We've all had those moments—when a casual chat with your boss starts with the weather and somehow ends with you oversharing a little too much. Maybe you’re bonding over a recent trip, or letting them in on a long-term goal of yours...but then before you know it, things end up taking a turn and getting a lot more personal than you intended. While it may feel good to connect on a deeper level, there’s a fine line between having a friendly conversation and sharing way too much information. Because even though it’s completely normal to open up to friends and family , when it comes to your boss, some topics should stay off the table—no matter how close your relationship is. Finding the right balance between being personable and maintaining professional boundaries is key. After all, while you want to show your boss you’re human, you also want to ensure that your work dynamic remains respectful and focused. Crossing those lines, even unintentionally, can shift how you’re perceived in the office —sometimes in ways that are difficult to reverse. And that’s something you definitely want to avoid. If you’re someone who tends to be an open book and struggles with knowing what’s appropriate to say to your boss, you’re not alone—many people have trouble figuring out where to draw the line. That’s why we reached out to psychologists Raquel Martin , Ayanna Abrams , Rachel Goldman and Tristin Engels to get some insight on the topic. Together, they break down the surprising things people think are alright to bring up to their boss, but really aren’t. Find out why these topics aren’t appropriate to bring up at work, as well as some tips on how you can filter yourself so you won’t end up having a conversation with your boss that might cross professional boundaries.

Your Personal Finances “Sometimes people share financial needs with their boss in an effort to seek a raise; but this could yield resentment for you if your employer is aware of your situation and still doesn’t offer you an increased compensation,” Abrams says. Engles brings up another point, saying, “By disclosing personal financial details to your boss, they might also end up making promotional decisions or decisions regarding your work hours that are based directly on that information, which could lead to forms of discrimination or put you at risk of exploitation.” 2. Relationship Problems Even if your boss casually asks you something about your relationship, that doesn’t mean you need to disclose everything that’s going on to them. “Discussing relationship problems with your boss can be risky for several reasons,” Engles tells Parade . “Firstly, it crosses professional boundaries and can impact your professional image. What you share can also be misperceived by your boss and can affect the way in which they view you. When that happens and biases are formed, there is an increased risk of disparate treatment. Your boss is there to support you in completing the essential functions of your job—if your relationship is affecting your productivity, it’s important you ask your boss for what you need as a solution for that impairment (such as time off), but you are not required to disclose specific details as to why you need support.” Related: This One Common Habit Is Actually Holding You Back, According to a Psychologist—Here's Why 3. Frustrations About Someone You Dislike “You should avoid gossiping to your boss because you want to maintain a professional relationship and be viewed as a team player,” Goldman explains. Abrams agrees, adding, “Having venting sessions with your boss can make you appear emotionally dysregulated and dramatic.” 4. Your Partner’s Promotions While it’s completely normal to be proud of your significant other, bringing up their promotion or new job title to your boss in a casual conversation can actually hurt the chance of you being considered for those things at your office. “People shouldn’t share information with their boss about their partner’s promotion or if they have come into a lump sum because your boss may consciously or subconsciously use that as a reason to determine that you don’t ‘need’ a promotion,” Abrams warns. 