2025 NBA playoffs: Convention -semi -final snack bars

The second round of the NBA playoffs 2025 is here, and our NBA insiders have covered them for every game of the semi -finals of the East and West Conference.

The No. 4 seeds Indiana Pacers started on Sunday evening in East Semis by being removed from 121: 112 from the Cleveland Cavaliers No. 1 with a win from 121-112. The Cavs will try to jump back on Tuesday in game 2 (7 p.m. ET, TNT).

On Monday, New York Knicks defeated the 2-sowing Boston Celtics in a overtime thriller in game 1 behind Jalen Brunsons in the third seed of the East. Also on Monday, the 4-seed nuggets Denver will compete against No. 1-Seed Oklahoma City Thunder in the west.

Since teams continue to pursue the Larry O'brien trophy, this is most important at both conferences and what you should pay attention to in all four series.

Eastern Conference

Game 1: Knicks 108, Celtics 105 (OT)

What we learned: The Knicks, in the third quarter of 20 and with the flood of swing, which apparently looked completely against them, were still very alive. This is because they showed incredible Grit – and also because the Celtics played far too much with the lead in the second half. The defending champions made 20 shots in the third, with a whopping 19 from beyond the 3-point arch. The Celtics ended 60 3-point tests with an NBA playoff record.

Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown & Co., which exclusively from the bow, the Celtics, who had no opportunity to get simple points from the foul line. It also benefited the Knicks who had a trio of starter-jals Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart-in bad difficulties. The game went into the extension, but until then the dynamics had shifted enough to give the Knick a shot that they probably should never have been based on how much Boston led in the third.

Jalen Brunson scores 29 points to help the Knicks overcome a 20-point deficit and defeat the Celtics in overtime.

Game 2: Knicks at Celtics (Wednesday, 7 p.m. et, TNT)

What can be seen: What does the shooting diet for Tatum and Brown look like, who ran too much on the 3 on Monday evening when they only met 5 out of 25 Treys? Will Boston's Kristaps Porzingis be back for game 2? He only played 13 minutes in game 1 and saw no action in the second half due to illness. This victory of Com Come-from-heart for New York should give the Knick's confidence because you now know that you can definitely beat the Celtics after winning Boston in the regular season. – Chris Herring

Game 1: Pacers 121, Cavaliers 112

What we learned: Indiana threw the first punch and steel the lead in the series after the 29:22 lead in the fourth quarter in the series. As an outsider, the Pacers came against the top seeds cavs in this series, but it was Indiana who ran to an advantage of the first quarter and dictated the game flow while he passed Cleveland on his first loss of the playoffs.

The Pacers made 19 3 points, the second most common in a playoff game in franchise history, and they had six players with two numbers in the goal. The Pacers All-Star Guard Tyrese Haliburton ended with 22 points, 13 templates, 3 blocks and theft, while Indiana shot his passports 7 for 12 out of 3 (58%).

Game 2: Pacers at Cavaliers (Tuesday, 7 p.m. ET, TNT)

What can be seen: Darius Garland's status is very important in this series. In the first round against Miami Heat, Cleveland had become less than 100% of it, but it was seen from the opening day of the opening that the Pacers are in competition.

Indiana consistently created open shots and hit her down. The Cavaliers will need Garland, who missed the last three playoff games because of a bricked -up big toe to provide Donovan Mitchell, who ended with 33 points, offensive help. – Jamal Collier

Scharnier Gesundheit unwahrscheinlicher Weg zum Börsengang

Bei der Digital Physical Therapy Startup Hinge Health erkannten CEO Daniel Perez hart arbeitende Mitarbeiter mit dem “Cockroach Award”, einer Auszeichnung, die ein T-Shirt “Cockroach Squad” und eine Barauszahlung mit sich brachte.

Verweise auf das Insekt waren im alten Hauptquartier des Unternehmens in London reichlich vorhanden, wo ein Bild einer Kakerlake an der Wand prominent ausgestellt wurde. Für einen Großteil der 10-jährigen Geschichte von Hinge war die Kakerlake das inoffizielle Maskottchen. Die Mitarbeiter nannten es flossy, nachdem sich der Virus -Tanz “The Floss” bewegte.

Perez genießt die Symbolik. Bei seiner Entschlossenheit, ein Unternehmen aufzubauen, das Widrigkeiten durchdringt, hat er die Mitarbeiter ermutigt, sich wie Kakerlaken zu betrachten, da die schmutzige Widerstandsfähigkeit der Kreatur und die bekannte Fähigkeit, harte Bedingungen zu überleben, der Kreaturen zu sehen ist.

“Es war die Identität jeder Person im Unternehmen”, sagte Joshua Sturm, Vizepräsident von 2019 bis 2024 und jetzt Chief Revenue Officer bei Cancer Prevention Startup Color Health. “Wir sind alle zusammen und egal was passiert, wir werden zusammen überleben.”

