A large part of my day is spent using artificial intelligence (AI).
Because of this, even if you don't want to take news of the ship as a trader, you have to take it now because of the eco system.
The monthly subscription of these AI systems is quite expensive. A significant portion of the total electricity consumption globally is spent in various data centers, where the use of AI-enabled systems is increasing.
As this consumption increases, it becomes difficult to generate enough electricity through 'conventional' methods.
Now the experts think that the conventional power generation method is not enough to meet this 'increased demand'. As a result, tech-giants like Google, Amazon, Microsoft are leaning towards purchasing modern and safe nuclear reactors. Shopping is going on in the nuclear market.
In my view, this move will create an opportunity to generate excess power, which can be sold to other data centers, in addition to meeting their own power needs.
Research suggests that companies like Google could create a new business model by selling excess electricity generated from nuclear reactors.
This shift towards modern nuclear power can have a positive impact on the environment due to safety…

The box office has the potential to fully bounce back in 2025, reaching new heights beyond anything seen in the 2020s thus far.
This is primarily due to some of the big hitters from studios like Disney, Warner Bros., Paramount, and Universal.
While Marvel and DC’s presence will be greatly felt in the coming year, it’d be unfair to expect those superhero flicks to lead the way.
Even though 2024 had wonderful hits like Inside Out 2, Deadpool & Wolverine, Despicable Me 4, and others, 2025 has many more films with high potential.
The notion “Survive ‘Till ’25” was coined following the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and WAG strikes delaying many 2024 films. While everyone made it through a down year (collectively) in 2024, this idea has only ballooned pressure and expectations for 2025’s biggest films:
Heading into 2025, there’s an obvious box office winner, and that’s none other than James Cameron’s third Avatar film: Fire and Ash.
Between only two films, the Avatar franchise has grossed over $5 billion (with the B) at the global box office. 2009’s Avatar is still the highest-grossing film ever (due to a few re-releases) and 2022’s The Way of Water followed suit with a record-smashing $2.3 billion worldwide.
While these films are super-sized successes in North America, the international markets for the Avatar franchise are ravenous, including 448.6 million in China between both films.
The expectation for Avatar: Fire and Ash should be no different, if this isn’t the highest-grossing more released in 2025, something has gone terribly wrong (or terribly right for another blockbuster).
Cha-Ching! Another Disney animated sequel is being released alongside Thanksgiving in 2025, here’s the recent track record: Moana 2 ($225.4 million 5-day opening) and Frozen II ($125 million 5-day opening).
The original Zootopia remarkably made over $1 billion with a reported $150 million budget, making it the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2016 and the second-highest-grossing animated film of the year. Internationally, its success was driven by China, where it grossed $235.6 million, setting multiple records for an animated film.
It’s incredibly hard to bet against an established Disney franchise with a desirable sequel, especially after nine years of many young fans waiting. Zootopia 2 is one of 2025’s safest box office bets.
Here’s the thing. Despite poor reception (29% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 38 on Metacritic), Jurassic World Dominion was a booming box office success, grossing over $1 billion worldwide, coming in as the third-highest-grossing film of 2022.
This evidence proves many analysts’ hypotheses: If you put dinosaurs on the big screen, it will print money. 
So if anyone is fatigued by the Jurassic series since its resurgence in 2015, get used to it. As Rebirth has reset the cast again with stars like Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali, hitting another reset button just three years after Dominion‘s release.
One key market to watch with Rebirth is China, Dominion grossed $100 million less ($157.6) than 2018’s Fallen Kingdom ($261.2) in that country.
The confidence in box office success for Jurassic World 4 is based solely on the draw towards its IP at an international level, and very little about expected critical or audience reception.
After learning from their mistakes with the “Part One” of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Paramount Pictures is poised to pull on everyone’s heartstrings ahead of The Final Reckoning.
As the upgraded, marketing-enhanced, title suggests, this could be the final chapter of Tom Cruise’s journey as Ethan Hunt in the Mission Impossible franchise.
No Mission Impossible film has ever made over $800 million at the worldwide box office… until now. Dead Reckoning Part One only making $570.6 globally in 2023 was a product of low-stakes marketing, an over-reliance on Top Gun: Maverick goodwill, and its release time (one week before Oppenheimer and Barbie).
With The Final Reckoning, Paramount is laser-focused on making this film an event, creating a sense of urgency for audiences to go see it Memorial Day Weekend 2025.
No comic book movie releasing in 2025 is guaranteed to be a smash hit, but The Fantastic Four: First Steps may have the highest ceiling of the pack.
Once again, Marvel Studios is using its late-July slot to bring characters it acquired from 20th Century Fox into the MCU. However, this time it’s not an established sequel, which also happened to add in Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine.
So, no, the expectation for The Fantastic Four should not be the same as Deadpool & Wolverine ($1.3 billion). That said, Marvel’s clear confidence behind the new film is apparent, setting up a massive marketing campaign during the first half of 2025.
The Fantastic Four is a high-pressure situation, with a loaded cast (Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach) the opportunity to not only bring Marvel’s first family into the MCU, but the chance to finally do justice by these characters on the big screen.