5. Insecurities You’re Experiencing “Talking about personal insecurities with your boss that are not related to work (such as body image) should be reserved for close friends, family or licensed professionals,” Engels explains. “Your boss is not hired, nor equipped, to manage these insecurities and disclosing them can potentially cause you to appear less competent, damage your professional image, and impact your professional advancement.” Related: Therapists Are Begging Individuals To 'Immediately Stop' Using These 2 Common Body Image Phrases 6. Personal Information When it comes to your boss, you have to remember that that’s what they are first and foremost—even if you have a close bond with them. That means that you shouldn’t share personal stories with them, like you would your best friends. “Unfortunately, once lines are blurred between personal and professional relationships, it can feel difficult to reset a boundary with your boss,” Abrams points out. 7. Every Detail of Your Marriage Issues “If you are going through a separation or a divorce and you feel like it’s getting in the way of you performing your best, you can share that concern with your boss and share with them some information regarding what you are going through, but they don’t need to know the nitty gritty details,” Goldman states. “Depending on what you’re disclosing, you also want to be mindful of the way you share it, because there’s a right time and place, and there's also inappropriate ones.” 8. If You’re in Therapy Even though therapy is more widely spoken about now and is looked at as a good thing by a lot of people, that doesn’t mean you should reveal to your boss that you’re going to sessions each week and why. “It is simply not your boss’ business whether you are in therapy or not,” Engels explains. “If you have a recurring therapy appointment that requires you to leave work, you must advise your boss that you have a recurring medical appointment, but you do not need to provide details beyond that.” 8. Your Intimate Encounters “You should never talk to your boss about your sexual relationships,” Martin tells Parade . “It will likely make your boss uncomfortable and can even be seen as if you’re flirting with them.” Besides that, Engles shares that doing so can potentially result in you getting reported to HR, explaining, “Discussing your dating life with your boss has the potential to cross professional boundaries and depending on what details are disclosed, it can be perceived as a form of sexual harassment or overfamiliarity.” 9. Drama in Your Life There’s no denying that everyone has their own version of drama that they are dealing with in some form or another. However, letting your boss in on what that is can cause them to think that you’re dealing with too much to take on bigger roles at work. “Sharing details about any problems you’re having with your boss can impact how they view your decision making skills or emotional intelligence and make them worry about how that is impacting you at work,” Abrams notes.

Your Health “I tend to recommend to my clients that they are mindful of what they disclose and share with their boss,” Goldman reveals. “For instance, if someone is going to have a procedure and needs to take time off for recovery, they need to share some basic information, but does your boss really need to know the specific details? Probably not. It’s best to avoid discussing sensitive topics and oversharing specifics of anything too personal because you don’t want to be in a position where your boss can use any of this information against you in any future situation.” 11. Your Political and Religious Views “Talking about religion or politics in the workplace can cause division, alienation, feelings of oppression and cultivate a negative work environment,” Engels says. “It’s best to avoid these topics not just with your boss, but with anyone in the workplace.” Abrams seconds that and adds, “Sometimes, speaking about those things can even cause people to cast judgments that can bleed into how you work together and at times make them question if they can trust your decision-making skills.” 12. Dates You’ve Been On No matter how tight you and your boss are, there are areas in your life that need to be left outside the office, like discussing how a blind date over the weekend went. “Offering information about your personal romantic pursuits can be seen as unprofessional in a work setting, especially depending on how detailed what you’re sharing is,” Abrams notes. “Your boss may even end up viewing you differently, which can impact how they relate to you.” Related: 22 Surprising Habits That Make You 'Instantly Unlikable,' Psychologists Warn 13. Past Trauma “Whatever you disclose to your boss should be work-related,” Engles says. “If you had a past trauma that requires reasonable accommodation on the job, it’s important to disclose only the relevant and necessary aspects of that trauma to obtain the accommodations you need. Think of it as a ‘need and right to know’ rule. Anything beyond that blurs boundaries and can lead to misjudgment, stigma, or discrimination. Your boss is not a treatment provider, and becoming overfamiliar can cause a fracture in the professional relationship.” 