Welcome to the 68th edition of The Daily Zap — A Daily Newspaper (Kind of 🙏). Here, you'll get links to all of the latest news and updates mostly from the last 24 hours, divided in Sections (much similar to pages on a newspaper).
Let's unfold!

~Bitcoin News of the Day

  • Swan sued Gibson in California’s Superior Court on Nov. 22, accusing it of legal malpractice, claiming it “wooed and won Swan” to represent it against “former-partner-turned-adversary” Tether before the law firm “embraced Tether as a client and told Swan to get lost.”

Global Trade & ~Econ

  • The U.S. dollar on a trade-weighted basis has increased by 7.53% over the past year because of growth and interest rate differentials between the U.S. and its major trade partners. The dollar is set to soar in the next year amid an expansionary fiscal policy and a new tariff regime.

  • “As everyone is aware, thousands of people are pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing Crime and Drugs at levels never seen before,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders.”

  • While MI's contingent of Indian players is strong, their overseas picks were rather unconventional. Apart from Trent Boult and Mitchell Santner, the other six are untested or haven't been regular starters in the IPL. England allrounder Will Jacks and fast bowler Reece Topley, South African quick Lizaad Williams and Afghanistan spinner Allah Ghazanfar are pretty inexperienced in the league, while New Zealand's Bevan-John Jacobs and South Africa's Ryan Rickelton haven't played in the IPL before.

~Tech & ~Science

  • People have long believed that having a light and early dinner is healthier, and now a study by the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) and Columbia University provides scientific evidence to support this claim. Published in the open-access journal Nutrition & Diabetes by the Nature group, the study reveals that consuming more than 45% of daily calorie intake after 5 p.m. is linked to elevated glucose levels, which can have harmful health effects regardless of an individual’s weight or body fat.

~History with Mystery

  • On November 9, 1959—just two-and-a-half weeks before Thanksgiving—the U.S. secretary of Health, Education and Welfare made a startling announcement: some cranberries grown in the Pacific Northwest may have been contaminated by a weed killer that could lead to cancer in rats. This meant that cranberry sauce, a popular staple of Thanksgiving dinners, might not be on the menu anymore.

~Entertainment World

  • Geragos and fellow defense attorney Clifford Gardner filed a habeas petition asking the court to reconsider the conviction and sentences in the wake of new evidence that has received widespread attention both due to the case returning to the cultural zeitgeist via TV shows focused on the brothers’ story, and a heated race for Los Angeles District Attorney that saw DA George Gascón lose his election after he recommended resentencing for the brothers. New DA Nathan Hochman takes office on Dec. 3.

reply
From what I understand, it's not about the time of day, but giving yourself enough time to digest before going to sleep.
Do you generally go to bed after midnight?
reply
😅😅😅Almost at that time, at an average of 11pm... I'm falling asleep... I have a 2-year-old girl with plenty of energy😅😅😅
reply
I know that game. Eat when you can and sleep when you can. There will be time to optimize your health routine later.
reply
If soon he will grow up and I will be able to have a little more time for myself😅
reply
I think I should write an article on health for all of you. May be tomorrow or late at night today.
reply
It would be great 👌

I believe that Trump will take an aggressive stance on foreign policy, and each case has its own peculiarities. The article talks about fighting drugs, but it's much more than that. China already has a strong presence in South America (territories close to the United States). China has just built a huge port in Peru, which we all know about the amount of drugs that circulate in this type of place.

Today I like it "Eating After 5 PM Could Be Damaging Your Metabolic and Heart Health"

reply
You should eat 1 time only.
reply
I believe one day fasting in a week will work more.
reply
What is the mega auction? Is that similar to free agency in North American sports?
reply
Not very same as agency but the process is same except the players aren't transferred mid tournament.
The auction is done in a controlled manner by the Cricket Board of India. Every team is allocated a purse to buy players. The highest paid player for this year got $3203320.50
reply
How is it determined which players will be available in the mega auction?
reply
Players are given a chance to submit their availability before the auction. Also, IPL gets a window of 45 days when almost no international cricket is played by big teams.
