DJI Power 1000 and Power 500 The Power 500 gets a 28% price cut this Black Friday at Amazon, down to $360, while the Power 1000 gets a 40% price cut and there's a $40 coupon, bringing the price to $379. Drones and action cameras share a critical feature: they're powered by rechargeable batteries. DJI, a leader in both drones and action cameras , is leveraging its extensive battery expertise to enter the competitive world of portable power stations. Introducing two models, the Power 1000 and Power 500, DJI is well-positioned to make a significant impact. Both units are designed for ultra-quiet operation, can be fully charged in just 70 minutes, and feature dual AC and USB-C outputs, catering to a variety of charging needs. While the power stations' features are impressive, both models also have something that will appeal exclusively to drone pilots. Also: I tested DJI's Avata 2 and it's the fastest, most immersive drone I've ever flown These power stations are equipped with the Power SDC fast charging function, designed to rapidly charge DJI drones. Using this function, batteries for the Mavic 3 series, Air 3, Inspire 3, and Matrice 30 series of drones can be charged from 10% to 95% in just 30 minutes, a game-changer for drone operators needing quick turnaround times. DJI Power 1000 The larger of the two, the Power 1000 , offers 1024Wh of power. It includes two AC output ports capable of handling continuous loads of 2200W and surge loads of 4400W. Additionally, it has two USB-C ports supporting 140W output, two USB-A ports, and SDC and SDC Lite ports for diverse connectivity options. This unit weighs 13 kg. DJI Power 500 For those needing a more compact option, DJI offers the Power 500 , a smaller unit that still packs a punch with 512Wh of power. The Power 500 features a similar array of ports as the Power 1000, although it only includes the SDC Lite version and lacks the full SDC port. The AC ports on the Power 500 are designed for continuous loads of 1000W and surge loads of 1600W, making it well-suited for less demanding applications. The USB-C ports provide a solid output of 100W each. This smaller unit weighs only 7.3 kg. To illustrate the practical applications of these power stations, let's look at what DJI says they can do in real-world scenarios. The Power 1000, with its 1024Wh capacity, can recharge a smartphone approximately 57 times or keep a car refrigerator running for about 19 hours. This makes it an excellent choice for extended outdoor activities or emergencies where power reliability is crucial. On the other hand, the smaller Power 500, with its 512Wh capacity, can manage about 28 smartphone recharges or sustain a car refrigerator for just under 10 hours. While it offers less endurance than the Power 1000, it's still quite capable for day trips, shorter outings, or as a backup power source for smaller devices and appliances. Also: The best portable power stations you can buy: Expert tested These capabilities make both models versatile tools for a variety of power needs, from daily convenience to critical support in off-grid situations. Notably, DJI has opted for the safe and durable LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) battery technology in both models. These batteries offer up to 3,000 recharge cycles before reaching the end of their useful lives. "Over the past several years we've seen travelers and content creators increasingly turn to DJI drones and handheld cameras, to capture and share their experiences, said Christina Zhang, senior director of corporate strategy at DJI. "These users have a demand for fast-charging, worry-free, sustainable power consumption and today we're glad we can address this with the new DJI portable power stations." The Power 1000 is available for $699 , while the Power 500 is $499 . When will these deals expire?

