Jan. 23 (UPI) —Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields , which premiered Friday at the Sundance Film Festival, is a profound portrait of an artist and a person that spans many cultural dimensions.
The two-part documentary uses Shields as a lens to explore the sexuality of young women.
Shields opened up about his career and personal experiences in an on-camera interview. Friends, colleagues and journalists help to place these experiences in a social context.
At 136 minutes, split into two parts, there's plenty to talk about. The document devotes a few minutes to each important moment in Dhal's life.
These cultural analysts point out that when Shields began modeling as a child in the 1970s, beauty standards had shifted from desirable adults to the sexualization of young girls. True, he was just working, but looking back he could tell where they were sitting.
In Shields' 1978 film Beauty, she played an 11-year-old prostitute. Her co-star Keith Carradine felt comfortable kissing her, although Carradine wasn't in the documentary to talk about it.
The documentary clearly mentions that Shields and her mother, Terri Shields, were criticized for allowing her to appear in the film. Director Louis Mallet did not.
When Terry and Brooke sued a photographer for leaking nude photos of Brooke when she was 9, Brooke's lawyers accused her of having sex when she was her age. Brooke realizes how much she was forced to become and then punished for it.
Shields had the opportunity to write his first book while attending Princeton College. He understands what many new writers find when editors and editors research different things.
Shields wanted to share his insightful observations on college. The editor wanted a burner and some dietary advice.
Headlines have already documented Shields' speech about Michael Jackson. He spreads rumors about her to improve her image.
Other relationships with men show that the way art portrays Shields has affected how she is appreciated by real partners and how she sees herself in relationships.
When Shields talks about her courage, how public reporting can make women question their own guilt in sexually assaulting them. This is true for all women, not to mention those who work in a system that encourages confusion.
The articles show what needs to be done to change these conditions in adult life. The shield can't do it alone. Friends help and support him.
Shields' infertility and postpartum issues still testify to the pressure placed on herself as the industry pushed her towards success. She viewed her infertility as something to be fixed, and postpartum depression took her by surprise.
Shields talks about postpartum depression in her book Don Came the Rain and shares a list of her worst thoughts about abuse. Documents show that it meets the needs of the sorority during this period of motherhood.
Mothers are promised a magical bond with their newborns, but Shields' experience was different. In the future, he is always intimidated by powerful people, but he can defend himself.
Going through decades of work and personal turmoil is not necessarily a place of resolution, but of progress. Cameras capture a heated conversation between Shields and her daughters, suggesting these issues are being addressed with sane ideas, but they're still in the works.
Brooke Shields is picture enough to warrant a detailed biographical documentary. The young model-actress-turned-lawyer-writer's social background explains what her experiences taught the world about shields and what she herself learned about the world.
All Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields will be released after Sundance.

The most sexually exploited child star on the Internet.
Congress returns to Washington today amid signs that Republicans are struggling with a slim majority in the House of Representatives. Plans to introduce a border security bill later this week were stalled by backlash from more moderate members, and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) failed to muster the votes for a police order. Republicans and the White House are still arguing over raising the national debt ceiling.
President Biden returned to the White House on Monday morning and said he was ready to hire Jeff Zients, who oversees the administration's response to the coronavirus, as his new chief of staff. Biden's week includes a White House meeting with Democratic congressional leaders and a trip to Virginia to outline his economic policies.
3:41pm: That's it: Trump to hold GOP caucus in New Hampshire before South Carolina closes
Former President Donald Trump will address the Republican Party's annual convention in New Hampshire on Saturday, hours before a planned campaign trip to South Carolina.
The events will be the first public appearances of the Trump 2024 campaign. The former president has held private events, mostly in Florida, since announcing his presidential bid in November.
New Hampshire became the first state to hold a presidential election in a long time. Although Trump made statements to the Governor of New Hampshire, it should be noted that Republican Governor Chris Sunu has been severely criticized by the former president.
Sununu told the Washington Post last month that he didn't think Trump could win the White House in 2024.
"Unfortunately, President Trump … I don't think he can win on November 24," Sunuunu said. “He didn't win in 2020… He didn't win, so why should we think he can win again?
Sununu described Trump as a candidate of "great extremism."
"I don't think this is the right brand for America.
Sununu is a popular Republican governor who won last year's election by more than 15 points. Although he was announced as a possible candidate for the Republican Party in 2024, he did not run for the White House. He told the Post last month that he wasn't thinking of proposing.

3:41pm: This is it: Schumer paints a bleak picture if the nation defaults on its debt
On Monday, Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (DN.Y.) criticized Republicans for saying "yes" to debt talks, painting a bleak picture of the country's bankruptcy prospects.
If the United States defaults on its debt, Schumer warned, the consequences would affect "every average American family." Interest rates on mortgages, car loans, credit cards and pensions will go up, he said, while home values and people's retirement accounts will go down.
"It's not some abstract, esoteric thing that's floating in the clouds. It's going to affect us all," Schumer said. "Default is not up for debate. Both parties must work together to pay down our debt on time. And Democrats are ready to act quickly to make it happen."
Schumer noted that the debt ceiling has been raised about 80 times since 1960, including three times under President Donald Trump. He also called on House Republicans who are "serious about holding the debt ceiling hostage in exchange for drastic spending cuts" to immediately back off their proposals.
"If Republicans are talking about drastic cuts, they have an obligation to tell the American people what those cuts are and let the public react. Let's do it now, not in six months, when the risk of a withdrawal is closer," he said. added. he said.

