PHOENIX — If you're hitting the road ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, there is good news from Arizona Department of Transportation. RELATED: TSA expects another record-setting Thanksgiving weekend There are no planned freeway closures for the weekend of Nov. 22-25. There will be some restrictions that may cause slower traffic overnight. Southbound State Route 51 will be narrowed to one lane (left lanes closed) overnight in areas between Bell Road and Shea Boulevard from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. Sunday through Tuesday nights (Nov. 24-26) for pavement maintenance. Drivers should allow extra travel time and use caution when approaching and traveling through all work zones. North- and southbound Loop 101 (Agua Fria Freeway) will be narrowed to three lanes at times overnight in areas between McDowell and Thunderbird roads in the West Valley from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday through Tuesday nights (Nov. 24-26) for lane marking. Drivers should expect slow traffic at times. Please use caution and be prepared to slow down and merge safely when approaching law enforcement and work vehicles. A record 71.7 million people will travel by car over Thanksgiving, according to AAA. That’s 1.3 million more travelers on the road compared to last year. For those planning to fly for the holiday you might want to plan on getting to the airport early. TSA said Tuesday it projects it'll screen 18.3 million people in U.S. airports between Tuesday, Nov. 26, to Monday, Dec. 2, which would be a 6% jump from this time last year . TSA also projects Sunday, Dec. 1, could break its all-time record of screening more than 3 million people at security checkpoints nationwide. That record was set earlier this year on Sunday, July 7, though the agency has screened more than 2.9 million passengers on multiple occasions in 2024. Officials with Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport encourage people to plan ahead if they are flying out for the holiday. Reserve your parking before your trip at skyharbor.com/parking . Even with a reservation, give yourself time to navigate the busy lots. Double-check what’s in your bags. Make sure to look through your luggage and review the TSA Prohibited Items List before your flight. TSA has an exhaustive list of holiday-related food items that can be brought aboard a plane, including tamales (yes), alcoholic beverages more than 140 proof (no), gravy (yes, if less than or equal to 3.4 ounces/100 ml), cast iron cookware (checked bags only) and live lobsters (check with your airline.) See more at the TSA "What Can I Bring?" page for more. Remember to check your flight status with your airline before coming to the airport for your flight or to pick up or drop off a loved one. If you are flying domestically, arrive at least two hours prior to your flight departure and three hours if you are traveling internationally. Passengers can reserve a time to go through the TSA Security Checkpoint by using the PHX RESERVE program. You can schedule your time prior to arriving at the airport on our website . Reservations can be made up to six days in advance.

NoneHydraulic Oscillator Market 2024: A Decade of Phenomenal Growth Ahead

PTA can but won't block VPNs, says telecom regulator chiefWASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a red-state constitutional challenge to California's special authority to fight air pollution. Over a dissent by Justice Clarence Thomas, the justices turned away an appeal from Ohio and 16 other conservative states, which asked the court to rule "the Golden State is not a golden child." While Monday's brief order closes the door on a constitutional challenge to California's anti-pollution standards, the court on Friday cleared the way for a different, more targeted legal challenge. The oil and gas industry is suing over the state's "zero emissions" goals for new vehicles, arguing California's special authority to fight air pollution does not extend to greenhouse gases and global warming. A lower court had dismissed that suit on the grounds the oil producers had no standing to sue. Their complaint was they would sell less fuel in the future. On Friday, the justices agreed to reconsider that ruling early next year. They could clear the way for the suit to proceed. Monday's related order narrows the legal grounds that the industry can use to challenge California's rule, assuming it eventually wins standing. The incoming Trump administration is likely to intervene on the side of the challengers. California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta and U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar had urged the court to turn down both appeals. They said California's strict emissions standards are designed to fight smog and other air pollution as well as greenhouse gases. They argued that Congress had ample authority under the Constitution to set special rules for problems in different states. Since early in American history, they said Congress approved special customs duties for some states or rules involving tribes relations. In challenging California's authority, Ohio's Atty. Gen. David Yost pointed to the court's 2013 decision that struck down part of the Voting Rights Act on the grounds it violated the principle of equal state sovereignty. When Congress adopted national air pollution standards in 1967, it said California could go further because it was already enforcing strict standards to combat the state's worst-in-the-nation problem with smog. Ohio and red states say this special authority violates "core constitutional principles because no state is more equal than the others. And Congress does not have the general power to elevate one state above the others....Yet in the Clean Air Act, Congress elevated California above all the other states by giving to the Golden State alone the power to pass certain environmental laws." Without commenting, the justices said they would not hear the constitutional claim. The Environmental Defense Fund hailed the court's announcement. "California's clean car standards have successfully helped reduce the dangerous soot, smog, and climate pollution that put all people at risk, while also turbocharging clean technologies and job creation," said Alice Henderson, lead counsel for its clean-air policy group. ©2024 Los Angeles Times.

