The FAO Food Price Index, which tracks monthly changes in the international prices of a set of globally-traded food commodities, averaged 127.5 points in November, up 5.7 percent from a year ago while still 20.4 percent below its March 2022 peak. The FAO Vegetable Oil Price Index increased by 7.5 percent in November from October, marking its second large increase in two months and 32 percent higher than its year-earlier level. Global palm oil prices climbed further amid concerns about lower-than-expected output due to excessive rainfall in Southeast Asia. World soyoil prices rose on global import demand, while rapeseed and sunflower oil quotations increased as tightening global supply prospects affected their respective markets. The FAO Dairy Price Index maintained its upward trajectory in November, increasing by 0.6 percent from October, driven by rebounding global import demand for whole milk powder. Butter prices reached a new record level amid strong demand and tight inventories in Western Europe, while cheese prices rose due to limited export availabilities. The other sub-indexes posted declines in November. The FAO Cereal Price Index dropped by 2.7 percent, down 8.0 percent below a year earlier. Global wheat prices declined due to weaker international import demand and increased supplies from the ongoing harvests in the Southern Hemisphere. World maize prices remained stable as strong domestic demand in Brazil and Mexico’s demand for supplies from the United States of America were offset by favorable weather in South America, reduced demand for Ukrainian supplies and seasonal pressure from the ongoing U.S. harvest. The FAO All-Rice Price Index declined by 4.0 percent in November, driven by increased market competition, harvest pressures and currency fluctuations. The FAO Sugar Price Index declined by 2.4 percent from October, impacted by the start of the crushing season in India and Thailand and eased concerns over next year’s sugarcane crop prospects in Brazil, where recent rains have improved soil moisture. The FAO Meat Price Index decreased by 0.8 percent in November, due mainly to lower quotations for pig meat in the European Union, reflecting abundant supplies and persistently subdued global and domestic demand. World ovine and poultry meat prices fell slightly, while international bovine meat quotations remained stable, with higher Brazilian export prices offset by lower Australia prices. Updated forecasts point to declining cereal stocks-to-use ratio According to FAO’s new Cereal Supply and Demand Brief, also released on Friday, global cereal production in 2024 is forecast to decline by around 0.6 percent from the previous year to 2 841 million tonnes, a downward revision from October, yet still the second-largest output on record. Global wheat output for 2024 is expected to be on par with 2023, at 789 million tonnes, while maize output is forecast to decline by 1.9 percent from the previous year to 1 271 million tonnes, due to lower-than-expected yields in the European Union and the United States of America. FAO’s forecast for world rice production in 2024/25 has changed slightly, pointing to a 0.8 percent annual increase to a record high of 538.8 million tonnes. For 2025, softer wheat prices may discourage area expansions of the winter wheat crop underway in the northern hemisphere. Below-normal rainfall in key wheat growing regions in the Russian Federation has led to low soil moisture levels, affecting planting operations. By contrast, favourable soil moisture and government support policies, along remunerative prices, should spur expanded plantings in China and India. Coarse grain crops are being planted in the southern hemisphere. Early indications suggest a contraction in maize sowings in Argentina due to dry conditions and the risk of stunt disease transmitted by leafhoppers. In Brazil, early planting intentions, encouraged by a return of rainfall, point to the same maize area for the 2025 crop. In South Africa, preliminary expectations point to an increase in white maize sowings, driven by record prices, offsetting a contraction in the yellow maize area. World cereal utilization is forecast to grow by 0.6 percent to 2 859 million tonnes in 2024/25, led by anticipated increases in food consumption of rice and wheat. A significant revision from October now forecasts that global cereal stocks will decline by 0.7 percent from their opening levels, resulting in a global cereal stock-to-use ratio of 30.1 percent for 2024/25, down from 30.8 percent in the previous year but still indicating “a comfortable supply level” globally. International trade in cereals in 2024/25 is now forecast at 484 million tonnes, down 4.6 percent from the previous year. Global wheat and maize trade volumes are expected to decline, while rice trade is predicted to increase. The Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS), hosted at FAO, also released its monthly Market Monitor on Friday, In addition to the regular analysis, the report featured a reflection on agricultural commodity markets in 2024 and discusses uncertainties that could affect global commodity markets in 2025.

