New York (World Newswire) -- Taboola, a world leader in providing marketers with performance at scale, today revealed a new focus that goes beyond native advertising as well as a po
For almost ten years, Taboola has been at the forefront of native advertising, helping clients succeed, mostly with bottom-of-article placements. With the launch of Realize, an industry-first platform that focuses exclusively on performance outcomes at scale beyond search and social, Taboola has expanded well beyond its legacy in the modern day.To meet performance goals, Realize leverages Taboola's exclusive data, performance AI, and a growing variety of inventory and innovative formats. Advertisers require specialist solutions, even if they require excellent solutions for every stage of the marketing funnel. It is quite difficult for current solutions that guarantee full funnel service to succeed at every stage of the marketing funnel. Taboola is now making Realize available to all performance-driven advertisers. According to Taboola, advertisers spend $25 billion annually trying to gain performance results on DSPs and specialized AdTech solutions. However, these channels frequently lack the scale, data, and performance expertise necessary to provide advertisers with the results they require. While AdTech businesses typically lack the scale necessary for success, DSPs typically concentrate on video and CTV, which is excellent for branding objectives but not performance. According to Taboola, social media expenditure is also experiencing declining returns at a rate of about $30 billion.

Woman Who Served With ISIS in Syria Loses Appeal Against UK Citizenship Revocation
On Friday, a British-born woman who joined the Islamic State while still a schoolgirl in Syria was unsuccessful in her most recent attempt to have her British citizenship revoked. In 2019, not long after Shamima Begum was discovered in a Syrian detention camp, the British government revoked her citizenship on the grounds of national security. Begum, who is now 24 years old, claimed the ruling was illegal, citing, among other things, British officials' improper consideration of the possibility that she was a victim of human trafficking. However, a lower court dismissed this claim in February 2023.After receiving an appeal in October, the Court of Appeal in London denied her request on Friday.

UK Police Search Hotel After Knife-wielding Man Is Seen
At an English hotel, a man was seen wandering around brandishing a big "knife" close to the elevators, which sparked panic. After multiple complaints from witnesses, armed police officers arrived at the location in Enderby, Leicestershire, shortly afterward. But when police realized that the weapon was simply a wand that belonged to a Harry Potter fan, they were astounded, according to the BBC. Following the entertaining incident, Leicestershire Police joked on Facebook that "there was no sign of Voldemort." They did not, however, specify which hotel the incident took place at. A Blaby police representative wrote: "This morning, a male individual inside a large hotel in Enderby was reported to have 'a large knife', so I went there with several firearms officers. We swiftly ascertained that it was a wand-wielding Harry Potter fan after making inquiries. Fortunately, nobody was hurt, and "Voldemort" showed no signs of appearing. Online users were amused and laughed at the Facebook post, and some took advantage of the situation to make puns and jokes about Harry Potter. A user made a joke, asking, "Are you being serious?" "So many missed opportunities for Harry Potter puns," another person said."You know, I wish there were more of these reports," remarked the third. However, these are dangerous times when it comes to knives; you can never be too cautious! I'm relieved that nobody is in danger and that instead of making people smile or laugh. Another four said, ''Expecto Patrol-man." Another said, ''I should use greater caution the next time I go out with my wands.''

Regarding Cabinet, spending, or military oversight, around three out of ten people have a high level of confidence in Trump: AP-NORC survey
According to a new poll from the AP-NORC Centre for Public Affairs Research, even though Americans recently elected Donald Trump to a second term, they do not believe that he will be able to appoint qualified individuals to his Cabinet or successfully oversee government spending, the military, and the White House. Trump appoints people to important positions in his government, some of whom may have to endure challenging Senate confirmation hearings even when Republicans are in control. Trump's promise to voters to be a disruptive force in the nation and a return to the tumultuous age of governance that characterized his first four years in the White House have been reflected in the selection process and its lightning-fast pace. Only about three out of ten Americans, however, are "extremely" or "very" confident that Trump will appoint competent individuals to his government. According to the majority of Republicans, their confidence is high.

