SoftBank Group Corp is on track for the best weekly gain since March 2020 as analysts and investors become more bullish on its potential as an artificial intelligence (AI) stock. The shares rose as much as 6% on Friday (June 2), and are poised for a jump of about 18% on the week. Jefferies provided the latest spark, upgrading SoftBank to buy from hold, saying it is a 'likely beneficiary' of the frenzy in recent stocks following Nvidia Corp's bullish sales forecast last month. Investor enthusiasm for all things AI in the wake of ChatGPT's launch late last year has driven huge gains in related stocks globally.

While the SPCA is offering half-priced adoptions, why not give Gypsy, the one-eyed kitten, a loving home? Gypsy, the one-eyed snuggly kitten, has a condition called microphthalmia which means she was born without her left eye. Missing an eye hasn't affected her in the least, the wee 5-month-old kitten is still a playful little girl who loves to climb and chase. Gypsy had a hard start and was brought into the SPCA when her mother and siblings were found poisoned when she was only 2 weeks old.

Most need long-term support - physical, psychological, social and financial. However, few Member States have the resources or the capacity to help those affected by terrorism fully recover, rehabilitate and re-integrate into society. Monday's sixth International Day aims to ensure victims are not forgotten or neglected once the immediate aftermath of a terrorist attack fades.

American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) More than 10,000 Pre-Columbian archaeological sites likely rest undiscovered throughout the Amazon basin, estimates a new study. The findings, derived from remote sensing data and predictive spatial modeling, address questions about the influence of pre-Columbian societies on the Amazon region. "The massive extent of archaeological sites and widespread human-modified forests across Amazonia is critically important for establishing an accurate understanding of interactions between human societies, Amazonian forests, and Earth's climate," write the authors.
