(AP) — The New York Giants snapped a franchise-record 10-game losing streak and ended the Indianapolis Colts’ slim playoff hopes Sunday as Drew Lock threw four touchdown passes and ran for another in a 45-33 victory. New York earned its first home win of the season and it no longer has control of the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. Lock sandwiched touchdown passes of 31 and 59 yards to Malik Nabers around TD passes of 32 yards to Darius Slayton and 5 yards to Wan’Dale Robinson in leading the Giants (3-13) to their first win since beating Seattle on Oct. 6.

The incredible 'Concorde-like' 1,050mph supersonic jet that could be ready by 2030A report from the charity on hurricanes, floods, typhoons and storms influenced by climate change warns that the top 10 disasters each cost more than 4 billion US dollars in damage (£3.2 billion). The figures are based mostly on insured losses, so the true costs are likely to be even higher, Christian Aid said, as it called for action to cut greenhouse gas emissions and finance for poor countries to cope with climate change. Politicians who “downplay the urgency of the climate crisis only serve to harm their own people and cause untold suffering around the world”, climate expert Joanna Haigh said. While developed countries feature heavily in the list of costliest weather extremes, as they have higher property values and can afford insurance, the charity also highlighted another 10 disasters which did not rack up such costs but were just as devastating, often hitting poorer countries. Most extreme weather events show “clear fingerprints” of climate change, which is driving more extreme weather events, making them more intense and frequent, experts said. The single most costly event in 2024 was Hurricane Milton, which scientists say was made windier, wetter and more destructive by global warming, and which caused 60 billion US dollars (£48 billion) of damage when it hit the US in October. That is closely followed by Hurricane Helene, which cost 55 billion US dollars (£44 billion) when it hit the US, Mexico and Cuba just two weeks before Milton in late September. The US was hit by so many costly storms throughout the year that even when hurricanes are removed, other storms cost more than 60 billion US dollars in damage, the report said. Three of the costliest 10 climate extremes hit Europe, including the floods from Storm Boris which devastated central European countries in September and deadly flooding in Valencia in October which killed 226 people. In other parts of the world, floods in June and July in China killed 315 people and racked up costs of 15.6 billion US dollars (£12.4 billion), while Typhoon Yagi, which hit south-west Asia in September, killed more than 800 people and cost 12.6 billion dollars (£10 billion). Events which were not among the most costly in financial terms but which have still been devastating include Cyclone Chido which hit Mayotte in December and may have killed more than 1,000 people, Christian Aid said. Meanwhile, heatwaves affected 33 million people in Bangladesh and worsened the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, flooding affected 6.6 million people in West Africa and the worst drought in living memory affected more than 14 million in Zambia, Malawi, Namibia and Zimbabwe, the charity said. Christian Aid chief executive Patrick Watt said: “There is nothing natural about the growing severity and frequency of droughts, floods and storms. “Disasters are being supercharged by decisions to keep burning fossil fuels, and to allow emissions to rise. “And they’re being made worse by the consistent failure to deliver on financial commitments to the poorest and most climate-vulnerable countries. “In 2025 we need to see governments leading, and taking action to accelerate the green transition, reduce emissions, and fund their promises.” Dr Mariam Zachariah, World Weather Attribution researcher who analyses extreme events in near-real time to discern the role of climate change, at Imperial College London, said: “This report is just a snapshot of climate devastation in 2024. “There are many more droughts, heatwaves, wildfires and floods not included that are becoming more frequent and intense. “Most of these disasters show clear fingerprints of climate change. “Extreme weather is clearly causing incredible suffering in all corners of the world. Behind the billion-dollar figures are lost lives and livelihoods.” And Prof Haigh, emeritus professor of atmospheric physics at Imperial College London, said: “The economic impact of these extreme weather events should be a wake-up call. “The good news is that ever-worsening crises doesn’t have to be our long-term future. “The technologies of a clean energy economy exist, but we need leaders to invest in them and roll them out at scale.” The 10 costliest climate disasters of 2024 were: – US storms, December to January, more than 60 billion US dollars; – Hurricane Milton in the US, October 9-13, 60 billion US dollars (£48 billion); – Hurricane Helene in the US, Mexico, Cuba, 55 billion US dollars (£44 billion); – China floods, June 9-July 14, 15.6 billion US dollars (£12.4 billion); – Typhoon Yagi, which hit south-west Asia from September 1 to 9, 12.6 billion US dollars (£10 billion); – Hurricane Beryl, in the US, Mexico and Caribbean islands from July 1-11, 6.7 billion US dollars (£5.3 billion); – Storm Boris in central Europe, September 12-16, 5.2 billion US dollars (£4.1 billion); – Rio Grande do Sul floods in Brazil, April 28-May 3, 5 billion US dollars (£4 billion); – Bavaria floods, Germany, June 1-7, 4.45 billion US dollars (£3.5 billion); – Valencia floods, Spain, on October 29, 4.22 billion US dollars (£3.4 billion).