The only near guarantee for First Steps is that it will become the highest-grossing Fantastic Four film ever, potentially earning more than all three previous films combined.
“Ohana means family.”
The Lilo & Stitch live-action remake being the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2025 is probably the hottest take on this Top 10 list. 
In many ways, a lot is going against it, as Disney remakes like The Little Mermaid ($569.6 million) and the current outlook of 2025’s Snow White (outside of The Direct’s Top 10) could work as negative momentum heading into Memorial Day (going head-to-head with Mission: Impossible 8)
However, this list reflects a return to box office greatness for Disney remakes, or at least an overperformance that catches many pundits off-guard. Not only is Lilo & Stitch nostalgia bait for Millenial and older Gen Z audiences, but this is set up nicely to be an adolescent albatross to kick off the summer season.
If this was a box office potential loss based solely on North American theaters, Wicked Part Two would’ve been in the Top 5, but the lack of international success drags the Act 2 musical down a bit.
However, there’s no doubt following the explosive opening of Wicked Part One that Part Two will be another huge success for Universal, likely becoming the most successful musical-to-film adaptation ever.
James Gunn’s Superman is arguably the most important comic book movie to ever release. No pressure.
2025’s Superman marks the true reset for the greater DC Universe, which faced many more lows than highs during the unpredictable DCEU era.
The newly formed DC Studios is set to right many of the past wrongs at Warner Bros. when it comes to their highly valuable superhero characters.
While there’s no greater place to start than Superman, it also comes along with violently opposed outcomes: 
The Direct’s Top 10 prediction for Superman does out it somewhere in between those two outcomes, leaning more towards global success. However, there’s no other movie on this list that has an equal chance of making $200 million as it doesn’t $1 billion.
Taking a page out of Disney’s playbook, Universal is diving into the live-action remake game with How to Train Your Dragon, a reimagining of the 2010 film.
While not as lucrative as some of Disney, Pixar, or Illumination’s greatest hits, Dreamworks’ How To Train Your Dragon animated franchise was a consistent box office success, especially overseas.
Written and directed by the original filmmaker Dean DeBlois, there’s little doubt that the live-action remake will do justice by the first film.
In addition, many are bullish on this film’s box office prospects based on when it’s released during the summer season and the natural allure of a story about Vikings and dragons being brought to life. Also, the first teaser gives excited fans their first look at the lead dragon Toothless, whose “real life” design is being widely celebrated.
Once laughed at and pushed into a corner, video game adaptations have been pretty hot lately and it’s hard to think of many more well-known gaming IPs than Minecraft.
Despite some mixed reactions to the initial trailers starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa, there’s too much built-in awareness and family-friendly opportunities for A Minecraft Movie to not make the Top 10.
This film could end up being a stinker, leaving fans far less satisfied than 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but even poor reviews may not matter on its journey to half a billion dollars.
While these honorable mentions didn’t crack the Top 10, they each carry unique potential. Michael, a biographical drama about Michael Jackson, could be a game-changer if its portrayal of the pop icon resonates with audiences worldwide. 
The Formula 1-themed F1 has the ingredients of a surprise hit, especially with its high-octane sports action and Brad Pitt’s star power. 
If either breaks into the Top 10, it would be remarkable. On the other hand, Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts and Captain America: Brave New World face tempered expectations. 
While Thunderbolts seems to have more positive buzz, giving it a better chance to make the Top 10, Brave New World could struggle to fill the void left by Steve Rogers, potentially marking it as a rare misstep for the MCU.
While Disney may dominate the 2025 box office with its heavy hitters and sheer volume, some of its releases could fall short of expectations. 
Despite its iconic source material, the live-action Snow White remake faces skepticism due to divisive casting choices and creative decisions, which could hinder its success. 
Similarly, Pixar’s original film Elio may struggle to captivate audiences in a crowded animation market. 
Meanwhile, TRON: Ares hopes to reignite interest in the franchise, but its niche appeal might limit its box office reach. 
These films, along with other notable releases like Ballerina, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, The Smurfs Movie, The Bad Guys 2, Now You See Me 3, and The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, will need to overcome fierce competition and high expectations to make the Top 10.

Rich McElligott adding horsetail reeds to the Shabbona Lake spillway this spring.

Rich McElligott showed a Ned fly at his table at The Early Show in November. It’s an adaptation of the Ned rig, his homemade fly-fishing version of one of most popular lures smallmouth bass.
It comes with a twist, he makes it with a roofing nail. Before he ties the fly, he grinds one side of the nail flat, then ties the hook on and finishes the fly.
The idea came while doing a project, as he put, “I’m from Berwyn.”
Practical ingenuity is a compliment to Berwynites.
McElligott came from Berwyn, but he’s headed to the Illinois Outdoor Hall of Fame in the spring as part of its largest class.
Practical ingenuity shows in his work with the Shabbona Lake Sportsman Club, where he has been president off and on (alternating with vice presidents) since 1995. SLSC, founded in 1982, is one of the oldest fishing clubs for Chicago-area anglers. The club is noted for practical projects–Rockfest, habitat work, fishing leagues,fish rescues–at Shabbona Lake, the 318-acre centerpiece of Shabbona Lake Recreation Area in DeKalb County.

