10jili com By CHRISTOPHER RUGABER WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday named Andrew Ferguson as the next chair of the Federal Trade Commission . He will replace Lina Khan, who became a lightning rod for Wall Street and Silicon Valley by blocking billions of dollars’ worth of corporate acquisitions and suing Amazon and Meta while alleging anticompetitive behavior . Ferguson is already one of the FTC’s five commissioners, which is currently made up of three Democrats and two Republicans. “Andrew has a proven record of standing up to Big Tech censorship, and protecting Freedom of Speech in our Great Country,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding, “Andrew will be the most America First, and pro-innovation FTC Chair in our Country’s History.” Related Articles National Politics | Donald Trump is returning to the world stage.

The new chair is expected to appoint new directors of the FTC’s antitrust and consumer protection divisions. “These changes likely will make the FTC more favorable to business than it has been in recent years, though the extent to which is to be determined,” wrote Anthony DiResta, a consumer protection attorney at Holland & Knight, in a recent analysis . Deals that were blocked by the Biden administration could find new life with Trump in command. For example, the new leadership could be more open to a proposed merger between the country’s two biggest supermarket chains, Kroger and Albertsons, which forged a $24.6 billion deal to combine in 2022. Two judges halted the merger Tuesday night. The FTC had filed a lawsuit in federal court earlier this year to block the merger, claiming the deal would eliminate competition, leading to higher prices and lower wages for workers. The two companies say a merger would help them lower prices and compete against bigger rivals like Walmart. One of the judges said the FTC had shown it was likely to prevail in the administrative hearing. Yet given the widespread public concern over high grocery prices, the Trump administration may not fully abandon the FTC’s efforts to block the deal, some experts have said. And the FTC may continue to scrutinize Big Tech firms for any anticompetitive behavior. Many Republican politicians have accused firms such as Meta of censoring conservative views, and some officials in Trump’s orbit, most notably Vice President-elect JD Vance, have previously expressed support for Khan’s scrutiny of Big Tech firms. In addition to Fergson, Trump also announced Tuesday that he had selected Jacob Helberg as the next undersecretary of state for economic growth, energy and the environment.