Wayne Rooney has encouraged I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! viewers to vote for his wife to do a Bushtucker Trial as he feels she would want to “put herself to the test”. The former England footballer, 39, said he was “proud” of how Coleen was doing in the Australian jungle in a post on social media on Saturday. The couple, who first met at school and began dating aged 16, share four sons – Kai Wayne, Klay Anthony, Kit Joseph and Cass Mac. Proud of on she’s doing great ❤️ Me and the boys would love to see her doing a trial and we know she’d want to put herself to the test. If you can download the app and let’s get voting! 🗳️🕷️🐍 — Wayne Rooney (@WayneRooney) “Proud of @ColeenRoo on @imacelebrity she’s doing great”, he wrote on X, formerly Twitter, alongside a collage of photos of her on the show. “Me and the boys would love to see her doing a trial and we know she’d want to put herself to the test. “If you can download the #ImACeleb and let’s get voting!” During the first task of the series, BBC Radio 1 presenter Dean McCullough chose to partner up with TV personality Coleen as he hailed her as “Wagatha Christie”. Rooney, 38, was given the nickname when she accused Rebekah Vardy, who is married to Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, of leaking her private information to The Sun in a viral post on social media. In July 2022, a judge at the High Court found the post was “substantially true”. During Vardy’s stint on I’m A Celebrity, she became the third celebrity to leave, saying the series helped her become more tolerant. Earlier this week, Liverpool-born Coleen told her fellow campmate that going to court over her feud with Vardy was her “worst nightmare” as she felt she was “putting on a show for the whole world”. However, she said she was not scared about making the viral post which kicked off the dispute, saying: “I just didn’t think it would have the impact it did, because I was just that sick and tired of it, it was draining.” Later in the episode, Rooney became emotional over the loss of her sister Rosie, after boxing star Barry McGuigan spoke about the death of his daughter.

(“American Lithium” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:LI | Nasdaq:AMLI | Frankfurt:5LA1) is announcing that its Board of Directors has approved the voluntary delisting of its common shares (“American Lithium Shares”) from the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) and the deregistration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). American Lithium has notified Nasdaq of its intention to voluntarily delist the American Lithium Shares. The Company currently anticipates that it will file with the SEC a Form 25, Notification of Removal of Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), relating to the delisting and deregistration on or about December 20, 2024, with the delisting of American Lithium Shares taking effect ten calendar days thereafter. As a result, the last trading day of the American Lithium Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market will be December 27, 2024. The American Lithium Shares will continue their listing on the TSX Venture Exchange and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. In addition, American Lithium has applied for the American Lithium Shares to be quoted on the OTCQX Markets in the United States, operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. The Company anticipates transferring their shares on to the OTCQX Best® Market immediately following the Nasdaq delist. American Lithium will continue to provide information to its shareholders and take such actions to enable a trading market in the American Lithium Shares to exist in the United States. Following satisfaction of the relevant deregistration conditions under the applicable U.S. federal securities laws, the Form 25 will also terminate the Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. The Company expects that its reporting obligations will be suspended upon filing of the Form 25. The Board of Directors of the Company believes that the decision to delist the American Lithium Shares from Nasdaq and to terminate its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. The Board has determined that the burdens associated with operating as a company listed on the Nasdaq outweigh any advantages to the Company and its shareholders at this time. The Board’s decision was based on careful review of numerous factors, including the following: the ongoing direct and indirect costs of Exchange Act compliance and maintaining a continued listing of the American Lithium Shares on Nasdaq, including director and officer insurance premiums, audit fees, legal fees and regulatory fees, and the disproportionate impact of the foregoing costs on the Company’s results of operations; the significant burden on Management involved in the preparation of the Company’s public reports, shorter public reporting deadlines in Canada, and compliance with accounting and other requirements of the Exchange Act; the limited benefits to the Company and its unaffiliated shareholders from the Company’s status as a SEC reporting issuer in light of, among other things, the fact that due to market conditions, the low share price, market capitalization, lack of institutional interest and liquidity in the United States for the American Lithium Shares; the Company is not currently in a position to use its public Company status to issue meaningful amounts of equity securities in the United States or make acquisitions due to market conditions; and the opposition by many large shareholders to a share capital consolidation. American Lithium reserves the right, for any reason, to delay any of the filings described above, to withdraw them prior to effectiveness, and to otherwise change its plans in respect of delisting and deregistration and termination of its reporting obligations under applicable U.S. federal securities laws in any way. Completion of any listing on the OTCQX Markets remains subject to the satisfaction of customary listing conditions and regulatory approval, and there can be no assurance that the American Lithium Shares will be listed for trading on the OTCQX Markets. Ab out American Lithium American Lithium is developing two of the world’s largest, advanced-stage lithium projects, along with the largest undeveloped uranium project in Latin America. They include the TLC claystone lithium project in Nevada, the Falchani hard rock lithium project and the Macusani uranium deposit, both in southern Peru. All three projects have been through robust preliminary economic assessments, exhibit significant expansion potential and enjoy strong community support.

