Yoon’s martial law decree last Tuesday, which brought special forces troops into Seoul streets, plunged South Korea into political turmoil and caused worry among its key diplomatic partners and neighbors. On Saturday, Yoon avoided an opposition-led bid to impeach him, with most governing party lawmakers boycotting a parliamentary vote. But the opposition parties vowed to submit a new impeachment motion against him this week. Bae Sang-up, a Justice Ministry official, told a parliamentary hearing that it banned Yoon from leaving the country following requests by police, prosecutors and an anti-corruption agency as they expand their probes into the circumstances surrounding Yoon’s power grab. On Monday, a senior National Police Agency officer told local reporters in a background briefing that police can also detain Yoon if conditions are met. The contents of the briefing were shared with The Associated Press. While a sitting South Korean president has immunity from prosecution while in office, that does not extend to allegations of rebellion or treason. This means that Yoon can be questioned and detained by police over his martial law decree, but many observers doubt that police will forcefully detain him or search his office because of the potential for clashes with his presidential security service. In the case of former President Park Geun-hye, who was thrown out of office in 2017 after being impeached by parliament over a corruption scandal, prosecutors failed to search her office and ended up receiving documents outside the compound because presidential officials turned them away. After refusing to meet with prosecutors while in office, Park underwent questioning by them and was arrested after the Constitutional Court approved her impeachment and ruled to dismiss her as president in March 2017. The main opposition Democratic Party called Yoon’s martial law imposition “unconstitutional, illegal rebellion or a coup.” It has filed complaints with police against at least nine people, including Yoon and his former defense minister, over the rebellion allegations. South Korean prosecutors on Sunday detained former Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun, who allegedly recommended that Yoon declare martial law. He became the first person detained in the martial law case. The Defense Ministry last week separately suspended three top military commanders over their alleged involvement in imposing martial law. They were among those facing the opposition-raised rebellion allegations. On Saturday, Yoon issued an apology over the martial law decree, saying he won’t shirk legal or political responsibility for the declaration. He said he would leave it to his party to chart a course through the country’s political turmoil, “including matters related to my term in office.” Since taking office in 2022 for a single five-year term, Yoon, a conservative, has been on a near-constant collision course with his liberal rivals who control parliament. The liberals have introduced a slew of motions seeking to impeach some of his top officials and launched a fierce political offensive against Yoon over a spate of scandals involving him and his wife. In his martial law announcement on Tuesday night, Yoon called parliament a “den of criminals” bogging down state affairs and vowed to eliminate “shameless North Korea followers and anti-state forces.” Yoon’s martial law decree lasted only six hours because the National Assembly voted it down, forcing Yoon’s Cabinet to lift it before daybreak Wednesday. Some members of Yoon’s governing People Power Party cast ballots against Yoon’s decree, but the party later decided to oppose his impeachment. Experts say Yoon’s party fears losing the presidency to liberals in a by-election if he is impeached and ousted, as they did after Park was removed from office. PPP leader Han Dong-hun said Sunday his party will push for Yoon’s early and orderly exit from office in a way that minimizes social confusion, but he didn’t say when that would happen. He also said Yoon will not be involved in state affairs, including foreign policy. Critics say Han likely wants to buy time to help his party restore public confidence. His comments on sidelining Yoon from state affairs have also sparked widespread concern and criticism that it violates the constitution. During a Monday briefing, the Defense Ministry said Yoon maintains control of the military, a power the constitution explicitly reserves for the president.

