bmy88 app download apk 2021 Since their NWSL title-winning season in 2021, it’s been a bumpy road for the franchise, missing out on the playoffs in back-to-back seasons while compiling a 10-19-18 record overall. “Back then, it clearly wasn’t sustainable because after ’21, we kind of tanked,” goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury said. Change was certainly needed, but over the course of those two seasons, the foundation for future success under current team owner Michele Kang was placed. Those building blocks came in waves, from homegrown talent like Trinity Rodman and Tara McKeown to international signings like Leicy Santos and Esme Morgan. Saturday was a massive step in this rebuild as Washington returned to the NWSL Championship with an unforgettable semifinal win over NJ/NY Gotham FC. “Insane,” defender/midfielder Gabrielle Carle said. “It’s so insane to play in an environment like this.” Deafening is the only way to truly explain what it was like once Kingsbury saved her third and final penalty as 120 minutes of soccer wasn’t enough to decide a winner. Penalties were needed and the longtime keeper for the Spirit, someone who’s seen first-hand the highs and lows of the club, stood on her head to save all three Gotham penalties. “Going into that, I wasn’t nervous at all,” Kingsbury said. “It’s just like another day at training. I’ve made those saves many times, so I think that helped prepare me emotionally for those big moments.” Audi Field was literally shaking from the jumps of elation from more than 19,000 fans, who packed in for Washington’s third sellout of the season. They were treated to an instant classic, a match that saw everyone on the edge of their seats. “That was one of the most electric games I’ve ever played in,” defender Casey Krueger said. “The fans were just unreal.” Those clamoring for a big moment, especially after Gotham took a 1-0 lead off an Esther González header in the 56th minute, got just that from a pair of homegrown talents, part of this youth revolution happening with the Spirit. Clemson teammates and 2024 rookies Makenna Morris and Hal Hershfelt connected on a goal in the third minute of added time in the second half to level the score at 1-1. “It went over my head and then it was almost slow-motion,” defender Esme Morgan said. “I just saw her come from nowhere and then I actually watched it go into the top corner. It was amazing.” Hershfelt’s presence on the team only happened because Ashley Sanchez, one of the league’s best midfielders, was shockingly traded to North Carolina for the fifth overall pick in the NWSL Draft. The move sent ripples throughout the league, but already, Washington’s return in that move has produced an iconic moment in club history. “It’s not a coincidence,” head coach Jonatan Giráldez said. “It’s everything what she’s doing in the training session, in the way she believes in the training, how she develops her skills in the training and everything, what she’s doing.” Two weeks ago, another homegrown talent, defender Tara McKeown, made her mark in the quarterfinals, scoring her first goal of the season in the 86th minute, the equalizer against Bay FC in an eventual 2-1 win for Washington. Both were named to the NWSL Best XI second team this season, a deserving recognition for two shining examples of the now fortified foundation of this club. Last weekend, the Spirit got a glimpse of the summit and now, they have a chance to reach it, taking on the Orlando Pride on Saturday in Kansas City. “There’s just this belief that we’re never out of it, that whatever you throw at us, we’re going to find a way to win,” Kingsbury said. “... We just got one more to go.”HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Ashlon Jackson scored a career-high 30 points and No. 14 Duke defeated No. 10 Kansas State, 73-62 on Monday, in the semifinals of the Ball Dawgs Classic.

Vandal smashes Ebenezer Scrooge's tombstone used in 'A Christmas Carol' movie LONDON (AP) — If life imitates art, a vandal in the English countryside may be haunted by The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Police in the town of Shrewsbury are investigating how a tombstone at the fictional grave of Ebenezer Scrooge was destroyed. The movie prop used in the 1984 adaption of Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol” had become a tourist attraction. The film starred George C. Scott as the cold-hearted curmudgeon who is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve who show him what will become of his life if he doesn’t become a better person. West Mercia Police say the stone was vandalized in the past week. Megachurch founder T.D. Jakes suffers health incident during sermon at Dallas church DALLAS (AP) — The founder of Dallas-based megachurch The Potter's House, Bishop T.D. Jakes, was hospitalized after suffering what the church called a “slight health incident.” Jakes was speaking to churchgoers after he sat down and began trembling as several people gathered around him Sunday at the church. Jakes' daughter Sarah Jakes Roberts and her husband Touré Roberts said in a statement on social media late Sunday that Jakes was improving. The 67-year-old Jakes founded the non-denominational The Potter's House in 1996 and his website says it now has more than 30,000 members with campuses in Fort Worth and Frisco, Texas; and in Denver. At the crossroads of news and opinion, 'Morning Joe' hosts grapple with aftermath of Trump meeting The reaction of those who defended “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for meeting with President-elect Trump sounds almost quaint in the days of opinionated journalism. Doesn't it makes sense, they said, for hosts of a political news show to meet with such an important figure? But given how “Morning Joe” has attacked Trump, its viewers felt insulted. Many reacted quickly by staying away. It all reflects the broader trend of opinion crowding out traditional journalist in today's marketplace, and the expectations that creates among consumers. By mid-week, the show's audience was less than two-thirds what it has typically been this year. Pilot dies in plane crash in remote woods of New York, puppy found alive WINDHAM, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say a pilot and at least one dog he was transporting died when a small plane crashed in the snowy woods of the Catskill Mountains, though a puppy on the flight was found alive with two broken legs. The Greene County sheriff’s office says Seuk Kim of Springfield, Virginia, was flying from Maryland to Albany, New York, when the plane crashed at about 6:10 p.m. Sunday in a remote area. Officials believe the pilot died from the impact. The surviving dog was hospitalized, while a third dog was not located. The flight was connected with a not-for-profit group that transports rescue animals. Warren Buffett gives away another $1.1B and plans for distributing his $147B fortune after his death OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Investor Warren Buffett renewed his Thanksgiving tradition of giving by handing out more than $1.1 billion of Berkshire Hathaway stock to four of his family's foundations Monday, and he offered new details about who will be handing out the rest of his fortune after his death. Buffett has said previously that his three kids will distribute his remaining $147.4 billion fortune in the 10 years after his death, but now he has also designated successors for them because it’s possible that Buffett’s children could die before giving it all away. Buffett said he has no regrets about his decision to start giving away his fortune in 2006. Pop star Ed Sheeran apologizes to Man United boss Ruben Amorim for crashing interview MANCHESTER, England (AP) — British pop star Ed Sheeran has apologized to Ruben Amorim after inadvertently interrupting the new Manchester United head coach during a live television interview. Amorim was talking on Sky Sports after United’s 1-1 draw with Ipswich on Sunday when Sheeran walked up to embrace analyst Jamie Redknapp. The interview was paused before Redknapp told the pop star to “come and say hello in a minute.” Sheeran is a lifelong Ipswich fan and holds a minority stake in the club. He was pictured celebrating after Omari Hutchinson’s equalizing goal in the game at Portman Road. A desert oasis outside of Dubai draws a new caravan: A family of rodents from Argentina AL QUDRA LAKES, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A desert oasis hidden away in the dunes in the far reaches of skyscraper-studded Dubai has drawn a surprising new set of weary world travelers: a pack of Argentinian rodents. A number of Patagonian mara, a rabbit-like mammal with long legs, big ears and a body like a hoofed animal, now roam the grounds of Al Qudra Lakes, typically home to gazelle and other desert creatures of the United Arab Emirates. How they got there remains a mystery in the UAE, a country where exotic animals have ended up in the private homes and farms of the wealthy. But the pack appears to be thriving there and likely have survived several years already in a network of warrens among the dunes.

This week, I went to a theater to watch a showing of the black-and-white version of starring Keanu Reeves. Old-heads like me may recall it as a bad mid-90s cyberpunk film (written by William Gibson!) about a data courier whose brain is the storage medium, but who had to have his childhood memories erased to make space for the work. I hadn’t seen it since I was a kid, and you know what? It’s still not a good movie. But if you ignore the plot holes, mostly awful acting, and terrible pacing, it’s at least very cool to look at. Also, I had totally forgotten about Ice T’s turn as J-Bone, leader of the Lo-Tek underground. It was fun enough, but it was weird to hear the theater audience erupt with applause at the end, though, knowing how it was received almost three decades ago. At least some of the movies below, from the last week’s worth of trailers, are bound to be better. Jack Black’s Steve gets a backstory in the latest trailer. The trailer shows young Steve (you can tell he’s young because his beard is brown at first) mining his way into the blocky game world, where he discovers he can build anything he imagines, as long as it’s made with blocks. Plus we get a look at Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, and Sebastian Eugene Hansen, who all find themselves dropped into this world with a now-much-older Steve (who now has a gray beard to show the passage of time). You can catch in theaters on April 4th. Then you can follow it up with a in 2026 or so. The new teaser trailer from Pixar’s lets us know the film is still alive and well. The movie comes from screenwriter Adrian Molina, who co-directs alongside Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian. It features the voice of Yonas Kibreab as Elio, a child who gets abducted by aliens and pretends to be Earth’s leader. If is any indication, I expect I’ll be openly sobbing at the end. It’s out on June 13th. The FX spinoff is on its way in summer 2025, when it promises to finally* show us what it might be like to see xenomorphs on our planet.

Charles Spencer's estranged wife, 52, took to Instagram to share a house move update as she admitted to it being a "challenging time". Alongside a photo of two sheep in a lush fountain-adorned garden, the Canadian philanthropist penned: "It hasn't been easy finding a temporary rental that can accommodate seven horses, two sheep, four cats, and a dog - but with the help of some wonderful friends, we’ve finally found one. "It's been a challenging time, but also one filled with so much generosity and kindness. No exact move-in date yet, but we’re getting close," she continued.

The update regarding the Countess' new home comes just shortly after following her departure from the Althorp Estate - the Spencer ancestral residence where Charles and his late sister grew up. The social entrepreneur shared a lengthy post reflecting on her 13 years at the property, describing it as a "treasure trove" amid this "transitional" time in her life. "I will miss seeing your beautiful posts from Althorp House... You've made it more magical than it has been in decades, I'm sure," wrote one loyal follower, while another added: "What a beautiful example of how to carry oneself through life's ups and downs." The news that 's uncle had was shared with the public in June via the "I just want to devote myself to all my children, and , and I wish Karen every happiness in the future," Charles said. The pair wed in 2011 and share one daughter - Lady Charlotte - who was born in 2012. Charles is also a father to six children from previous relationships, and Karen is a mother to two.

I know you miss those campaign commercials on TV. They always said such nice things about their opponents. I know you miss getting those political flyers in the mail every day. They, too, always said such nice things about their opponents. Okay, I don’t miss it. And I don’t miss the all the predictions of doom and gloom over the outcome of the presidential election. You know, what if Donald Trump wins? Can our country stand four more years of his presidency? But what if Kamala Harris wins? Will we be a complete socialist country by the end of her term? Well, President Trump won, so we’ll find out if our country will survive four more years with him being in the White House. I don’t it will be the total disaster that many in the opposition are predicting. But I also don’t think, despite what many would like to believe, that all of the many problems our country is facing will be solved by Donald Trump relocating back to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Donald Trump won, so now that “what if” is now going to be a reality. There is one thing true about all things that are “what if.” Simply, they haven’t happened yet, and they might not happen at all. But we don’t know, and that often scares us. “What if’s” are fueled by fear, and fear loves to fill in the gaps when we don’t know. So, the “what if” might not happen. But it could. What do we do then? Maybe our response should be like that of three young Hebrew men many years ago. You probably heard their story back in Sunday School as a child. The three young men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, would not bow and worship the gold image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. They would only worship their God. The king was furious and demanded that they be thrown into the fiery furnace. But the three Hebrew men’s response to the king showed their faith in a real “what if” situation. They responded, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from your Majesty’s hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.” (Daniel 3:16-18) And they were thrown into the blazing furnace. But they didn’t get cremated. They didn’t get burned at all. Even their clothes didn’t smell like smoke. God had delivered them, and even the king recognized it, and gave honor to God. Back to their response to the king. The young Hebrews believed God would deliver them. But what if God chose not to do so? Their response was that they would still honor God no matter what. Their “what if” had become an “even if.” What if some of the fears now being promoted in some of the media actually come to pass over the next months and years? The truth is that there will be some difficult days ahead, no matter who is the president. How will you and I respond? But more importantly, how will we respond to the “what ifs” that we may face in our personal lives? What if we face sickness and bad health? What if our finances take a hit? What if a family crisis happens? Will we respond in fear, or will we respond in faith? Like the three young men in Babylon, our response can honor God. Even in the midst of uncertain times, our “what if” fears can become “even if” faith. Mac McPhail, raised in Sampson County, lives in Clinton.

