ROCKVILLE, Md. – My sister told me not to gloat. But Democrats are eating a giant helping of crow since voters delivered a stunning victory to Donald Trump after spending months – years, really – claiming he was a racist, a wannabe dictator, Adolf Hitler and a threat to democracy. Somehow this racist dictator was able to assemble a new coalition of black, Hispanic, middle-class and working-class voters. Maybe it’s because nobody wants to live in the kind of country that the Biden-Harris administration and its leftist bedfellows were creating. Voters rejected the lax border measures championed by Joe Biden and the incompetent man supposedly in charge of homeland security, Alejandro Mayorkas. Turns out even people in blue America don’t like it when their groceries cost more and they feel less safe. I must admit I had misgivings about Trump and his election denial after January 6th, but Nancy Pelosi’s hijacking of the House’s special investigating committee shifted my perspective. There was no world in which Trump could have come out of that committee without being scarred. So why did she have to overreach? It didn’t seem fair. And the ensuing lawfare waged against him only strengthened my support for him, and my feeling that there was nothing the opposition wouldn’t do to get him. The negativity spread to the mainstream media, where coverage of Trump was wildly slanted. Even the owner of The Washington Post warned that the media was losing the trust of its audience. Seniors get their news from cable and young people get it from podcasts and social media. Trump’s freewheeling three-hour interview with Joe Rogan helped him capture that vote. Kamala Harris evaded the Rogan invitation. She was a terrible candidate, and the conga line of celebrities her campaign relied on couldn’t obscure that fact. Some of the same Democrats who tried to tell us Biden wasn’t in decline then tried to tell us Harris was an exciting, transformative force. Please. Trump, hardened and informed by his first cabinet selections, has moved with warp speed to assemble his cabinet. Some of his most controversial picks may be intended to scare some deep state bureaucrats into resigning. Matt Gaetz did not make it even to a committee hearing. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard will need to pass Senate scrutiny, but compared with the clown show Biden assembled, they look mainstream. Trump is pressing for recess appointments. A bad idea. The Senate has the role of advise and consent. It can weed out some of the more troublesome picks, and Trump will be better for it. Republicans will have the Senate majority. No qualified candidate will be denied. The federal government is like a house filled with mould that needs a good cleaning. Trump will take care of it. When Covid came, the government was sent home, where many employees remain. He could order everyone to come back to the office full time, and 20% of the workforce would refuse and be gone. Will anyone notice? I doubt it. Trump promises a return to common sense and has been given the tools to accomplish it with an electoral mandate and all three branches of government on his side. He cannot squander it. He must not get bogged down in petty disputes and perceived slights. Our cities need to be safe again, our border secure and our country energy independent. Our elections need to be fair and incorruptible from foreign influence. The United States of America is the strongest and best country in the world. We demean ourselves when we are not at our full potential. Biden and Harris have left a huge mess. Trump is the right choice to fix it. There are things he can do right away to make a difference: close the border, eliminate regulations, end the war on fossil fuels and cancel EV mandates. No matter how maddening Trump can be, the country needs him. The wind is truly at his back. The election was decided not just by MAGA rallygoers but also by millions of voters who’d simply had enough. He should move forward without rancour or grievance, fuelled by the joy of the Trump Shuffle, his robot-like dance that has broken out at UFC fights and across the NFL. I’m going to have the younger members of the family teach it to Maureen on Thanksgiving. As I ease into my twilight years, I want to thank Trump for letting me sleep safely and soundly again.

"Creating this pilot is a vision we have had since we founded the company and a mission we set out to accomplish. Now, we have validated this scale-up. We are already testing brines and extracting lithium. We are well on our way to making energy more efficient and more abundant!” The aqueous reservoirs in North America and Europe contain lithium in low concentrations that, until now, were not viable to extract. Litus LiNC is so efficient and effective it selectively harvests lithium from these sources with unmatched results. With recovery rates of 99.5%, and rejection rates of 90%, and in brines as low as 30 ppm, Litus LiNC extracts lithium from brines previously deemed uneconomical, unlocking new energy sources in North America and Europe. The Litus pilot is a plug-and-play modular unit integrating with systems already in place. Infrastructure requirements are low, and minimal water and energy are needed, for an environmental approach to lithium extraction that leaves the existing ecosystem intact. With Litus LiNC, the patented nanomaterial composites extract lithium in a matter of hours, creating a product so pure it does not require additional processing and can be sent directly to battery production plants. The pilot is designed to be transported on-site and is designed to be easily scaled up to commercial level. Litus LiNC is a low-cost, low-risk opportunity, making it easy to break even when lithium prices drop. And when lithium prices are high, Litus LiNC provides a very lucrative revenue stream. The nanotechnology behind the Litus solution is an advanced formula that is custom-made for each brine. At a time when supply chains are uncertain, Litus ensures access to its nanotechnology material and can now produce up to 5kgs per day. Litus has recently been recognized on the world stage: For more information, contact Litus at [email protected] .