Perez und seine Arbeitskräfte von 1.400 Personen stehen jetzt vor dem ultimativen Test ihrer Mist. Hinge, das 2017 von London nach San Francisco gezogen ist, versucht, in einer Zeit extremer wirtschaftlicher Unsicherheit und Marktvolatilität an die Börse zu gehen, die mehrere Unternehmen, darunter Online-Kreditgeber Klarna und Ticketmarkt, StubHub, ihre lang erwarteten Börsengänge verschoben haben.

Hinge reichte seinen Prospekt am 10. März ein und kündigte Pläne an, an der New Yorker Börse unter dem Ticker -Symbol “Hnge” zu handeln. Drei Wochen später kündigte Präsident Donald Trump eine umfassende Tarifpolitik an, die die US -Märkte in Aufruhr versetzte, nachdem die NASDAQ bereits das schlechteste Quartal seit 2022 gedrängt hatte.

Aber das Scharnier, angeführt von seinem 39-jährigen Mitbegründer und CEO, erscheint entschlossen, durch das Chaos zu versorgen. Hinge lehnte es ab, einen Kommentar abzugeben oder Perez für ein Interview zur Verfügung zu stellen.

Die Öffentlichkeit zu gehen war bereits ein riskantes Bestreben für das Scharnier. Der IPO -Markt ist seit Ende 2021 größtenteils ruhend, als die steigenden Inflation und die steigenden Zinssätze die Anleger aus riskanten Vermögenswerten herausholten. Innerhalb der digitalen Gesundheit war es fast völlig tot.

Health-Tech-Unternehmen haben sich nach der Covid-Pandemie bemüht, sich an ein gedämpftes Wachstumsumfeld anzupassen, und viele einst vielversprechende Geschäftsmodelle haben sich nicht wie geplant herausgestellt.

Das starkste Beispiel ist die virtuelle Gesundheitsgesellschaft Teladocmit einer Marktkapitalisierung von etwas mehr als 1 Milliarde US -Dollar weniger als fünf Jahre nach dem Kauf von Digital Health Provider Livongo in einem Deal, der die kombinierten Unternehmen mit 37 Milliarden US -Dollar schätzte. Die BetterHelp Mental Health Unit von Teladoc war ein besonders problematisches Geschäft, da in den Jahren nach der Pandemie bezahlte Benutzer abgesetzt wurden.

Im Laufe der Zeit wechselte Hings Cockroach Award von einem monatlichen Preis zu einer vierteljährlichen Auszeichnung. Das Unternehmen hat es vor etwa einem Jahr ausschließlich in die Vorbereitung auf das nächste öffentlich ausgerichtete Kapitel ausgetrieben, aber die Überlebens-AT-All-Costs-Mentalität bleibt laut aktuellen Mitarbeitern bestehen. Jetzt werden die Mitarbeiter mit den “Movers Awards” anerkannt, einer Anspielung auf den Fokus des Unternehmens auf Bewegung.

“Wir haben viele Jahrzehnte vor sich”, schrieb Perez in einem Brief an Investoren im März. “Wir hoffen, dass Sie sich uns auf dieser Reise anschließen.”

CNBC sprach mit 13 aktuellen und ehemaligen Scharnier -Mitarbeitern, Investoren und Personen in der Nähe von Perez für diese Geschichte, von denen einige baten, nicht benannt zu werden, um einen offenen Kommentar abzugeben.

“Ich gab ihm schreckliche Ratschläge”

Hinge verwendet Software, um Patienten zu helfen, akute muskuloskelettale Verletzungen, chronische Schmerzen und die Rehabilitation nach der Operation remote durchzuführen. Große Arbeitgeber mögen Ziel Und Morgan Stanley Decken Sie die Kosten ab, damit ihre Mitarbeiter auf die App-basierte virtuelle Physiotherapie von Hinge zugreifen können, sowie die namens ENSO mit dem tragbaren elektrischen Nervenstimulationsgerät.

Das Unternehmen sagt, seine Technologie kann Benutzern helfen, Schmerzen zu bewältigen, die Kosten für die Gesundheitsversorgung zu senken und die Notwendigkeit von Operationen und Opioiden zu senken. Der Umsatz stieg im vergangenen Jahr um 33% auf 390,4 Mio. USD, während der Nettoverlust laut Prospectus von 108,1 Mio. USD im Vorjahr auf 11,9 Mio. USD eingeschränkt wurde.

Die Kundenauflage von Hinge wechselte im vergangenen Jahr um 36% auf 2.256, und die Zahl der einzelnen Mitglieder stieg um 44% auf über 532.300, so die Einreichung.

In einem aktualisierten Prospekt am Montag sagte Hinge, der Umsatz stieg im ersten Quartal um 50% auf 123,8 Mio. USD, gegenüber 82,7 Mio. USD im Vorjahreszeitraum, und dieses Nettoeinkommen für den Zeitraum betrug 17,1 Mio. USD gegenüber einem Verlust von 26,5 Mio. USD im Vorjahr.

