The UK economy shrank by more than first thought in the three months to September, revised figures show. The economy contracted by 0.3%, compared with a previous estimate of 0.2%, as business investment performed worse than first thought, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said. Growth figures for the first half of 2022 have also been revised down. The UK is forecast to fall into recession in the final three months of the year as soaring prices hit growth. A country is considered to be in recession when its economy shrinks for two three-month periods - or quarters - in a row. Typically companies make less money, pay falls and unemployment rises, leaving the government with less money in tax to use on public services. Economy to get worse before it gets better - Hunt Interest rates raised to highest level for 14 years UK faces biggest fall in living standards on record Darren Morgan, director of economic statistics at the ONS, said: "Our revised figures show the economy performed slightly less well over the last year than we previously estimated", with manufacturing "notably weaker". He added that household incomes, when accounting for rising prices, continued to fall, and household spending "fell for the first time since the final Covid-19 lockdown in the spring of 2021". The ONS said that gross domestic product (GDP) - the measure of the size of the economy - was now estimated to be 0.8% below where it was before the pandemic struck, downwardly revised from the previous estimate of 0.4% below. The economy has been hit as surging energy and food prices push inflation - the rate at which prices rise - to its highest level in 40 years. It means that consumers are spending less and businesses are cutting investment. Along with its revision for the July-to-September period, the ONS said the economy also grew less than first estimated in the first half of the year - expanding by 0.6% in the first quarter and 0.1% in the second quarter. The ONS has previously said growth stood at 0.7% and 0.2% in those quarters respectively. It is not unusual for the ONS to revise its growth estimates. It produces a first estimate of GDP about 40 days after the quarter in question, at which point only about 60% of the data is available, so the figure is revised later as more information comes in. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64062548

It is so strong that, according to observations by scientists, the desert armored beetle can withstand being stepped on by a human being. In the desert areas of the southwestern United States, but especially in the Sonoran desert, the armored desert beetle lives. This peculiar species is unmistakable thanks to its robust appearance and its characteristic dusty bluish or greyish colour. The latter is thanks to a waxy layer that it secretes to protect itself from the desert sun and preserve moisture, essential to survive in such hot temperatures. ALSO READ: This was the megalodon: the 17-meter giant shark that ate orcas for breakfast When wet, the armored desert beetle turns blackish, which is its true hue. Its legs are robust, and of the same color as the rest of the body, and its thorax is slightly flattened. It is a crepuscular species, which means it is most active at dawn and dusk. Asbolus verrucosus, its scientific name, has a shell or exoskeleton resistant to almost everything. It's so strong that, according to the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, these beetles can withstand being stepped on by a human being. death artist They are also known as "death beetles" due to their defensive behavior in the face of threats. According to the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden, when alarmed, the armored desert beetle will turn around and pretend to be dead. Its body stiffens to give the impression that its life has come to an end, but this is only a resource to escape its predators. ADVENTURE: Coast to Coast Journey: this is the 111-kilometer hike through the Baja California desert On the other hand, it feeds on plants and decaying organic matter and, like many desert dwellers, rarely needs to drink. There is talk that it is capable of living from 8 to 17 years and can live perfectly in community. Some keepers keep them in captivity alongside other insects such as desert cockroaches, some scorpion species such as Hadrurus arizonensis, velvet ants, or other arid climate beetles. https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/escarabajo-acorazado-del-desierto-caracteristicas-habitat-aspecto/

