5 Memorial Day deals that are worth your time (including a Costco membership discount)

Published by skeptic

I’ve been waiting to try Walmart+ (Walmart’s version of Amazon Prime), and now is finally the time.  Right now, you can sign up for a month of Walmart+ for just $1, and get free grocery and pharmacy delivery, free next-day and two-day shipping, $0.10 a gallon savings on gas, your choice of Peacock or Paramount+ streaming service, and more with your membership.  Also: This sneaky deal gets you a month of Peacock or Paramount+ for $1 – what to know If you don’t want to continue, just cancel before the 30 days are up, and you won’t be charged more than $1. If you do want to continue, Walmart+ costs $12.99 a month or $98 for the year — which is still cheaper than a Peacock Premium yearly subscription ($110 annually) and close to a Paramount+ Essential annual plan ($90 a year).  Source link

Google Announces Slew of AI Advances, Including a Personal AI Assistant Coming Soon

Published by Sam Flores

Google will soon unleash a wealth of new artificial intelligence-powered tools and systems, including an AI assistant that will help users by proactively performing tasks on their behalf. “Agentic” AI, the recent buzzword of choice for tech firms, was a central focus of Google’s annual developers conference, Google I/O. The upcoming AI agent, Gemini Spark, was one of many of the company’s announcements from the conference Tuesday. “We are firmly in our agentic Gemini era,” Google CEO Sundar Pichai said Tuesday before a packed amphitheater near the company’s Mountain View, California, headquarters. “I’ve played around with all sorts of agents and you can really see the potential, but it’s still early days when it comes to making agents easy to use, super secure and truly helpful.” Google and its corporate parent, Alphabet Inc., have poured billions into AI development. Its top finance executive said on a call with investors in late April that this year’s capital expenditures may climb as high as $190 billion. But the investment seems to be paying off, with its quarterly …

Meet 60s Eurovision champion Lulu’s famous ex-husbands – including world famous popstar

Published by Daniella Wilson

It’s that time of the year again, when we settle in for a night of cheesy pop and hope against all hope that the UK will finally triumph again at Eurovision. Look Mum No Computer will be hoping to end 29 years of disappointment, but it was 57 years ago that Scottish singer Lulu triumphed at the music competition, winning with her song Boom Bang-a-Bang. The singer’s win was unusual in that she also shared the victory with three other acts, with all four performers receiving the same number of points. Lulu burst onto the music scene in 1964 with a cover of the song Shout, with the number propelling her to nationwide fame. She later catapulted herself to worldwide acclaim by providing the theme song for the 1967 To Sir, with Love, in which she also starred in. The 77-year-old has continued to have an active career, recording the theme song for the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun, while also performing hits like The Boat That I Row, Independence and …

Chazz Palminteri celebrated his 74th birthday on May 15 and likely marked the milestone alongside his two children, Dante and Gabriella, whom he shares with his wife, Gianna Ranaudo. Despite being known to millions for his standout roles in A Bronx Tale and The Usual Suspects, Chazz Palminteri considers his most important role to be that of a devoted father to his children. “Fatherhood has changed me. It’s made me more responsible,” he told OK! Magazine in January 2009. “It’s not just me I have to worry about. It’s not just me and my wife – it’s these kids that walk around and look at you and go, ‘Daddy, what’s up? What’s going on dad? Are you going to pay for my college? Can I have a car? Can I have this? Can I have that?’ You can’t let them down.” © Getty ImagesChazz Palminteri and Gianna Ranaudo share two kids Both Dante and Gabriella have followed in their father’s acting footsteps, and it seems their passion for the craft was evident from an early …

India’s Modi to Begin Five-Nation Tour, Including UAE, Amid Middle East Crisis

Published by Sam Flores

May 11 (Reuters) – Indian Prime Minister Narendra ⁠Modi ⁠will embark on ⁠a five-nation tour taking in the United Arab ​Emirates and Europe from May 15-20, India’s foreign ministry said ‌in a statement on ‌Monday, as the Middle East crisis drives up global ⁠oil ⁠prices and strains India’s foreign currency reserves. Modi is to visit ​the UAE on May 15 and subsequently travel to the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway and Italy, the statement said. The trip follows ​Modi urging a series of measures, including fuel conservation, fewer ⁠imports and ⁠gold purchases, as ⁠well ​as reduced travel, as a surge in energy prices takes a ​toll on the ⁠country’s foreign exchange buffers. Indian shares fell on Monday, and the rupee endured its sharpest drop in more than a month to end at its weakest closing level on ⁠record following Modi’s call for austerity measures. Higher oil prices are a ⁠major risk for net energy importer India, threatening to widen the country’s current account deficit, slow growth and stoke inflation. Modi and UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al …

The Princess of Wales has famously worn some of the most breathtaking pieces of jewellery from the royal vault. However, Prince William‘s wife, 44, isn’t just about recycling heirloom pieces. She has built a small but mighty collection of earrings from a Chelsea-based designer – and they are earrings that she can pass down to the next generation. Kate’s collection of Robinson Pelham earrings is highly desirable and tells us a little something about the royal wearer. © GettyKate wore her mother’s Robinson Pelham earrings to the Royal Film Performance of Spectre at Royal Albert Hall in 2015 “It would be easy to default to dipping into the royal archive with all its magnificent, decadent pieces, but by commissioning her own pieces and choosing a jeweller known for unique, joyful pieces, Kate in no way dilutes her style and personality,” Jessica Flinn-Allen, a jewellery designer with a degree in metalwork and founder of Jessica Flinn Fine Jewellery, tells us. “These investment pieces can be worn again and again, and are potential heirloom pieces for her …
