DEAR DEIDRE: EVERY time I hug my partner he takes it as an opportunity to grope my boobs or shove a hand up my skirt. I’ve told him I don’t like it – sometimes, he squeezes my breasts so hard that it hurts – but he doesn’t listen. He’s 54, I’m 49 and we’ve been together for five years. He also wants me to talk dirty to him during sex, making me say things I find really disturbing. The sex is very impersonal, and I often feel I’m only there for his pleasure. As soon as it’s over, he ignores me. I think the problem started when he was out of work for a few months and got into the habit of watching online porn and cam girls every day. I kept asking him to stop but he said it was no worse than looking at social media. He tells me that he’s stopped now, but I don’t know if that’s true. Unless he‘s groping me, he ignores me. He blocks out everything I say like it’s white noise. I just get on with doing the housework. I left an abusive marriage ten years ago and I don’t have the strength to end another relationship. I love days when he goes to work because I feel less lonely when he’s not here. MORE FROM DEAR DEIDRE DEIDRE SAYS: Nobody is allowed to grope you without your permission. Even though you’re in a relationship, non-consensual touching would still be classified as sexual assault. You might be right that porn has changed how he thinks about sex, as it can create a warped idea of what’s normal. Your first step is to talk to him one last time, and make sure you agree when it is – and isn’t – OK for him to touch you. If he refuses to listen, or won’t acknowledge that he’s overstepped the mark and it shows your feelings don’t matter to him. A lot of his behaviour is abusive, and if things don’t change, you would undoubtedly be happier without him. Having walked away from one abusive man before, it really is understandable that you would need help to go through the upheaval. Please do read my support pack on Abusive Partners.

Daniel Schmidt, who owns HobbyTown, 4107 Pioneer Woods Drive, said the toy and game store nearly doubled its sales on Black Friday from last year. He also reported shoppers had been buying gifts earlier. Dahlia Brandon of Lincoln tickles her 15-month-old daughter, Gema, with a stuffed animal while shopping at HobbyTown on Saturday. The toy and game store nearly doubled its sales on Black Friday from last year. “The reason folks are coming in and shopping at the volume that they're shopping at is that compressed shopping schedule,” Schmidt said. “There are less days, and it feels like there's less time to do things.” Ron Romero, owner Schafer's, also reported strong Black Friday sales at the appliance and electronics store, mirroring nationwide projections from the National Retail Federation . The group predicted a record 183.4 million people would shop in-person and online between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday. People are also reading... Romero echoed Schmidt's sentiment on the pressure shoppers felt. “If anything, it's just going to increase the urgency to not procrastinate,” he added. A later Thanksgiving shortened what is typically considered the official shopping season. Last year, Thanksgiving was on Nov. 23, which left 31 days for shoppers to find that perfect gift. This year, shoppers had just 26 days beginning on Black Friday to buy gifts before Christmas. The National Retail Federation doesn't believe the shortened timeline will hurt retailers. Its consumer study predicts $902 will be spent on average per person on gifts, food, decorations and other seasonal items this winter. “Despite the shorter window of time between Thanksgiving and Christmas, retailers are prepared to meet the needs of consumers by providing holiday shoppers with earlier deals and sales and by ensuring inventory is available for the most in-demand items this year," said Katherine Cullen, the group's vice president of industry and consumer insights, in a press release . Schmidt said he prepared for the holiday rush at his store by stocking up on products earlier than normal to avoid ongoing supply chain issues. “I can’t necessarily rely on taking a refill during the season,” he said. Shoppers, too, are feeling the crunch. Cindy Jacobson started her holiday shopping Saturday at HobbyTown, looking at "Gundam" figures for her nephew Shawn Phillips. Jacobson hopes planning ahead keeps her on track. “I'm not one to wait to the last minute, so we're getting a jump on it,” she said. Phillips urged Jacobson to purchase the anime figures from “Gundam” on Saturday instead of waiting since he was worried HobbyTown might sell out. “I'm trying to warn her, don't hold back if you see it,” he said. Emily Bals started her Christmas shopping on Black Friday because she was nervous