First Lady Jill Biden may have had a hand in getting the president to pardon her son Hunter Biden: “There was clearly pressure within the family,” said Jeff Zeleny, CNN’s chief national affairs correspondent. PUBLICIDAD "They really told us in the last few weeks that Dr. Jill Biden, First Lady Jill Biden, was very supportive of the president doing something like this," he added. According to Zeleny, Biden "was not sure" about granting the pardon and suggested that he may have felt pressured by his wife, the First Lady. PUBLICIDAD Jill influenced Joe Biden "Of course, I support the pardon of my son," said Jill Biden to journalists at the White House. Jill is known for being one of the most influential first ladies to have stepped foot in the White House in the last 100 years. During Biden's presidency, Jill has had the reputation of controlling certain situations to protect Joe from the press. Although she influenced her husband to pardon Hunter, Jill has a difficult relationship with her stepson. Hunter, 54, referred to his stepmother as a "b***h with entitlement" and a "vindictive idiot" in text messages found on his laptop. Hunter Biden is guilty Hunter pleaded guilty in September to nine charges related to $1.4 million in unpaid taxes, but had previously also been convicted of three federal charges related to firearms because he used firearms while addicted to illegal drugs. On December 12th, he was supposed to receive a sentence for the tax case, but his father intervened before handing over his mandate. Biden said he issued the pardon because he felt that Hunter was being "prosecuted selectively and unfairly." “I have admitted and taken responsibility for my mistakes during the darkest days of my addiction, mistakes that have been exploited to humiliate and shame me and my family publicly for political purposes,” said Hunter Biden in a statement.

Rays' Wander Franco's sex abuse trial postponed after nearly every witness fails to showHALIFAX — A veteran federal fisheries officer has been suspended for 10 days without pay for his role in arresting two Mi'kmaq elver fishers late at night and releasing them in only their stocking feet. Kevin Hartling and Blaise Sylliboy, both in their 20s, were arrested on March 26 as they fished for baby eels near Shelburne, N.S. They said three fisheries officers confiscated their phones and hip waders before leaving them at a gas station about a 45-minute drive from where they had been fishing. Hartling has said that after the two men were asked to leave the gas station, they walked in the cold without boots along a highway in southern Nova Scotia for hours before they were able to borrow a cellphone to reach a friend, who came and picked them up. After the incident became public in April, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called it “extremely troubling” and promised a complete investigation. The Canadian Press verified the penalty imposed on the veteran officer but was unable to confirm what sanctions were imposed on the two more junior fishery officers. The supervisory officer's release of the men without footwear is described in the administrative investigation as a breach of the department's code of values and ethics. It was also considered a failure to "assume responsibility for care and control" of people under arrest, as detailed in the department's standard operating procedures. The discipline imposed considered the officer had no prior disciplinary breaches and "demonstrated remorse." The time without pay began on Wednesday and was to continue until the end of Christmas Day. Hartling, who spoke to The Canadian Press on Wednesday by text message, said he finds the penalty insufficient. "It seems like a pretty light penalty in my personal opinion. He should also have to do a behavioural course, so he isn’t doing this to more people," he wrote. "I would rather have had them take me to jail or at least cut our (hip) waders so we could have had something left on our feet." However, a source who didn't want to be identified due to potential employment repercussions reported that many federal Fisheries Department enforcement officers in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick booked off on mental health leave Wednesday to protest the penalties imposed. The source said many officers believe the supervisor followed arrest procedures in taking the men to a location of their choice — a gas station — and dropping them off. It is normal procedure for DFO officers to seize hip waders and cellphones when making arrests in suspected illegal fishing, and the officers do not bring people they arrest to jail in these circumstances, the source said. The source said the officers made some efforts to retrieve Sylliboy's and Hartlings' boots before they departed the scene of the arrest. "The expectation to drive somebody home when they live eight hours away (in Cape Breton) is not a realistic expectation. How do we go and buy or purchase these guys boots late at night? What options do the officers have to try to accommodate them?" asked the source. The Union of Health and Environment Workers, which represents the officers, declined comment Wednesday on the sanctions and on the officers' protest. Federal Fisheries Minister Diane Lebouthillier also declined comment, saying the finding is a human relations matter, and a spokeswoman for the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi'kmaw Chiefs said they had no comment on an "internal DFO matter." Lebouthillier announced in July she had ordered an external review into the matter that would look at "procedures to eradicate the potential for systemic biases or racism." A spokesman said on Wednesday that the review hasn't started yet. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 11, 2024. Michael Tutton, The Canadian Press