Cautionary Note Regarding 32 Concessions Thirty-two of the one-hundred-seventy-four concessions comprising the Falchani and Macusani Projects are currently subject to Administrative and Judicial processes in Peru to overturn resolutions issued by INGEMMET and the Mining Council of MINEM in February 2019 and July 2019, respectively, which declared title to thirty-two concessions invalid due to late receipt of the annual validity payments. On November 2, 2021, American Lithium was awarded a favorable ruling in regard to title to the concessions, but on November 26, 2021, appeals of the judicial ruling were lodged by INGEMMET and MINEM. A three-judge tribunal of Peru’s Superior Court unanimously upheld the ruling in a decision reported in November 2023. American Lithium was subsequently notified that INGEMMET and MINEM have filed petitions to the Supreme Court of Peru to assume jurisdiction in the proceedings. Given the precedent of the original ruling it is hoped that the Supreme Court will not assume jurisdiction; however, there is no assurance of the outcome at this time.MUMBAI: Keen to get the status of ‘national party’ back, the Ajit Pawar-led NCP will contest the Delhi assembly elections, scheduled to be held in February. The party is planning to contest 25 seats, of which candidates for 11 have already been declared. Following the split in the party last year, NCP is looking to regain its national party status, for which it has been contesting elections outside Maharashtra, but failing miserably to register any success, except in Arunachal Pradesh. It had contested Jammu and Kashmir and Jharkhand assembly elections on 35 and 25 seats respectively but could not get even one seat. In Arunachal, however, it won three out of the 14 seats it contested. In Delhi, the party is planning to contest 25 seats, said the party’s national spokesperson, Brijmohan Shrivastava. “We wanted to contest the Delhi polls as a National Democratic Alliance (NDA) front, but BJP thinks otherwise. Hence, the party has started preparation to fight the polls alone,” he said. The party has already declared candidates for Burari, Badli, Mangol Puri, Chandni Chowk, Balli maran, Chhatarpur, Sangam Vihar, Okhla, Laxmi Nagar, Seema Puri and Gokal Puri. In a major setback, the Election Commission (EC) on April 11, 2023, withdrew the national party status of the NCP on the grounds that it no longer fulfilled the eligibility criteria. The EC also revoked its state party status in three states - Goa, Manipur and Meghalaya - which paved the way to remove the national party status. The Election Symbols (Reservation and Allotment) Order, 1968, mandates that for national party status, a political party needs to fulfill any of the following three conditions: First, it should secure at least six percent of the votes polled in four or more states in the Lok Sabha or assembly elections, and should also have at least four members in the Lok Sabha. Secondly, it needs to have at least two percent of the total Lok Sabha seats and candidates from not less than three states. Third, it should be recognised as a state party in at least four states.

