Trump autorizon CIA-n për operacione në Venezuelë

Presidenti amerikan, Donald Trump konfirmoi se ai ka autorizuar Agjencinë Qendrore të Inteligjencës (CIA) për të kryer operacione të fshehta në Venezuelë. Ky njoftim i bërë më 15 tetor shënon një përshkallëzim në përpjekjet e Uashingtonit për t’i bërë presion Qeverisë së presidentit venezuelas, Nicolas Maduro. The New York Times fillimisht raportoi për direktivën e klasifikuar, duke cituar zyrtarë amerikanë që kishin informacione për këtë vendim, duke thënë se strategjia e administratës së Trumpit për Venezuelën synon rrëzimin e Maduros nga pushteti. Administrata ka ofruar 50 milionë dollarë shpërblim për informacion që çon në arrestimin dhe dënimin e tij për akuza të trafikut të drogës. Sipas The New York Times, autoriteti i ri t’i lejojë CIA-s të kryejë operacione vdekjeprurëse në Venezuelë dhe të zhvillojë një sërë operacionesh në Karaibe. I pyetur pse e autorizoi CIA-n të operojë në Venezuelë, Trump u tha gazetarëve se arsyet për këtë vendim kishin të bënin me migrimin e venezuelasve drejt SHBA-së dhe trafiku i drogës. “E autorizova për dy arsye”, tha Trump. “Së pari, ata i kanë zbrazur burgjet e tyre në SHBA… ata erdhën përmes kufirit. Ata erdhën sepse ne kishim një kufi të hapur”, tha ai për gazetarët në Zyrën Ovale. “Dhe, arsyeja tjetër janë drogat”, shtoi udhëheqësi amerikan.

Safest Crypto cloud mining apps with free bonus: US beginners should try

Introduction: The rise of Cloud Mining Apps in 2025 Cryptocurrency has matured in the United States, but one challenge still remains for everyday users—how to earn digital assets without investing thousands of dollars in complex mining rigs. The answer for many has been cloud mining apps, which allow users to rent computing power and receive daily payouts directly in Bitcoin or other coins. For beginners, the main concern is safety: not all apps are created equal, and some platforms lack transparency. This article explores the safest options for U.S. users, highlighting apps that combine compliance, simplicity, and even free bonuses to get started. Why safety comes first in Cloud Mining Mining apps have grown popular, but history shows that scams and short-lived operations have been a recurring issue. Three main factors determine safety: Legal registration and compliance – Platforms that disclose corporate details, licenses, or country of incorporation. Transparent mining operations – Publicly available details about rigs, energy sources, and payout systems. User protection policies – Risk warnings, accessible support, and options for withdrawal without hidden restrictions. When choosing a mining app in 2025, beginners should prioritize platforms that meet these standards before looking at profit potential. Magicrypto: A legally registered platform with free Bonus One of the standout names in the U.S. market is Magicrypto, a platform that has attracted attention for combining safety with ease of use. Registered in Australia and compliant with local financial regulations, Magicrypto sets itself apart by: Providing a $100 free signup bonus for new users. Publishing detailed rig information, including daily payouts and contract terms. Offering beginner-friendly plans with low entry points, making it accessible for U.S. users who want to try cloud mining without major upfront risk. Unlike many competitors, Magicrypto is transparent about mining farms and payout structures. The platform also stresses compliance, making it appealing to U.S. beginners worried about legality. Competitors worth considering in 2025 To provide a balanced picture, let’s examine some other mining apps that are popular among U.S. users: StormGain – A crypto exchange that doubles as a mining app. While it markets itself as “free mining,” returns are smaller and depend heavily on user activity on the exchange. Its credibility comes from being an established exchange with a large global user base. NiceHash – Known for its large mining marketplace where users can buy and sell hash power. It has a strong reputation but is more suitable for intermediate users who understand market pricing and may find the interface overwhelming. ECOS Mining – A legally registered operation in Armenia’s Free Economic Zone. Offers app-based cloud mining, clear contracts, and integrations with multiple coins, though pricing can be higher compared to entry-level platforms. Each of these competitors has strengths, but when measured against Magicrypto’s free bonus and U.S.-friendly compliance features, beginners may find Magicrypto the simpler and safer entry point. What beginners should look for in a Cloud Mining app When downloading or signing up for a mining app in 2025, here are the essentials: Clarity of plans – Look for exact numbers (daily payouts, contract length, fees). Withdrawal terms – Check if there’s a minimum withdrawal and whether it’s realistic for small users. Mobile accessibility – Apps should work smoothly on both iOS and Android with real-time mining stats. Support channels – Beginner-friendly platforms should offer live chat or responsive email support. By running through this checklist, users can quickly separate legitimate platforms from risky or vague ones. How free bonuses change the game The concept of free bonuses is not new in fintech, but in crypto mining, it provides beginners with a unique advantage. Magicrypto’s $100 trial bonus is a prime example: it allows users to test daily payouts without committing personal funds. For U.S. users, this acts as a risk-free trial period. Competitors like StormGain also market free mining, but the payouts there are usually much smaller compared to Magicrypto’s structured trial. Step-by-step guide for beginners Here’s how a U.S. user can safely get started with a mining app: Research the platform – Check company registration and user reviews. Claim the bonus – Sign up and activate the free bonus to test payout systems. Monitor daily returns – Use the app’s dashboard to track consistency. Upgrade when ready – If satisfied, invest in a small plan to scale earnings. Stay diversified – Don’t rely on one app alone; test 2–3 platforms for balance. This process minimizes risk while giving beginners hands-on learning experience. Frequently asked questions Q1: Is it legal to mine Bitcoin through apps in the U.S.?Yes, cloud mining apps are legal as long as the platform itself is compliant and registered. The U.S. does not ban mining but does require crypto earnings to be reported for taxes. Q2: How much can I realistically earn daily?Beginners should expect modest returns. With bonuses like Magicrypto’s $100 trial, earnings may cover a few dollars per day. Scaling up requires higher investments. Q3: Can I withdraw bonus-based earnings?Yes, but withdrawal terms vary. Magicrypto, for instance, allows withdrawals after reaching a minimum threshold, which can be achieved with steady usage. Conclusion: The safest path for U.S. beginners For U.S. beginners in 2025, the cryptocurrency mining app market presents both opportunities and risks. Safety should always be the primary consideration, with legal registration, transparency, and clear terms serving as the guiding criteria. Among the available apps, Magicrypto stands out for offering a free bonus, precise rig details, and legal compliance, making it an ideal choice for first-time users. Competitors like NiceHash, StormGain, and ECOS offer alternatives, but they often require more technical knowledge or larger investments. By starting small, claiming bonuses, and prioritizing safe platforms, beginners can step confidently into cloud mining—without the headaches of hardware or the dangers of unverified apps.