EUR/USD remains firm as Trump raises tariffs cautiously
As US President Donald Trump announced lower-than-expected tariffs on China, EUR/USD stayed strong above 1.0400. ECB's Lagarde cautioned that the Euro bloc should be ready for US tariffs, while ECB's Stournaras said that if the US imposes tariffs on the Eurozone, the pace of policy easing could quicken.In Wednesday's North American session, the EUR/USD maintains its rise above the crucial support level of 1.0400. As investors assess the United States' (US) clear tariff measures to construct new positions, the key currency pair continues to rise. Following a new two-week low of 107.75, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the US dollar relative to six major currencies, recovers intraday losses.United States (US) President Donald Trump is ready to hike 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada and 10% on China, which will come into effect on February 1. Although he hasn't given specifics yet, Trump has also pledged to address trade imbalances with the Eurozone. Trump stated on Monday that he would either "raise tariffs or Europe buy more US oil and gas" to address the trade deficit. The US Dollar's (USD) demand as a safe haven is declining as a result of these tariff calls, which seem less alarming than what market players had expected from Trump's remarks during the election campaign.Traders may be forced to reduce their bets on the Federal Reserve (Fed) to maintain interest rates at their current levels for an extended period of time if Trump's tariff rises are less drastic than anticipated. Market investors currently anticipate that for the next three policy sessions, the Fed will maintain borrowing rates between 4.25% and 4.50%.

New Worker Classification Rule Could Disrupt the US Gig Economy
Uber drivers and other gig economy workers could be legally classified as employees under a new Department of Labor rule that goes into effect in March. The new rule already faces at least one lawsuit, filed by freelance writers who want to remain "independent contractors" rather than employees. Employees are entitled to overtime pay, minimum wage, and other benefits not available to contractors.While people who work as contractors value the flexibility, employment law experts say there's no reason employers couldn't offer flexible hours alongside employee status and the benefits that go along with it. App-based ride-sharing services such as Uber (UBER) and Lyft (LYFT) earned the title of “disruptors” for the way they drove traditional cab companies out of business. Now, they’re trying to fend off the disruption that could be coming for them, in the form of a new federal labor rule. A new regulation on worker classification released this month is already facing at least one legal challenge, and will likely see more pushback from gig economy companies whose business model it threatens. The new law could turn the gig economy upside down, and affect many of the estimated 22.1 million Americans who work as independent contractors, employment experts say. Earlier this month, the Department of Labor released details on a rule setting standards on when a worker counts as an employee as opposed to an independent contractor, entitling them to overtime pay, unemployment insurance, and a slew of other benefits under the law. The new rule, first proposed in 2022, is set to go into effect in March.This week, a group of freelancers, including three New Jersey-based writers, sued the Department of Labor to overturn the new rule. At least one major business lobbying group is also considering legal action. Should the government give “employee” status to workers currently classified as contractors, it would threaten the business models of companies such as Uber, Lyft, and Doordash (DASH), whose contract workers cost their employers much less than traditional employees would.Uber and the Flex Association—a trade group representing gig economy companies—both released statements last week saying that the rule would have no immediate impact on their businesses. “This rule does not materially change the law under which we operate, and will not impact the classification of the over one million Americans who turn to Uber to earn money flexibly,” Uber’s statement reads.

Analysis: China's past reverberates in Trump and Musk's America
A dramatic attempt to eliminate government bureaucracy is being spearheaded by US President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally, Elon Musk. Wang Xiangwei, a former editor-in-chief of the SCMP, claims that China is currently dealing with its own bureaucratic inefficiencies.HONG KONG: A "Cultural Revolution" like to that of the United States is underway. Many scholars of contemporary Chinese history, including this author, find it impossible to avoid drawing comparisons between the Cultural Revolution in China from 1966 to 1976 and the current assault against federal bureaucracy led by US President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally Elon Musk. One of the major reasons Mao Zedong started the uprising over 59 years ago was his concern that China was becoming into an aristocratic nation that didn't care about the interests and welfare of the people.He organized the Red Guards, who were primarily high school and college students, to launch attacks on government offices across the nation. Mao famously predicted that "great chaos under heaven" would give way to "great order" as China plunged into turmoil and paralysis.