Eversource Energy stock underperforms Thursday when compared to competitors

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — There's more than just school pride and bragging rights to all that bellyaching over who might be in and who might be out of college football 's first 12-team playoff. Try the more than $115 million that will be spread across the conferences at the end of the season, all depending on who gets in and which teams go the farthest. According to the College Football Playoff website , the 12 teams simply making the bracket earn their conferences $4 million each. Another $4 million goes to conferences whose teams get into the quarterfinals. Then, there's $6 million more for teams that make the semifinals and another $6 million for those who play for the title. Most of this bonanza comes courtesy of ESPN, which is forking over $1.3 billion a year to televise the new postseason. A lot of that money is already earmarked — more goes to the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference than the Big 12 or Atlantic Coast — but a lot is up for grabs in the 11 games that will play out between the opening round on Dec. 20 and the final on Jan. 20. In all, the teams that make the title game will bring $20 million to their conferences, all of which distribute that money, along with billions in TV revenue and other sources, in different ways. In fiscal 2022-23, the Big Ten, for instance, reported revenue of nearly $880 million and distributed about $60.5 million to most of its members. The massive stakes might help explain the unabashed lobbying coming from some corners of the football world, as the tension grows in advance of Sunday's final rankings, which will set the bracket. Earlier this week, Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark lit into the selection committee, which doesn't have a single team higher than 15 in the rankings. That does two things: It positions the Big 12 as a one-bid league, and also threatens to makes its champion — either Arizona State or Iowa State — the fifth-best among conference titlists that get automatic bids. Only the top four of those get byes, which could cost the Big 12 a spot in the quarterfinals — or $4 million. “The committee continues to show time and time again that they are paying attention to logos versus resumes,” Yormark said this week, while slamming the idea of teams with two losses in his conference being ranked worse than teams with three in the SEC. The ACC is also staring at a one-bid season with only No. 8 SMU inside the cut line of this week's projected bracket. Miami's loss last week all but bumped the Hurricanes out of the playoffs, a snub that ACC commissioner Jim Phillips said left him “incredibly shocked and disappointed." “As we look ahead to the final rankings, we hope the committee will reconsider and put a deserving Miami in the field," Phillips said in a statement. The lobbying and bickering filters down to the campuses that feel the impact. And, of course, to social media. One of the most entertaining episodes came earlier this week when athletic directors at Iowa State and SMU went back and forth about whose team was more deserving. There are a few stray millions that the selection committee cannot really influence, including a $3 million payment to conferences that make the playoff. In a reminder that all these kids are going to school, after all, the conferences get $300,000 per football team that meets academic requirements to participate in the postseason.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Secret Service chief told lawmakers on Capitol Hill Thursday that “much-needed reform” and accountability measures are underway in the wake of the agency’s “abject failure” on July 13, when a 20-year-old gunman opened fire at a Butler County rally in one of two attempts on President-elect Donald Trump’s life during a turbulent campaign season. “I recognize we did not meet the expectations of the American public, Congress and our protectees,” testified Ronald Rowe, the Secret Service’s acting director, in the final hearing of the House task force investigating the assassination attempts, which also included a thwarted attempt at Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Sept. 15. “The sniper ... the lone-wolf gunman, must be lucky once. The Secret Service must be perfect every time.” Rowe told the bipartisan 13-member panel that since taking over for Kimberly Cheatle, who resigned shortly after the Butler shooting, he has implemented a series of practical reforms. These include bolstering training and advance team security checks, streamlining communications, acquiring and using more equipment such as drones and ballistic counter measures, and improving hiring and retention to relieve an overworked agency grappling with a heightened threat environment. He also pledged to “be an agent of change” when it comes to the Secret Service’s culture — promising to find and cultivate strong leaders earlier in their careers, to “challenge previous assumptions” and to foster a “shared collective responsibility” that empowers agents and state and local partners at every level to raise security concerns or questions. “Our agency isn’t defined by one failure,” he said, but by learning from mistakes and answering “a call to duty with unwavering resolve.” While several members of the panel on both sides of the aisle, including chairman Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Butler, thanked Rowe for his service and leadership over the last few months, the director faced some pointed questioning and criticism from a few members who accused the agency of negligence and mismanagement. The hearing devolved into a shouting match when Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, who implied that Rowe should have responded more quickly as deputy director following the Butler shooting, asked Rowe about security during a 9/11 memorial ceremony this year. Fallon appeared to suggest potential security mishaps at the 9/11 memorial, and Rowe, who was a first responder at Ground Zero after the terrorist attacks, took extreme offense and accused Fallon of being “out of line” and using the 3,000-plus victims for politics. The