technique sa fortune gems Vulnerable children at the SOS Children’s Village in Stony Hill, St Andrew and the Bethlehem Home in downtown Kingston, operated by Missionaries of the Poor, received quite a festive surprise this holiday season from the British High Commission in Jamaica. High Commissioner Judith Slater, along with a few members of her team, delivered gifts and monetary donations to support the well-being of the children on two separate days. Many of these children face significant challenges, including disabilities or being orphaned. The donations, raised through the generosity of the High Commission’s staff, are part of the Commission’s ongoing commitment to uplifting Jamaica’s youth, particularly those most in need. High Commissioner Slater praised the dedication of both organisations, commending their invaluable and phenomenal work. “This donation is about more than just giving gifts. It is about fostering hope and supporting the future leaders of Jamaica. The British High Commission and the UK Government remain deeply committed to Jamaica’s national development and the bright future of its children,” she said. This year marked a special milestone for the High Commission’s team, as they expanded their outreach to include a visit to the Bethlehem Home. It was chosen on the advice of one staff member, who shared her personal connection to the home, reflecting on the care and kindness she received there as a child. The visits were warmly received by both homes, with heartfelt gratitude expressed by staff and children alike. At the Bethlehem Home, Brother Prem Sagar Peram and his team celebrated the occasion by singing Christmas carols and playing musical instruments for the visiting High Commission team. Brother Prem shared his appreciation for the gesture, noting “It has been some time since we’ve welcomed a High Commissioner, and we are truly thankful for this visit. We look forward to continued collaboration.” The High Commission reaffirms its dedication to fostering social responsibility, strengthening ties with the Jamaican community, and making a lasting impact on the lives of those who need it the most. -30-

In the aftermath of the game, debates raged on social media and sports channels, with pundits dissecting the incident from all angles. Some argued that the referee's decision was a clear case of inconsistency and incompetence, highlighting the need for greater clarity and transparency in the VAR process. Others defended the referee's call, pointing to the subjective nature of refereeing decisions and the need to respect the on-field officials.SAN ANTONIO − Tonight’s game between Colorado and BYU in the Alamo Bowl might be the most attractive college football bowl game that is not part of the College Football Playoff. Count the reasons: It’s a prime-time Saturday night game on ABC. It features the reigning Heisman Trophy winner from Colorado, Travis Hunter . It also features flamboyant Colorado coach Deion Sanders and his son Shedeur, who might be the top quarterback selected in the NFL draft in April. This will be their last game together in college − the Buffaloes (9-3) vs. the Cougars (10-2), two Big 12 Conference teams on opposite sides of the Rocky Mountains who haven’t played each other since the Freedom Bowl in 1988. Shedeur Sanders, Colorado’s quarterback, ranks first nationally in completion percentage (74.2%) and will face a BYU defense that finished the regular season tied for first nationally in passes intercepted (20). Like Shedeur, Hunter also will play the game under a massive insurance policy to protect him in case he’s injured. Because he plays on offense and defense, Hunter’s injury risk is essentially doubled, adding to the drama tonight after so many other top NFL prospects opted not to play in bowl games to avoid any injury risk that could hurt their future earnings. Will this bowl game be worth it for Hunter and Shedeur Sanders? We’re about to find out.

One-Sided 'Comedy': Media Watchdog Finds Almost 100% of Late Night TV Election Jokes Targeted Trump

ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) — Croatia’s incumbent President Zoran Milanovic won most of the votes in the first round of a presidential election on Sunday, but must face a runoff against a ruling party candidate to secure another five-year term. With nearly all of the votes counted, left-leaning Milanovic won 49% while his main challenger Dragan Primorac, a candidate of the ruling conservative HDZ party, trailed far behind with 19%. Pre-election polls had predicted that the two would face off in the second round on Jan. 12, as none of the eight presidential election contenders were projected to get more than 50% of the vote. Milanovic thanked his supporters but warned “this was just a first run.” “Let’s not be triumphant, let’s be realistic, firmly on the ground,” he said. “We must fight all over again. It’s not over till it’s over.” Milanovic is an outspoken critic of Western military support for Ukraine in its war against Russia. He is often compared to Donald Trump for his combative style of communication with political opponents. The most popular politician in Croatia, 58-year-old Milanović has served as prime minister in the past. Populist in style, he has been a fierce critic of current Prime Minister Andrej Plenković and continuous sparring between the two has lately marked Croatia’s political scene. Plenković, the prime minister, has sought to portray the vote as one about Croatia’s future in the EU and NATO. He has labeled Milanović “pro-Russian” and a threat to Croatia’s international standing. “The difference between him and Milanović is quite simple: Milanović is leading us East, Primorac is leading us West,” he said. Though the presidency is largely ceremonial in Croatia, an elected president holds political authority and acts as the supreme military commander. Milanović has criticized the NATO and European Union support for Ukraine and has often insisted that Croatia should not take sides. He has said Croatia should stay away from global disputes, though it is a member of both NATO and the EU. Milanović has also blocked Croatia’s participation in a NATO-led training mission for Ukraine, declaring that “no Croatian soldier will take part in somebody else’s war.” His main rival in the election, Primorac, has stated that “Croatia’s place is in the West, not the East.” His presidency bid, however, has been marred by a high-level corruption case that landed Croatia’s health minister in jail last month and featured prominently in pre-election debates. During the election campaign, Primorac has sought to portray himself as a unifier and Milanović as divisive. Primorac was upbeat despite such a big defeat in the first round. “I know the difference (in votes) at first sight seems very big,” said Primorac, who insisted that the center-right votes had split among too many conservative candidates. “Now we have a great opportunity to face each other one on one and show who stands for what,” he said. Sunday’s presidential election is Croatia’s third vote this year, following a parliamentary election in April and the European Parliament balloting in June.The rise of Mao Geping on the stock market also highlights the shift in consumer preferences towards supporting local brands and products.

Section 144 imposed at MDCAT centres todayRAHWAY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 22, 2024-- Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, has been notified that TRC Capital Investment Corporation (TRC Capital) has commenced an unsolicited “mini-tender” offer, dated November 12, 2024, to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of Merck common stock at $96.38 per share. The offer price is approximately 4.32% below the closing price of the Merck common stock on November 11, 2024 ($100.73), the last trading day before the date of the offer, and approximately 3.48% below the closing price of the Merck common stock on November 21, 2024 ($99.86), the day prior to this release. Merck does not endorse TRC Capital’s offer and recommends that Merck shareholders reject the offer and not tender their shares in response to TRC Capital’s unsolicited mini-tender offer. This mini-tender offer is at a price below the closing price for Merck’s shares (as of the day prior to this release) and is subject to numerous conditions, including TRC Capital’s ability to obtain financing. Merck is not associated in any way with TRC Capital, its mini-tender offer or the offer documentation. TRC Capital has made similar unsolicited mini-tender offers for shares of other publicly traded companies. Mini-tender offers seek to acquire less than 5% of a company's outstanding shares. This lets the offering company avoid many of the disclosure and procedural requirements the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires for tender offers. As a result, mini-tender offers do not provide investors the same level of protections as provided by larger tender offers under U.S. federal securities laws. On its website , the SEC advises that the people behind mini tender-offers “frequently use mini-tender offers to catch shareholders off guard” and that investors “may end up selling at below-market prices.” The SEC's website also contains important tips for investors regarding mini-tender offers. Like TRC Capital’s other offers, this one puts individual investors at risk because they may not realize they are selling their shares at a discount. Merck urges shareholders to obtain current stock quotes for their shares of Merck common stock, to review the terms and conditions of the offer, to consult with their brokers or financial advisers, and to exercise caution with respect to TRC Capital’s mini-tender offer. Merck shareholders who have already tendered are advised they may withdraw their shares by following the procedures for withdrawal described in the TRC Capital offer documents prior to the expiration of the offer, which is currently scheduled for 11:59 a.m. EST on December 11, 2024. Merck encourages brokers, dealers, and other investors to review the SEC’s letter regarding broker-dealer mini-tender offer dissemination and disclosure. Merck requests that a copy of this news release be included with all distribution of materials related to TRC Capital’s offer for shares of Merck common stock.