European new car registrations grew for a fourth consecutive month in November, driven by the strong performance of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs). Registrations of all cars across 27 European markets totalled 1,010,900 units last month, according to Jato Dynamics, compared with 860,700 in November 2021, for a year-on-year increase of 17%. BEVs performed especially well, growing 30% year-on-year to 172,600 units. They accounted for 17.1% of all cars registered during November – their second-highest monthly market share behind December 2021, when they hit 18.9%. This was helped by a barnstorming month for Tesla, with its Model Y and Model 3 taking the top two spots for BEV registrations. Felipe Munoz, global analyst at JATO Dynamics, said: “Despite the emergence of new rivals, November’s result shows that Tesla’s growth is accelerating, cementing its leadership in the European BEV market.” The brand’s performance was likely boosted by its practice of batch-delivering cars, which causes it to oscillate between the top and bottom of the sales charts on a month-by-month basis. Despite BEVs’ continued growth, petrol remains the dominant fuel in Europe, accounting for 53% of the cars registered during November. Electrified vehicles (BEVs and plug-in hybrids) took a further 28% of the market, while diesel lagged behind with 16%. The remainder was taken up by niche powertrains, such as hydrogen fuel cells. Although November was an especially strong month for registrations, it was not enough to mitigate the impact of slow months earlier in 2022. As of the end of November, 10,167,700 cars were registered in Europe during 2022 – a 6% shortfall year-on-year. November's best-selling cars in Europe 1. Tesla Model Y, 19,169, +254% year-on-year Tesla’s po[CENSORED]r crossover took the top spot in November with 19,169 sales. That represents a remarkable growth of 254% compared with November 2021, when production of the model was beginning to ramp up. The po[CENSORED]rity of the Model Y is doubtless helped by its availability: at the time of writing, Tesla claims a two-to-four-week wait for its delivery, whereas rivals are delayed by months. 2. Dacia Sandero, 18,781, +15% year-on-year The Dacia Sandero climbed a spot compared with October, with its exceptional value for money likely resonating with buyers as the cost of living crisis hits across Europe. That it’s also a competitive supermini, with a spacious interior and decent handling, makes it an especially compelling buy. 3. Toyota Yaris, 17,320, +153% year-on-year The fuel-efficient Yaris has been a mainstay in the top 10 this year, evidently retaining its po[CENSORED]rity four generations into its life. It’s still Toyota’s most successful and biggest-selling model in Europe, and a sporty GR performance variant continues to hold up as one of the finest hot hatches ever built. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/best-selling-cars-europe-2022

Russia has strongly criticised the visit to Washington by Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky, accusing the US of fighting an indirect war against it. President Joe Biden has pledged $1.85bn (£1.45bn) of military aid for Ukraine - including an advanced missile system to help guard against Russian attacks. In a defiant address to US lawmakers, Mr Zelensky welcomed the assistance. But Russia's US ambassador said these "provocative actions" would lead to an escalation with severe consequences. Anatoly Antonov told Russian state media that Moscow was "trying to appeal to common sense at all levels", but talk of delivering the Patriot missile system to Kyiv was "deeply disturbing". Zelensky's secret journey from Ukraine to the US Patriot missiles are capable, effective and expensive. The White House says they will help defend Ukrainians against "Russia's barbaric attacks on Ukraine's critical infrastructure". Moscow has complained that no calls for peace were heard during President Zelensky's trip to Washington - with spokesman Dmitry Peskov describing this as proof that the US was fighting a proxy war with Russia. Mr Peskov added that delivering Patriot missiles would not prevent Russia from "achieving its goals during the special military operation". "The talks in Washington have shown that neither Ukraine nor the United States is seeking peace. They are simply intent on continuing the fighting," said Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova. Russian commentators have echoed this - repeatedly accusing the US of "pumping Ukraine full of weapons". Some media reports from Moscow ridiculed the Ukrainian leader - with state TV's Channel One comparing him to a stripper begging for money. On Wednesday, he was likened to a toilet brush. Marking his first foreign trip since the start of the invasion, Mr Zelensky told Congress his country was "alive and kicking" and would never surrender to Moscow. As well as the $1.85bn package that has already been announced, another $45bn of US emergency assistance is currently before the Senate. Mr Zelensky expressed hope this extra funding would be approved, to "help us to defend our values and independence". But there are signs that US support is likely to face greater political scrutiny. Republican support for continued assistance has been eroding. In a survey conducted in November, just over half of Republican voters supported aid to Ukraine - down from 80% in March. The party, which will take control of the House of Representatives in January, has warned it will not write a "blank cheque" for Ukraine. But President Biden has vowed to stick by Ukraine "for as long as it takes". Zelensky makes his pitch - will US sceptics buy it? Mr Zelensky, who travelled on a US