Traders working on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, in New York City, on Nov 22. NEW YORK - Wall Street closed higher on Nov 22, with all three major indexes posting weekly gains, as investors took comfort from data pointing to robust economic activity in the world’s biggest economy. A measure of business activity raced to a 31-month high in November, boosted by hopes for lower interest rates and more business-friendly policies from President-elect Donald Trump’s administration in 2025. The domestically focused small-cap Russell 2000 index outperformed large-cap indexes and rose 1.8 per cent. The index advanced 4.3 per cent for the week, closing at its highest in more than a week. Meanwhile, Alphabet fell 1.7 per cent following Nov 21’s 4 per cent drop, as the US Department of Justice argued to a judge the company was monopolising online search. AI bellwether Nvidia also slipped 3.2 per cent in choppy trading following its quarterly forecast on Nov 20. An index tracking S&P 500 value stocks rose 0.78 per cent as investors rotated out of their growth peers. “I’ve been looking for this leadership change to go from technology to everything else. I think we may be in the midst of that shift. Small caps are acting much better, values are acting better,” said Mr Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 426.16 points, or 0.97 per cent, to 44,296.51, the S&P 500 gained 20.63 points, or 0.35 per cent, to 5,969.34 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 31.23 points, or 0.16 per cent, to 19,003.65. Industrial stocks led the S&P, rising 1.36 per cent, while consumer discretionary was the biggest sectoral decliner, falling 0.69 per cent. For the week, the S&P 500 gained 1.68 per cent, the Nasdaq rose 1.73 per cent, and the Dow climbed 1.96 per cent. Expectations on the Federal Reserve’s policy move in December have recently swayed between a pause and a cut, as investors weighed the likely impact of Trump’s plans on price pressures. There is a 59.6 per cent probability the central bank will lower borrowing costs by 25 basis points, as per the CME Group’s FedWatch Tool. Geopolitics were top of mind this week as investors monitored a missile exchange between Ukraine and Russia, after Moscow lowered its threshold for a nuclear retaliation. The markets are also awaiting Trump’s Treasury Secretary pick. “The fact that we’ve been calm on a nice, steady stair step pattern higher is very encouraging and reflective of the fact that investors aren’t acting with the emotion that they could be given the amount of uncertainties we’ve faced,” Mr Hackett said. In company news, Gap jumped 12.8 per cent after the Old Navy parent raised its annual sales forecast and said the holiday season was off to a “strong start”. Intuit fell 5.7 per cent after the TurboTax parent projected second-quarter revenue and profit below Wall Street estimates on Nov 21. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 3.2-to-1 ratio on the NYSE where there were 532 new highs and 41 new lows. On the Nasdaq, 3,076 stocks rose and 1,271 fell as advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 2.42-to-1 ratio. The S&P 500 posted 83 new 52-week highs and one new low while the Nasdaq Composite recorded 179 new highs and 85 new lows. Volume on US exchanges was 13.49 billion shares, compared with the 14.65 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.

A thing of beauty may be said to be a joy forever, but it is not one hundred percent true. A thing of beauty may fade, deteriorate, decay and the beauty then begins to decline and vanish. But still, something beautiful is worth hailing while we see it or feel it. Adetshina Ms Chidimma Vanesa Adetshina is the reason for this little homily on beauty today. The 23 year-old law student has beauty and a complicated identity. Her father is a Nigerian of Enugu extraction. Her mother is a Mozambican and she was born in Soweto in South Africa. Soweto has a history that neither South Africans nor the world can afford to forget. The pretty lady who has been living in South Africa was trying to compete for the Miss Universe South Africa in the hope that if she won she would represent that country of her birth in the global Miss Universe competition. But the country that went through hell due to apartheid but which got liberated by the weight of Nigeria’s voice and resources treated her very shabbily. I think the apartheid struggle taught South Africans the wrong lesson, namely that xenophobia was and is an admirable quality. South Africa has treated Nigerians several times as if Nigeria is their enemy, not their enabler. The two countries may be competing politically and economically but that should not deprive them of their humanity or their spirit of brotherhood and adorable co-existence. As two prominent countries in the same continent they have a lot to live for. But that is a story for another day. To cut a long story short South Africa did not let Chidimma to contest in their country. Nigeria invited her to come and contest under the Nigerian flag. She came, she contested, she won. That gave her the opportunity to contest at the global level a couple of weeks ago in Mexico. She did not get the top prize. That went to a 21-year old girl from Denmark, Viktoria Kjaer Theivlig who is a multi-talented beauty, an entrepreneur, a dancer and an animal activist. Our girl Chidimma emerged as the first runner up and the winner for the Africa and Oceania Regions. This is a feat when you realize that there were contestants from 130 countries, a sharp increase from 94 beauties that competed in 2018. This is the second time that Nigeria would win a major beauty pageant. In 2001 Miss Agbani Darego won the Miss World contest. That remains a record for which Nigeria must be proud. Before then no one in Nigeria thought that it was possible for a Nigerian to win a major international beauty contest because there are actually no universally accepted criteria for beauty in the world. Most African women have big buttocks. Most white women have flat buttocks. Most African women