On December 31, 2024, gas from the first phase of GTA started to flow from wells to the floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel as part of the commissioning process. At the FPSO, gas is being processed to remove any condensate, water and impurities ahead of delivery to the floating LNG vessel for liquefaction.
Gas has now been delivered to the floating LNG vessel and liquefaction has commenced. The liquefaction of gas into LNG is when Kosmos starts to recognize gas entitlement production from the project in its quarterly statements. In addition, bp has given notice to the offtaker (bp gas marketing ltd.) for an LNG carrier to arrive later this quarter to export the first LNG cargo. Lifting of the first LNG cargo is when Kosmos starts to recognize revenue and generate cash flow from the project.
Commenting on first LNG production at GTA, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Andrew G. Inglis said: "First LNG is another major milestone for Kosmos, the GTA partnership and the governments of Mauritania and Senegal. We are looking forward to the accelerated ramp-up of LNG production and the first LNG cargo lifting during the first quarter."

Ron DeSantis last week proposed a $115.6 billion budget for the next fiscal year, focusing on maintaining the state's strong economic performance.&nbsp;
In a statement from his office, DeSantis highlighted Florida's healthy revenue and low unemployment as signs of success under his administration, and his budget aims to keep that momentum going.
A major highlight is the proposed $2.2 billion in tax cuts, including a two-year suspension of the business rent tax, which could ease the financial strain on businesses, especially small ones. Another key piece is a "Second Amendment" tax break on firearms and ammunition sales.

</ul>
The budget also allocates significant funding for public sector employees, with a $118 million raise proposed for 4,700 state law enforcement officers and more than 700 firefighters. Teachers are also a priority, with $246.7 million aimed at increasing their salaries.
The proposal also raises per-student funding by $222, bringing the total to $9,205. However, as noted by the Florida Education Association, even with these increases, Florida still lags behind many states in teacher pay and education funding.
DeSantis described his budget as focusing on fiscal responsibility, and it cuts $3 billion from the current year's budget.&nbsp;

According to state financial reports, his goal is to reduce Florida's debt by 50% by 2027-28, while maintaining a reserve of $14.6 billion, or about 12.5% of the total budget. Since he took office, Florida's rainy-day fund has grown from $1.5 billion to nearly $5 billion.
Not everyone is on board with the proposal, though. House Democratic Leader Fentrice Driskell, speaking to The New York Post, argued that Florida is becoming too expensive for many residents, with costs for things like insurance, groceries, and healthcare outpacing wage growth.
A significant portion of the proposed budget goes toward immigration enforcement. According to his office, DeSantis is proposing $505 million for the Division of Emergency Management to assist federal immigration efforts.&nbsp;

The Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission would receive $4.4 million to create a special immigration enforcement unit, and $1.7 million is earmarked for a new Office of Secure Florida at the Department of Commerce to enforce E-Verify compliance.
The final budget will be decided by the state legislature during its 60-day session starting March 4. Already, lawmakers have put forward their own immigration-related budget, which includes $515 million for law enforcement, Central Florida Public Media reported.&nbsp;

The plan also continues funding for the popular My Safe Florida Homes renovation program.

James Howells, who is pursuing a legal battle to retrieve his $775 million Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fortune, now wants to buy the landfill site where the stash has been allegedly dumped.
What happened: Howells said the option is "very much on the table," <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj3eg3n11gvo">according </a>to a BBC report on Sunday.&nbsp;
&#8220;I would be potentially interested in purchasing the landfill site,&#8221; he was quoted as saying, a day after reports emerged that Newport City Council was planning to close the site.
Howells sought permission from the authorities to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41308908/man-who-accidentally-threw-hard-drive-containing-8-000-bitcoins-worth-half-a-billion-dolla">excavate the site</a> to recover a discarded hard drive containing 8,000 BTC, but the court denied the plea, citing environmental concerns with excavation.
The Wales-based software engineer was surprised by the decision to close the site soon after arguing against its excavation.
The Newport City Council didn't immediately return Benzinga's request for comment on this matter.

Why It Matters: The unfortunate incident <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42232028/remember-james-howells-who-lost-his-hard-drive-with-8000-bitcoins-now-worth-760m-his-ex-girlfriend-reveals-it-was-she-who-threw-it-away">dates back to 2013</a>, when Howells' ex-girlfriend unintentionally put a hard drive containing 8,000 BTC in the trash.
When he lost the legal bid to excavate the site, Howells even turned toward Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43019699/man-who-accidentally-threw-away-bitcoin-worth-800-million-looks-to-trump-for-help-i-am-appealing-to-him">for help</a>, possibly influenced by the U.S. president's pro-cryptocurrency stance.
The 8,000 Bitcoins would be worth $872.91 million at the all-time high price of $109.114 and $775.84 million at the prevailing market price of $96,980.84.