Hinge hat mehr als 1 Milliarde US -Dollar von Investoren, einschließlich Tiger Global Management und Coatue Management, gesammelt und im Oktober 2021 eine Bewertung von 6,2 Milliarden US -Dollar leistet, das letzte Mal, als das Unternehmen außerhalb der Finanzierung gesammelt hat. Die größten institutionellen Aktionäre sind Venture -Firmen Insight Partners und Atomico, die laut der Einreichung 19% bzw. 15% der Aktien besitzen.

Perez und Gabriel Mecklenburg, Hings Executive Chairman, gründeten das Unternehmen 2014. Das Paar traf sich, während sie beide in Großbritannien promovierte – Perez an der Universität von Oxford und Mecklenburg am Imperial College London. Laut Perez 'Zwillingsbruder David waren sie abgelenkte Studenten.

Als sie Scharnier starteten, hatten Perez und Mecklenburg bereits zwei weitere Unternehmungen zusammengefunden. Einer war der Oxbridge Biotech Roundtable, eine Organisation, die Akademiker und Branchenexperten verband. Der andere war Marblar, der sich an der Kommerzialisierung des akademischen geistigen Eigentums auswirkte.

Perez verabschiedete sich von Oxford, während er an Marblar arbeitete, und kehrte nie zurück. Sein Bruder war anfangs kein Fan der Entscheidung.

“Ich gab ihm schreckliche Ratschläge”, sagte David Perez, Absolvent der Yale Law School und Partnerin an Perkins Coie in Seattle. “Ich sagte: 'Ich glaube, Sie sind ein Idiot, ich denke, Sie sollten sich auf Ihren Doktortitel konzentrieren. Nur ein Idiot würde in Oxford keine Doktorarbeit beenden.'”

Die Zwillinge haben zwei ältere Geschwister. Ihre Mutter wanderte 1968 aus Kuba aus, folgte 12 Jahre später von ihrem Vater. Ihre Eltern trafen sich in Miami, heirateten nach nur drei Daten und sind nach mehr als 40 Jahren immer noch zusammen.

Die Familie zog 1990 von Miami nach Salt Lake City, Utah. Perez 'Mutter war Ersatzlehrer und sein Vater arbeitete als Geschirrspüler und Busboy in Restaurants. David Perez sagte, ihr Vater habe “rund um die Uhr gearbeitet” und habe in seinem Schlaf Bestellungen aufgerufen.

“Es war nicht viel Geld, ich denke, zusammen haben sie ungefähr 19.000 Dollar pro Jahr verdient”, sagte David Perez. “Aber sie haben es zusammen genäht und vier Kinder großgezogen.”

Die Zwillingsjungen waren wettbewerbsfähig, besonders wenn es um Akademiker und Basketball in der Einfahrt spielte. David sagte, sein Bruder habe “großartige Noten” und habe immer eine Neigung zu Wissenschaft und Medizin, die High School im Alter von 16 Jahren abgeschlossen und dann das College an der Westminster University, einer kleinen Schule für freie Künste in Utah, anfing.

“Ich schwöre”, sagte David Perez.

Von einem Auto getroffen

Perez war Student am Honors College in Westminster und absolvierte einen Abschluss in Biologie. Richard Badenhausen, Dekan des Honors College, beschrieb Perez als unabhängige Denker und ehrgeizige Student, insbesondere für sein Alter.

“Es war ihm nicht so wichtig, was die Leute über ihn dachten, was in meinem Buch eine Stärke ist”, sagte Badenhausen in einem Interview.

Als Perez 13 Jahre alt war, wurde er von einem Auto angefahren. Er brach einen Arm und ein Bein und musste in ein nahe gelegenes Krankenhaus geflogen werden. Nach drei Operationen und 12 Monaten Reha hatte er ein neues Interesse an Orthopädie und Physiotherapie.

Mecklenburg hatte seine eigene schwere Verletzung und zerreißte sein vorderes Kreuzband (ACL) während eines Judo -Matchs, das laut Hinge's Website auch ein Jahr der Reha erforderte.

Eines Tages im Oktober 2014Anwesend Das Paar stellte ihre Köpfe zusammen und skizzierte die Werkzeuge, die sie sich gewünscht hatten, während einer Physiotherapie verfügbar. Laut Hings Prospekt betreffen die muskuloskelettalen Bedingungen weltweit bis zu 1,7 Milliarden Menschen weltweit, so dass es keinen Mangel an Möglichkeiten gab.

Sie hatten das frühe Scharnierkonzept innerhalb von Stunden und einen Prototyp, der bis Dezember dieses Jahres bereit war.

In den frühen Tagen von Hinge trafen sich Perez und Mecklenburg jeden Samstagmorgen zum Gesprächsgeschäft. Jetzt, wie sie gealtert sind und Familien gegründet haben, treffen sie sich laut Kollegen am Mittwochabend. Perez begrüßte sein erstes Kind Ende letzten Jahres mit seiner Frau.

