A museum curator hiked into a forest in Poland with a metal detector to search for some artifacts from the World Wars. Instead, he stumbled upon a 3,000-year-old weapon. Krzysztof Mindur planned to explore the forest in Zarszyn in hopes of finding items from World War I or II to add to his museum, the Museum of Military and Technology in Wola Sękowa, he told McClatchy News on Dec. 5. He founded the museum to combine his work as a professional soldier and his passion for researching military history. Mindur and other history enthusiasts tracked down a former battlefield in the Zarszyn forest after talking to those who remembered the fighting. Equipped with metal detectors, the group set out to search the area for the first time in late October. To his surprise, Mindur unearthed four fragments of a sword from the Bronze Age , he wrote in a post on his museum’s Facebook account. Photos show the ancient blue-green sword. The weapon dated back over 3,000 years and was a unique, priceless find, the Subcarpathian Voivodeship Conservator of Monuments in Przemyśl said in a Dec. 3 Facebook post. The ancient sword measured about 15 inches in length, but its point was missing. Its handle had a geometric design carved into it, photos show. The 3,000-year-old sword was sent to the Historical Museum in Sanok for further analysis, TVP3, a Polish news outlet, reported. The museum’s curator, Piotr Kotowicz, identified it as a raga type sword, a style typically found in Slovakia or Hungary, and a first-of-its-kind find for Poland. Officials with the Regional Directorate of State Forests in Krosno described the ancient sword as extraordinary in a Facebook post. Mindur said he never dreamed of finding such a historically valuable artifact. He plans to continue searching former WWII battlefields next year. Zarszyn is a village in southeastern Poland, a roughly 240-mile drive southeast from Warsaw and near the border with Slovakia and Ukraine. Google Translate was used to translate Facebook posts from the Museum of Military and Technology in Wola Sękowa, the Subcarpathian Voivodeship Conservator of Monuments in Przemyśl and the Regional Directorate of State Forests in Krosno, article from TVP3 and comments from Krzysztof Mindur.A new artificial intelligence tool from the nonprofit Digital Promise and ed-tech company Learning Innovation Catalyst (LINC) applies education research to generate different lesson plans for meeting the unique learning needs of each student. The AI-powered platform, , is informed by the (LVN), a web application that Digital Promise has maintained since 2017. LVN curates research-based strategies for building lesson plans that directly address factors that affect student learning, such as sleep, sense of belonging and speed of processing, among many others. In a webinar this week, Barbara Pape, senior director of the Learner Variability Project at Digital Promise, said such tailored lesson plans take a whole-child approach to teaching and learning. “We define learner variability as the recognition that each student, and also all of us, have a set of strengths and challenges across this whole-child framework that are interconnected and vary according to context,” Pape said in the webinar. “And when you understand learner variability, you see a design challenge, not a student problem, and that’s where we’re trying to move with all of this.” Yourway makes it easier for teachers to design custom instructional approaches that support the whole learner, according to Pape, who joined Dr. Cassondra Corbin-Thaddies, vice president of partner and client engagement at LINC, in the webinar this week. Megan Gross, an inclusive learning expert and former California Teacher of the Year, was part of the panel as well. “We know when student identities are seen and honored and valued in the classroom that students have the ability to cognitively attend and make growth and have an academic mindset, because they feel belonging,” Gross said in the webinar. Demonstrating Yourway, Corbin-Thaddies clicked on “AI Tools” and typed “LVN” in a search bar to surface learner variability options from the platform’s list of other AI-powered tools. Yourway is currently equipped to generate LVN-based lesson plans for students in preschool through 12th grade. Pape said they are working to add LVN models for math and 21st-century skills, such as peer collaboration and critical thinking. To generate an LVN-based lesson plan in Yourway, users must input information about the desired grade level, learning outcomes or topics for the lesson. The webinar offered this example of a learning outcome: “Students will be able to determine the meaning of grade-appropriate academic and domain-specific words or phrases in a text using context.” With this information entered, educators move on to a checklist of literacy skills necessary to achieve the desired learning outcome, such as vocabulary and alphabet knowledge, and select those that are challenges for the student. A second checklist requires the teacher to choose cognition factors the student might struggle with, such as attention or inhibition. From there, the user can click a button to generate the lesson plan or opt to provide more details, such as related documents or any standards to which the lesson should align. Two more optional checklists are available as well: one with background factors that can affect student learning, such as vision and primary language, and another that lists social and emotional learning factors, such as self-regulation and stereotype threat. Generating a lesson plan within seconds, Yourway fleshes out multiple teaching strategies and suggested resources for that particular student and learning outcome based upon inputs from the educator. The lesson plan shown in the webinar, for example, listed role-playing exercises as a teaching strategy that ties into social awareness and relationship skills, stating that the educator should “use scenarios that promote understanding and usage of key vocabulary in social interactions.” Teachers can continue to customize lesson plans by clicking the “Request Changes” button and adding prompts, such as “Give me examples of role-playing exercises that promote understanding and usage of key vocabulary in social interactions.” The platform then generates and adds this information to the lesson plan. “You have to now walk alongside the AI and check its work,” Corbin-Thaddies said in the webinar. “It’s a great starting point. The cognitive load has been lifted, and now we’re ready to get into design mode: What could this look like, what else could we add, how could this be stronger?” Educators can access the basic version of Yourway for free. Those who fill out a Digital Promise on their experience with the tool will receive six months of the professional version for free, Pape said in the webinar.