Packers pledge to be ready for Cards QB -- whoever that may be

Being unsure about their opponent's starting quarterback for much of the week heaps "a little bit more on our players' plate," Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur finds. Still, LaFleur feels the Packers are up to the challenge whether it's Kyler Murray or Jacoby Brissett leading the host Arizona Cardinals when the teams face off in Glendale on Sunday. "That's just the situation," LaFleur said, "and that's what we've got to do." NFC North-leading Green Bay (3-1-1) begins a two-game road trip against a Cardinals team that's banged up from injuries and trying to recover from a series of narrow defeats. Arizona (2-4) has lost four straight games, falling by a combined nine points. The most recent loss was also the most "lopsided" over that span as the host Indianapolis Colts outscored the Cardinals 14-3 in the fourth quarter to win 31-27 last Sunday. Murray (foot) missed a game for the first time since 2023. On Wednesday, coach Jonathan Gannon merely responded, "Yes," to a question asking about Murray's injury progression. "Make sure that he's healthy enough to play," Gannon said. "We'll progress him along here this week and see where he's at." Brissett was 27 of 44 through the air for 320 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in a game in which he had to build a rapport with many targets. Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion protocol) left the game in the second quarter. Tight end Travis Vokolek, who played a larger role on special teams, suffered a season-ending neck injury during a first-quarter kickoff. Defensive lineman Darius Robinson, who missed the past two games with a chest injury, returned to practice for Arizona this week. Gannon said he and his staff aren't aiming to make drastic changes during the skid. "If you want to turn it around with a lot of football left," he said, "you got to find solutions and you got to play better." The Packers are seeking their first road victory. They stumbled in the fourth quarter of a 13-10 loss at Cleveland in Week 3 and tied the host Dallas Cowboys in overtime the following week. Running back Josh Jacobs said he is "kind of getting through" the illness he played through while scoring two touchdowns in last week's 27-18 win against Cincinnati. Linebacker Lukas Van Ness didn't practice Wednesday after sustaining a foot injury against the Bengals. "We haven't won on the road either, so we've got to do a good job of preparing and getting ready to play our best ball," LaFleur said. "I don't think we've played a complete game up to date. We've had moments in each phase that have been really good, but to do it collectively for four quarters, I don't think we've really done that. And we're going to need to do that against a really strong football team." Packers quarterback Jordan Love has thrown for a touchdown in each game this season but has been intercepted in two of the past three. Green Bay enters with a two-game winning streak in the series against Arizona and a 46-24-4 edge in the overall series. The Packers have won nine of 12 since the Cardinals franchise relocated west from St. Louis after the 1987 season. The Packers have won 11 straight against NFC West competition.