Trump prioritizes deportations and climate rollbacks on his first full day in office.
In an attempt to establish his mark on his new administration on issues ranging from energy to criminal pardons and immigration, U.S. President Donald Trump released a slew of executive orders and directives on Monday, January 20, 2025.Trump started his immigration crackdown, removed the US from the Paris Climate Accords, attempted to keep TikTok operating in the US, and reversed hundreds of previous President Joe Biden's initiatives with his initial rounds of executive orders and memoranda. He granted hundreds of people pardons for their involvement in the attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. As Congress gathered to confirm Biden's 2020 victory over Trump, the president granted pardons late Monday to over 1,500 individuals convicted or charged with crimes related to the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol, as he had repeatedly promised during the 2024 campaign.Separately, Trump directed that federal cases targeting Biden administration political opponents—that is, Trump supporters—be discontinued. Although he said on Monday that he would stop using federal law enforcement as a weapon, his actions appeared to be solely intended to benefit his supporters.

India 'will do what's right' on illegal immigration, according to Trump
After speaking with Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the phone, US President Donald Trump declared that India "will do what's right" when it comes to the expulsion of illegal migrants.The leaders' first meeting since Trump's inauguration last week took place on Monday.They had what the White House called a "productive call" where they talked about trade, immigration, and security problems.Following the chat, Trump informed reporters that Modi would probably come to the US "sometime in February".Trump has issued several executive orders pertaining to immigration since taking office on January 20, opening the door for a broad campaign to target unauthorized immigrants in the US. The Pew Research Center estimates that as of 2024, there would be 725,000 undocumented Indian immigrants in the United States. India's foreign ministry stated last week that Delhi would accept Indians who were overstaying "anywhere in the world" provided their nationality was confirmed and their documents were submitted.According to the ministry, Trump and Modi talked about the bilateral relationship "including in the areas of technology, trade, investment, energy, and defense" during their phone conversation on Monday. The two presidents also talked about European, Middle Eastern, and Indo-Pacific security. Trump emphasized the significance of India expanding its purchases of US-made security equipment and pursuing a "fair" bilateral commercial relationship, according to a White House statement. Modi referred to Trump as a "dear friend" and stated that they were "committed to a mutually beneficial and trusted partnership" in a post on X (previously Twitter). According to the White House, both leaders reaffirmed their dedication to strengthening the Indo-Pacific Quad alliance, which also includes Australia and Japan, as well as their nations' strategic partnership. Later this year, India will host the Quad leaders for the first time. Between 2017 until 2021, when the US president was in his first term, Modi and Trump had friendly relations. However, the Trump administration and India were engaged in a sour tariff war that had an impact on companies on both sides. India's foreign minister, S Jaishankar, stated in November after Trump's election victory that the nation was not anxious about collaborating with the US president.Last year, Trump referred to Modi as a "great leader" but also charged that India was imposing exorbitant tariffs. It would be intriguing to see if the two countries' camaraderie can allay worries about immigration and commerce, according to analysts.

Trump Starts $500B Stargate AI Project to Strengthen US Economy and Tech Leadership
By making significant investments in the nation's artificial intelligence infrastructure, the Stargate project aims to elevate the United States to the top of the global artificial intelligence rankings. It is supported by big firms including MGX, Oracle, OpenAI, and SoftBank. The effort builds smart data centers and sets up mechanisms to support AI across several industries.The initiative has invested the first $100 billion USD to begin the infrastructure construction. Additionally, it claims to help reindustrialize the US economy and generate hundreds of thousands of new employment. In order to maintain America's and its allies' position as technology leaders, Stargate is also intended to strengthen national security and provide a strategic edge in artificial intelligence.Elon Musk has criticized the Stargate AI venture for its lofty objectives and questioned its financial viability, expressing skepticism about SoftBank's capacity to fund such a massive undertaking.Sam Altman responded by supporting the project and pointing out that construction has already begun on the first development site. He emphasized how it may improve national security, develop AI technologies, and grow the American economy. Musk and Altman's argument is representative of the continuous discussions in the tech sector, where executives frequently have divergent opinions about the direction and goals of AI.