No. 24 Illinois stuns Rutgers on Bryant's 40-yard TD reception with 4 seconds left

That’s why we turned to the experts — professional chefs and caterers and interior designers — to discuss some typical Thanksgiving mistakes and how to avoid them. Not prepping “The overriding first mistake people make is they think they have more time than they do,” said Bistro to Go Cafe and Catering executive chef Kate Kobylinski. She regularly hosts her extended family of 30 and knows “every single problem.” “Food takes longer to cook, the table takes longer to set and houses take longer to clean than you think.” Clean your house on Monday. On Wednesday, dice vegetables so they’re “food-show ready,” as Kobylinski put it. Prepare (but don’t cook) your green bean casserole (leaving off garnishes like fried onions) so it can just be popped in the oven and set the dining room table. Not enlisting help Don’t feel that you have to do everything yourself. But be as specific as possible when doling out the assignments. “Don’t let them make their own decisions!” Kobylinski said emphatically. Thanksgiving is “micromanager’s heaven.” For example, have someone bring ice on Thanksgiving Day because going out to buy it takes time and ice hogs freezer space. If you don’t like making desserts, have someone bring one. If a guest wants to prepare a side dish, great, but decide beforehand what they will bring. Ahead of dinner, interior designer Kacie Cope likes to set out all of her serving platters with Post-it notes attached denoting what will go on them. “You’ll be amazed if you have them labeled,” she said. “People can help in a jiff.” During the evening, Kobylinski gives people assigned jobs, such as serving drinks or taking charge of an after-dinner game. And the chef is forgiving about using premade ingredients, like gravy or cranberry jelly. “There’s no right or wrong way to make any of your foods,” she said. But you might want to give a homemade touch to prepared ingredients, like adding sauteed onions or celery to prepared gravy. Not defrosting your turkey “Everyone goes into Thanksgiving Day with a half-frozen turkey,” said Kobylinski. “And you can’t get the bag of giblets out because they’re frozen in place.” It takes one day for every 4 pounds of turkey meat to defrost in the refrigerator. (No, it is not safe to leave your frozen turkey out on the counter to thaw and breed bacteria.) So if you’ve got a 20-pound bird, you’ve got to start thawing on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. However, there are other methods. Kobylinski suggests submerging the bird and running a thin stream of cold water over it. “It doesn’t have to be a lot of water.” The U.S. Department of Agriculture says there are only three ways to safely thaw food: In the refrigerator, in cold water or in the microwave. To safely thaw turkey in cold water, the USDA says it takes about 30 minutes per pound. Put the turkey in a leak-proof plastic bag to prevent cross-contamination and submerge it. Change the water every 30 minutes, and cook immediately when it’s thawed. If opting for your microwave, follow its instructions for thawing and cook immediately. Then, if you’re running late and need to speed things up to satisfy the hungry hordes, you can cut the bird in half before cooking (skin side up). This significantly reduces cooking time, requiring about 10 minutes per pound. Kobylinski also recommends resting the turkey on vegetables in the oven to keep the bottom from getting burned. Serving a dry, overcooked turkey Private chef and culinary educator Emily Larsen warns that those plastic thermometers in supermarket turkeys are setting you up for failure. The USDA says you should cook a turkey until the internal temperature is 165 degrees. Plastic thermometers don’t pop out until the breast meat is at about 180 degrees, “when your turkey is completely dry,” Larsen said. Plus, people forget that meat continues to cook once it’s out of the oven. She recommends taking a bird out of the oven when it is at 155 degrees — she likes to use an inexpensive instant-read folding probe thermometer — and continue to monitor it. (Insert it into the thickest part of the breast, avoiding the bone.) “Ten dollars (for the thermometer) can save your Thanksgiving,” she said. Some feel that buying a frozen rather than fresh bird is another no-no, since freezing leaches water out of the turkey. However, if, despite your best efforts, your turkey is lacking moisture, Kobylinski has a fix: Put warm chicken or turkey stock and clarified butter into a mister and spritz sliced turkey with it before serving. You can do the same with dry stuffing, too. Overcomplicating the menu Thanksgiving Day is not the time to try out a completely new recipe. And you don’t have to lay out 10 side dishes. In addition to opting for a simple menu, Kobylinski also recommends figuring out how long your items will take to cook and what method of cooking they require ahead of time. Your turkey will be monopolizing your oven for four