Finlanda do t’i bashkohet nismës së NATO-s për të blerë armë amerikane për Ukrainën

Finlanda do të marrë pjesë në iniciativën e NATO-s për të blerë armë amerikane për Ukrainën, raportoi transmetuesi publik finlandez YLE. Ministri finlandez i Mbrojtjes, Antti Hakkanen tha se Helsinki do t’i bashkohet programit të aleancës Listës së Kërkesave të Prioritizuara për Ukrainën (PURL), sipas të cilit anëtarët e NATO-s blejnë armë të prodhuara në SHBA bazuar në kërkesat e Ukrainës. “Ne e shohim si thelbësore që Ukraina të marrë armë kritike nga SHBA-të,” u tha Hakkanen gazetarëve në Bruksel, ku ministrat e Mbrojtjes së NATO-s po mbajnë një takim. Çdo paketë armësh PURL thuhet se vlerësohet në afërsisht 500 milionë dollarë. Megjithatë, Hakkanen nuk zbuloi shumën që Finlanda do të kontribuonte financiarisht në iniciativë. Ai theksoi se armët me rreze të gjatë veprimi janë jetike për Ukrainën dhe do të kishin “ndikim të qartë” në luftë, duke nënvizuar nevojën që vendet perëndimore të rrisin mbështetjen ushtarake dhe të shtrëngojnë sanksionet ekonomike kundër Rusisë. “Është e vetmja mënyrë për të arritur paqen, nëse është ajo që duam vërtet”, tha ai. NATO e prezantoi iniciativën PURL në korrik, pasi presidenti i SHBA-së, Donald Trump pezulloi përkohësisht ndihmën ushtarake për Ukrainën, duke akuzuar aleatët se nuk po e ndajnë barrën.

KQ203 changes call sign to RAO001 as Raila Odinga’s body enters Kenyan airspace

NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 16 — The Kenya Airways flight ferrying the body of former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga from India has officially changed its call sign from KQ203 to RAO001 as it entered Kenyan airspace Thursday morning — a symbolic gesture of respect for the departed opposition icon. The aircraft, which departed Kochi early Thursday, is expected to touch down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) at 9.30 am, where it will be received by President William Ruto, members of the Odinga family, and senior government officials. The call sign “RAO001” — derived from Odinga’s initials and the presidential-style numeric designation — is being used exclusively for this flight to honor his legacy as a statesman and symbol of Kenya’s democratic struggle. Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, co-chair of the National Funeral Committee, on Wednesday evening confirmed that the burial will take place on Sunday at the Odinga family home in Bondo, Siaya County, following an agreement to extend the late leader’s wish to be laid to rest within 72 hours of his death. Kindiki said the government was working closely with the Odinga family and the ODM party “to ensure a dignified farewell that honors both his personal wishes and his national stature.” Following arrival in Nairobi, the body will be taken to Parliament Buildings for public viewing from 12 noon to 5 pm, before being transferred to Lee Funeral Home. Friday State Funeral A state funeral service will be held on Friday at Nyayo National Stadium, to be attended by local and international dignitaries, after which the body will be moved to the Odinga family’s Karen residence for an overnight vigil. On Saturday, the body will be flown to Kisumu, where members of the public will view it at Moi Stadium from 9 am to 3 pm, before it is transported by road to Bondo for a final vigil ahead of Sunday’s burial. Kindiki appealed for peace and unity during the mourning period, urging Kenyans to emulate Odinga’s message of tolerance and national cohesion. “This is a solemn moment in our nation’s history,” he said. “We will give the Right Honourable Raila Amolo Odinga a farewell befitting a statesman who defined our democratic journey.” President Ruto declared seven days of national mourning, with flags flying at half-mast across the country and in all Kenyan missions abroad.

