untitled goose game Oscar Fairs from Benfleet, Essex, was diagnosed with a rare 7cm ependymoma brain tumour in August 2023 and underwent seven surgeries, one round of chemotherapy and one round of radiotherapy to be told palliative care was the only option. A GoFundMe page was set up to help the family raise £100,000 towards a treatment trial in France. It is with deep and profound sadness that West Ham United confirm the tragic passing of our U15s Academy goalkeeper Oscar Fairs, following his brave battle with cancer. Rest in peace, brave Oscar. — West Ham United (@WestHam) December 13, 2024 West Ham footballers donated £27,000, chairman David Sullivan donated £10,000 and Arsenal footballer and former West Ham star Declan Rice gave £5,000, according to Ms Fairs. On Friday, West Ham announced that the 15-year-old had died. Sporting director Mark Noble said: “Oscar was adored by everyone at the Academy – not only was he a great goalkeeper, he was a true Hammer and a fantastic young person, who will be deeply missed by everyone who had the pleasure to know him. “I have wonderful memories of Oscar playing in my garden – (my son) Lenny and his teammates all loved him. “He was a friendly, happy, well-mannered and polite young man, who had such a bright future ahead of him, and it is just so unimaginably devastating that he has been taken from his family and friends at this age. “The thoughts and sincere condolences of everyone at the Club are with Oscar’s parents, Natalie and Russell, and his brother Harry, and we kindly ask that the family’s privacy is respected at this extremely difficult time.” All scheduled Academy fixtures over the weekend have been postponed as a mark of respect.Hry races to finalise civic poll schedule before Jan 4NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor appears open to switching parties to become a Republican, as he declined to rule out a future change in political allegiances during a pair of interviews Friday that came as he has increasing warmed to President-elect Donald Trump. The comments from Adams, the top Democrat in one of the country's most liberal cities, riled critics who have grown concerned over the mayor's increasing willingness to throw his support behind Trump and his hardline immigration policies. Adams, , was a registered Republican in the 1990s and early 2000s but has spent his political career as a Democrat. In a Friday morning interview with the local cable news station NY1, Adams was asked if he would consider a return to the GOP. The Democrat appeared to leave open the possibility of a switch. “The party that’s the most important for me is the American party,” he said. “I’m a part of the American party. I love this country. This is the home of the free, the land of the brave.” In another interview about a half-hour later on PIX11, Adams said he would run for reelection as a Democrat but still appeared to leave some wiggle room for his future. “So no matter what party I’m on or vote on, I’m going to push for the American values," he said. "And I think America has told us, stop the squabbling, leaders, and start leading us out of the crisis that we’re facing.” Adams won office on a centrist platform and has spent significant time as mayor quarreling with the progressive wing of his party. But his rhetoric in the weeks since Trump's election victory, particularly on immigration, with Adams boosting the president-elect's platform and appearing enthusiastic about the incoming administration. Rather than restricting cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as he once promised, Adams recently expressed a willingness to roll back the city’s so-called sanctuary policies, and he plans to meet with Trump’s top border official over concerns about what the mayor said was the “rising illegal alien crime rate in New York City.” He has also praised those in Trump’s orbit, including Elon Musk, who has claimed falsely that Democrats are illegally “importing” migrants to garner votes. “This is a racehorse that wanted to run its right pace and we’ve been holding back that racehorse out of fear of being canceled,” Adams said of the country Tuesday. “And now you have a bunch of people who are not afraid of being canceled.” The shift comes as Adams is trying to fight off an indictment on federal corruption charges while governing the city and gearing up to run for a second term. Adams has pleaded not guilty in his criminal case, in which he has been accused of accepting free or discounted overseas trips and illegal campaign contributions from people looking to gain his influence, including people connected to Turkey or the Turkish government. Adams’ critics have seized on his recent comments about the Trump administration as a move toward self-preservation, accusing the mayor of cozying up to the next president in an effort to secure a pardon in his corruption case. “Eric Adams continues to sound more like he is auditioning for a job in right-wing media than running for reelection in a Democratic primary,” said Zohran Mamdani, a state assembly member who is challenging against Adams in the mayoral primary. “Eric Adams is in City Hall because Democratic voters sent him there. To serve his own narrow self-interests, he is clearly prepared to betray them.” Zellnor Myrie, a state senator who is also challenging Adams in the primary, said “at a time when the Republican Party has never been more out of line with New York values, we need a mayor who isn’t scared to call himself a Democrat.” “Instead of playing footsie with the next president, we need a mayor with the courage to stand up for our city,” Myrie wrote on X. Adams on Friday did distance himself from the Trump administration's potential plans to carry out mass deportations, saying, “You know, I’m not for mass deportation, but I’m not for mass saturation.” Still, the mayor's recent remarks are a major departure from his stance before he took office. In June of 2021, a few weeks before winning the Democratic mayoral primary, Adams spoke to a room full of immigrant New Yorkers about the challenges facing city residents who are in the country illegally. “Too many of our neighbors live in the shadows,” he said at the time, “scarred by the abusive rhetoric and tactics of the Trump era and fearing a denial of their rights.” Izaguirre reported from Albany.

