A | LONDON -- Microsoft’s purchase of Call of Duty maker Activision Blizzard won final approval Friday from Britain’s competition watchdog, reversing its earlier decision to block the $69 billion gaming deal and removing the final obstacle for one of the largest tech transactions in history.The Xbox maker’s quest to acquire Activision — maker of other blockbuster games like Candy Crush, World of Warcraft, Diablo and Overwatch — could close imminently ahead of a Wednesday deadline. That would wrap up a merger delayed for close to two years by intense scrutiny from authorities around the world.The blessing from the U.K.'s Competition and Markets Authority was expected after it gave preliminary approval last month to a revamped Microsoft proposal meant to address concerns that the deal would harm competition and hurt gamers, especially in the emerging cloud gaming market where players can avoid buying pricey consoles and stream games to their tablets or phones. “The new deal will stop Microsoft from locking up competition in cloud gaming as this market takes off, preserving competitive prices and services for UK cloud gaming customers,” the watchdog said. Microsoft was grateful for the “thorough review and decision” on a tie-up that “will benefit players and the gaming industry worldwide,” President Brad Smith said.Activision CEO Bobby Kotick says the game maker looks "forward to becoming part of the Xbox Team.”The deal will benefit gamers and be “productive for the gaming industry as a whole," said Josh Chapman, managing partner at venture capital firm Konvoy, which invests in video game startups.However, it also tilts the “balance of power significantly" in favor of Microsoft, whose Xbox console has lagged behind Sony's PlayStation and Nintendo, said George Jijiashvili, senior principal analyst at tech research and advisory firm Omdia. Microsoft “now has a big opportunity to dictate the future of the games industry,” he said. Since the deal was announced in January 2022, Microsoft has secured approvals from antitrust authorities covering more than 40 countries. Crucially, it got a thumbs-up from the 27-nation European Union after agreeing to allow users and cloud gaming platforms to stream its titles without paying royalties for 10 years.But the deal faced resistance from British and American regulators who worried it would stifle competition in the video game industry. Top rival Sony also feared it would limit PlayStation gamers’ access to Call of Duty, Activision’s long-running military shooter series. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission lost a court bid to pause the deal so that its in-house judge could review it. The FTC hasn't given up, appealing the decision and last month filing notice of its plan to resume that trial. That signals the U.S. regulator's intention to unwind the deal even after it closes. In the meantime, the U.K. regulator was the last major hurdle to the transaction going through. To gets its approval, Microsoft will sell off cloud streaming rights outside the EU and three other European countries for all current and new Activision games released over the next 15 years to French game studio Ubisoft Entertainment. British regulators had initially blocked the transaction over concerns Microsoft could withhold Activision titles from the cloud gaming market. Then, in an unprecedented move, the U.K. watchdog said it needed to reconsider.One factor was the EU’s approval, granted after Microsoft promised to automatically license Activision titles royalty-free to cloud gaming platforms. Another “material change of circumstance,” according to court documents, was an agreement Microsoft signed with Sony to make Call of Duty available on PlayStation for at least 10 years.But the regulator still criticized how the deal came together and warned other companies not to use the “tactics employed by Microsoft.”“Microsoft had the chance to restructure during our initial investigation but instead continued to insist on a package of measures that we told them simply wouldn’t work,” the watchdog's CEO, Sarah Cardell, said in a statement. "Dragging out proceedings in this way only wastes time and money.”The U.K. regulator “deserves credit for imposing a structural remedy on Microsoft that is significantly stronger than the weak commitments accepted by the European Commission," said Max von Thun, director of the Europe office of the Open Markets Institute, a proponent of stronger antitrust enforcement. But the CMA's flip-flopping makes the U.K. regulator look “weak and indecisive,” he said.“Moving forward, there is now a serious risk that in their dealings with the CMA, merging companies and their advisors will no longer take no for an answer,” von Thun said. ___AP Technology Writer Matt O’Brien contributed from Providence, Rhode Island.。 预防诺如病毒 呵护健康成长 随着天气渐冷,传染病进入高发期,诺如病毒作为常见的肠道病毒,在寒冷天气下尤为活跃,威胁着幼儿的健康安全。为了全面提升师幼及家长的防控意识与能力,今天上午,幼儿园结合周一“国旗下的故事”积极开展了“预防诺如病毒 呵护健康成长”的主题宣教活动。 诺如病毒历险记 听故事了解诺如病毒 小朋友,你们好!我是诺如病毒,你们可以叫我诺如。

B | 我潜藏在牡蛎、扇贝、蛤蜊等双壳贝类中。

C | 诺如病毒 1.了解诺如从大海到人体内的历程。

D | 其实住在牡蛎里也不错,不过我在海里住腻了,想跟更多的伙伴一起热热闹闹地生活。一天我和我的宿主牡蛎一起被打捞起来,我寄宿的牡蛎被人买走了。 呀!好烫! 我寄宿的那只牡蛎被放在火上烤。要知道,我可是很怕烫的! 85摄氏度以上的高温加热超过90秒,我可就没命了! “啊呜!”就在这时,一个男孩一口把还没烤熟的牡蛎给吃了。 被人吃掉了,也就是说我来到了人体内?再过半天到两天,我就可以到达小肠。

E | 人体内真舒服,特别是小肠,这儿是我唯一可以大量复制伙伴的地方。 我的伙伴越来越多,小男孩开始拉肚子了。随着他的粪便,我和伙伴们被排到体外。我和伙伴们会随着冲马桶时旋转的水汽飞溅起来,人类吸入也会感染的。 2.讲解诺如病毒的特征:个头小、怕高温、喜欢藏在不干净的地方。 我个头小,很容易沾在干净的卫生纸上。

F | 人们用纸擦屁股时我就趁机沾到他们手上! 我先沾到爸爸妈妈身上,还有马桶也别漏了,我和伙伴们东沾沾西沾沾。还跟着他们,附着到他们路过的地方和碰过的东西上。

G | 我还会藏在灰尘里,等待再次进入人的身体。我们在人体内不断复制新病毒,除了让人拉肚子、肚子疼,还会让人呕吐。 感染者呕吐时,可以扩散到2米左右。所以,光清理呕吐物是无法消灭我的。悄悄告诉你,手指缝、指甲缝都是我们藏身的好地方! 吃午饭的时间到了。就算大家洗了手也没那么容易摆脱我。必须用肥皂或洗手液认真洗再用水冲干净,否则我还是会呆在你的手上。 3.诺如病毒的危害:诺如病毒会让人怎么样?(拉肚子、肚子疼、呕吐等)。 分享儿歌《预防诺如》 《预防诺如》 拉肚子 会呕吐 它的名字 叫诺如 这种病毒 要防住 小朋友 快快来 快来和我们防病毒 水要开 食要熟 饭前便后 要洗手 嗨吆嗨吆 要洗手 小朋友 要记住 生吃瓜果也要清洗 呕吐物 会感染 嗨吆嗨吆 会感染 嗨吆嗨吆 要清理 小朋友 要远离 消毒之后还要冲洗 脏食物 要丢弃 嗨吆嗨吆 要丢弃 嗨吆嗨吆 要注意 小朋友 别忘记 卫生饮食要记心里 一些其他事项 今天上午,幼儿园还给在拱墅区第二届“运河明珠”中小幼科技节上获奖的小朋友们颁发了荣誉证书。 孩子们真是太厉害啦!让我们祝贺他们! 祝贺孩子们 预防病毒感染,由我做起 让我们坚守每一道防线 让病毒无从入侵 杭州市实验幼儿园 hzssyyey 许你快乐成长童年。