Shkencëtarët zbulojnë material të ri që mund të revolucionarizojë energjinë diellore

Shkencëtarët e Universitetit të Kembrixh kanë bërë përparim që mund të revolucionarizojë energjinë diellore, duke zbuluar një mënyrë të re për ta kthyer dritën në energji elektrike duke përdorur një material të vetëm, të lehtë, duke i bërë potencialisht panelet diellore më të lira, më efikase dhe më të lehta për t’u prodhuar. Botuar nga “Science Daily” të mërkurën, studimi prezanton një metodë shumë efikase për kapjen e dritës dhe shndërrimin e saj në energji elektrike. Ky inovacion mund të ndryshojë jo vetëm teknologjinë diellore, por edhe elektronikën, pasi lejon që i gjithë procesi të ndodhë brenda një materiali të vetëm. Hulumtimi përqendrohet në një material organik të quajtur P3TTM, i cili ka një elektron të vetëm të paçiftuar duke i dhënë atij veti unike. “Kjo është magjia e vërtetë”, tha Biwen Li, studiuesi kryesor në Laboratorin Cavendish. Në shumicën e materialeve organike, elektronet zakonisht formojnë çifte dhe mbeten të izoluara nga molekulat fqinje. Kur molekulat P3TTM janë afër njëra-tjetrës, elektronet e tyre të vetme bashkëveprojnë dhe rreshtohen në një model të veçantë. Drita mund ta bëjë një elektron të kërcejë në një molekulë aty pranë, duke krijuar ngarkesa që prodhojnë energji elektrike. Një qelizë diellore e hollë P3TTM e shndërroi pothuajse çdo grimcë drite në energji elektrike, duke punuar shumë me efikasitet duke përdorur vetëm një material. Energjia e vogël e nevojshme për këtë, e quajtur “Hubbard U”, është kostoja e të paturit të dy elektroneve në një molekulë. Dr. Petri Murto projektoi molekula që kontrollojnë mënyrën se si ato bashkëveprojnë dhe energjinë e nevojshme për ndarjen e ngarkesës nëpërmjet fizikës Mott-Hubbard. Ky përparim mund të lejojë që qelizat diellore të bëhen nga një material i vetëm, me kosto të ulët dhe i lehtë. Zbulimi është historikisht i rëndësishëm, duke përkuar me 120-vjetorin e lindjes së Sir Nevill Mott, puna e të cilit hodhi themelet për fizikën moderne të materies së kondensuar. “Ndihet sikur po mbyllet një rreth i plotë”, tha prof. Richard Friend. “Njohuritë e Mott-it ishin themelore për karrierën time dhe për kuptimin tonë të gjysmëpërçuesve. Të shohësh tani këto rregulla të thella mekanike kuantike që manifestohen në një klasë krejtësisht të re të materialeve organike dhe t’i shfrytëzosh ato për mbledhjen e dritës, është vërtet e veçantë”, shtoi ai. “Ne nuk po përmirësojmë vetëm dizajnet e vjetra”, tha prof. Hugo Bronstein i cili shtoi se “Ne po shkruajmë një kapitull të ri në librin shkollor, duke treguar se materialet organike janë në gjendje të gjenerojnë ngarkesa vetë”

Petrobras puts Halliburton on completion duty at Santos Basin fields

Brazil’s state-owned energy giant Petrobras has awarded multiple contracts to U.S.-headquartered oilfield services player Halliburton to provide completion and stimulation services across its deepwater fields offshore Brazil. Under the contracts, which are expected to start in 2026, Halliburton is set to provide vessel stimulation, intelligent completions, and safety valves in Brazil’s pre-salt fields operated by Petrobras. “Halliburton’s engineered stimulation solutions strengthen the collaboration with Petrobras. These awards demonstrate our longstanding relationship in Brazil and support our global strategy to improve asset value and safety through our completions services,” said Shawn Stasiuk, Senior Vice President, Halliburton Completion and Production division. As explained by Halliburton, its SmartWell intelligent completion technology will be used in the Búzios field to enable real-time reservoir management and actionable insights to optimize production. Additionally, the safety and efficiency of operations at the Sépia and Atapu fields will be improved with the EcoStar electric tubing retrievable safety valves (eTRSV). Furthermore, Halliburton’s Stim Star Brasil, tailored for Petrobras activity, will deliver stimulation services that focus on reservoir productivity and improve asset performance. The Búzios field, situated about 180 kilometers off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, is considered the world’s largest deepwater field. It reached a record of 800 thousand barrels of oil produced daily in late February. The milestone followed the arrival of the sixth floating production, storage, and offloading unit (FPSO) at the field, Almirante Tamandaré, earlier that month. The vessel joined five other platforms: P-74, P-75, P-76, P-77, and Almirante Barroso. The sailaway ceremony for what will be the field’s seventh FPSO was held in late June. The Atapu field has been producing since 2020 through the FPSO P-70, with a production capacity of 150,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd). The second development phase, Atapu-2, will entail a new-built FPSO of 225,000 bopd capacity. The Sépia field has been producing since 2021 through the FPSO Carioca, with a production capacity of 180,000 bopd. Its second development phase, Sépia-2, will also see the addition of a new-built FPSO of 225,000 bopd capacity.