Pressure is on the Albanese government to make headway on its long list of stalled legislation before the federal election, as the final sitting week of 2024 begins in Canberra today. Housing will be back in the spotlight with the Help to Buy government equity scheme and incentives for build-to-rent to be brought to a final vote in the Senate, after failing to pass without support from the opposition or the Greens. The government knocked back fresh demands from the Greens, which included funding for 25,000 “shovel-ready” homes not given the go-ahead under the first round of the Housing Australia Future Fund. Labor insists the demand is unlawful and would result in the construction of million-dollar homes that are not value for money. With 30 or so bills still before the parliament, the government has been ramping up pressure on the Greens and the coalition to co-operate. A friendless crackdown on misinformation and disinformation has been shelved, and gambling reforms have been pushed into next year. The government is expecting wins on its aged care reforms and its social media age limit, with the former expected to attract opposition support. Labor will also be spruiking its Future Made in Australia plan, with its hydrogen and critical minerals production tax incentives to be introduced to parliament on Monday. The federal election is due to be held by May 17. In the wee hours Sunday at the United Nations climate talks, countries from around the world reached an agreement on how rich countries can cough up the funds to support poor countries in the face of climate change. It’s a far-from-perfect arrangement, with many parties still deeply unsatisfied but some hopeful that the deal will be a step in the right direction. Here’s how they got there: Rich countries have agreed to pool together at least $300 billion a year by 2035. It’s not near the full amount of $1.3 trillion that developing countries were asking for, and that experts said was needed. But delegations more optimistic about the agreement said this deal is headed in the right direction, with hopes that more money flows in the future. The deal decided in Baku replaces a previous agreement from 15 years ago that charged rich nations $100 billion a year to help the developing world with climate finance. The new number has similar aims: it will go toward the developing world’s long laundry list of to-dos to prepare for a warming world and keep it from getting hotter. That includes paying for the transition to clean energy and away from fossil fuels. Countries need funds to build up the infrastructure needed to deploy technologies like wind and solar power on a large scale. Election results around the world that herald a change in climate leadership, a few key players with motive to stall the talks and a disorganized host country all led to a final crunch that left few happy with a flawed compromise. Developing nations also faced some difficulties agreeing in the final hours. Meanwhile, activists ramped up the pressure: many urged negotiators to stay strong and asserted that no deal would be better than a bad deal. But ultimately the desire for a deal won out. Good morning and welcome to the national news blog from and My name is Josefine Ganko, I’ll be with you on the blog for the first half of the day. It’s Monday, November 25. Here’s what’s making headlines this morning.SAN MARCOS, Calif., Nov. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Affirmed Housing, a leading provider of affordable housing throughout California, announces the completion of Estrella, a GreenPoint Rated, affordable housing development comprised of 96 apartment homes for families earning between 30 and 80 percent of the area median income (AMI). Estrella joins sister development Alora, concluding the two-phase redevelopment of a former affordable-housing complex, Mariposa, and resulting in a net gain of 126 new affordable housing apartments overall. To increase the city's housing stock, Affirmed Housing demolished the original single-story, 70-unit complex and recorded a new parcel map to make way for both new projects. In addition to Estrella's new 96 apartments, Alora, which was completed last year, brought another 100 apartments online for families and individuals earning between 30 and 80 percent AMI. "The completion of Estrella underscores our commitment to offer housing opportunities for everyone in San Marcos," shared San Marcos Mayor Rebecca Jones. "Estrella led San Marcos to achieve 10% restricted affordable housing out of all residential housing available in the city. The development of much-needed affordable housing options like Estrella and its sister project, Alora, expands accessibility to services that enhance the well-being of our community and meet their needs. Projects like these are key to preserving our exceptional quality of life for all." In developing Estrella, Affirmed Housing used a big-picture, sustainability-minded approach that aims to support residents' overall health and wellbeing. In addition to featuring the latest energy-saving and water-wise technologies throughout the complex, Estrella is intentionally designed to foster community engagement and accessibility. Residents have exclusive access to complimentary, on-site services intended to support those in need, such as computer training and resume-building resources and programs focused on health and wellness, financial literacy and parenting. A dedicated service coordinator is in place, in partnership with Compass for Affordable Housing, to plan and organize community-building activities and holiday events. "These projects demonstrate the City's leadership and commitment to providing quality resources that enhance everyday living for hardworking families and individuals," said Affirmed Housing President Jimmy Silverwood. "Estrella is an investment in the people of San Marcos, which is the best investment a city can make. This community raises the bar and serves as an example of what can happen when stakeholders align and focus on the common goal of doing what is right." Estrella features four residential buildings containing a mixture of one-, two, and three-bedroom apartments, and each has its own shared laundry facility. A separate community building incorporates several shared amenities that encourage resident engagement, including a kitchenette, computer room, barbecue area and bicycle parking. Four tot lots and a teen recreation area are also incorporated on the site. A total of 171 parking spaces are available, including eight EV-designated spots. Conveniently located within walking distance of Estrella are several off-site resources that promote residents' seamless living. In close proximity, there are grocery stores, a pharmacy, a neighborhood library, public parks and access to public transportation. A middle school is adjacent to the complex. Affirmed Housing's development partners for Estrella include the City of San Marcos, the County of San Diego, Compass for Affordable Housing, WNC, Banner Bank, DAHLIN Group Architecture Planning, Masson and Associates, and form/work Landscape Architecture.

From Maui to the Caribbean, Thanksgiving tournaments a beloved part of college basketballBOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — 2024 was a brutal year for the Amazon rainforest, with rampant wildfires and extreme drought ravaging large parts of a biome that’s a critical counterweight to climate change. A warming climate fed drought that in turn fed the worst year for fires since 2005. And those fires contributed to deforestation, with authorities suspecting some fires were set to more easily clear land to run cattle. The Amazon is twice the size of India and sprawls across eight countries and one territory, storing vast amounts of carbon dioxide that would otherwise warm the planet. It has about 20% of the world’s fresh water and astounding biodiversity, including 16,000 known tree species. But governments have historically viewed it as an area to be exploited, with little regard for sustainability or the rights of its Indigenous peoples, and experts say exploitation by individuals and organized crime is rising at alarming rates. “The fires and drought experienced in 2024 across the Amazon rainforest could be ominous indicators that we are reaching the long-feared ecological tipping point,” said Andrew Miller, advocacy director at Amazon Watch, an organization that works to protect the rainforest. “Humanity’s window of opportunity to reverse this trend is shrinking, but still open.” There were some bright spots. The level of Amazonian forest loss fell in both Brazil and Colombia. And nations gathered for the annual United Nations conference on biodiversity agreed to give Indigenous peoples more say in nature conservation decisions. “If the Amazon rainforest is to avoid the tipping point, Indigenous people will have been a determinant factor," Miller said. Forest loss in Brazil’s Amazon — home to the largest swath of this rainforest — dropped 30.6% compared to the previous year, the lowest level of destruction in nine years. The improvement under leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva contrasted with deforestation that hit a 15-year high under Lula's predecessor, far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro, who prioritized agribusiness expansion over forest protection and weakened environmental agencies. In July, Colombia reported historic lows in deforestation in 2023, driven by a drop in environmental destruction. The country's environment minister Susana Muhamad warned that 2024's figures may not be as promising as a significant rise in deforestation had already been recorded by July due to dry weather caused by El Nino, a weather phenomenon that warms the central Pacific. Illegal economies continue to drive deforestation in the Andean nation. “It’s impossible to overlook the threat posed by organized crime and the economies they control to Amazon conservation,” said Bram Ebus, a consultant for Crisis Group in Latin America. “Illegal gold mining is expanding rapidly, driven by soaring global prices, and the revenues of illicit economies often surpass state budgets allocated to combat them.” In Brazil, large swaths of the rainforest were draped in smoke in August from fires raging across the Amazon, Cerrado savannah, Pantanal wetland and the state of Sao Paulo. Fires are traditionally used for deforestation and for managing pastures, and those man-made blazes were largely responsible for igniting the wildfires. For a second year, the Amazon River fell to desperate lows , leading some countries to declare a state of emergency and distribute food and water to struggling residents. The situation was most critical in Brazil, where one of the Amazon River's main tributaries dropped to its lowest level ever recorded. Cesar Ipenza, an environmental lawyer who lives in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, said he believes people are becoming increasingly aware of the Amazon's fundamental role “for the survival of society as a whole." But, like Miller, he worries about a “point of no return of Amazon destruction.” It was the worst year for Amazon fires since 2005, according to nonprofit Rainforest Foundation US. Between January and October, an area larger than the state of Iowa — 37.42 million acres, or about 15.1 million hectares of Brazil’s Amazon — burned. Bolivia had a record number of fires in the first ten months of the year. “Forest fires have become a constant, especially in the summer months and require particular attention from the authorities who don't how to deal with or respond to them,” Ipenza said. Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Guyana also saw a surge in fires this year. The United Nations conference on biodiversity — this year known as COP16 — was hosted by Colombia. The meetings put the Amazon in the spotlight and a historic agreement was made to give Indigenous groups more of a voice on nature conservation decisions , a development that builds on a growing movement to recognize Indigenous people's role in protecting land and combating climate change. Both Ebus and Miller saw promise in the appointment of Martin von Hildebrand as the new secretary general for the Amazon Treaty Cooperation Organization, announced during COP16. “As an expert on Amazon communities, he will need to align governments for joint conservation efforts. If the political will is there, international backers will step forward to finance new strategies to protect the world’s largest tropical rainforest,” Ebus said. Ebus said Amazon countries need to cooperate more, whether in law enforcement, deploying joint emergency teams to combat forest fires, or providing health care in remote Amazon borderlands. But they need help from the wider world, he said. “The well-being of the Amazon is a shared global responsibility, as consumer demand worldwide fuels the trade in commodities that finance violence and environmental destruction,” he said. Next year marks a critical moment for the Amazon, as Belém do Pará in northern Brazil hosts the first United Nations COP in the region that will focus on climate. “Leaders from Amazon countries have a chance to showcase strategies and demand tangible support," Ebus said.

Marilyn Manson has dropped his defamation lawsuit against ex-fiancée Evan Rachel Wood following a two-year legal battle. Lawyers for both Manson and Wood confirmed the news to USA TODAY on Tuesday. As part of their Nov. 19 settlement agreement, which was reviewed by USA TODAY, Manson will pay Wood more than $326,000 to reimburse her attorneys' fees. In March 2022, Manson — whose real name is Brian Warner — sued Wood and her "romantic partner" Illma Gore in Los Angeles Superior Court, accusing them of spreading the "malicious falsehood" that "publicly cast" him as a "rapist and abuser." He also disputed their assertion that he'd "filmed the sexual assault of a minor" for a music video. Gore and Manson have since entered into a separate settlement agreement. "After 4 years of fighting a battle where he was able to tell the truth, Brian is pleased to dismiss his still-pending claims and appeal in order to close the door on this chapter of his life," one of Manson's lawyers, Howard King, said in a statement. Timeline of Marilyn Manson abuse claims: Including Evan Rachel Wood, Esmé Bianco's allegations Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. "Last year, the court granted Wood's motion, ruling that Manson's claims lack merit and gutting his lawsuit. The court ordered Manson to reimburse Wood almost $327,000 in attorneys' fees earlier this year," Woods' lawyers, Michael Kump, Shawn Holley and Katherine Kleindienst said in a statement. "Manson appealed the court's rulings. But this past spring, while his appeals were still pending, Manson reached out through his attorneys about settling his lawsuit. Manson initially offered to pay Wood a portion of her fees but demanded that the terms of the settlement be kept confidential and that Wood agree to make a 'mutually acceptable' public statement. "Wood rejected his proposal, making clear that she would never agree to any kind of confidentiality, joint statement, or discount on the fee award. Manson ultimately relented, agreeing to drop his lawsuit against Wood for good and to pay her the full fee award." In recent years, more than a dozen women including Wood and "Game of Thrones" actor Esmé Bianco have publicly accused Manson of sexual assault and abuse. Several of the lawsuits have been dismissed or settled. In a two-part HBO documentary released in 2022, " Phoenix Rising ," Wood alleged Manson raped her while filming a music video, hit her with a Nazi whip and made her drink his blood. She also said they branded each other's initials on their bodies and that she became pregnant in 2011 due to Manson insisting they not use condoms or birth control, but she opted to have an abortion. Manson has denied all allegations of misconduct and abuse. The two were in an on-again-off-again relationship for more than four years starting in 2006, when Wood was 18 and Manson was 37.

VANCOUVER — Vancouver Canucks defenceman Filip Hronek is expected to be out until the end of January as he recovers from a lower-body injury. General manager Patrik Allvin issued a statement Tuesday saying Hronek underwent a successful procedure for the undisclosed ailment and is expected to miss about eight weeks. He says the 27-year-old Czech blueliner will not require surgery for an upper-body injury. Hronek hasn't played since going into the endboards hard late in Vancouver's 5-4 loss to the Penguins in Pittsburgh last Wednesday. He's been paired with captain Quinn Hughes for much of the season and registered eight points (one goal, eight assists) in 21 games. The Canucks (13-7-3) have dealt with a litany of notable absences this season, including all-star goalie Thatcher Demko, who remains sidelined with a knee injury, and star centre J.T. Miller, who's on an indefinite leave for personal reasons. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 3, 2024. The Canadian Press