Equity has signed a trade credit financing agreement with BpiFrance, the public investment bank of France, to strengthen support for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) across Kenya and the broader East African region. The partnership was signed and unveiled during French Week 2024, jointly organized by the French Chamber of Commerce and the French Embassy in Kenya, which culminated in the business networking event, ‘Inspire and Connect East Africa’. The partnership will provide SME investors with financing options in both US dollars and Kenya shillings, enabling them to scale their operations across the six countries where Equity operates. Dr. James Mwangi, Equity Group Managing Director and CEO, highlighted the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)’s significance in bridging the financing gap for SMEs and fostering trade links between Kenya, France and Europe at large. “This agreement creates a bridge between Equity and France to facilitate trade between Europe and Africa, empowering SMEs to expand and transition into large enterprises and corporates. There is a component of doing trade finance together, opening lines of credit, and crafting guarantees together as a joint initiative to facilitate customers to grow their businesses,” said Dr. Mwangi, emphasizing the strategic role of Nairobi as a financial hub for East and Central Africa in enhancing Kenya’s influence in regional economic integration. BpiFrance CEO, Nicolas Dufourcq, describing Africa as “the continent of the future”, underscored France’s position as a key investor in Kenya, particularly in sectors such as agriculture, fintech and renewable energy. He lauded the agreement as a gateway for fostering trade, technology transfer, and local entrepreneurship. We have various partners in West and North Africa and have now signed an agreement with Equity, whom we are going to partner with in co-financing the business community in East Africa. We aim to act as a Franco-African trade bridge, facilitating the flow of capital, technology and entrepreneurship between Europe and Africa, said Dufourcq. This collaboration aligns with Kenya’s recently enacted Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the European Union, granting Kenyan exporters duty-free access to 27 EU member states, including France, Germany and Italy. By leveraging this framework, the Equity-BpiFrance partnership is expected to catalyze job creation, economic growth and trade opportunities for Kenyan businesses in the trillion-dollar European market. Through this partnership, Equity will de-risk investments for French companies venturing into Africa, providing syndicated loans in both local and foreign currencies. Dr. Mwangi expressed optimism that Equity’s growing presence in French-speaking regions, such as the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and parts of the diaspora, will strengthen ties with French businesses and attract European investments. We want European companies to invest in Africa, bringing their technology, capital and entrepreneurship to foster local manufacturing and reduce the export of raw materials, which in turn will support job creation for our people, said Dr. Mwangi. Equity is aligning its Africa Recovery and Resilience Plan (ARRP) with such partnerships and others like the recently launched German Desk to support European businesses entering East Africa while fostering local business and job growth. The partnerships with BpiFrance and the German Desk demonstrate Equity's commitment to positioning Africa as an investment destination while driving sustainable development and economic growth across the continent, Dr. Mwangi added. As Equity seeks to deepen its influence across East and Central Africa, these strategic partnerships signal a renewed focus on bridging international markets with local opportunities for our clients and members, ultimately transforming lives and businesses, which is Equity’s main purpose.", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "The New Times" }, "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The New Times", "url": "https://www.newtimes.co.rw/", "sameAs": ["https://www.facebook.com/TheNewTimesRwanda/","https://twitter.com/NewTimesRwanda","https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuZbZj6DF9zWXpdZVceDZkg"], "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "/theme_newtimes/images/logo.png", "width": 270, "height": 57 } }, "copyrightHolder": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The New Times", "url": "https://www.newtimes.co.rw/" } }Published 5:19 pm Sunday, November 24, 2024 By Data Skrive The outings on the Monday college basketball lineup for which we have suggested picks against the spread include the Memphis Tigers taking on the UConn Huskies at Lahaina Civic Center.