“Das Wachstum in den letzten sechs, sieben, acht Jahren war gerade unglaublich”, sagte Jon Reynolds, ein Tech -Gründer, der zu Hinge's Seed Funding Round beigetragen hat. “Das kommt auf die Qualität von Dan und Gabriel als Führungskräfte an. Sie ergänzen sich wirklich gut und haben offensichtlich diesen gegenseitigen Respekt.”

Perez ist ein praktischer CEO, der von seinen Mitarbeitern viel erwartet.

Er ist direkt, detailorientiert, markiert, wettbewerbsfähig und kann laut aktuellen und ehemaligen Mitarbeitern intensiv sein. Aber er hat sich der Mission und dem Wohlbefinden seiner Mitarbeiter verpflichtet, sagten sie.

“Er ist einer dieser seltenen Gründer -CEOs, von denen ich denke, dass sie den ganzen Weg gehen können”, sagte Paul Kruszewski, ein ehemaliger Scharnier -Angestellter, der sich dem Unternehmen anschloss, nachdem er 2021 sein kanadisches Computer Vision Startup, WRNCH, erworben hatte.

Die Mitarbeiter sagen, Perez sei ein unersättlicher Leser, der oft zwei bis vier Bücher pro Monat beendet. Dazu gehören Bücher über Wirtschaft und Führung, eine wichtige Informationsquelle, da das Scharnier sein erster wirklicher Job war. Er ist ein Fan von “The Innovator's Recription” von Clayton Christensen und anderen “, überquert den Abgrund” von Geoffrey Moore und “The Long Fix” von Dr. Vivian Lee.

Er mag es auch, dass seine Mitarbeiter lesen. Führungskräfte bereiten sich häufig darauf vor, Kapitel eines Buches in ihren Treffen zu besprechen.

“Ich würde nach Hause kommen und es würde ein Paket von Dan geben, und es ist ein Buch”, sagte Sturm, der Partnerschaften und neue Marktentwicklung bei Hinge leitete. “Das war nur die Norm.”

Sturm, der seit rund 30 Jahren im Gesundheitswesen und im Bereich des Gesundheitswesens tätig ist, sagte, dass das Scharnier sehr überzeugt sei, die Einstellung zu beantragen, so dass bei leitenden Angestellten keine Umsätze nicht viel Umsatz haben. Er sagte, dass Hings Recruitment Process am schwierigsten war, den er jemals erlebt habe.

Ein weiterer “Dan-Ismus”, wie Sturm es nannte, ist Hingses Philosophie zum Schreiben. Mit Perez schreiben Mitarbeiter Memos, in der Regel bis zu sechs Seiten lang, anstatt vor den Besprechungen Rutschdecke oder andere Materialien vorzubereiten. Perez wurde von einer ähnlichen Praxis bei inspiriert AmazonasLaut aktuellen und ehemaligen Mitarbeitern und sieht es als einen Weg, Mitarbeiter zu zwingen, über das nachzudenken, was sie sagen wollen, anstatt sich hinter Bullet -Punkten zu verstecken.

Die Memo -Kultur von Hinge kann eine Anpassung sein, insbesondere für neue Mitarbeiter. Sturm sagte, er fand, dass die Praxis zunächst “verrückt” sei, habe es aber letztendlich zu schätzen und sagte, sie habe seine Stellplätze verbessert.

“Wenn Sie sich irgendwie zurücklehnen, gehen Sie, 'Weißt du eigentlich, er hat sich nicht geirrt'”, sagte Sturm.

Hinge hat seit seiner Leitung von Venture-Firma Atomico 2017 einen langen Weg zurückgelegt. Das in London ansässige Unternehmen sagte in einem Blog-Beitrag zu dem Zeitpunkt, dass es “von Daniel und Gabriel äußerst beeindruckt war, und ihre Entschlossenheit, ein großes Problem in der Gesellschaft anzugehen”.

Carolina Brochado führte die Runde an, obwohl sie Atomico ein Jahr später verließ und jetzt bei der Investmentfirma EQT Group arbeitet. Sie sagte, dass das Scharschen an den Rand eines Börsengangs sei eine “Chance” eins von einer Million “, bemerkte jedoch, dass das Unternehmen es geschafft habe, ein beträchtliches Geschäft in der digitalen Gesundheit aufzubauen, obwohl es so viele Chancen dagegen hatte.

“Natürlich viele Erkenntnisse auf dem Weg, wie eine große Tech -Korrektur in der Mitte”, sagte Brochado in einem Interview. “Aber es ist wirklich eines dieser seltenen Beispiele für nur einen enormen Markt, der durchdrungen war.”

Für David Perez, dessen Firma jetzt als Außenberater von Hinge fungiert, war es “faszinierend” zu beobachten, dass das Startup wächst, sagte er.