Court hears legal arguments in sex assault case of five hockey playersAfter 10 straight wins, Lions face Packers with much to accomplishLea Miller-Tooley hopped off a call to welcome the Baylor women’s basketball team to the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas, where 80-degree temperatures made it easy for the Bears to settle in on Paradise Island a week before Thanksgiving. About 5,000 miles west of the Caribbean nation, similar climes awaited Maui Invitational men's teams in Hawaii. They’ve often been greeted with leis, the traditional Hawaiian welcome of friendship. College basketball teams and fans look forward to this time of the year. The holiday week tournaments feature buzzworthy matchups and all-day TV coverage, sure, but there is a familiarity about them as they help ward off the November chill. For four decades, these sandy-beach getaways filled with basketball have become a beloved mainstay of the sport itself. “When you see (ESPN’s) ‘Feast Week’ of college basketball on TV, when you see the Battle 4 Atlantis on TV, you know college basketball is back,” said Miller-Tooley, the founder and organizer of the Battle 4 Atlantis men's and women's tournaments. “Because it’s a saturated time of the year with the NFL, college football and the NBA. But when you see these gorgeous events in these beautiful places, you realize, ‘Wow, hoops are back, let’s get excited.’” The Great Alaska Shootout was the trend-setting multiple-team event (MTE) nearly five decades ago. The brainchild of late Alaska-Anchorage coach Bob Rachal sought to raise his program’s profile by bringing in national-power programs, which could take advantage of NCAA rules allowing them to exceed the maximum allotment of regular-season games if they played the three-game tournament outside the contiguous 48 states. The first edition, named the Sea Wolf Classic, saw N.C. State beat Louisville 72-66 for the title on Nov. 26, 1978. The Maui Invitational followed in November 1984, borne from the buzz of NAIA program Chaminade’s shocking upset of top-ranked Virginia and 7-foot-4 star Ralph Sampson in Hawaii two years earlier. Events kept coming, with warm-weather locales getting in on the action. The Paradise Jam in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Cancun Challenge in Mexico. The Cayman Islands Classic. The Jamaica Classic. The Myrtle Beach Invitational joining the Charleston Classic in South Carolina. Numerous tournaments in Florida. Some events have faded away like the Puerto Rico Tipoff and the Great Alaska Shootout, the latter in 2017 amid event competition and schools opting for warm-weather locales. Notre Dame takes on Chaminade during the first half of a 2017 game in Lahaina, Hawaii. Miller-Tooley’s push to build an MTE for Atlantis began as a December 2010 doubleheader with Georgia Tech beating Richmond and Virginia Tech beating Mississippi State in a prove-it moment for a tournament’s viability. It also required changing NCAA legislation to permit MTEs in the Bahamas. Approval came in March 2011; the first eight-team Atlantis men’s tournament followed in November. That tournament quickly earned marquee status with big-name fields, with Atlantis champions Villanova (2017) and Virginia (2018) later winning that season’s NCAA title. Games run in a ballroom-turned-arena at the resort, where players also check out massive swimming pools, water slides and inner-tube rapids surrounded by palm trees and the Atlantic Ocean. “It’s just the value of getting your passport stamped, that will never get old,” Miller-Tooley said. “Watching some of these kids, this may be their first and last time – and staff and families – that they ever travel outside the United States. ... You can see through these kids’ eyes that it’s really an unbelievable experience.” ACC Network analyst Luke Hancock knows that firsthand. His Louisville team finished second at Atlantis in 2012 and won that year’s later-vacated NCAA title, with Hancock as the Final Four's most outstanding player. “I remember (then-coach Rick Pitino) saying something to the effect of: ‘Some of you guys might never get this opportunity again. We’re staying in this unbelievable place, you’re doing it with people you love,’” Hancock said. “It was a business trip for us there at Thanksgiving, but he definitely had a tone of ‘We’ve got to enjoy this as well.’” Maui offers similar vibes, though 2024 could be a little different as Lahaina recovers from deadly 2023 wildfires that forced the event's relocation last year. North Carolina assistant coach Sean May played for the Tar Heels’ Maui winner in 2004 and was part of UNC’s staff for the 2016 champion, with both teams later winning the NCAA title. May said “you just feel the peacefulness” of the area — even while focusing on games — and savors memories of the team taking a boat out on the Pacific Ocean after title runs under now-retired Hall of Famer Roy Williams. “Teams like us, Dukes, UConns – you want to go to places that are very well-run,” May said. “Maui, Lea Miller with her group at the Battle 4 Atlantis, that’s what drives teams to come back because you know you’re going to get standard A-quality of not only the preparation but the tournament with the way it’s run. Everything is top-notch. And I think that brings guys back year after year.” That’s why Colorado coach Tad Boyle is so excited for the Buffaloes’ first Maui appearance since 2009. “We’ve been trying to get in the tournament since I got here,” said Boyle, now in his 15th season. And of course, that warm-weather setting sure doesn’t hurt. “If you talk about the Marquettes of the world, St. John’s, Providence – they don’t want that cold weather,” said NBA and college TV analyst Terrence Oglesby, who played for Clemson in the 2007 San Juan Invitational in Puerto Rico. “They’re going to have to deal with that all January and February. You might as well get a taste of what the sun feels like.” Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo argues a call during the first half of a Nov. 16 game against Bowling Green in East Lansing, Michigan. Mi zzo is making his fourth trip to Maui. The men’s Baha Mar Championship in Nassau, Bahamas, got things rolling last week with No. 11 Tennessee routing No. 13 Baylor for the title. The week ahead could boast matchups befitting the Final Four, with teams having two weeks of action since any opening-night hiccups. “It’s a special kickoff to the college basketball season,” Oglesby said. “It’s just without the rust.” On the women’s side, Atlantis began its fourth eight-team women’s tournament Saturday with No. 16 North Carolina and No. 18 Baylor, while the nearby Baha Mar resort follows with two four-team women’s brackets that include No. 2 UConn, No. 7 LSU, No. 17 Mississippi and No. 20 N.C. State. Then come the men’s headliners. The Maui Invitational turns 40 as it opens Monday back in Lahaina. It features second-ranked and two-time reigning national champion UConn, No. 4 Auburn, No. 5 Iowa State and No. 10 North Carolina. The Battle 4 Atlantis opens its 13th men’s tournament Wednesday, topped by No. 3 Gonzaga, No. 16 Indiana and No. 17 Arizona. Michigan State Hall of Famer Tom Izzo is making his fourth trip to Maui, where he debuted as Jud Heathcote’s successor at the 1995 tournament. Izzo's Spartans have twice competed at Atlantis, last in 2021. “They’re important because they give you something in November or December that is exciting,” Izzo said. Any drawbacks? “It’s a 10-hour flight,” he said of Hawaii. Mike Tyson, left, slaps Jake Paul during a weigh-in ahead of their heavyweight bout, Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024, in Irving, Texas.

Independents, rebels, and friendly fights deliver a blow to MVAF.P. Report ISLAMABAD: A high-level Belarusian delegation arrived in Pakistan on Sunday as the two countries prepare to deepen bilateral economic collaboration, with the president of the Eastern European state, Aleksandr Lukashenko, scheduled to reach Islamabad tomorrow.

According to Pakistan’s foreign office, the delegation includes 43 business leaders and 25 ministerial officials.

Trump raced to pick many Cabinet posts. He took more time to settle on a treasury secretary WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump launched a blitz of picks for his Cabinet, but he took his time settling on billionaire investor Scott Bessent as his choice for treasury secretary. The Republican not only wanted someone who jibes with him, but an official who can execute his economic vision and look straight out of central casting while doing so. With his Yale University education and pedigree trading for Soros Fund Management before establishing his own funds, Bessent will be tasked with a delicate balancing act. Trump expects him to help reset the global trade order, enable trillions of dollars in tax cuts, ensure inflation stays in check, manage a ballooning national debt and still keep the financial markets confident. Voters rejected historic election reforms across the US, despite more than $100M push JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Election reform advocates had hoped for a big year at the ballot box. That's because a historic number of states were considering initiatives for ranked choice voting or to end partisan primaries. Instead, voters dealt them big losses in the November elections. Voters in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and South Dakota all rejected proposed changes to their voting systems. In Alaska, a proposal to repeal ranked choice voting appears to have narrowly fallen short. The losses in many states came even though election reform supporters raised more than $100 million, easily outpacing opponents. Supporters say they aren't giving up but plan to retool their efforts. The week that upped the stakes of the Ukraine war KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — This past week has seen the most significant escalation in hostilities Ukraine has witnessed since Russia's full-scale invasion and marks a new chapter in the nearly three-year war. It began with U.S. President Joe Biden reversing a longstanding policy by granting Kyiv permission to deploy American longer-range missiles inside Russian territory and ended with Moscow striking Ukraine with a new experimental ballistic weapon that has alarmed the international community and heightened fears of further escalation. Israeli strikes without warning in central Beirut kill at least 15 as diplomats push for cease-fire BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — Lebanese officials say Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 15 people and injured dozens in central Beirut as the once-rare strikes in the heart of Lebanon’s capital continue without Israeli warning. Diplomats are scrambling to broker a cease-fire but describe the disputed issues that remain. The current proposal calls for a two-month cease-fire during which Israeli forces would withdraw from Lebanon and Hezbollah would end its armed presence along the southern border south of the Litani River. Lebanon’s Health Ministry says Israeli bombardment has killed more than 3,500 people in Lebanon in the months of fighting that have turned into all-out war. Storm dumps record rain in Northern California, while US Northeast deals with winter storms HEALDSBURG, Calif. (AP) — A major storm continues to drop heavy snow and record rain in California, causing small landslides and flooding some streets. Meanwhile on the opposite coast blizzard or winter storm warnings were in effect Saturday for areas spanning from the Northeast to central Appalachia. The storm on the West Coast arrived in the Pacific Northwest earlier this week, killing two people and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands, before moving through Northern California. Forecasters predicted that both coasts would begin to see a reprieve from the storms as the system in the northeast moves into eastern Canada and the one in the West heads south. Even with access to blockbuster obesity drugs, some people don't lose weight Most people taking popular drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy to lose weight have shed significant pounds. But obesity experts say that roughly 20% of patients — as many as 1 in 5 — may not see robust results with the new medications. The response to the drugs varies from person to person and can depend on genetics, hormones and differences in how the brain regulates energy. Undiagnosed medical conditions and some drugs can prevent weight loss. Experts say it can take experimentation to help so-called nonresponders find results. Fighting between armed sectarian groups in restive northwestern Pakistan kills at least 37 people PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — A senior Pakistani police officer says fighting between armed sectarian groups in the country's restive northwest has killed at least 37 people. The overnight violence was the latest to rock Kurram, a district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and comes days after a deadly gun ambush killed 42 people. The officer said Saturday that armed men torched shops, houses and government property overnight. Gunfire is ongoing between rival tribes. Although Sunnis and Shiites generally live together peacefully in Pakistan, tensions remain in some areas, especially Kurram. These Peruvian women left the Amazon, but their homeland still inspires their songs and crafts LIMA, Peru (AP) — Many Shipibo-Konibo craftswomen migrated from their Indigenous communities in the Amazon to Peru's capital, Lima, in the past few decades. Their ancestors' legacy remains present through their songs and techniques, and some of them have managed to make a living out of their crafts. Textiles, jewelry and paintings convey the culture, worldview and beliefs from the lands where they were born. Doctor at the heart of Turkey's newborn baby deaths case says he was a 'trusted' physician ISTANBUL (AP) — The Turkish doctor at the center of an alleged fraud scheme that led to the deaths of 10 babies says he was a “trusted” physician. Dr. Firat Sari is one of 47 people on trial accused of transferring newborn babies to neonatal units of private hospitals, where they were allegedly kept for prolonged and sometimes unnecessary treatments in order to receive social security payments. Sari said patients were referred to him because people trusted him and he did not bribe anyone involved with Turkey’s emergency medical phone line. Sari, said to be the plot’s ringleader, faces up to 583 years in prison. Hydrate. Make lists. Leave yourself time. And other tips for reducing holiday travel stress Travel, especially during the holiday season, can be stressful. But following some tips from the pros as you prepare for a trip can make for a smoother, less anxious experience. One expert traveler suggests making a list a week before you go of things you need to do and pack. Cross off each item as you complete it during the week. Another tip: Carry your comfort zone with you. That could mean noise-cancelling headphones, playlists meant to soothe airport travelers, entertainment and snacks from home. Carry a change of clothes and a phone charger in case of delays. Stay hydrated. Leave extra time. And know your airline's rules. Downloading the airline's app can help with that.Gumbel was the studio host for CBS since returning to the network from NBC in 1998.

Amgen Stock Dives After Weight-Loss Drug Data. Here’s What to Know. - Barron'sBy MICHELLE L. PRICE WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — An online spat between factions of Donald Trump’s supporters over immigration and the tech industry has thrown internal divisions in his political movement into public display, previewing the fissures and contradictory views his coalition could bring to the White House. The rift laid bare the tensions between the newest flank of Trump’s movement — wealthy members of the tech world including billionaire Elon Musk and fellow entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and their call for more highly skilled workers in their industry — and people in Trump’s Make America Great Again base who championed his hardline immigration policies. The debate touched off this week when Laura Loomer , a right-wing provocateur with a history of racist and conspiratorial comments, criticized Trump’s selection of Sriram Krishnan as an adviser on artificial intelligence policy in his coming administration. Krishnan favors the ability to bring more skilled immigrants into the U.S. Loomer declared the stance to be “not America First policy” and said the tech executives who have aligned themselves with Trump were doing so to enrich themselves. Much of the debate played out on the social media network X, which Musk owns. Loomer’s comments sparked a back-and-forth with venture capitalist and former PayPal executive David Sacks , whom Trump has tapped to be the “White House A.I. & Crypto Czar.” Musk and Ramaswamy, whom Trump has tasked with finding ways to cut the federal government , weighed in, defending the tech industry’s need to bring in foreign workers. It bloomed into a larger debate with more figures from the hard-right weighing in about the need to hire U.S. workers, whether values in American culture can produce the best engineers, free speech on the internet, the newfound influence tech figures have in Trump’s world and what his political movement stands for. Trump has not yet weighed in on the rift, and his presidential transition team did not respond to a message seeking comment. Musk, the world’s richest man who has grown remarkably close to the president-elect , was a central figure in the debate, not only for his stature in Trump’s movement but his stance on the tech industry’s hiring of foreign workers. Technology companies say H-1B visas for skilled workers, used by software engineers and others in the tech industry, are critical for hard-to-fill positions. But critics have said they undercut U.S. citizens who could take those jobs. Some on the right have called for the program to be eliminated, not expanded. Born in South Africa, Musk was once on an a H-1B visa himself and defended the industry’s need to bring in foreign workers. “There is a permanent shortage of excellent engineering talent,” he said in a post. “It is the fundamental limiting factor in Silicon Valley.” Related Articles National Politics | Should the U.S. increase immigration levels for highly skilled workers?

His tough immigration policies, including his pledge for a mass deportation, were central to his winning presidential campaign. He has focused on immigrants who come into the U.S. illegally but he has also sought curbs on legal immigration , including family-based visas. As a presidential candidate in 2016, Trump called the H-1B visa program “very bad” and “unfair” for U.S. workers. After he became president, Trump in 2017 issued a “Buy American and Hire American” executive order , which directed Cabinet members to suggest changes to ensure H-1B visas were awarded to the highest-paid or most-skilled applicants to protect American workers. Trump’s businesses, however, have hired foreign workers, including waiters and cooks at his Mar-a-Lago club , and his social media company behind his Truth Social app has used the the H-1B program for highly skilled workers. During his 2024 campaign for president, as he made immigration his signature issue, Trump said immigrants in the country illegally are “poisoning the blood of our country” and promised to carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history. But in a sharp departure from his usual alarmist message around immigration generally, Trump told a podcast this year that he wants to give automatic green cards to foreign students who graduate from U.S. colleges. “I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country,” he told the “All-In” podcast with people from the venture capital and technology world. Those comments came on the cusp of Trump’s budding alliance with tech industry figures, but he did not make the idea a regular part of his campaign message or detail any plans to pursue such changes.