Namibia elects Nandi-Ndaitwah as first woman presidentIn football there are comings and there are goings, but rarely both at the same time. Might this have been one of those moments? Will Ruud van Nistelrooy ’s first match in charge of Leicester prove to have been Julen Lopetegui ’s last in charge of West Ham ? Quite what Tuesday night’s bitterly disappointing 3-1 defeat at a bitterly cold King Power Stadium means for Lopetegui's future will become clear in the coming days, but it can’t be good. Here was the start of a supposedly presentable run of fixtures leading into Christmas, a potential lifeline that could lift the Basque boss free from the pressure he is under. Instead, time now moves more quickly. Will those games still be his to take charge of after this? The West Ham board have plenty to ponder before Wolves come to town on Monday, and very little of it is positive in tone. After Bobby De Cordova-Reid scored to make it 3-0 (a goal later disallowed for offside), the chants of “you’re getting sacked in the morning” rang out around the ground loud and clear, directed at a man whose body language all night was nervy and negative. Another question: can a team rain down a record number of shots on their opponents’ goal and still not have played well? Yes. Having tested the patience of their fanbase all season, Lopetegui’s side are testing the realms of possibility now too. The 20 shots they registered in the first half was a Premier League record for the Hammers, and yet the only clinical strike was one of Leicester’s measly three — scored by Jamie Vardy inside two minutes and setting West Ham on the way to a damaging defeat. Lopetegui made a raft of changes for this game, dropping Emerson for Vladimir Coufal — who played backwards constantly — and moving Aaron Wan-Bissaka onto the left, where he was significantly less effective. Danny Ings started in favour of Michail Antonio but only lasted 45 minutes. West Ham’s utterly torrid centre-back pairing of Dinos Mavropanos and Max Kilman never learned from the lesson Vardy gave them after a mere 98 seconds, when he took advantage of their lax high line to run in behind and score. The Hammers’ passing in the final third was often just too intricate, and Leicester tore away at real pace. The centre-backs were exposed, and then disposed of, first by Vardy, then by Bilal El Khannouss, and finally by substitute Patson Daka. That Niclas Fullkrug came on in the 79th minute and scored his first goal for West Ham, following three months out injured, was the tiniest of silver linings. He then missed a golden chance for a second deep into injury time. But this was a grim night for West Ham. It could prove to be terminal for their manager.