Finau denies LIV talkNEW ORLEANS (AP) — The largest artificial intelligence data center ever built by Facebook’s parent company Meta is coming to northeast Louisiana, the company said Wednesday, bringing hopes that the $10 billion facility will transform an economically neglected corner of the state. Republican Gov. Jeff Landry called it “game-changing” for his state’s expanding tech sector, yet some environmental groups have raised concerns over the center’s reliance on fossil fuels — and whether the plans for new natural gas power to support it could lead to higher energy bills in the future for Louisiana residents. Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s AI startup, xAI, is expanding its existing supercomputer project in Memphis, Tennessee, the city’s chamber of commerce said Wednesday. The chamber also said that Nvidia, Dell, and Supermicro Computer will be “establishing operations in Memphis,” without offering further details. Louisiana is among a growing number of states offering tax credits and other incentives to lure big tech firms seeking sites for energy-intensive data centers. The U.S. Commerce Department found that there aren’t enough data centers in the U.S. to meet the rising AI-fueled demand, which is projected to grow by 9% each year through 2030, citing industry reports. RELATED COVERAGE Takeaways from the Supreme Court arguments on transgender health care ban: Conservatives skeptical Tennessee governor repays trip after ethics panel finds a group shouldn’t have covered it Supreme Court seems likely to uphold Tennessee’s ban on medical treatments for transgender minors Meta anticipates its Louisiana data center will create 500 operational jobs and 5,000 temporary construction jobs, said Kevin Janda, director of data center strategy. At 4 million square feet (370,000 square meters), it will be the company’s largest AI data center to date, he added. “We want to make sure we are having a positive impact on the local level,” Janda said. Congressional leaders and local representatives from across the political spectrum heralded the Meta facility as a boon for Richland parish, a rural part of Louisiana with a population of 20,000 historically reliant on agriculture. About one in four residents are considered to live in poverty and the parish has an employment rate below 50%, according to the U.S. census data. Meta plans to invest $200 million into road and water infrastructure improvements for the parish to offset its water usage. The facility is expected to be completed in 2030. Entergy, one of the nation’s largest utility providers, is fast-tracking plans to build three natural gas power plants in Louisiana capable of generating 2,262 megawatts for Meta’s data center over a 15-year period — nearly one-tenth of Entergy’s existing energy capacity across four states. The Louisiana Public Service Commission is weighing Entergy’s proposal as some environmental groups have opposed locking the state into more fossil fuel-based energy infrastructure. Meta said it plans to help bring 1,500 megawatts of renewable energy onto the grid in the future. Louisiana residents may ultimately end up with rate increases to pay off the cost of operating these natural gas power plants when Meta’s contract with Entergy expires, said Jessica Hendricks, state policy director for the Alliance for Affordable Energy, a Louisiana-based nonprofit advocating for energy consumers. “There’s no reason why residential customers in Louisiana need to pay for a power plant for energy that they’re not going to use,” Hendricks said. “And we want to make sure that there’s safeguards in place.” Public service commissioner Foster Campbell, representing northeast Louisiana, said he does not believe the data center will increase rates for Louisiana residents and views it as vital for his region. “It’s going in one of the most needed places in Louisiana and maybe one of the most needed places in the United States of America,” Foster said. “I’m for it 100%.” Environmental groups have also warned of the pollution generated by Musk’s AI data center in Memphis. The Southern Environmental Law Center, among others, says the supercomputer could strain the power grid, prompting attention from the Environmental Protection Agency. Eighteen gas turbines currently running at xAI’s south Memphis facility are significant sources of ground-level ozone, better known as smog, the group said. Patrick Anderson, an attorney at the law center, said xAI has operated with “a stunning lack of transparency” in developing its South Memphis facility, which is located near predominantly Black neighborhoods that have long dealt with pollution and health risks from factories and other industrial sites. “Memphians deserve to know how xAI will affect them,” he said, “and should have a seat at the table when these decisions are being made.” _____ Sainz reported from Memphis, Tennessee.

