According to the American Automobile Association (AAA), a record-high 79.9 million Americans are expected to travel at least 50 miles during the Thanksgiving travel period. The AAA defines this travel period as the Tuesday before Thanksgiving Day through the following Monday. The 79.9 million projected travelers are up 1.7 million (2.1%) from last year and are 2 million more than the 2019 pre-pandemic level. As one might expect, the most popular mode of transportation will be via automobile, which will account for 89.8% of all travelers. This translates to a record 71.7 million Americans piling into the family truckster and heading out on the open road. The second most popular travel mode (7.3%) is via air. A record-high 5.8 million Americans will fly domestically over the Thanksgiving travel period, up 2% from last year. Thanksgiving drivers this year will benefit from lower gas prices. During last year’s Thanksgiving holiday, the national average for a gallon of regular gas was $3.26, according to AAA data. Currently, the national average is around $3.07 per gallon. Gas prices vary extensively from one state to the next. Even within an individual state, the price you pay at the pump tends to be much more in big cities than in rural areas. Illinois has the 10th-highest average price in the nation at $3.19 per gallon, $0.12 above the national average. In Chicago, the price skyrockets to $3.60 per gallon. Iowa, by comparison, has the 10th-lowest average price at just $2.75 per gallon, a wallet-friendly $0.32 cheaper than the national average. For perspective, the highest prices for a gallon of regular gas in the land go to perennial high-cost states Hawaii ($4.57) followed by California ($4.45). Oklahoma wins the award for the cheapest gas prices at just $2.57 per gallon. Here in the Quad-Cities, as is usually typical, the price you pay for a gallon of gas is heavily dependent on which side of the river you fill up on. On the Illinois side, the average price for a gallon of regular gas is $3.21. However, you can save some big bucks by filling up on the Iowa side of the river, which is $0.39 cheaper at just $2.82 per gallon. If you have a larger size car with an 18-gallon tank, like an SUV, that’s a savings of around $7.02 per fill up. For smaller cars with a 12-gallon tank, you’ll save around $4.68 per fill up. For those of you who will be in the driver’s seat during your Thanksgiving road trip, when you choose to travel is also an important consideration. According to INRIX, a provider of transportation data and analytics, the worst time to travel will be on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. INRIX recommends Thanksgiving Day as the best travel day as most roads, highways and interstates will typically have less traffic. For your return tip home, INRIX suggests early Sunday morning to avoid traffic congestion. Whether you’re staying local or you’ll find yourself among the millions of holiday travelers, I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving! Artificial intelligence is becoming more commonplace, even in health care, but a new survey shows a big portion of Americans don't trust it. For the last 1.5 years since ChatGPT launched, workers and business leaders have been singing two different tunes about the advent of generative artificial intelligence. From the C-suites, there is excitement and optimism about cost savings and improved productivity—but among the rank and file are rumblings of anxiety and fear. An ADP Research Institute survey of 35,000 workers published in June found that more than 40% believe generative AI will replace some or most of the functions they perform at their companies. Generative AI is a program that uses algorithms trained on large amounts of data to recognize patterns and predict the next sequence of words or sentences when prompted. Leading generative AI products from companies like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic have proven effective at automating low-level tasks like copywriting, routine administrative work, and more complex data analysis. However, even as C-suite leaders look forward to maintaining their competitive edge with the latest tech, surveys show that much of corporate America may be unprepared to adopt generative AI technology. Drata analyzed a Massachusetts Institute of Technology global poll of more than 300 executives to illustrate companies' preparedness to adopt new AI technologies with the potential to substantially disrupt American jobs. According to the International Monetary Fund's AI Preparedness Index , the U.S. ranks among the top countries prepared to implement AI across its economy. A nation's digital infrastructure, regulations, labor market, and other aspects of the economy are all factored into preparedness. Three in 5 MIT poll respondents believe AI technology will "substantially disrupt" their industries over the next five years. They include leaders in financial services, manufacturing, telecommunications, oil and gas, and media and communications companies. Some U.S. companies invest as if they don't want to be left behind. One study from Rackspace and Amazon Web Services, which itself has the leading market share selling AI services and access to the hardware powering AI applications, found that corporate investment is projected to double this year from 2023 to about $2.5 million. Still, MIT's poll of hundreds of business leaders across industries suggests at least half of the corporate world is still in the trial-and-error phase of implementation, or has no interest in adopting generative AI at all. According to the