Thailand has long been celebrated for its vibrant traditions and unique cultural identity. Yet, in Tomorrow And I, Netflix's ambitious new anthology series debuting today, viewers are invited to imagine a radically transformed Thailand -- one where advanced technologies disrupt deeply entrenched values, sparking tension, reflection and debate. Directed by the acclaimed Paween Purijitpanya, the four-episode series marries science fiction with Thai cultural identity, creating a blend that's as thought-provoking as it is visually stunning. The series explores groundbreaking yet plausible scientific concepts -- cloning, AI and genetic modification -- juxtaposed against the moral and ethical frameworks of Thai society. Each 70 minute episode tells a self-contained story, from resurrecting loved ones via cloning to a world plagued by a tentacle-inducing pandemic. These narratives intertwine futuristic speculation with deeply personal struggles, reflecting the director's vision for a unique Thai take on the sci-fi genre. "We don't see sci-fi very often in Thailand," explained director Paween. "I think it's worth exploring what Thailand will look like in the future. What would it be like when technology is more advanced yet Thai people's ideas and beliefs remain the same?" This tension between technological advancement and cultural constancy forms the series' core, offering a distinctive lens on how modernity reshapes identity and morality. The anthology opens with Black Sheep, a poignant tale of grief and scientific ambition. After his astronaut wife Noon (Waruntorn Paonil) dies in a shuttle explosion, Nont (Pakorn Chatborrirak) turns to cloning in a desperate bid to bring her back. Collaborating with Noon's friend and fellow scientist Vee (Treechada Hongsyok), Nont explores cloning technology typically reserved for pets, with emotionally charged results. From left, Ray Macdonald, Aelm Thavornsiri and Pongsatorn Jongwilas in Tomorrow And I. Courtesy of Netflix "Nont's pain mirrors a universal human longing -- to rewrite loss," said Paween. "But what happens when that desire clashes with nature's laws?" This dilemma is compounded by societal resistance to cloning, highlighting the broader tension between scientific progress and cultural conservatism. Next comes Paradistopia, set in a futuristic Gamalore transformed into a hub of robotic adult entertainment. Violette Wautier's Jessica spearheads this controversial innovation, developing hyper-realistic sex robots based on data from human counterparts. In Jessica's world, technology offers new possibilities but also raises profound questions about the commodification of intimacy. Her hypersexual boyfriend Witt (Timethai), serves as the project's guinea pig, further complicating her personal ethics. "Jessica's story is provocative because it forces us to question what happens when morality collides with progress," said Paween. "It's not just about technology -- it's about the people using it." The episode's gritty exploration of moral compromise invites viewers to confront their own biases about technological innovation and its societal implications. In Buddha Data, a monk (Ray Macdonald) confronts an AI revolutionising religion with algorithmically updated teachings. The AI, called Ultra, promises immediate karmic rewards, challenging traditional Buddhist concepts of patience and faith. Ultra is the brainchild of Neo (Aelm Thavornsiri), a charismatic tech entrepreneur whose vision of a more immediate and accessible faith gains widespread appeal. The episode depicts a society struggling to reconcile timeless spiritual practices with the promise of modern technology. Courtesy of Netflix "This episode explores something I deeply care about -- how religion is adapting in a world dominated by technology," shared the filmmaker. Monk Anek's journey, assisted by his former colleague Atom (Pongsatorn Jongwilas), reflects a broader struggle to preserve cultural identity in the face of rapid change. The series culminates in Octopus Girl, set in a waterlogged 2051. Amid perpetual rainfall and a vaccine side effect, a young girl named Kalapangha (Wanichaya Pornpanarittichai) navigates survival and acceptance in her struggling community. Kalapangha, a gifted singer, lives in the Neo Klong Toey slum, where the vaccine AquaVac -- a last-ditch response to a global pandemic -- has unforeseen and grotesque effects. "It's the most visually surreal episode," the director said. "Yet, it