TORONTO — Everything changed for Kia Nurse when she tore her anterior cruciate ligament in the 2021 WNBA playoffs. The basketball star from Hamilton was locked in as starter for a team in the semifinals. She’d been selected as an all-star just two years prior. But in one awkward fall three years ago, she was plunged into the depths of surgery and rehab. Nurse would miss the entire 2022 season due to the injury. She signed with the Seattle Storm for the 2023 campaign before a trade landed her with the Los Angeles Sparks last season. Meanwhile, Nurse represented Canada at the Paris Olympics in August, but she struggled as the team failed to reach the knockout round for the second straight time. The common thread throughout Nurse’s recent basketball journey? She just hasn’t quite felt like herself. “I still love basketball with all of my heart, and it's my favourite thing that I get to do. And I'm so privileged to be able to say that I get to do it as a job,” Nurse said. "But the last two years for me have been just really rocky, up and down.” Nurse, 28, will become a WNBA free agent as of Feb. 1. For now, she’s continuing her Raptors broadcast work with TSN and, on Monday, announced a new playing gig. In February, Nurse will join fellow WNBAers Alysha Clark and Sydney Colson among 37 others for Athletes Unlimited’s third basketball season in Nashville. Athletes Unlimited was founded as a women’s professional softball league in 2020 before expanding to basketball, volleyball and lacrosse. Its 24-game hoops campaign switches teams weekly and concludes by crowning a season-long individual champion. Players earn points through a fantasy-style system that rewards team successes like wins as well as individual accomplishments from made three-pointers to steals to drawn fouls. Outside of the unique scoring system, the game looks like traditional basketball — a major appeal to Nurse as she attempts to tap back into her roots. “I am not proud of my performance at the Olympics and not necessarily proud of how I’ve been playing over the last two years. I just have goals of finding my true love of the game and kind of coming back and being stronger physically, being more fit and just ultimately having a good year,” Nurse said. When Nurse’s career began in 2018, many WNBA players would ply their trade overseas during the off-season as a way of staying in shape and making additional money. But over the past half-decade — and perhaps expedited by Brittney Griner’s 2022 detainment in Russia — more options have emerged stateside, including Athletes Unlimited. “The (WNBA) now has a lot of the teams that have practice facilities, so they have full-time player development, practice-facility access and that's a big piece as well. But now ultimately we have these leagues at home like AU,” Nurse said. Athletes Unlimited will not be the only professional women’s basketball operation in North America this winter. A three-on-three league called Unrivaled, founded by WNBA stars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, will tip off in January in Miami. Nurse said Unrivaled was an option for her, but she preferred Athletes Unlimited. “I wanted a place where I'm happy with basketball again, really happy with myself and how I'm playing and a having a little more confidence boost from what I've had over these last two years. And I feel like AU, for me, that five-on-five setting was a big piece of it,” Nurse said. The timing of the Athletes Unlimited schedule — deep enough into the WNBA off-season but with enough leeway to fine tune things before the 2025 campaign begins — also stood out to Nurse. Ahead of AU, Nurse said she moved her training from Toronto to Hamilton, where she could stay closer to home and avoid the long highway drives. And following two seasons in which Nurse’s WNBA teams suffered a combined 61 losses, she’s hoping to find a landing spot in free agency with a winning franchise. “I want to ... have an opportunity make a deep playoff run, be kind of like an X-Factor player, somebody who can go out there, be a three-and-D player, can help make winning plays,” she said. Nurse said she and fellow WNBA veteran Bridget Carleton have discussed what went wrong in Paris and how it can be fixed ahead of Los Angeles 2028. Management changes have already occurred with the retirement of GM Denise Dignard and a mutual parting with head coach Victor Lapena. The national team recently met up in Toronto for an informal training camp where Nurse and Carleton aimed to lay the groundwork for the culture they hope to create over the next four years. “Getting back to the basics and just enjoying playing for Canada Basketball, but also creating a really strong, bonded culture where everybody does what they need to do for our team to win," she said. "We understand our roles (and) we understand the commitment piece of it because now there's so much going on and people are all over the place." This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 22, 2024. Myles Dichter, The Canadian PressBillion peso mega real estate development announced for CancunThe latest climate summit has been as hypocritical and dysfunctional as every one before, with most world leaders not even bothering to turn up. Still, 50,000 people flew in from across the world, while essentially telling the rest of us to stop flying. Poor-country politicians performatively staged a "walk-out", and rich nations ended up promising a climate slush fund of US$300 billion (about 10 trillion baht) a year. This extravagant pay-off is unlikely to happen, just like previous fanciful pledges made over three decades of climate summits. While virtually every summit has promised to cut emissions, they've increased almost every year, and 2024 reached a new high. In 2021, the world promised to phase-down coal. Since then, coal consumption has only gone up. We need a different game plan -- and the decisive election of Donald Trump may upend these sanctimonious summits. Therein lies an opportunity for the world. Carbon emissions continue to grow because cheap, reliable power, mostly from fossil fuels, drives economic growth. Wealthy countries like the US and European Union members have started