3:36 p.m.: Here it is: Ricketts sworn in as senator from Nebraska
Pete Ricketts (right) was sworn in as a junior senator from Nebraska on Monday afternoon.
Ricketts will replace former Sen. Ben Sassen (R), who resigned earlier this month to become the next president of the University of Florida. Ricketts, a two-term governor of Nebraska, was appointed to the post by his successor, Gov. Jim Pillen (right).
Vice President Harris was sworn in before Ricketts shortly after calling the House to order Monday afternoon. Ricketts was joined by Sen. Deb Fisher (R-Nebraska).
"Pete, we're thrilled to have you on the team," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) said after being sworn in.
Ricketts will serve until the 2024 special election, when Nebraska voters will choose who will serve out the final two years of Sassen's term. Ricketts previously said he would run for a full term in 2026.
Ricketts was to be named after the Sasse mansion. At the press conference announcing his decision, Pillan said Ricketts' choice was "very, very clear." Ricketts and Pillen are close allies; the former governor endorsed Pillay in the gubernatorial primary.
3:24pm: On our radar: Biden to speak on infrastructure in New York, Maryland next week.
President Biden will travel to Baltimore and New York next week to promote a bipartisan infrastructure deal and discuss travel improvements along the Northeast Corridor that will be funded by the law.
Biden will travel to Baltimore for the first time on January 30, where he will talk about replacing the 150-year-old Baltimore and Potomac Tunnel. On Tuesday, he will travel to New York to talk about improvements to the Hudson Tunnel project.
The 148-year-old tunnel is the longest rail line between Washington DC and New Jersey. Here is the new replacement plan.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the president's goal was to show voters that "we can still do great things when we work together."
"Both projects will create well-paid jobs for passengers, including unions, reduce travel times and improve safety," he said.
Biden, he added, "will also revise his economic plan to pour billions of dollars into private sector investment in Maryland, New York and across the country to build a booming economy."
3:07 pm: The latest: Granholm criticizes House Republican efforts to control oil spills
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm has criticized House Republicans for passing the Strategic Petroleum Response Act, which prevents the Energy Department from releasing oil from the strategic stockpile until the Biden administration opens up more federal land to oil and gas leases.
Speaking at the White House briefing, Granholm also welcomed the White House's decision to release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve because of falling gas prices.
Granholm called the GOP bill part of an "extreme program" that "risks exacerbating supply shortages and driving up prices at a time of crisis."
According to him, this measure will not bring any financial benefit to the American people. Instead, he said, "it will prevent us from responding to oil spills in the event of an international emergency and other military objectives of [Russian President Vladimir] Putin."
Granholm said that if Congress passes it, President Biden will veto the measure.
"He will not allow the American people to suffer because of the regressive agenda promoted by House Republicans," he said.
Granholm noted that gas prices today are lower than they were at the start of Russian aggression in Ukraine, which the Biden administration has repeatedly accused of being behind the gas price hike.
US gas prices fell to $3 on lower global demand
"Analysts who looked at it thought that emissions from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve would fill supply gaps in the world market due to the invasion and collapse of Russian oil," he said.
14:42: Latest news: Four members of the jury plead guilty to the January 6 uprising
Four members of the far-right group The Oath Keepers, who joined founder Stuart Rhodes in a plot to keep President Donald Trump in power by force, were convicted by a jury of sedition on Monday.
As Rachel Weiner writes, seditious charges of conspiracy are rarely used, let alone successfully. Rhodes' trial found him and Florida Oath leader Kelly Meggs guilty of the crime, while three members were found guilty of lesser political charges.
According to Rachel:
Joseph Hackett, 52; Roberto Minuta, 38 years old; David Merschel, 45, and Edward Vallejo, 64, have been branded by federal prosecutors as armed and dangerous traitors who mistook their lawyers for hapless participants in the mayhem.
"They said they discussed the Constitution, but they misused it," prosecutor Jeffrey Nestler concluded. "They ignored the will of the people," he said, "but they had the audacity to claim they were in charge."
Of the nearly 1,000 people indicted on Capitol Hill on Jan. 6, only 14 were charged with conspiracy to riot, whom the Justice Department identified not only as part of a violent mob but as leaders who used violence to advance a political agenda. Oath Verdict Five members of the Proud Boys stand trial on charges of conspiracy and rebellion.

1:45 p.m.: Note: Pelosi celebrates Golden Gate Bridge funding with Biden administration officials.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (R-CA) may not lead the House of Representatives, but she still has a lot of influence when it comes to top Biden administration officials visiting her district.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Mitch Landrieu, the White House official responsible for overseeing bipartisan infrastructure legislation, joined Pelosi on the Golden Gate Bridge on Monday to announce $400 million that will be used to repair the key span. seismic structure.
"It's true that you're here," Pelosi told Buttigieg and Landrie, noting that the project's spending was among the largest since the infrastructure bill she helped pass in Congress last year. "This bridge is a wonderful piece of infrastructure."
Speaking to Pelosi, Buttigieg said, "There's only one Golden Gate Bridge, and we're going to protect it."
The north and south ends of the bridge were repaired in 2013, but the main span is still in need of repair, Pelosi's office said.
Pelosi's office said last month that the Federal Highway Administration today rated the Golden Gate Bridge as "good" but said deterioration would result in a "poor" rating over the next three years. "Recently announced federal funding will allow this remaining section to undergo a major seismic upgrade and ensure the bridge's permanent structural integrity."
Buttigieg praised Pelosi's performance as a speaker, calling her "one of the most important American women of our new age." Pelosi currently holds the title of "moral speaker."
13:06: On our radar: Trump is investigating Georgia. The grand jury's final report may be released soon
For the better part of eight months, they gathered in Fulton County Circuit Court to review evidence from a massive criminal investigation into whether former President Donald Trump and his allies broke the law when Trump lost the 2020 election in Georgia.
Now the results of the 26-member special jury may be released soon, according to The Post's Atlanta-based Halle Bailey. According to our employee:
Two weeks after the grand jury concluded its case and dismissed the panel, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney scheduled a hearing Tuesday to decide whether its final report should be made public.
This discussion can lead to conflicting opinions. Fulton County District Attorney Fanny T. Willis (D) is expected to file charges and could request that part, if not all, be closed in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, attorneys familiar with the investigation are likely to press McBurney to keep the report confidential indefinitely.
On Monday, a coalition of media organizations filed a 109-page memorandum asking McBurney to seal the report, calling it "a matter of deep public interest at the heart of democratic governance in this country."

12:50: Analysis: how bad was Kari Lake? This is bad.
A bad candidate cost the Republican Party in 2022. But in no other state, except maybe Michigan, did they cost it more than Arizona.
We can now apply hard facts to the seriousness of these candidates, including Cary Lake and Blake Masters.
As Aaron Blake writes:
As Nate Cohn of The New York Times recently noted, voters in the state favored Republicans by nearly nine points, with 75% of registered Republicans voting, compared to 69% of registered Democrats in the newly red state. .
It sounds like a recipe for success, but it's not. So it was easy to think that what happened in Arizona was similar to what happened elsewhere, as Cohn wrote: Republican voters did not vote for some Republican candidates.
There is strong evidence that the races we think of today took place in Arizona on a large scale.
This weekend, The Arizona Republic pointed to polls in key Maricopa County, which has about 60% of the state's voters. He belongs to the Audit group, which includes a Republican data analyst. The analysis showed that Lake, Masters and other state candidates, such as Secretary of State candidate Mark Fincham, lost significant numbers of Republican voters.
These voters didn't just lose these races. they voted heavily for Democrats. And in some cases, including the case of the Lake, this seems to be crucial.

12:34 p.m.: Latest: The man photographed in Pelosi's office on Jan. 6 has been charged with 8 felonies.

Paul Duggan reports that the man from Arkansas, who broke into the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 and was photographed lying on the table in the office of then-President Nancy Pelosi, was indicted on eight charges related to the hacking of federal accounts on Monday.
Richard "Bigo" Barnett, who is now 62 years old, and who, before leaving his office, left a crudely written message for Pelosi in a stolen envelope with the California Democrat's digital signature, sat silently during the jury's verdict in the US District Court in Washington.
After nine days of testimony and legal arguments in court, the board began deliberations on Monday morning and within two hours found Barnett guilty of eight counts, including four criminal offenses.
The most serious charge he faced — obstruction of official government activity — carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. Но консултативные приговоры, используютные судом, порекондуют более короткое панышей и его чаше.
Judge Christopher R. Cooper allowed Barnett to remain under house arrest in his small hometown in Ozark, although prosecutors argued that he should be held in custody until sentencing, which is scheduled for May 3.