reflects the very real consequences of global warming and how marginalised communities bear the brunt of these crises." This visually arresting story blends dystopian sci-fi with an intimate tale of friendship and resilience, painting a haunting picture of a world pushed to its limits. The scientific rigour behind Tomorrow And I elevates its narratives from speculative fiction to chilling plausibility. Treechada Hongsyok and Pakorn Chatborrirak. Courtesy of Netflix "Every scientific hypothesis in the story is something that we have already researched," Paween said. Collaborating with experts like Dr Bank Ngamarunchot, a science and technology policy researcher, and Prof Dr Thara Suwanitchayaporn, a Thai doctor studying in California, the team ensured that each scenario was anchored in credible possibilities. These real-world foundations lend an air of inevitability to the series, making its futuristic visions feel eerily close to home. "For example," Paween noted, "the cloning technology in Black Sheep or the AI in Buddha Data are based on current advancements, but we've taken them a few steps further". This commitment to authenticity amplifies the emotional resonance of each story. By rooting its speculative elements in real science, the series challenges viewers to consider not only what is possible but also what is likely in our own lifetimes. Making Tomorrow And I was a feat of both creative ambition and logistical complexity. "It's like making four movies at the same time," Paween explained. With each episode having its own cast, tone, and visual style, the project required immense coordination over its two-year production timeline. Developing the script alone took a full year, followed by another year of filming -- a testament to the meticulous care invested in every detail. Pakorn Chatborrirak as Nont. Courtesy of Netflix Though gruelling, the process allowed Paween to realise his vision on an unprecedented scale. "It is possible to develop imagination into real images," he said. "It is a place where we can challenge the viewer and challenge the creator at the same time." Netflix's support was instrumental, providing the resources to push boundaries and bring a uniquely Thai sci-fi series to global audiences. Despite the ambitious scope of its narratives, Tomorrow And I is deeply personal for its creator. "Each story came from within myself, my inner pain," Paween revealed. "The pain from looking at a society that I can't do anything about." Whether confronting corruption in religious institutions, global warming's devastating impact, or society's resistance to progress, the episodes reflect the director's frustrations with modern issues that feel overwhelming and insurmountable. This personal connection imbues the series with a raw emotional power. "We feel pain from the misbehaving monkhood. We feel pain from prostitution. We feel pain from global warming. We feel pain from not accepting differences," Paween pointed out. By channelling these societal critiques into compelling stories, Tomorrow And I transcends its sci-fi trappings to offer a deeply human perspective on pressing global challenges. For Paween, these stories are as much about sparking dialogue as they are about entertaining audiences. Ray Macdonald as Monk Anek in Tomorrow And I. Courtesy of Netflix "I want people to enjoy the story we present, but I also hope it sparks discussion -- on Facebook, Twitter or any platform," he said. By blending thrilling narratives with ethical quandaries, the series invites viewers to reflect on the rapidly evolving relationship between humanity, technology and tradition. As Tomorrow And I prepares for its Netflix debut, it promises to be a turning point in Thai television. Its provocative premise coupled with a commitment to authentic storytelling sets it apart as a bold experiment in global sci-fi storytelling. By addressing universal themes of loss, morality, faith and survival through a uniquely Thai lens, the anthology captures the imagination while prompting reflection on the future we are collectively building. With its blend of cultural specificity and universal resonance, Tomorrow And I offers a glimpse into a future both tantalising and terrifying. More than just a series, it's a call to engage with the ethical dilemmas of our time before tomorrow becomes today. For director Paween, the hope is simple: "That people will watch, discuss and think about what kind of world we want to live in."

