First trans US congresswoman already in Republican crosshairs

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Alyssa Naeher ended her national team career with one last win. The stalwart goalkeeper made two critical saves in her final match for the United States, and the Americans beat the Netherlands 2-1 on Tuesday. “I definitely wasn’t thinking about it during the game, just wanted to win the game and do what I could to come away with the ‘W’ for us to close out the year,” Naeher said. Lynn Williams scored the go-ahead goal in the 71st minute for the U.S., which won its fifth Olympic gold medal in France this summer and wrapped up the year on a 20-game unbeaten streak. The Americans were coming off a scoreless draw with England on Saturday at Wembley Stadium. Naeher announced two weeks ago that the European exhibitions would be her final matches. The 36-year-old goalkeeper played in 115 games for the U.S., with 111 starts, 89 wins and 69 shutouts. Naeher is the only U.S. keeper with shutouts in both a World Cup and an Olympic final. She was in goal when the United States defeated the Netherlands 2-0 in the 2019 Women’s World Cup final. “I feel like in my heart I would love to keep going. In my head, in my body and mind, I feel like it’s the right time. And I think it’s the right time with this team as well as it builds towards the future and towards 2027,” Naeher said. “This environment, this team, is an incredible team to be a part of, but it’s also really hard and really challenging in a lot of ways as well. “I feel like I’ve given everything I have to give for this team and that’s why I feel at peace with that.” The Netherlands took the lead on center back Veerle Buurman’s header off a corner kick in the 15th minute. Naeher prevented a second goal when she punched away Dominique Janssen’s shot in the 38th. The United States drew even at the end of the first half on an own goal that deflected off Buurman and past Dutch goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar. Naeher slid to stop Danielle van de Donk’s shot in the 69th minute before Williams, a second-half substitute, scored her fourth goal of the year and 21st of her career. “I wouldn’t say that this was our prettiest game of soccer ever. And sometimes that’s how games go. You can talk about tactics, you can talk about formations, you talk about everything, but the biggest thing was matching their intensity. Getting to the second ball, getting to the first ball. That was the shift that needed to happen,” Williams said about the team’s second-half mindset. Naeher finished with six saves. She is not quite finished with soccer yet: She will continue playing next season for the Chicago Red Stars of the National Women’s Soccer League. “She’s been consistent again and again. Even when she’s been questioned at times in her career, she’s always found the answer,” U.S. coach Emma Hayes said. “Not only has she been a great player in this program, but let me tell you, she’s so loved by everyone, players and staff alike. She is the best teammate you could ask for and that just speaks volumes to the person that she is.” Lily Yohannes came in as a substitute in the second half. Yohannes, who has dual citizenship, opted to play for the United States over the Netherlands last month. She plays professionally for the Dutch club Ajax. The U.S. finished the year without the trio of Mallory Swanson, Trinity Rodman and Sophia Smith, who were left off the roster for the final two matches to rest and heal nagging injuries. The U.S. is unbeaten in 15 matches under Hayes, who took over in May.AP Sports SummaryBrief at 6:31 p.m. EST

The CEO of the B.C. Restaurant and Food Services Association, Ian Tostenson, said the shows that ended Sunday had an effect that went far beyond other concert or sporting events in the city. Tostenson said Monday that his group estimates there was a $25 million boost for Metro Vancouver’s establishments for each of the three show days. In comparison, a sold-out, highly anticipated Vancouver Canucks playoff game brings an estimated $3 million a day in economic impact, Tostenson said. “In the context of comparing to anything else, it’s not even believable almost — it’s such a huge impact,” Tostenson said. “I was out a little bit on Friday and Saturday, and every place I went to was absolutely lined up and packed.” Tostenson said the concerts rivalled the Olympics in drawing fans from regions far beyond what a typical playoff hockey game would, and while it is difficult to compare the 2010 Winter Games to the Taylor Swift weekend, the events were in the same magnitude in daily impact on restaurants. “The financial impact of the Olympics was massive, (but) it was spread out over a couple weeks in different venues and stuff,” he said. “So, you didn't sort of feel this concentration that you saw with Taylor Swift.” Tostenson also said Swifties bumped up business across Metro Vancouver all weekend, with one major restaurant owner with multiple locations reporting full capacity not just at its downtown location but also in North Vancouver and Olympic Village. He credits the festive mood brought by fans that had an emotional effect on people in general, which in turn has a major impact on restaurants, an industry built largely on discretionary spending. People consume more when the mood is right, he said. “From a financial point of view, the Olympics probably had a bigger impact,” Tostenson said. “But ... I'm going to venture to estimate that this, on a daily basis compared to the Olympics, was stronger.” Telecommunications giant Rogers said data used during the last show was enough to stream Swift's entire music catalogue 9,450 times. It said in a statement that fans on the company's network set a Canadian record when they used more than 11 terabytes of mobile data in just a few hours at BC Place. The company's chief technology officer Mark Kennedy said Monday that is the equivalent of uploading 307,000 photos and 2,180 hours of video streaming. The previous record was set Nov. 21, when fans at Swift's concert in Toronto used 7.4 terabytes of data on the Rogers network. Music industry publication Pollstar also said Monday that Swift's 149-show worldwide tour brought in revenue of US$2.2 billion in its 20-month run. Vancouver Police thanked residents and visitors for a "safe and memorable weekend." Const. Tania Visintin said in a social media post that police spent months preparing for the shows. "We've had so much fun meeting people of all ages from all around the world, trading friendship bracelets and showing what a great city it can really be when we all look out for one another," she said. Thirteen Swift-themed lighting installations were set up at locations around the city to celebrate the singer's arrival. Suzanne Walters, a spokeswoman for Destination Vancouver, said most of the lit-up letters will be coming down over the next few days, but the “Swiftcouver” display downtown will stay until Dec. 13 — Swift’s birthday. Walters said the letters will be reused for holiday displays over the month of December and then be part of a pool of rentable supplies. Swift told the 60,000 fans in BC Place at Sunday's show that they were part of a tour seen by 10 million people, and that it was the most thrilling chapter of her life to date. She said the legacy of the tour will be "a space of joy and togetherness and love" that the fans have created. Swiftie Alaina Robertson echoed Swift's sentiments after the show, saying she shed lots of tears watching the "once in a lifetime" spectacle. Robertson — who travelled from Camas, Wash., for the show and wore a "Reputation" inspired outfit along with a temporary silver bedazzled snake tattoo — said she doesn't think any other concert will be able to compare. "It's going to be hard to beat," she said of the show. "She's changing the world of music. She's changing entertainment entirely, and to be at the tour with the crowd here, getting to do the friendship bracelets, getting to get dressed up — it's just love and joy and friendship, and it's been really magical to be a part of it." Fan accounts on social media platform X have posted photos showing a number of television and music stars at BC Place Sunday night, including actors Jenna Fischer, Aubrey Plaza and Jesse Tyler Ferguson as well as Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder. — With files from Ashley Joannou, Brieanna Charlebois and The Associated Press This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 9, 2024.

What do Reviews of Real Mitolyn Users Say About Purple Peel Exploit for Weight Loss?It’s been a tough year for business. Growth across the UK remains low, and many businesses in the Highlands are still facing challenges in attracting staff; the housing shortage; and our inadequate transport infrastructure, which hampers the movement of goods and people across the region and to further afield. Business success is crucial. Growing businesses generate more tax revenue and create more jobs, which in turn contribute further to tax receipts. This funds essential public services like the NHS. A portion of this revenue is also reinvested to help businesses grow further, creating a cycle of continued economic growth. • • • For the past 20 years, productivity across Europe has fallen behind that of the United States, with one of the main reasons being lack of investment in technology, both at the government and business levels. When businesses fail to grow, fewer people are employed, tax revenue fails to keep pace with the increasing costs of public services, and the economy stagnates - a situation the UK has found itself in for several years. The new UK government appeared to recognise the need for business growth - they certainly talked about it often. So, it was disappointing when their first Budget resulted in larger-than-expected increases in business taxes. It’s a similar story with the Scottish Government. Despite claiming to be a business-friendly administration, they have failed for the third consecutive year to fully pass on the rates relief for hospitality and retail that is available in England. They have also resisted long-standing calls for reform of business rates. Locally, the hospitality industry is deeply concerned about the proposed “tourist tax”, which would be levied on top of VAT and business rates that are already among the highest in Europe. At Inverness Chamber of Commerce, we continue to campaign on these issues. Over the past year, we have expanded the services we offer to our members, with more improvements planned. For the year ahead, we’ve made the decision to freeze our membership fees. In light of the many challenges businesses are facing, we hope this gesture helps.What do Reviews of Real Mitolyn Users Say About Purple Peel Exploit for Weight Loss?