hours, so other oven foods should be limited or be easily reheated during the time that the turkey is resting. (As for resting a turkey, the chef puts her turkey on a hot plate with towels over it so “the meat rebinds itself and stabilizes for a smoother cut.”) “Stovetop items should be staggered,” she said, so you don’t have a frying pan and three pots all going at once. As a sample menu, she suggests you might have one baked potato dish and one mashed. And for vegetables, one baked dish and one that is blanched or grilled. Overcomplicating the decorating Interior designers advise against going too crazy with holiday-specific decor. “There’s a lot that’s being sold to us that we feel like we need,” said Pittsburgh interior designer Amanda Bock. Do you really need a turkey-shaped vase or pilgrim figurines? “They’re out for two weeks, and then you have to figure out where to store them,” Cope agreed. “It takes an already busy season and makes it stressful in an unnecessary way.” Cope says you can take things that are already part of your menu and use them as decor — a bowl of nuts or cranberries, or even removing the label from a cranberry sauce tin and repurposing it as a vase for flowers and fall leaves. Bock adds that dining room table decor should be kept to a minimum, since you’ll need space for your food. You don’t have to have “big chargers and five plates and three different glasses, plus all of your Thanksgiving food on the table,” Bock said. If you do have flowers or a centerpiece in the middle of the table, keep it low, Cope advised. “That way, you can actually see the person who’s across the table from you.” Tableware and tablecloths might be in fall colors, so they can be repurposed throughout the season. Water glasses or wine goblets could be amber-toned, Bock suggests. Inhibiting the party flow Well in advance of your guests’ arrival, think critically about the setup of your home. Don’t be afraid to rearrange your furniture so your guests move to different areas and don’t all congregate in your kitchen. “You want to make sure that there are areas where people can sit and chat, watch the parade or just hang out together,” Bock said. Set up a drinks station and an hors d’oeuvres station in different parts of the house, Bock suggests. Though, she admits, “I can’t do that in my house because my dogs would just gobble up the hors d’oeuvres.” She suggests repurposing a kitchen nook for kid seating, or as a serving area. Kobylinski might set up a half-built puzzle in a side room. She even puts out winter jackets and boots for “the gentlemen” for the moment when she urges them to go out on the porch to smoke cigars and drink brandy so they won’t be underfoot. Forgetting to set the mood As a finishing touch, don’t neglect to set the mood by using lamps around the room instead of harsh overhead lights. Putting out tapers or tea candles establishes an intimate feeling. “That just leans into the cozy fall vibe,” Cope said of low lighting. But don’t use scented candles, Bock warns. Or a smelly flower arrangement. “That can overwhelm you when you’re eating,” Bock said. Putting on a favorite music playlist can set the mood and take away self-consciousness, especially early in the evening. The most important thing on Thanksgiving is simply for everyone to enjoy one another’s company. A little advance preparation can help you, the host, stay relaxed throughout the evening so you can interact with your guests. As Bock advised, “Keep it simple for Thanksgiving.” Let friendship and fellowship be the stars of the show.

"He's a great f--- buddy," Cavallari said on the Dec. 29 episode of Bunnie XO's "Dumb Blonde" podcast. "He was good in bed." Wallen, 31, has not commented on the "Very Cavallari" star's remarks. Cavallari also shared details about her first date with the "Love Somebody" singer, who, she added, is a "good guy" with a "big heart." "The first date that we went on, he was a true gentleman," the 37-year-old told Bunnie, "and he was like, 'I'll pick you up, I'll pick the place,' like, just f---ing handled business." Cavallari, who shares children Camden, 12, Jaxon, 10, and Saylor, 8 with ex-husband Jay Cutler , said Wallen did indeed pick her up and met her kids before they went out. "My kids were so excited," Cavallari said. "It was so cute." READ Kristin Cavallari Admits She's in Her "Villain Era" After Dating Confessions She said that Wallen got the two a private room at the venue they visited, without naming it, and that they were accompanied by his bodyguard. The singer later dropped her off, she said. But the date did not end there. "He kissed me in the rain," she said, "and it was the sweetest thing." CAvallari did not specify when the date occurred or how long their romance lasted. She also said she has not spoken to him in "probably a year." "But," she added, "I have nothing but good things to say about him." In November, more than a month after confirming her breakup from Montana Boyz TikToker Mark Estes and amid romance rumors about her