So mark your calendars, sharpen your zanpakuto, and get ready for the exhilarating journey that awaits in "Bleach: Soul Awakening." The battle for the Soul Society is about to reach new heights, and with Sosuke Aizen in the mix, anything can happen. Don't miss out on this epic chapter in the saga of Ichigo Kurosaki and his quest to protect those he holds dear.The small modular nuclear reactor proposed by Appalachian Power on the James River in Campbell County, about 10 miles from Lynchburg, has received strong support from elected officials in central Virginia. At the recent “Pancakes and Policy” event sponsored by the Lynchburg Regional Business Alliance, state Sen. Mark Peake, R-Lynchburg, said “thank goodness we have APCo.” Appalachian Power, a subsidiary of Columbus, Ohio-based American Electric Power, estimates the SMR will need 140 people to run the plant once it begins operating. The project also is expected to create between 300 and 600 jobs during its construction phase. Del. Eric Zehr, R-Campbell, who represents the Joshua Falls area of Campbell County where the nuclear project would be located, and Del. Wendell Walker, R-Lynchburg, also have said they support Appalachian Power’s decision to move forward with the SMR project. “That’s going to be the future,” Walker said at the “Pancakes and Policy” event about SMR technology. If all goes as planned, the nuclear plant will be built on a portion of 670 acres along the James River that Appalachian Power has owned since 1977. Most of the acreage is located in Campbell County; 60 acres is located in Appomattox County. The site includes a 765-kilovolt substation and nearby roadways that can support moving the necessary equipment onsite. The Joshua Falls property is a short distance from where BWX Technologies and Framatome each have operations on Mt. Athos Road off U.S. 460. An SMR has yet to enter commercial operation in the U.S. In fact, the proposed SMR at Joshua Falls and others proposed across the U.S. are still many years away from coming online. Globally, there are only three operating SMRs: two in Russia and one in China. A fourth SMR is under construction in Argentina. AEP, owner of electric utility companies in 11 states, decided to choose Virginia for its first SMR because of projected increases in demand for electricity in the state. Electricity demand growth in Virginia in the coming years is likely to be driven by the construction of more data centers in the state. Northern Virginia is the largest data center market in the world. Listen now and subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | RSS Feed | SoundStack | All Of Our Podcasts While elected officials in the Lynchburg area generally support the construction of a new nuclear power plant in the region, not all are in favor of how Appalachian Power plans to pay to develop it. During its 2024 session, the General Assembly passed a bill, HB 1491, that will allow Appalachian Power to seek approval from utility regulators at the State Corporation Commission in Richmond to charge customers for the costs of developing the SMR. Before the bill's final approval, Gov. Glenn Youngkin amended it by capping the annual cost recovery at $25 million and the total project development cost recovery at $125 million for Appalachian Power. The amendments were intended to address concerns about the bill's impact on ratepayers. The bill received strong bipartisan support, including from most elected officials in the Lynchburg area. Among its opponents was Sen. Creigh Deeds, D-11th District, who represents Amherst and Nelson counties. Deeds, who supports the use of nuclear power, especially due to its role in reducing carbon emissions, said he voted against the bill because he opposes passing on the risk of the SMR project to Appalachian Power's ratepayers instead of the company's shareholders. “The ratepayer is the taxpayer, and you’ve got to be very careful about the rates,” Deeds told The News & Advance. A similar bill, introduced by Sen. Dave Marsden, a Democrat from Northern Virginia, to allow Dominion Energy to request permission to recover SMR development cost also easily passed the General Assembly in the spring. SMRs might be small but they are not cheap. In 2023, Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems, a group of local electric utilities in the western U.S., agreed to terminate a project to build what would have been the first SMR project in the U.S. due to rising costs. At the time it was canceled, the project in Idaho, subsidized by U.S. taxpayers, would have cost an estimated $9 billion to build. Appalachian Power said it plans to seek a share of $900 million in U.S. Department of Energy grant funding for SMRs to help reduce the cost of the project for its Virginia customers. Walker said the development of SMRs will benefit ratepayers in the long term. “It may not happen right away. You've got to invest the money to build the product,” he said at an open house hosted by Appalachian Power in Lynchburg in early December. “But we're also very mindful of the ratepayers." Walker said he feels comfortable with the development cost of the SMR because it is “a smart and a wise investment, certainly something that's going to help take care of our future needs.”