Losing weight and having a lean physique is a desire for many, nevertheless, for most, it stays just that — a dream. Have you ever wondered why? Why do some people seem to lose weight effortlessly, while others fight their entire lives? Why don't healthy nutrition and everyday exercise always produce the expected results? If you've heard that it's due to metabolism or a slow metabolic rate, you're half correct. But have you considered why your body's metabolism is sluggish in the first place? Diabetes, thyroid problems, a sedentary lifestyle, stress and other hormonal disorders are common causes of slow metabolism. However, there is a cause that frequently goes unnoticed: low mitochondrial levels. Mitochondria are the cells' energy powerhouses, transforming food into energy. When your mitochondria levels are inadequate, your body's capacity to effectively burn fat suffers, leaving you with obstinate body weight and a slew of other health issues. Is there no solution? Fortunately, nature provides an answer. Enter Mitolyn , a novel nutritional supplement that can target the underlying reason for excess body weight: low mitochondrial levels. Mitolyn has received some notice for its potential to address this hidden element, and user reviews are nothing short of inspiring. Mitolyn's claims of dramatic weight loss and apparent health improvements pique interest. In this in-depth Mitolyn review, you’re going to learn more about its ingredients, possible advantages, and potential to help you figure out if it's the solution you're looking for. Continue reading to uncover more about Mitolyn and its potential. Supplement Description Type: Fat-burning product Total Count: 60 capsules per bottle Produced For: 18+ Men and women with extra body fat Health Advantages: Serving Direction: Swallow 1-2 capsules every day with a full glass of cold water Manufacturing Standards: Cost: $59 onwards ( Official Website ) Refund: 90-day money-back guarantee Mitolyn is more than simply a weight loss pill; it's a groundbreaking composition that can help maximize your body's metabolic capabilities. It goes beyond the typical weight loss promises by addressing a basic factor that is frequently overlooked: the condition of your mitochondria. These microscopic yet important structures are the cells' powerhouses, transforming food into energy. When mitochondrial levels are low, your body struggles to burn calories efficiently, resulting in obstinate weight gain and low levels of energy. Mitolyn distinguishes itself with a distinctive blend of six exotic nutrients and botanicals carefully selected to help promote healthy mitochondrial activity. This one-of-a-kind mixture is based on scientific study, so each ingredient works together to help boost your metabolism and energy levels. Unlike generic supplements, Mitolyn's natural formula emphasizes sustainability and long-term benefits while minimizing the possibility of negative side effects. Mitolyn is made from 100% natural components and plant-based minerals, so it has no GMOs, additives, or dangerous stimulants. It comes in the form of an easy-to-take capsule, making your daily routine more convenient and simple. The formula is non-addictive, so consumers can start and stop without worrying about reliance. Mitolyn is made in an FDA-registered and GMP-certified facility, ensuring adequate levels of quality and safety. This dedication to perfection has made it a popular choice for people seeking long-term weight loss and better overall health. Mitolyn is more than just a supplement; it's a lifestyle update that can allow you to take control of your weight reduction journey and live a better, more active life. Get started with Mitolyn today! Importance Of Healthy Mitochondria Levels Mitochondria, sometimes known as the "powerhouses of the cell," play an important part in maintaining a healthy weight. When their function is disrupted, a series of issues arise, making weight management difficult. One of the most serious concerns associated with damaged mitochondria is the body's inability to burn fat efficiently. Mitochondria turn stored calories and fat into energy. When these tiny structures are damaged, fat oxidation decreases, resulting in persistent weight gain that nutrition and physical activity alone cannot reverse. Low mitochondrial levels also result in lower energy generation, which has a direct impact on physical activity. Individuals with poor mitochondrial health frequently feel fatigued, making it harder to maintain a vigorous routine or engage in regular workouts. This lack of mobility exacerbates weight growth, resulting in an endless cycle. Furthermore, damaged mitochondria cause hormonal abnormalities since they regulate metabolic hormones. Disruptions in these hormones can cause increased hunger, poor satiety, and a tendency to retain fat rather than burn it. Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are two additional problems linked with mitochondrial dysfunction. These factors not only impede metabolism but also encourage the storage of visceral fat, raising the risk of obesity-related illnesses. Without addressing these underlying causes, maintaining a healthy body weight is extremely impossible. Mitolyn is a science-backed, novel approach to weight loss that targets a primary reason that most fat management treatments overlook: low mitochondrial levels. These little powerhouses within your cells play an important part in your body's capacity to burn fat, generate energy, and maintain overall health. But how does Mitolyn do this? Mitolyn's success is based on its capacity to support and possibly increase the activity of mitochondria. Mitochondria transform the food you ingest into energy, known as ATP. This energy powers everything, from muscular contraction to brain activity. Low mitochondrial levels reduce energy generation, delay fat burning and cause undesirable weight gain. Mitolyn works to rejuvenate these cellular powerhouses, potentially helping your body burn fat more efficiently and produce the energy it requires to survive. Mitolyn is a holistic health supplement that does more than just help you lose weight. It can help promote cholesterol balance and may improve circulation, both of which benefit heart health. The mixture can also improve immune function, allowing your body to fight off infections more efficiently. It may help improve skin, liver and digestive health, possibly resulting in a more vibrant and energetic lifestyle. Chronic stress is a silent impediment to successful weight management. Mitolyn contains substances that may help control stress hormones, boost mood and promote mental clarity. Mitolyn can help promote the smoothest possible weight loss path by addressing both physical and mental well-being. Researchers discovered that decreased mitochondrial levels are a common cause in obese people. Mitolyn builds on this discovery by addressing the cellular basis of energy and fat metabolism. It's a comprehensive program designed to help you accomplish not only weight loss but also total energy and wellness.

Some customers report significant weight loss, generally in the 30-40 pound range, which they struggled to attain with traditional approaches. The most frequently claimed effects include increased energy, enhanced metabolism, and greater confidence in their appearance. One common topic in evaluations is the desire to better one's lifestyle. Customers frequently report feeling more active and capable of participating in daily tasks that were earlier laborious. Mitolyn appears to help more than just weight loss — it helps improve general well-being. Many purchasers prefer multi-bottle bundles, particularly the six-bottle option, because they allow for more consistent use and provide better value.

Some customers even say that Mitolyn re-energized their metabolism after years of stagnation, allowing them to burn stubborn belly fat and break through painful weight plateaus. Overall, consumers feel empowered and driven, with Mitolyn playing a key role in their quest for better health and happiness. Mitolyn is unique in terms of formulation. It is created using plant-based compounds, vitamins, and minerals. After a thorough research and examination, here are some of the main Mitolyn ingredients: Rhodiola is a potent adaptogen known for its potential ability to battle both physical and mental stress, making it a crucial element in Mitolyn. Stress frequently disturbs the body's metabolism, resulting in weight gain and energy depletion. Rhodiola works by improving mitochondrial activity, increasing energy output, and promoting fat metabolism . It also can regulate cortisol levels, which reduces stress-induced cravings and impulsive eating. Rhodiola may also boost endurance and stamina, allowing you to perform better throughout the exercise. This powerful herb keeps your body in peak condition for effective weight management by addressing both mental and physical pressures. Amla, commonly referred to as Indian gooseberry, is a high-antioxidant, vitamin C-rich superfood. This superfruit promotes healthy metabolism by lowering oxidative stress in mitochondria, allowing them to function more efficiently. Amla improves digestion and detoxification, which are essential for a healthy weight. Its anti-inflammatory qualities contribute to the reduction of chronic inflammation, which is frequently associated with persistent fat storage. Furthermore, Amla promotes greater absorption of nutrients, ensuring that your body receives the necessary components for energy production. Amla is an important ingredient in Mitolyn's weight loss recipe because of its capacity to potentially enhance metabolic health as well as cell function. Schisandra is a multi-purpose herb that promotes mitochondrial health by increasing energy output and decreasing weariness. It is well-known for its adaptogenic characteristics, which aid in the body's ability to cope with stress, a typical obstacle to weight loss. Schisandra also improves liver function by assisting in the detoxification processes required for proper metabolism. Its strong antioxidant concentration prevents oxidative stress and maintains mitochondrial integrity. Furthermore, Schisandra regulates blood sugar levels, lowering cravings and encouraging consistent energy. This substance keeps your body energized and concentrated during your weight-loss journey. Get Mitolyn now while it's on sale - limited time only! Maqui Berry contains a high concentration of antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, which shield mitochondria from oxidative stress. This superfruit improves fat metabolism by promoting healthy production of energy at the cellular level . Maqui Berry's anti-inflammatory characteristics also help to promote healthy metabolism, lowering the danger of fat storage caused by chronic inflammation. Furthermore, its capacity to regulate blood sugar levels reduces spikes and crashes, which aids in the control of appetite and cravings. Maqui Berry, with its numerous metabolic benefits, is an important component of Mitolyn's composition. Haematococcus is best recognized for its high levels of astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant that promotes mitochondrial function. Astaxanthin protects mitochondria from oxidative damage , resulting in maximum energy generation and fat-burning capacity. This component also improves cardiovascular health by supporting healthy blood flow, which is required for nutrient delivery and waste disposal at the cellular level. Haematococcus decreases inflammation, which is a major contributor to metabolic slowing and weight gain. Its unique capacity to increase cellular energy makes it an essential component of Mitolyn, helping to promote efficient fat metabolism and general health. Theobroma cacao, sometimes known as the "food of the gods," is an organic source of flavonoids and magnesium, each of which improves mitochondrial function. It stimulates energy generation by boosting blood flow to cells, ensuring that mitochondria receive vital nutrients. Theobroma Cacao also offers mood-enhancing qualities , lowering stress and preventing emotional eating. Its ability to regulate blood sugar levels reduces insulin surges that cause fat storage. Theobroma Cacao enhances Mitolyn's weight management strategy by promoting metabolic health as well as emotional well-being. Mitolyn is a low-cost weight loss supplement that can help anyone battling with excess fat. To ensure quality and genuineness, the manufacturers offer it exclusively through the official website .