and Wallen, Cavallari seemingly admitted that she had dated the 2025 Grammy nominee . In a video posted on her social media, she and BFF Justin Anderson took part in a viral trend in which people call out truths about one another. In the clip, Cavallari is seen jogging as her friend is heard saying, "Suspect let Morgan Wallen hurt her feelings, and she kept going back." She bursts out laughing and covers her mouth in response. On Bunnie's podcast, Cavallari offered some context into the claim. "God, I'm so sorry, Morgan. He didn't hurt my feelings," she began. "I'll be honest with you — Morgan was the first guy in my entire f---ing like that wasn't just completely enamored with me. And I was like, 'What in the f--- is going on?' It really threw me." The "Uncommon James" founder added, "I love having the upper hand and I feel like with him, I didn't have the upper hand. The only time in my life. So it really f---ed with me."Maschmeyer's 34 saves carry Ottawa Charge past New York Sirens, 3-1

The Prime Minister used an op-ed in the Mail on Sunday to vow to “get to grips” with the cost of welfare after figures suggested more than four million people will be claiming long-term sickness support by the end of the decade. Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall will announce a package of legislation next week designed to “get Britain working” amid Government concerns about the projected rise. Official forecasts published by her department this week show that the number of people claiming incapacity benefits is expected to climb from a pre-pandemic figure of around 2.5 million in 2019 to around 4.2 million in 2029. Last year there were just over three million claimants. The Prime Minister wrote: “In the coming months, Mail on Sunday readers will see even more sweeping changes. Because make no mistake, we will get to grips with the bulging benefits bill blighting our society. “Don’t get me wrong, we will crack down hard on anyone who tries to game the system, to tackle fraud so we can take cash straight from the banks of fraudsters. “There will be a zero-tolerance approach to these criminals. My pledge to Mail on Sunday readers is this: I will grip this problem once and for all.” Ms Kendall’s white paper is expected to include the placement of work coaches in mental health clinics and a “youth guarantee” aimed at ensuring those aged 18-21 are working or studying.

Inspired by the 2003 reimagined series of Battlestar Galactica , Mr Armstead took on the mission of building the 8.3-metre viper in his shed. "I go til midnight, one o'clock, two o'clock every night, I've been doing that for 20 years. If you can't sleep and don't want to waste your time ... then go do something with it," Mr Armstead said. Mr Armstead entered this project as a cutler at the Tharwa Valley Forge, instructing knifemaking, blacksmithing, and metal sculpture courses. Drawing on his knife-making background he taught himself complex skills including fiberglassing, metalwork, and design. "Every stage forced me to learn something new. If I'd finished today with the same set of skills I had started with seven years ago, I wouldn't have gotten it finished," he said. Mr Armstead prioritised reusing discarded materials from local industries, such as plywood and polystyrene, which became the foundation of his eight-metre viper. "Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve feeds all their bird life and aquatic life with fish, and they come in these big polystyrene boxes, which is a really hazardous and hard thing to get rid of and usually costs money to get rid of," he said. Barry Armstead with his full-size replica of the famous Battlestar Galactica. Picture by Gary Ramage Throughout his journey, Mr Armstead received support from local craftspeople, industrial suppliers, and even the original Battlestar Galactica design team. "I've had a lot of help from a lot of people, because you get to certain stages where you go - you know what, this is just beyond me, and that's when you go to somebody else and you start outsourcing," Mr Armstead said. As he prepares to showcase the viper at the Canberra Knife Show, he hopes his story will inspire others to pick up their tools and build something lasting. "Knifemaking's about using your hands and manipulating steel and wood and making something beautiful and practical, and something that's going to last longer than you," Mr Armstead said. The replica will be on display at the annual Canberra Knife Show, held Sunday, December 1 from 10am to 3pm at the historic Cuppacumbalong Homestead.

Five people are on a growing list of candidates running to be the next chair of the Democratic National Committee, but one of them is getting a lot of attention: former Baltimore Mayor and Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley. At a time when the party is still reeling from losing the White House and both chambers of Congress, the next DNC chair will be tasked with leading Democrats out of some deep introspection and into action.