are of medium height. Most white women are higher in height. So it can be said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, whether the beholder is white or black, tall or short, fat or slim. It is instructive that the white lady who represented South Africa in the competition Mia Le Roux suddenly withdrew from the competition based on alleged “health challenges.” Some online irritants described it as “karma at work.” So South Africa that lost the opportunity of giving Chidimma the chance to feature for them lost out completely because of its xenophobic tendencies. The craze for ethnicity and xenophobia in Africa must be something to agitate the minds of African leaders. While our leaders make grand speeches on African unity at their major conferences they are not interested in working on policies that can cement that unity among Africans. The recent very primitive treatment of Nigeria’s Super Eagles players and officials in Libya is an ugly example. And on top of the ill-treatment they had the temerity to defend it as something that was done by their government and not their football organization. And to add insult to injury they said their sovereignty must be respected. That would never happen in any of the developed countries some of whom are opening their doors to educated immigrants from other countries to gain the benefits of globalization and universal education. Despite the problem of racism in America, it has produced a Black American President Barack Obama and a non-white Vice President Kamala Harris. Britain has also produced Rishi Sunak who is not a regular British citizen. And even a Nigerian woman Kemi Badenock is now leading a major political party, the Conservative Party in the UK. When will African leaders grow up and accept the fact that the world is becoming a global village with universality of values. The Governor of Enugu State where Chidimma comes from Dr Peter Mbah has made the girl the State’s Brand Ambassador. A good decision because as Mbah said “Chidimma’s story will serve as a beacon of hope to our young people particularly young women.” For me the real beauty apart from the physical beauty of this girl is her perseverance, her tenacity and her resilience. Even as the competition was on some South Africans were writing petitions to the organisers to disqualify our girl. She kept pushing on relentlessly to her goal. She is a determined and focused person. She says to other young people through the BBC. “Don’t give up on your dreams, set those goals for yourself. It might seem too scary, but set them. Always do anything in your power to make you achieve them.” Those words indicate that the real beauty in her is from within. So she is not a peacock with external beauty only. She has complete beauty which will last forever. That complete beauty is made up of her tenacity, perseverance, grace under pressure, resilience and the knowledge that you cannot be a pretty woman without being a source of trouble to the world because every pretty person is a source of envy. And, often, it is not her fault.PTI founder not seeking relief for himself, clarifies Shibli Faraz Second part of our struggle is “peaceful protest”, says PTI senator Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders Senator Shibli Faraz (left) and Omar Ayub Khan address a joint press conference in Islamabad on December 28, 2024. — GeoNews/Screengrab PTI leader and Leader of the Opposition in Senate Shibli Faraz on Saturday categorically rejected the “false perception” that incarcerated former prime minister Imran Khan was seeking relief for himself in negotiations with the PML-N-led coalition government. Addressing a joint press confrere flanked by Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly (NA) Omar Ayub Khan and former speaker of the lower house Asad Qaiser, Faraz said: “PTI founder stands firm on its principled stance and serving jail terms for the sake of people.” googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700472799616-0'); }); The 71-year-old cricketer-turned-politician has been behind bars since August last year after he was sentenced in Toshakhana case-I — one of the dozens cases registered against the former premier since his ouster from power in April 2022. The coalition government and the embattled PTI finally came to the table earlier this week to defuse political tensions in the country. Negotiating committees, formed by the government and the PTI, conducted their much-hyped meeting in a conducive environment and resolved to continue the dialogue process. NA Speaker Ayaz Sadiq, who presided over the meeting, had said that the next session will be held on January 2 and PTI’s team would present a charter of their demands in the huddle. During the fresh interaction with journalist, Faraz accused the ruling coalition of spreading false propaganda that PTI founder was seeking relief for himself. He clarified that negations would be held on the point that “all the political prisoners” should be released. Contrary to Faraz’s claim, Qaiser on Tuesday disclosed that three key points were presented during negotiations with the government: an end to lawlessness in the country, the release of PTI’s founder Imran Khan and other political prisoners, and a judicial inquiry into the events of May 9 and November 26. Responding to a question Faraz said that the PTI is a “peaceful” political party, adding that they were struggling for their rights within the ambit of the Constitution and the law. Referring to dozens of cases against PTI leadership, he said that they were fighting a legal battle in the court despite difficulties. The PTI leader said that the second part of their struggle was a “peaceful protest”. He alleged that the incumbent government was working as per the dictation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), adding that they don’t care about the people. The international lender in September approved a $7 billion Extended Fund Facility (EFF) for Pakistan and under the deal, the government has to meet certain financial targets. Faraz said: “We reject fascist ideas and undemocratic thinking.” He said the coalition government would be responsible if the negation between the ruling alliance and PTI fails. For his part, PTI leader Omar said the incumbent government was toeing the line of IMF and treating the masses with cruelty. Expressing concerns over prevailing uncertainty in the country, he said that economic recovery and political stability were interlinked. The PTI leader also raised question over smuggling of petrol and diesel in the country.Aberdeen midfielder Leighton Clarkson issues ‘no fear’ of Celtic message – who he says could find rocking Pittodrie ‘really tough’