about the fast-approaching holiday. She typically starts gift shopping at the end of the first week of December. “I'm a little nervous just because of the shopping piece, and it's just less time that we have to get to prepare for Christmas,” Bals said Saturday while shopping at Habitat, a kitchen and gift store in the Pioneer Woods shopping center. Bals said she’s more excited than nervous with the “crunch time” since the Christmas season won’t drag on as long. Jeff Hajny, a shopper at the SouthPointe Pavilions Barnes & Noble, agreed. Hajny said he likes having Thanksgiving and Christmas closer together. “Because after a while, you're super excited for it, and then you kind of burn out,” he said. Megan Hundt, another shopper at Barnes & Noble, said she feels the pressure but isn’t concerned she won’t get her gifts in time. “I'm a last-minute procrastinator shopper anyways, and things always end up getting done,” she said. A few shoppers the Journal Star spoke to said missing the five days didn’t change their shopping habits much this season, including Logan Koenig, who was shopping at Painted Tree Boutiques at SouthPointe on Saturday. “I usually wait till around Thanksgiving anyway, so plus or minus five days didn't really make a difference in my mind.” Top Journal Star photos for November 2024 Rachel Mulcahy of Lincoln unveils a roll of about 300 signatures supporting the group Justice in Action during a rally in front of the Hall of Justice on Thursday.

The dancer dated Liam for three years from 2010 to 2013, meeting him on The X Factor when she was 22 and the pop sensation was only 17. She recently took to Instagram Stories to explain her absence from social media as she's been focusing on her baby girl and her family. She welcomed their daughter, Mia, in May with radio presenter Sonny Jay. She wrote : 'I'm also very aware that over the past few weeks or so I've posted the least amount I ever have in my entire online career. Yet I've had the most eyes on everything I'm doing or saying. Thank you for being patient with me whilst I take a minute for myself. I'm grateful for all the love sent my way and am making the most of this quality time with my baby girl and the rest of my family." British Airways flight attendant suspended after telling passengers about 'Liam Payne's body' How Gigi Hadid 'offered her support' to ex Zayn Malik after Liam Payne’s death She concluded the message by offering some advice: "Also, for anyone who needs to hear it and is struggling with something within...Everything is just a phase." Danielle attended the former One Direction star's funeral on Wednesday, November 20. Liam was laid to rest after falling to his death last month at CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Danielle was spotted with her partner as he comforted her at the private service. The 36-year-old was seen clutching Sonny's hand as they entered the church together. The funeral saw many mourners that included Liam's One Direction band members Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan. Other stars that attended were Simon Cowell, James Corden, and Liam's ex and mother of his seven-year-old son, Cheryl. In October, following Liam's death, Danielle posted a lengthy emotional tribute to her former boyfriend. The Instagram post also included a few photos of them in the carousel. In her emotional tribute, she reminded fans that he was not just a "world famous musician for the last decade," but also "someone’s son and brother for more than 30 years, a friend to so many and more recently an uncle." She also included that "his most important role" that he was proud of was being a father to his son Bear. She gave her love to his family and said she would "continue to support" them in any way she could. She acknowledged knowing about his struggles over the years but had "prayed this day would never come." She went on to talk about their relationship and how they annoyed each other and at times he was her "favorite person." Danielle added that their relationship ended in 2013 but the two maintained a friendship as they "always knew we’d have some sort of connection forever, no matter where our individual lives took us." She stated how it took him a "little longer" for him to figure out the kind of person he wanted to be and how she wished he knew that he was "always more than enough." She thanked him for the things he taught her like "the importance of setting boundaries" and protecting her heart. Danielle shared that Liam expressed joy at her growing family with her partner and daughter. She concluded with: "I’m sorry your story didn’t end differently, and I’m sorry you didn’t ever get to share more of your magic with the world. Rest easy my friend. Love Danielle x."