12:20 вечера: начение: Trump is targeting McConnell on the background of the long ceiling
Former President Donald Trump criticized Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday after the Kentucky Republican said he was confident the United States would not default on its debt, despite a standoff between the White House and Republicans last week over it. enter the conditions. raise the debt ceiling.
"Mitch McConnell — either the worst negotiator in the history of politics, or a ruthless fraud," wrote Trump on his Truth Social social network. "There is no other explanation to why it became a stamp for the Democrats. Republicans, use the debt ceiling to pay all this!
Republicans in the House of Representatives are pushing the White House to agree to a sharp reduction in spending in exchange for raising the national debt ceiling, despite the fact that Republican Party lawmakers voted three times to raise the national debt ceiling during Trump's presidency. The debt increased sharply for this period, partly because of the tax cuts adopted by Congress, led by Republicans, at the request of Trump.
Speaking to journalists in Kentucky at the end of last week, McConnell said that the current standoff will end until the Ministry of Finance announces debt default. The White House wanted a clean bill that would increase the debt ceiling without any conditions.
«В конце вечень, I think the most important thing to remember is that America never declared default on its debt. Никогда не было и никогда не будет", — said McConnell.
12:14 pm: analysis: five questions about documents, issued by Biden
В эти выходные Del. A search of his house in Wilmington, conducted at 13:00, revealed more secret items, some of which relate to the eight years of his tenure as vice president, and others — to the decades of his work in the Senate. Much of what we think we know about these developing debates is contained in this article by Matt Wieser and Tyler Pager from The Post.
But, as Olivier Knox says from the Post in The Daily 202, the main quality of any journalist is knowing what he doesn't know. According to Oliver:
Answering the question about the latest results of the CBS program "Face the Nation" on Sunday, Senator Tim Kaine (Virginia) said that now is the best time to consider some unresolved issues.
«О скольких документах идет рече? "С ними? Горстка или сотни? Насколько они сериезны? Почему они были удалены? Кто-нибудь имел к нему опесны? Итак, президент коработирает?» — asked Каин (он скачать: «Конечно, коработирает»).
In his work, Olivier examines five questions, starting with the document storage chain.

11:59: Смотрите: Байден в белый дом, ignoring questions about documents
President Biden returned to the White House in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, on Monday.
On the way from Marine One to headquarters, Bidens ignored journalists' questions about the storage of secret documents. A search of the Ministry of Justice in Wilmington, Delaware, on Friday turned up additional evidence. Об этом выбольный личный объяденный Байдена.

11:49: Note: DeSantis heads the straw poll at the summit against abortions.
Голосование на предстанидских выборах 2024 года состоялосов на самимете activitis против абортов в Washington, округ Колмубия, в минувшие выходные, и был вечерный веченный был. This was not former president Donald Trump.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (right) was the leader: about 54% of those who said that about 2,000 votes were cast at the National Pro-Life Summit. Trump is far behind with roughly 19%.
Former Vice President Mike Pence took third place with 8%. No other presidential candidate managed to gain more than 2% of votes.
Пробные опросы вряд ли можно назвать научными, и они нацелены на можной избортелей. The summit, which took place on the next day after the "March for Life", which gathered thousands of activists in Washington against abortion, was sponsored by, among other groups, "Students for Life of America". «Это было однодневное учебное мероприятие для стронников пожизненного заключение всех возрастов».
However, it is hard to call it a Trump victory. Activists against abortion are very active in the primary politics of the Republican Party, and Trump's success in the party is partly explained by the support of evangelical voters, for whom abortion is a key issue.
After Rowe's death, thousands of people joined the Washington za zhizn march.
11:15: На нашем радаре: Ларри Хоган побеждает демократов Мэриленда. Можно ли это сделать внутри?
Бывший губернатор Мэриленда Ларри Хоган (справа), который баллотировался в президенты за несколько лет до истечения срока его полномочий, публично поставил под сомнение, будет ли попытка убедить республиканских избирателей выдвинуть кандидатуру наглого критика Дональда Трампа политическим самоубийством.
Эрин Кокс из The Post пишет, что, когда Хоган ушел в отставку в среду, вопрос оставался открытым, сможет ли он продать навыки, которые сделали его исключительно популярным в качестве республиканского губернатора демократического штата, расколотой республиканской партии. По словам ее мужа:
Любая президентская заявка будет основываться на его пребывании в Мэриленде, где он взаимодействовал с избирателями посредством кризисного управления и операций по связям с общественностью, а также реализовывал популистскую политику, такую как снижение платы за обучение и кондиционирование воздуха в школах.
Его прагматизм привел его к принятию вопросов, с которыми не согласились бы многие другие республиканцы: ранний и расширенный мандат на ношение масок, новые налоги на страховые компании для снижения стоимости полисов Obamacare, законы о контроле за здоровьем, огнестрельное оружие и запрет на конверсионную терапию для подростков-геев. . спираль. столкнулся со своей партией как доминирующий голос во время рака и пандемии. В последний год своего пребывания в должности он предоставил налоговые льготы пенсионерам, а федеральная помощь в связи с пандемией раздула баланс штата с профицитом в миллиарды долларов.
Хоган использовал эту репутацию и как оружие, и как щит.

10:50: Анализ: ChatGPT выставляет счет. Это будущее?
Законодатели США нередко обращаются к заинтересованным группам за помощью в разработке основных законодательных актов, даже если они являются целью предлагаемых правил.
Но в том, что может быть первым, Кристиано Лима и Аарон Шаффер из The Post пишут в The Technology 202, что сенатор от Массачусетса использовал футуристический инструмент, чтобы помочь разработать законопроект, чтобы сократить его: ChatGPT, чат-бот от искусственного интеллекта — a. По мнению наших коллег:
В пятницу сенатор штата Барри Файнголд (D) представил закон о создании гарантий конфиденциальности и безопасности данных для службы, которая была «разработана с помощью ChatGPT».
Как пишут мои коллеги Праншу Верма и Рэйчел Лерман, инструменты, которые направляют языковые модели ИИ для генерации ответов на запросы, похожих на человеческие, «взяли штурмом Интернет». «Люди задают ему вопросы, и он отвечает информативно, иногда с юмором, иногда тревожно и проблематично», — написали они.

10:08: Qeyd: Pompeo ölkəyə sadiqliyini ifadə edir, amma Trampa yox
Keçmiş prezident Donald Tramp bu yaxınlarda bildirib ki, Nazirlər Kabinetinin katiblərindən hər hansı birinin 2024-cü ildə Respublikaçılar Partiyasının namizədliyi üçün ona qarşı çıxması “çox sədaqətsizlik” olardı və bəziləri ona bu təklifi irəli sürərsə, “heç vaxt namizəd olmayacaqlarını” söylədilər.
Bazar ertəsi keçmiş dövlət katibi Mayk Pompeo bunu heç vaxt demədiyini və Trampa yox, ölkəyə sədaqət hiss etdiyini söylədi.
Pompeo Fox News radiosunda çıxışı zamanı Tramp haqqında deyib: “Prezident xəyanətdən danışanda, mən onu səhv başa düşürəm”. “Vətən qarşısında borcunuza sadiqlikdir. Bu sizin millət qarşısında borcunuzdur”.
2024-cü ildə Ağ Ev üçün mümkün təklifi nəzərdən keçirən Pompeo aparıcı Brian Kilmeade-ə "Mən heç vaxt namizəd olmayacağımı demədim" dedi və əlavə etdi: "Yarışda başqa kimin olmasının əhəmiyyəti yoxdur".
Pompeo Tramp administrasiyası üçün işindən qürur duyduğunu desə də, Tramp üçün işləməyin Ağ Ev üçün diskvalifikasiya olmamalı olduğunu söylədi.
Pompeo deyib: “Bu, mənimlə bağlı deyil, Donald Trampla bağlı deyil”. “Bu, digər insanların heç birinə aid deyil. 'Amerikaya çatdıra bilərsinizmi?' … Beno, lasterketan sartzen diren jende askorekin kanpaina handi bat baldin badago, denek ekarri beharko lukete, bere argudio onenak egin eta amerikar herriari dena konpontzen utzi beharko lukete”.