Athlete of the week: Zionsville’s Maguire Mitchell

Are prices actually lower on Black Friday? Report indicates not everything is on saleThe NFL bye week is generally a time for teams to reconvene and figure out what they need to improve going forward. Unfortunately for the New York Jets, losers of seven of their last eight games and owners of a 3-8 record, the issues they have heading into their Week 12 bye can’t be solved in seven day’s time. Owner Woody Johnson is doing what he can to keep things positive around the facility and within the fanbase, though. On Friday, Johnson posted a picture on his social media of a mini helmet signed by Jets running back Breece Hall. He included a caption: It’s a cute little piece of merchandise that many Jets fans would surely wish to add to their collection—if things weren’t going so horribly within the organization at the moment. With all of the issues they’re currently facing, fans would rather like to see Johnson more focused on the team rather than product giveaways. This was supposed to be the year the New York Jets emerged from the doldrums of the NFL. They haven’t made the playoffs in 13 years, the longest active postseason drought in the league by a mile. The next closest is the Denver Broncos, who have waited eight years. Aaron Rodgers ‘ arrival has not heralded that new era, however. Instead, the Jets have reverted to the dysfunctional state their fans are too familiar with. Fans are not happy with Woody Johnson and the Jets right now First, Woody Johnson tried to bench Rodgers after a 2-2 start, as per the Athletic. Then, he fired head coach Robert Saleh a week later after another loss — which, looking back, was an awful move, as the team has gone 1-5 since then. And Saleh’s defense has basically fallen apart. This week, Johnson hit the trifecta, firing general manager Joe Douglas. Johnson has been adamant about the fact that he wants to turn this franchise around for real and build it from the ground up. Unfortunately, he won’t be able to do that until next offseason, when they can extricate themselves from Rodgers’ contract and start fresh with a new head coach, new general manager, and new QB. Until then, fans will have to be satisfied with a less-than-mediocre Jets squad—and maybe a few autographed relics. Safe to say, that has not been satisfactory for a fanbase that had such high hopes in September. Johnson bought the Jets in 2000, and while they enjoyed a period of relative success in the mid-to-late-2000s, it’s largely been a disappointing run since then. They’ve had eight head coaches over that span, averaging about one coach every three years, and now eight general managers as well. That level of turnover is not the sign of a well-run organization. The results on the field have been even worse. Since 2000, when Johnson and his brother, Christopher, bought the Jets for $635 million, they have won 171 games, which ranks 25th out of 32 teams over that span. They also scored just 7,669 points during that time, ranking 30th. Not only do the Jets consistently lose, but they don’t even provide a fun offensive display while doing so. Johnson will hope to change all of that starting in 2025.WASHINGTON — Donald Trump’s vision for education revolves around a single goal: to rid America’s schools of perceived “wokeness” and “left-wing indoctrination.” The president-elect wants to forbid classroom lessons on gender identity and structural racism. He wants to abolish diversity and inclusion offices. He wants to keep transgender athletes out of girls’ sports. Throughout his campaign, the Republican depicted schools as a political battleground to be won back from the left. Now that he’s won the White House, he plans to use federal money as leverage to advance his vision of education across the nation. Trump’s education plan pledges to cut funding for schools that defy him on a multitude of issues. On his first day in office, Trump has repeatedly said he will cut money to “any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content on our children.” On the campaign trail, Trump said he would “not give one penny” to schools with vaccine or mask requirements. He said it would be done through executive action, though even some of his supporters say he lacks the authority to make such swift and sweeping changes. Get local news delivered to your inbox!