Cryptos such as Bitcoin and Ethereum have risen a lot since their debut — but they’ve also experienced tremendous boom-bust cycles along the way. Experienced traders have been speculating on cryptocurrencies for years, but how can you get started if you’re new to the crypto market? Here’s how to start investing in cryptocurrency and the significant risks you need to watch out for. First things first, if you’re looking to invest in crypto, you need to have all your finances in order. That means having an emergency fund in place, a manageable level of debt and ideally a diversified portfolio of investments . Your crypto investments can become one more part of your portfolio, one that helps raise your total returns, hopefully. Pay attention to these five other things as you’re starting to invest in cryptocurrencies. As you would for any investment, understand exactly what you’re investing in. If you’re buying stocks, it’s important to read the annual report and other SEC filings to analyze the companies thoroughly. Plan to do the same with any cryptocurrencies , since there are literally thousands of them, they all function differently and new ones are being created every day. You need to understand the investment case for each trade. In the case of many cryptocurrencies , they’re backed by nothing at all, neither hard assets nor cash flow of an underlying entity. That’s the case for Bitcoin , for example, where investors rely exclusively on someone paying more for the asset than they paid for it. In other words, unlike stock, where a company can grow its profits and drive returns for you that way, many crypto assets must rely on the market becoming more optimistic and bullish for you to profit. Some of the most popular coins include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana , Dogecoin and Tether (a stablecoin) . So before investing, understand the potential upside and downside. If your financial investment is not backed by an asset or cash flow, it could end up being worth nothing. A mistake that many new investors make is looking at the past and extrapolating that to the future. Yes, Bitcoin used to be worth pennies, but now is worth much more . The key question, however, is “Will that growth continue into the future, even if it’s not at quite that meteoric rate?” Investors look to the future, not to what an asset has done in the past. What will drive future returns? Traders buying a cryptocurrency today need tomorrow’s gains, not yesterday’s. The prices of cryptocurrencies are about as volatile as an asset can get. They could drop quickly in seconds on nothing more than a rumor that ends up proving baseless. That can be great for sophisticated investors who can execute trades rapidly or who have a solid grasp on the market’s fundamentals, how the market is trending and where it could go. For new investors without these skills — or the high-powered algorithms that direct these trades — it’s a minefield. Volatility is a game for high-powered Wall Street traders, each of whom is trying to outgun other deep-pocketed investors. A new investor can easily get crushed by the volatility. That’s because volatility shakes out traders, especially beginners, who get scared. Meanwhile, other traders may step in and buy on the cheap. In short, volatility can help sophisticated traders “buy low and sell high” while inexperienced investors “buy high and sell low.” If you’re trading any asset on a short-term basis, you need to manage your risk , and that can be especially true with volatile assets such as cryptocurrency. So as a newer trader, you’ll need to understand how best to manage risk and develop a process that helps you mitigate losses. And that process can vary from individual to individual: Newer traders should consider setting aside a certain amount of trading money and then using only a portion of it, at least at first. If a position moves against them, they’ll still have money in reserve to trade with later. The ultimate point is that you can’t trade if you don’t have any money. So keeping some cash in reserve means you’ll always have a bankroll to fund your trading. It’s important to manage risk, but that will come at an emotional cost. Selling a losing position hurts, but doing so can help you avoid worse losses later. Finally, it’s important to avoid putting money that you need into speculative assets. If you can’t afford to lose it — all of it — you can’t afford to put it into risky assets such as cryptocurrency, or other speculative assets, for that matter. Whether it’s a down payment for a house or an important upcoming purchase, money that you need in the next few years should be kept in safe accounts so that it’s there when you need it. And if you’re looking for an absolutely sure return, your best option is to pay off high-interest debt. You’re guaranteed to earn (or save) whatever interest rate you’re paying on the debt. You can’t lose there. Finally, don’t overlook the security of any exchange or broker you’re using. You may own the assets legally, but someone still has to secure them, and their security needs to be tight. If they don’t think their cryptocurrency is properly secured, some traders choose to invest in a crypto wallet to hold their coins offline so they’re inaccessible to hackers or others. Remember that investing in cryptocurrency can be part of a broader investment strategy, but shouldn’t be your only one. While investing directly in cryptocurrency is popular, traders have other ways to get into the crypto game, some more directly than others. These include: Each of these methods varies in its riskiness and exposure to cryptocurrency, so you’ll want to understand exactly what you’re buying and whether it fits your needs. In theory it takes only a few dollars to invest in cryptocurrency. Most crypto exchanges, for example, have a minimum trade that might be $5 or $10. Other crypto trading apps might have a minimum that’s even lower. However, it’s important to understand that some trading platforms will take a huge chunk of your investment as a fee if you’re trading small amounts of cryptocurrency. So it’s important to look for a broker or exchange that minimizes your fees. In fact, many so-called “free” brokers embed fees — called spread mark-ups — in the price you pay for your cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency is based on blockchain technology . Blockchain is a kind of database that records and timestamps every entry into it. The best way to think of a blockchain is like a running receipt of transactions. When a blockchain database powers cryptocurrency, it records and verifies transactions in the currency, verifying the currency’s movements and who owns it. Many crypto blockchain databases are run with decentralized computer networks. That is, many redundant computers operate the database, checking and rechecking the transactions to ensure that they’re accurate. If there’s a discrepancy, the networked computers have to resolve it. Some cryptocurrencies reward those who verify the transactions on the blockchain database in a process called mining. For example, miners involved with Bitcoin solve very complex mathematical problems as part of the verification process. If they’re successful, miners receive a predetermined award of Bitcoins. To mine Bitcoins , miners need powerful processing units that consume huge amounts of energy. Many miners operate gigantic rooms full of such mining rigs in order to extract these rewards. As of October 2024, running the Bitcoin system burned as much energy per year as the country of Poland. If you’re looking to invest in Bitcoin, you have a variety of ways to do so, and you can work with a number of companies, including: If you’re looking to buy Bitcoin, pay particular attention to the fees that you’re paying. Here are other key things to watch out for as you’re buying Bitcoin . An altcoin is an alternative to Bitcoin. Many years ago, traders would use the term pejoratively. Since Bitcoin was the largest and most popular cryptocurrency, everything else was defined in relation to it. So, whatever was not Bitcoin was lumped into a catch-all category called altcoins . While Bitcoin is still the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization by far, it’s no longer the only game in town. Other altcoins such as Ethereum and Solana have grown in popularity, making the term altcoin somewhat outmoded. Now with a reported 15,000 or more cryptocurrencies in existence, it makes less sense than ever to define the industry as “Bitcoin and then everything else.” Cryptocurrency is a highly speculative area of the market, and many smart investors have decided to put their money elsewhere. For beginners who want to get started trading crypto, however, the best advice is to start small and only use money that you can afford to lose.

The New England Patriots entered Sunday’s matchup with the Miami Dolphins feeling like they were a team ready to turn a corner after a season’s worth of struggles. A 34-15 loss in Miami revealed just how much more work is left to do before they can make that pronouncement. Rookie quarterback Drake Maye struggled to make sense of things afterward but did make his own proclamation to his teammates. “I told some guys, just remember this feeling of really getting our butts whooped today, and it’s only up from here,” Maye said. There was plenty of bad football for the Patriots (3-9) to dwell on after losing for the third time in four games. It starts with self-inflicted mistakes, most notably committing 10 penalties for 75 yards, that left the team playing catch-up throughout the game. Maye completed 22 of 37 passes for 221 yards with 26 yards rushing but had a costly strip sack in the third quarter that led to a Miami score. It was his seventh turnover in three games. There also are big issues to work out for a Patriots defense that allowed Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to complete 29 of 40 passes for 317 yards and four touchdowns.

You can go back and forth on it, but the film doesn’t lie.” What’s working It seems insignificant right now, but it was encouraging to see Maye end the game on some positive notes after Miami took a 31-0 lead.

Musk won't stick long enough, it will be easier for him to go to Mars than making cuts in the government, says Trump's former chief of staff

Undefeated Oregon and No. 23 Texas A&M will collide Tuesday afternoon in Las Vegas in the second game of the new Players Era Festival. Both teams are in the "Power" group of the eight-team event. All eight teams are receiving $1 million for their name, image and likeness (NIL) collectives, but placing fourth or higher in the tourney in order will net them anywhere from $1.1 million to $1.5 million. The Aggies (4-1) opened the season with a three-point loss at UCF, but since then have won four straight, all in convincing fashion. Texas A&M upset then-No. 21 Ohio State 78-64 on Nov. 15 at home in College Station, Texas. Then the Aggies crushed Southern 71-54 last Wednesday, when Wade Taylor IV led the way with 17 points and six assists. All of Texas A&M's wins have been by double digits. The Aggies and Ducks (5-0) have split the two previous meetings against each other. Until March 2022 in an NIT second-round game, they had not met since the 1970-71 season. Texas A&M tied the overall series with a 75-60 win at home in 2022. The only player on the Ducks' current roster who played in that game was 7-foot senior Nate Bittle, who has been one of Oregon's best players so far this season. Bittle's 16.2 points and 10.2 rebounds per game lead the Ducks so far this season, and the big man also averages two blocked shots per game. Texas A&M guard Zhuric Phelps, a transfer from SMU, leads the Aggies in scoring at 16 points per game. Taylor adds 14 points per game. The Aggies could be the best defensive team the Ducks will have seen this season. A&M is allowing teams to shoot only 36.6 percent in games. Head coach Buzz Williams and his staff are hoping the team gets better at taking charges on defense, as the Aggies have just one so far this season. "I guess the thing that you work on most is verticality around the rim," Texas A&M assistant coach Steve Roccaforte told KBTX television. "‘Hey, once you get there, if you try and take a charge, it's going to be a block. Just jump as high as you can, stay vertical, try to go chest-to-chest. Make it a hard shot.'" Oregon is coming off a 78-75 win at Oregon State, the Ducks' first road game of the season. The Ducks trailed by 10 points at halftime but, as they have in several games this season, they found a rhythm on offense in the second half and came up with a comeback win. Bittle's 23 points and 14 rebounds led the way. Jackson Shelstad had 15 points and Jadrian Tracey and Keeshawn Barthelemy both added 10. "We started rebounding the ball a little better. Nate really got it going inside and our guys got him the ball," Oregon head coach Dana Altman told the school's athletics website. "He had a heck of a game." --Field Level MediaNone

The Case for Waiting Until Age 70 to Take CPPFarmland parcel on Beltline Road rezoned to light industrialATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Workers pushing for an end to smoking in Atlantic City casinos say the main employee union has been won over by tobacco companies seeking allies in the fight against smoking restrictions. An official of a union involved in the anti-smoking push on Monday called for the head of the Atlantic City casino workers' union, Donna DeCaprio, to resign for failing to protect her members from the dangers of secondhand smoke. DeCaprio is president of Local 54 of the Unite Here union, which opposes a smoking ban on the grounds that so much business would be lost by smokers taking their money elsewhere that it could cause one or more casinos to shut down, costing thousands of workers their jobs. “She should be ashamed of herself,” said Ray Jensen, assistant director of United Auto Workers Region 9, which represents dealers at three Atlantic City casinos and is part of a lawsuit seeking to have the courts force an end to smoking in the gambling halls. “She should hand in her union card.” DeCaprio said her union supports the health and safety of its members, adding improvements to the workplace environment need to be made. “A balance needs to be reached that will both protect worker health and preserve good jobs,” she said. “We are protecting our members against multiple casino closures and job losses. The UAW is eager to sacrifice the entire casino industry and put 25,000 good jobs with benefits at risk.” DeCaprio said between 50% and 72% of all in-person casino revenue in Atlantic City comes from smoking sections, which occupy only 25% of the casino floor. She said her union “and the vast majority of the labor movement” support a proposal that would improve ventilation in casinos and prevent any employee from being assigned to work in a smoking section against their will. Whether to ban smoking is one of the most controversial issues not only in Atlantic City casinos but in other states where workers have expressed concern about secondhand smoke. They are waging similar campaigns in Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Kansas and Virginia. Workers have been pushing for four years to end an exemption in New Jersey’s clean air law that allows smoking inside the nine casinos. They say they or their co-workers are becoming ill with cancer, heart disease and other conditions related to exposure to second-hand smoke. Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, has said he will sign a bill to end casino smoking if it reaches his desk. The casinos, joined by Local 54, oppose that effort, saying it will cost Atlantic City thousands of jobs and lead to decreased tax revenue for state programs for senior citizens and the disabled. On Monday, the workers group that calls itself CEASE (Casino Employees Against Smoking’s Effects) filed an appeal of a court ruling in August that allowed smoking to continue in the nine casinos. The Casino Association of New Jersey declined to comment Monday. Attorney Nancy Erika Smith said as far back as 1993, tobacco companies targeted labor unions in the hospitality industry as potential allies to work against smoking bans in the restaurant and hospitality industries. That effort included the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Union, a precursor of the Unite Here union. “HERE and the related AFL-CIO affiliates are critical allies which should be cultivated as supporters of the effort to prevent smoking bans,” a public relations firm wrote in a memo to Philip Morris Companies that was made public during several states' litigation against tobacco companies. The memo said having HERE “as an ally in this effort would be a very powerful voice.” As far back as 2001, HERE was part of a 12-member coalition including labor unions advocating for improved indoor ventilation instead of government-imposed smoking bans, according to another document cited in Monday's appeal. The anti-smoking campaigners cite a 2022 report by Las Vegas-based C3 Gaming, a consulting firm, showing that casinos that went smoke-free "appear to be performing better than their counterparts that continue to allow smoking.” ___ Follow Wayne Parry on X at www.twitter.com/WayneParryAC Wayne Parry, The Associated PressPanthers' close call against Chiefs has coach Dave Canales excited about the direction of the team