14. Your Social Media Just because you’re on TikTok and Instagram, doesn’t mean you have to tell your boss your handle or ask them to follow you. Because while doing so may be your way to try to bond with them, it also gives them insight to your life outside of the office, which can lead to assumptions, judgments or uncomfortable situations that can affect your dynamic at work. “It’s important to separate your work life from your personal life as much as possible,” Engels suggests. “Should you choose to have public social media accounts, you should be mindful of what you post and if it will affect your professional image at work. There have been many individuals who have been terminated for posting content online that violates company policy or causes negative press to the employer. That being said, keeping your personal life out of your professional life is a good rule of thumb across the board.” Related: 15 Phrases to Politely End a Conversation, According to Psychologists How To Develop a Filter Sometimes filtering yourself at work can be hard, which is why our experts have a couple of tips that can help you out if you’re usually a person who overshares without meaning to. 1. Set Boundaries “ It’s important to set boundaries overall,” Martin explains. “You have to realize the difference between boundaries and rules with your boss and know that boundaries are in place to guide your behavior, while rules attempt to dictate someone else’s. Applying appropriate boundaries for yourself at work will help support the relationship you have with your boss and leave you feeling empowered.” 2. Put Yourself in Your Boss’ Shoes “Many people use talking to self soothe and often even overshare because they are trying to connect and don’t always realize when they start talking about things that are over the line until it’s too late,” Martin says. To keep people from doing that, our experts say putting yourself in your boss’s shoes can help. Engels explains, “Putting yourself in your boss’s shoes is a useful tool because it can help you determine what you should approach them about, and how.” 3. Try Out Therapy Another great option to explore is to go to therapy. “Therapy provides a judgment-free and objective space for an individual to share with a person trained in managing the anxiety and trauma that may be associated with it,” Engles reveals. “Having a dedicated time and space where you can talk to someone will likely reduce the frequency and intensity of oversharing in the workplace, while also allowing you to develop coping tools to reduce the need to overshare.” Up Next: Related: The One Question That Could Help You Determine if Your Boss Is a Narcissist SourcesBack when he lived in Newtown, Alan Jones had a wall covered in photographs of himself with the Pick and Stick crew. There were football players, political allies, celebrities and billionaires; the “Moses of the airwaves” had cultivated a powerful fellowship over his first 20-odd years on air, and still had half his radio career to run. Yet even then, some in his orbit had misgivings about getting too close to Jones. “The last place you wanted to end up was on his wall,” said one. Being close to Jones was, as one former staffer put it, “an exhausting thing”. It was like being smiled upon by a capricious emperor. The anointed ones, who ranged from sports stars to musicians to prime ministers and premiers, were graced with favours and largesse. But they had to pay homage or risk it all. Jones’ warning that a failure to respond to a request would “be the end of our friendship”, was ominous indeed. This patronage was one of myriad ways Jones transformed himself from an everyday shock jock into The Man Who Ran Sydney. In the era when talkback was king and he had a 20 per cent audience share, he used his intellect, charisma and money to exploit the platform like no one else. “His power isn’t explained by the size of his audience,” says Chris Masters, author of . “It’s explained more by how he used it as leverage to advocate for his own interests and the interests of his powerful mates.” For decades, power protected Jones. He bullied his staff, bulldozed elected officials, and was perceived to favour handsome young men. Few were game to challenge him. Those who did paid the price. Jones was a man “drunk on power”, said one former staffer, and he “did not know when to stop”. But his grip loosened as society changed and Jones refused to change with it, as advertisers became reluctant to align themselves with his increasingly fringe views, and as movements such as #MeToo put the anatomy of power under the microscope. Last year, Jones faced his own reckoning. The chief investigative reporter Kate McClymont that he had used his power for sexual gratification, by groping and indecently assaulting young men, including one of his producers, without their consent. One of the men, who has since died, alleged that he “forces himself on young men and uses his power in a predatory way”. Another man, an employee, says he was groped by Jones. “He knew I wasn’t gay so it was about power dynamics,” he said. Police investigated. This week, with 26 offences involving nine alleged victims. He says he is