Air Force jet from the Polish city of Rzeszow, said that "regardless of changes in the Congress", he believed there would be bipartisan support for his country. He made his plea in emotive terms before a joint session of Congress - a speech that was interrupted 18 times with standing ovations by nearly all members of Congress, with the exception of some Republican lawmakers who did not clap. Speaking in English, he told them his country was still standing "against all odds" and predicted "a turning point" in the conflict next year. To illustrate the brutality of the war, Mr Zelensky evoked US troops fighting the Nazis during World War Two. "The Russians' tactic is primitive. They burn down and destroy everything they see. They sent convicts to the front lines, to the war. They threw everything against us, similar to the other tyranny, which in the Battle of the Bulge threw everything it had against the free world. "Just like the brave American soldiers who held their lines and fought back Hitler's forces during the Christmas of 1944, brave Ukrainian soldiers are doing the same to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin's forces this Christmas," he said. "Ukraine holds its lines and will never surrender." Concluding his speech, Mr Zelensky presented Congress with a battle flag signed by the defenders of Bakhmut, a frontline city in the east of Ukraine that he visited on the eve of his Washington trip. At a joint news conference, Mr Biden told reporters he was "not at all worried" about holding the international coalition together. Despite concerns some allies may be feeling the strain of the conflict's cost and disruption to global food and energy supplies, the US president said he felt "very good" about the solidarity of support for Ukraine. As Ukraine's most important ally, the US has already committed $50bn (£41bn) of humanitarian, financial and security assistance - far more than any other country. On his way home from Washington, Volodymyr Zelensky stopped in Poland where he met Polish President Andrzej Duda, one of his strongest allies. The two discussed the US visit as well as their "strategic plans for the future", Mr Zelensky said. Since Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February, the US military estimates that at least 100,000 Russian and 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed or injured, along with some 40,000 civilian deaths. The UN has recorded 7.8 million people as refugees from Ukraine across Europe, including Russia. However, the figure does not include those who have been forced to flee their homes but remain in Ukraine. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64066584

Accepted. Welcome Back!

The maker of po[CENSORED]r video game Fortnite has agreed to pay $520m (£427m) to resolve claims from US regulators that it violated child privacy laws and tricked users into making purchases. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) said the firm duped players with "deceptive interfaces" that could trigger purchases while the game loaded. It also accused it of using "privacy-invasive" default settings. Epic Games blamed "past designs". "No developer creates a game with the intention of ending up here," the company said. "We accepted this agreement because we want Epic to be at the forefront of consumer protection and provide the best experience for our players." Fortnite, a battle royale game that became a global sensation after its launch in 2017, has more than 400 million players around the world. The game is generally free to download, but makes money from in-game purchases of items such as costumes and dance moves. The FTC said that the game, which matches strangers around the world for interactive battles, was aimed at children and teens, but despite that, its developers failed to comply with rules regarding parental consent - even after making changes to address internal and public concerns. "As our complaints note, Epic used privacy-invasive default settings and deceptive interfaces that tricked Fortnite users, including teenagers and children," said FTC chair Lina Khan. "Protecting the public, and especially children, from online privacy invasions and dark patterns is a top priority for the commission, and these enforcement actions make clear to businesses that the FTC is cracking down on these unlawful practices." The FTC said Epic would pay $275m - a record penalty for the consumer watchdog - to resolve the claims it collected child and teen data without parental consent, and exposed children and teens to bullying and harassment by turning on voice and text communications by default. Epic Games agreed to change its privacy settings for teens and children, and have chat communications turned off by default. The company will also pay a record $245m, to be used for refunds to customers, to settle a separate complaint about deceptive billing practices. The FTC cited a "counterintuitive, inconsistent, and confusing button configuration" that led to hundreds of millions of dollars in unauthorised purchases. It said the firm had resisted changing its design to add a separate confirmation step, worried that doing so "would add 'friction', 'result in a decent number of people second guessing their purchase', and reduce the number of 'impulse purchases'", according to the complaint. It said the company locked accounts of customers who disputed charges and "purposefully obscured cancel and refund features to make them more difficult to find". Epic said it had been making changes and the practices detailed in the FTC's complaints were "not how Fortnite operates". "The laws have not changed, but their application has evolved and long-standing industry practices are no longer enough," the company said, adding that it hoped to offer a model for the rest of the industry. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64030272