News junkies will find much to love in “September 5,” a fictionalized account of ABC’s live coverage of the hostage crisis during the 1972 Munich Olympics . There are spirited debates about reporting with only one source, use of words like “terrorism” and what to do if violence breaks out during a live shot. There are negotiations with rival networks over satellite usage, disguises and fake badges made to get reels of 16mm film in and out of the locked down Olympic village and plenty of confused men (and a few women) trying to keep up with an ever-escalating situation. The film is a moment by moment retelling of how a group of sports broadcasters brought this story to the world in real time, despite the technical limitations and their own inexperience across a confusing 22 hours. Everyone came to the studio that night ready for breaking sports news, scores and pre-packaged interviews. Even that was going to be a test for the man running the control room for the first time. Geoffrey Mason, portrayed by John Magaro , was a 28-year-old coordinating producer. Someone wonders about his experience and is assured that he’s covered minor league baseball games. But in the early hours of Sept. 5, 1972 , eight members of a Palestinian group called Black September broke into the Olympic village and attacked the Israeli delegation killing wrestling coach Moshe Weinberg and weightlifter Yossi Romano. Some escaped, but nine others were taken hostage. While the tragedy of the Munich Olympics has certainly been told many times, writer and director Tim Fehlbaum saw an opportunity in the team behind the live broadcast. And he commits fully to staying in the newsroom, with all of its glorious old technologies, from the walkie-talkies they used to stay in touch and to taking time to show how they had to manually add text to the screens. He and his screenwriter were able to reconstruct the events almost minute-by-minute, which helped shape the screenplay. The players are many in this large ensemble. Peter Sarsgaard , who’s looked right in a newsroom since “Shattered Glass,” gives gravitas to Roone Arledge, then-president of ABC Sports, and Ben Chaplin is operations engineer Marvin Bader. Leonie Benesch is Marianne Gebhardt, a German-speaking interpreter who is the only person there able to understand the language of the country. She might be a bit of a composite who checks off a lot of boxes as both an entrepreneurial woman and a younger German offering perspective and insight into what this moment might mean for the country trying to put on a good front in the aftermath of World War II. An actor (Benjamin Walker) plays broadcaster Peter Jennings, and real archival footage of anchor Jim McKay from that day is used in the film. And while they all rise to the occasion, mistakes are made – including a rather big one at the end, following imperfect secondhand information from the Fuerstenfeldbruck airfield. They don’t call it the first draft of history for nothing, after all, and it may be illuminating for audiences to see how it’s handled. The film looks of its time, but it also feels fairly modern in its sensibilities which makes it always seem more like a re-telling than an in-the-moment experience. This may be to its detriment, yet it’s still an undeniably riveting and compelling watch. The word thrilling doesn’t seem appropriate, however. This is not “Apollo 13” after all. The end is not a happy one. But at time when trust in the media is in crisis, this film is a great humanizer, reminding audiences that the media is far from a monolith, but a group of individuals under immense pressure to get the story right, get the story out and go back and do it again the next day. “September 5,” a Paramount Pictures release in theaters Friday, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association for language. Running time: 94. Three stars out of four. Lindsey Bahr, The Associated Press
Iceland's Political Turbulence: A New Era LoomsLebanese civilians return home to shattered lives and cities after ceasefireThe champions crashed to a fifth straight defeat in all competitions – something not experienced by the club in more than 18 years – as they were thrashed 4-0 by Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. The loss, which was also a third in succession in the Premier League and shattered a 52-game unbeaten home run, damaged the club’s hopes of winning an unprecedented fifth title in a row. It is the worst run of Guardiola’s glittering managerial career and the City boss, who extended his contract until 2027 last week, is determined to turn the situation around. The Catalan said: “When we start to lose I say to the people I have to find a way, I have to. It’s my duty, my responsibility, to find a way to be more consistent, that our game will be better and win games. “This is what we have to do.” City have been hampered