explaining too much, it usually means the idea is too vague or general and you need to tighten it up.

The first time you create an editor, add some links to previously published work. Whenever possible, choose links that are most relevant to your pitch in terms of content or tone. For example, if you’re writing an article on children and mental health and have already written on mental health-related topics, this is what an editor wants to see.

Finally, give the editor some time to reply before sending a follow-up email. Each editor works differently in terms of how quickly (or slowly) they react. Some editors at large publications are given dozens of slots every day and may only answer if the answer is “yes”. I think it’s fair to check back in to a place if you haven’t heard from a few weeks but only check in once. If you’ve sent two notes on the same pitch and they still don’t respond, assume they decided to pass.

Joe Biden’s oval workplace now incorporates a cute photograph of the late son Beau

0

Newly sworn in in the President Joe Biden begins to work with loved ones, including the late son Beau Bidenand watched over him.

He has already refurbished the Oval Office and behind his Resolute Desk is a narrow table on which several framed family photos rest, some of which show Beau prominently. Joseph Robinette “Beau” Biden III was a military veteran who toured Iraq for a year and served twice as Attorney General in Delaware before dying of brain cancer in 2015 at the age of 46.

One of the photos resting on the table was taken in 2009 and shows Beau with his son Robert Biden, the youngest of his two children, on his shoulders at a welcoming ceremony or with members of the Delaware Army National Guard’s 261st Signal Brigade.

Beau was the eldest of three children from his father’s first marriage to his late wife Neilia Hunter Biden. She died in a car accident in 1972 in which she and Joe’s 13-month-old daughter were killed Naomi Biden and Beau and his brother badly injured Hunter Biden.

ECB rate of interest resolution: assembly in January 2021

LONDON – The European Central Bank left interest rates unchanged on Thursday as euro countries continue to struggle with rising Covid-19 infections and subsequent lockdowns. However, it reiterated that it was “ready” to adjust its instruments if the economic situation did not improve.

The main refinancing operations of the ECB, the marginal credit facility and the deposit facility will remain at 0.00%, 0.25% and -0.50% respectively, according to a statement.

In December the ECB stepped up its massive economic stimulus program to support the economic recovery in the region. The pandemic emergency purchase program was extended to March 2022 and amounted to 1.85 trillion euros (2.25 trillion US dollars) for bond purchases. This enables eurozone governments to get cheaper interest rates when borrowing from public markets.

However, there are doubts about how the euro area is doing this year after GDP (gross domestic product) fell by 7.3% last year, according to ECB forecasts.

The New Year began with tighter social restrictions and national bans in many of the 19 countries that share the single currency. For example, this week Germany extended a national lockdown until February 14th. The Netherlands have announced that there will be a curfew from next week. And France decided to tighten its curfew earlier this month, while Portugal will close schools from Friday.

According to the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, there have been more than 16 million Covid-19 infections and more than 400,000 deaths in the EU.

“The Governing Council remains ready to adjust all of its instruments as necessary to ensure that inflation approaches its target in a sustainable manner,” the ECB said in a statement.

European leaders hope to speed up vaccinations in the coming months to curb the spread of the virus and its economic impact. The European Commission, the EU’s executive branch, has asked member states to vaccinate at least 70% of their adult populations by the summer.

Despite the difficult situation, the ECB has maintained its growth forecasts for this year. Speaking at an event earlier this month, Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said, “I think our last predictions in December are still very clearly plausible.” In December, the bank estimated the GDP rate to be 3.9% for 2021 and 2.1% for 2022.

Dovish for a “long time”

“As the euro zone vaccination program gains momentum, the economy should recover from the spring,” said Joseph Little, global chief strategist at HSBC Global Asset Management, in a research note following the announcement.

“Despite the prospect of a revitalized recovery, the ECB is likely to remain cautious for a long time, as the economy is around 7% smaller than a year ago,” he added.

Many economists expect the ECB to leave its policy unchanged for the foreseeable future, even if the lockdowns continue beyond March.

“Even if some of these downside risks were to materialize, the policy implications would be limited,” said Andrew Kenningham, chief economist for Europe at Capital Economics, in a long-time email. “