Cashing in on no jobsNEW YORK — Same iconic statue, very different race. With two-way star Travis Hunter of Colorado and Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty leading the field, these certainly aren't your typical Heisman Trophy contenders. Sure, veteran quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel from top-ranked Oregon and Cam Ward of No. 15 Miami are finalists for college football's most prestigious award as well, but the 90th annual ceremony coming up Saturday night at Lincoln Center in New York City offers a fresh flavor this year. To start with, none of the four are from the powerhouse Southeastern Conference, which has produced four of the past five Heisman winners — two each from Alabama and LSU. Jeanty, who played his home games for a Group of Five team on that peculiar blue turf in Idaho more than 2,100 miles from Manhattan, is the first running back even invited to the Heisman party since 2017. After leading the country with 2,497 yards rushing and 29 touchdowns, he joined quarterback Kellen Moore (2010) as the only Boise State players to be named a finalist. "The running back position has been overlooked for a while now," said Jeanty, who plans to enter the 2025 NFL draft. "There's been a lot of great running backs before me that should have been here in New York, so to kind of carry on the legacy of the running back position I think is great. ... I feel as if I'm representing the whole position." With the votes already in, all four finalists spent Friday conducting interviews and sightseeing in the Big Apple. They were given custom, commemorative watches to mark their achievement. "I'm not a watch guy, but I like it," said Hunter, flashing a smile. The players also took photos beneath the massive billboards in Times Square and later posed with the famous Heisman Trophy, handed out since 1935 to the nation's most outstanding performer. Hunter, the heavy favorite, made sure not to touch it yet. A dominant player on both offense and defense who rarely comes off the field, the wide receiver/cornerback is a throwback to generations gone by and the first full-time, true two-way star in decades. On offense, he had 92 catches for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns this season to help the 20th-ranked Buffaloes (9-3) earn their first bowl bid in four years. On defense, he made four interceptions, broke up 11 passes and forced a critical fumble that secured an overtime victory against Baylor. Hunter played 688 defensive snaps and 672 more on offense — the only Power Four conference player with 30-plus snaps on both sides of the ball, according to Colorado research. Call him college football's answer to baseball unicorn Shohei Ohtani. "I think I laid the ground for more people to come in and go two ways," Hunter said. "It starts with your mindset. If you believe you can do it, then you'll be able to do it. And also, I do a lot of treatment. I keep up with my body. I get a lot of recovery." Hunter is Colorado's first Heisman finalist in 30 years. The junior from Suwanee, Georgia, followed flashy coach Deion Sanders from Jackson State, an HBCU that plays in the lower level FCS, to the Rocky Mountains and has already racked up a staggering combination of accolades this week, including The Associated Press player of the year. Hunter also won the Walter Camp Award as national player of the year, along with the Chuck Bednarik Award as the top defensive player and the Biletnikoff Award for best wide receiver. "It just goes to show that I did what I had to do," Hunter said. Next, he'd like to polish off his impressive hardware collection by becoming the second Heisman Trophy recipient in Buffaloes history, after late running back Rashaan Salaam in 1994. "I worked so hard for this moment, so securing the Heisman definitely would set my legacy in college football," Hunter said. "Being here now is like a dream come true." Jeanty carried No. 8 Boise State (12-1) to a Mountain West Conference championship that landed the Broncos the third seed in this year's College Football Playoff. They have a first-round bye before facing the SMU-Penn State winner in the Fiesta Bowl quarterfinal on New Year's Eve. The 5-foot-9, 215-pound junior from Jacksonville, Florida, won the Maxwell Award as college football's top player and the Doak Walker Award for best running back. Jeanty has five touchdown runs of at least 70 yards and has rushed for the fourth-most yards in a season in FBS history — topping the total of 115 teams this year. He needs 132 yards to break the FBS record set by Heisman Trophy winner Barry Sanders at Oklahoma State in 1988. In a pass-happy era, however, Jeanty is trying to become the first running back to win the Heisman Trophy since Derrick Henry for Alabama nine years ago. In fact, quarterbacks have snagged the prize all but four times this century. Gabriel, an Oklahoma transfer, led Oregon (13-0) to a Big Ten title in its first season in the league and the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff. The steady senior from Hawaii passed for 3,558 yards and 28 touchdowns with six interceptions. His 73.2% completion rate ranks second in the nation, and he's attempting to join quarterback Marcus Mariota (2014) as Ducks players to win the Heisman Trophy. "I think all the memories start to roll back in your mind," Gabriel said. Ward threw for 4,123 yards and led the nation with a school-record 36 touchdown passes for the high-scoring Hurricanes (10-2) after transferring from Washington State. The senior from West Columbia, Texas, won the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback of the Year award and is looking to join QBs Vinny Testaverde (1986) and Gino Torretta (1992) as Miami players to go home with the Heisman. "I just think there's a recklessness that you have to play with at the quarterback position," Ward said. Get local news delivered to your inbox!

What Is Thread Rolling and How Does It Work? 12-19-2024 11:04 PM CET | Industry, Real Estate & Construction Press release from: ABNewswire Thread rolling stands as a pivotal manufacturing process that forms threads on a workpiece using hardened steel dies. You will find this method highly efficient, producing threads of exceptional quality. Unlike traditional cutting methods, thread rolling does not remove material. Instead, it deforms the workpiece to create threads, enhancing the strength and durability of the final product. This process often results in stronger threads with better wear resistance. The use of a thread rolling die ensures precision and consistency, making it a preferred choice in various industries. Benefits of Thread Rolling Image: https://ecdn6.globalso.com/upload/p/316/image_product/2024-11/3-4-4.jpg Thread rolling offers numerous advantages that make it a preferred method in manufacturing. You will find that it enhances the quality, strength, and finish of threads while also reducing costs. Higher Quality and Accuracy Thread rolling ensures higher quality and accuracy in thread production. Consistent thread dimensions You achieve consistent thread dimensions with thread rolling. The process uses a thread rolling die to form threads precisely. This consistency is crucial for applications requiring exact specifications. Reduced variability in production Thread rolling reduces variability in production. You can rely on this method to produce uniform threads across large batches. This uniformity minimizes errors and defects, leading to more reliable products. Produce Higher Strength Joints Thread rolling strengthens joints significantly. Work hardening of the material The process involves work hardening of the material. As you roll the threads, the material becomes denser and stronger. This increased strength enhances the durability of the threads. Improved fatigue resistance Thread rolling improves fatigue resistance. You will notice that rolled threads withstand repeated stress better than cut threads. This resistance makes them ideal for demanding applications. Higher Quality Finish Thread rolling provides a superior finish to threads. Smooth surface texture You achieve a smooth surface texture with thread rolling. The process compresses the material, resulting in a polished appearance. This smoothness reduces friction and wear during use. Reduced need for additional finishing Thread rolling reduces the need for additional finishing. You save time and resources by eliminating extra steps in the manufacturing process. This efficiency contributes to lower production costs. Lowers Costs Thread rolling significantly lowers production costs, making it an economical choice for manufacturers. Faster production times You will experience faster production times with thread rolling. The process is efficient and streamlined, allowing you to produce threads quickly. This speed reduces the time needed for each batch, increasing your overall productivity. By minimizing downtime, you can meet tight deadlines and boost your output. Reduced material waste Thread rolling reduces material waste. Unlike cutting methods, this process does not remove material but deforms it to create threads. You conserve resources by using only what is necessary, which leads to cost savings. This efficiency not only benefits your budget but also supports sustainable manufacturing practices. Thread Rolling Die In the thread rolling process, the thread rolling die plays a crucial role. You rely on these dies to shape and form threads on a workpiece. They consist of hardened steel, which ensures durability and precision. As you engage in thread rolling, the die exerts pressure on the workpiece. This pressure deforms the material, creating threads without removing any part of it. The thread rolling die ensures that each thread is consistent and accurate, meeting the required specifications. Image: https://ecdn6.globalso.com/upload/p/316/image_product/2024-11/1732166083594.jpg Role in the Thread Rolling Process The thread rolling die serves as the primary tool in the thread rolling process. You use it to apply force to the workpiece, which results in the formation of threads. The die's design allows it to grip the workpiece securely, ensuring that the threads are formed accurately. As you roll the die over the workpiece, it compresses the material, enhancing the strength and durability of the threads. This process not only improves the quality of the threads but also increases their resistance to wear and fatigue. Types of Thread Rolling Dies You will find several types of thread rolling dies, each suited for different applications. The most common types include flat dies, cylindrical dies, and planetary dies. * Flat Dies: These dies consist of two flat plates. You place the workpiece between them, and as the plates move, they form the threads. Flat dies are ideal for producing short threads and are often used in high-volume production. * Cylindrical Dies: These dies are circular and rotate around the workpiece. You use cylindrical dies for longer threads and continuous production. They provide excellent precision and are suitable for various thread sizes. * Planetary Dies: These dies involve multiple smaller dies that rotate around the workpiece. You choose planetary dies for complex thread shapes and high-speed production. They offer flexibility and can handle different thread profiles. Each type of thread rolling die offers unique advantages, allowing you to select the best option for your specific manufacturing needs. By understanding the role and types of thread rolling dies, you can optimize your thread rolling process and achieve superior results. Thread rolling stands as a preferred method in manufacturing for producing high-quality, accurate, and strong threads. You gain significant cost savings and efficiency improvements over other methods. The process uses a thread rolling die to ensure precision and consistency, making it essential for industries requiring reliable and durable threaded components. By choosing thread rolling, you enhance the strength and durability of your products, ensuring they meet the demands of various applications. This method not only boosts your production efficiency but also supports sustainable manufacturing practices. Media Contact Company Name: Zhejiang Wanying Henghui Thread Technology Co., Ltd.

NEW YORK — An early rebound for U.S. stocks Thursday petered out by the end of the day, leaving indexes close to flat. The S&P 500 edged down by 0.1% following Wednesday’s tumble of 2.9% when the Federal Reserve said it may deliver fewer cuts to interest rates next year than earlier thought. The index was up as much as 1.1% in the morning. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 15 points, or less than 0.1%, following Wednesday’s drop of 1,123 points, while the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.1%. This week’s struggles took some of the enthusiasm out of the market, which critics were warning was overly buoyant and would need everything to go correctly for it to justify its high prices. But indexes remain near their records, and the S&P 500 is still on track for one of its best years of the millennium with a gain of 23%. Traders now expect the Federal Reserve to deliver just one or maybe two cuts to interest rates next year, according to data from CME Group. Some are even betting on none. A month ago, the majority saw at least two cuts in 2025 as a safe bet. Wall Street loves lower interest rates because they give the economy a boost and goose prices for investments, but they can also provide fuel for inflation. Micron Technology was one of the heaviest weights on the S&P 500 Thursday. It fell 16.2% despite reporting stronger profit for the latest quarter than expected. The computer memory company’s revenue fell short of Wall Street’s forecasts, and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said it expects demand from consumers to remain weaker in the near term. It gave a forecast for revenue in the current quarter that fell well short of what analysts were thinking. Lamb Weston, which makes French fries and other potato products, dropped 20.1% after falling short of analysts’ expectations for profit and revenue in the latest quarter. It also cut its financial targets for the fiscal year, saying demand for frozen potatoes is continuing to soften, particularly outside North America. The company replaced its chief executive. Such losses helped overshadow a 14.7% jump for Darden Restaurants, the company behind Olive Garden and other chains. It delivered profit for the latest quarter that edged past analysts’ expectations. The operator of LongHorn Steakhouses also gave a forecast for revenue for this fiscal year that topped analysts’. In the bond market, yields were mixed a day after shooting higher on expectations the Fed would deliver fewer cuts to rates in 2025.The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.57% from 4.52% late Wednesday and from less than 4.20% earlier this month. But the two-year yield, which more closely tracks expectations for action by the Fed in the near term, eased back to 4.31% from 4.35%. All told, the S&P 500 slipped 5.08 points to 5,867.08. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 15.37 to 42,342.24, and the Nasdaq composite lost 19.92 to 19,372.77. Get local news delivered to your inbox!

Fans of influencer Dora Moono Nyambe give wild theory on her cause of death after final cryptic post READ MORE: Beloved TikTok star Dora Moono Nyambe suddenly dies at age 32 By NOA HALFF FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 19:03 GMT, 29 December 2024 | Updated: 19:27 GMT, 29 December 2024 e-mail 1 View comments A popular influencer, who died suddenly after dedicating her life to helping vulnerable children, posted a cryptic message about being called a 'witch' by local villagers just days before her death. Dora Moono Nyambe , 32, passed away in the early hours of December 26 in Zambia after driving herself to hospital on Christmas night. On Christmas Day, just hours before she fell ill, Moono appeared healthy and active online to her 114,000 followers and supporters. Now, social media has erupted with wild theories about her sudden death, with some followers fixating on one of her final cryptic Instagram posts. She captioned one of her last videos: 'The villagers still call me a witch yeah like I'll bewitch with my phone when calling the police.' Some of her followers have claimed that the circumstances of her death are 'too suspicious to be natural.' A formal cause of death has not yet been determined. Speaking about the allegations of witchcraft, one of Nyambe's followers wrote: 'Why was she labeled a witch right before this happened? We need answers!' 'No f****** way,' another bold user commented, speculating that foul play was involved. No formal investigation into the woman's death has been announced. TikTok star and humanitarian, Dora Moono Nyambe, suddenly passed away at the age of 32 on Wednesday, December 25 'They killed her. They as in the same people that kill the good people that are changing the world for the better. Every freak accident you see about someone who was creating a cure etc was NOT just a freak accident,' the user wrote online. 'I'm not even surprised in just so upset. She has helped and saved so many children god i hope they stay healthy and safe and find comfort in this time. I’m crying like I lost a loved one this lady was a true angel.' Read More Beloved TikTok star and humanitarian suddenly dies at age 32 Another person online claimed: 'Dora Moono Nyambe was a young feminist philanthropist who rescued girls from child marriage... [and was] frequently accused of witchcraft.' Rumors surrounding her death have spiraled online - with some people speculating that she was poisoned by villagers following her yearslong work with vulnerable children. 'On Christmas day, she drove herself to the hospital and died It is suspected she was poisoned,' one user posted on X, formerly Twitter. There is no evidence that the humanitarian was killed. Now, social media has erupted with wild theories about her sudden death, with some followers fixating on one of her final cryptic Instagram posts But some of Moono's loyal supporters have slammed the baseless speculation and say people should focus on and 'respect her legacy.' The controversy has sparked concern among potential donors to her charity, Footprints of Hope, with many writing that they are apprehensive to donate until her official cause of death is determined. Before her tragic passing, Moono - whose heartwarming videos of her work in Zambia attracted more than four million followers - had transformed countless lives through her remarkable work. The media personality is known for launching her nonprofit Footprints of Hope in 2019, and for building a school in Zambia. She had chronicled her journey on social media, where she amassed around 4.2 million followers on her TikTok page and 110K followers on Instagram. However, this week on Friday, December 27, a message was shared to both accounts to announce her shock death. In a description on the page, she shared, 'We strive to educate, feed and house and protect the youth of the rural village of Mapapa' It read: 'It is with a heavy heart that we announce the sudden departure of our beloved Dora. She will be remembered as a loving mother, heroine, peace philanthropist and an extraordinary woman.' The caption of the post included, 'The program for the burial for our beloved Dora Moono Nyambe.' Nyambe's burial was originally set for Saturday, December 28 but was then moved to December 30 'due to unforeseen challenges.' In a separate post uploaded on Saturday, a message read: 'The burial of the late Dora Moono Nyambe, which was initially scheduled for an earlier date, has been moved to Monday afternoon 30 December 2024 due to some unforeseen challenges.' 'We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding during this difficult time.' 'We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has come forward to support us, whether financially or in other forms,' was also added in the caption. Nyambe's burial was originally set for Saturday, December 28 but was then moved to December 30 'due to unforeseen challenges' A cause of death has yet to be disclosed, but days before her passing, Dora revealed that she had broken her leg in a clip shared on December 15 - but is unclear if that has any relation to her death 'Your kindness and generosity have been a source of great comfort and strength for the family during this period.' A cause of death has yet to be disclosed, but just over a week before her passing, Dora revealed that she had broken her leg in a clip shared on December 15 - but is unclear if that has any relation to her death. Earlier this week on Thursday, a fellow teacher who had worked for Nyambe's nonprofit also confirmed the educator's shock passing in a video uploaded to her main TikTok page. 'I am officially announcing the loss of my beloved CEO, director, manager and founder of Footprints of Hope School, who died on Wednesday, 25th of December 2024.'