by injuries to key players in recent weeks, particularly by the absence of Ballon d’Or-winning midfielder Rodri, who has been sidelined for the remainder of the season. Problems have emerged at both ends of the field with a lack of clean sheets – just five in 19 outings this term – and a shortage of goals being scored on occasions, like Saturday, when the prolific Erling Haaland has an off-day. Guardiola said: “We don’t expect to lose important players but it’s happened and you have to find a way. We have to find other abilities. “I don’t think we didn’t create enough chances. We created a lot of chances, clear ones at 0-0, 0-1, 0-2. “Of course we want a lot of players to score but it’s happened now. “I know at the Etihad when we are there and we score goals our momentum is there, but now we are not solid enough. That is the truth. “In both sides normally we are solid but we concede the goals. Now in both sides we are not good enough. “In these situations, what do you have do to? Keep going my friends, keep going. “We have done it in the past – not in terms of results being as bad as now – but we have done it and we face the situation and move forward.”Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Saturday thanked the people of Jharkhand after the grand victory of his Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-led alliance in the State Assembly polls . Accompanied by his wife Kalpana Soren and other leaders of alliance parties and clad in a grey tracksuit, Mr. Soren addressed the media at his official residence. He expressed his gratitude to the public and also reacted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s congratulatory message, saying, “I thank him as well.” Also read | Jharkhand Assembly results: Women kin of top politicians fare badly; two ex-CMs’ wives lose In a message posted on social media platform X at around 4:45 p.m., Mr. Modi said, “I thank the people of Jharkhand for their support towards us. We will always be at the forefront of raising people’s issues and working for the state. I also congratulate the JMM-led alliance for their performance in the state.” Mr. Soren said that the people of Jharkhand trusted the INDIA bloc and participated in the festival of democracy. “I assure the people of Jharkhand that in the coming days, I will not let your trust down. The people of Jharkhand have proved the very essence of democracy that is unity in diversity, brotherhood, harmony. The people of the country will take the message which has come out from this election very seriously,” he said. JMM supporters celebrate As he was addressing the media, Mr. Soren’s supporters were shouting the slogan Dekho Dekho Sher Aaya (Look, the lion is here). JMM workers were bursting firecrackers inside and outside the CM’s house. Mr. Soren further said, “My heartfelt thanks to everyone for the good wishes I am receiving from across the country. Like 2019, I would again request everyone that if you are coming to meet me, then instead of a bouquet, give me a book [as present]. While I was in jail, I got a lot of time to read the books that you all had gifted me. Thank you everyone for this.” Jharkhand Congress in-charge Gulam Ahmed Mir and RJD’s Jay Prakash Narayan Yadav were present at the joint briefing. Besides the media, many members of the public also had entered his residence to get a glimpse of Mr. Soren and his victory address. Ms. Soren also said, “The JMM-led alliance’s historic victory is the result of the strength and trust given by the people of Jharkhand. Their support has given us more strength to build a new Jharkhand. Together we will make Jharkhand one of the leading States of the country.” Himanta Biswa Sarma ‘deeply pained’ Meanwhile, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who was the BJP election in-charge for Jharkhand, on Saturday said that the party’s loss was “deeply painful”. In a message on X, he said, “The loss in Jharkhand is deeply painful for me personally, even though we secured victory in all five by-elections in Assam. I have witnessed the unwavering dedication and relentless efforts of our karyakartas in Jharkhand, who gave their all in this election. We fought with a vision to protect the state from infiltration and to lead it on the path of development, fulfilling the aspirations of students and youth. However, we must humbly accept the mandate of the people, for that is the true essence of democracy. In these challenging times, we will stand firmly with our karyakartas , offering them unwavering support and solidarity.” Mr. Sarma added that the JMM and its allies had secured an impressive victory in Jharkhand and expressed his “heartfelt congratulations” to Mr. Soren and his entire team on the achievement. He also said that he was confident that under leadership of Mr. Soren, Jharkhand would embark on a path of progress and development.