innocent. The charges are before the courts. When one family contacted police a few years ago to raise allegations that Jones had indecently touched a relative, the officers were blunt. It would be the word of a social colossus against that of an ordinary person. Jones was not, the family recalled one of them saying, “Joe Blow from Bunnings”. Talkback radio used to be the only way ordinary people could speak directly to politicians, even if the microphone was controlled by the host. It was a win-win; listeners on so-called Struggle Street could get their problems addressed, politicians could talk directly to the people, and broadcasters were the powerbroker in the middle. “Forget the press gallery,” prime minister Paul Keating once said. “If you educate [broadcaster] John Laws, you educate Australia.” Articulate, relentless, merciless Jones outclassed all his rivals when he first fired up on air in 1985. He was an unlikely success story; a cross between a priest and a schoolmaster, who would sermonise and patronise in a voice so grating he was nicknamed The Parrot. Yet listeners loved it. “He played all the tabloid tricks,” says Masters. “Flatter your public, tell them ‘my listeners are my best researchers’. He ended up generating a kind of cultist following.” He slept three hours a day and seemed to devote the remaining 21 to work. He’d insist that his office reply to every letter. He’d often dictate them himself to his typist. In 1999, he wrote 3000 letters to government in eight months, the learnt under freedom of information laws. Almost 140 of those were to the prime minister, premier, and a handful of ministers. He expected recipients to reply promptly. Failure to do so risked an on-air dressing down. Premiers and prime ministers would put a staff member in charge of responding within 24 hours. They were dubbed the Minister for Alan Jones. The line between policy and personal blurred. Once, he was pulled over by NSW Police highway patrol on a trip to Canberra and didn’t realise he was crossing two lanes of the Hume to get to the kerb. He was almost hit by a truck. The next day, he wrote to then-police minister Paul Whelan, attempting to get the “cowboy” officer sacked. “I’m sick and tired of defending the police force when it’s peopled by yahoos like this,” he wrote. He would text politicians at all hours, furiously criticising their decisions and offering unsolicited advice about how those decisions would end in disaster. Once, he flamed a senior NSW minister for what he described as unforgivable ignorance. “Who the f--- do you think you are?” the radio broadcaster told the elected member of parliament. A response that pleased him could lead to benevolence. Another letter, obtained by under a similar FOI request 20 years later, involved a back-and-forth with then-Coalition sports minister Stuart Ayres about a sailing issue. Jones approved of Ayres’ actions. “That’s why you are a very good minister,” he wrote. “Is everything OK in the electorate? Yell out if I can help. With best wishes, Alan.” Many argue Jones, himself a failed political candidate for the Liberal Party, was only able to hold so much power because politicians surrendered it to him. Yet those who resisted grovelling found themselves in a bind. “It wasn’t that the ministers lacked courage,” said one former senior NSW Coalition minister. “It’s that you couldn’t convince a cabinet or party room to stand up to him too.” Taking on Jones about one thing meant the broadcaster would attack everything else that minister tried to do. “It subverted your ability to do other things,” he said. “It wasn’t worth the fight.” When Coalition premier Mike Baird backflipped on his plan to shut down greyhound racing after a sustained campaign by Jones, he was photographed arriving at Jones’ apartment at Circular Quay for a dinner of humble pie to win back support. Jones told his listeners the next day that the government would receive “full marks” from him if it reversed the ban. Jones would frequently shower praise on his long-time friend Tony Abbott: the broadcaster was one of two speakers at an event last year marking 10 years since Abbott became prime minister. When Abbott was in the top job, Jones would send him a weekly missive with about 30 dot points, offering advice, warnings, and tips on who was white-anting him, said one person close to him. Staff heard him dictate a sign-off: “Go for the jugular, Tony.” Abbott denies the story. “Mr Abbott ran his own political strategy and famously wrote his own speeches and personally signed off his own media releases,” said a spokesman. Politicians found their own ways of managing him. “There were certain techniques that worked with Alan, like going into the studio in person,” the former minister said. “It was harder for him to be mean to you if you were right in front of him. Colleagues used to say they