09:39: Analisia: Bidenek nola bete dezakeen bere %100 garbiaren elektrizitate helburua
It's one of President Biden's most important and ambitious climate goals: eliminating carbon pollution from America's power sector by 2035.
Writing in The Climate 202, The Post's Maxine Joselow relays that meeting this goal will necessitate a massive transformation away from fossil fuels. It will slash planet-warming pollution from power plants, which rank as the nation's second-biggest contributor to global warming. And it will allow Americans to power their electric cars, heat pumps and other appliances with clean electricity from renewable sources. Per Maxine:
Yet achieving this target is far from guaranteed. Last year, only about 40 percent of US electricity came from clean sources. The landmark climate law that Biden signed last summer, dubbed the Inflation Reduction Act, is projected to leave the nation off track from meeting this goal in the coming years.
However, a detailed new analysis finds that the Biden administration can still keep this central climate goal within reach if the Environmental Protection Agency enacts strong carbon pollution standards for new and existing power plants.
And the administration can ultimately meet this goal if state and federal policymakers take additional steps to accelerate the deployment of clean energy nationwide, according to the analysis by the environmental groups Evergreen Action and the Natural Resources Defense Council, which was shared exclusively with The Climate 202 before its broader release Monday.

9:11 AM: Analysis: Abortion rights advocates never got to celebrate Roe's 50th anniversary
Sunday marked the 50th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade ruling, but abortion rights groups didn't celebrate it like they might have once expected.
Writing in The Health 202, The Post's Rachel Roubein relays that, instead, they're fighting more than a dozen state-level bans that quickly fell into place after the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to the procedure in June. Per Rachel:
Over the weekend, the Women's March held roughly 200 events in states and cities across the country, including its marquee march this year in Madison, Wis. Planned Parenthood's political and advocacy affiliates are hosting a week of actions, such as rallies in state capitals and trainings focused on reducing the stigma of abortion. And Vice President Harris pushed for national legislation to protect abortion rights in a speech delivered in Florida, a state that bans most abortions after 15 weeks.
The moment underscores the battles to come in a post- Roe America. Antiabortion advocates spent 49 years working to overturn Roe — and now abortion rights groups are scrambling to reinstate those protections.

8:53 AM: The latest: Jeffries taps Schiff, Swalwell for Intelligence despite McCarthy's vow to block both
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (DN.Y.) has formally recommended that Reps. Adam B. Schiff and Eric Swalwell be reappointed to the House Intelligence Committee, escalating a clash with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who has vowed to deny spots on the panel to both California Democrats.
In a letter dated Saturday, Jeffries argued that McCarthy has no justifiable reason not to accept his appointments of Schiff, who served as chairman of the Intelligence panel until Republicans took control of the chamber, and Swalwell.
“It is my understanding that you intend to break with the longstanding House tradition of deference to the minority party Intelligence Committee recommendations and deny seats to Ranking Member Schiff and Representative Swalwell,” Jeffries wrote in the letter obtained by The Washington Post. “The denial of seats to duly elected Members of the House Democratic Caucus runs counter to the serious and sober mission of the Intelligence Committee.”
Republicans have been angling to deny spots on key panels to Democrats partly in retaliation for votes by the Democratic-led House in the last Congress to remove Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Paul A. Gosar (R-Ariz.) from committees.
Greene espoused extremist beliefs and voiced approval of violence against prominent Democrats, while Gosar posted an animated video depicting the killing of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (DN.Y.) and violence against President Biden.
McCarthy has argued that Schiff and Swalwell are unfit to serve in the Intelligence Committee, pointing to Schiff's conduct as chairman of the panel during the first impeachment investigation of President Donald Trump and Swalwell's alleged ties to a Chinese intelligence operative — an episode that has produced no evidence of wrongdoing on Swalwell's part.

8:30 AM: Noted: Florida Democrats in despair over future

More than two months after enduring humbling midterm losses, Democrats in Florida are in a state of disorder, with no clear leader, infrastructure or consensus for rebuilding, according to interviews with more than a dozen organizers, former lawmakers, donors and other leaders.
The Post's Sabrina Rodriguez and Michael Scherer report that these factors have compounded their worries about Democrats outside Florida all but writing off the nation's third most populous state, which was once seen as a marquee battleground. Per our colleagues:
Democrats have struggled there in recent elections, hitting a new low last fall when Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis won a second term by nearly 20 points and carried majority-Hispanic Miami-Dade County, which a GOP gubernatorial nominee hadn't done in 20 years. Republicans also secured a supermajority in the state legislature.
Now, as Democrats look to 2024, there are few early signs that Florida will be a top priority for President Biden, who has said he intends to run for reelection. A Biden adviser, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe strategy, said decisions about whether a reelection campaign would invest in Florida would be based in part on the Republican nominee. Some Democrats see little hope of contesting Florida's 30 electoral votes — only Texas and California are allotted more — in 2024 if DeSantis is the nominee, while there's a greater opportunity if former president Donald Trump wins the GOP nod.

8:07 AM: This just in: Gallego announces run for Ariz. Senate seat held by Sinema
Rep. Ruben Gallego (D) announced Monday he will run for Senate in Arizona, setting up a potential three-way race in the battleground state in 2024 that poses a threat to Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, who recently left the Democratic Party to become an independent.
The Post's Liz Goodwin and Marianna Sotomayor report that Gallego, a Marine veteran who has served in the House since 2015, announced his candidacy in a video in English and Spanish that stressed his military service and experience growing up as a first-generation American. Per our colleagues:
“The rich and the powerful, they don't need more advocates,” Gallego said in the video, which shows him addressing veterans at Guadalupe American Legion Post 124. “It's the people that are still trying to decide between groceries and utilities that need a fighter for them.”
Gallego also took direct aim at Sinema in a statement, saying she “abandoned Arizona” and has “repeatedly broken her promises, and fought for the interests of big pharma and Wall Street at our expense.”
Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck was the top lobbying firm in Washington last year by lobbying revenue, according to figures shared with our colleagues at The Early 202 ahead of Friday's fourth-quarter deadline for filing disclosures. The firm brought in $61.6 million last year, up from $56.5 million in 2021.
Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld was the second-highest-grossing firm, with $53.1 million in lobbying revenue. The Post's Theodoric Meyer and Leigh Ann Caldwell write:
The past few years have been boom times for K Street, with strong demand for lobbyists as Congress crafted enormous aid packages in the early months of the coronavirus pandemic followed by another bonanza after Biden took office and worked to pass an ambitious agenda.
Lobbyists say there's still plenty of reason to hire them this year despite divided government, including appropriations, the farm bill, legislation to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration and the bipartisan committee to investigate China.
“People making the assumption nothing is going happen over the next two years might be making a mistake,” former House speaker John A. Boehner, now a senior strategic adviser at the law and lobbying firm Squire Patton Boggs, said in a statement.
Lobbying firms prepared for the new Congress by hiring former top leadership aides, with Akin Gump bringing on Reggie Babin, a former chief counsel to Schumer, and Brownstein snagging Will Dunham, a former McCarthy deputy chief of staff.