poll, fewer than 10% of firms surveyed are using generative AI broadly across their organizations. Far more are conducting trials or using the technology in specific areas of the business with plans to expand. The authors of the MIT report find that generative AI is currently most often used to make products in the tech and media industries and that adoption will ramp up next in customer service. Even companies ahead of the curve and flush with capital to invest in AI are still learning from trials. Take McDonald's, for example, which recently pulled back on a pilot program for automating orders at its drive-through restaurants. The technology mistakenly entered orders for hundreds of nuggets and other incorrect menu items, frustrating customers. The largest roadblock cited by companies that aren't confident in their ability to quickly implement AI broadly is a lack of data to train systems customized to their business needs. According to the report's authors, the need for massive amounts of data may be changing how companies think about data and how they collect it from their customers or clients. This hasn't just emerged as a barrier for those that aren't traditionally tech companies but also for the biggest names in AI currently developing leading generative AI models. Another factor stymying deployment is the hardware necessary to store and support the computing required of generative AI models, as is the ability to protect against cybersecurity threats. Outside of IT barriers, the money needed to train and operate the systems is another major obstacle. If generative AI is to carry with it the sea change most business leaders currently believe it will, more of those companies will first need to find investment dollars, data, and ethical frameworks for implementation before anxieties about its impact are proved right or wrong.

Travellers are always eager to find new hacks that allow them to pack their luggage more efficiently before jetting off on holiday . 1 A travel expert has revealed an amazing packing hack (stock) Credit: Getty One of the biggest annoyances for those heading abroad is keeping dirty clothes separate from clean ones while on holiday. It goes without saying that our bags often become a jumbled mess by the end of the trip. However, a well-seasoned flyer has shared one method which could help stop this headache for holidaygoers . According to Samantha Hamilton, an expert traveller who runs the New England Wanderlust blog, there is a correct way to pack your dirty laundry when traveling.

The travel whizz says that packing cubes have been the most effective way to contain the smell. She also says they are especially handy as they maintain an element of the compression to save space. A specific compression packing cube will help you save space and keep the smells away from clean clothes.

Hamilton also advises travellers to “throw a dryer sheet into your dirty laundry cube" to help with bad smells. Lexie Limitless shares her top travel tips and tricks You might not use a lot of dryer sheets in your normal laundry routine, but pack a few to keep your suitcase from permanently absorbing the scent of every adventure. There is no harm in putting them in your suitcase and also in the packing cube with your dirty laundry. Hamilton says they are her "last line of defence" to stop odours from seeping into the rest of her suitcase. And for longer trips they come in handy even more thanks to taking up no room at all. Hamilton added: “I also no longer mix my dirty laundry with my shoe bags, and keep them separate. “I noticed that, especially with shoes like canvas sneakers, they would start to absorb odours from the dirty laundry.” Read more on the Scottish Sun GHOST TOWN Former Scots shopping hotspot 'decaying' as multimillion pound revamp ‘failing’ VAX HORROR Striken Scots 'gaslit' by health bosses after complications from Covid vaccine It follows this travel expert's clever trick using tape that makes packing so much easier and keeps everything in one place. And this packing expert has revealed how to pack enough luggage that is still under 7kg. Holiday packing tips Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday. 1. Write a list Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase. Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack. 2. Involve your kids Jemma said: “My girls are getting older, they’re 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say ‘this is what you need’ and they follow the list. “And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them ‘you can have whatever you want in there as long as it’s not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that’s their ‘home away from home’ items.” 3. Try a hack or two She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you’ve just got to pick the right one for your trip. "Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you’re trying to get a lot of items into your case, it’s a space saver. “Packing cubes are great - for example, I’m going on holiday with my three kids and we’re all using the same suitcase for our clothes. "These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked. "I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we’ve arrived." 4. Decant beauty products Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller. Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive. 5. Get organised before you come home Jemma said: “When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes. “Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person. "Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don’t leave it."