A 7-year-old rivalry between tech leaders Elon Musk and Sam Altman over who should run OpenAI and prevent an artificial intelligence "dictatorship" is now heading to a federal judge as Musk seeks to halt the ChatGPT maker's ongoing shift into a for-profit company. Musk, an early OpenAI investor and board member, sued the artificial intelligence company earlier this year alleging it had betrayed its founding aims as a nonprofit research lab benefiting the public good rather than pursuing profits. Musk has since escalated the dispute, adding new claims and asking for a court order that would stop OpenAI’s plans to convert itself into a for-profit business more fully. The world's richest man, whose companies include Tesla, SpaceX and social media platform X, last year started his own rival AI company, xAI. Musk says it faces unfair competition from OpenAI and its close business partner Microsoft, which has supplied the huge computing resources needed to build AI systems such as ChatGPT. “OpenAI and Microsoft together exploiting Musk’s donations so they can build a for-profit monopoly, one now specifically targeting xAI, is just too much,” says Musk's filing that alleges the companies are violating the terms of Musk’s foundational contributions to the charity. OpenAI is filing a response Friday opposing Musk’s requested order, saying it would cripple OpenAI’s business and mission to the advantage of Musk and his own AI company. A hearing is set for January before U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland. At the heart of the dispute is a 2017 internal power struggle at the fledgling startup that led to Altman becoming OpenAI's CEO. Musk also sought to be CEO and in an email outlined a plan where he would “unequivocally have initial control of the company” but said that would be temporary. He grew frustrated after two other OpenAI co-founders said he would hold too much power as a major shareholder and chief executive if the startup succeeded in its goal to achieve better-than-human AI known as artificial general intelligence , or AGI. Musk has long voiced concerns about how advanced forms of AI could threaten humanity. “The current structure provides you with a path where you end up with unilateral absolute control over the AGI," said a 2017 email to Musk from co-founders Ilya Sutskever and Greg Brockman. “You stated that you don't want to control the final AGI, but during this negotiation, you've shown to us that absolute control is extremely important to you.” In the same email, titled “Honest Thoughts,” Sutskever and Brockman also voiced concerns about Altman's desire to be CEO and whether he was motivated by “political goals.” Altman eventually succeeded in becoming CEO, and has remained so except for a period last year when he was fired and then reinstated days later after the board that ousted him was replaced. OpenAI published the messages Friday in a blog post meant to show its side of the story, particularly Musk's early support for the idea of making OpenAI a for-profit business so it could raise money for the hardware and computer power that AI needs. It was Musk, through his wealth manager Jared Birchall, who first registered “Open Artificial Technologies Technologies, Inc.”, a public benefit corporation, in September 2017. Then came the “Honest Thoughts” email that Musk described as the “final straw.” “Either go do something on your own or continue with OpenAI as a nonprofit,” Musk wrote back. OpenAI said Musk later proposed merging the startup into Tesla before resigning as the co-chair of OpenAI's board in early 2018. Musk didn't immediately respond to emailed requests for comment sent to his companies Friday. Asked about his frayed relationship with Musk at a New York Times conference last week, Altman said he felt “tremendously sad” but also characterized Musk’s legal fight as one about business competition. “He’s a competitor and we’re doing well,” Altman said. He also said at the conference that he is “not that worried” about the Tesla CEO’s influence with President-elect Donald Trump. OpenAI said Friday that Altman plans to make a $1 million personal donation to Trump’s inauguration fund, joining a number of tech companies and executives who are working to improve their relationships with the incoming administration. —————————— The Associated Press and OpenAI have a licensing and technology agreement allowing OpenAI access to part of the AP’s text archives.

Flyers riding high entering road battle with Wild

Years after his WWE falling out, Jesse Ventura is making an unlikely comeback

EDITORIAL: This December 27th was the 17th anniversary of two-time former prime minister Benazir Bhutto’s assassination in Rawalpindi at about the same place where the first prime minister of Pakistan and one of its founding fathers Liaquat Ali Khan fell to an assassin’s bullet nearly 73 year earlier. Both shocking incidents that left an indelible mark on the nation’s democratic journey remain shrouded in mystery. The latter’s assassin was killed on the spot, providing an alibi to whosoever planned and orchestrated the heinous act. Still, nagging questions persist given the uncontested fact that the shooter was sitting in the front row reserved for police officers from the Crime Investigation Department, making it easy for him to target the PM while he delivered his address. Regarding Benazir’s case, there is no doubt whatsoever that the deadly attack on her life was the result of a conspiracy. She was first targeted in October of that fateful year upon return from self-exile. Her massive homecoming procession came under a bombing attack at Karsaz in Karachi. Miraculously, she survived unhurt but hundreds of her party workers and supporters lost their lives. The second time the would-be assassins did everything to achieve their nefarious designs. Sharp shooters placed on rooftops of buildings surrounding her election rally, apparently, failed to find the right opportunity to hit her on stage. But others lay in wait on her way back in an armoured vehicle. As soon as she stood up to respond to a cheering crowd an attacker opened fire followed by a suicide bombing that left her mortally wounded and some 20 other people dead. The then government of Gen Pervez Musharraf blamed it on a Taliban commander, Baitullah Mehsud, who denied any involvement. Ten year later, an anti-terrorism court acquitted five Taliban suspects of conspiracy to murder the former prime minister, but sent two policemen to jail for purported negligence to prevent the attack, and also declared by then ex-president Musharraf - charged in the case - a fugitive from justice. As expected, her son PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari rejected that verdict. The court, obviously, had overlooked the findings of a UN Commission of Inquiry appointed at the request of PPP government, which brought to light some crucial details. Its April 2010 report noted that the government was quick to blame Baitullah Mehsud, although Bhutto’s foes potentially included elements from the establishment itself. Though it failed to reach a conclusion as to the organizers/sponsors of the attack, the commission said the security arrangements by federal and local authorities to protect Benazir were “fatally ineffective”, and subsequent investigations into her death were “prejudiced” and involved “a whitewash”. No surprise therefore if 17 year on the people and Benazir’s family as well as of those who lost their lives both in the Karsaz and Rawalpindi bombings await justice. This only encourages other potential killers to get rid of any political leader with impunity. In fact two years ago, former prime minister and PTI founder Imran Khan faced a botched assassination attempt in Wazirabad during a protest march on Islamabad. Luckily, he escaped with bullet injuries to a leg. But he was unable to lodge an FIR with the police even though his party ruled in Punjab where it happened. All these appalling incidents underscore the need for democratic accountability over which hangs a big question mark.

President Asif Ali Zardari on Saturday vowed to keep up the Bhutto family’s legacy of public service, dedicated to improving the socio-economic well-being of the nation. He hailed the establishment of Dr Ziauddin Hospital Sukkur Campus, adding that it will provide quality healthcare services to the people of Sukkur. The President expressed these views while addressing the inauguration of Ziauddin Hospital in Sukkur. Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah, Chief Minister Balochistan Mir Sarfaraz Ahmed Bugti, Dr Asim Hussain, Sindh provincial ministers, MNAs, MPAs, hospital establishment, and people from different walks of life attended the event. Speaking at the event, President Asif Ali Zardari hailed the inauguration of the state-of-the-art hospital as a transformative moment for Sukkur and its surrounding areas. He praised Dr Asim Hussain and the Ziauddin Hospital management for their efforts in establishing a facility equipped with cutting-edge technology and a team of highly skilled professionals. The President reflected on his personal involvement in encouraging Ziauddin Hospital to invest in Sukkur, highlighting the need for such initiatives to uplift healthcare standards in underserved areas. He said that the Government of Sindh would also bear the expenses for the establishment of a university at the Ziauddin Hospital Sukkur Campus. He stated that he had also donated his personal land for establishing Dr Ziauddin Hospital’s campus in Hyderabad. The President also highlighted that Rohri canal was being lined from its beginning and Rs 15 billion would be spent annually in this regard. He said that the funds generated from the trading of carbon credits in the international market were being used for the lining of the Rohri Canal project. The President said that the hospital exemplified Dr Asim Hussain and his family’s unwavering commitment to providing quality healthcare services to the people. He highlighted that Dr Ziauddin was a member of the Central Legislative Assembly before Pakistan’s independence and an associate of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, and now his family was carrying forward his legacy. President Asif Ali Zardari highlighted the significance of the university campus, where medical students can pursue higher education.

Ludhiana: Apprehending resentment in the ranks, the Congress did not even release the complete list of the candidates. On Thursday, the last day of filing nominations, the party only publicised a list of 88 candidates. The remaining seven candidates were individually approached and asked to file nominations. Candidates for wards 1, 22 70, 77, 78, 80 and 81 were not announced publicly. Despite such precautions, several congress workers have decided to contest elections independently. From ward number 51, Congress worker Harpreet Singh alias Preet Rajdhani announced that he would contest as an independent as he was denied a ticket. However, by Friday, he lent support to another independent candidate, Avneet Kaur Lapran, wife of former Congress leader Parvinder Singh Lapran. Lapran joined BJP but did not get a ticket, after which he decided to make his wife, Avneet, contest as an independent candidate. Lapran also shared a post on social media, thanking Preet Rajdhani for lending his support. Another Congress worker, Jaswinder Singh Thukral, had sought two tickets, one for himself and one for his nephew, Manraj Thukral. Since the party gave them only one ticket, Thukral made his wife, Jaspreet Kaur Thukral contest from ward number 46, though Manraj Thukral is contesting from ward number 44. Another Congress worker from ward number 40, Hardeep Singh Sokhi, on Thursday uploaded a post on his Facebook page saying that he had quit the Congress. A Congress leader admitted, “The reason for not releasing names of the last few candidates was the fear that the upset workers may file nominations from other parties or independently. Therefore, candidates were directly approached and were asked to file nominations.” He added that they would talk to the upset candidates and pacify them. We also published the following articles recently Congress may release first list of candidates this week The Delhi Congress is poised to release its initial list of assembly election candidates this week, marking a significant shift in strategy. The Congress Working Committee (CWC) is expected to convene and finalize the candidacies, potentially including former ministers and MLAs. This proactive approach contrasts with the party's past practice of delaying announcements. Independent candidate wins council bypoll Dismissed teachers' union leader Banshi Dhar Brijwasi secured a surprising victory in Bihar's Tirhut Graduates constituency election. Brijwasi, fired for protesting against the government, defeated the ruling JD(U) and RJD candidates.