BOSTON (AP) — A Massachusetts judge dismissed criminal charges Monday against a backer of Karen Read who admitted placing dozens of yellow rubber ducks and fake $100 bills around town in support of Read. Richard Schiffer Jr. had argued in Stoughton District Court that he had a First Amendment right to support the defense theory that Read — accused of ramming into her boyfriend John O’Keefe with her SUV and leaving the Boston police officer to die in a snowstorm — has been framed in the polarizing murder case. Schiffer's attorney Timothy Bradl said Monday that the judge made the right call by quickly tossing the felony witness intimidation and criminal harassment charges against Schiffer. The ruling comes as another judge decided Monday to push back Read's retrial to April after a mistrial was declared in July when jurors couldn’t reach an agreement. Read was facing second-degree murder charges and two other charges. Her attorneys have argued that other law enforcement officers were responsible for O’Keefe’s death. Regarding Schiffer's charges, Bradl said, “There wasn't a leg to stand on.” “Hats off to the judge. He didn’t make everyone wait and ruled from the bench. Everything was completely protected by the First Amendment. This was political speech," Bradl said. The Norfolk District Attorney’s office declined to comment. Schiffer has said he got the ducks idea after thinking about a defense lawyer’s closing argument that Read was framed . Alan Jackson told jurors that “if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it’s a duck.” Schiffer's actions did not rise to the level of witness intimidation and criminal harassment "nor does his speech, or in this case his written word on fake currency and use of rubber toys, which are afforded the protections of the First Amendment," Judge Brian Walsh wrote. “It is the view of this Court that the defendant's conduct and speech, though a rather sophomoric expression of his opinion, is nonetheless protected speech,” he wrote. Walsh concluded the two-page ruling with quotes from Indiana poet James Whitcomb Riley, believed to have coined the “walks like a duck” phrase, and Robert McCloskey, author of the children's book “Make Way For Ducklings.” The defense alleged that O’Keefe was actually killed inside the home of his fellow Boston officer Brian Albert and then dragged outside. They argued that investigators focused on Read because she was a “convenient outsider” who saved them from having to consider law enforcement officers as suspects. Schiffer has been among the dozens of Read supporters who accuse state and local law enforcement of a widespread cover-up. Their demonstrations have led to confrontations, especially in the town of Canton where the murder happened, between those who support Read and others who believe she is guilty. Schiffer, who owns Canton Fence and has said that he knows practically everyone in town through his contracting work, was accused of placing some of the ducks outside a pizza shop run by Brian Albert’s brother, Canton Selectman Chris Albert. Other ducks appeared in O’Keefe’s neighborhood.Back in 1973, during an economic slump, some savvy investors took a leap of faith, buying the dip and seizing opportunities amidst the chaos.

Marshall’s 17 lead Albany over Puerto Rico-Mayaguez 93-50Teledyne Technologies's TDY short percent of float has risen 31.82% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 412 thousand shares sold short , which is 1.16% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.65 days to cover their short positions on average. Why Short Interest Matters Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. Short selling is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises. Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish. See Also: List of the most shorted stocks Teledyne Technologies Short Interest Graph (3 Months) As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Teledyne Technologies has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted. Comparing Teledyne Technologies's Short Interest Against Its Peers Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis. According to Benzinga Pro , Teledyne Technologies's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.63%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers. Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.

The news was announced on Monday evening by his brother Damian, three months after he was diagnosed with stage four liver cancer.

No fear of dying whatsoever. I've felt blessed my entire life. "The sadness is the people you're leaving behind. That I'll not get to see my son (James), he's training hard with Trillick, he's come back after a couple of years, that I'll not get to see him play and I'll not get to see my family grow up and mature.” Tributes poured in following the tragic news of his death, with his words touching so many people during his battle with illness. His last post on social media was a meme with the quote 'we only live once', overruled by another line stating 'wrong, we only die once. We live every day'. Down GAA posted on Facebook: "Former Down coach Jody Gormley has sadly passed after his battle with Cancer. Jody was in Paddy O'Rourke's Management team from September 2004 - June 2007, he later managed Bredagh. RIP." Patrick Kelly replied to the post on social media from Damien Gormley, saying: "Jody was a hero to all of Trillick. He always, always made us so proud.