Jimmy Carter, the earnest Georgia peanut farmer who as US president struggled with a bad economy and the Iran hostage crisis but brokered peace between Israel and Egypt and later received the Nobel Peace Prize for his humanitarian work, died at his home in Plains, Georgia, on Sunday. He was 100. US President Joe Biden directed that January 9 will be a national day of mourning throughout the US for Carter, the White House said in a statement. “I call on the American people to assemble on that day in their respective places of worship, there to pay homage to the memory of President James Earl Carter,” Biden said. Carter, a Democrat, became president in January 1977 after defeating incumbent Republican President Gerald Ford in the 1976 election. His one-term presidency was marked by the highs of the 1978 Camp David accords between Israel and Egypt, bringing some stability to the Middle East. But it was also dogged by an economic recession, persistent unpopularity and the Iran hostage crisis that consumed his final 444 days in office. Carter ran for re-election in 1980 but was swept from office in a landslide as voters embraced Republican challenger Ronald Reagan, the former actor and California governor. Carter lived longer than any US president and, after leaving the White House, earned a reputation as a committed humanitarian. He was widely seen as a better former president than he was a president — a status he readily acknowledged. World leaders and former US presidents paid tribute to a man they praised as compassionate, humble and committed to peace in the Middle East. “His significant role in achieving the peace agreement between Egypt and Israel will remain etched in the annals of history,” said Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in a post on X. The Carter Center said there will be public observances in Atlanta and Washington. These events will be followed by a private interment in Plains, it said. Final arrangements for the former president's state funeral are still pending, according to the centre. In recent years, Carter had experienced several health issues including melanoma that spread to his liver and brain. Carter decided to receive hospice care in February 2023 instead of undergoing additional medical intervention. His wife, Rosalynn Carter, died on Nov. 19, 2023, at age 96. He looked frail when he attended her memorial service and funeral in a wheelchair. Carter left office profoundly unpopular but worked energetically for decades on humanitarian causes. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 in recognition of his “untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development.” Carter had been a centrist as governor of Georgia with populist tendencies when he moved into the White House as the 39th US president. He was a Washington outsider at a time when America was still reeling from the Watergate scandal that led Republican Richard Nixon to resign as president in 1974 and elevated Ford from vice-president. “I'm Jimmy Carter and I'm running for president. I will never lie to you,” Carter promised with an ear-to-ear smile. Asked to assess his presidency, Carter said in a 1991 documentary: “The biggest failure we had was a political failure. I never was able to convince the American people that I was a forceful and strong leader.” Despite his difficulties in office, Carter had few rivals for accomplishments as a former president. He gained global acclaim as a tireless human rights advocate, a voice for the disenfranchised and a leader in the fight against hunger and poverty, winning the respect that eluded him in the White House. Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his efforts to promote human rights and resolve conflicts around the world, from Ethiopia and Eritrea to Bosnia and Haiti. His Carter Center in Atlanta sent international election-monitoring delegations to polls around the world. A Southern Baptist Sunday school teacher since his teens, Carter brought a strong sense of morality to the presidency, speaking openly about his religious faith. He also sought to take some pomp out of an increasingly imperial presidency — walking, rather than riding in a limousine, in his 1977 inauguration parade. The Middle East was the focus of Carter's foreign policy. The 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty, based on the 1978 Camp David accords, ended a state of war between the two neighbours. Carter brought Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin to the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland for talks. Later, as the accords seemed to be unravelling, Carter saved the day by flying to Cairo and Jerusalem for personal shuttle diplomacy. The treaty provided for Israeli withdrawal from Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and establishment of diplomatic relations. Begin and Sadat each won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1978. By the 1980 election, the overriding issues were double-digit inflation, interest rates that exceeded 20% and soaring gas prices, as well as the Iran hostage crisis that brought humiliation to America. These issues marred Carter's presidency and undermined his chances of winning a second term. Former President Jimmy Carter, a champion of international human rights during and after his presidency, has died. He was 100. HOSTAGE CRISIS On Nov. 4, 1979, revolutionaries devoted to Iran's Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini had stormed the US Embassy in Tehran, seized the Americans present and demanded the