two men then yelled and pointed at each other for nearly two full minutes until Rep. Glenn Ivey, D-Md., pleaded with the chairman to shut the pair up as Fallon’s clock for questioning ran out. Rowe told Kelly the most glaring failure on July 13 was the “failure to recognize the significance of the AGR building,” from where Bethel Park gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire from a roof within range of Trump’s stage. The Secret Service has said it failed to have an adequate presence in the area — and should have cordoned it off entirely — despite advance team concerns that did not make it up the chain of command or were not acted on. The preparation and handling of the Trump rally “underscored critical gaps in Secret Service operations,” Rowe acknowledged. “Let me be clear: there will be accountability and that accountability is occurring,” he said, noting the due process involved takes time and frustrates him. “But it is essential that we recognize the gravity of our failure.” Kelly, who was at the July rally and whose hometown is Butler, said the events that day and the investigations since “bring out the best of us and the worst of us,” describing the experience as “very emotional” for everyone involved. He said that many Americans “come up with conspiracy theories because they don’t get answers when they need it,” and the task force’s work has been to provide those answers and help prevent future failures. “We are suffering from a lack of trust and faith in our government,” he said. “We know you had questions. We got you the answers.” The task force earlier this year said it found security failures on three key fronts: the Secret Service failed to adequately plan for the Butler rally, creating confusion among local law enforcement partners; public access to the site less than 150 yards from the stage was poorly managed; and communications breakdowns — with agencies struggling with heavy radio traffic and unable to fully communicate across various channels — led to “information in a moment of crisis (going) through radio, texts and phone calls, way too slowly,” according to Kelly. Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., said the assassination attempts marked a “need for significant reform” at the tactical level and “agency-wide,” noting the Butler shooting represented the closest a president’s been to being killed since then-President Ronald Reagan was shot while returning to his limousine outside the Washington Hilton in 1981. Green urged Rowe to find a way to instill greater urgency and solid leadership across the agency. “Your guys showed up that day and didn’t give a shit,” he said. “There was apathy and complacency, period. This is a leadership issue, a command climate issue, a culture issue.” Rowe pledged to review how the agency promotes its agents, with the aim of improving training and identifying potential strong leaders early on as opposed to simply promoting agents with the most years under the belts. A detailed report on the security failures, and recommendations by the task force, is coming within the next day or two, according to Kelly and the panel’s top Democrat, Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado. Since its inception in July following House approval and appointments made by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., the task force reviewed almost 20,000 documents, interviewed hundreds of personnel from federal, state and local agencies, conducted site visits in Pennsylvania and Florida, and reviewed physical evidence from the assassination attempts at FBI Quantico. But Crow said the FBI did not provide key information, including records and interview transcripts, related to Crooks and his activities leading up to the shooting. “If their intent was to slow walk us ... they are sorely mistaken,” Crow said of the FBI and Justice Department, noting several members would return in the next Congress. “America deserves to know what happened with Mr. Crooks ... who he was talking to ... that is an important part of the story.” Asked by the Post-Gazette what reason the FBI and Justice Department gave for denying the task force’s requests for certain records, the congressman said the agencies claim the information cannot be shared pending an active criminal investigation. “We completely disagree with that,” Crow said. “We’re the first branch, and we have the authority to conduct oversight over all of government. Constitutionally we have that authority. We have members on the Intelligence Committee ... defense committees ... members who are regularly briefed and oversee our nation’s most sensitive secrets. So you cannot tell me that we can’t come up with a process to get information about an ongoing investigation and to treat that information properly and securely in a manner that’s consistent with their needs.” The FBI did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. In September, the FBI told the Post-Gazette that, “any suggestion the FBI is interfering with congressional efforts to look into the attempted assassination which took place in Butler, Pennsylvania, is inaccurate and unfounded.” “The FBI has been working closely with our law enforcement partners to conduct a thorough investigation into the shooting, and we have followed normal procedures in the handling of the crime scene and evidence,” the agency said at the time. “The FBI continues its painstaking work on the investigation to develop as complete a picture as possible of what led to the shooting, and we remain committed to maximum transparency as we continue to brief Congress and publish information for the public regarding the ongoing investigation.”By DEVNA BOSE One of the country’s largest health insurers reversed a change in policy Thursday after widespread outcry, saying it would not tie payments in some states to the length of time a patient went under anesthesia. Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield said in a statement that its decision to backpedal resulted from “significant widespread misinformation” about the policy. “To be clear, it never was and never will be the policy of Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield to not pay for medically necessary anesthesia services,” the statement said. “The proposed update to the policy was only designed to clarify the appropriateness of anesthesia consistent with well-established clinical guidelines.” Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield would have used “physician work time values,” which is published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, as the metric for anesthesia limits; maternity patients and patients under the age of 22 were exempt. But Dr. Jonathan Gal, economics committee chair of the American Society for Anesthesiologists, said it’s unclear how CMS derives those values. In mid-November, the American Society for Anesthesiologists called on Anthem to “reverse the proposal immediately,” saying in a news release that the policy would have taken effect in February in New York, Connecticut and Missouri. It’s not clear how many states in total would have been affected, as notices also were posted in Virginia and Colorado . People across the country registered their concerns and complaints on social media, and encouraged people in affected states to call their legislators. Some people noted that the policy could prevent patients from getting overcharged. Gal said the policy change would have been unprecedented, ignored the “nuanced, unpredictable human element” of surgery and was a clear “money grab.” “It’s incomprehensible how a health insurance company could so blatantly continue to prioritize their profits over safe patient care,” he said. “If Anthem is, in fact, rescinding the policy, we’re delighted that they came to their senses.” Prior to Anthem’s announcement Thursday, Connecticut comptroller Sean Scanlon said the “concerning” policy wouldn’t affect the state after conversations with the insurance company. And New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said in an emailed statement Thursday that her office had also successfully intervened. The insurance giant’s policy change came one day after the CEO of UnitedHealthcare , another major insurance company, was shot and killed in New York City.China's AIMA brand electric motorbike is now in BangladeshNo. 24 Illinois stuns Rutgers on Bryant's 40-yard TD reception with 4 seconds left

The Los Angeles Chargers have been fined multiple times by the NFL this season for player misconduct. On Saturday, star defensive back Derwin James was fined $16,883 for a horse collar tackle on Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown. This is not the first time James has been fined for a dangerous play. Earlier this year, he was suspended for one game due to repeated hits to the head of opponents. Chargers Add Two New Fines After Bengals Game After that suspension, James vowed not to change his aggressive style of play; “No, it ain’t going to change s—,” James said, according to ESPN’s Kris Rhim . “It’s definitely not going to change nothing. Like I said, I’m just going to go lower. I’m not going to change.” Additionally, defensive tackle Otito Ogbonnia was fined $5,915 for roughing the passer on Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, which included using his entire body weight during the play. The Chargers have a history of disciplinary issues, with Poona Ford, Khalil Mack and Denzel Perryman also receiving fines earlier in the season. The team will need to address this issue and ensure that their players avoid unnecessary penalties in the future.

The planet’s richest person grew much richer as shares of the Musk-led publicly traded electric vehicle company Tesla soared after Donald Trump's win in the US election. Musk was the biggest supporter of Trump during the election campaign, even taking part in some of his rallies. Assembly Election Results Election Results 2024 Live Updates Maharashtra Assembly Election Results 2024 Live Updates Jharkhand Assembly Election Results 2024 Live Updates He has been appointed chair of the new “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), where he will work alongside Vivek Ramaswamy. According to Forbes, the net worth of Elon Musk was a record $321.7 billion at market close Friday, November 22, getting a $7 billion boost as Tesla stock climbed 3.8% to a new 3.5-year closing high of $352.56 per share. That eclipses the previous high of $320.3 billion set on November 5, 2021 amid Tesla’s pandemic era surge. Musk's net worth is now more than $80 billion richer than the next wealthiest person, his friend and Oracle chairman Larry Ellison at $235 billion. Much of Musk's fortune comes from his 13% stake in Tesla worth $145 billion, with another 9% equity award in the company pending an appeal in Delaware court (Forbes discounts the value of the award by 50% in its valuation of Musk wealth). Elon Musk's net worth now $70 billion higher The substantial valuation of Musk's AI company xAI , valued at $50 billion, has further contributed to his wealth. SpaceX , valued at $210 billion, also plays a significant role in Musk's overall net worth. With this, Musk's fortune is now about $70 billion larger than it was on Election Day as Tesla shares surged 40% as Wall Street bought into what should be a more friendly regulatory environment under Trump for Tesla, especially for its self-driving vehicles, as per Forbes. How Elon Musk became the richest person again Elon Musk's close ties with president elect Donald Trump have fuelled investor confidence. Wall Street analysts view the incoming administration's anticipated deregulation efforts as a significant advantage for Tesla, particularly for its Full Self-Driving initiatives, which have faced regulatory scrutiny. The other primary source of Musk's fortune is his 42% stake in SpaceX, which was valued at $210 billion in a June tender offer, putting his stake in the private aerospace and satellite communications company at $88 billion. Speculation around SpaceX's upcoming funding round, which could value the company at $250 billion, suggests that Musk's net worth might climb even higher, potentially adding $18 billion to his fortune. There's still some more way to go However, despite this historic rise in fortune, there still may be some more way to go as Tesla shares still remain about 14 per cent below their all-time high from late 2021.