McDonald&#8217;s Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) is set to debut its first-ever meal collaboration with a female athlete on Monday, featuring basketball champion Angel Reese, just as the company prepares to release its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/25/02/43567615/mcdonalds-chart-is-smiling-ahead-of-q4-earnings-is-this-the-big-mac-moment">fourth-quarter earnings report</a> on Monday.
What Happened: The Angel Reese Special, which includes a BBQ Bacon Quarter Pounder with new Bold BBQ Sauce, World Famous Fries, and a choice of drink, marks a strategic expansion of McDonald&#8217;s sports-focused marketing initiatives. 
The collaboration was announced by Jennifer Healan, McDonald&#8217;s Vice President of Marketing, Brand, Content &amp; Culture, who emphasized the company&#8217;s commitment to strengthening its connection with basketball fans.
&#8220;McDonald&#8217;s has always been a big part of my life, from grabbing a McChicken Sandwich as a kid to being named a McDonald&#8217;s All-American in 2020,&#8221; Reese stated in the announcement. 
The meal will be available through McDonald&#8217;s mobile app, in restaurants, and drive-thrus at participating U.S. locations.

Why It Matters: The launch represents a significant marketing shift for McDonald&#8217;s, building upon its 40-year history with basketball through the McDonald&#8217;s All-American Games. The timing coincides with the company&#8217;s efforts to maintain momentum in 2025, following a modest year-to-date stock performance of +0.61% as of Friday.
Investors will be watching Monday&#8217;s earnings report closely to assess how such marketing initiatives, alongside other strategic moves, may impact the company&#8217;s financial performance. 
Price Action: McDonald&#8217;s shares closed at $294.30 on Friday, showing a slight decline of 0.02% for the day but maintaining a 1.68% gain over the past year, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

A Cybertruck reportedly crashed into a curb and a light post while Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) full self-driving (FSD) driver assistance technology was deployed.
What Happened: The accident was flagged by Jonathan Challinger, a Florida-based software engineer.
&#8220;Soooooo my Tesla Cybertruck crashed into a curb and then a light post on v13.2.4,&#8221; Challinger wrote on social media platform X on Sunday while terming FSD &#8220;the best passive safety in the world.&#8221;
The software engineer alleged that the vehicle did not attempt to slow down or turn off the lane until it hit the curb.
&#8220;Big fail on my part, obviously. Don&#8217;t make the same mistake I did. Pay attention. It can happen. I follow Tesla and FSD pretty closely and haven&#8217;t heard of any accident on V13 at all before this happened.

Why It Matters: U.S. auto safety regulator National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) flagged concerns about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41867551/tesla-faces-nhtsa-scrutiny-over-social-media-promotion-of-fsd-technology-that-shows-disengaged-driver-behavior">Tesla&#8217;s projection of FSD</a> on social media platform X in a letter to the EV giant last year.
Tesla's FSD technology is a driver assistance technology that requires active driver supervision. While vehicle owner manuals and YouTube videos clarify that the technology does not make the vehicle autonomous, Tesla's X account has reported or endorsed postings that "exhibit disengaged driver behavior," the auto safety regulator wrote in a letter to Tesla.
"We believe that Tesla&#8217;s postings conflict with its stated messaging that the driver is to maintain continued control over the dynamic driving task. We similarly observe that these postings may encourage viewers to see FSD-Supervised as a Chauffer or &#8220;Robotaxi&#8221; rather than a partial automation / driver assist system that requires persistent attention and intermittent intervention by the driver," the regulator said while requesting the EV giant to revisit its communications.
In October, the NHTSA also opened an investigation into<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41398764/nhtsa-opens-probe-into-2-4m-tesla-vehicles-after-reports-of-4-crashes-with-fsd-involved" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 2.4 million Tesla vehicles</a> following reports of four crashes in which FSD was engaged.
The regulator then said that it had identified four crash reports in which a Tesla experienced a crash after entering an area of &#8220;reduced roadway visibility&#8221; with FSD engaged.&nbsp;The reduced visibility, the regulator said, was caused by sun glare, fog, or airborne dust.
In one of the crashes, the vehicle struck and killed a pedestrian, the regulator added.
