This New App Wants to Help You Track Your Sun Exposure
The app is free to testers and so far contains basic information such as sunrise, sunset and the UV index in order to assess a user's potential burn limit time and, as the app description says, "track your Vitamin D from the sun." Dorsey is currently testing UI updates and a solar noon notification, according to the app notes. In the app, users can describe the type of clothing they're wearing, such as shorts and T-shirts or swimwear, and Fitzpatrick skin type, which classifies how quickly you'll burn.
People tend to think about sun exposure and protections like sunscreen most during the summer, when the sun is strongest and the days are long and when they're heading to the beach or out gardening, golfing or otherwise getting in quality sun time.
The iOS app asks permissions to connect to some Apple Health data when the app is installed.
Dorsey announced an iOS Test Flight app, Sun Day, on Sunday, with a post on X (former Twitter).
Dorsey also recently released Bitchat, a private messaging client that uses Bluetooth as its communication platform. Although it's meant to be a secure, private app, some users have flagged Bitchat for potential security flaws that are still being tested.

This 12 Dividend Stock Portfolio Will Pay Your Bills
Most dividend stocks pay quarterly—but your bills don't. Rent, groceries, gas, surprise car repairs… life doesn't come once every three months. That's why some investors are building what's called a Weekly Paycheck Portfolio—a curated list of dividend-paying stocks staggered to deliver consistent income every week of the year. With the right mix of stocks across sectors and dividend schedules, you can build a dividend portfolio that not only delivers frequent income but grows it over time. These 12 stocks yield nearly four times the S&P 500 average and offer solid dividend growth. Here's how to build your own weekly dividend machine. Building a Dividend Portfolio that Pays the Bills I'll reveal my 12-stock portfolio as an example but the idea here is so simple and allows you to switch out your favorite dividend stocks. Most dividend stocks pay out each year on extremely consistent schedules. Dividend investors love that certainty and consistency so directors of these companies try to declare and pay those dividends on the same week every three months, some even down to the same day. That means, after putting together your list of dividend stocks, you can use a resource like the Historical Data tab on Yahoo Finance to see when each has paid dividends in the past. Once you have a list of when your favorite dividend stocks go ex-dividend, you can plan it out so you have stocks that will pay you every week of the year. Cisco Systems (CSCO) Dividend Yield: 2.4% Ex-Dividend Schedule: First week of Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct Cisco offers a modest yield—but as a tech company, it's unusually generous. The company is well-positioned in the AI-driven data center boom with solutions in switching, routing, and cybersecurity. Cisco has raised its dividend consistently and shares are up 50% in five years. EOG Resources (EOG) Dividend Yield: 3.4% Ex-Dividend Schedule: Second week of Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct A natural gas powerhouse, EOG is benefiting from increased LNG export infrastructure. Its dividend has grown at 20% annually, and analysts forecast double-digit upside in shares. That's on top of 143% share price growth over five years. AbbVie (ABBV) Dividend Yield: 3.5% Ex-Dividend Schedule: Third week of Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct This pharma giant has become a dividend investor favorite thanks to its blockbuster pipeline, including Skyrizi and Rinvoq. AbbVie's strong growth and 12% price target upside make it worth the a look. Ford Motor (F) Dividend Yield: 6.9% Ex-Dividend Schedule: Fourth week of Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct Ford is deep value right now, trading at just 0.25x sales. While earnings are forecast to dip, the F-150 remains the best-selling truck in America. Any relief in input costs or sales rebound could re-ignite the stock, and the 6.9% dividend sweetens the wait. Kinder Morgan (KMI) Dividend Yield: 4.0% Ex-Dividend Schedule: First week of February, May, August, November With 80,000 miles of oil and gas pipeline, Kinder Morgan generates steady fees independent of commodity prices. The stock offers dependable income, modest growth, and analysts see 12% upside to the shares. Duke Energy (DUK) Dividend Yield: 3.5% Ex-Dividend Schedule: Second week of Feb, May, Aug, Nov Duke provides electricity and gas to more than 9 million customers across the southeastern U.S. With rising power demand driven by data centers, the company offers stability and potential for 10–20% share price appreciation. I love talking stocks and that face-to-face community we're building on the YouTube channel. Join the Bow Tie Nation and check out all the 2025 stock picks on Let's Talk Money! Prudential Financial (PRU) Dividend Yield: 5.0% Ex-Dividend Schedule: Third week of Feb, May, Aug, Nov Prudential brings international diversification with half its earnings overseas, especially in Japan and Brazil. Analysts see a 10% upside, and its 5% dividend with 4% growth rate makes it a top pick among insurers. NextEra Energy (NEE) Dividend Yield: 3.3% Ex-Dividend Schedule: Fourth week of February, May, August, November NextEra combines the scale of a major utility with a fast-growing renewables portfolio. It's grown its dividend at a 10% annual pace, and with 28GW in clean energy backlog, future growth looks strong even if yield is middle-of-the-pack. Regions Financial (RF) Dividend Yield: 4.2% Ex-Dividend Schedule: First week of Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec This regional bank has scaled well and consistently raised its dividend by 10% annually. Regulatory easing and a higher rate environment could push shares well above their current analyst target of $24 per share. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Dividend Yield: 2.5% Ex-Dividend Schedule: Second week of Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec HPE's merger with Juniper and strength in AI-driven server growth make it a hidden tech dividend play. While dividend growth has been slow at 1.6%, accelerating cash flows should drive both payouts and price higher. Altria Group (MO) Dividend Yield: 7.0% Ex-Dividend Schedule: Third week of Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec Despite declining cigarette volumes, Altria has grown total volume through heated tobacco and nicotine pouches. The dividend is king here, and with a 7% yield, investors are getting paid well to wait. Medtronic (MDT) Dividend Yield: 3.2% Ex-Dividend Schedule: Fourth week of Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec With a #1 or #2 position in all three of its core MedTech markets and AI-enabled devices already approved, Medtronic combines innovation and consistency. While growth has lagged recently, the stock remains a steady payer with upside potential. This 12-stock portfolio yields approximately 4.1%, nearly four times the broader market average—with an average dividend growth rate above 6% a year. It includes a mix of sectors for safety, income, and potential appreciation. That means you'll get dependable dividend checks every week of the year, from high-yield staples like Altria and Ford to steady growers like NextEra and Medtronic. It's not a get-rich-quick strategy—but it is a get-paid-every-week strategy.