More than a day past the scheduled conclusion of two days of COP29 talks, host Azerbaijan urged bleary-eyed delegates to seek consensus to avoid failure. "I know that none of us want to leave Baku without a good outcome," COP president Mukhtar Babayev told a late-night session, urging all nations to "bridge the remaining divide". Developing power Brazil pleaded for at least some progress and said it would seek to build on it when it leads COP30 next year in the Amazon gateway of Belem. "After the difficult experience that we're having here in Baku, we need to reach some outcome that is minimally acceptable in line with the emergency we're facing," Brazil's environment minister Marina Silva told delegates. A number of nations have accused Azerbaijan, an authoritarian oil and gas exporter, of lacking the experience and will to meet the moment, as the planet again sets record temperatures and faces rising deadly disasters. Small island nations threatened by rising seas and impoverished African states on Saturday angrily stormed out of a meeting with Azerbaijan, saying their concerns had been ignored. The European Union, United States and other wealthy countries met directly with poorer nations to work out final details, with both blocs also concerned at efforts led by Saudi Arabia to water down calls from last year's summit to phase out fossil fuels. "If we don't do it, people at home -- in every home across the world -- would say, why did you not get an agreement? Because I believe we can," Irish climate minister Eamon Ryan told AFP. A draft of the final text seen by AFP proposes that rich nations raise to $300 billion a year by 2035 their commitment to poorer countries to fight climate change. It is up from $100 billion now provided by wealthy nations under a commitment set to expire -- and from $250 billion proposed in a draft Friday. That offer was slammed as offensively low by developing countries, which have demanded at least $500 billion to build resilience against climate change and cut emissions. Sierra Leone's climate minister Jiwoh Abdulai, whose country is among the world's poorest, called the draft "effectively a suicide pact for the rest of the world". As staff at the cavernous and windowless stadium began closing down, diplomats rushed to meetings with one another, some ready with food and water in preparation for another late night. Panama's outspoken negotiator, Juan Carlos Monterrey Gomez, voiced anger at offers by rich countries but warned not to repeat the failure of COP15 in Copenhagen in 2009. "I'm sad, I'm tired, I'm disheartened, I'm hungry, I'm sleep-deprived, but there is a tiny ray of optimism within me because this cannot become a new Copenhagen," he told reporters. UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said the revised offer of $300 billion was "a significant scaling up" of the existing pledge by developed nations, which also count the United States, EU and Japan among their ranks. Climate activists shouted "shame" as US climate envoy John Podesta walked the halls. "Hopefully this is the storm before the calm," he said. Wealthy nations say it is politically unrealistic to expect more in direct government funding. Donald Trump, a sceptic of both climate change and foreign assistance, returns to the White House in January and a number of other Western countries have seen right-wing backlashes against the green agenda. The draft deal posits a larger overall target of $1.3 trillion per year to cope with rising temperatures and disasters, but most would come from private sources. Ali Mohamed, the Kenyan chair of the African Group of Negotiators, told AFP: "No deal is better than a bad deal." South African environment minister Dion George, however, said: "I think being ambitious at this point is not going to be very useful." "What we are not up for is going backwards or standing still," he said. "We might as well just have stayed at home then." The US and EU have wanted newly wealthy emerging economies like China -- the world's largest emitter -- to chip in. China, which remains classified as a developing nation under the UN framework, provides climate assistance but wants to keep doing so on its own voluntary terms. The EU and other countries have also tussled with Saudi Arabia over including strong language on moving away from fossil fuels, which negotiators say the oil-producing country has resisted. "We will not allow the most vulnerable, especially the small island states, to be ripped off by the new, few rich fossil fuel emitters," said German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock. bur-np-sct/lth/giv Get any of our free email newsletters — news headlines, sports, arts & entertainment, state legislature, CFD news, and more.A star on the LPGA Tour is not apologizing for supporting Donald Trump and the Republican Party. The sports world has seen several notable