Humboldt council livestreaming meetings to increase transparency

By Jack Phillips Contributing Writer Former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz wrote Thursday he is withdrawing himself from consideration as President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for U.S. attorney general. “It is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work” of the Trump administration, Gaetz wrote in a statement posted to social media platform X. Gaetz said he met with senators a day earlier and had “thoughtful feedback” and received “incredible support” from many of them. Gaetz faced congressional, federal and media scrutiny over allegations that would have complicated his path to confirmation as the nation’s top federal prosecutor. Trump responded to Gaetz’s announcement in a social media post, thanking Gaetz for his efforts in seeking approval from senators for the U.S. attorney general role. “He was doing very well but, at the same time, did not want to be a distraction for the administration, for which he has much respect,” the president-elect wrote. “Matt has a wonderful future, and I look forward to watching all of the great things he will do!” The House Ethics Committee announced Wednesday that it will not release its final report involving an investigation into Gaetz — at least for the time being. Last year, the former Florida lawmaker said in a statement that the Department of Justice had ended a related sex trafficking investigation with no charges against him. He has also categorically denied claims related to the ethics panel’s investigation, noting that the DOJ ended that probe. “The Department of Justice has confirmed to congressman Gaetz’s attorneys that their investigation has concluded and that he will not be charged with any crimes,” a statement from his office said last year. Earlier this week, an attorney involved in a civil case brought by a Gaetz associate was told about an unknown person’s unauthorized access to case documents in a separate matter. Attorney Joel Leppard, who had represented a client involved in the case, said the files included unredacted depositions from a woman who claimed to have had a sexual encounter with Gaetz when she was 17 as well as testimony from another woman who claimed to be a witness. The files the individual was able to access were part of a defamation case filed by a Gaetz associate against Gaetz’s one-time political ally Joel Greenberg. Gaetz was not part of the lawsuit involving the files and has said he did not have sex with a minor. In the meantime, several Senate Republicans have expressed concern about his possibility of being nominated, or they have declined to publicly state whether they will confirm him. “He’s got an uphill climb,” said Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, in response to a question from reporters earlier this week. Meanwhile, some GOP senators have said they believe the information contained in the House Ethics report will likely be leaked, causing a media firestorm similar to what occurred during Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation years ago. “Does anybody honestly think that a lot of that testimony is not going to be re-engineered?” Sen. Thom Tillis, R-North Carolina, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told reporters on Tuesday. “I mean, we are creating a false crisis because the reality is all that information is going to be on display at the hearing. Think Brett Kavanaugh.” Sen. John Kennedy, R-Louisiana, told reporters that “we all know what Washington is like” and that it “leaks like a wet paper bag.” “I’m not predicting it, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the report leaked,” he said. On Tuesday, a reporter asked Trump, who was in Texas to watch a SpaceX rocket launch, about whether he is reconsidering the Gaetz nomination. Trump replied, “No,” according to footage of the encounter. Gaetz resigned from his congressional seat on Nov. 13 after he was named as Trump’s choice for attorney general. However, he had won reelection for the upcoming Congress on Nov. 5. Zachary Stieber contributed to this report.House rancour likely to cloud Constitution debate