7:22 AM: The latest: Even after New Mexico shootings, little GOP reckoning over election denialism
Republican officials in New Mexico knew that Solomon Peña, the man police accused last week of orchestrating shootings into the homes of four Albuquerque Democrats, had served nearly seven years in prison for his role in smash-and-grab thefts before he lost his bid as the GOP nominee for a state House seat.
They also knew that Peña was a fervent proponent of the view that the 2020 presidential election was rigged, The Post's Amy Gardner and Dan Rosenzweig-Ziff write. Per our colleagues:
Authorities said Peña was persuaded that his own election in November had been stolen — despite being defeated by nearly 50 points — and targeted the homes of officials who refused to entertain demands that his loss be reversed.
After Peña's arrest, Republican leaders condemned the attacks, which included a spray of bullets into a 10-year-old's bedroom, and acknowledged that the former candidate's criminal history should have been a red flag. There was far less apparent interest in a reckoning over Peña's beliefs in widespread voter fraud, a false theory pushed relentlessly by former president Donald Trump and his supporters.
The attacks may have been heinous, top Republicans insisted, but the party's embrace of election denialism was not the core problem.

7:00 AM: On our radar: Border bill thwarted amid backlash from moderate House Republicans
House Republicans' attempt to bring a border security bill to the floor as early as this week was thwarted after backlash from more moderate Republicans, delaying not only a pledge that Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) made to a handful of lawmakers but also the fulfillment of a key campaign promise to a Republican base eager for tougher immigration laws.
The Post's Marianna Sotomayor and Theodoric Meyer report that the bill, introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Tex.) and co-sponsored by 58 Republicans, would empower the Homeland Security secretary — Alejandro Mayorkas — to unilaterally bar all undocumented migrants from entering the United States through any point of entry if the secretary deems it necessary to reestablish “operational control” of the border. Per our colleagues:
If immigration agencies cannot, for any reason, process undocumented migrants according to legal procedures, a similar response by the secretary would be required. If the secretary does not follow through, the bill would provide state attorneys general the authority to sue the federal government.
But the scope of the three-page bill has rattled dozens of House Republicans, many of whom worry it would prevent migrants and unaccompanied children fleeing violence from seeking asylum in the United States — a traditionally protected tenet of the country's immigration laws. Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Tex.), who represents the largest stretch of the US-Mexico border of any lawmaker, is one of two Republicans who have taken the lead in opposing the bill.
Republicans can only afford to lose four votes to pass any legislation through their razor-thin majority without help from Democrats. The margin recently decreased to three after Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) suffered injuries after a fall last week, making it unclear when he could return to Washington.

6:42 AM: On our radar: Jeff Zients to be Biden's next chief of staff
President Biden will name Jeff Zients to serve as his next chief of staff, turning to a management consultant who oversaw the administration's coronavirus response to replace Ron Klain, who is expected to leave in the coming weeks, according to four people familiar with the decision.
The Post's Tyler Pager and Yasmeen Abutaleb note that Zients left the White House in April after steering the administration's pandemic response and leading the largest vaccination campaign in US history. Per our colleagues:
He returned to the White House in the fall to help Klain prepare for staff turnover after the midterms — a project that was ultimately limited in scope, as few senior staff members have left across the administration.
But, in recent weeks, Klain has assigned him different projects, which some viewed as preparing Zients for the top role, people familiar with the arrangement said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters.
Klain is expected to step down in the weeks after the State of the Union on Feb. 7, in what will be the first major departure from Biden's inner circle.

6:39 AM: Take a look: On the Sunday shows, talk of raising the debt ceiling
Congress debates approach to debt ceiling
UP NEXT
On the Sunday talk shows, lawmakers from both parties discussed the standoff over the debt ceiling, with most Democrats saying no conditions should be attached to the legislation and Republicans calling for spending cuts in exchange for their support. A notable exception was Sen. Joe Manchin III (DW.Va.), who said negotiations are reasonable in a divided Congress.
The Post's Blair Guild pulled together the highlights above.
6:29 AM: Noted: Trump team struggles to consolidate support ahead of SC event
Advisers to Donald Trump have blanketed South Carolina Republican officials with pleading phone calls in recent weeks in an effort to drum up endorsements and attendees for the former president's first campaign swing of the 2024 cycle next week.
But the appeals have run headlong into a complicated new reality: Many of the state's lawmakers and political operatives, and even some of his previous supporters, are not ready to pick a presidential candidate, The Post's Michael Scherer and Josh Dawsey report. Per our colleagues:
They find themselves divided between their support for Trump, their desire for a competitive nomination fight in the state and their allegiance to two South Carolina natives, former governor Nikki Haley and Sen. Tim Scott, who have taken steps to challenge Trump for the nomination. Both are said by people close to them to be seriously considering a bid, and Haley is expected to announce in the coming weeks, South Carolina operatives said.
The result foretells a Trump launch event in the early primary state — with an expected endorsement by Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (RS.C.) and a reaffirmation of support from Gov. Henry McMaster (R) — that positions the former president as a serious contender but stops short of demonstrating the dominance that he once enjoyed.

6:28 AM: Noted: California's strict gun laws don't eliminate violence, but they have helped
California has a reputation as a tough place to buy a gun.
It's home to mandatory waiting periods and background checks for firearms purchases. It bans military-style assault weapons, one of just eight states, plus DC, with such a law. And in 2016, it became one of the first states to pass a red-flag law, which allows authorities to remove firearms from someone believed to be a danger to themselves or others.
California's patchwork of gun laws has been judged the strongest in the nation by the gun-control advocacy group Giffords.
The Post's Scott Wilson and Todd C. Frankel write that Saturday night's horrific mass killing at a Monterey Park dance hall, however, shows how the state's strict gun laws are incapable of fully preventing gun violence in a country where gun ownership is widely considered a constitutionally protected right, firearms move freely between states with vastly different regulations, and gun-control measures are dotted with exceptions. Per our colleagues:
Yet California's problem with gun violence does remain significantly smaller than in most other states, which advocates credit to the rules that are on the books.
Authorities had not said Sunday afternoon how the gunman in the mass killing obtained his weapon or what kind of firearm was used.
California's more stringent gun safety measures stemmed from an explosion of shootings decades ago, including the 1989 slaughter of children in a Stockton schoolyard and a 1993 mass killing in a law office in downtown San Francisco.