athletes come out in support of Trump, whether it's by voicing their political opinions, or just by doing his signature dance. Pro sports stars like Nick Bosa, Christian Pulisic and Jon Bones Jones have all gone viral in recent days for doing Trump's signature dance move in celebration during games or matches. LPGA Tour star Charley Hull is part of that group. She's made it clear that she loves Donald Trump. Andrew Redington/Getty Images Hull went viral last weekend for pulling out the Donald Trump dance move in a match against Nelly Korda. Video of the move received millions of views. Charley Hull pulled out the Trump Dance during her final round battle with Nelly Korda on Sunday. The move really is taking over the sports world. pic.twitter.com/tCJGyPSvh3 Hull has made it clear that she loves Trump. She believes the president-elect is "brilliant." "I love Trump. I think he’s brilliant," Hull said before this week's CME Group Tour Championship. "I like how he just says things, he doesn’t care what people think, and he’s straight to the point." Hull, who is British, added that she wishes that Trump was in charge of her home country. "I wish he was head of the U.K.," Hull added. "I just like him as a person. He’s a little better than our Prime Minister." While Hull might be criticized by some for saying that, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith is tired of the people who are bothered by the Trump celebrations. He doesn't even think anyone should be addressing it. “Here’s why I’m (ticked) off, that the NFL had to even issue a statement about it,” he said on this week's episode of The Stephen A. Smith Show . “Because celebrations usually don’t warrant that. It doesn’t require a response from the league. so why was it necessary this time? You know why? Because we got a bunch of people still living with their heads in the cloud acting like they get to protest every little damn thing. This is America. Donald Trump won the election, rather convincingly, I might add.” Most are probably aligned with Stephen A. Smith on this, to be honest.
Celtic opened up a gap at the top of the Premiership for the first time this season, as they took full advantage of Aberdeen’s slip up at St Mirren earlier in the day to go three points clear with a stunning second half display to defeat Hearts in the capital. Much to the mirth of their supporters, the victory at Tynecastle also opened up an 11-point gap to struggling city rivals Rangers. After a hard-fought first half in which Hearts looked the more dangerous side, Kyogo Furuhashi ruthlessly took advantage of an error from Daniel Oyegoke to put Celtic ahead, before man of the moment Nicolas Kuhn smashed home a quickfire second to extinguish any hopes of a Hearts comeback. Adam Idah came off the bench to grab a third, and hammer home the point that this Celtic side are not only now clear at the top of the table, but clear of any domestic opposition once they click into gear. Musa Drammeh pulled one back for Hearts late on, but Jorge Grant’s trip on James Forrest allowed Idah to put the icing on the cake with his second from the penalty spot. Here are the talking points from Tynecastle... Catch them if you can Aberdeen’s start to the season has been hugely impressive, and Jimmy Thelin and his men deserve huge credit for what they have achieved to date. But the challenge of keeping pace with this Celtic squad was always going to be a big ask. The champions weren’t at their best here or even anywhere close to it, but they still ran out comfortable winners in the end. It will be a huge challenge for the Dons not only to react to their own defeat, but to cling onto the coattails of Brendan Rodgers’ men from here on in. King Kuhn reigns supreme For all that Celtic were given their initial foothold in this game by a Hearts slip up, Kuhn had always looked the likeliest player in green and white to come up with something during what was, collectively, an uncharacteristically sloppy first half. And it was no surprise that it was the winger who slammed home the crucial second goal after he worked a devastating counterattack with Daizen Maeda. As he latched onto the return ball from the Japanese and strode into the area, there was never any doubt about the outcome, and he duly delivered a thumping left foot finish that was past Craig Gordon and into the back of the Hearts net before the veteran keeper could move a muscle. It was his 11th goal of the season to date and 21st goal involvement all told, a tally at this point you would have got long odds on predicting at the end of last term. The transformation in the 24-year-old has been remarkable, and he shows no signs of letting up after another impressive display. Hearts shoot themselves in the foot after impressive first half Neil Critchley must have been tearing his hair out that his gameplan, which had worked so well in the opening 