Xi extends congratulations to 2024 Imperial Springs International Forum, calls for enhanced exchanges and understanding

In 2023, the United States Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy released an advisory report on the impact of social media on the mental health of young adults. This report acknowledged potential benefits from social media, but focused on the potential harm that social media can have on children and adolescences. The report highlighted the dangers related to frequency of use and content exposure, and in 2024, Dr. Murthy wrote an essay in the New York Times arguing for warning labels on social media platforms . The advisory report indicated that more information is needed to discover the exact pathways in which social media can harm mental health and well-being. One of these potential pathways is the impact of social media on relationships, especially regarding interpersonal boundaries, conflict resolution, and general attachment styles. Understanding the impact of social media on these specific domains will promote awareness that the potential dangers of social media are more than just frequency of use or what content the user is exposed to. Social media can influence how people generally relate to others, and this is especially important for youth and emerging adults. The Impact Of Social Media On Interpersonal Boundaries In 2020, Frontiers in Psychology published a study showing a connection between high self-disclosure on social media/social networking sites and a tendency to neglect long-term risks. The study is based on a theory that risky behaviors stem from impulsive and short-term thinking, whereas reflective and long-term thinking often yields better decision making. Many social media sites utilize real-time posts, which focuses on immediate and short-term thinking. Thus, according to the theory, it’s expected that many individuals will make poor decisions while on social media sites. The 2020 study focused on the decisions to make risky self-disclosures online, but other examples include making explicit comments, sharing inappropriate pictures, or revealing overly sensitive information. In 2017, Education Week published a story listing ten social media controversies regarding student use of social media. By focusing on immediate and short-term thinking, the use of social media often clouds the importance of interpersonal boundaries. Most social media sites emphasis individual profiles, which can potentially result in some users becoming myopic and disconnected with the broad implications of their posts. The Impact Of Social Media On Conflict Resolution Skills A hallmark of social media is the ability to have anonymity. Even without total anonymity, most social media users can limit how much identifying information is released to the public. In addition, many social media users are never held accountability of their actions while online. The combination of anonymity with a general lack of accountability can result in many social media users acting aggressively toward others. This aggressiveness can take the form of cyberbullying, and in 2024, the American Association of Colleges and Universities reported that 22 percent of college students reported being a victim of online bullying. However, this aggressiveness likely occurs more often in the form of a reduced motivation to engage in effective conflict resolution with social media contacts. It’s easier to criticize or block a social media contract than it is to foster empathy and active listening. Furthermore, some social media content might promote misinformation, and as stated above, could promote immediate and social term thinking. Both of these factors might hinder the willingness to engage in effective conflict resolution while online. The Impact Of Social Media On Attachment Styles As described in a seminal 1991 study in the Journal of Personality of Social Psychology , Bartholomew and Horowitz developed a model of interpersonal attachment based on a combination of positive and negative views of self and others. Secure attachment reflects positive and general views of self and others. However, these cognitive beliefs can change, and if/when they do, a person’s attachment style might also be altered. The Surgeon General’s advisory report discussed the potential harm that social media can have on self-esteem and self-comparison. It’s possible that this harm could result in some social media users becoming generally anxious, fearful, or dismissive about most relationships. As the Surgeon General noted, there are potential benefits in the use of social media. Protective factors to consider while utilizing social media include engaging in long-term/reflective thinking while making certain posts, interacting with social media contacts as if they were in-person contacts, and engaging with social media content that promotes positive views about self and others.N.J.

background fortune rabbit CM promises healthcare revampBeyoncé takes playful dig at Netflix ahead of Christmas halftime performanceWith 45 years worth of experience as a brewer, it's safe to say Andy Mitchell knows . or signup to continue reading His and multiple continents. So, what is it that makes a good drop? "Balance, I would think is probably the best or most important [aspect]," he said. "Most beers have hops which give that slightly bitter flavour, and the hops need to be in balance with the sweetness of the beer and so on." Another important aspect is the lack of infection. To the uninitiated, this term may seem scary, but don't worry; your beer won't give you COVID. However, if not brewed correctly, bacteria can enter the beer and give it an odd taste. This may even upset the unlucky drinker's stomach. "If you're drinking a standard lager and it's really, really sour, that's generally a sign that some sort of bacteria has got in during the process, and obviously, if you're not looking for the sour flavour, it's unpleasant." But as nasty as it sounds, infection in a beer may not always be a bad thing. Sometimes, it can be cultivated in a controlled way to give a beer a certain flavour. The South African expat's new book tells readers everything they need to know about beer. Beers are divided into two main groups: lagers and ales. Lagers are bottom-fermented beers brewed at colder temperatures, producing a lighter, crisper taste. Ales are top-fermented and brewed at warmer temperatures for a richer, fruitier flavour. However, both lagers and ales can be brewed in various ways. The lager side includes pilseners, dark lagers, black lagers, sour lagers, pale lagers, and light and alcohol-free lagers. Ales can range from pale to dark, sweet to Scotch ale, which Andy counts among his favourite brew types. Some brewers use ingredients typically used to make a stout or dark ale to create beers that still have a lager's crisp and refreshing taste. Andy is a master brewer with an MBA and a bachelor of science in chemistry and biochemistry. He has brewed in Australia, New Zealand, his native South Africa, and numerous European countries, managing small and large breweries. He is proud to have been at the forefront of South Africa's craft brewing revolution and has won awards for his craft brews In Australia. He sees craft brewing as a huge step forward for the industry, as it has encouraged brewers to become more experimental with their flavours. The book not only tells readers everything they never knew about beer but is also full of amusing anecdotes and little-known facts that are bound to keep trivia purists happy. One thing not many people would know is a lot of monks are involved in beer brewing. Andy said this practice dates back to Medieval times when the monks began brewing "liquid bread" to be consumed during Lent. One of the most delicious and complex beers Andy has tasted, Westvleteren 12, was brewed by the monks at Sint-Sixtus Abbey in Belgium. A friend recommended the beer to him, and he was initially sceptical due to its high alcoholic volume. However, upon tasting it, he was instantly blown away. "We set up in a little pub. I had one sip, and that was it. It was like 100 different flavours exploding in your mouth at the same time. "The balance was perfect. The flavours were stunning. I wanted to join the monastery." is available in softcover ($ 19.99) or e-book ($7.99). The book is available to order on Amazon or by emailing orders@Xlibris.com.au.

Harris: Fine Gael ‘will gain seats’ amid further fragmentation of Irish politics

(CNN) — After recent burglaries at homes of professional athletes – including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – the NFL has issued a security bulletin to teams and the players union warning that “organized and skilled groups” are increasingly targeting players’ residences for such crimes. The memo, issued Wednesday and obtained by CNN, warns that players across multiple sports leagues are being targeted. Perpetrators “appear to exploit team schedules to target athletes’ homes on game days,” and appear to be using public records, social media, media reports and surveillance to gather information on their targets, it says.

Mayor Fule looks back on 2024

Undercover FBI agents were not present during the 2021 attack on the US Capitol by Donald Trump supporters, a Justice Department watchdog said Thursday in a report debunking a popular right-wing conspiracy theory. "We found no evidence in the materials we reviewed or the testimony we received showing or suggesting that the FBI had undercover employees in the various protest crowds, or at the Capitol, on January 6," Justice Department inspector general Michael Horowitz said in an 88-page report. Thousands of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol on January 6 in a bid to prevent congressional certification of Democrat Joe Biden's election victory. Right-wing media and even some Republican lawmakers have spuriously claimed that undercover FBI agents provoked the attack on Congress, which followed a fiery speech by Trump in which he falsely claimed the election had been stolen. The inspector general said that while no undercover FBI agents were present at the Trump rally or the Capitol, 26 FBI informants known as confidential human sources (CHS) were in Washington at the time. Three of the informants had been tasked with reporting on domestic terrorist suspects while the others were there on their own. "None of these FBI CHSs were authorized to enter the Capitol or a restricted area, or to otherwise break the law on January 6, nor was any CHS directed by the FBI to encourage others to commit illegal acts on January 6," the report said. The inspector general also said there had been an intelligence-gathering failure by the FBI ahead of the January 6 attack. "While the FBI undertook significant efforts to identify domestic terrorism subjects who planned to travel to the Capital region on January 6," the report said, "the FBI did not take a step that could have helped the FBI and its law enforcement partners with their preparations. "Specifically, the FBI did not canvass its field offices in advance of January 6, 2021, to identify any intelligence, including CHS reporting, about potential threats to the January 6 Electoral Certification," it said. FBI deputy director Paul Abbate was quoted as saying this was a "basic step that was missed" in "understanding the threat picture prior to January 6." Trump was impeached by the Democratic-majority House of Representatives following the attack on the Capitol, but acquitted by the Senate. He is to return to the White House on January 20 after defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in the November presidential election. More than 1,500 people have been charged in connection with the assault on Congress. Trump has lauded them as "patriots" and "political prisoners" and pledged to pardon many of them when he returns to the White House. cl/st