Supreme Court sounds wary of halting youth transgender care ban

AP Top 25: Alabama, Mississippi out of top 10 and Miami, SMU are in; Oregon remains unanimous No. 1

TEHRAN - Shortly after I arrived in Iran, I visited Semnan province and the ancient post station there. I deeply felt that as early as more than 2,000 years ago, China and Iran were closely connected through the ancient Silk Road. At present, as an important country along the “Belt and Road”, Iran actively participates in the joint building of the “Belt and Road”. Many Iranian friends have strong interests in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and often discuss relevant topics with me. Therefore, I would like to introduce this important initiative. In the fall of 2013, President Xi Jinping proposed the joint building of the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, namely the BRI. This is a major initiative for international cooperation proposed by President Xi Jinping with an insightful grasp of the trend of the world and the future of mankind. President Xi Jinping pointed out that the BRI, drawing inspiration from the ancient Silk Road and focusing on enhancing connectivity, aims to enhance policy, infrastructure, trade, financial and people-to-people connectivity, inject new impetus into the global economy, create new opportunities for global development, and build a new platform for international economic cooperation. Over the past decade, Belt and Road cooperation has gone through a very extraordinary journey, not only making important achievements but also forming valuable experience. We have deeply realized that humankind is a community with a shared future, win-win cooperation is the sure way to success in launching major initiatives that benefit all, and the Silk Road spirit of peace and cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning and mutual benefit is the most important source of strength for Belt and Road cooperation. President Xi Jinping pointed out that Belt and Road cooperation is based on the belief that flame runs high when everyone adds wood to the fire and that mutual support can get us far. Such cooperation seeks to deliver a good life not only to people of just one country, but to people in other countries as well. It promotes connectivity, mutual benefit, common development, cooperation and win-win outcomes. The BRI is proposed by China for the benefit of the whole world. Over the past decade, Belt and Road cooperation has extended from the Eurasian continent to Africa and Latin America. More than 150 countries and over 30 international organizations have signed Belt and Road cooperation documents. We have held 3 sessions of the BRF before, and have established over 20 specialized multilateral cooperation platforms under the BRI. Belt and Road cooperation has progressed from “sketching the outline” to “filling in the details”, and blueprints have been turned into real projects. A large number of signature projects and “small yet smart” people-centered programs have been launched. Belt and Road cooperation has expanded from physical connectivity to institutional connectivity. Important guiding principles for high-quality Belt and Road cooperation have been laid down, which include the principle of “planning together, building together, and benefiting together”, the philosophy of open, green and clean cooperation, and the goal of pursuing high-standard, people-centered and sustainable cooperation. Over the past decade, we have endeavored to build a global network of connectivity consisting of economic corridors, international transportation routes and information highway as well as railways, roads, airports, ports, pipelines and power grids. Covering the land, the ocean, the sky and the Internet, this network has boosted the flow of goods, capital, technologies and human resources among countries involved and injected fresh vitality into the millennia-old Silk Road in the new era. In 2023, China’s trade with partner countries reached RMB 19.5 trillion, accounting for 46.6 percent of China's total import and export volume, a record high since the BRI was put forward. Belt and Road cooperation transcends differences between civilizations, cultures, social systems, and stages of development. It has opened up a new path for exchanges among countries, and established a new framework for international cooperation. Indeed, the BRI represents humanity’s joint pursuit of development for all. Iran has been an important transportation hub and trade distribution center on the Silk Road since ancient times, it is an important country for the joint building of the “Belt and Road”. Since the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding on jointly promoting the building of the “Belt and Road” in 2016, cooperation in various fields between the two sides has been continuously strengthened under the framework. China and Iran have leveraged economic complementarities, China has been Iran’s largest trading partner for many years, and has become the most important export destination for Iranian goods, and Iranian specialty agricultural products and handicrafts have entered the Chinese market one after another. The local delegations between two countries have great enthusiasm for cooperation, and cultural exchanges are becoming increasingly close. This year, the two countries have jointly held a number of cultural exchange activities such as the Iranian Cultural Relics Exhibition, the Chinese Art and Culture Exhibition, and the Chinese Film Week, which effectively enhanced the mutual understanding and friendship between the two peoples. This July, the first China-Europe train "Qom (Iran)-Yiwu West" was dispatched, which is a vivid example of the new progress for high-quality BRI cooperation between China and Iran. This October, in the meeting with President Masoud Pezeshkian, President Xi Jinping pointed out that Iran is a country with important regional and international influence and a good friend and partner of China. The strategic significance of China-Iran relations has become more prominent as transformations of the world unseen in a century are unfolding at a faster pace. No matter how the international and regional situation evolves, China will unswervingly develop friendly cooperation with Iran. China remain committed to opening up and cooperation for a shared future. We stands ready to work with all parties including Iran and support each other in enhancing the “hard connectivity” of infrastructure, upgrading the “soft connectivity” of rules and standards, and deepening the people-to-people connectivity through more exchanges and mutual learning, elevate Belt and Road cooperation toward higher quality for the modernization of all countries, and build an open, inclusive and interconnected world for common development.After Chinmoy Krishna Das, Bangladesh arrests another ISKCON priest Shyam Das Prabhu without warrant