45 minutes, was undone by a moment of slackness from one of his own men. It appeared that Oyegoke had done the hard part as he read and cut out Greg Taylor’s attempted ball inside him for Maeda, but as he tried to clear his lines, his lazy swing of the left leg succeeded only in sending the ball off the midriff of Callum McGregor and squirting through to Kyogo, who forced the ball home despite the best efforts of Gordon. When Kuhn cracked home the second on the counter soon after, it was game over, but there was so much to encourage Critchley from what had come before. For all that Celtic had more of the ball than the hosts, it was clear that Hearts were quite happy to allow them to pass it around in deeper areas of the pitch. But when the hosts pressed, they did so as a unit, and they unsettled Celtic to such an extent that even the normally unflappable McGregor was coughing up possession. They can take great heart from so much of what they did here and how they tested Celtic, but ultimately, the champions came up with an emphatic answer. And ultimately, Hearts are still only saved the ignominy of being bottom of the table by the ongoing shambles on the other side of Edinburgh. Concern over Arne Engels? The Belgian is still young, and it is clear that he is a wonderfully gifted, highly technical footballer. But it has also been clear for a while now that he is struggling to influence games for Celtic as they might hope an £11m signing would. He had some nice touches here and there and showed the odd flash of his ability with a couple of searching balls in behind the Hearts defence, but that was about the sum of it really. He will of course be given some grace and some time to settle into Scottish football and to get to grips with what Rodgers expects from him in his system, but the likes of Paulo Bernardo and Luke McCowan would be entitled to feel that his contributions of late don’t merit him keeping them on the bench for much longer. Bernardo in fact made a telling contribution when he did get on, squaring for Idah to get Celtic’s third, and Engels will know he needs to do more. Lawrence Shankland’s woes continue As his refreshingly candid comments during the week confirmed, the Hearts captain is all too aware that he has fallen below his previous high standards this season, and it was a familiar tale for the striker here. Again, there was much to admire about his performance. Celtic centre back Auston Trusty knew he was in a game alright, with Shankland able to pin him on several occasions as the ball was tossed up in his direction, allowing him to bring his teammates into play. An example of that early in the game almost brought the opener, as some lovely link up play with Blair Spittal eventually saw Shankland tee up his teammate with a sight of goal, but with the ball at an awkward height he couldn’t force it past Kasper Schmeichel. Sadly for Shankland though, it was his old predatory instinct in from of goal that was again conspicuous by its absence, as he sclaffed a James Penrice cutback wide of goal from around 12 yards soon after. There was no pressure on him at all, save for the pressure he appears to be placing upon his own shoulders to rediscover his goalscoring touch.GlobalFoundries ( NASDAQ:GFS – Get Free Report ) and Power Integrations ( NASDAQ:POWI – Get Free Report ) are both computer and technology companies, but which is the better stock?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Blake Snell and the Los Angeles Dodgers have finalized a $182 million, five-year contract. The reigning World Series champions announced the deal with the two-time Cy Young Award winner on Saturday. Snell, who turns 32 on Wednesday, went 5-3 with a 3.12 ERA in 20 starts for San Francisco this year, throwing a no-hitter at Cincinnati on Aug. 2 for one of only 16 individual shutouts in the major leagues this season. The left-hander struck out 145 and walked 44 in 104 innings. He was sidelined between April 19 and May 22 by a strained left adductor and between June 2 and July 9 by a strained left groin. Snell gets a $52 million signing bonus , payable on Jan. 20, and annual salaries of $26 million, of which $13 million each year will be deferred. Because Snell is a Washington state resident, the signing bonus will not be subject to California income tax. Snell joins Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto atop Los Angeles’ rotation. Ohtani didn’t pitch this year while recovering from right elbow surgery but the two-way star is expected back on the mound in 2025. Snell won Cy Young Awards in 2018 with Tampa Bay and 2023 with San Diego. He is 76-58 with a 3.19 ERA in nine seasons with the Rays (2016-20), Padres (2021-23) and Giants. Because he turned down a qualifying offer from San Diego last November, the Giants were not eligible to give Snell another one and won’t receive draft-pick compensation.