Burning questions weigh heavily after the devastationbet fortune rabbit 。

It seemed like companies couldn’t hire information technology analysts fast enough in 2014 when Michael Deneen began his IT career. Job counts nationally soared in the 2010s and early 2020s, but then the market flattened and a profession that looked like it might grow uninterrupted started shedding jobs. Laid off twice this year from Minnesota IT jobs, Deneen said he’s found it hard to snag the next gig. “Before I could have three, four offers lined up and would have to choose between them,” the Columbia Heights man said. “It’s like I’m struggling to even get a foot in the door in places that I’m more than qualified for.” ADVERTISEMENT Even with the state’s relatively low 3.5 percen t unemployment rate, some mid-career Minnesotans and those just coming out of college are seeing a job market now that worries them. Recent layoffs at Cargill in the Twin Cities and last week’s announcement that Arctic Cat, the Minnesota snowmobile maker, will shutter its manufacturing operations next year in Thief River Falls and St. Cloud, have added to the anxiety. Analysts say Minnesota’s job market remains robust, but for some there’s a skills matchup problem as some sectors grow while others flatten or decline. “I’m not gonna lie, it’s been hard,” Deneen said of finding the next IT job. “I’ve had a lot of self-doubt now, like questioning is this really an industry I am good at? Is this something I should even be in anymore? I’m also 40. It’s like, I can’t really switch careers at this point.” ‘Shouldn't be this way’ Health care, government, leisure and hospitality and transportation are among the Minnesota sectors that continue to show strong job growth, according to state data. Other industries are growing slower, including construction and manufacturing. “We’ve heard from some folks that maybe it has taken a little longer than what they remember in the past if they were previously unemployed. Some individuals don’t say that at all,” said Sara Garbe, workforce development supervisor at the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. “November and reaching December, we certainly see a slowdown of hiring and folks may mention things like that they’ve heard from recruiters that maybe a decision won’t be made until after the holidays or after the first or the last quarter of the year,” added Garbe, whose staff works with new job seekers and those in mid-career. For recent college grads who haven’t landed work, the holiday season can bring its own pressures. ADVERTISEMENT Raina Hofstede, 22, studied English at Harvard University. Since graduating in May and coming back to Minnesota, she said job prospects have been nearly nonexistent. “I feel kind of directionless in the time period that I’m waiting,” said Hofstede, who grew up in Coon Rapids. “I feel like I really want to plan. I’m at a point where, like, I’d love to get things moving.” She’s applied to post-undergrad internships and career-advancing work. She’s looking into publishing, creative writing spaces and museums and hopes a stint working in comedy clubs while at Harvard might intrigue an employer. The search and the uncertainty around it is a grind, she acknowledged. “I think, as time goes on, and this feels sad, but I think as time goes on, my belief in myself slowly drops a little bit more with more rejections, and so I feel like I’ll be applying to less and less competitive things as I move forward,” Hofstede said. ' Minnesota showed strong steady job growth coming out of the Great Recession in 2009, reaching nearly 3 million jobs by February 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic torpedoed that growth — the state lost more than 400,000 jobs, nearly 14 percent of its employment, in the span of a few months. Job counts didn’t return permanently to pre-pandemic levels until September last year. The current state and national unemployment rates are relatively low, although they have ticked up over the past year. Minnesota’s unemployment rate is lower than the U.S. unemployment rate at 4.2 percent. Based on the most recent data, Minnesota has six unemployed people for every 10 job openings where nationally there are nine unemployed people for every 10 openings. ADVERTISEMENT Knowing that doesn’t make it easier for those looking for work, waiting for answers from prospective employers. “It just kind of feels like they have no respect for a candidate or their time, or them as a person,” Deneen said of the current market. “It’s an entire game, and it shouldn’t be this way.” ‘A little community’ Garbe said technology is transforming job searches in ways that may make landing work more challenging for some in mid-career or just starting out. Companies are using automated systems or in some cases artificial intelligence systems to screen applicants before a human gets to them. She encourages job seekers to reach out to one of DEED’s more than 50 CareerForce offices across the state where analysts can review resumes or cover letters with job seekers and offer help with writing and strategy. They can also connect people to needed training or certifications. Garbe also suggests reflecting on what you’ve accomplished to boost your self-confidence if you get overwhelmed. Social media has become a resource for job seekers as they look. Groups on Reddit like r/StudentJobSearch have become a space for venting and advice with conversations about job searching and applications. LinkedIn is also seeing similar support groups, including two Deneen is in that focus on networking and project management. ADVERTISEMENT Hofstede said she’s found solace leaning on those around her who are going through these same experiences. She and a group of new graduates meet at their public library to sift through job postings and work on cover letters and resumes together. “Something of a little community of people who are unemployed and looking for jobs, and I like having the friends support,” she said. “It is harder to go through something uncertain like this alone.”

Laid off twice this year from Minnesota IT jobs, Deneen said he’s found it hard to snag the next gig. “Before I could have three, four offers lined up and would have to choose between them,” the Columbia Heights man said. “It’s like I’m struggling to even get a foot in the door in places that I’m more than qualified for.” Even with the state’s relatively low 3.5 percen t unemployment rate, some mid-career Minnesotans and those just coming out of college are seeing a job market now that worries them. Recent layoffs at Cargill in the Twin Cities and last week’s announcement that Arctic Cat, the Minnesota snowmobile maker, will shutter its manufacturing operations next year in Thief River Falls and St. Cloud, have added to the anxiety. Analysts say Minnesota’s job market remains robust, but for some there’s a skills matchup problem as some sectors grow while others flatten or decline. “I’m not gonna lie, it’s been hard,” Deneen said of finding the next IT job. “I’ve had a lot of self-doubt now, like questioning is this really an industry I am good at? Is this something I should even be in anymore? I’m also 40. It’s like, I can’t really switch careers at this point.” Health care, government, leisure and hospitality and transportation are among the Minnesota sectors that continue to show strong job growth, according to state data. Other industries are growing slower, including construction and manufacturing. “We’ve heard from some folks that maybe it has taken a little longer than what they remember in the past if they were previously unemployed. Some individuals don’t say that at all,” said Sara Garbe, workforce development supervisor at the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. “November and reaching December, we certainly see a slowdown of hiring and folks may mention things like that they’ve heard from recruiters that maybe a decision won’t be made until after the holidays or after the first or the last quarter of the year,” added Garbe, whose staff works with new job seekers and those in mid-career. For recent college grads who haven’t landed work, the holiday season can bring its own pressures. Raina Hofstede, 22, studied English at Harvard University. Since graduating in May and coming back to Minnesota, she said job prospects have been nearly nonexistent. “I feel kind of directionless in the time period that I’m waiting,” said Hofstede, who grew up in Coon Rapids. “I feel like I really want to plan. I’m at a point where, like, I’d love to get things moving.” She’s applied to post-undergrad internships and career-advancing work. She’s looking into publishing, creative writing spaces and museums and hopes a stint working in comedy clubs while at Harvard might intrigue an employer. The search and the uncertainty around it is a grind, she acknowledged. “I think, as time goes on, and this feels sad, but I think as time goes on, my belief in myself slowly drops a little bit more with more rejections, and so I feel like I’ll be applying to less and less competitive things as I move forward,” Hofstede said. ' Minnesota showed strong steady job growth coming out of the Great Recession in 2009, reaching nearly 3 million jobs by February 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic torpedoed that growth — the state lost more than 400,000 jobs, nearly 14 percent of its employment, in the span of a few months. Job counts didn’t return permanently to pre-pandemic levels until September last year. The current state and national unemployment rates are relatively low, although they have ticked up over the past year. Minnesota’s unemployment rate is lower than the U.S. unemployment rate at 4.2 percent. Based on the most recent data, Minnesota has six unemployed people for every 10 job openings where nationally there are nine unemployed people for every 10 openings. Knowing that doesn’t make it easier for those looking for work, waiting for answers from prospective employers. “It just kind of feels like they have no respect for a candidate or their time, or them as a person,” Deneen said of the current market. “It’s an entire game, and it shouldn’t be this way.” Garbe said technology is transforming job searches in ways that may make landing work more challenging for some in mid-career or just starting out. Companies are using automated systems or in some cases artificial intelligence systems to screen applicants before a human gets to them. She encourages job seekers to reach out to one of DEED’s more than 50 CareerForce offices across the state where analysts can review resumes or cover letters with job seekers and offer help with writing and strategy. They can also connect people to needed training or certifications. Garbe also suggests reflecting on what you’ve accomplished to boost your self-confidence if you get overwhelmed. Social media has become a resource for job seekers as they look. Groups on Reddit like r/StudentJobSearch have become a space for venting and advice with conversations about job searching and applications. LinkedIn is also seeing similar support groups, including two Deneen is in that focus on networking and project management. Hofstede said she’s found solace leaning on those around her who are going through these same experiences. She and a group of new graduates meet at their public library to sift through job postings and work on cover letters and resumes together. “Something of a little community of people who are unemployed and looking for jobs, and I like having the friends support,” she said. “It is harder to go through something uncertain like this alone.”Bill O'Reilly Criticizes 'Woke Movement' as Election Discourse Intensifies; MSNBC Faces Post-Election ChallengesAtiku Abubakar condemns a military-style parade held for Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu, calling it a violation of military traditions He demands an investigation into the legitimacy of the "Nigeria Cadet Network," the civilian group behind the parade, and its unauthorized use of firearms Atiku stresses the importance of preserving the integrity of the Nigerian Armed Forces and ensuring accountability if legal violations were committed CHECK OUT: Education is Your Right!

Holiday shopping doesn't have to be stressful

ISLAMABAD: Advisor to Prime Minister on Political and Public Affairs Rana Sanaullah on Saturday suggested that if heads of the three major political parties — the PTI, PML-N and PPP — sit around the table for negotiations, 70-year-long crises being faced by the country would be resolved in a span of mere 70 days. “The multifarious crises that have surrounded the country for 70 years would stand resolved if negotiation committee comprising former premiers – Nawaz Sharif, Imran Khan and President Asif Ali Zardari sit together,” Rana Sanaullah emphasized while addressing a ceremony in Lahore on Saturday. “Nawaz Sharif’s name should be there [...] Imran Khan’s name should be there and Asif Ali Zardari’s name should be there,” he said. “We, the politicians, should sit together. The problem is that before we sit down, it is very important that the mistakes that were made by the people who are sitting down are accepted.” He said that two documents — the 1973 Constitution and the charter of democracy — were important political documents. In the charter of democracy, both leaders — PPP’s Benazir Bhutto and PML-N’s Nawaz Sharif — accepted their mistakes and then the conversation moved forward, PM’s aide Sanaullah said. He said that the PTI claims that its mandate was stolen and it should be returned. “Only yesterday, you (PTI) had [the mandate]. Why did you not speak then?” the PML-N leader said. “We do want to make them [negotiations] successful with complete sincerity,” Sanaullah said, adding that if “today’s grievances are to be accepted then yesterday’s should also be accepted”. Sanaullah said that his party had always called for negotiations to solve the political problems, citing former premier Nawaz Sharif’s October 21 speech last year. He said that negotiations were the only way to move forward and solve the issues. Defence minister questions PTI’s ‘change in tone’ Separately, at the same event, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif questioned PTI’s reasoning for wanting negotiations after refusing to have talks with the PML-N for around two years. “They used to say that they (PML-N) have no authority, and we will talk to those who have the authority,” he said. “Why now? What has happened in the past 15, 20 days that you have agreed for negotiations,” the PML-N leader said. “Someone tell me what the secret behind this is? [...] With all seriousness, tell me what the secret is,” he said. “I am in favour of the negotiations,” he said, however, he said the government should be cautious with Imran. “Tell me who has he been faithful to?” Asif said. “He [Imran] uses people. Don’t get used. I am warning you,” he advised the government he is a part of, adding that he wanted the negotiations to be successful. “I have been saying this on the assembly’s floor that there should be a social contract.” “I have a suggestion [...] I think all the power centres should be part of the negotiations. This is not just the politicians’ problem,” he said. “There are power centres in this country. There’s the army, the bureaucracy, the politicians, the judiciary, media and big business, they’re the power centres,” he said. “They should sit down and find a solution to the country’s problems,” he added. ‘Imran does not want political space’: PTI’s Shibli At a press conference in Islamabad on Saturday, PTI Senator Shibli Faraz maintained that Imran was not negotiating for any personal gain or space to operate politically. “Imran Khan is not negotiating to find political space. He has said that he will not be part of any arrangement where he is doing this for himself,” the senator said. “He is in jail for the Pakistani people and is standing by the stance he has adopted.” Shibli added that the PTI, at all levels of membership, are “being tested”. He stated that Imran’s conditions for the talks are the release of jailed PTI workers. “He has demanded their release, but he is fighting his own battle himself,” the senator clarified. “Those responsible for whether or not the negotiations will work are the government,” Shibli added.