South Korea's Yoon names new defence minister after botched martial lawNEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks rose to records Friday after data suggested the job market remains solid enough to keep the economy going, but not so strong that it raises immediate worries about inflation . The S&P 500 climbed 0.2%, just enough top the all-time high set on Wednesday, as it closed a third straight winning week in what looks to be one of its best years since the 2000 dot-com bust. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 123.19 points, or 0.3%, while the Nasdaq composite rose 0.8% to set its own record. The quiet trading came after the latest jobs report came in mixed enough to strengthen traders’ expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates again at its next meeting in two weeks. The report showed U.S. employers hired more workers than expected last month, but it also said the unemployment rate unexpectedly ticked up to 4.2% from 4.1%. “This print doesn’t kill the holiday spirit and the Fed remains on track to deliver a cut in December,” according to Lindsay Rosner, head of multi-sector investing within Goldman Sachs Asset Management. The Fed has been easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high since September to offer more help for the slowing job market, after bringing inflation nearly all the way down to its 2% target. Lower interest rates can ease the brakes off the economy, but they can also offer more fuel for inflation. Expectations for a series of cuts from the Fed have been a major reason the S&P 500 has set an all-time high 57 times so far this year. And the Fed is part of a global surge: 62 central banks have lowered rates in the past three months, the most since 2020, according to Michael Hartnett and other strategists at Bank of America. Still, the jobs report may have included some notes of caution for Fed officials underneath the surface. Scott Wren, senior global market strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute, pointed to average wages for workers last month, which were a touch stronger than economists expected. While that’s good news for workers who would always like to make more, it could keep upward pressure on inflation. “This report tells the Fed that they still need to be careful as sticky housing/shelter/wage data shows that it won’t be easy to engineer meaningfully lower inflation from here in the nearer term,” Wren said. So, while traders are betting on an 85% probability the Fed will ease its main rate in two weeks, they’re much less certain about how many more cuts it will deliver next year, according to data from CME Group. For now, the hope is that the job market can help U.S. shoppers continue to spend and keep the U.S. economy out of a recession that had earlier seemed inevitable after the Fed began hiking interest rates swiftly to crush inflation. Several retailers offered encouragement after delivering better-than-expected results for the latest quarter. Ulta Beauty rallied 9% after topping expectations for both profit and revenue. The opening of new stores helped boost its revenue, and it raised the bottom end of its forecasted range for sales over this full year. Lululemon stretched 15.9% higher following its own profit report. It said stronger sales outside the United States helped it in particular, and its earnings topped analysts’ expectations. Retailers overall have been offering mixed signals on how resilient U.S. shoppers can remain amid the slowing job market and still-high prices. Target gave a dour forecast for the holiday shopping season, for example, while Walmart gave a much more encouraging outlook. A report on Friday suggested sentiment among U.S. consumers may be improving more than economists expected. The preliminary reading from the University of Michigan’s survey hit its highest level in seven months. The survey found a surge in buying for some products as consumers tried to get ahead of possible increases in price due to higher tariffs that President-elect Donald Trump has threatened. In tech, Hewlett Packard Enterprise jumped 10.6% for one of the S&P 500’s larger gains after reporting stronger profit and revenue than expected. Tech stocks were some of the market’s strongest this week, as Salesforce and other big companies talked up how much of a boost they’re getting from the artificial-intelligence boom. All told, the S&P 500 rose 15.16 points to 6,090.27. The Dow dipped 123.19 to 44,642.52, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 159.05 to 19,859.77. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury yield slipped to 4.15% from 4.18% late Thursday. In stock markets abroad, France’s CAC 40 rose 1.3% after French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to stay in office until the end of his term and to name a new prime minister within days. Earlier this week, far-right and left-wing lawmakers approved a no-confidence motion due to budget disputes, forcing Prime Minister Michel Barnier and his cabinet to resign. In Asia, stock indexes were mixed. They rallied 1.6% in Hong Kong and 1% in Shanghai ahead of an annual economic policy meeting scheduled for next week. South Korea’s Kospi dropped 0.6% as South Korea’s ruling party chief showed support for suspending the constitutional powers of President Yoon Suk Yeol after he declared martial law and then revoked that earlier this week. Yoon is facing calls to resign and may be impeached. Bitcoin was sitting near $101,500 after briefly bursting above $103,000 to a record the day before.