British regulator Ofcom said Monday that the UK intends to expand its laws against unlawful content on the internet to include social media companies' responses to emergencies such as the recent riots in the nation.For the Online Safety Act, a law enacted in 2023 to regulate unlawful content on online platforms, the government published its initial guidelines. Ofcom stated in the announcement that it is preparing more actions for the upcoming spring, including fresh ideas for eliminating content related to terrorism and child sex abuse. Additionally, "crisis response protocols for emergency events" will be introduced. Following the deadly stabbings of three young girls in Southport and unfounded reports that the perpetrator was a Muslim asylum-seeker, violent protests erupted throughout the United Kingdom in August. In his second month in office, Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government faced significant challenges as a result of the riots. Social media providers were urged by Starmer to stop what he described as "violent disorder clearly whipped up online."X's wealthy owner, Elon Musk, has frequently chastised Starmer for how he handled the riots. According to a previous Bloomberg News story, the fallout forced Starmer's Labour party to contemplate tougher regulations to stop online incendiary content.According to Ofcom's initial regulations, businesses have three months to finish evaluating any unlawful damages on their platforms, the organization announced on Monday. According to the regulator, noncompliance can result in fines of up to 10% of a platform's global turnover or, "in very serious cases," a court order that blocks access to the platform's service in the UK.In a statement released Monday, UK Technology Secretary Peter Kyle said, "These laws represent a fundamental re-set in society's expectations of technology companies." "I'll be keeping a close eye on them to make sure they deliver, and I expect them to do so."

New York (World Newswire) -- Taboola, a world leader in providing marketers with performance at scale, today revealed a new focus that goes beyond native advertising as well as a po
For almost ten years, Taboola has been at the forefront of native advertising, helping clients succeed, mostly with bottom-of-article placements. With the launch of Realize, an industry-first platform that focuses exclusively on performance outcomes at scale beyond search and social, Taboola has expanded well beyond its legacy in the modern day.To meet performance goals, Realize leverages Taboola's exclusive data, performance AI, and a growing variety of inventory and innovative formats. Advertisers require specialist solutions, even if they require excellent solutions for every stage of the marketing funnel. It is quite difficult for current solutions that guarantee full funnel service to succeed at every stage of the marketing funnel. Taboola is now making Realize available to all performance-driven advertisers. According to Taboola, advertisers spend $25 billion annually trying to gain performance results on DSPs and specialized AdTech solutions. However, these channels frequently lack the scale, data, and performance expertise necessary to provide advertisers with the results they require. While AdTech businesses typically lack the scale necessary for success, DSPs typically concentrate on video and CTV, which is excellent for branding objectives but not performance. According to Taboola, social media expenditure is also experiencing declining returns at a rate of about $30 billion.

Analysis: China's past reverberates in Trump and Musk's America
A dramatic attempt to eliminate government bureaucracy is being spearheaded by US President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally, Elon Musk. Wang Xiangwei, a former editor-in-chief of the SCMP, claims that China is currently dealing with its own bureaucratic inefficiencies.HONG KONG: A "Cultural Revolution" like to that of the United States is underway. Many scholars of contemporary Chinese history, including this author, find it impossible to avoid drawing comparisons between the Cultural Revolution in China from 1966 to 1976 and the current assault against federal bureaucracy led by US President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally Elon Musk. One of the major reasons Mao Zedong started the uprising over 59 years ago was his concern that China was becoming into an aristocratic nation that didn't care about the interests and welfare of the people.He organized the Red Guards, who were primarily high school and college students, to launch attacks on government offices across the nation. Mao famously predicted that "great chaos under heaven" would give way to "great order" as China plunged into turmoil and paralysis.