Australian rules football legend Anthony Koutoufides says he has learned from his defeat to Nick Reece for the City of Melbourne Mayor role last month, and will remain as an independent in future elections. Koutoufides, who played 278 games for Carlton and is a club great, picked up 12.91 per cent of the 87,852 votes, with victor Reece getting 23.36 per cent and winning comfortably. But Koutoufides said he learned valuable lessons from his defeat, and added he would return stronger and wiser while remaining an independent. “Life’s good. I’m not complaining. It was a good effort by everyone,” he told The Epoch Times. “Unfortunately, we didn’t win, but that’s the way it goes, isn’t it? “It would’ve been phenomenal if we had gotten over the line, but it proves we weren’t quite ready. “Everyone worked hard. And I’m the sort of guy who will work extremely hard on something and have no regrets at the end. And that included not joining the Victorian Liberal Party, which now mirrors Koutoufides’ own beliefs under new leader Brad Battin. Battin won many new supporters with his approach to the Allan Labor government’s blocking of a Bill that would have banned convicted criminals from receiving IVF (in vitro fertilisation) while serving prison time. As the Victorian Liberal spokesman for criminal justice reform and corrections, Battin called for the Bill to receive bipartisan support on Nov. 28. This was after it was revealed that convicted murderer Alicia Schiller would receive pregnancy treatment in her desire to raise a child behind bars until it turns five, while housed as an inmate at the Dame Phyllis Frost Centre. Battin lobbied hard to make sure this situation never arises again, and was unsuccessful, but he won many admirers for his stance on the issue. “We want to introduce these Bills because the community is rightfully angry when you hear that a person is getting out of the prison system and taking leave to go and get treatment,” Battin, also the former shadow minister for police and youth justice, said in state parliament on Nov. 28. Battin added his office had been inundated with concerned residents who did not support Schiller being granted IVF access, after putting forward a petition on the issue. With John Pesutto being removed from the Victorian Liberal leadership position on Dec. 27, and former tennis star Sam Groth tapped to serve as Battin’s deputy, it would appear that Koutoufides wouldn’t seem out of place serving on the frontbench. But he ruled that out at this stage. “I’m not sure what’s happening there at this stage—I just want to stay as an independent,” he said. “I haven’t really thought too hard about it (entering state politics). “I’m not disappointed (about losing to Reece). I would’ve loved to have won, but it wasn’t the case. I’m a realist too. “You can’t always win, and you’ve got to just keep battling away.” While campaigning, Koutoufides spoke about giving Victorian police in the Melbourne CBD area financial incentives as a way of supporting them in their ongoing pay and staffing dispute with the current Allan Labor government. He also said he would implement a permit system for public rallies which were having a detrimental effect on nearby small businesses. “We’ve spoken about the safety stuff and we spoke to the police association. Safety to me is the number-one priority. We’ve said there’d be safety booths around hotspots in the city, so it’ll be like a refuge if people feel a bit intimidated or scared,” he said. “The other one is increased numbers of police, so if we subsidise or give them free car parking we’ll get a lot more police into the city. Melbourne was once crowned the world’s most liveable city for seven years in a row—due to its living standards, cleanliness, and entertainment—but it has recently slumped in the Global Liveability Index. After being dethroned by Vienna in 2018, post-pandemic Melbourne dropped to 10th place on the list, before steadily moving back into the top five in 2024. A combination of rising crime, graffiti, and businesses closing due to cost-of-living pressures caused the drop in the Index. This steady decline led to former AFL star and Carlton legend Anthony Koutoufides declaring that he “had enough”. One of Koutoufides’s promises in his campaign for City of Melbourne Mayor was to get as many people active as possible, offering free weekly exercise sessions in open spaces across the city. He believed a more physically and mentally healthy electorate would lead to increased productivity in the workplace. Since his election defeat, he has maintained this attitude with his Kouta Fit business. Kouta Fit’s mission statement is to prioritise a personalised approach for each individual, recognising that everyone faces unique challenges. “Our all-inclusive program is designed to cater to individuals with varying capabilities, ensuring that each participant receives tailored support to navigate obstacles and achieve their goals,” it says on the company’s website. Koutoufides—also a public speaker—said a busy schedule might see him not devote as many hours to being a personal trainer next year. But he said he noticed many of his clients had become more mentally resilient from his fitness sessions. “It’s been for over a decade that I’ve been doing the community training,” he said. “I have so much on that I might have to pull back on it a little. “In terms of the mental health stuff it’s important, because you create communities and people turn up. “They mingle and meet new friends. It’s not just about the training part of it; it’s the other aspects which can help you in life, too.”Fats and Oils Market Trends, Leading Players, Regional Trends, Competitive Landscape, and Industry Overview by 2029 12-19-2024 10:56 PM CET | Business, Economy, Finances, Banking & Insurance Press release from: ABNewswire MarketsandMarkets� Fats & Oils Market by Type (Vegetable Oils and Fats), Source (Vegetables and Animals), Form (Liquid and Solid), Application (Food and Industrial), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, Rest of the World) - Global Forecast to 2029 The global fats and oils market [ https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/fats--oils-market-worth-323-7-billion-by-2029--exclusive-report-by-marketsandmarkets-302219849.html ] is projected to reach a valuation of USD 271.8 billion in 2024, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6%, climbing to USD 323.7 billion by 2029. This growth is fueled by transformative shifts and innovations across diverse sectors, including animal feed, oleochemicals, and biofuels, beyond their traditional culinary applications. Image: https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Images/fats-oils-market.webp In the food industry, vegetable oils and animal fats are integral to processed foods, improving texture, flavor, and shelf life. Key players like palm, rapeseed, sunflower, and soybean oils dominate global consumption due to their multifunctionality in both food and non-food products. Animal fats such as butter and lard remain vital in baking, providing rich flavor profiles. Additionally, specialty oils like coconut, shea butter, and cocoa butter are gaining traction as alternatives to conventional oils due to their unique properties. Regional preferences significantly influence cooking oil choices; for example, rapeseed, sunflower, and olive oils are popular in Europe, whereas palm oil leads in Asia and Africa. Meanwhile, the rise of plant-based diets has spurred global demand for oils like coconut. Fats and Oils Market Drivers [ https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/fats-oils-market-size-share-growth-drivers-industry-news-edward-scott-d1nwf/]: Rising Oilseed Production The expanding global demand for edible oils-essential in food and industrial applications-has driven significant growth in oilseed cultivation. According to Egypt's National Research Center, oilseed crop areas have increased by 82% over the past 30 years. This aligns with OECD projections of global vegetable oil consumption reaching 249 million metric tons by 2022, primarily driven by dietary shifts in the Asia-Pacific region. Soybean production, a major contributor, is expected to hit 41.1 million metric tons by 2030, with top producers like the U.S. and Brazil leading the charge. Innovations in agricultural biotechnology, such as genetically engineered proteins from Nanyang Technological University, have enhanced oil yields by up to 18%, supporting sustainability by meeting growing demand without expanding land use. Fats and Oils Market Opportunities [ https://www.marketsandmarketsblog.com/navigating-the-fats-and-oils-market-trends-challenges-and-opportunities.html]: Growth in Microencapsulation of Fats and Oils Microencapsulation is emerging as a key trend in the specialty fats and oils market. This process enhances the stability, shelf life, and functionality of sensitive ingredients like omega-3 fatty acids, milk fat, and vegetable oils by protecting them from temperature, moisture, and oxidation. These advancements make encapsulated fats and oils ideal for functional foods, nutritional supplements, and pharmaceuticals. Major players are increasingly adopting encapsulation technologies, leveraging matrices like whey proteins and casein blends to produce fat-rich powders for diverse applications. This trend aligns with rising consumer demand for health-focused products and offers significant growth potential in the market. Dominance of Vegetable-Based Fats and Oils Vegetable-based fats and oils are poised to maintain their leading market share due to their versatility, health benefits, and broad availability. Oils like soybean, palm, and sunflower are widely preferred for their culinary and industrial uses, offering essential fatty acids and being perceived as healthier than animal fats. Advances in agricultural practices and biotechnology have ensured a steady supply of vegetable oils at lower costs, further solidifying their market dominance. Download PDF Brochure: https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/pdfdownloadNew.asp?id=6198812 Food Applications: Leading the Market The food sector represents the largest application segment for fats and oils, driven by their essential role in flavor enhancement, texture improvement, and preservation. Fats and oils contribute to desirable properties such as crispiness and richness in cooking and baking while serving as carriers for fat-soluble vitamins and flavors. Growing demand for processed and convenience foods, coupled with increasing consumer interest in diverse culinary experiences, reinforces the prominence of food applications in the fats and oils market. Asia-Pacific Dominates the Fats and Oils Market Share [ https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/PressReleases/fats-oils.asp ]. The Asia-Pacific region holds the largest market share in the fats and oils industry, driven by rapid urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and shifting dietary preferences toward processed and convenience foods. The region's growing population and expanding middle class have significantly increased the demand for edible oils used in cooking and food processing. Additionally, the surge in fast food consumption and the development of the food service industry contribute to the market's growth. Strong economic progress and enhanced distribution networks further solidify Asia-Pacific's leading position in the global fats and oils market, boasting the highest CAGR.

A fresh plea has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking a probe into the indictment of billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani who has been indicted in the U.S. for alleged bribery and fraud, saying the move "unveiled malpractices carried out by the conglomerate". The plea has been filed by advocate Vishal Tiwari as an interlocutory application in the batch of pleas in the Adani-Hindenburg row over allegations of stock price manipulation by the Indian corporate giant. Related Stories All-party meet: Govt appeals to all parties to ensure smooth functioning of Parliament; Congress demands discussion on Adani U.S. SEC summons Gautam Adani, nephew Sagar in bribery case None of Adani portfolio firms subject to any legal case: Group CFO The U.S. Department of Justice has accused Mr. Adani of being part of an elaborate scheme to pay $265 million (about ₹2,200 crore) bribe to Indian officials in exchange for favourable terms for solar power contracts in four Indian States. The Adani Group has denied the charge, saying the allegations levelled by the U.S. prosecutors are baseless and that the conglomerate is compliant with all laws. It has also vowed to pursue all possible legal recourse. In his plea before the Supreme Court, Mr. Tiwari contended that the allegations against Mr. Adani are of "serious nature" and should be investigated by Indian authorities. "The SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) has to inspire confidence by concluding the investigations and placing on record the report and conclusion of the probes. As there were allegations of short selling in the SEBI investigation and the present allegations levelled by the foreign authorities might have connection or may not have, but SEBI's investigation report should clear this so that the investors may not loose confidence," the plea said.