What to know about Northern California's rare tsunami warningA fast-moving winter storm will head eastward across the Great Lakes, central Appalachians and the Northeast on Wednesday and Thursday, bringing a powerful arctic cold front with strong bursts of snow and forceful gusts of wind to millions of Americans. The storm, known as an “Alberta Clipper” due to the origin of these kinds of storms in the Canadian province of Alberta, is a low pressure system that moved across southeastern Canada and hit the Northern Plains and the Great Lakes region Wednesday before it spreads to the central Appalachians, the Northeast and the Mid-Atlantic on Thursday, according to a social media post from the National Weather Service Prediction Center. Dangerous travel conditions, power outages, fallen tree branches and whiteouts are projected, with 50 mph winds and the typically light and fluffy snow of a clipper storm, which makes it prone to drifting and difficult to clear, contributing to hazardous conditions. READ: Here’s what to know about the winter storm: States from the Dakotas to New England may feel the effects of the Alberta Clipper, as wind and winter storm advisories and warnings have been issued from the Great Lakes to the Northeast. Snow in North Dakota, northern Minnesota, Michigan, New York, northern Pennsylvania and New England is predicted by the National Weather Service . Conditions include snow squalls, warnings about which were in effect Wednesday morning in eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota, according to a social media post from the National Weather Service Prediction Center. Lake-effect snow is also expected in northeast Ohio, northwestern Pennsylvania and western New York, with snowfall ranging from approximately 6 to 20 inches, adding to the snow that already fell in these states around the Thanksgiving holiday. Similarly, the National Weather Service warned about blizzard conditions in Maryland’s Garrett County and West Virginia’s Grant and Western Pendleton counties for late Wednesday until mid-afternoon Thursday, with wind gusts as high as 60 mph and 3 to 9 inches of snow expected. According to the National Weather Service , the lake effect occurs when cold air moves over the open waters of the Great Lakes and gathers moisture and warmth from the relatively warmer, unfrozen lakes. As the air rises, clouds begin to form and expand into a narrow band that drops snow downwind of the lake. But because the bands are narrow, they can produce heavy snowfall in specific areas depending on where the wind takes them, which means that snow could be falling in one place and the sun could be shining not too far away. Associated Press Dec. 2, 2024 Snow squalls are short-lived snow events that usually only last an hour, according to the National Weather Service . Despite their quick nature, snow squalls are intense due to their moderate to heavy snowfalls and strong winds that can result in whiteout conditions, which greatly reduce visibility and create unsafe travel conditions for motorists.NoneSouth Korean firm introduces non-camera AI systems for enhanced restroom privacy

Bath & Body Works Inc. stock underperforms Friday when compared to competitors

( ) shares are catching the eye of investors on Thursday. But not for a good reason. In morning trade, the ASX All Ords stock is down a massive 28% to 26.5 cents. Why is this ASX All Ords stock crashing? This copper miner's shares are under pressure today after it a fully underwritten institutional placement and the institutional component of a fully underwritten accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer. According to the release, the placement and institutional entitlement offer will raise approximately $154 million at an offer price of 27 cents per share. This represents a 27% discount to the last closing 29Metals share price of 37 cents. The ASX All Ords stock advised that the placement and institutional entitlement offer received strong support from both new and eligible existing institutional shareholders. Existing shareholders (excluding EMR Capital) subscribed for approximately 82% of their entitlements in the institutional entitlement offer. New shares not taken up by both eligible and ineligible institutional shareholders have been fully allocated to eligible institutional investors. Why is it raising funds? Management advised that the proceeds of the equity raising will support a balance sheet reset and fully fund the Gossan Valley project to first ore. The latter follows the of the project by the company's board this week. The ASX All Ords stock's CEO, James Palmer, explained: Net proceeds from the equity