Already a commercial success, can F1's Vegas GP deliver more?President-elect Donald Trump has once again suggested he wants to revert the name of North America’s tallest mountain — Alaska’s Denali — to Mount McKinley, wading into a sensitive and about what the peak should be called. Former President Barack Obama changed the official name to Denali in 2015 to reflect the as well as the preference of many Alaska residents. The federal government in recent years has endeavored considered disrespectful to Native people. “Denali” is an Athabascan word meaning “the high one” or “the great one.” A prospector in 1896 dubbed the peak “Mount McKinley” after President William McKinley, who had never been to Alaska. That name was formally recognized by the U.S. government until Obama changed it over opposition from lawmakers in McKinley’s home state of Ohio. Trump suggested in 2016 that he might undo Obama’s action, but he dropped that notion after Alaska’s senators objected. He raised it again during a rally in Phoenix on Sunday. “McKinley was a very good, maybe a great president,” Trump said Sunday. “They took his name off Mount McKinley, right? That’s what they do to people.” Once again, Trump’s suggestion drew quick opposition within Alaska. “Uh. Nope. It’s Denali,” Democratic state Sen. Scott Kawasaki posted on the social platform X Sunday night. , who for years pushed for legislation to change the name to Denali, conveyed a similar sentiment in a post of her own. “There is only one name worthy of North America’s tallest mountain: Denali — the Great One,” Murkowski wrote on X. Various tribes of Athabascan people have lived in the shadow of the 20,310-foot (6,190-meter) mountain for thousands of years. McKinley, a Republican native of Ohio who served as the 25th president, was assassinated early in his second term in 1901 in Buffalo, New York. Alaska and Ohio have been at odds over the name since at least the 1970s. Alaska had a standing request to change the name since 1975, when the legislature passed a resolution and then-Gov. Jay Hammond appealed to the federal government. Known for its majestic views, the mountain is dotted with glaciers and covered at the top with snow year-round, with powerful winds that make it difficult for the adventurous few who seek to climb it.

Dartmouth Health to expand access for behavioral health trainingLONDON (AP) — A woman who claimed mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor “brutally raped and battered” her in a Dublin hotel penthouse was awarded nearly 250,000 Euros (US$257,000) on Friday by a civil court jury in Ireland. Nikita Hand said the December 9, 2018, assault after a night of partying left her heavily bruised and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. McGregor testified that he never forced the woman to do anything against her will and said she fabricated the allegations after the two had consensual sex. His lawyer had called Hand a gold digger. The fighter, once the face of the Ultimate Fighting Championship but now past his prime, shook his head as the jury of eight women and four men found him liable for assault after deliberating about six hours in the High Court in Dublin. He was mobbed by cameras as he left court but did not comment. He later said on the social platform X that he would appeal the verdict and the “modest award.” Hand's voice cracked and her hands trembled as she read a statement outside the courthouse, saying she would never forget what happened to her but would now be able to move on with her life. She thanked her family, partner, friends, jurors, the judge and all the supporters that had reached out to her online, but particularly her daughter. “She has given me so much strength and courage over the last six years throughout this nightmare to keep on pushing forward for justice,” she said. “I want to show (her) and every other girl and boy that you can stand up for yourself if something happens to you, no matter who the person is, and justice will be served.” The Associated Press generally does not name alleged victims of sexual violence unless they come forward publicly, as Hand has done. Under Irish law, she did not have the anonymity she would have been granted in a criminal proceeding and was named publicly throughout the trial. Her lawyer told jurors that McGregor was angry about a fight he had lost in Las Vegas two months earlier and took it out on his client. “He's not a man, he's a coward,” attorney John Gordon said in his closing speech. “A devious coward and you should treat him for what he is.” Gordon said his client never pretended to be a saint and was only looking to have fun when she sent McGregor a message through Instagram after