Short Interest in Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:EOSEW) Increases By 3,260.0%Arguments about past presidents shape the nation’s understanding of itself and hence its unfolding future. In recent years, biographies by nonacademics have rescued some presidents from progressive academia’s indifference or condescension: John Adams (rescued by David McCullough), Ulysses S. Grant (by Ron Chernow), Calvin Coolidge (by Amity Shlaes). The rehabilitation of those presidents’ reputations have been acts of justice, as is Christopher Cox’s destruction of Woodrow Wilson’s place in progressivism’s pantheon. In “Woodrow Wilson: The Light Withdrawn,” Cox, former congressman and former chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, demonstrates that the 28th president was the nation’s nastiest. Without belaboring the point, Cox presents an Everest of evidence that Wilson’s progressivism smoothly melded with his authoritarianism and oceanic capacity for contempt. His books featured ostentatious initials: “Woodrow Wilson Ph.D., LL.D.” But he wrote no doctoral dissertation for his 18-month Ph.D. He dropped out of law school. His doctorate of law was honorary. But because of those initials, and because he vaulted in three years from Princeton University’s presidency to New Jersey’s governorship to the U.S. presidency, and because he authored books, he is remembered as a scholar in politics. Actually, he was an intellectual manque using academia as a springboard into politics. His books were thin gruel, often laced with scabrous racism. His first, “Congressional Government,” contained only 52 citations, but he got it counted as a doctoral dissertation. He wrote it while a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University, yet he only once visited the U.S. Capitol 37 miles away. “I have no patience for the tedious toil of ‘research,’” he said. “I hate the place,” he said of Bryn Mawr, a women’s college that provided his first faculty job. He thought teaching women was pointless. Cox ignores the well-plowed ground of Wilson’s domestic achievements — the progressive income tax, the Federal Reserve. Instead, Cox braids Wilson’s aggressive white-male supremacy and hostility toward women’s suffrage. His was a life defined by disdaining. For postgraduate education, Johns Hopkins recruited German-trained faculty steeped in that nation’s statism and belief in the racial superiority of Teutonic people. Wilson’s Johns Hopkins classmate and lifelong friend Thomas Dixon wrote the novel that became the silent movie “The Birth of a Nation.” Wilson made this celebration of the Ku Klux Klan the first movie shown in the White House. During the movie, the screen showed quotes from Wilson’s “History of the American People,” such as: “In the villages the negroes were the office holders, men who knew none of the uses of authority, except its insolences.” And: “At last there had sprung into existence a great Ku Klux Klan ... to protect the Southern country” and Southerners’ “Aryan birthright.” Wilson’s White House gala — guests in evening dress — gave “The Birth of a Nation” a presidential imprimatur. The movie, which became a national sensation, normalized the Klan and helped to revive lynching. Though the term “fascism” is more frequently bandied than defined, it fits Wilson’s amalgam of racism (he meticulously resegregated the federal workforce), statism, and wartime censorship and prosecutions. Dissent was “disloyalty” deserving “a firm hand of stern repression.” Benito Mussolini: “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.” Wilson: “I am perfectly sure that the state has got to control everything that everybody needs and uses.” Wilson created the Committee on Public Information to “mobilize the mind of America.” The committee soon had more than 150,000 employees disseminating propaganda, monitoring publications and providing them with government-written content. The committee was echoed in the Biden administration’s pressuring of social media to suppress what it considered dis- or misinformation. Cox provides a stunning chronicle of Wilson’s complacent, even gleeful, acceptance of police and mob brutality, often in front of the White House, against suffragists. And of the torture — no milder word will suffice — of the women incarcerated in stomach-turning squalor, at the mercy of sadists. “Appropriate,” Wilson said. An appropriate judgment from the man who dismissed as empty verbiage the first two paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence. Historian C. Vann Woodward, author of “The Strange Career of Jim Crow,” said white-male supremacy was the crux of Southern progressivism. Wilson’s political career demonstrated that it was not discordant with national progressivism’s belief that a superior few should control the benighted many. John Greenleaf Whittier, disillusioned by Daniel Webster’s support of the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act, wrote of Webster: “So fallen! so lost! the light withdrawn / Which once he wore!” True, too, of Wilson.