“Ich bin Partner einer großen Anwaltskanzlei”, sagte er, “und ich bin nur der zweit erfolgreichste Zwilling. Aber ich denke, ich bin damit einverstanden.”

BETRACHTEN: IPO -Markt wird wahrscheinlich in der Nähe des Arbeitstages abholen

Sebastian Stan places Bucky's future to Thunderbolts

There are some spoilers for the end of Marvel's Thunderbolts. Stop reading now if you don't want to be spoiled.

At the beginning of this year, Captain America: Brave New World Kurz presented a new direction for James “Bucky” Barnes, a figure Sebastian Stan in Captain America: The First Avenger since 2011. In the Brave New World, the former winter soldier apparently retired out of the reformed hero and went into politics by ran for the congress. Thunderbolts reveals that Bucky won his choice as a house of representatives. But his stay in the congress was short.

Stan recently spoke to Entertainment Weekly about where Bucky's political career is now because he has joined the Misfit Heroes team in Thunderbolts. At the end of the film, the team's assets change drastically. And in the post-credits scene, Bucky is still in a team months after her renaming. This seemed to indicate that Bucky was a congress member, and Stan agreed that his short stay in politics was over.

“Yes, it's almost like crossing it out, right? “Ultimately, he realizes:” No, I am who I am and I do things how I do it, and I should just do that. “… the only problem I had was:” Well, why does he grow out his hair when he becomes a congress member?! “But I still wanted to expand it, so I thought: 'I don't care.' “

Jake Schreier, the director of Thunderbolts, also confirmed that Bucky's term in the congress was “pretty well done” before adding: “I think he found a new place that is much more sensible for him.”

Without spoiling the exact details of the end or the post-credits scene of the film, Bucky and his new teammates are ready to play an even greater role in Avengers: Doomsday than previously believed. This means that the stars of the Thunderbolts will be back in cinemas in about a year when the Doomsday arrives on May 1, 2026.

It’s both probably the most nicely -known star cluster of the Milky Manner or the smallest identified galaxy.

How do you differentiate a galaxy from a mere group of stars? It's easy, isn't it? A galaxy is a large collection of millions or billions of stars, while a star heap only has about a thousand. Well, this type of thinking will not be a ph.D. In astronomy! Seriously, the border between the galaxy and the star cluster is not always clear. A typical example, UMA3/U1.

It is easy to distinguish galaxies like Andromeda and the Milky Way. They are large, gravitatively bound and dominated by dark matter. It is also easy to distinguish star clusters like the Pleiades. They are loosely bound star groups without dark matter. But for a kind of small dwarf galaxy, which is known as the ultra-loved dwarf (UFDS), the dividing line becomes blurred.

UFDS are dominated by dark matter. The mass of the Milky Way is, for example, about 85% dark matter. Ultrafaine dwarf galaxy can have a thousand times more dark matter than shining matter. That's why they are so weak. Since Ufds often contain some of the oldest stars in the universe, astronomers love to study them for references to the origins of galaxies. That brings us to Uma3/U1.

Even his name tells us that there is a problem. If the object is actually a dwarf galaxy, its name Ursa Major III should be, since it is a satellite enaxy in the Ursa Major constellation. If it is an old star cluster, it should be called unions 1, as it was discovered by the ultraviolet near the optical infrared -optical north survey (unions). If it is a galaxy, it is the smallest and dark material galaxy that has been discovered so far. If it is a star cluster, it is the oldest star cluster, which has been discovered so far so far, at the age of around 11 billion years.

UMA3/U1 is almost tiny. There are only 20 light years, contains only about 60 stars and has a visible mass of only 16 suns. In comparison, the Pleies has about the same diameter, but contains more than 1,000 stars and 800 solar masses. The real question for UMA3/U1 is whether it is dominated by dark matter.

In a recently carried out study, the team examined several tests to distinguish star clusters and dwarf galaxies. Their first approach was to look at the dynamics of the visible stars, provided that it is a star cluster. Based on their known applications, the team simulated how long it would take for the stars to be free, a process that is known as evaporation. Based on its simulations, the cluster could survive another 2-3 billion years. This is a good fraction of the estimated age of 11 billion years, which indicates that U1 is simply a stable star cluster.

The second test that the team applies for is what is called a mass function. This is a diagram of the way in which the mass of the cluster varies with the distance. If it is a cluster, the mass should be more evenly distributed, but if it is a galaxy, stars should be clapped towards the middle. Here the data is less conclusive. The distribution of visible stars is a decent agreement with the cluster model, but for a galaxy, the central stars would be mainly white dwarfs and neutron stars, which are too weak to distinguish them with current observations.

Overall, the evidence for UMA3/U1 tends to be a star cluster, but the team notes that further observations of other UFDs are finally necessary. Fortunately, upcoming telescopes such as Vera Rubin Observatory will discover many other weak dwarfs in time.