India 'will do what's right' on illegal immigration, according to Trump
After speaking with Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the phone, US President Donald Trump declared that India "will do what's right" when it comes to the expulsion of illegal migrants.The leaders' first meeting since Trump's inauguration last week took place on Monday.They had what the White House called a "productive call" where they talked about trade, immigration, and security problems.Following the chat, Trump informed reporters that Modi would probably come to the US "sometime in February".Trump has issued several executive orders pertaining to immigration since taking office on January 20, opening the door for a broad campaign to target unauthorized immigrants in the US. The Pew Research Center estimates that as of 2024, there would be 725,000 undocumented Indian immigrants in the United States. India's foreign ministry stated last week that Delhi would accept Indians who were overstaying "anywhere in the world" provided their nationality was confirmed and their documents were submitted.According to the ministry, Trump and Modi talked about the bilateral relationship "including in the areas of technology, trade, investment, energy, and defense" during their phone conversation on Monday. The two presidents also talked about European, Middle Eastern, and Indo-Pacific security. Trump emphasized the significance of India expanding its purchases of US-made security equipment and pursuing a "fair" bilateral commercial relationship, according to a White House statement. Modi referred to Trump as a "dear friend" and stated that they were "committed to a mutually beneficial and trusted partnership" in a post on X (previously Twitter). According to the White House, both leaders reaffirmed their dedication to strengthening the Indo-Pacific Quad alliance, which also includes Australia and Japan, as well as their nations' strategic partnership. Later this year, India will host the Quad leaders for the first time. Between 2017 until 2021, when the US president was in his first term, Modi and Trump had friendly relations. However, the Trump administration and India were engaged in a sour tariff war that had an impact on companies on both sides. India's foreign minister, S Jaishankar, stated in November after Trump's election victory that the nation was not anxious about collaborating with the US president.Last year, Trump referred to Modi as a "great leader" but also charged that India was imposing exorbitant tariffs. It would be intriguing to see if the two countries' camaraderie can allay worries about immigration and commerce, according to analysts.

EUR/USD remains firm as Trump raises tariffs cautiously
As US President Donald Trump announced lower-than-expected tariffs on China, EUR/USD stayed strong above 1.0400. ECB's Lagarde cautioned that the Euro bloc should be ready for US tariffs, while ECB's Stournaras said that if the US imposes tariffs on the Eurozone, the pace of policy easing could quicken.In Wednesday's North American session, the EUR/USD maintains its rise above the crucial support level of 1.0400. As investors assess the United States' (US) clear tariff measures to construct new positions, the key currency pair continues to rise. Following a new two-week low of 107.75, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the US dollar relative to six major currencies, recovers intraday losses.United States (US) President Donald Trump is ready to hike 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada and 10% on China, which will come into effect on February 1. Although he hasn't given specifics yet, Trump has also pledged to address trade imbalances with the Eurozone. Trump stated on Monday that he would either "raise tariffs or Europe buy more US oil and gas" to address the trade deficit. The US Dollar's (USD) demand as a safe haven is declining as a result of these tariff calls, which seem less alarming than what market players had expected from Trump's remarks during the election campaign.Traders may be forced to reduce their bets on the Federal Reserve (Fed) to maintain interest rates at their current levels for an extended period of time if Trump's tariff rises are less drastic than anticipated. Market investors currently anticipate that for the next three policy sessions, the Fed will maintain borrowing rates between 4.25% and 4.50%.

Juthe Log: Former Indian Star Slams Rohit Sharma And Co. For Yashasvi Jaiswal's DRS Scandal
After third umpire Sharfuddoula Saikat reversed on-field umpire Joel Wilson's decision without providing any solid evidence, Yashasvi Jaiswal's ejection became the subject of intense discussion.After India's 184-run loss to Australia at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Monday, former India wicketkeeper-batter Surinder Khanna blasted the Australian team's strategy in the fourth Test match and demanded "fair play" from them. The hosts seized a 2-1 lead in the five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy series after Indian batters once again struggled against Australia's bowling attack while chasing 340 on the last day of play. With no solid proof, third umpire Sharfuddoula Saikat reversed on-field umpire Joel Wilson's judgment during India's chase, sparking intense discussion on India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal's dismissal. The third umpire's ruling was based on the video footage, which indicated some deflection even though the Snickometer showed no disturbance when the ball struck Jaiswal's gloves.Both the Indian camp and former players were not pleased with the result, blaming the technology for not doing its job adequately. 'There's no use in stirring controversy,' Khanna said, in contrast. In order to alter the outcome of the game, he suggested that the squad captained by Rohit Sharma play fair cricket initially.