Shatel: Nebraska is going to a bowl game again — and here are some dream matchupsLOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California quarterback Miller Moss is entering the transfer portal after losing the Trojans' starting job last month. Moss made his announcement on social media Monday. Moss started the Trojans ' bowl victory last season and their first nine games this season before coach Lincoln Riley replaced him with Jayden Maiava in early November. “Being a USC Trojan was a lifelong dream of mine,” Moss wrote. “Putting on the cardinal and gold and competing on behalf of my teammates and school is something I will forever take pride in. I poured everything I have into this — body, heart, mind and soul — and am humbled by and proud of what my teammates and I accomplished.” Moss, who was born in Los Angeles and went to high school in the San Fernando Valley, signed with USC before Riley arrived at the school. Moss also stayed with the Trojans after Caleb Williams transferred from Oklahoma to rejoin Riley, and he served as Williams’ backup for two seasons before getting his chance to play with six touchdown passes in last year's Holiday Bowl. Moss completed 64.4% of his passes this season for 2,555 yards with 18 touchdowns and nine interceptions. After a spectacular 378-yard performance to beat LSU in the Trojans' season opener, Moss didn't play poorly as a starter, but he also wasn't a difference-maker while USC stumbled to a 4-5 record. Moss threw seven interceptions in his final five starts before losing the job to Maiava. The Trojans went 1-4 in that stretch under Moss, who plays as a more traditional pocket passer while Maiava has the mobility usually favored for quarterbacks in Riley's spread offense. “Looking towards the future, I'm unwaveringly committed to becoming an even better quarterback and leader, and to achieving this at the next level,” Moss wrote. Moss has already graduated from USC, putting him in the portal as a graduate student. USC (6-6) is headed to a lower-tier bowl game again to finish this season, its third under Riley.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Gross Law Firm issues the following notice to shareholders of Edwards Lifesciences Corporation (NYSE: EW). Shareholders who purchased shares of EW during the class period listed are encouraged to contact the firm regarding possible lead plaintiff appointment. Appointment as lead plaintiff is not required to partake in any recovery. CONTACT US HERE: https://securitiesclasslaw.com/securities/edwards-lifesciences-loss-submission-form/?id=113425&from=3 CLASS PERIOD: February 6, 2024 to July 24, 2024 ALLEGATIONS: According to the complaint, defendants provided investors with material information concerning Edwards’ expected revenue for the fiscal year 2024, particularly as it related to the growth of the Company’s core product, Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (“TAVR”). Defendants’ statements included, among other things, strong commitment to the TAVR platform, confidence in the Company’s ability to capitalize on a subset of untreated patients through scaling of its various patient activation activities, and continued claims of significant demand in allegedly lower-penetrated markets. On July 24, 2024, Edwards unveiled below-expectation financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and, in particular, slashed its revenue guidance for the TAVR platform for the full fiscal year 2024. The Company attributed the TAVR setback on the “continued growth and expansion of structural heart therapies ... [which] put pressure on hospital workflows.” Investors understood this to mean that developments in new procedures, including defendant’s own Transcatheter Mitral and Tricuspid Therapies (“TMTT”), put significant strain on hospital structural heart teams such that they were underutilizing TAVR, despite the Company’s continued claim of a significantly undertreated patient population. Moreover, the Company announced three acquisitions during the second quarter designed to embolden their treatments alternative to TAVR, suggesting further that the company was aware of the potential for the TAVR platform’s decelerated growth. Investors and analysts reacted immediately to Edwards’ revelations. The price of Edwards’ common stock declined dramatically. From a closing market price of $86.95 per share on July 24, 2024, Edwards’ stock price fell to $59.70 per share on July 25, 2024, a decline of about 31.34% in the span of just a single day.

Six-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick interviewed for the head-coaching job at North Carolina, Inside Carolina and the Raleigh News & Observer reported Thursday. According to the News & Observer, Belichick "blew them away in the interview," yet he is not likely to move forward because he is pushing 73 years old and has no experience in the college game. After he and the New England Patriots agreed to part ways following a 24-year stint, Belichick interviewed for the head job with the Atlanta Falcons, who instead hired Raheem Morris. The North Carolina interview is the first known instance of Belichick showing interest in a college position. Belichick is expected to draw interest for NFL openings in the upcoming hiring cycle. The Tar Heels retained an outside advisory firm to identify coaching candidates to replace Mack Brown, whom they fired at the end of the regular season. North Carolina went 6-6, including 3-5 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. "We've had a tremendous response of people across the country, of agents calling us, coaches, people calling on behalf of other people that are in the industry," North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham said in an in-house interview the school posted online earlier this week. "We are very optimistic of where we are, the interest in our program is just extraordinary, and we'll get a great coach to lead us. Who can lead us in the next three, five, 10 years? We need somebody that can come in and take us from good to great." --Field Level MediaMAP Meeting Evolves into MedSpa Pro, Builds Momentum for Record-Breaking 2025North Carolina has interviewed former New England Patriots coach and six-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick for its head coaching position, two people with knowledge of the situation said Thursday. Both people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the school isn't commenting publicly on its search. Belichick's interview, first reported by Inside Carolina, comes a week after the school fired its winningest coach in College Football Hall of Famer Mack Brown. The school announced Nov. 26 that Brown wouldn't return for a seventh season in his second stint at the school, with Brown staying on to coach last weekend's rivalry loss to N.C. State. Former Cleveland Browns coach Freddie Kitchens is working as the interim coach for an upcoming bowl game as UNC conducts it search. Moving on from the 73-year-old Brown to hire the 72-year-old Belichick would mean UNC is turning to a coach who has never worked at the college level, yet had incredible NFL success alongside quarterback Tom Brady throughout most of his 24-year tenure with the Patriots that ended last season . In the time since, he had been linked to NFL jobs , notably the Atlanta Falcons in January. UNC’s opening comes at a time of rapid changes in college athletics with free player movement through the transfer portal and players able to cash in on their athletic fame with endorsement opportunities. There’s also the impending arrival of revenue sharing, part of a $2.8 billion antitrust settlement proposal that gained preliminary approval by a judge in October. “I think it's a great time for me to get out,” Brown said after Saturday's loss to the Wolfpack. “This isn't the game that I signed up for. It's changed so much.” In an UNC-produced podcast earlier this week, athletic director Bubba Cunningham said all the coaches the school is talking with about its job “are playing,” with college football having reached its conference title games before unveiling the 12-team College Football Playoff and bowl assignments. Cunningham said then that “fit” was the most important thing in finding Brown’s successor. “There's a certain person that’s best suited at the right time, at the right place,” he said. “And right now, that’s we’re looking for: Where are we today, who can lead us in the next three, five, 10 years?” Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.

Government officials issued the alert after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake shook part of the state Thursday. The quake struck a bit before 11 a.m. in coastal Humboldt County, California , near the Oregon border, and was felt down to San Francisco . It was followed shortly after by a tsunami warning affecting at least 5.3 million people. Tsunamis – large, destructive ocean waves that can be triggered by powerful earthquakes – don’t pose much of a threat to most of the United States, based on data from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. But areas in Alaska , California, Hawaii , Oregon and Washington are notable exceptions, thanks to quakes around the Pacific Rim and proximity to so-called subduction zones , where two of the planet’s plates have collided, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. As part of FEMA’s National Risk Index , the agency calculates communities’ potential for negative impacts relative to other communities from a number of natural hazards, including tsunamis. Data from the index is incorporated into the Healthiest Communities rankings from U.S. News, and is based on an equation involving expected annual loss, social vulnerability and community resilience.