Brooklyn Beckham, Nicola Peltz Miss David Beckham birthday

David Beckham celebrates Victoria Beckham's birthday with sweet photos from childhood

David BeckhamThe team was two members.

When the football star rang on his 50th birthday on May 2, he was surrounded by a woman Victoria BeckhamSons Romeo Beckham22 and Cruz Beckham20, as well as the 13-year-old daughter Harper Beckham.

The couple's oldest son was missing in particular for the celebrations Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham.

In fact, Brooklyn and Nicola, while five of the immediate family members of Beckham together with the coordination of the naval numbers, were nowhere to be found in the pictures that were shared by David's epic bash.

Victoria, who shared the carousel of the photos, labeled her contribution from May 4: “Special memories with family and friends. We all love you.”

She marked her two oldest sons in the caption and recorded a hashtag that represents her daughter, who has no Instagram account.

In addition to photos of Victoria and David, who pose with their three younger children Spice Girls Alaun shared cute moments from the party, including Romeo, who held a tray with candelit cupcakes in his hand, Cruz on a paddleboard in a pond and David, who put a delightful kiss on Harper's forehead.

Iberian energy failure factors to community -growing ache – not on inexperienced power failure

After the unprecedented power failure on Monday, Spain and Portugal largely restored power – the worst in recent European history.

The Fallout has put the region's trust in renewable energies under Fire. Santiago Abascal, leader of the right-wing extremist Vox party in Spain, even called on the country to give up “climate fanaticism” in response to the power failure. However, experts emphasized TNW that the problem is not a green energy, but the outdated grid infrastructure and technology that it depends on.

“What happened this week should be a strong memory of the dangers that does not invest in a more resilient energy network,” Taco Engelaar in Amsterdam, Managing Director of Energy Infrastructure Neara, told TNW.

Last year Portugal and Spain put together, each 87.5% And 56% From their stream of renewable energies such as wind, solar and hydropower. The two countries both have their grids completely with green energy for a short time. However, since the Iberian nations have progressed in the race for renewable energies, they may have been victims of their own momentum.

Grow out of the grid?

While wind and solar create a clean, cheap electricity, they do not produce any power in a steady current – they rise and fall with the weather. However, the grids in Europe were largely built for more predictable energy sources such as coal, gas or nuclear power plants.

The 💜 the EU technology

The latest rumors from the EU -Tech scene, a story of our wise old founder Boris and some questionable KI art. It is free of charge every week in your inbox. Register now!

Without this stabilizing force or the addition of alternatives such as battery storage systems, the network becomes more susceptible to painting or offering electricity. As we have seen this week, this can overwhelm the system in rare cases and to crash it, take houses, companies and critical services offline.

“The first thing to clarify is that this is not a net zero problem,” Chris Glover, supply company and energy manager at British Engineering Consultancy Buro Happold, to TNW. “The problem here is to manage supply and demand.”

The growing mismatch between the design of the network and its new energy mix is ​​now taking place. But that's no reason to beat the brakes of the energy transition, said Glover. Instead, he suggests that you double the energy storage, grid compensation technology and the infrastructure upgrades to support a more resilient system.

“Hunger of flexibility”

Spain and Portugal are not the first to face this challenge. A large power failure in 2016 left 850,000 south Australians without power. Critics, including Australia's Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, pointed To the ambitious shift of the state to renewable energies. Instead of withdrawing, South Australia leaned forward and invested in large batteries, so -called synchronous compressors (which imitate the stabilizing “inertia” of turbines with fossil fuels) and even more wind and solar. Last year, the state exhibited 75% of its electricity from renewable energies and has no further power failure since then. The IEA has described its progress as “remarkable”.

Alex Schoch, head of flexibility at Octopus Energy, believes that Spain could make a keyword from the success of South Australia. While the latter power failure was caused by a storm, “the grids of both countries had the right tools to recover from sudden shocks,” he continued LinkedIn. He Spain's Power System One “starved from flexibility”.

Before the blackout, the Spanish network ran to almost 80% wind and solar – an enormous performance for clean energy, but also a challenge for stability. Very little electricity came from steady sources such as gas or nuclear, which help to keep the network into harmony. In addition, Spain has almost no large-scale battery memory that gets in when the sun or wind falls unexpectedly.

Expert believe These factors played a key role in the comprehensive power failure on Monday. The fault was attributed to two separate network towers in the southwest of the country – the heart of Spanish solar energy production. With so few backup stream, the system may have difficulty reacting to these disorders quickly enough, which has led to cascading failures in the entire network.

If part of the Spanish power supply has suddenly decreased, the network would have had to be reduced quickly to keep everything in balance – for example by using batteries or other safety systems to smooth things, Glover explained. “No such steps seem to have been taken,” he said.

When the power generation drops, countries can often import electricity from neighbors. However, Spain and Portugal are largely cut off, and only a weak connection with France through the Pyrenees mountains. This makes them more vulnerable in the event of failures.