As one of the largest scorpions in existence, the hairy desert scorpion is one of the deadliest predators in the southern United States. The hairy desert scorpion is among the largest arachnids in Arizona. Up to 11 centimeters long, its yellow shell makes it stand out among the stones and sand. For this reason, it is also known as the yellow scorpion, documents the Naturalista database. Here we tell you everything we know about these nocturnal predators of the arid plains of North America. We suggest: Why you should not kill the spiders you find at home Where does the desert scorpion live? The species was originally described in 1928, by the American geophysicist Maurice Ewing. The specialist was struck by the hard coating that protects the internal organs of the desert scorpion, which is why the scientific name appeals to this characteristic. Hadrurus arizonensis comes from the word hadr, which in Greek means hard. In addition to this natural shell, these arachnids have a series of hairs on their claws, tail, and back. Since they are not characterized by having very good eyesight, they help them detect the movement of larger predators, as well as their possible prey. What's more, the hairy desert scorpion is among the largest in the United States, according to Utah's Hogle Zoo. These scorpions are characterized by being nocturnal and solitary predators. In the deserts of Arizona, they only seek companionship when they reach reproductive age. Generally, females can gestate for 6 to 12 months. In total, they can have up to 35 young, which they carry around until they learn to hunt on their own. Also read: They discover a neon gecko that glows in the dark What do these hairy arachnids eat? The desert scorpion is sexually dimorphic. That is, the females are much larger than the males. Although they are actually olive green skinned, in the sun they look almost yellow. At night, however, they take on a blue color, typical of fluorescent animals. ALTHOUGH IT IS A SPECIES THAT HAS BEEN MUCH STUDYED—TO KNOW HOW TO TREAT ITS POISON—NOBODY REALLY KNOWS WHY THEY GLOW IN THE DARK. Since it inhabits arid and semi-arid regions, it generally feeds on smaller insects. Among them, moths, beetles and even other scorpions. Their poisonous sting allows them to hunt rodents and lizards. In captivity, documents the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), they live up to 20 years. However, in their natural environment, the average lifespan is much shorter, because they are susceptible to their predators. https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/escorpion-del-desierto/

INTRODUCTION When the Audi E-tron SUV arrived in 2018 as Audi’s first proper EV, it made headlines with its impressive 150kW peak charging rate, but even then the range was nothing to write home about. Four years later, its numbers are only about okay, so it’s a good thing that it’s facelift time. Signalling the profundity of the updates is a new name: to bring the flagship in line with the smaller Audi Q4 E-tron and forthcoming Q6 E-tron, it’s now known as the Audi Q8 E-tron. There are some visual tweaks, including new alloy wheel designs and redesigned bumpers and grilles, but the big news is to be found under the skin. Four years of advances in battery energy density have enabled Audi to increase the usable capacities of the battery packs from 71kWh to 89kWh (in the entry-level 50 variant) and from 89kWh to 106kWh (in the 55 and the sporty Audi SQ8 E-tron). Meanwhile, more advanced motors and a reduced drag coefficient have improved the energy efficiency. Even so, 2.6mpkWh is still pretty poor, and on my test drive in very mild conditions the digital gauge cluster indicated just 2.2mpkWh – a figure that would translate to a real-world range of just 230 miles. When it does need a top-up, the 55 can accept charging rates of up to 170kW – a useful increase but nowhere near the rival Genesis Electrified GV70’s 240kW limit. To top off the upgrades, there’s faster steering, retuned suspension (as before, all variants ride on air springs) and cleverer stability control and traction control. As before, the Q8 E-tron is an understatedly handsome and well-proportioned car, and in Sportback form it doesn’t suffer the ungainliness of some SUV-coupés. Not much has changed inside either, solid build quality and upmarket materials remaining present and