Chinese women sport Lululemons, carry Stanley cups to create 'white woman aesthetic'

The alarming rise in subway crime over the past five years has New Yorkers on edge . Assaults this year are up 56% over 2019, and after decades in which underground murders averaged one or, at most, two a year, we’ve had 10 so far in 2024 — double the number of killings seen in 2023. So it was great to hear on Monday that the City Council would hold a special hearing to address the problem of safety in the subways. Except: The hearing wasn’t about rampant crime, but about the one type of subway bodily harm that is entirely avoidable — because it’s entirely self-inflicted. “Subway surfing” is a fad where passengers, almost always adolescents, climb on top of subway cars on elevated lines and “surf” them, balancing atop trains that can hit speeds of 50 miles per hour. This obviously dangerous activity has killed six kids this year alone, with another seven badly injured. Subway surfing is clearly no joke. In early November, a girl fell off a 2 train in Harlem and lost an arm and a leg. Grisly images of her arm lying on top of a traffic signal ought to be enough warning for any would-be copycats that this game is a bad idea. In response, the MTA, the schools, the Department of Youth and Community Development and the NYPD have gone all-out with subway ads, a social media campaign and in-school messaging to spread the word . The police are using drones to identify subway surfers in real time, and have arrested 181 of these dotty daredevils so far this year. But leave it to the City Council to grandstand, groan and grouse about how New Yorkers have failed their youth. Public Advocate Jumaane Williams said he was “concerned about the increased arrests of young people,” and especially worried about the “increased use of surveillance technology, especially considering the NYPD’s concerning history of surveilling New Yorkers.” “I often ask myself, would I listen to me as a young person?” Williams pondered during his testimony. “I’m not sure I have the full answer to that.” He concluded his remarks with a predictable demand to “expand resources for youth, including mental-health treatment and safe, engaging after-school programs.” Council Member Althea Stevens continued this line of inquiry. “Why are young people doing this and not engaging our programs? Are our programs not engaging enough?” she fretted. “We have a responsibility to address the root causes . . . including lack of engagement in activities.” The leftist focus on “programs” and “activities” undergirds, of course, their real goal of increased social spending — the eternal progressive answer to every problem. New York City offers 900 after-school programs, all free or almost free, in addition to dozens of sports teams and clubs, and spends billions of dollars to maintain parks, playgrounds, pools and recreation centers, so kids have something better to do than play in traffic or teeter on trains. Nonetheless, we have failed in our “responsibility” to “engage” our youth. Subway surfing is a problem, and kids who do it should probably be introduced to the girl who lost two limbs falling off a train in order to scare them silly. But what’s really telling is that the City Council raced to schedule a hearing on this topic — which, frankly, there’s not much it can do about — while studiously ignoring the subway system’s rampant crime, a problem which falls within its power to address. At a public safety budget hearing in March 2024 — one of the few recent council hearings that has even touched on transit crime — Williams insisted that crime in the subway was caused by the presence of the police. Council Member Lincoln Restler lambasted the NYPD for “sweeping up” non-whites in “mass arrest” operations. And Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark, without evidence, asserted that “the lack of resources for youth and mental health are driving violence, subway crime and retail theft.” The dirty truth about subway crime is that the city knows exactly how to go about reducing it, because we have done it before. Proactive policing would stop farebeaters who are caught entering the system — a proven method for finding and seizing illegal guns, or at least for convincing people to leave their guns at home. More cops on platforms and trains keep criminals out of the system. And vigorous application of Kendra’s Law would force seriously mentally ill derelicts living in the subway system to get the treatment they obviously need. It’s one thing to pound on the table and demand a solution to the problem of teens putting themselves in danger by clambering over moving trains. It’s something else entirely to deal with the gangbangers, maniacs and menaces who have been permitted to turn the subways of New York into their playrooms.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Married couples across the U.S. have had access to no-fault divorce for more than 50 years, an option many call crucial to supporting domestic abuse victims and key to preventing already crowded family courts from drowning in complicated divorce proceedings. But some advocates for women worried as old comments from now Vice President-elect JD Vance circulated during the presidential campaign opposing no-fault divorce. After President-elect Donald Trump and Vance won the election, warnings began popping up on social media urging women who might be considering divorce to "pull the trigger" while they still could. Some attorneys posted saying they saw a spike in calls from women seeking divorce consultations. Donald and Ivana Trump pose in May 1988 outside the Federal Courthouse in New York after she was sworn in as a United States citizen. Trump — who is twice-divorced — hasn't championed overhauling the country's divorce laws, but in 2021 Vance lamented that divorce is too easily accessible, as have conservative podcasters and others. "We've run this experiment in real time and what we have is a lot of very, very real family dysfunction that's making our kids unhappy," Vance said during a speech at a Christian high school in California, where he criticized people being able to "shift spouses like they change their underwear." Marriage rates held steady but divorce rates of women age 15 and older declined from 2012 to 2022, according to U.S. Census Bureau data released in October. Despite concerns, even those who want to make divorces harder to get say they don't expect big, swift changes. There is not a national coordinated effort underway. States determine their own divorce laws, so national leaders can't directly change policy. "Even in some of the so-called red states, it hasn't gotten anywhere," said Beverly Willett, co-chair of the Coalition for Divorce Reform, whose group unsuccessfully attempted to convince states to repeal their no-fault divorce laws. A couple exchanges wedding bands Oct. 11, 2018, at City Hall in Philadelphia. Mark A. Smith, a political science professor at the University of Washington, said while many Americans became accustomed to no-fault divorce being an option, Vance's previous comments on making it more difficult to separate from a spouse could help jump-start that effort. "Even though he's not directly proposing a policy, it's a topic that hasn't gotten a ton of discussion in the last 15 years," Smith said. "And so to have a national profile politician talk that way is noteworthy." Meanwhile, Republican Party platforms in Texas and Nebraska were amended in 2022 to call for the removal of no-fault divorce. Louisiana's Republican Party considered something similar this year but declined to do so. A handful of proposals were introduced in conservative-led statehouses over the years, but all immediately stalled after they were filed. In January, Oklahoma Republican Sen. Dusty Deevers introduced legislation that would have removed married couples from filing for divorce on the grounds of incompatibility. Deevers backed the bill after writing a piece declaring no-fault divorce was an "abolition of marital obligation." Sen. JD Vance smiles as his wife Usha Vance applauds Nov. 6 at an election-night watch party at the Palm Beach Convention Center in West Palm Beach, Fla. Similarly, in South Carolina, two Republican lawmakers in 2023 filed a bill that would have required both spouses to file for a no-fault divorce application rather than just one. In South Dakota, a Republican lawmaker attempted to remove irreconcilable difference as grounds for divorce since 2020. None of the sponsors of these bills responded to interview requests from The Associated Press. All are members of their state's conservative Freedom Caucus. Nevertheless, some Democratic lawmakers say they remain worried about the future of no-fault divorce. They point to the U.S. Supreme Court overturning the constitutional right to abortion in 2022 as an example of a long-accepted option that was revoked through a decades-long effort. "When you choose to be silent, you allow for this to creep in," said Democratic South Dakota Rep. Linda Duba. "These are the bills that gain a foothold because you choose to be silent." Before California became the first state to adopt a no-fault divorce option in 1969, married couples had to prove their spouse violated one of the approved "faults" outlined in their state's divorce law or risk a judge denying their divorce, said Joanna Grossman, a law professor at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. Qualified reasons varied from state to state, but largely included infidelity, incarceration or abandonment. Donald and Marla Trump wave to photographers Dec. 20, 1993, as they enter their wedding reception in New York's Plaza Hotel. The system was a particular burden on domestic violence victims, who are often women who could be stuck in dangerous marriages while they try to prove their partner's abuse in court through expensive and lengthy legal proceedings. "If there was any evidence that the couple both wanted to get divorced that was supposed to be denied because divorce was not something you got because you wanted it, it was something you got because you've been wronged in a way that the state thought was significant," Grossman said. To date, every state in the U.S. adopted a no-fault divorce option. However, 33 states still have a list of approved "faults" to file as grounds for divorce — ranging from adultery to felony conviction. In 17 states, married people only have the option of choosing no-fault divorce to end their marriages. The link between rates of divorce and age at first marriage has been borne out over time, but it also explains geographic differences in rates of divorce. Today, most of the states with the lowest rates of divorce are also those with a higher median age for marriage. States like New Jersey, New York, California, and Massachusetts all stand out for having fewer than 10% of adults divorced and an age at first marriage above 30. One exception to this is Utah, which has the lowest overall median age for first marriage at 25.5 but also the third-lowest share of divorced adults at 9%, likely due in part to the state’s strong religious ties to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints . In contrast, Maine and Nevada lead all states in the share of the population currently divorced at 13.9% and 13.8%, respectively. And at the local level, many of the cities with the highest levels of divorce are found in Florida, Appalachia, and the Southwest. The data used in this analysis is from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 American Community Survey . To determine the most divorced locations, researchers at ChamberOfCommerce.org calculated the percentage of adults currently divorced. In the event of a tie, the location with the higher percentage of adults currently separated was ranked higher. To improve relevance, only cities with at least 100,000 residents were included. Additionally, cities were grouped into cohorts based on population size: small (100,000–149,999), midsize (150,000–349,999), and large (350,000 or more).

Recommended Videos Public servants took home nearly $150 million in standby pay last year, according to newly-released documents, with some taking home six-figure sums — on top of their regular salaries — just to be on-call. In response to an order paper question tabled by Conservative MP Michael Barrett, many government departments and agencies are paying out thousands — even millions — of dollars annually in standby pay. The Government of Canada defines workers on standby as “employees who are called in by their employer to work during a specific period. The employer expects these employees to report to work if called upon to do so.” So far this year, Canada Revenue Agency paid out more than $1.9 million in standby pay, with 145 employees earning in excess of $5,000 to be on-call. The highest standby payment to a single CRA employee this year was around $20,000 — that’s compared to 2016 when a single worker earned an extra $65,000. Export Development Canada paid out around $230,000 in standby pay so far this year, down from the agency’s 2021’s nine-year high of $434,000. Recommended video The agency’s biggest payout to a single employee was in 2023, when a lone worker took home $105,000 in standby pay. Some government agencies refused to offer data, citing security or privacy concerns — including the Communications Security Establishment (CSE,) Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS,) Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. The Canadian Museum of Human Rights reported nearly $30,000 in standby pay so far this year, but used the privacy excuse to withhold further details. CBC/Radio Canada paid $685,000 in standby pay so far in 2024, with $14,300 reported as the single biggest payout to one employee. The biggest user of standby pay was the RCMP, which, so far this year, paid out $72.2 million. Last year was the RCMP’s most expensive year for standby pay, at $86.6 million. The RCMP paid 9,500 uniformed personnel more than $5,000 each in on-call pay this year, with $110,000 going to a single person. In 2017 and 2022, a single RCMP member took home in excess of $193,000 just in on-call pay. An RCMP source told the Toronto Sun that standby pay is common for the force’s uniformed members, particularly in rural detachments, and that annual standby payments in the tens of thousands of dollars aren’t uncommon. Other agencies with large on-call payouts this year include the Canadian Border Services Agency ($3.9 million), Employment and Social Development Canada ($1.3 million), the Department of National Defence ($4.5 million) and Shared Services Canada ($11.4 million). Franco Terrazzano, federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, said this is yet another example of Canada’s out-of-control bureaucracy. “Taxpayers are right to question why individual bureaucrats are taking tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in wait-by-the-phone pay in a single year,” he said. “Are we paying CRA bureaucrats to stand by the phone and wait for taxpayers’ calls to go to voicemail?” Polling over the summer suggests Canadians are in favour of putting the public service on a crash diet , with Canada’s public service ballooning by 42%, or 110,000 positions, since 2015 — while Canada’s population only grew by 14% across the same time period. Earlier this fall, The Toronto Sun reported that government employees take home hundreds of millions in overtime annually , with RCMP members alone claiming over $444 million for working extra hours. bpassifiume@postmedia.com X: @bryanpassifiume