would take a young male staffer with them [to put Jones in a good mood], like a burnt offering. Writing him a handwritten note; he’d write to you, and what I learnt was that you had to write back yourself, and give him answers to keep him [from speaking about the issue on radio].” The aim was to keep their issue off-air, said the politician. Being lauded could be as dangerous as being rubbished. “If you got praised by him, it was probably because you leaked to him, so your colleagues would be suspicious – and generally rightly so. Alan never did anything without a reason.” Jones might have left politicians so intimidated that they couldn’t sleep before an interview, but no one was more attuned to the vagaries of his mood than those who worked for him. The former teacher and rugby union coach was an exacting boss. One producer remembers sitting in the car park before work in the wee hours of the morning, wondering if he could face it all again that day. “I don’t think he ever said hello to me in all the years I worked for him,” he said. “Every day started with incredible tension.” For their first six months, Jones would put a new producer to a kind of loyalty test involving verbal abuse and the rubbishing of their work. “It was routine humiliation,” said one. Once, when Jones was dissatisfied with the performance of his staff, he made them write to the finance department to say they didn’t deserve to be paid for their day’s work. Another time, Jones found some faxes that had not been replied to, and made staff cancel leave to write back. “The way he blew up at people was a craft,” said another former producer, who – like many people interviewed for this story – spoke on the condition of anonymity because he still feared Jones’ impact on his career. “He never swore, but it was an articulate spray that was like being lashed by lightning. It was personal, it was cruel, it was demeaning. But it wasn’t someone losing control. The sprays were directed at staff, at salespeople, at CEOs. There was no one at 2GB that Jones felt he couldn’t stand over.” Jones was the station’s money-spinner. “What he wanted, he got,” says Mike Carlton, who worked with Jones at 2UE before the breakfast presenter jumped ship to 2GB. “He would just send in his manager, ‘Alan wants this, Alan wants this done’, and management would cave because they were desperate to keep him on side.” Working for Jones was intense. Yet Jones kept staff loyal, partly with occasional explosions of generosity. A Christmas card with $500 inside. Tickets to Wimbledon. A lavish dinner. There was also the sense that, beyond the bullying, the program was doing some good. “A lot of the stuff he pointed out related to stupid government policy, and a lot of it ended up benefiting people who deserved a result,” said a former producer. “That’s where it gets a little bit tricky; without an aggressive champion, they would never have got the result they deserved.” Many wondered what drove him so relentlessly. It wasn’t money for its own sake; those close to him estimate he has given away millions over the years. He would pay friends’ children’s school fees, give them money to buy their first property, cover their health bills. He still pays for the reunions of school football teams he coached in the 1960s. “He’d give it to people who were broke, who needed money for legal fees,” said one person who worked with Jones. He would also allow people to stay in his opulent homes, in Sydney, the Southern Highlands, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. The guest list raised eyebrows; one former producer recalls dropping some briefs over and meeting the “procession of [male] athletes who would stay there”, he says. “Many of them were emotionally needy; quite a few had come from broken homes, and didn’t have supportive family relationships. There was a bit of a theme going through that. Part of it was he didn’t want to be alone.” Jones’ sexuality was scuttlebutt for decades, raised publicly only in double entendre. Jones never commented, not even after being arrested in a London public toilet – that was also a gay beat – for “outraging public decency” (he was cleared). He once told this masthead’s David Leser that he didn’t “believe people should be asked to [comment] in relation to their private lives”. But many, like Masters, believe Jones’ sexuality may be key to understanding his accumulation of power. He grew up in Queensland when homosexuality was illegal, and moved in worlds in which it was spurned, such as schoolboys’ boarding houses when he was a teacher, and rugby union when he was a coach. “There were good reasons for him to don the mask,” says Masters. “We’ve seen this in other powerful men from that era, the power base was built around them as a protective screen. It’s the manipulations – where to go, who you know, who can pull strings – that