return of the ousted shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who was backed by the US and was being treated in a US hospital. The American public initially rallied behind Carter. But his support faded in April 1980 when a commando raid failed to rescue the hostages, with eight US soldiers killed in an aircraft accident in the Iranian desert. Carter's final ignominy was that Iran held the 52 hostages until minutes after Reagan took his oath of office on Jan. 20, 1981, to replace Carter, then released the planes carrying them to freedom. In another crisis, Carter protested the former Soviet Union's 1979 invasion of Afghanistan by boycotting the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. He also asked the US Senate to defer consideration of a major nuclear arms accord with Moscow. Unswayed, the Soviets remained in Afghanistan for a decade. Carter won narrow Senate approval in 1978 of a treaty to transfer the Panama Canal to the control of Panama despite critics who argued the waterway was vital to American security. He also completed negotiations on full US ties with China. Carter created two new US Cabinet departments — education and energy. Amid high gas prices, he said America's “energy crisis” was “the moral equivalent of war” and urged the country to embrace conservation. “Ours is the most wasteful nation on earth,” he told Americans in 1977. In 1979, Carter delivered what became known as his “malaise” speech to the nation, although he never used that word. “After listening to the American people I have been reminded again that all the legislation in the world can't fix what's wrong with America,” he said in his televised address. “The threat is nearly invisible in ordinary ways. It is a crisis of confidence. It is a crisis that strikes at the very heart and soul and spirit of our national will. The erosion of our confidence in the future is threatening to destroy the social and the political fabric of America.” As president, the strait-laced Carter was embarrassed by the behaviour of his hard-drinking younger brother, Billy Carter, who had boasted: “I got a red neck, white socks, and Blue Ribbon beer.” 'THERE YOU GO AGAIN' Jimmy Carter withstood a challenge from Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy for the 1980 Democratic presidential nomination but was politically diminished heading into his general election battle against a vigorous Republican adversary. Reagan, the conservative who projected an image of strength, kept Carter off balance during their debates before the November 1980 election. Reagan dismissively told Carter, “There you go again,” when the Republican challenger felt the president had misrepresented Reagan's views during one debate. Carter lost the 1980 election to Reagan, who won 44 of the 50 states and amassed an Electoral College landslide. James Earl Carter Jr. was born on Oct. 1, 1924, in Plains, Georgia, one of four children of a farmer and shopkeeper. He graduated from the US Naval Academy in 1946, served in the nuclear submarine program and left to manage the family peanut farming business. He married his wife, Rosalynn, in 1946, a union he called “the most important thing in my life.” They had three sons and a daughter. Carter became a millionaire, a Georgia state legislator and Georgia's governor from 1971 to 1975. He mounted an underdog bid for the 1976 Democratic presidential nomination, and out-hustled his rivals for the right to face Ford in the general election. With Walter Mondale as his vice presidential running mate, Carter was given a boost by a major Ford gaffe during one of their debates. Ford said that “there is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe and there never will be under a Ford administration,” despite decades of just such domination. Carter edged Ford in the election, even though Ford actually won more states — 27 to Carter's 23. Not all of Carter's post-presidential work was appreciated. Former President George W. Bush and his father, former President George H.W. Bush, both Republicans, were said to have been displeased by Carter's freelance diplomacy in Iraq and elsewhere. In 2004, Carter called the Iraq war launched in 2003 by the younger Bush one of the most “gross and damaging mistakes our nation ever made.” He called George W. Bush's administration “the worst in history” and said Vice-President Dick Cheney was “a disaster for our country.” In 2019, Carter questioned Republican Donald Trump's legitimacy as president, saying “he was put into office because the Russians interfered on his behalf.” Trump responded by calling Carter “a terrible president.” Carter also made trips to communist North Korea. A 1994 visit defused a nuclear crisis, as President Kim Il Sung agreed to freeze his nuclear program in exchange for resumed dialogue with the US. That led to a deal in which North Korea, in return for aid, promised not to restart its nuclear reactor or reprocess the plant's spent fuel. But Carter irked Democratic President Bill Clinton's administration by announcing the deal with North Korea's leader without first checking with Washington. In 2010, Carter won the release of an American sentenced to eight years hard labor for illegally entering North Korea. Carter wrote more than two dozen books, ranging from a presidential memoir to a children's book and poetry, as well as works about religious faith and diplomacy. His book “Faith: A Journey for All,” was published in 2018. Reuters Would you like to comment on this article? Register (it's quick and free) or sign in now.