The club has a wide draw.
“One third of the members are within 20 minutes, another third half hour away and a third are an hour away,” said McElligott Wednesday, just back from trying a new fly at a nearby pond kept open by geese. “The presidents come from within 20 minutes. It is easier to work with the park when have you have somebody local.”
That really showed around 2000 when McElligott, who lives in nearby Lee, thought to try rock as cover and structure, particularly for walleye.
“Why not try it,” late fisheries biologist Al Pulley agreed.
“That first year, it cost about $200 for a load of shot rock,” McElligott said. “We had five truckloads the first year [other clubs pitched in]. First year it was about five degrees outside and we had over 75 people.”
Shot rock is the rough stuff after quarry dynamite blows.
“We get the pieces,” McElligott said. “We wanted microwave size and bigger. We had some three by three feet.
Rockfest, putting in rock habitat at Shabbona Lake, is the brainchild of Rich McElligott.
Provided
“Most years were the shot rock. One year they were picking apart a parking lot, all concrete. [The construction boss] fished there. The biologist approved it and we got about 300 tons.”
For the non-fishing crowd, rock makes cover and ambush points for fish.
Rockfest is a cool event, but McElligott said getting kids and adults involved in fishing made him most proud.
“When I was growing up, it was like you had to have the magic lure and you could catch fish anywhere on the lake,” he said. “That’s not the way it is.”
McElligott grew up in Chicago at 63rd and Oak Park. His family moved to Berwyn when he was in seventh grade and he graduated Morton West in 1975. After marrying, he moved farther out, first Carol Stream then west.
In teaching fishing, McElligott picked up a universal truth. “Get the father out with son, you’re actually teaching the dad,” McElligott said. “If you do a fishing clinic for kids, the kids will get dropped off.”
So he aims to include parents. He had an example from bowling with his dad at Argo Bowl. They were good enough to win a Chicago father-and-son bowling event.
“I was in a bowling league when I was younger in Chicago and I said I wonder if that would work for fishing,” McElligott said.
The Awesome Anglers took first in 2016 the fishing league at Shabbona Lake.
Dale Bowman
With fisheries biologist Karen Rivera, they started a a fishing league in 1997.
“That is probably one of the best things I remember,” McElligott said.
Some league alumni went on to fish walleye tournaments and high school bass fishing.
McElligott became involved in fly fishing and teaching it to others. He has caught hybrid striped bass, walleye, perch, catfish, bluegill and crappie fly fishing at Shabbona.
Rich McElligott and his grandson Tony Schnupp, 14, working a table of their fishing flies and fly supplies at The Early Show in November.
Dale Bowman
He’s also been previous president of the Illinois Smallmouth Alliance, but his mark is on SLSC.
“I enjoy all aspects of [the outdoors], the intertwining of the plants and animals and the fish and the changes of the seasons, and the cycles that go through,” McElligott said. “I really like that fishing is not one tactic all the time. It keeps changing. I enjoy fly fishing, especially for bluegills. I do a lot of jig fishing, that’s probably most of what I do. But I will go out there and have a fly rod and a spinning rod.”
Rich McElligott holds a smallmouth bass he caught fly fishing.
Provided
The ICF will formally induct the 2025 class at the ICF Gale in the spring. Other area people going in with McElligott area are Kankakee River teacher/advocate/guide Matt Mullady, Kankakee, and Thomas Foss, Wonder Lake, for his decades of preservation, conservation and environmental education.

RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) – Richmond Police Department is doing its part to get guns off the streets.
Officers spent Saturday morning at New Life Deliverance Tabernacle, buying back hundreds of guns from Richmond residents.
It’s part of the department’s mission to reduce the accessibility of firearms around the city.
“It’s very important because we want to have a safe way for our citizens to get rid of unwanted guns instead of having them lying around the house where we can have young hands get into them, children get into them,” Richmond Police Department’s Sgt. Tish Cushenberry said.
People got a gift card for each gun that they turned in.
“Each gun is worth $200 or $250, that’s determined on the type of gun it is and that’s cleared by our police personnel. So, you get $200 or $250 depending on the quality of the gun and the quantity that you have,” Sergeant Cushenberry said.
Dan Ryan turned in four firearms, he says, for the safety of children.
“I was concerned about getting rid of it,” he said. “I was in the moving and hauling business, and I accumulated some in my business, so I don’t need them. I don’t use guns,” event attendee Dan Ryan said.
The date for the next gun buyback event has not been set. However, Richmond Police say when that date is set it will be released to the public.