attending a Christmas party. He said Hand knew McGregor socially and that they had grown up in the same area. She said he picked her and a friend up in a car and shared cocaine with them, which McGregor admitted in court, on the way to the Beacon Hotel. Hand said she told McGregor she didn't want to have sex with him and that she was menstruating. She said she told him “no” as he started kissing her but he eventually pinned her to a bed and she couldn't move. McGregor put her in a chokehold and later told her, “now you know how I felt in the octagon where I tapped out three times,” referring to a UFC match when he had to admit defeat, she said. Hand had to take several breaks in emotional testimony over three days. She said McGregor threatened to kill her during the encounter and she feared she would never see her young daughter again. Eventually, he let go of her. “I remember saying I was sorry, as I felt that I did something wrong and I wanted to reassure him that I wouldn't tell anyone so he wouldn't hurt me again,” she testified. She said she then let him do what he wanted and he had sex with her. A paramedic who examined Hand the next day testified that she had never before seen someone with that intensity of bruising. A doctor told jurors Hand had multiple injuries. Hand said the trauma of the attack had left her unable to work as a hairdresser, she fell behind on her mortgage and had to move out of her house. Police investigated the woman's complaint but prosecutors declined to bring charges, saying there was insufficient evidence and a conviction was unlikely. McGregor, in his post on X, said he was disappointed jurors didn't see all the evidence prosecutors had reviewed.

NYT Strands today — hints, spangram and answers for game #266 (Sunday, November 24 2024) - Tom's GuideNone
Americans support increasing government efficiencyVladimir Putin has "boxed himself in" with his nuclear threats, according to a defense analyst. This comments come after the Russian President announced that Russia had deployed an experimental hypersonic ballistic missile in Ukraine . Dr Paul van Hooft of Rand Europe suggests that Putin's choice to use a weapon other than an ICBM - as Ukraine initially claimed - indicates a degree of "bluffing." He also noted that this is not a viable long-term strategy. Terrifying nuclear map shows areas where 75% would die if WW3 broke out Stephen Hawking's end-of-world prediction supported by NASA Putin stated that Russia 's Oreshnik missile targeted a military facility in Dnipro in eastern Ukraine , framing it as a response to Ukraine 's use of NATO-supplied long-range missiles, such as the British-supplied Storm Shadows. Putin highlighted the missile's advanced capabilities, precision, and speed, asserting that this action showcased Russia 's ability to counter Western military technology. However, Dr van Hooft questioned whether it truly makes a significant strategic difference, telling Daily Express: "Hypersonics were fairly hyped four years ago, but they are not particularly more or less dangerous than a ballistic missile. "They're actually slower than a ballistic missile in its terminal phase, but somewhat more maneuverable, though a Manoeuvrable reentry vehicle (MARV) would have some of those advantages as well." Evaluating Putin's goals, Dr van Hooft added: "It is a signal foremost. However, Putin has been trapping himself since the invasion by constantly raising the nuclear spectre. "One cannot bluff forever, as the threats lose their value. This seems to me - but I cannot read minds – as an escalation calculated to not irrevocably lead to nuclear use. "But the war continues, and it is becoming trickier to know how to signal." Dr van Hooft suggested that Putin was "running out of ways to sound menacing." The West reacted with alarm to the missile test, seeing it as a provocation and an escalation of the conflict. The US condemned the use of experimental weapons in a war zone, while NATO expressed concerns about the security implications of hypersonic missile technology. Analysts in the West highlighted that the test was a signal to deter further Western military aid to Ukraine . The deployment of the Oreshnik also renewed fears about the erosion of global arms control norms. Experts noted that hypersonic weapons are particularly destabilising due to their speed and maneuverability, making them difficult to intercept and raising the risk of miscalculations during conflicts. Russia 's announcement appears intended to project strength amid mounting pressures in Ukraine , but it has also deepened tensions with the West, potentially fueling further militarization and complicating prospects for diplomatic resolution.