Relational, Dellsons Group forge partnership to expand market presence in PakistanA leading surgeon left feeling “exhausted and burdened” after working tirelessly for 70 hours per week has revealed the “revolutionary” tool that has changed his life. Dr. Michael Ewing shared a video on LinkedIn earlier this week, detailing how the product has not only given him back precious time with his family and children – but also saved patients’ lives . Like many doctors, the 36-year-old dad spent his residency overworked, l ogging hundreds of hours . Much of Dr Ewing’s workload was actually down to endless charting, rather than focusing on his true passion: patient care. McDonald's fans share secret hack for making famous chicken nuggets extra crispy Home chef shares 'flu bomb' recipe that 'gets rid of illness in just three days' He longed to find a solution to have the capacity to be more present and now, he’s found it, through a “game-changing” tool called SurgeOn Scribe , launching today (10 December). Using AI technology, the feature automates the clinical documentation process – cutting down on mistakes, saving time and also whittling out the likelihood of any legal problems. “Doctors want to help people – that’s why we chose this path – but we are forced to spend so much time charting, when all we really want to do is to talk and listen to our patients,” said Dr Ewing. “I see about 50-60 patients a week and I have to remember small details, regardless of the situation," he said. “But doctors are only human – there’s a lot of mental stress and a lot of time that’s wasted by trying to recount visits. “On top of that, we are constantly being pulled in multiple directions and there’s always another emergency going on." He added “I save at least an hour a day in the clinic now and I can’t tell you how valuable it is for my mental capacity. Not only that, but I now spend 95% of patient visits listening to what patients are saying rather than making mental notes or being distracted by the demands of charting." “Reviewing my own experience, I calculated that saving time on chart notes could allow surgeons to see up to an additional seven people per day in a half-day clinic," he claimed. “This AI tool will save patient’s lives.” Growing up, Dr. Ewing, who is originally from Dallas, Texas, actually wanted to be a professional guitar player. He was working in an ER while studying music at the Dallas Baptist University, when he became fascinated by the medical profession – which led him to switch courses completely. The doctor said: “I had been working as a scribe to make extra money but didn’t expect to be so inspired by how physicians worked with their hands." “Surgery specifically has the ability to cure people in certain situations and this spoke to me," he said. "So I switched college tracts, which was not easy." “Surgical training is exhausting and surgical life as an attending is even more exhausting due to the constant demands of patients, continued Ewing. “It keeps you from your family and there is also a mental strain. “Now, with SurgeOn Scribe, I get home an hour earlier twice a week, allowing me to see my children more," he championed.“I can also take an extra day off every month, which is life-changing for my family." “Time is my most valuable asset and this tool gives it to me in droves.” With burnout becoming more common in the medical field, Dr.Ewing knew there must be a better way of working and found himself wanting to do something to help. His feelings were echoed by three other surgeons in the field; Dr Jeremy Heffner, Dr.Mario Leyba and Dr. Mark Soliman. The trio founded the app SurgeOn, with the aim of putting an end to the “isolation” felt universally among surgeons. It allows medical professionals to share cases and complexities of a job that most non-surgeons have a tough time relating to. But more needed to be done and that’s when Scribe was born. The new feature, which is found within the app and is launching today, hopes to provide a better patient experience. It allows users to transcribe medical notes either straight onto the computer or, if connectivity is low, onto an Apple Watch. Partnering with MedQuill, an AI-powered medical documentation platform that Dr Ewing helped create, this new product will help SurgeOn’s network of over 15,000 surgeons get their lives back. “For surgeons, our work-life balance is dictated by others more than people realize,” added Dr. Heffner, co-founder of SurgeOn. “Note writing and documentation has eaten up a significant portion of our lives. For the first time in years, we can truly connect with patients and have meaningful conversations with them." “I also have more time to be with my family, and maintain my own fitness levels and mental health," he added “As I age I have truly realised the value of time as a commodity, therefore having more time is priceless.” DAILY NEWSLETTER: Sign up here to get the latest news and updates from the Mirror US straight to your inbox with our FREE newsletter.The first commercial batch of made-in-Canada low-carbon aviation fuel sourced from non-food grade canola and tallow has been produced and quickly purchased. Fuel retailer Parkland Corp. said Tuesday it has successfully produced about 100,000 litres of the fuel at its refinery in Burnaby, B.C. “using existing infrastructure.” Parkland senior vice-president Ferio Pugliese said it means production can easily be scaled up, but only if Canada provides the necessary conditions to create an ecosystem around the nascent commodity and its adoption across the country. “We need to do more to make low-carbon air travel a reality,” Pugliese said during the announcement in Vancouver on Tuesday. “We need a long-term Canadian solution for low-carbon, sustainable aviation fuel.” While the potential for emission reduction is massive with production in Canada is also significantly more expensive, Pugliese said. He notes that similar low-carbon fuels used in vehicles, buses and ferries have about one-eighth of the carbon content when compared to traditional fuels. Pugliese said other countries such as the United States incentivize production and use of low-carbon jet fuel, creating the necessary ecosystem to support a local industry. “Currently, the Canadian aviation industry purchases low-carbon aviation (fuel) from other countries and imports it from across the globe into Canada. That makes little sense.” Parkland began trying to develop the fuel in 2017, and the entire batch of the first production run has already been bought by Air Canada. Pugliese said the purchase of the fuel by Air Canada completes a value chain within the country that shows local development, production, sale and use of low-carbon jet fuel can be achieved to the benefit of everyone — but only if the support from government is there. “Airlines need very practical solutions, and today, right here in B.C., Parkland has created a made-in-Canada solution to a global challenge,” he said. The comments echoed that of WestJet CEO Alexis von Hoensbroech, who in 2023 said the global push for decarbonizing commercial aviation by 2050 will cause spikes in airfares unless governments intervene. Part of the challenge, von Hoensbroech said, is that alternative energy sources such as electric or hydrogen aircraft remains a long way from reality, making the sector difficult to decarbonize. In February, a pair of industry groups, including the National Airlines Council of Canada, said the country needed incentives matching that of the United States to spark production of sustainable aviation fuels. Commercial aviation giant Airbus has said that low-carbon jet fuel can reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by about 80 per cent, and development is ongoing for planes to be able to run completely on it instead of needing to mix it with conventional fuels. But Airbus also said the ecosystem for the fuel is still “in its infancy,” with just 600 million litres produced last year, making up 0.2 per cent of all aviation fuel for 2023. “Appropriate regulatory mechanisms and inventive structures still need to be put in place, and even then, there are challenges associated with the limited availability of land and biowaste,” Airbus said of the technology on its website. Airbus has said it is increasing its own use of low-carbon fuels with a goal of reaching 30 per cent of its total fuel mix by 2030.

David Pastrnak struggled to score over the course of 17 days and seven games. The Bruins star finally broke through in Boston’s 6-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday during its Centennial game at TD Garden. The drought didn’t come due to lack of effort. Pastrnak had games where he took several shots on net. Other times he gave up a shot he’d typically take in order to pass the puck. No matter what Pastrnak did, opposing goalies were able to stop him. For Pastrnak, being scoreless in seven games wasn’t taking up too much space in his mind. “I know I haven’t been scoring that much, but at the same time, there’s a lot of parts of my game that I wasn’t happy with,” Pastrnak told reporters after Tuesday’s practice. “Honestly, I didn’t even think about scoring. I feel good now, confidence is coming back. So I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be a little bit better.” Pastrnak said while he’d like to shoot more, if he sees someone in a better position to score it’s hard for him to not try to get the puck over to his teammate. But he’s aware he needs — and wants — to shoot more. He’d also like to be on the puck more. “Sometimes when the offense doesn’t come, you move away from details,” Pastrnak said. “So get back to details, play the right away and have the puck more on my stick.” Despite the drought, Pastrnak leads the Bruins with nine goals and 14 assists. Offense hasn’t come easy as a whole for the Bruins. They’ve given up 80 goals and have scored 64 through the first 26 games. Charlie McAvoy said the dam is on the verge of breaking, and Boston showed flashes of that on Sunday.In conclusion, Greenwood's achievement of scoring a double in just 14 games in the French Ligue 1 is a remarkable feat that puts him in the same league as Ibrahimovic and Neymar.
