A boy in central China dreamed of making his own silk quilt, prompting his parents to buy 10,000 silkworm eggs to nurture his curiosity. In May, a mother surnamed Ruan from Wuhan, Hubei province, revealed online that her family was raising silkworms to help realise her six-year-old son’s unusual dream. Ruan told the mainland outlet Chengshi Interactive that the idea came during the silkworm-rearing season. The optimal window generally runs from May to October.

ELEKTROS Inc. - Publicly Traded (Ticker Symbol:ELEK) WEST PALM BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire / May 23, 2026 / ELEKTROS continues focusing on hard rock lithium exploration and development opportunities in Sierra Leone, Africa, positioning the Company within one of the world's most strategically important supply chains supporting electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, and industrial electrification. The importance of lithium to the future of transportation and clean energy has been repeatedly highlighted by industry leaders worldwide. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, previously stated: "It is definitely true that the fundamental enabling technology for electric cars is lithium-ion as a cell chemistry technology. In the absence of that, I don't think it's possible to make an electric car that is competitive with a gasoline car." In addition, Musk has publicly emphasized the importance of expanding charging infrastructure and improving charging efficiency to support mass EV adoption globally. In parallel with its lithium initiatives, ELEKTROS holds United States Patent No. 12,522,100 B1 related to advanced electric vehicle charging technology designed to significantly reduce charging times and improve charging efficiency for EV users globally. The Company believes that fast-charging infrastructure may become one of the defining components of the next generation EV ecosystem as consumers increasingly demand reduced charging times, improved convenience, and enhanced vehicle usability. ELEKTROS further announced that on May 5, 2026, the Company delivered a cease-and-desist notice regarding activities involving a major global automotive manufacturer whose identity the Company has elected not to publicly disclose at this time concerning matters related to potential infringement involving ELEKTROS' patented charging technology. Management stated that the protection of shareholder value and the defense of intellectual property rights remain core priorities. The Company indicated t...

State-Sponsored Suicide Authored by MN Gordon via dollarcollapse.com "A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within." - Will and Ariel Durant, The Story Of Civilization Enemy Within How does a superpower die? Does it come from the blinding kill shot of a hypersonic missile streaking through the sky? Or, perhaps, a rogue cyberattack that mortally destroys the national power grid? Will the end of America come with foreign tanks rolling through New York or a massive, coordinated amphibious attack on Los Angeles? These dramatic scenarios make for captivating conjecture. But they're highly unlikely. If you look at the autopsy reports of the world's greatest empires, the ultimate cause of death is rarely a sudden, overwhelming external blow. Long before the barbarians breached the gates of Rome, the Roman denarius had been systematically devalued into a glorified copper token to fund a bloated bureaucracy. This was characterized by widespread domestic corruption and endless military expansion. So, too, long before the British Empire reluctantly packed up its global flags, it realized the staggering cost of multiple wars had left it financially bankrupt, structurally hollowed out, and entirely dependent on American loans. Great civilizations don't usually get slaughtered by their rivals. They commit slow, sophisticated, economically optimized suicide. As we move through 2026, the United States is following a well-worn, dangerous path. But it's traversing it at a speed and scale that would leave ancient Rome in the dust. The reality that no politician will publicly admit is that America's out-of-control federal spending and its monstrous, multi-trillion-dollar financial system are doing far more structural damage to the country's long-term survival than any foreign adversary ever could. By burying the nation in unpayable debt, Congress is willingly destroying America from the inside. Hence, the greatest threat to our future lie...

A heatwave is expected to officially be declared for parts of the UK on Sunday as a spell of unusual May heat intensifies. A temperature of 30.5C was recorded at Frittenden in Kent on Saturday - the highest of the year so far.

Key Points Broadcom is winning in two ways at once -- custom AI chip sales surged 140% in Q1, while data-center networking revenue jumped 60%. Unlike cash-hungry AI peers, Broadcom has 77% gross margins, which have fueled a 15-year dividend growth streak and a new $10 billion buyback. Broadcom shares are expensive, but its AI tailwinds and a new long-term deal with Google help to justify the premium. 10 stocks we like better than Broadcom › There are a lot of great AI stocks to choose from these days, but they don't all offer the same long-term opportunities or tap into artificial intelligence (AI) trends as Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO). Nor do they pay a growing dividend, as the company also does. Broadcom is benefiting from two big AI trends, including a surge in data center demand and shift by big tech companies toward customized processors. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » And it's likely that Broadcom's impressive run isn't done yet. Here's why. How Broadcom is catching two big AI tailwinds AI is a vast market, so let's narrow it down to exactly how Broadcom benefits from it. First, its custom AI processors are increasingly in demand by leading tech companies to optimize their AI systems. Broadcom's processors can be designed specifically with a tech company's large language models in mind, making them more efficient and boosting performance. This advantage helped its custom AI application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) have a 140% increase in sales in the first quarter of 2026, thanks to expanding deals with Alphabet, Meta, Anthropic, and OpenAI. The chipmaker recently announced that it has expanded its partnership with Alphabet's Google, which keeps Broadcom designing Google's tensor processing units (TPUs) and supplying networking components through 2031. Broadcom's AI-spec...