There is no right of privacy in the U.S. Constitution, at least there wasn’t until 1965, when the Supreme Court famously found one in “penumbras, formed by emanations” from the Bill of Rights. It wasn’t a unanimous decision. “With all deference, I can find no such general right of privacy in the Bill of Rights, in any other part of the Constitution, or in any case ever before decided by this Court,” wrote one of the dissenting justices. However, there is an explicit right to be free from uncontrolled government searches. It’s the Fourth Amendment: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” On Dec. 6, a report on financial surveillance in the United States was released by the House Judiciary Committee and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. It reveals that the U.S. government has turned the 1970 Bank Secrecy Act, a law intended to stop money laundering, tax evasion and criminal activity, into a tool to break through the Fourth Amendment and search the lawful, private financial transactions of innocent Americans. According to the testimony of an FBI analyst, the Bureau considers financial institutions to be “partners.” It employed liaisons to reach out and “engage” them. That sounds a lot like the government’s “engagement” with social media platforms, its “partners” in the silencing of Americans who “spread misinformation” as the government defined or declared it. In both cases, the government coaxed or coerced its “partners” into doing what would be flatly illegal for the government to do itself. “All the operational divisions, they all have an element that has an engagement responsibility with the private sector and partnerships in general,” explained FBI “Financial Targeting” analyst Peter Sullivan in a transcribed interview, “It’s one of Director Wray’s pillars, his partnerships.” That would be FBI Director Christopher Wray, who just resigned. Here’s how the “partnership” worked with Bank of America a week after the events at the U.S Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Sullivan told bank contacts in a “brainstorming” email that they might want to file a Suspicious Activity Report listing all of the bank’s customers who had used a credit or debit card in the Washington, D.C. area on Jan. 5 or 6, had made a weapons purchase of any kind in the last six month, and had a travel reservation to come to Washington on Jan. 19 or 20, when the inauguration would be held. Without a warrant or any legal process, Bank of America sent the government a Suspicious Activity Report naming 211 customers who met those three conditions. Sullivan, whose title at the time was finance sector liaison and who testified that his role was limited to “terrorism,” took that list of 211 bank customers and identified four individuals who had made a “weapons-related transaction” after Jan. 6. Sullivan testified, “I remember going to my supervisor and saying, we should push out these four, do baseline queries of these four, which are basic criminal background queries, and push out via assessment — it’s called a Guardian. A Guardian is a no-stone-unturned assessment. It’s not an investigation. But we pushed those four Guardians out to three field offices, respectively.” The three field offices were Memphis, San Francisco and Tampa. Then the four “Guardians” were uploaded for the Washington Field Office, which “had a number of leads that were sent.” If you can’t already see it, let’s carefully go over what’s wrong with this. THEY CAN’T DO THAT TO AMERICANS. The government can’t “suggest” to federally regulated companies that they turn over lists of perfectly lawful customer transactions, then use the lists to imagine criminal plots, then send agents to knock on doors around the country to assess who might be a “domestic terrorist.” We have gone off the constitutional rails. “The FBI has manipulated the Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) filing process to treat financial institutions as de facto arms of law enforcement, issuing ‘requests,’ without legal process, that amount to demands for information related to certain persons or activities it considers ‘suspicious,’” the House committee reported. The 1970 Bank Secrecy Act requires financial institutions to file a Suspicious Activity Report whenever the financial institution itself identifies “a suspicious transaction relevant to a possible violation of law or regulation.” Banks must also file a Currency Transaction Report with the federal government whenever any person conducts a transaction or multiple transactions totaling $10,000 in a single day. Currency Transaction Reports have “proliferated exponentially” as well. According to the House report, “If a consumer purchased a car, furniture, jewelry, art, or made a tuition payment totaling more than $10,000, a CTR was likely filed containing the consumer’s information despite there being no evidence of any suspicious activity.” Who can see these reports? Tens of thousands of government employees in “472 federal, state and local law enforcement, regulatory and national security agencies.” In 2023 alone, the reports were searched 3,362,735 times. Without a warrant. The Judiciary Committee and Select Subcommittee also discovered that the federal government is “testing out new methods and new technology to continue the financial surveillance of Americans.” The Fourth Amendment should be enough to stop this.

LAHAINA, Hawaii — The Colorado men’s basketball time finally found its mettle in Maui. And they were rewarded with a monumental victory. Bouncing back from the trouncing CU received in its opening game of the Maui Invitational, the Buffs pulled off a stunner on Tuesday, topping No. 2, two-time defending national champion 73-72 at the Lahaina Civic Center. Andrej Jakimovski converted the winning points on a driving bucket with 5.9 seconds remaining, the Buffs recorded one final stop to pull off the upset. The victory tied the second-highest ranked win in CU’s program history. UConn led 40-32 at halftime, but early in the second half the Buffs reeled off 11 consecutive points to take their first lead at 48-46. The Huskies led 72-j69 after a putback basket by Jaylin Stewart with 1 minute, 29 seconds remaining. Elijah Malone converted the last of his 16 points to get CU within 72-71, and after a huge defensive play by Javon Ruffin got the ball back for the Buffs, Jakimovski was able to score the game-winner. CU (5-1) went 9-for-16 on 3-pointers and outrebounded UConn 28-26, one day after Michigan State outrebounded the Buffs by 13. Senior guard Julian Hammond III went 4-for-5 on 3-pointers and shared the team lead with 16 points, while Jakimovski recorded his first double-double with CU, finishing with 12 points and a game-high 10 rebounds. The Buffs will play Tuesday’s winner between No. 5 Iowa State and Dayton in the Maui finale on Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. MT. This story will be updatedStrictly Come Dancing professional Kai Widdrington has bagged a prestigious Guinness World Records certificate following an intense showdown in the annual Pro Challenge. Over the past fortnight, the Strictly pros have been competing to secure the world record for the most Cha Cha Cha Time Steps executed in half a minute. During tonight's (December 5) episode of It Takes Two, Kai was accompanied by fellow dancer Neil Jones as the final professionals to participate in the challenge. The pair went toe-to-toe for the title, with BBC viewers watching them perform the ballroom move that necessitates a side step on straight legs, a weight transfer from one foot to the other, settling on each heel followed by a chasse. The dancers then repeat this sequence in the opposite direction, ensuring their footwork remains ball flat throughout and the movement is completed on both sides. Initially, it seemed like a draw as both dancers completed 15 steps, but one of Neil's moves was disqualified, resulting in Kai clinching the record-breaking win and receiving the official certificate. The challenge was presided over by Craig Revel Horwood, with Guinness World Records official, Will Munford, supervising the attempts, reports the Express . The Strictly Come Dancing community was alight with reactions on social media as fans eagerly shared their thoughts: One fan posted: "SO happy Kai won the pro challenge!" while another commented: " Kai and Neil were so close. With 15 steps the winner of the Pro Challenge is Kai! Only one step was between him and Neil and Nadiya." Also, someone else chimed in with: "Well done Kai." Last year witnessed pro dancer Lauren Oakley smashing the Guinness World Record for executing the most pendulum dance moves in a mere 30 seconds, notching up an impressive 15 flawless steps. In the present Strictly season, Lauren Oakley is dazzling audiences alongside JLS heartthrob JB Gill. Originally not part of the pair, Lauren stepped into Amy Dowden's dancing shoes following Amy's sudden health scare which saw her collapse during the series. The BBC has reassured fans that Amy is now in good spirits but will not rejoin the current season. Despite her exit, Amy continues to root for her previous partner from the sidelines. Amy previously expressed her continued support on Instagram, sharing her heartfelt wishes for success and vowing to be their "biggest cheerleader". She also conveyed a special message to JB: "It says everything how you've been able to adapt to a new professional, produce such a great number (so excited for everyone to see) whilst supporting me! I'm so lucky! You're a STAR! I know what tonight means to you! Thank you!"