CoreWeave shares climb on $1.5 billion debt offering amid AI expansion
-- CoreWeave Inc (NASDAQ:CRWV) shares jumped on Monday after the AI infrastructure provider unveiled plans to raise $1.5 billion through a senior notes offering, bolstering its balance sheet to support continued growth. The stock surged 4.5% following the announcement as investors responded to the company's move to lean into long-term demand for AI compute capacity. The new 2031-dated bond comes as CoreWeave continues to navigate a stretched balance sheet, with $8 billion in total debt reported as of December 2024. The offering will be made to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and to non-U.S. persons under Regulation S, and will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain wholly owned subsidiaries. Analysts have generally remained constructive on CoreWeave's near-term outlook despite the capital structure concerns. 'From a numbers perspective, we are expecting another double-digit beat, with current consensus assuming 10% q/q growth, which feels conservative given the ongoing Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) B200 ramp management spoke to last quarter,' noted Barclays analyst Raimo Lenschow. Still, the company's aggressive expansion strategy, centered on massive investment in GPU infrastructure, has come at a cost, with elevated interest burdens raising flags about cash flow resiliency in a cyclical market. CoreWeave issued $2 billion in new notes in May and follows that just two months later with this $1.5 billion issuance, moves that could signal a need to refinance rather than organic deleveraging. Since debuting in public markets in late March, CoreWeave's has proven an AI darling, initially spiking from $40 to $187 before stabilizing in the $125 to $140 range. Lenschow's updated price target of $140 reflects both expectations for sustained customer demand in AI cloud services and the limitations posed by valuation, which he described as 'full (~50x CY26E EV/EBIT).' CoreWeave's differentiated infrastructure, reportedly offering up to 35 times faster and 80% cheaper computing compared to AWS or Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Cloud, has positioned it as a leader in the AI acceleration space. However, the company's reliance on debt to fund its buildout raises long-term questions, particularly if hyperscaler spending slows or AI workload monetization falls short. Moody's assigned a B1 rating to CoreWeave's newly announced $1.5 billion senior unsecured notes due 2031, while maintaining its Ba3 corporate family rating and a stable outlook. Fitch similarly rated the notes at BB- with a Recovery Rating of 'RR4', noting CoreWeave's strong revenue visibility, capital discipline, and projected deleveraging, supported by a $25.9 billion backlog and robust EBITDA growth through 2026. Both agencies cited CoreWeave's relatively high leverage and customer concentration as key concerns. Nonetheless, Moody's and Fitch highlighted the stability of CoreWeave's contracted revenues, its unique competitive positioning in AI infrastructure, and the potential for leverage to decline to 3.5x or below by the end of 2026, provided the company continues its execution pace and maintains liquidity. Revenue for the second quarter is forecast at around $1.2 billion, potentially exceeding consensus estimates and supporting EBITDA momentum. 'In all, we think Q2 should provide proof points of ongoing healthy end-demand, though we still view valuation as full... and think the end of the lock-up two days after earnings limits any potential positive price action,' said Lenschow.

Over 260,000 pools sold across Canada under recall after reports of nine deaths in U.S.
Health Canada has issued a recall notice for more than 260,000 above-ground swimming pools sold in Canada since the early 2000s after nine kids drowned in the United States. Another five million pools are under a recall advisory in the U.S. The notices cover a range of Bestway, Intex Recreation and Polygroup pools sold by major retailers as far back as 2002. Health Canada and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission say the pools have compression straps running along the outside of the product that 'may create a foothold' for small children and allow them to access the water unattended. That can pose a serious drowning risk, the regulators warn, and they're asking consumers to contact the companies for a repair. To date, the CPSC believes nine children across the U.S. have drowned after gaining access to these now-recalled pools in this way. Those deaths occurred between 2007 and 2022, involving children between the ages of 22 months and three years old. Health Canada said in its recall that the pool companies have not received any reports of incidents or injuries in Canada. Consumers in possession of these pools are urged to immediately contact Bestway, Intex and/or Polygroup to receive the free repair kit — which will consist of a rope to replace the compression strap. Owners of these pools should otherwise ensure that small children cannot access the pool without supervision, regulators note — and could alternatively drain the pool until the repair is made. All of the pools being recalled are 48 inches or taller — and can be identified by brand and model names listed on both the CPSC and Health Canada's recall notices. Sales of the pools ranged by model and location, but date as far back to 2002 and as recently as 2025. About 5 million of these now-recalled pools were sold across the U.S. — including both online and in-stores at major retailers like Walmart, Target, Lowe's, Costco and Amazon. Another 266,000 were sold in Canada. -With files from The Canadian Press The Associated Press Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