raising and refinancing of senior funded debt facilities provides 29Metals with the balance sheet needed to pursue our strategic objectives. [...] In addition to the deleveraging impact of the Equity Raising, the proceeds will be directed towards fully funding the Gossan Valley project at Golden Grove to first ore. Gossan Valley is a milestone project for the Company, providing production flexibility from an additional and independent mining front, with the potential for future Gossan Valley Mineral Resources extensions from planned in-mine and near mine exploration drilling, as well as a higher-grade replacement ore source for Scuddles. Palmer also commented on the success of its equity raising. He was pleased with the support, stating: The level of support shown by our existing shareholders, as well as new investors, has been very encouraging. This Equity Raising drives a balance sheet reset, fully funds development at Gossan Valley to first ore and provides support to progress water reduction efforts at Capricorn Copper, as well as general working capital. The company will now push ahead with the retail component of the equity raising, which aims to raise approximately $26 million on the same terms.NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans ' most consistent scoring threat in an ugly season now is on the injury report, and that's why they brought back a player for a bit of insurance. Kicker Nick Folk worked through some soreness, making a pair of field goals for Tennessee's only points last week in the Titans' loss to the Jaguars , his longest a 46-yarder. Both Folk and Brayden Narveson were on the field Wednesday during the portion of practice open to reporters, though the Titans listed Folk among six who did not practice. Coach Brian Callahan said it was just some “general soreness" for Folk. But as good as Folk has been this season, he turned 40 last month. So the Titans (3-10) signed Narveson to the practice squad Tuesday after he spent training camp with them in case they need an option Sunday when they host Cincinnati (5-8). “You’re always mindful of it with kickers and that kind of leg soreness," Callahan said. "So he finished the game but was sore. ... He doesn’t do anything on Wednesdays anyway. He’ll try to kick (Thursday), and we’ll see where he’s at. So I don’t really know how to feel about it either way. I just know he’ll kick tomorrow, and then we’ll have a better feel for his status after that.” Folk has an NFL record streak of 85 consecutive field goals made on attempts from less than 40 yards, which included a 39-yarder that put the Titans up 6-0 last week. He ranks 14th in NFL history with 403 field goals and trails Arizona kicker Matt Prater by just four. Prater, who has 407 field goals, currently is on injured reserve. The kicker signed a new deal this offseason after New England traded him to Tennessee in 2023 with Folk going on to lead both the NFL and set a franchise record, making 96.7% of his field goals (29 of 30). Folk has been nearly perfect this season, making all 22 extra point attempts and is 21 of 22 on field goals, including matching his career-long with a 56-yarder earlier this season. Narveson had an impressive preseason for Tennessee, letting Folk focus on preparing for the regular season. The rookie from N.C. State was 6 of 7 on field-goal attempts, including a 59-yarder. He also made a 46-yard attempt as time expired in a 16-15 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. His lone miss was a 58-yarder at the end of the Titans' preseason finale that was nearly returned for a touchdown. He made his first try only to have it nullified because a timeout had been called. Green Bay claimed Narveson when Tennessee waived him at the final roster cutdown. The Packers waived Narveson in October after the kicker missed a league-high five field-goal attempts. “If for some reason he can’t go Sunday, Brayden will be ready to roll in and he’ll kick and do all that,” Callahan said of Narveson. "So obviously it’s nice to have some familiarity with him, and he’s here in case we need him.” Among the Titans who practiced fully Wednesday was quarterback Will Levis . He said after the loss to the Jaguars that he played the second half after getting a shot after aggravating his right, throwing shoulder. He sprained the AC joint in that shoulder early in a win over Miami on Sept. 30 and later missed three games with the injury. “Feel good,” Levis said after a 75-minute practice. “Just going to see how the week goes and see how the body responds, but I definitely feel better than the last time I nicked it up.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