BLOOMINGTON — Nearly half an hour into the first game of their existence, the Bloomington Bison found themselves trailing 2-0. After five years without professional hockey in the Twin Cities, as the new ECHL team kicked off its inaugural run with a lone preseason game, questions hung in the air. What does hockey mean to Bloomington-Normal? And what does Bloomington-Normal mean for hockey? The Bison's ownership group, Hallett Sports & Entertainment, also owns the Indy Fuel, a well-established ECHL franchise with a decade under its belt in the Indianapolis area to solidify its fanbase and space in the community. Bloomington Bison forward Chongmin Lee (77) looks at a video replay during a break in play against the Toledo Walleye on Saturday, Dec. 14, 2024, at Grossinger Motors Arena. Bloomington, on the other hand, has had four different hockey organizations at Grossinger Motors Arena since it opened in 2006. The USHL Central Illinois Flying Aces were the most recent, but they were not at the highest level of play hosted by the venue. That distinction belonged to the defunct Bloomington Thunder of the SPHL, a professional ice hockey independent minor league a step below the ECHL with no NHL affiliate organizations. While a preseason game generally means little to the overall outlook of an organization, uncertainty gnawed at the hockey fans who remembered welcoming other teams — and bidding them farewell. Some wondered whether the Bison, offering the highest level of professional sport seen in the Twin Cities, would succeed. Could they? Suddenly, lightning flashed. Someone wearing a white Bison sweater with the number 77 on his back flew up the wing into the offensive zone — a two-on-one break — snapped a wrist shot and breathed life into the fanbase with the team's first-ever goal. Chongmin Lee, a 25-year-old forward from South Korea, skated to center ice, hugged his teammates and absorbed the joyful noise of the crowd. The moment's significance was not lost on him. "I want people to know that everything we do achieve, it's going to be the history of the Bloomington Bison," he said in a recent interview. Less than three months after that first game, Lee's contributions have continued to drive the team's early successes. Heading into Saturday night's home game against the Kalamazoo Wings, he and captain Eddie Matsushima tied for the highest-scoring players with 19 points each. Lee also led the team in assists with 15 and was among a handful of Bison who had played in all 26 games. Nearing the midpoint of the season, Lee spoke with a Pantagraph reporter inside the locker room at Grossinger Motors Arena after a recent practice. Bloomington Bison forward Chongmin Lee (77) tries to regain control of the puck from Toledo Walleye's Mitchell Lewandowski (67) in the first period on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2024, at Grossinger Motors Arena. He was barefoot, wearing shorts and a T-shirt. A large bag of ice, taped around his right thigh, slowly melted onto the floor as Lee talked about growing up with hockey, moving across oceans to pursue his passion and working toward his hopes for the Bison and their host city. "It's really special, for sure ... Everything we do, everything we accomplish, it's just history," he said. "So, yeah, I really appreciate it. And I want to make this year special for myself and for the team." Building a team In January, the ECHL — a professional developmental hockey league equivalent to AA in minor league baseball — accepted Hallett Sports & Entertainment's application for an expansion team in Bloomington. That team would become the 29th in the ECHL, which serves as a proving ground for some players on their way to the higher American Hockey League and National Hockey League. Later in May, the New York Rangers were announced as the Bison's primary NHL affiliate, and Phillip Barski was named head coach and general manager for the 2024-2025 season. (The Carolina Hurricanes also later announced a working agreement with the Bison.) Bloomington Bison forward Chongmin Lee (77) speaks with captain Eddie Matsushima (15) after the team scored a goal against the Iowa Heartlanders on Wednesday, Nov. 27, 2024, at Grossinger Motors Arena. Filling the roster was the first item on Barski's to-do list. "It's a very big undertaking, you know," he said. In other professional sports leagues, the addition of one or more new teams coincides with an expansion draft. Existing teams will select a number of players to "protect" from the draft, and the new teams can build a roster from the "unprotected" players. Most recently, the NHL held an expansion draft in 2021 when the Seattle Kraken were formed. The ECHL is a different story, though. "There's no expansion draft here," Barski said. Building a team meant marketing Bloomington-Normal to prospective players, many of whom had never been to Central Illinois. "It was very challenging to recruit this team because nobody knew anything about Bloomington," Barksi said. "They didn't know where Bloomington, Illinois, was." At the start of 2024 , Lee was playing for HL Anyang in the Asia League in South Korea. A friend from their national team had an advantageous connection, Lee said. "My buddy from (our) national team, he had an awesome agent. I asked him, 'Can I talk to him?' ... I said I'm interested in going to the ECHL. And he said he will work on it," Lee said. Bloomington Bison forward Chongmin Lee (77) stands next to forward Eddie Matsushima (15) during a hockey game Saturday, Nov. 23, 2024, at Grossinger Motors Arena. "I really like playing with him," Lee said of Matsushima, the team captain. When Barski received "some random email from an agent that I didn't know about who had (Lee) on a list," he was intrigued. "It didn't take very long for us. We watched a couple of shifts (with Lee), and I was like, 'Oh my God,' you know," the coach recalled. "His athleticism jumps out at you. His speed jumps out at you. His physicality jumps out at you. The shot. "I mean, it was a pretty quick process on our end to be like, 'Oh my god.' Like, 'We want this guy in our locker room. We want him to be a part of the organization.' ... We jumped on it pretty fast," Barski said. The attraction was mutual, Lee said. Soon, he was headed for Bloomington, over 6,500 miles from the home in Seoul, South Korea, where his love of the sport began. Chasing dreams Lee's passion for hockey took root at a young age. "There (were) not many hockey rinks back home when I was really young," he said. Still, both of his older brothers found a way to play the sport. At one of their practices, when Lee was just 5 years old, his dad asked if he would like to play, too. A young Chongmin Lee and a teammate in South Korea are shown in this provided photo. "I said yeah," Lee recalled. "And then we got all the random hockey gear (that was) left, I put it on, and I went on the ice. That was my first (hockey) memory." Lee found success on the ice in South Korea, but "I always thought about going overseas (to) play hockey." At just 15 years old, he got that chance when an agent connected him with the Vancouver North East Chiefs of the British Columbia Elite Hockey League. Lee's brothers encouraged him to seize the moment. Such an opportunity "doesn't come as often, so I should take it," Lee said, recalling their advice. "So I did." Lee packed everything up, traveled across the Pacific Ocean and settled into western Canada, where he finished school while playing hockey — and learning a new language. "It was a challenge for me," Lee said. "I wasn't able to speak any English back then." Despite the communication barrier and distance from his family, Lee thrived on the ice and built a community with his teammates, he said. "I don't have family here (in North America)," Lee said. "So I wanted someone ... people like my teammates to be my family." Those same teammates drove Lee to continue playing and pursuing his dreams, he said. Seeing his friends advance and playing at higher levels of hockey — from junior hockey to the college level and beyond — pushed him forward. "After college, they wanted (to) go pro, so I wanted (to) go pro," he said. "So, yeah, that kind of ... (kept) motivating me." After playing for the Chiefs, Lee joined the BCHL , a junior hockey league in British Columbia, Canada. From 2017 to 2020, he played for the Spruce Kings in Prince George, some 320 miles north of Vancouver. A young Chongmin Lee playing for Prince George's Spruce Kings in Canada. His journey would hit a major snag in 2020, when he had been slated to play for the University of Alaska-Anchorage. The COVID-19 pandemic and budgetary issues led to the university to cancel the season and ultimately end the program. "I didn't have a team for a year," Lee recalled. "That was a really hard time for me." In 2021, he crossed another ocean — this time, to Sweden — to keep his hockey dreams alive. During his two years in the land of the Vikings, Lee played for Nässjä HC and Tranås AIF, two semi-professional organizations. About 140 miles southwest of Stockholm, the Swedish municipality of Tranås has a population of roughly 15,000. Such a stark contrast with Lee's previous homes — the Vancouver metro area has 2.6 million residents, Seoul over 9 million — made it harder to connect with people, he said. "Obviously, they speak really well in English, but they still speak (more often) in Swedish," he said. "And I was in a really small town." Though Bloomington-Normal is no Seoul, Lee said it has proven more similar to the "second home" he experienced while playing in Canada. "It feels comfortable," he said. 'Ready to go, all the time' The Bison list Lee at 5 feet, 11 inches tall and 185 pounds — not the biggest person on the ice . While he also isn't the smallest, outranking several of his teammates in height and weight, Lee acknowledged that his size can be a disadvantage. "I'm not a big guy. And when I (went) to Canada the first time, I was really young, and my body wasn't ready," he said. "My body wasn't built to play against like, 6-1, 200-pound guys." The average height in the ECHL , according to data on eliteprospects.com , is 6 feet, 1 inch, and players' average weight clocks in at just over 191 pounds. Compare that with the NHL average of 6 feet, 2 inches and 201 pounds , and it becomes clear that Lee is punching up, as it were. He had to adjust how he played after leaving South Korea, he said: "Use my speed, make a quick play, not hang on to (the puck) too long. Yeah, speed, obviously is (the skill) that I need to focus on." Bloomington Bison forward Chongmin Lee (77) stands in front of Kalamazoo Wings goaltender Ty Young (33) during the second period of a game on Saturday, Dec. 28, 2024, at Grossinger Motors Arena. Lee is meticulous about his diet and conditioning, Barski said, working just as hard off the ice as he does on it. "He really takes care of his body. I mean, when you see him, he's like a physical specimen," Barski said. "You know, he's not the tallest, necessarily, but he's built really well. And he takes a lot of pride in that ... he's a consummate professional." The way Lee attacks the offensive zone with his quickness has two primary effects, Barski said: 1) puts the defense on their heels and 2) speeds up his teammates. Barski "We talk a lot about ... slowing the team down and speeding our team up. Those, to me, are like a two-pronged approach," Barski said. "So his ability to speed the game up slows down the other team and puts them in some really tricky situations." Matsushima, listed as the same size as Lee, brings a similar style of play. "I think I learned a lot from him, actually," Lee said of Matsushima, whose ECHL experience includes three seasons with the Tulsa Oilers. "I see him, how he uses his speed, and I added that to my game. And then I started seeing (the game better). I start playing more comfortable and confident." Matsushima said the two have had a connection from the start, largely due to their shared speed and approach to the game. "We're both just just very similar players in the sense that we're just ready to go all the time," he said Saturday night. "We just kind of have the understanding that when one of us says to go, there's no second thought. We both just go." That speed, combined with seeing the game slowed down, is what led to Lee's fateful first goal. "Coach always says, 'See play, make play.' If you don't see it, don't force it," Lee said. Driving through the offensive zone that day, Lee was joined by fellow forward Gavin Gould, No. 91. "I saw Gouldie on the other side (of the ice). I couldn't make that pass," Lee said. Instead of forcing a tough pass, "I just, like, shot it. I shot the five hole (between the goalie's legs), and it went in." Lee hopes whatever success he finds, coupled with his discipline and consistent practice, will help to inspire his teammates, as well. "I think, when guys are looking at me, 'If that guy can do it, everyone else can do it (too),'" he said. Locking into a steady work ethic, day in and day out, can be tough, Barski said. "Things in pro hockey can get very monotonous," he said. "You show up at the same time. You do the drills ... So it kind of becomes this malaise." Professional athletes, by their nature, are highly motivated. But that doesn't necessarily make coaching and practicing at a high level easy, Barski said. "The trickier part, potentially, is — how do you make it fun?" he said. Such an approach involves looking at the hockey player as a whole, not simply who he is on the ice or in the locker room. "We'll do that in a multitude of ways," Barski said, "whether we're doing, like, a team bonding activity here where we're doing something a little different, out of the ordinary, or, you know, just having individual meetings, checking in with the guys." Bloomington Bison forward Chongmin Lee (77) watches the play during a game against the Kalamazoo Wings on Saturday, Dec. 28, 2024, at Grossinger Motors Arena. The goal is a culture that encourages players to be excited about practice and open to coaching. "Obviously, we're a new team with a new organization, we will take a little bit of time" to develop the team's character and culture in the locker room, Lee said. Some of the Bison players are in their first ECHL season. "We have lots of rookie guys and guys who are coming from junior hockey. So we need, we definitely need a little more time ... for that culture," Lee said. "But it's coming. It's coming, and we're getting better and better every day." Moving forward While some ECHL players could be a few years or even months away from making it in the NHL, many still have a lot to learn. "If they knew everything, they wouldn't need us. We'd be out of a job," Barski said with a chuckle. One area in which Lee has shown improvement is on-ice communication, he said. "He's quiet," Barski said. "And that might be a culture thing. We're actually trying to pull that out of him, especially on the ice." Not that being quiet and reserved is a bad thing, the coach added. "You know, at the end of the day, we don't want anyone to be anything that they're not. If you're quiet, be quiet," Barski said. "But on the ice, it is a little bit of a detriment to be quiet because one of the ways to, obviously, help a teammate is by communication." After a few months with the Bison, Lee has started opening up and talking more during drills, practices and games. Bloomington Bison forwards Chongmin Lee (77) and Eddie Matsushima (15) return to the ice after a break in play during a game against the Toledo Walleye on Saturday, Dec. 14, 2024, at Grossinger Motors Arena. "We feel comfortable that he feels comfortable that we can start trying to ... add that to his toolbox, so to speak," he said. Part of the newfound comfort might come from Lee's off-the-ice activities. "I do hang out with our teammates when we don't have games," he said. "And I went to Chicago one time. It was fun." One thing he'd like to do, when he has a chance, is catch a Chicago Blackhawks game live to see star center Connor Bedard . Drafted No. 1 overall by Chicago in 2023, Bedard hails from North Vancouver, British Columbia — next to Lee's old stomping grounds in Canada. And who knows — Lee could find himself sharing ice with Bedard one day. After all, at least five of his teammates have been called up to the Bison's American Hockey League affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack, at various times this season. Playing for the team in Connecticut would put Lee one step away from the NHL. Until then, you can catch him on the ice at Grossinger Motors Arena, his number 77 a blur as he races up and down the ice. WHAT: Bloomington Bison vs. Kalamazoo Wings WHEN: 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 29 WHERE: Grossinger Motors Arena, 101 S. Madison St., Bloomington THEME: Sunday Family Fun Day. Kids get a voucher for a free hot dog, chip, cookie and soda. There will also be a postgame skate with Bison players. TICKETS: $20-$71, available at bloomingtonbisonhockey.com or Ticketmaster, or call the Bison ticket office at 309-965-4373, ext. 2. Lifelong hockey enthusiast Adam Morris follows the growth of the Bloomington Bison in their first season. The ECHL holiday break is over. As the Bison face the Kalamazoo Wings in a weekend set that includes two home games, here's a look at what to expect. Are there parallels between the Bloomington Bison and their primary NHL affiliate? Columnist Adam Morris checks out the New York Rangers in person. The Bison are in their third month of existence, but their presence in Bloomington-Normal has already started to take root. After their five-game run against the Iowa Heartlanders ended with two consecutive losses, the Bloomington Bison can look forward to a change of scenery — and opponent. As we bask in the glow of holiday decorating and Thanksgiving leftovers, columnist Adam Morris takes stock of his gratitude as a Central Illinois hockey fan. When the Bison and Iowa Heartlanders play, penalties will be a factor. There have been 171 penalty minutes handed out, including 13 roughing calls and nine major penalties. Power plays, leadership and stamina: Three takeaways from the Bloomington Bison's first winning weekend at Grossinger Motors Arena. As the Bloomington Bison lose their top goaltender to a higher league, a grueling schedule in the coming weeks could become the team's proving ground. The Bloomington Bison's owners believe fans will be impressed with the higher level of play at Grossinger Motors Arena — but that only works if they're there to see it. Are you struggling to keep up with the Bison's ever-changing roster? You're not alone. Here's why the new Bloomington hockey team is uniquely positioned in its league — and how it could be an advantage. "Was it a little disappointing that the Bison did not come out of last weekend with a win? Of course. ... What I did see, though, felt just as encouraging." It's always exciting to see the start of something new. That's what fans are getting with the Bloomington Bison — on the ice and behind the glass. When the Bloomington Bison drop the puck in their preseason matchup Saturday, it will represent potentially best chance for sustained professional hockey in the Twin Cities. Contact D.

Hronsky shot 5 for 9, including 3 for 6 from beyond the arc for the Dukes (1-6). Maximus Edwards scored 11 points while going 5 of 9 (1 for 3 from 3-point range) and added seven rebounds. Halil Barre had 10 points and finished 5 of 7 from the floor. The Dukes stopped a six-game slide with the win. Devin Ceaser led the way for the Monarchs (2-6) with 23 points and three steals. Duquesne took a 26-19 lead at halftime, with Edwards racking up seven points. Duquesne extended its lead to 36-23 during the second half, fueled by an 8-0 scoring run.

An ecstatic general manager Renee Wilson said the funds would help retain the services of their bilingual support worker and keep two 12-seater buses on the road to transport participants to the programs so vital to maintaining community connection. During her pitch to Give500 donors, Ms Wilson said the bureau's programs had already helped more than 4000 multicultural community members. From Coffee and Card catch-ups to Conversations in English and Homework Help, the cultural exchange program offers an array of activities designed to break down the barriers to inclusion for people from cultural and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds. She asked those gathered to reflect on a time when they might have stood in a room full of people and yet "never felt so alone ... nodding and smiling but not understanding what anyone is saying". "That's what the majority of newly arrived migrants face on a daily basis," Ms Wilson said. "They know nothing about our processes and systems, they've often escaped from war-torn countries and places of violence ..." The barriers caused by a lack of access to transport and limited or no English can prove detrimental to both physical and mental health, Ms Wilson explained. "The cultural exchange program was born in 2016 from a huge need and a gap we saw in the community to support CALD community members that found themselves socially isolated," she said. "One of the biggest barriers our participants face is transportation, because most do not have their licence or a vehicle to get to and from the programs. "So with wonderful volunteers, we are able to pick them up from their homes, bring them to and take them home afterwards. "If we didn't have the two 12-seater mini buses, unfortunately we wouldn't have people who are able to attend." will each receive $4000 as runners-up in this year's Give500 campaign.

Rajasthan United beat Namdhari 3-1 with comeback win; Dempo overcome Lajong

Big 10: Spotlighting acts of kindnessAnother successful season is in the books for Arcane, and fans are already wondering whether the show will have a third season. Riot Games' lore-filled League of Legends show has been a top performer on Netflix since its 2021 release, and each season continues to add to the thrill. Arcane season two was released in November 2024, and each act of the show had viewers on the edge of their seats. Not only did the show achieve great marketing for League of Legends, but it also allowed fans an insider's look into the game's lore. Prior to the show, getting into LoL's lore required fans to do their fair share of reading. However, Arcane does an excellent job of portraying the best parts of League's storyline. Is there going to be an Arcane Season 3? No, there won't be a season three for Arcane. While fans could be craving for me, Riot Games co-founder Marc Merrill confirmed that Arcane was always intended to be a two-season series. Riot's love for high-quality storytelling is the main reason behind this decision. Initially, there was also confusion about whether Arcane could have five seasons. Merrill clarified that this was purely an internal discussion about financial planning, and it didn't reflect the creative vision for the show. Merrill also talked about Riot's intent to explore other stories and universes within the League of Legends world in a Reddit post . He also addressed misunderstandings about the costs associated with the series, as Arcane's cost per minute was significantly lower than that of major studios like Pixar or Illumination. Based on the series' ending and statements from Riot, Arcane being over opens the door for Riot to tell new stories across other corners of the League of Legends world. The fact that Arcane ended just after two seasons could be disappointing, but the series' timeline and the end results show Riot's attention to detail. There were three years between Arcane's first and second seasons, which wouldn't have been the case at all if Riot had rushed the process. This is the main reason why Arcane had a groundbreaking success. If Riot keeps its promise and decides to explore other storytelling opportunities within the LoL universe, fans can look forward to more high-quality narratives. However, they may need to brace themselves for potentially long wait times that have a decent track record of being worth it. Arcane, as a series, also paved the way for content updates for other Riot titles, like Teamfight Tactics' Into the Arcane , so fingers will be crossed for future crossovers if more shows join Riot's portfolio.

Former attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz is now selling $500 videos on Cameo . The disgraced politician’s new business venture comes a day after he withdrew his candidacy to become the Trump Administration’s chief law enforcement official. His withdrawal followed congressional and law enforcement investigations that reportedly concluded he paid for sex with a minor on more than one occasion . “I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history,” Gaetz said in a statement ending his candidacy . The 42-year-old right-wing firebrand also said Friday that he wouldn’t try to return to Congress where he’d served as a representative from Florida from 2017 until just last week. That will seemingly leave Gaetz more time to record personalized videos for supporters looking for advice, pep talks or birthday wishes, according to his newly created Cameo page. “Don’t be afraid to get creative with your request, especially for celebrations like weddings, retirements, or bachelor and bachelorette parties that call for a good laugh,” his listing says. Gaetz is following in the footsteps of fellow Republican politicians George Santos and Rudy Giuliani in joining Cameo to cash in on newfound infamy. Santos was expelled from Congress last December when it was learned he lied about almost every aspect of his life to get elected to New York’s 3rd Congressional District. He pleaded guilty to wire fraud and identity theft charges in August, and is scheduled to be sentenced in February. Santos’ videos , which average 44 seconds in length, start at $250. Giuliani — New York City’s former two-term mayor — was indicted on election crimes in May. That case hasn’t gone to trial, though a civil court ordered him to pay $148 million to two election workers he defamed after the 2020 presidential election. He charged $375 per video after joining Cameo in August 2021. Gaetz has not been charged with any crimes and maintains he did nothing wrong.