Vancouver’s plans to open a winter shelter Saturday next to an elementary school have ignited fear and anger among parents. The shelter will operate from 6:30 p.m. to 7 a.m., but parents are demanding 24/7 security. They also want those who seek shelter to undergo drug testing. If those measures aren’t possible, the parents argue the city should cancel the shelter’s opening. City officials are trying to address the shortage of winter shelters, which overflowed with people seeking refuge from the deadly cold during January’s ice storm. Just a few weeks ago, the city identified Vancouver’s arts hub, the former library building at 1007 E. Mill Plain Blvd., as a potential site for a warming shelter, said Jamie Spinelli, the city’s homeless response manager. She said once the city confirmed the building was usable, officials immediately notified the school next door, Vancouver Innovation, Technology and Arts Elementary. Still, parents say they felt blindsided by the school’s Dec. 3 announcement that the shelter would open just 11 days later. They expressed anger during a Friday PTA meeting with city staff. (The school principal turned The Columbian away from the meeting.) Parents reportedly yelled at city staff that the shelter poses a danger to their children. They said people with mental illness will wander onto campus, causing lockdowns, or that people will leave drug paraphernalia where children could find it. VITA parent Qing Zhou expressed his concerns to the Vancouver City Council at its Monday meeting. He told the council he has warned his 8-year-old daughter that fentanyl can look like candy and not to touch it if she finds it on campus. “She’s very scared,” Zhou said. “She told her mom that she doesn’t want to go to school for the next three months.” Shelter details At the PTA meeting, Spinelli said she told parents people can only enter the shelter once they’ve called a housing hotline operated by Council for the Homeless and undergone a background check that rules out sex offenders and people who recently committed violent crimes. Then, people can take the bus to the shelter, which has a stop directly in front of the building. The shelter will not let anyone in or out after 10 p.m. Once people leave the shelter at 7 a.m., staff from the city and Outsiders Inn, the nonprofit overseeing operation of winter shelters, will stick around until about 7:30 a.m. Parents said the city should have a uniformed police officer constantly patrolling the area. (The school does not have its own security, according to the district.) They also asked the city to test people entering the shelter for drugs and bar those who have been using them. The city does not plan to take either of those measures, Spinelli said. “I’ve been very clear that we will always reassess the situation,” she said. “And if something needs to change, something needs to change.” Outsiders Inn Executive Director Adam Kravitz said he was frustrated by comments at the PTA meeting: “That homeless people were generally dangerous, that homeless people did drugs and homeless people bring crime.” “That’s just not true,” he said. Most of the people in his shelter at St. Paul Lutheran Church are people with disabilities or older adults who struggle with daily activities. He’s seen many families with children use the winter shelters. Spinelli said the winter shelter next to VITA will prioritize families from the school, which has two students identified as homeless, according to the Washington Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction . After those families are served, the city will admit people according to vulnerability — including older adults, people with disabilities, single women and medically fragile people. Spinelli said she understands parents’ concerns. But the plans for the shelter came together within a matter of weeks, she said. “If I could have provided more notice, I would have, but that’s just what it’s like to respond to an emergency. You don’t often get to plan for them,” she said. Frostbite, power outages Washington’s winter is predicted to be colder and wetter than usual . The conditions for homeless people, including people living in their cars or RVs, were especially dangerous in January, Spinelli said. “I have seen more amputations due to frostbite this year than any other year in my career,” she said. Clark County’s shelter system was largely unprepared for the level of need that month . Faith leaders called The Columbian, shocked and overwhelmed by the number of people practically falling through their church doors. River City Church, which technically has capacity for 15 people overnight, let in about 300 people during the winter storm. Many arrived with frostbite . The Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office reported that one person died from hypothermia during last winter but did not specify whether that person was homeless. However, not all those who use warming shelters are homeless, Kravitz said. January’s nearly weeklong ice storm cut off power for tens of thousands of people in Clark County. Hundreds lost power for prolonged periods and had no heat during the freezing conditions. Others simply couldn’t afford to keep their heat running. “I really just want for everyone to be safe and secure, have a nice Christmas and get along,” Kravitz said. Change of heart VITA kindergarten parent Katelyn Robley said she was initially frustrated with the city for seeking a shelter next to the school. In interviews with multiple TV news stations, she questioned why the city chose the building, asked for more security and demanded more transparency from the city about the process. But listening to city staff at Friday’s PTA meeting eased Robley’s mind, she said. “I’ve had some time to digest it. I think a lot of people, their safety concerns were valid,” Robley said. “But hearing Jamie (Spinelli) speak, I just don’t feel the city bringing this to the area was with any malicious intent. ... Being divisive is not setting the best example for our kids.” She and other mothers reached out to Spinelli apologizing for the behavior of some parents at the meeting and asked how they could contribute to the shelter, especially during the holidays. (School lets out for winter break Dec. 20.) Robley now plans to attend the shelter opening on Saturday with her children. They’ll be holding welcome signs, she said. “This is something that’s happening,” she said. “We can choose to welcome the residents to the shelter ... with the kind of compassion we would want if we were in that situation.” This story was made possible by Community Funded Journalism , a project from The Columbian and the Local Media Foundation .