Advertisement Recent performance snapshot Broadcom (AVGO) has seen mixed share performance recently, with the stock down about 0.1% over the past day, 2.6% over the past week, and 2.0% over the past month, while remaining higher over the past 3 months and year. Short term, momentum has cooled after recent declines in the 7 day and 30 day share price returns, but the 90 day and 1 year total shareholder returns still reflect very strong gains. If Broadcom has you thinking about long term technology themes, it can be useful to see what else is moving in AI infrastructure by scanning So with Broadcom still up strongly over the past year but cooling in the past month, are you looking at a rare chance to buy a leading chip and software company on sale, or is the stock already pricing in future growth? Most Popular Narrative: 13.7% Undervalued Broadcom's most widely followed narrative, according to oscargarcia, puts fair value at about $480 per share, compared with a last close of $414.14, which frames the recent pullback as a potential discount to that view. Broadcom is a pick-and-shovel AI infrastructure giant disguised as a chip roll-up plus VMware boo. With dual engines, custom ASICs for hyperscale customers and high-margin software from VMware, it offers exposure to the AI boom with operational discipline and deep enterprise penetration. Curious what kind of AI chip demand and software margins are built into that valuation, and how fast those cash flows are assumed to compound? The narrative leans heavily on a powerful mix of hyperscaler ASIC volumes, recurring infrastructure software, and premium profitability to justify its fair value. Result: Fair Value of $480 (UNDERVALUED) However, this bullish setup could crack if margin pressure from lower margin AI hardware worsens, or if heavy reliance on a few large customers starts to bite. Another valuation angle: pricing in perfection? That 13.7% undervalued narrative runs into friction once you look at Broadcom's current...

Key Points There are multiple geopolitical conflicts playing out around the world. Inflation, helped along by rising energy prices, could tip the global economy into a recession. Patient investors should stick to their long-term plans regardless of what happens with stocks. 10 stocks we like better than Berkshire Hathaway › The world is in a highly uncertain state today. And still the S&P 500 index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is hovering near all-time highs. But volatility from day to day has been high, suggesting that often mercurial investors are worried about the future. That's reasonable in the short term, but the long term is a different story. If you are a patient investor, history suggests you'll be just fine if you ignore the emotional swings that are driving stock prices today.

The S&P 500 index is the most common investment for those looking to simply track the market. Long-term investors like Warren Buffett, the former CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA)(NYSE: BRKB), often suggest that buying the S&P 500 index is the best option for smaller investors. It lets you own stocks with little effort. The focus from there can be on two fronts: Saving as much money as you can and sticking it out through the market's inevitable ups and downs. The first part of that can usually be set on autopilot, either through your employer's retirement plan or through automatic deposits to your brokerage account.

(Bloomberg) -- Congo suspended flights to the eastern city of Bunia and regional health ministers warned of escalating cross-border risks from Ebola as the outbreak spread across three provinces and overwhelmed contact-tracing efforts. Most Read from Bloomberg Authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo reported 91 confirmed Ebola infections, 867 suspected cases and 204 probable deaths as of Friday. Health workers had managed to trace only a fifth of the 1,745 identified contacts under monitoring — a surveillance gap officials described as “alarming.” The worsening outbreak prompted Congo’s transport ministry to halt commercial, private and special flights to and from Bunia, one of the outbreak’s epicenters in Ituri province near the Ugandan border. Humanitarian and medical flights may still receive special authorization, the ministry said Saturday. The measures underscore how rapidly the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola is spreading through eastern Congo and into neighboring countries. That’s straining already fragile health systems and forcing authorities to rely heavily on basic public health measures because there is no approved vaccine or antibody treatment for the rare virus type. The US expanded its Ebola response Saturday, announcing enhanced airport screening requirements for travelers arriving from Congo, Uganda and South Sudan, along with new emergency funding, medical supply shipments and the deployment of disaster response teams to affected areas. Africa’s top public health official said the latest Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo is being fought without one of the most important tools in epidemic response: vaccines. Jean Kaseya, director-general of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, said response efforts to the disease are now heavily dependent on community outreach and behavioral change campaigns to slow transmission. The outbreak, now the “second largest” after the 2014-2016 West Africa epidemic, is caused by the rare Bundibugyo stra...