Although the exact cause of the power failure is still being examined, the disorder in which the Spanish network lost 15 GW of energy in just five seconds – serious doubts about the region's energy infrastructure. It could also serve as a strong warning for other countries.

Electrification puzzle

If more and more electric vehicles connect, heat pumps replace gas boilers and the factories switch to electrical power, the aging networks in Europe are increasingly feeling the burden. Between 2020 and 2050, the electricity requirement will increase to 80%. A large part of the infrastructure that carries this load was built decades ago. In order to achieve climate goals, the annual global network investment must double to $ 600 billion according to the International Energy Agency (IEA) by 2030 to 2030.

Engelaar believes that new technologies could help. “DIgital modeling can give [energy] Supply company granular insights into every centimeter of your networks and enable you to test your assets against potential threats and to determine weaknesses before it is too late. “Another software solution is the query that automatically adjusts the power consumption in real time.

Jacob Bro, partner of the Climate Tech VC company 2150, also emphasizes the power of decentralized energy solutions. This includes panels on the roof, house batteries and local wind farms, which create electricity closer to the area.

“We have to use flexible capacities closer to our houses and offices, on the edge of the network, and we need more intelligent networks and greater transparency,” he told TNW.

Overall, a complex image of fast progress is created that exceeds the preparation. The power failure was not a failure of renewable energies – it was a failure to keep up with them. If Europe wants a cleaner future, its networks have to catch up quickly.

“The investment in the Net-Null infrastructure is a central part of the solution, not the problem,” said Glover.

Greens on the right path to lose several MPs because the independent challenges complete and receive votes in federal elections

Greens suffer setbacks when the blue -green independent Allegra donors, Zoe Daniel, Monique Ryan and Zali Steggall see intensive campaigns of liberals, while Nicolette Boele leads in Bradfield

The voters have given the Greens a significant blow, with the secondary celebration on the route losing several MPs – including their party leader Adam Bandt – and in other voters they had hoped to win out of work, while several teal -independent people keep their seats with improved margins and keep up to date in order to win the seats previously held in the framework of the framework.

In the election night function of the Greens in Melbourne, the party representatives had largely coordinated from the broadcast election results, since the early results predicted that Max Chandler-Mather and Stephen Bates would lose their respective seats from Griffith and Brisbane.

And at Ryan's Brisbane seat, the future of Elizabeth Watson-Brown-Der with Chandler-Mather and Bates was their seats for the Greens won early results on a knife.

Peter Dutton has lost his own headquarters of Dickson, which he has held for the liberal party on a night of misery since 2001.

Dutton publicly spoke in Brisbane the choice and his own seat and said: “Tonight is not the night that we wanted for the liberal party or for our coalition or for our country.”

“We didn't do well enough during this campaign. Tonight is much obvious and I take full responsibility for it,” he said.

Pauline Hansons One Nation Party achieved more than 600,000 votes in the 2025 elections to increase the representation of the Senate.

With more than 50 percent of the votes, the party seems to have a positive momentum of 1.25 percent.

Hanson has not yet answered the results of a nation and the biggest question – as her daughter performed in the election – this evening.

Why did Labor do so well? Despite the hard attitude for renewable energies from Labor, the Aussie -Funds elections on May 3, 2025 were far from the election of climate change. Even Greens didn't talk much about climate change, they focused more on world events, the affordability of living space and their economic plans.

The Socialist Labor Party won because they gave the normal Australians a reason for them. They presented a vision of more job security and supported support from the government in the cost of living and the affordability of living space.

Just like Trump's business plan, to reduce inflation, living costs and energy costs with normal Americans, so that the socialist vision of the Australian Labor Party, subsidies and state -financed apartments for the needy that are connected to ordinary Australians.

The opposition leader Peter Dutton could not articulate a coherent competing vision that dealt with problems that were important to the undecided voters and could not explain why his vision would deliver better results. Dutons Out Out Touch campaign Missing, such as his attempt to overflow the incumbent with an emission reduction plan on the basis of state -financed nuclear power plants, fell flat, as this was poorly explained and the electorate has initiated – costs for the livelihood and the uncertainty of job uncertainties have controlled the list of most people in the list.

Prime Minister Albanese also successfully played the patriotism card, just like the Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at Canada's recent choice. Australia's Albanese made a big show to get up with the tariffs against Trump. Alban's appointment of a US ambassador who said many hateful things about Trump had played in this story of getting up towards Trump.

Dutton, on the other hand, did a weak last -minute effort instead of meeting this school yard to distance himself from President Trump, which probably saw more damage than benefits by alienating the legal voters, whose support he urgently needed.

The guide with the plan to solve problems with high priority won the choice. It does not matter whether the plan is incorrect if these defects remain unchallenged. Nobody else presented a better plan.

Ex-Man United Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Slams Scott Mctominay Switch

The former head coach of Manchester United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, criticized the club's decision to transfer Scott Mctominay to Napoli last summer and said: “How to sell Scott is a mystery to me.”