With Salah on the right providing a blizzard of goals, Brazil's Roberto Firmino providing silky touches allied to moments of genius through the centre and beyond, plus Sadio Mane delivering selfless brilliance and menace on the left, Liverpool swept up the major prizes. The trio provided the Reds' adaptable, unstoppable spearhead – and now head coach Arne Slot's Liverpool machine has a new three-dimensional threat with echoes of the silver-lined past. Salah is the kingpin, his goal in the 5-0 thrashing of West Ham United racking up another remarkable number as it was his 20th goal in all competitions this season, a figure he has now reached in all of his eight seasons at Liverpool. Salah's goal and assist means he has now been involved in 52 goals in all competitions in 2024 – 29 goals and 23 assists - which is more than any other player in Europe's big five leagues. He has also scored and assisted in eight different Premier League games this season, already the most any player has achieved in a single campaign. "Mo and the word 'extraordinary' is something I have heard a lot over the last six months and he deserves that," said Slot. "He also works so hard for the team." Salah may be the headline act these days, but he is not working alone as Liverpool cut a swathe through the Premier League, where they have an eight-point lead going into 2025, and Champions League, where they also head the table in this season's new format. With Firmino and Mane now elsewhere, Slot has teamed Salah up with two potent allies – inherited from Klopp - who are increasingly making this look a season when the Premier League title returns to Anfield. All three of them scored in the thumping victory at London Stadium. Luis Diaz, who netted twice in the 6-3 win at Tottenham seven days before this West Ham rout, set them on their way. A player who was signed and utilised as a wide player when he arrived from Porto in January 2022, Slot now has the Colombian working the central areas to great effect, perhaps without Firmino's elegance but with real impact, especially as his finishing has become more reliable. And, on the left, the rangy, dangerous Cody Gakpo has found his natural home, a position where he was one of the stars of Euro 2024 for the Netherlands, a scorer and creator, with an ability to come in off the flank making decisive contributions while also showing a natural finisher's eye. Diaz's natural attraction to the wide areas also increases Liverpool's options in attack – but what makes them so dangerous is that Salah, Diaz and Gakpo are such a natural fit; three high-class operators tuned in to the same wavelength. When Liverpool won the Premier League in 2019-20, Klopp's front three barely changed throughout - Firmino played a part in all 38 matches, while Mane made 35 appearances and Salah 34. However, the numbers suggest they were nowhere near as potent as this new-look forward line. After 18 matches Gakpo, Diaz and Salah already have 30 goals between them, compared to 46 by the title-winning front three. On average, their shot conversion and big chance conversion rates are superior too. Individually, however, there are some noticeable differences... On the left, Gakpo's five goals - coming at one goal every 180 minutes - is down on Mane's, although he is lethal when presented with a big chance. Down the middle, Diaz is much more clincal and scoring at a faster rate than Firmino, but is providing fewer assists. And, on the right, Salah is just playing better than ever. His 19 goals and 10 assists compares favourably to the 17 goals and 13 assists he managed during the entire title-winning campaign. It then comes down to longevity. While their stats stack up over half a season, the 245 goals Salah, Mane and Firmino shared during the five years they spent together at Anfield is nothing short of remarkable. While it is too soon to put the trio in the same bracket as Salah, Firmino and Mane, there is no doubting the stunning contribution they have made to Liverpool's remorseless first season under Slot as they race clear at the top of the Premier League, with only one defeat in 18 games. And, as if they do not give opponents, not just those as truly abysmal as West Ham United, enough to worry about, Slot can also introduce the man who is arguably Liverpool's most clinical finisher. Diogo Jota proved this point with the final goal after Diaz, Gakpo and Salah provided the platform to establish a 3-0 lead by half-time. "If you see the goals shared around it is pleasing to see," added Slot. "If you only have one player scoring goals that's not helpful but it is always good to have someone scoring a lot of goals. "It was not only who scores the goals, it was the lead up to the goals that was positive, too."Issa brothers closing in on £13bn New York listing By CITY & FINANCE REPORTER Updated: 21:52, 29 December 2024 e-mail 1 View comments The billionaire Issa brothers are eyeing a £13billion US listing for their petrol station empire, in a fresh snub for London.