If you're looking for branded goods then Home Bargains and Amazon both have you covered, and both regularly sell big-name products far below the RRP. We went and filled a basket with branded goods in Home bargains, and then did the same on Amazon. This was the price difference. Pedigree Dog Christmas stocking, 367g A selection of Dentastix, Tasty Minis, Rodeos and a Jumbone £3.49 £7.70, or £7.31 with Subscribe and Save (through third-party sellers) This is a clear win for Home Bargains. This may be down to the only Amazon sellers bringing third-party, and not being as competitive as the main company. Either way, Rover will be glad you went to Home Bargains (maybe get him or her two to celebrate). Pedigree Dog Food, Chunks in Jelly, 385g : £5.99 for a pack of six tins (£1 a tin) £20 for four six packs of tins, or £17 with Subscribe and Save (that's 24 tins, so 83p each, or by subscribing it's 70p) This one is a win for Amazon - if you don't mind buying in bulk. I also spotted an extra voucher on offer, for an additional 10% odd the first Subscribe and Save order on this, and that would bring the price down to 63p on that first order. These vouchers are 'stackable' so you get the discounts combined. Cadbury's Wispa, 4 pack of bars, 102g £1.65 £3.96 (based on equivalent values) The verdict: Another clear win for Home Bargains. This was only available in a bundle of three packs of four, so 12 bars in total, for £11.90 regular price, or £11.30 for Subscribe and Savers, again sold by a third party but dispatched by Amazon. The price difference per bar is 99p vs 55p. Heinz Beans, 415g, six can multipack Home Bargains: £4.75 or two for £8 Amazon: £4.75, or £4.04 with Subscribe and Save The verdict: Prices are tied here for regular shoppers, but if you eat a lot of beans, it pays to either select Subscribe and Save or for the best deal of all, buy two packs from Home Bargains, working out at £4 each. Domestos Bleach spray, 700ml £1.89 1.95, or £1.66 Subscribe and Save Again, this is a very close call, but Subscribe and Save is the way to buy this yet again if you want a bargain. Fairy Non-Bio washing liquid capsules 58 pods for £12.49 (21p each) 108 pods for £23, or £19.55 Subscribe and Save (21p and 18p each) This is a close call when you look at equivalent values, but for many shoppers, £23, or £19.55, is a big outlay all at once, and they may not have space to store a bulk pack of pods. Surf laundry powder, Tropical Lily, 1.15kg £3.49 £3.50 This works out as a penny difference, with both coming in at around £3.04 per kilo. Amazon does have a better value option, but it's for a huge 6.5kg box, which comes in at £14.53 (£2.24/kg) or 12.35 for Subscribe and Save (£1.90/kg). This means you'd need a big, dry storage space. On the upside, it's delivered free so there's no issue with carrying it back from the shops. Yorkshire Tea £5.49 for 210 bags (2.6p a bag) £18 for 600 bags, or £15.30 Subscribe and Save for 600 (3p or 2.5p a bag) This is another one where they don't sell the exact same sizes. Also, think about the initial outlay - do you have a spare £15 for tea, and where would you keep 600 tea bags? Also, would cup number 599 taste as good as the first one? Overall verdict There are winners and losers in both camps here, but it's worth considering bulk deals for both - whether that's buying two multipacks of beans or looking at Subscribe and Save. The best bargains are to be had on volume purchases. Saying that think about where you'd store it all and if you'd get through it before it goes off - it's only a bargain if you use it all. Similarly, it can be a big outlay, and it's not worth getting into debt when you're trying to find a good deal. Also think about your own brands - lots of the supermarket and shops' value ranges are just as good, so try switching brands and see if you notice a difference. Mostly it's horses for courses - head to Home Bargains for pet products, smaller volumes and chocolate, and look at Amazon for big, bulk purchases. Best of all, check out your local independents too, they can offer the best deals of all, and you know more money stays in your local community.