keeps you safe.” As his power grew, Jones became complacent. His staff and his acolytes were afraid to challenge him. He didn’t verify information he’d been given before presenting it on air, and got things wrong. The end began with his 2012 attacks on Julia Gillard – who stood opposite his good friend Abbott in the parliamentary chamber – when he said she should be tied in a chaff bag and dumped at sea. Within a week of reporting Jones’ comments to a Young Liberal dinner that Gillard’s father, who had passed away not long before, had “died of shame”, around 70 advertisers backed away from his show and Mercedes-Benz confiscated Jones’ $250,000 sponsored car. The editor who published ’s story, Neil Breen – who is now a television reporter for Nine, owner of this masthead – paid the price for challenging Jones. “From that day on, it always had an effect on my career,” he said. It angered some of Jones’ supporters at News Limited. It prompted Jones to run interference when Breen worked in radio. It disrupted relationships that still haven’t recovered. “You were just up against forces,” he said. “He was a significant foe.” Jones’ final, self-inflicted blow came in 2019, when he told then-prime minister Scott Morrison to “shove a sock” down the throat of New Zealand’s then-prime minister, Jacinda Ardern. The condemnation was swift and significant, and advertisers – whose business covered his $4 million salary – fled. Jones was already on thin ice due to his alliances with fringe politicians such as then-MP Craig Kelly, and a mammoth defamation payout for blaming a family for the deadly Grantham floods. He resigned from 2GB in 2021. Without his platform, Jones’ power rapidly dwindled. Even if he had stayed on air, his influence may not have protected him from the indecent assault allegations. Over the past decade, abuse of power accusations have all but ended the careers of other once-untouchable men even if they are eventually cleared, like the late cardinal George Pell. The world has changed. Power is a less effective cocoon. While speaking up still requires enormous courage, victims are no longer stigmatised. Where allegations of predatory behaviour were once stifled, police now take so-called silent crimes seriously. Where stars were once allowed to behave as they wanted as long as they brought in money, companies must now actively protect their workers. “There’s been a very important shift in how we operate as a society,” says academic and former journalist Catharine Lumby, who once had a piece critiquing Jones pulled when she wrote for , which was owned by Jones’ good friend Kerry Packer. “The avenues of survivors of assault and harassment are more educated; there’s been a sea change in attitudes.” Those who knew Jones say he would have stayed in front of a microphone until he died if he could have, holding on to the power that kept him safe and the busyness that kept him from introspection. The haunted, brilliant, flawed man “was scared of what came next”, says a former staffer. “He didn’t want any time to look in the mirror. He wanted to fill every day so there was no time for self-reflection.”
Controversial misinformation Bill scrappedHARRIS COUNTY, Texas — An 18-year-old man is dead after a crash while potentially trying to race in the Channelview area, according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez . This happened on North Silver Green Drive , which is off Dell Dale Street in the Sterling Green neighborhood. The sheriff first posted about the crash on social media at 5:08 a.m. Gonzalez said the 18-year-old may have been trying to race another vehicle when he lost control and hit a curb before crashing into a home's front yard. He was taken to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead. The sheriff said the man's 20-year-old sister was also in the car and was unharmed in the crash. Gonzalez said the driver of the other car took off. The two cars did not hit each other, according to the sheriff.

The Radio 1 star, who also paired up with GK Barry for one challenge earlier this week, has quit every one which has even annoyed host Ant McPartlin , who later apologised for his unprofessional behaviour after fans clocked his 'furious' reaction. Teaming up with Mecca Games expert Nicole Greenfield-Smith said: 'If Dean flunks many more trials, it could leave him susceptible to walking.' 'Firstly, Dean and GK Barry in a Bushtucker Trial proved to be a disastrous combo' 'Even though they went in with the best intentions. We all have 'mirror neurons' which enable us to connect and empathise with others'. 'This means we are highly sensitive to the mood, tone of voice and body language of those around us. So, if we hear someone screaming and panicking it intensifies our own fear, which is exactly what happened with the hapless duo and why they left the trial with zero stars.'