Sempra Named Among Newsweek's 'Most Responsible Companies'The Cync Reveal HD+ Undercabinet lights by GE Lighting are available in 3-inch pucks at $85 for a 3-pack and 12-, 18-, and 24-inch bars starting at $60. They're easy to install, with plug-in and hardwired installation options, and work reliably with third-party voice integrations. While I didn't have issues with the puck lights, the light bar often disconnects from Wi-Fi, staying on all night instead of following the preset schedule. Because hate is a strong word, I tend to say that I severely dislike my kitchen. It's dingy and dark, so I always look for ways to brighten it up. After DIYing a new backsplash and changing all of my recessed lighting, which wasn't enough, I added some undercabinet lights – but not just any lights. I went with the Cync GE Reveal HD+ undercabinet lights and can confidently say I'll never try string lights for this again. Also: This smart floor lamp is one of my favorite smart home accessories and it's 20% off GE Lighting, a Savant Company, launched these Cync undercabinet lights about a year ago, and I've had them in my kitchen for a few months. They're easy to install and perform exactly as advertised, giving my kitchen some much-needed illumination. I have mine running on a schedule each morning and each night, when we're making breakfast and getting the kids ready for school and then while prepping dinner. They work with Alexa and Google for seamless voice control, so I can always ask one of these assistants to turn them on whenever I need extra light. Cync Reveal HD+ Undercabinet lights by GE Lighting The Cync Reveal HD+ Undercabinet lights by GE Lighting are a fantastic way to upgrade your kitchen for more visual appeal and the convenience of extra cooking light. With millions of color possibilities, these lights also provide ambiance for parties or according to your mood. Installation was easier than I expected. The lights are available as pucks or light bars, with millions of color possibilities and plug-in or hardwired installation options. Since I didn't have existing undercabinet lights, I plugged them in. The pucks include a reference template to drill small holes where you need them. You use the 3M backing to position each one; then, you can use the included screws to secure them. The light bar requires only the captive screws to install, so all you do is screw it in and set it up on the Cync app. You can link additional fixtures to the pucks and light bar totaling up to 500 watts, which is convenient considering that the 12-inch bar is 13 watts and each 3-inch puck is 5 watts. You can control each light individually or as a group, no matter how many you have. I set up one puck on a small cabinet by the stove, five pucks linked together above my kitchen prepping area, and one 24-inch light bar above the coffee area. I mostly control the lights as a group to turn the whole kitchen on or off, though I sometimes ask Alexa to turn on a specific one. So, I named each light after what is inside the cabinet above it. Also: I tested Roomba's most functional robot vacuum yet, and it's worth every penny Since installing these lights, I've enjoyed being in the kitchen more. The space feels brighter and fresher when the lights are on, and the extra light is helpful while cooking. The lights simply make my kitchen look good. I've set them up on a schedule to come on for two hours each morning and then again for two hours in the evening. The only issue I've encountered is that the light bar sometimes disconnects from my home Wi-Fi, so I have to turn it off manually on the app (which uses Bluetooth to connect) or ask Alexa to do it when the light reconnects. Otherwise, the light bar sometimes misses its signal to turn itself off and stays on overnight, which we only notice when we return downstairs for the morning rush. This could be a problem with this individual light bar, however, since it's not a common complaint from buyers. Also: This magical light projector is the smart home accessory I didn't know I needed The light bar features end-to-end lights, which produce a bright output of up to 750 lumens in a small space with no dark areas. Each puck emits up to 300 lumens, which is plenty bright for under-cabinet lights. With Reveal, a trademarked technology by GE Lighting, the lights filter out dull yellow tons to provide whiter whites and more vibrant colors for clarity and true-to-life colors. You can turn this setting on or off on the Cync app. ZDNET's buying advice The 24-inch Cync Reveal HD+ undercabinet light bar above my coffeemaker. Many people opt for string lights as undercabinet lights, which I've tried before. But testing the Cync Reveal HD+ undercabinet lights by GE Lighting has convinced me never to use a string light in their place. These lights offer the consistency and visual appeal you don't get from string lights. The latter often fall, become detached from their clips, or have lower brightness than the Cync undercabinet lights. Even when reflected off of my shiny granite countertops, the circular lights look much better than a string of LEDs, giving my kitchen a more polished look. Also: This smart light strip is cheaper than Philips Hue but just as magical The fact that the pucks look so good and work so seamlessly with the app and third-party integrations makes them easy to recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen or improve lighting. Why I pick this ultraportable Lenovo tablet over the iPad Air for multimedia consumption I tested the new Kindle Scribe for two weeks, and it beat my ReMarkable in several ways One of the best QLED TVs I've tested isn't made by Samsung or Hisense These Beyerdynamic earbuds delivered glorious sound for any kind of music I played

Kevin Stefanski on loss to Dolphins, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, injuries, and more: TranscriptNoneIt’s a new year, and to help celebrate the month of January 2025, we have a bunch of stellar games, including a remaster of a beloved Vita game and the next entry of a popular action franchise. You’ll also blow heads off in excessive detail as you fire your powerful weaponry in Sniper Elite: Resistance. Dynasty Warriors Origins (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC) Publisher: Koei Tecmo Developer: Koei Tecmo Price: $69.99 Release Date: January 17 Trailer The Dynasty Warriors series looks as epic as ever in this next entry. As a nameless hero protagonist, you’re stepping into the field of hundreds of warriors. You’ll be utilizing fast-paced combos and abilities called arts to take down these foes. There’s also a strategic element to the visual madness on screen as you command your allies to advance or cavalry charge to victory (or failure). You’ll also have to manage the morale of your forces, which should be quite the challenge. Hopefully, you’ll still be able to enjoy the breakneck action despite the strategic elements of this new entry. “Omega Force and Koei Tecmo have taken a lot of the staples from the franchise like massive-scale battles and expanded them while also improving the overall game through better storytelling, more interesting combat, and a player character-driven focus,” said our preview . It will be launched on consoles and PC systems on January 17 . Those who purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition can start on January 14. Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox Series X|S, PC) Publisher: Binary Haze Interactive Developer: Adglobe, Live Wire Price: $19.99 Release Date: January 22 Trailer An indie highlight from the January 2025 games lineup is Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist . It’s a sequel to the critically acclaimed Metroidvania Ender Lilies : Quietus of the Knights. The sequel was previously launched through Steam Early Access and has an impressive Overwhelmingly Positive 97% rating on Steam . In this entry, you play as an attuner named Lilac, who can summon the power of the Homunculi. In this journey, you wake up from a laboratory, try to find your lost memories and save “precious friends in the Land of Fumes,” according to the Steam page. You’ll come across pretty 2D art and 30 different unique skills from the companions you meet as you explore this post-apocalyptic world. There’s also a lot of equipment, relics, and items to find on your adventure. Freedom Wars Remastered (PS4, PS5, Switch, PC) Publisher: Bandai Namco Developer: Dimps Price: Unannounced (as of the time of writing) Release Date: January 10 Trailer The PlayStation Vita hidden gem Freedom Wars finally gets a remaster on modern platforms on January 10. It has a unique scenario for this co-op action game. You begin your life as a criminal for just being born, and you’re fighting enemies and finishing missions to reduce your sentence. Bandai Namco says the game supports a 4K resolution and 60 frames per second on all current-gen platforms. Additionally, the game has upgraded textures, but to be honest, from the screenshots and footage so far, you can still tell it was originally a Vita game. The game has an overhauled weapon crafting system, new difficulty options, and more gameplay upgrades in Freedom Wars Remastered. As you play through the game, you’ll be given Thorn weapons to help you traverse each level and take down enemies. These weapons let you set traps, provide healing, and more benefits to your team. The materials you gather from fallen enemies will let you upgrade your weapons, similar to the Monster Hunter series.

By JOSH BOAK WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump loved to use tariffs on foreign goods during his first presidency. But their impact was barely noticeable in the overall economy, even if their aftershocks were clear in specific industries. The data show they never fully delivered on his promised factory jobs. Nor did they provoke the avalanche of inflation that critics feared. This time, though, his tariff threats might be different . The president-elect is talking about going much bigger — on a potential scale that creates more uncertainty about whether he’ll do what he says and what the consequences could be. “There’s going to be a lot more tariffs, I mean, he’s pretty clear,” said Michael Stumo, the CEO of Coalition for a Prosperous America, a group that has supported import taxes to help domestic manufacturing. The president-elect posted on social media Monday that on his first day in office he would impose 25% tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada until those countries satisfactorily stop illegal immigration and the flow of illegal drugs such as fentanyl into the United States. Those tariffs could essentially blow up the North American trade pact that Trump’s team negotiated during his initial term. Chinese imports would face additional tariffs of 10% until Beijing cracks down on the production of materials used in making fentanyl, Trump posted. Democrats and business groups warn of risks from Trump’s tariff threats Business groups were quick to warn about rapidly escalating inflation , while Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she would counter the move with tariffs on U.S. products. House Democrats put together legislation to strip a president’s ability to unilaterally apply tariffs this drastic, warning that they would likely lead to higher prices for autos, shoes, housing and groceries. Sheinbaum said Wednesday that her administration is already working up a list of possible retaliatory tariffs “if the situation comes to that.” “The economy department is preparing it,” Sheinbaum said. “If there are tariffs, Mexico would increase tariffs, it is a technical task about what would also benefit Mexico,” she said, suggesting her country would impose targeted import duties on U.S. goods in sensitive areas. House Democrats on Tuesday introduced a bill that would require congressional approval for a president to impose tariffs due to claims of a national emergency, a largely symbolic action given Republicans’ coming control of both the House and Senate. “This legislation would enable Congress to limit this sweeping emergency authority and put in place the necessary Congressional oversight before any president – Democrat or Republican – could indiscriminately raise costs on the American people through tariffs,” said Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash. But for Trump, tariffs are now a tested tool that seems less politically controversial even if the mandate he received in November’s election largely involved restraining inflation. The tariffs he imposed on China in his first term were continued by President Joe Biden, a Democrat who even expanded tariffs and restrictions on the world’s second largest economy. Biden administration officials looked at removing Trump’s tariffs in order to bring down inflationary pressures, only to find they were unlikely to help significantly. Tariffs were “so new and unique that it freaked everybody out in 2017,” said Stumo, but they were ultimately somewhat modest. Trump’s first term tariffs had a modest impact on economy Trump imposed tariffs on solar panels and washing machines at the start of 2018, moves that might have pushed up prices in those sectors even though they also overlapped with plans to open washing machine plants in Tennessee and South Carolina. His administration also levied tariffs on steel and aluminum, including against allies. He then increased tariffs on China, leading to a trade conflict and a limited 2020 agreement that failed to produce the promised Chinese purchases of U.S. goods. Still, the dispute changed relations with China as more U.S. companies looked for alternative suppliers in other countries. Economic research also found the United States may have sacrificed some of its “soft power” as the Chinese population began to watch fewer American movies. The Federal Reserve kept inflation roughly on target, but factory construction spending never jumped in a way that suggested a lasting gain in manufacturing jobs. Separate economic research found the tariff war with China did nothing economically for the communities hurt by offshoring, but it did help Trump and Republicans in those communities politically. When Trump first became president in 2017, the federal government collected $34.6 billion in customs, duties and fees. That sum more than doubled under Trump to $70.8 billion in 2019, according to Office of Management and Budget records. While that sum might seem meaningful, it was relatively small compared to the overall economy. America’s gross domestic product is now $29.3 trillion, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The total tariffs collected in the United States would equal less than 0.3% of GDP. Trump wants much more far-reaching tariffs going forward The new tariffs being floated by Trump now are dramatically larger and there could be far more significant impacts. If Mexico, Canada, and China faced the additional tariffs proposed by Trump on all goods imported to the United States, that could be roughly equal to $266 billion in tax collections, a number that does not assume any disruptions in trade or retaliatory moves by other countries. The cost of those taxes would likely be borne by U.S. families, importers and domestic and foreign companies in the form of higher prices or lower profits. Former Biden administration officials said they worried that companies could piggyback on Trump’s tariffs — if they’re imposed — as a rationale to raise their prices, just as many companies after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 boosted food and energy costs and gave several major companies the space to raise prices, according to their own earnings calls with investors. But what Trump didn’t really spell out is what might cause him to back down on tariffs and declare a victory. What he is creating instead with his tariff threats is a sense of uncertainty as companies and countries await the details to figure out what all of this could mean. “We know the key economic policy priorities of the incoming Trump administration, but we don’t know how or when they will be addressed,” said Greg Daco, chief U.S. economist at EY-Parthenon.

The country’s commercial capital has registered 10,200 property transactions during the month, up 5% from a year ago, while the exchequer has fetched 30% higher revenue worth Rs 924 crore through stamp duty collections, showed data from inspector general of registration, Maharashtra. “Mumbai’s property market continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience and adaptability to evolving buyer preferences. The increasing demand for premium properties and larger living spaces underscores a decisive shift towards quality, value, and long-term investment in the city’s ever-dynamic real estate landscape,” said Shishir Baijal, CMD, Knight Frank India. The sustained uptrend in the housing property market has pushed the cumulative registration numbers in the eleven months of 2024 to over 128,774 deals, marking a 12% year-on-year increase. Cumulative stamp duty collections too exceeded the Rs 11,000 crore milestone in November, marking the fastest growth in revenue from this segment for the state government.

This consistent performance underscores Mumbai Metropolitan Region's position as a critical driver of India's real estate and economic landscape, in addition to driving the state’s revenues and economic stability,” said Boman Irani, president, CREDAI National. During the month, demand for higher-valued properties saw a significant increase, with properties priced at Rs 2 crore and above making up 23% of registrations, up from 17% the previous year. Transactions in this segment totalled to 2,328 properties. Meanwhile, the share of properties valued at less than Rs 50 lakhs dropped sharply, falling to 20% from 28% in November 2023. On a sequential basis, property registrations saw a decline of 21%, with revenue collections decreasing by 23%. This was attributed primarily to the seasonal surge observed in October, fuelled by the festive activities of Diwali and Navratri. The modest activity in November may also reflect a market pause following October’s robust performance. Residential properties accounted for 80% of total registrations in November. Apartments sized between 500 and 1,000 sq ft remained the most preferred, representing 48% of all registrations during the month. The share of larger apartments measuring 1,000 to 2,000 sq ft also rose from 8% to 14%, and those over 2,000 sq ft grew from 2% to 5%, reflecting a steady shift in buyer preference towards more spacious living spaces. Smaller units up to 500 sq ft saw a sharp decrease, from 47% to 33%. Nominations for ET MSME Awards are now open. The last day to apply is November 30, 2024.
