Fine Gael and Sinn Féin neck-and-neck while Fianna Fáil enjoys slight advantage in new polling

Given how much we use our iPhones to text, scroll through social media, and remind us of important events, it's easy to forget that, first and foremost, it's a telephone, albeit a very technologically advanced one. Whether you're a veteran power user or new to the brand, you've likely encountered a few surprising things about the iPhone while using it. As with any tech device, every now and then, your iPhone might do something you don't understand. When going through your iPhone's call logs, you'll come across things like incoming, outgoing, and missed calls. However, you might find one thing puzzling — the Canceled Call message that sometimes appears unexpectedly in an iPhone's call logs. While other call statuses that show up in an iPhone's call log are pretty self-explanatory, the Canceled Call message has caused more than a few people to scratch their heads and wonder what's going on. If this has happened to you, you might wonder if the person you're trying to reach has blocked your number or if your iPhone is experiencing some type of technical issue. The good news is that if you see Canceled Call in your iPhone's call logs, there's usually nothing to be concerned about; it just means a call was initiated but didn't go through. Have you ever called someone on your iPhone and hung up before they could answer or before their voicemail came on? If the answer is yes, the Canceled Call message has likely appeared in your iPhone's call logs, whether you noticed it at the time or not. This message doesn't mean there's anything wrong with your phone. When the right conditions are met, it'll appear in your call logs, whether you're using the futuristic iPhone 16 Pro or an older model. The Canceled Call status lets you know that a call was placed but wasn't completed. Something that often happens when we realize we've dialed the wrong number and quickly hang up. The person on the receiving end of your phone call won't see Canceled Call in their logs; instead, they'll see a Missed Call status, assuming the phone rang at least one time. If their network doesn't have time to register your call, they might not see anything at all. Canceled Call will also appear in your call logs if you call someone and get a busy signal. You may be asking yourself: How does a Canceled Call differ from an outgoing call? You'll see Outgoing Call in your call logs if you call someone and your iPhone dials the number, the recipient's phone rings, and connects. If your call doesn't go through all these stages, your iPhone will record it as a Canceled Call in your call logs.

The café is named after someone very personal to Miss Beckett. She said: "The origins of the name for Ruby's Room comes from my first daughter, who was stillborn, so it is an ode to her. It's quite a nice story of how we came up with the name." When asked what makes Ruby's Room stand out from other cafés in the county, Miss Beckett highlighted the good customer service and dedication to supporting other local businesses.

It's responsibly sourced and supports the local supply chain." In terms of the must-try items on the café's menu, Miss Beckett had a few recommendations for first-time visitors to Ruby's Room.

Now that the shine and allure of being the 'new fad' and government subsidies are starting to wear off - along with a marketplace full of super-saturated competition and robust supply - EVs simply aren't selling. That was the topic of a new FT report that claims the auto industry’s shift toward EVs, once seen as essential, is now facing serious challenges. It cites for example that Northvolt, Europe’s top battery producer, filed for bankruptcy last week, casting doubt on the region’s industrial strategy. Additionally, Stellantis announced the closure of its UK van plant, risking 1,100 jobs, while Volkswagen and Ford also warned of significant job cuts and plant closures due to weaker-than-expected EV demand. And as we noted earlier this week, GM is taking a $5 billion charge to reorganize its Chinese business. Now the U.S. risks falling further behind in its green transition as EV adoption lags and President-elect Trump’s plans to cut subsidies threaten progress. While President Biden aims for EVs to make up half of new car sales by 2030, they accounted for just 10% last year, according to FT . And carmakers have scaled back production plans, with U.S. EV output expected to drop by 50% and European plans by 29% next year, according to Bernstein. By 2025, EV market share is projected to reach 23% in Europe and 13% in the U.S. FT reported that the slow growth of EV adoption globally stems from high upfront costs, concerns about range and charging infrastructure, and fading energy price advantages due to geopolitical tensions. Rising interest rates have further increased leasing costs. In Europe, EV prices have climbed from €40,000 in 2020 to €45,000 today, far above the €20,000 many consumers are willing to pay. Meanwhile, inconsistent government subsidies have led to uneven adoption, with Germany and France cutting incentives, prompting concerns about declining EV sales and job losses in the auto industry. China, by contrast, has successfully integrated its EV strategy, leveraging state-backed initiatives, subsidies, and a robust supply chain to dominate the market. More than half of new cars sold in China are now EVs or plug-in hybrids, aided by competitive pricing and innovative in-car technology. Europe, constrained by free-market principles, cannot match China’s state-driven model and has resorted to imposing tariffs on Chinese EV imports. Despite setbacks, automakers in Europe remain optimistic, planning affordable EV models under €25,000 to meet stricter emissions targets, aiming to balance cost reduction with growing consumer interest in electric technology. Bernstein analyst Daniel Roeska concluded: “The EV production forecast for 2025 has seemingly only gone one way — down.” By Zerohedge.com More Top Reads From Oilprice.com Stellantis CEO Resignation Sends Shockwaves Through U.S. Auto Industry Ruble's Plunge Signals Trouble for Russian Economy AI's Energy Appetite Sparks Global Power Grid Concerns Read this article on OilPrice.comFacebook Twitter WhatsApp SMS Email Print Copy article link Save NEW YORK — Stoli Group USA, the owner of the namesake vodka , has filed for bankruptcy as it struggled to contend with slowing demand for spirits, a major cyberattack that has snarled its operations and several years of fighting Russia in court. The company in its bankruptcy filing said it is “experiencing financial difficulties” and lists between $50 million and $100 million in liabilities. Stoli vodka and Kentucky Owl bourbon will continue to be available on store shelves while the company navigates the Chapter 11 process, which only pertains to its U.S. business. Until 2022, Stoli was sold as Stolichnaya in the United States, which loosely translates to “capital city” in Russian. The company shortened its title following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and boycotts against Russian-branded vodkas . Stoli Group’s founder, Russian-born billionaire Yuri Shefler, was exiled from that nation in 2000 because of his opposition to President Vladimir Putin. People are also reading...

The once-dominant chipmaker’s stock cratered as it missed the AI boom and was surpassed by most of its rivals. The liquor has long been marketed as a Russian vodka, but its production facilities have been in Latvia for several decades. Stoli Group is a unit of Luxembourg-based SPI Group, which owns other spirit and wine brands. “The Stoli Group has been targeted by the Russian Federation since it was formed nearly 25 years ago,” said Stoli Group CEO Chris Caldwell in a statement. “Earlier this year the company and our owner were both named by the Russian state as ‘extremist groups working against Russia’s interests.’” Its ongoing legal battle with the Russia government has forced Stoli to “spend dozens of millions of dollars on this long-term court battle across the globe with the Russian authorities,” according to its court filing. Caldwell also said that Stoli’s global operations has been a “victim of a malicious cyber attack” that has forced the company to operate “entirely manually while the systems are rebuilt.” A slowdown in demand for alcohol has crushed several company’s bottom lines following the pandemic when people were stuck at home and stocked up. Stoli’s filings said that it has seen a “decline and softening of demand for alcohol and spirits products post-Covid and especially beginning in 2023 and continuing into 2024.” Stoli Group USA, maker of Stoli vodka, has filed for bankruptcy due to slowing demand for spirits, a major cyberattack, and ongoing legal battles with Russia.