Shares of Nvidia fell Monday after China said it is investigating the high-flying U.S. microchip company over suspected violations of Chinese anti-monopoly laws. In a brief news release with few details, Chinese regulators appear to be focusing on Nvidia's $6.9 billion acquisition of network and data transmission company Mellanox in 2019. Nvidia shares about 3% Monday. They are still up 179% so far this year. Considered a bellwether for artificial intelligence demand, Nvidia has led the AI sector to become one of the stock market’s biggest companies , as tech giants spend heavily on the company’s chips and data centers needed to train and operate their AI systems. Nvidia's shares have surged this year along with the California company's revenue and profit due to AI demand. According to data firm FactSet, about 16% of Nvidia's revenue comes from China, second only to its U.S.-generated revenue. A spokesperson for the company based in Santa Clara, California, said in an emailed statement that Nvidia is “happy to answer any questions regulators may have about our business.” In its most recent earnings release, Nvidia posted revenue of $35.08 billion, up 94% from $18.12 billion a year ago. Nvidia earned $19.31 billion in the quarter, more than double the $9.24 billion it posted in last year’s third quarter. The earnings release did not break out revenue from China. The company's market value rocketed to $3.5 trillion recently, passing Microsoft and briefly overtaking Apple as the world's most valuable company. China’s antitrust investigation follows a report this summer by technology news site The Information that the U.S. Justice Department was investigating complaints from rivals that Nvidia was abusing its market dominance in the chip sector. The allegations reported include Nvidia threatening to punish those who buy products from both itself and its competitors at the same time. David Bieri, an international finance expert at Virginia Tech, said that China’s investigation is “not about what Nvidia is doing in China, per se” but rather a signal to the incoming Trump administration. China, Bieri said, is looking to set the tone of future relations. The Chinese government, he said, is telling the U.S. “don’t mess with us, because all of your darling corporations that your version of capitalism needs to prosper have entanglements” with China. Nvidia will have to revise its strategy in China or come up with provisions in their budgets for the type of uncertainty business with China will bring, Bieri said. “I don’t think this is something that they can shake off,” he said. “I also have a tremendous amount of faith in the brilliance of the management strategy of a corporation like Nvidia to not only pay attention to credit risk, market risk and operational risk, but also to political risk.” Nvidia’s invention of graphics processor chips, or GPUs, in 1999 helped spark the growth of the PC gaming market and redefined computer graphics. Last month, it replaced Intel on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, ending the pioneering semiconductor company's 25-year run on the index. Unlike Intel, Nvidia designs but doesn’t manufacture its own chips, relying heavily on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., an Intel rival.

China stimulus: Republic flags major program to combat economy’s extended long growthThe payment system allows rail passengers travelling across the South Wales Metro to access easier ways to pay and good value fares. Transport for Wales (TfW) is the first train operator outside London and the South East of England to introduce this system. The technology is available at 95 TfW stations throughout South Wales, including all Valleys lines and routes to Bridgend, Maesteg, the Vale of Glamorgan, Abergavenny, and Chepstow. Fares for single journeys start at £2.60, with automatic daily and weekly capping providing savings against standard Anytime singles and seven-day season tickets. Passengers can simply tap in and out using their bank card, eliminating the need for a physical or digital ticket. Conductors will have a card reader to validate if a passenger has tapped in at the start of their journey. Ken Skates, cabinet secretary for transport and north Wales, said: "I am delighted that we’re now able to offer passengers a simpler and fairer way to travel through the new pay as you go system." Alexia Course, chief commercial officer at TfW, said: "Since launching pay as you go as a trial at the beginning of the year we’ve already seen more than 65,000 people choosing this simple and cost-effective way to pay for their travel." "This is another important step in the South Wales Metro project."
NoneGarage fire causes $125,000 in damages near TillsonburgNo. 4 Penn State tries to keep playoff picture out of focus in prep for tough trip to MinnesotaAfter a bit of a wait to get to the NHL with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Vasily Ponomarev’s first tryout is over. After three games in the NHL lineup, Ponomarev, 22, will take those lessons learned after a few rocky outings back the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the AHL. The Penguins sent Ponomarev back to WBS Saturday to make room for Kevin Hayes , whom the club activated later Saturday afternoon. Ponomarev didn’t record a point in his three games. Hayes, 32, has been on IR. In 14 games, the forward has four points (1-3-4), and coach Mike Sullivan officially termed him a game-time decision. Valtteri Puustinen remains on the NHL roster, so if Hayes is unable, Puustinen would get the 12th sweater, unless the team dresses seven defensemen. The Penguins face the Utah Hockey Club Saturday at PPG Paints Arena. Faceoff is set for 7:08 p.m. This article first appeared on Pittsburgh Hockey Now and was syndicated with permission.