Director Nicole Holofcener has long been one of our great chroniclers of everyday detail, someone willing to marry the funny with the honest, the creative doing mischievous things, for better or for worse. In his first film in a decade – he has made several TV shows in recent years and in 2018 directed and wrote an adaptation of Ted Thompson's "The Land of Steady Habits" – Holofcener returns to classic territory: the story of New York City. The neurosis, good intentions and rejection that keep us up at night. It's about love, of course.
And even though "You Hurt My Feelings" lacks all the things that Holofencer does so well – that honesty, that understanding of the structure of everyday life, that Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the spotlight, where it belongs – it turns out to be. Restrained for such a smart exhaust. The twists are nice enough and there are plenty of laughs and ideas here, but nothing new. If you like Nicole Holofcener's movies, you'll like this one, and there's some comfort in it, if not a hint of despair.
Of
Of
Perhaps this is intentional, since "comfortable but a little underwhelming" often epitomizes the state of long-term relationships in Holofcener's films (and, er, life itself), which is exactly what "You Hurt My Feelings" does. . Beth (Louis-Dreyfus) is a middle-class writer who also gives writing lessons, while her husband, Don (Tobias Menzies), is a therapist who spends his days helping New Yorkers with lessons. (Don't ask how they pay for their nice Manhattan apartment, especially when we're told over and over that Beth's books aren't selling well enough, but at least it creates a nice atmosphere.)
Their son Elliot (albeit idealistic Owen Teague) is trying to become a writer when he's not working at a local hardware store and trying to figure out why he doesn't like his invisible girlfriend anymore. and Beth's sister, Sarah (Mikaela Watkins, also excellent), is bored with her interior decorating job while her husband, Mark (Ariane Moayed), interferes with her unsuccessful acting career. Everyone is happy and their lives swing between love and work, with little else in between.
The central incident of the film – Beth learns from Don that Mark doesn't like his new book because he's struggling to get it published – is no secret. It's long been intended to be a full-length synopsis for the film, and the moment that unfolds is as poignant and terrifying as it should be. Louis-Dreyfus is devastated by the confession, and the actress brings out the full range of emotions Beth feels afterward.
But Holofcener also weaves in other revelations where someone learns a shocking truth about themselves that adds texture to Beth's great pain. Most of these events happen to Don, who, oddly enough, has another bombshell to deal with in the midst of his marital problems: he's a terrible therapist. (The couple, Amber Tamblyn and David Cross, often appear as an argumentative couple through Don, and Zack Cherry is another patient tired of Don's inability to really help.) Don is no longer alone. The one that makes Beth feel bad about her job. Even his agent doesn't like him, and the strange group of aspiring writers who teach at the New School don't even know the title of his most famous book.
Everything seems so real, so close, so familiar. It's not always good. Even moviegoers accustomed to Holofcener films might expect everything to shift into another gear, but it never does, it moves slowly, wears and darkens like an old sweater, never fades .
Other concerns are easily identifiable. Alors que Louis-Dreyfus and Watkins sont très crédibles en tant que sœurs (avec en prime Jeannie Berlin jouant sa mère préférée), d'autres Couples n'ont pas de sensi, come Watkins et Moayed (the couple's plus sent like meilleurs amis que des partners de longue date). comfortable).
Again, maybe that disconnect is the point, but in the moments where the film really shines, there's clearly more clever stuff going on beneath the surface. But Holofcener is also proud of the things that make his work so much fun: the endless walks and conversations in the city, the right costumes and sets for the characters, and the quick editing they do (watch out for Alisa Lepselter). LOL – and "You Hurt My Feelings" is full of all that stuff. Let's hope it hurts a little more.

"You Hurt My Feelings" premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival. It will be released this year by A24.

Deborah Barrack, one of the most popular, influential and popular television presenters of the past three decades, died today, January 21, after a long battle with cancer. He is 65 years old.
It's been two years since Barrack left CBS at the end of 2020. During his 35 years with the company, as President of Business Operations, he created negotiation templates and implemented business models that have become industry standards. An experienced negotiator respected by his peers, Barrack – known to all as Debbie – has led high-profile network and studio negotiations. He brings great talent and makes deals in the most chaotic situations while keeping cool under pressure.
Behind his steely, humble and shy exterior, Barack has a great sense of humor. He has also been a great mentor to many industry professionals who are carrying on his legacy today.
"Debbie has been a great mentor and friend to many of us at CBS," said David Stapf, president of CBS Studios and Bark's colleague and longtime friend. “He's the one everyone looks to for advice and guidance, both professionally and personally. They always leave the office a little smarter and emotionally stronger. There has never been anyone more loved, admired and respected at CBS and in our business as a whole.
"Debbie is a rare person who is part scary, very smart and very compassionate," Stepf added. He is my partner, my best friend and what makes me a better person.
During his time at CBS, Barrack developed the business framework for the network to create an in-house production division and oversee the studio's work on original series, CBS' current production of the documentary series Rescue 911 , and the emotional drama Angel , while also rebranding CBS. Studios with 75 episodes.
In addition to his role in the program's initial entry into CBS ownership, Barak helped develop the business plan and lead negotiations to transition CBS' late-night properties from lease to full ownership. He negotiated talent and production deals for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Late Show with James Corden .
Barracks helped create CBS' original summer series business model through the network's low licensing fees and SVOD time slot. It has been used for series such as The Dome Under, Extant, Zoo and BrainDead. He also created the royal family structure for CBS All Access original series such as Star Trek: Discovery.
Barack has managed license renewals for network series, including long-term renewals for specialty franchises such as The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men and The Late Show with David Letterman , as well as the Grammy Awards. , Kennedy Center Honors and Academy of Country Music Awards. In 2000, he developed the Survivor record deal, which became the model for the true talent contract. Most recently, Barack negotiated the acquisition of CBS's stake in Capital Entertainment and a long-term distribution and co-production deal with Imagine Entertainment. He represented CBS on the CW board and oversaw Paramount+'s previous CBS All Access deal.
"He was respected and admired across the media spectrum. He was wise, forceful and fair to all. His business acumen and subtle negotiating skills were matched by his humanity and grace," said producer Nina Tassler, former programming director and former president of CBS. during his tenure in the entertainment industry. Working with him for over 20 years has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Her great intelligence, coupled with her deep appreciation for artists, has earned Debbie world-class fame.
"As an advisor and friend to many, DB is essential to the network's success," he continued. Above all, his moral compass is treating everyone with grace and dignity.
Barak joined CBS in 1985 as Broadcast Advisor for the station's West Coast Legal Department. He was promoted to SVP, Business Planning and Special Projects and played a key role in negotiating new media deals and partnership agreements. SVP, Corporate Affairs, CBS Entertainment; EVP, Business Affairs, CBS Network Television Entertainment Group; EVP, Operations, CBS Network Television Entertainment Group; And finally, in 2015, he was appointed President of Business Operations.
When Barack announced his retirement at the end of January 2020, he wanted to start a new chapter in his career and focus on non-profit organizations, an area in which he was heavily involved. His services include serving as head of the Adt Ariel School, Unistream and the Israel Policy Forum, among others. Barack is also open to other opportunities, including serving on the board and planning to spend time with his grandchildren.
An epidemic cut short his last year at CBS, and his illness destroyed many plans for the future.