Solskjaer, who is now managing the Turkish League of Besiktas, succeeded José Mourinho as a United head coach in December 2018 and received the job four months later after winning 14 of his first 19 responsible games.

However, the team fought for Constance during the rest of Solskjaer's reign, and after the form of the team was acknowledged at the beginning of the 2021-22 season, the legendary former United striker was released on November 21.

The product of the United Academy Mctominay was one of the most trustworthy Lieutenants in Solskjaer during his time in Old Trafford, but the Scotland international was considered an excess for retirement last summer and came to Napoli in August.

“Scott and Fred together, they were guys who would put them on their hat every day to give 100%,” Sosskjaer told the BBC.

“How you can sell Scott is a mystery to me.”

McTominay has an outstanding debut season in Serie A and its eleven goals in 31 games have contributed to increasing Napoli's title debt. The Antonio Conte team is three points in front of the second -placed Inter Milan with three remaining games.

On Friday, Conte said that he believes that Mctominay was a rounder than when he was at United.

“He feels more complete and more expert and reaches an important stage in his career in which he has to decide on his direction. He never had a primary role in Man United while we gave him one,” Conte told reporters on Friday.

“He worked hard and now he is a complete player. His improvement was shared by the entire team. Otherwise it would be difficult to explain how we deserve 74 points.”

Solskjaer also expressed his support for another of his former players, Harry Maguire. The English international was appointed captain of United by Solskjaer in January 2020, but later replaced by Bruno Fernandes under Erik Ten Hag as a skipper.

Besiktas' boss said Maguire, Fernandes and Victor Lindelöf were the only United players who were to him after his United exit.

“For me, Harry [Maguire] Was always a leader and a fighter, “said Solskjaer.

“I was never in doubt when I signed him and he went into the door to be a captain for us.

“There is another captain in Bruno. The two are top people. I was so happy for you last night.

“These two and winners [Lindelöf] are probably the only ones that I have heard of the club since I left. You want the best for you. “

Solskjaer will be face to face with Mourinho when his fourth-placed Besiktas page pages on Saturday in Fenerbahce of the Portuguese manager.

David Ricks, CEO by Eli Lilly

CEO of Eli Lilly and Company David Ricks speaks on March 12, 2024 in New York City in the Economic Club of New York.

Eli Lilly On Thursday, CEO Dave Ricks said that the drug maker could help react to national security concerns regarding cheaper essential medication, since pharmaceutical-specific tolls occur.

The Trump government has opened an investigation of § 232, as the import of certain medication into the United States influences national security – a step that is seen as a prelude to initiation of tariffs for medicines. It is unclear what these taxes will look like and whether they are aimed at branded or older generics, the latter of which are largely produced abroad in countries such as India and China.

“If we bring this capacity back, we have the stock in an emergency, we have the offer – that is a valid thing,” said Ricks in an interview with CNBC and referred to these older medication. After reporting the winnings and 2025 guidelines that did not contain any estimated effects of the potential pharmaceutical tariffs in the first quarter.

He said national security concerns regarding these medication were “valid”.

But he added: “I think tariffs are the answer? I'm not so sure.”

“We would be happy to talk to this administration or national security guards about how we can react to such a crisis,” he said. “We have capacities that we can bring there, and we are happy to help the country when we are in need.”

Older generic medication accounts for around 90% of the drugs prescribed in the USA, which are of crucial importance for hospital care, including antibiotics and vasopressors or medication that increase blood pressure.

Ricks noticed that these essential drugs are “not easy to make, but they are cheap and they were driven from our country due to costs and other harmful guidelines”.

However, some health experts said CNBC that tariffs on generics that have far lower profit margins than branded medication could force some generics to leave the US market as a whole. This could lead to the lack of certain generics in the United States or worsen, such as: B. sterile injectable drugs that are usually used in hospitals.

Rick's comments come as a drug maker for the planned pharmaceutical tariffs of President Donald Trump, who aim to increase household production. These tariff threats are already fueling a new wave of US manufacturing investments from the pharmaceutical industry.

This includes Eli Lilly, who announced in February that there will be at least 27 billion US dollars for the construction of four new production locations in the USA

On Thursday, Ricks said that the tariffs may not be necessary to remodel the production of the industry after moving the industry.

“I think that the threat from tariffs already brings critical supply chains back to important industries, chips and pharmaceuticals,” said Ricks. “So we have to issue [tariffs?] I'm not so sure. “

He added that Eli Lilly wants to see permanent lower tax rates in the USA, especially 15% for domestic production. Ricks said that lower taxes caused many drugmakers to control “low-tax islands such as Ireland, Singapore and Switzerland, and that can come back if there is an economic incentive”.

This reflects the feeling of Pfizer -CEO Albert Bourla's comments on Tuesday. Although Bourla argued that the uncertainty about tariffs keeps the company from investing in the manufacture, research and development.