correct. The lower touchscreen (for the climate) still does a job that knobs and switches could do better, but it works quite well, as does the main infotainment touchscreen. The sports seats are easy to get comfortable in and there’s no shortage of storage space. To drive, the Q8 E-tron is pleasant and mostly unremarkable. A 0-62mph time of 5.6sec is quick by any reasonable standard, yet it doesn’t suffer from the jumpy throttle response of Teslas and some other EVs. You can vary the amount of regenerative braking using paddles or simply let the car figure it out in the adaptive mode. The Q8 E-tron retains impressive noise isolation, but even on the glass-smooth roads of Lanzarote, there was more fidget to the ride than you might expect from an air-suspended luxury car. At least it dispatches ruts and potholes fairly well, despite its large wheels. Audi’s vehicle dynamics engineer told me it was a deliberate choice not to make an Audi float across the road like a Mercedes-Benz S-Class or a Range Rover. That’s fair enough in Germany, perhaps, but it might prove a bit too much on UK roads. The old E-tron struck a nice balance, so it would be a shame if we discover that it has been pushed too far in the direction of sportiness with this update. After all, you wouldn’t call the Q8 E-tron particularly sporty. It handles tidily, with decent grip, tight body control, well-weighted, progressive steering and a subtle sense of rear bias, but it’s too big and heavy for you to really want to chuck it around. Prices start at £67,800 for the 50, while £80,300 buys you the 55, and the SQ8 E-tron comes in at £97,500. The Sportback bodystyle then demands a £2500 premium whichever powertrain you choose. The BMW iX, which in iX xDrive40 form has a comparable spec to the 55, costs slightly less and is roomier but has a shorter range. The Mercedes-Benz EQC and the Jaguar I-Pace are pretty old and not very efficient either, although the Jag is at least very good to drive. This is a market segment that currently doesn’t exhibit the best the industry can produce. As an alternative, the Genesis Electrified GV70 is only slightly smaller and less rangy, but is faster, more efficient and almost £10,000 cheaper. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/audi/q8-e-tron

At least 36 people have been injured, 11 seriously, after a Hawaiian Airlines flight from Phoenix to Honolulu was hit by severe turbulence. One passenger said the shaking became so severe they were "pretty much floating off of our chairs". Twenty people were taken to local hospitals with injuries ranging from lacerations, bruising and loss of consciousness to head injuries. Thunderstorms were reported in the area at the time of the turbulence. On Monday, the US National Transportation Safety Board announced it is investigating the incident. There were 278 passengers and 10 crew on board the Airbus A330-200. The incident on Flight HA35 happened on Sunday morning, shortly before the plane came in to land at Honolulu's Daniel K Inouye International Airport. A statement from Hawaiian Airlines read: "Medical care was provided to several guests and crew members at the airport for minor injuries while some were swiftly transported to local hospitals for further care." Of the people taken to hospital, about 17 were passengers and three were crew members. A 14-month-old baby and a teenager were among them. Hawaiian Airlines' chief operating officer Jon Snook said he was "grateful" for the support provided by emergency services and that "it looks like everybody's going to survive". He added there had been unstable weather conditions in Hawaii recently that created challenges for airlines. One passenger told Hawaiian broadcaster KHON2 that the severe turbulence only lasted a few seconds, but it was enough to injure the passengers. "It was just rocky. And then, it quickly just escalated to, like, the point where we're shaking so much that we were, like, pretty much floating off of our chairs," Jacie Hayata Ano said. "You could see people were hurt around us and things are just everywhere... that's pretty surreal," she added. The airline said it was conducting a "thorough investigation" of the plane before it returns to service. Why turbulence is (usually) nothing to worry about Turbulence is a fact of flying - however severe incidents like those on flight HA35 experienced are rare, and a bit of a bumpy flight is usually nothing to worry about. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), turbulence can be caused by: air movement not normally seen atmospheric pressure jet streams air around mountains cold or warm weather fronts thunderstorms Sometimes it can be predicted - and pilots are known to radio to each other to give advanced warnings - but it can also come out of nowhere. Even though it is a weather phenomenon, turbulence can happen anywhere and in any conditions. The most important thing to do is to keep your seatbelt on - on average 58 people in the US are injured during turbulent flights when not wearing seatbelts every year, according to the FAA. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64024021