The collaboration has supported some impactful innovations in recent years. For example, rapid development of a covid vaccine can only be achieved through collaboration.
Through Pfizer's rapid collaboration with BioEntech, the first vaccine was developed. By creating an ecosystem approach to collaboration, Pfizer can quickly connect with external partners to help them develop this revolutionary innovation.
However, cooperation is important not only in times of crisis. There is growing recognition in the life sciences community that an ecological approach is essential to providing the innovative solutions the world needs.
According to innovation expert Arthur Little, “The hyper-collaborative world is based on the fundamental belief that innovation ecosystems, not individual companies, will provide the new solutions that await.
Collaboration and innovation obviously go hand in hand, but there is a third aspect to consider. We must remember that these communities are made up of individuals – the ecosystem is built on talent.
Change of working methods
Across industries, we are seeing significant changes in the way we work and retain talent. For example, 97% of life sciences companies plan to implement hybrid work models in the post-pandemic period. And when employees come to the office or laboratory, they now have certain goals, one of which is to strengthen relationships, expand networks and create important connections. It is important to create an environment where academic organizations meet the needs of employees and where collaboration naturally develops.
This means there is now a golden triangle of community, innovation and employee experience that drives success. How to achieve this?
Cooperation, innovation and creativity in the life sciences
The collaboration boom is changing the way we work. For example, Verizon, IBM and Microsoft are using co-working spaces to support innovation and the exchange of ideas, while Google and Facebook have invested in corporate workspaces. According to a study by Trent University, "Co-working spaces have great potential to promote open innovation." Meanwhile, the Harvard Business Review tracked employees who worked in alternative office spaces and found that they performed better than traditional offices.
Working together has many benefits. Organic networks can be powerful. Intimacy, coffee breaks, and social events encourage quiet conversations. It's natural to work with a professional from another organization through impromptu meetings and discussions that can be conducted from anywhere.
Vacancies can provide the necessary formal and informal exchange between scientists and entrepreneurs. Meetings with researchers and partner networks can help accelerate research development. These relationships can initiate future collaborations and open doors to new funding or launch opportunities.
Communication is not just about generating ideas; This is important for good health. In fact, Ergonomic Trends reported that 83% of people feel lonely after coming to work, and 89% said that the change made them happier. With the advent of remote work, creating a separate space for human connection and interaction is more important than ever. Research at Stanford University shows that teamwork boosts motivation and leads to higher engagement, burnout, and higher levels of achievement. Collaboration "turns work into play," the researchers said.
Creating a unique collaborative ecosystem
Working together is indicative of collaboration and therefore innovation. Life science organizations need dedicated campuses to work together. It is not enough to provide socially designed spaces. First of all, very specialized facilities are needed, from laboratories and cleaning rooms to special storage areas. A skilled operator is needed to design, manage, and maintain the physical spaces required by scientists.
However, the development of cooperative cities is much more than bricks and mortar. For example, a study from the University of Trento shows that events are considered more important aspects of cooperation than space and place because they are "vehicles of cooperation dynamics".
The goal of joint operators is to create the right environment for innovation, which requires deep knowledge of how innovation works, especially in specific areas such as life sciences. Collaborative life science communities need the right environment, the right participants, and the right education to achieve the level of collaboration needed to succeed.
Often, owners and operators provide a place to work together and wait for a community to develop, but building a community is an intentional process.
For example, members of a cooperative must support each other. You need the right mix of organizations in all sectors to have a healthy ecosystem. Start-ups should be from established companies, knowledge institutions and specialized support services such as recruitment or communication.
Digital health
A strict gate policy is essential for unique co-op campuses to keep potential connections relevant and of high quality. However, in today's innovation landscape, this does not mean excluding other complementary partners. For example, the rise of digital health means that it is becoming increasingly important to connect traditional life science organizations with data innovation startups and AI technologies.
Joint operators should carefully select tenants and external partners to create opportunities for knowledge and resource sharing and collaboration. From R&D partnerships to financial investments, proximity to the right organizations can open doors and spur innovation.
Knowledge-intensive organizations need more than just jobs. They need community and cooperation. The influence of a carefully developed society on scientific progress should not be underestimated. After all, every person is important in society. By providing social spaces where innovation can flourish, we can now offer the best of all worlds through purposeful hybrid work focused on creating collaborative innovations that change lives.

Fans of That '70s Show weren't sure what to expect when news broke that Netflix was producing a spin-off titled That '90s Show , which premiered on January 19, 2023. However, positive reviews quickly proved that this new series was the perfect touch. Nostalgic viewers needed it after all these years. Lead actors Topher Grace, Laura Prepon, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher and Wilmer Valderrama are the main cast, while cute parenting duo Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp are part of the main cast. So, has this '90s show been renewed for a second season?

what is the 90s show
The 2023 series focuses on Donna and Eric's daughter, Leah Foreman. (Eric's enthusiasm for Star Wars is no coincidence with his name.) Leah visited her grandparents Red and Kitty on July 4 in Point Place, Wisconsin, but decided to stay for the summer to meet his new friends Gwen, Ozzie, Nicky, and Nate and Jay, who is also his son. , catch. Michael Kelso and Jackie Burkhart.
Leah and Gwen become best friends, while the main character also takes a liking to the town villain Jay. After getting a taste of teenage fun with her new friends, Leah had a hard time leaving Wisconsin when she and Jay started dating.
Will That '90s Show have a second season?
The series became the most-watched show on Netflix the weekend after its release, which is a positive sign. However, it's still too early for the streaming giant to decide whether to renew the show for a second season.
What did the cast of 'That '70s Show' say about the presentation?
During a July 2022 interview with Variety , Ashton explained how he and his wife "considered" returning to the small-town show. However, they eventually decided to give it a try and credited That '70s Show for their success.

Mila was also excited about the spin-off, telling the outlet at the time, "Anyone who saw or liked that '70s show would be very happy with it."
Why didn't Hyde appear on That '90s Show?
Actor Danny Masterson is the only original actor not to appear or be credited for the new show due to the rape allegations against him. He was indicted in July 2020 after a three-year investigation on three counts of rape and accused of raping a woman in 2001 and two others in 2003. His trial took place in November 2022, but he was declared invalid after the jury. did not show up. to make the decision. Jury selection for the actor's retrial is scheduled for March 29, 2023.
LONDON (Reuters) – Britons spend big on energy-efficient appliances during the Christmas shopping season, but shun computers and TVs as they face a cost-of-living crunch, electronics retailer Karis said Wednesday.
The group said like-for-like revenue at its UK and Ireland businesses fell 5% in the 10 weeks to January 7, partly reflecting the higher levels of sales seen over the past two years, which have been hit hard by the pandemic.
But he defended his financial outlook for the full year and saw his shares up 8% in morning trading, trimming losses to 38% over the past year.
"It's not been a great trading season for technology vendors, for example the PC and TV markets are in quite a tough spot," chief executive Alex Baldock told reporters, adding that demand for smart technology was also weak.
"In contrast, we are getting good results on (home) appliances and mobile devices," he said, noting very strong demand for energy-efficient appliances.
He said grill sales were up 500% year over year, while microwave sales were up 30%. Sales of heat pump dryers and energy efficient washing machines were also strong.
"In many cases, consumers are actually trading in a more expensive washing machine instead of a computer, for example, while many consumers are trading in a more expensive laptop," he said.
He said that demand for television did not increase during the World Cup.
"On television we haven't seen the number of changes (cycles) that we did in more prosperous times," he said.
Currys last month reported a significant first-half loss and slashed its 2022-23 profit forecast, blaming a slowdown in a northern market that has faced price cuts from rivals.
On Wednesday, Karis pointed to a further decline in trade in the Nordic countries.
Profits at the UK and Ireland businesses were better than expected due to higher gross margins and cost savings, he said.
But international profit was below forecast, reflecting a 10 percent drop in sales at its Nordic business and continued pressure on gross margins.
The group said it still expects adjusted pre-tax profits of 100-125 million pounds ($123-154 million) for 2022-2023, up from 186 million pounds in 2021-22.

A group of 10 universities, led by the University of California, San Diego, is committing $50.5 million to dramatically improve the speed and efficiency of computers.
The consortium, which includes schools such as Stanford and UCLA, is focused on developing next-generation computer chips and software. Both are needed, among other things, to quickly move data from storage sources to the processor.
"Currently, it takes an average of 6.5 years and a lot of computing power to figure out which drug compounds should be tested in clinical trials," said Tajana Šimunić Rosing, professor of computer engineering at UCSD. Lead the project.
"We plan to shorten this time frame so that drug discovery takes days rather than years and the results are more accurate."
North Carolina-based Semiconductor Research Corporation will provide $35 million in funding that will connect industry, government and academia on major projects. The rest comes from the schools participating in the project.
UCSD has been given a leadership role, as it is one of the largest processing and development centers in the country. The campus is home to the San Diego Supercomputing Center, the Halicioglu Institute for Information Science, and the Jacob School of Engineering, which has nearly 10,000 students.
The university recently opened a $180 million research center focused on chip development. That quest received a boost from the Biden administration in August, which passed a $52 billion chip design bill aimed at making companies in the global semiconductor industry more competitive. The law specifically aims to help the United States compete with China.

As 2023 begins, following a trend professionals in The Woodlands, Texas and the greater Houston area are just beginning to see, some are seeing a number of announcements from companies relocating or expanding their presence in the region, including some from California.
According to the Woodlands Area Economic Development Partnership, as of 2019, The Woodlands saw changes across employment sectors as energy companies reduced their presence or moved out of the area and healthcare employment increased as businesses expanded.
Economic experts in the region note that these factors, as well as factors such as a favorable business environment, have increased the attractiveness of the region for many foreign companies, especially in the life sciences sector.
A 2022 study by Stanford University's Hoover Institution found that at least 132 businesses moved from California to Texas in 2018-21.
That's more than four times the second-highest number of actions in California, Tennessee, which had 31 corporate actions.
Gil Staley, chairman of The Woodlands Area EDP, said interest from science and technology companies is creating new businesses in the area that George Mitchell and The Woodlands founders originally envisioned for such companies.
"We see this as a rebirth of the research forest [corridor]," Staley said.
In 2022, two California life sciences companies announced they will relocate their headquarters or establish a presence in The Woodlands.
Cellipont Bioservices, which develops and manufactures cell therapies for other companies, opened a 76,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in November at 9501 Lakeside Blvd.
Work also began in late December on a suite for Nurix Therapeutics at 8800 Technology Forest Place as part of a larger life science complex.
Joel Marcus, CEO and founder of Alexandria Real Estate Equities Inc., the California-based company developing the complex, said the campus will be about 318,000 square feet when complete.
The first phase will be completed in the first quarter of 2023.
"There will be nothing like this in Houston, on a uniquely safe and accessible campus," Marcus said.
field of life sciences
In an area once home to energy companies like Anadarko, the energy sector's share of non-retail jobs among large employers has fallen from 27% to 8% since 2019. By the beginning of 2022, healthcare accounted for more than 30%. According to The Woodlands Area EDP.
This growth in health care is part of what makes the region attractive for life sciences, said Kathy Pryor, chief development officer and senior vice president of membership for the Greater Houston Partnership, the region's future events hub.Houston Dec. 12. 13.
"Increased interest in economic development in the region, particularly in Montgomery County, has recently created tremendous opportunities for innovation and growth in the industrial and technology sectors," Pryor said at the event.
California-based companies have taken note, and Deborah Wilde, president and CEO of Cellipont, said The Woodlands is a good fit for the company, both financially and logistically.
"We did a regional analysis … and found that economically the wooded area is a great location for workers," Wilde said. "When schools are good, staff stay longer. This is a beautiful and safe place."
Stella Vnuk, Cellipon's chief scientific officer, said the area is ideal for companies like Cellipon because of its proximity to the Texas Medical Center and Houston-area airports, as well as its growing scientific research and innovation community.
Texas is also a central location within the country and an important factor in the rapid transport of sensitive biological materials over long distances.
"A lot of innovation is coming from the Texas region. … It is very important for us to further develop and expand cell therapy in this very important region,” said Vnuk.
Wilde said the company has 70 employees in San Diego, and although some executives will relocate, most of the new hires will be local. Once fully completed, he plans to add a manufacturing component to the site, which will employ about 200 people, he said.
A larger complex is planned for the Technology Forest location, formerly occupied by Lexicon Pharmaceuticals and moving to Technology Forest Boulevard.
The former 260,000-square-foot campus will be transformed into a life sciences campus that will offer more than 300,000 square feet of office and laboratory space, as well as meeting rooms, a fitness center and courts, according to Sarah Kabakoff. . . Vice President of Strategic Communications, Alexandria.
“We chose The Woodlands to redesign and develop a unique, mission-critical, multi-tenant, co-working campus under the Alexandria brand that will bring to the Houston area market a highly convenient and secure workspace for the first time: a vibrant environment for life. sciences and other advanced technology companies, Marcus said in an email.
The first company to announce plans to lease space in the area is San Francisco-based Nurix Therapeutics. According to The Woodlands Area EDP, the company held a groundbreaking ceremony for the project on December 13. According to Alexandria, the company is working on protein modulation for cancer treatment. The company will operate its own research and development facility in the country.
national interests
Jim Carman, president of The Howard Hughes Corp.'s Houston region, said 33 businesses plan to relocate or expand within their leases in The Woodlands by 2020, representing more than 500,000 square feet of office space and 2,000 new residents. works. after.
Howard Hughes leases space on the 31st and 32nd floors of The Woodlands Towers to The Waterway, formerly Anadarko Towers, which it purchased in late 2019.
The tower at 9950 Woodloch Forest Drive will house several new corporate headquarters or offices, including Obagi Cosmeceuticals, which is moving from California, and Centric Infrastructure Group, which is moving from The Woodlands. New York cryptocurrency firm NYDIG is also setting up office space there.
"Over the past few years, we've definitely seen a diversification of our client organizations," Carman said. "One of the most interesting ones is really some of the companies in the renewable business space."
These companies include Lancium Technologies, which is moving from Texas to an entire floor of The Woodlands Towers in 2022. The company works with renewable energy infrastructure and technology.
Other tech companies moving from The Woodlands include SmartDraw Software, which is moving from California to Hughes Landing in 2022, and chemicals and pharmaceuticals company SI Group, which is moving from New York in the fall, according to Howard Hughes Of.
Although many companies are moving to remote work, the need for office space is still great, Carman said. Office leasing in The Woodlands was more resilient than in the greater Houston area during the third quarter, with The Woodlands having a 23.3% vacancy rate of 16.6%, according to real estate brokerage Colliers.
Businesses moving to The Woodlands are also drawn to the community's proximity to jobs and services, he said.
"These companies' real estate needs haven't changed significantly. They need the same square footage," Karman said. “The difference is more focus on comfort. When our employees come to the office, we give them more reasons to be there than just a paycheck and a desk.
Prepare future employees
Companies moving to The Woodlands will primarily hire locally, Staley said.
"They want to see a very well-trained workforce to hire," Staley said.
According to the Census Bureau's 2021 American Community Survey Five-Year Estimates, 64.3 percent of Woodlands residents age 25 and older have a bachelor's degree or higher, compared to the national average of 33.7 percent.
According to him, the presence of companies in new fields, such as life sciences, can also help advance educational programs.
Staley said EDP plans to begin discussions with the Lone Star College System in early 2023 to discuss life science programs.
LSCS deputy director Linda Head said plans could include courses for medical labs and production technicians, as well as cleanroom courses and continuing education for employees.
"We're working very quickly to design the right programs and labs and change what we need to be ready in about six months," Head said.