to cut emissions but the rest of the world remains focused on eradicating poverty. The rich world has tried to bribe the poor to agree to emission cuts, mainly by rebranding existing development aid. Unsurprisingly, rich countries paying lip service to the pay-offs has led to poor countries paying lip service to the climate pageantry, while actually driving economic growth with ever-more fossil fuels. Green campaigners insist that the global transition away from fossil fuels is unstoppable, yet over the past decade and even just last year, fossil fuel energy has increased twice as much as green energy. Even the Biden Administration's Energy Information Administration expects fossil fuels to increase all the way to 2050. Green politicians insist solar and wind are cheaper than fossil fuels, but this is only true when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing. In reality, such renewables need massive subsidies and redistributive taxes, which has driven up electricity costs in the EU by 50% since 2000, now costing each person over $300 extra annually. Recent years have seen politicians promising feverishly to cut even more carbon -- but the election of Donald Trump, who campaigned on pulling out of the Paris Agreement and scrapping renewable energy projects, means this bubble is bursting. And these troubles began even before Mr Trump's election. Despite an exuberant stock market in recent years, clean energy shares have lost half their value. After the US election, they immediately tumbled further, based on the expectation that subsidy spigots will be turned off in the US. The "net zero" green agenda, based on massive subsidies and expensive legislation, will likely cost $27 trillion per year across the century, making it utterly unattractive to most nations. Mr Trump will dump these policies. Without huge transfers of wealth, China, India and many other growing, developing countries will in effect disavow these policies, too. This leaves a rag-tag group mostly from the EU, which can scarcely afford their own policies but have no ability to pay off everyone else. Fortunately, there is a much better and cheaper way to tackle climate change. Climate economists have long shown that investment in green energy R&D is the most efficient approach. For just a tiny fraction of current, inefficient green spending, we could quintuple global green innovation to drive down the price of new technologies like better batteries and fourth-generation nuclear. Innovating the price of green energy below fossil fuels is the only way to get everyone to switch. This approach can even help convince policymakers who are sceptical about climate change because they see the vast potential in cheaper energy. A dose of realism could also end the elite's preoccupation with climate. The rich world faces many challenges: rapid aging, an urgent need for pension reform, growing healthcare costs, flatlining education results, and military threats. The trillions wasted on current climate policies could be much better spent. For the world's poorer half, problems of poverty, hunger, easily curable infectious diseases, and corruption need more attention, and they have incredibly cheap and effective solutions. Instead of the immense, and mostly poorly spent, climate bribes, this money could boost development across the global south. Climate campaigners can spend the next four years doubling down on policies that have failed for the past three decades and protesting the Trump Administration for its policy shift. Or they can use the opportunity to refocus on a smarter and much cheaper green innovation policy -- and address all the other urgent problems facing the world.

NonePHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Phillies have no plans to pitch prized prospect Andrew Painter in spring training games as he recovers from Tommy John surgery. The 21-year-old Painter hurt his elbow during spring training in 2023 and had surgery that July 25 with Los Angeles Dodgers head team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Painter was the 13th overall pick in the 2021 amateur draft and signed for a $3.9 million bonus. “He'll throw but not plan on pitching” in games, Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said Monday. “We're going to push the innings back.” Dombrowski said Painter will build up at some point in the minor leagues and could make his major league debut at some point in the summer. Painter made six starts and allowed four runs in the Arizona Fall League. He struck out 18 batters in 15 2/3 innings after he sat out each of the last two seasons. Painter sprinted through Philadelphia’s system in 2022, going 6-2 with a 1.48 ERA in 26 appearances spread across two Class A teams and Double-A Reading. AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLBIT WAS a day to forget for Cowes Sports and East Cowes Vics, but Newport continued their fine unbeaten run with a draw, despite the disappointment of conceding two goals late on. FLEETLANDS 2, NEWPORT 2 Newport maintained their sixth spot position with a useful point away at Fleetlands, a place below them in the Wessex League Division 1 table. But the Islanders will be kicking themselves they did not take all three points. After nine minutes, a Fleetlands defender deliberately handballed as Joe Butcher charged in on goal and was given a straight red card. Up against ten men, Newport took advantage of having the extra man. They went a goal up 15 minutes later — Butcher seeing his powerful shot go in, despite the keeper's best efforts, from a Ji Nash ball from the left. And just three minutes later, in the 26th, Brad Young found Nash, who finished well to make it 2-0 — Newport in control. Port continued to create plenty of chances throughout the second half, but unable to kill the game off. Newport made a couple of late substitutions with the aim of seeing out the game. But Fleetlands produced an unbelievable comeback with goals in the 84th and the second minute of injury time to leave Newport feeling like they had lost. The win would have seen them leapfrog East Cowes Vics into fifth, with a game in hand over two sides above them. FRIMLEY GREEN 4, EAST COWES VICS 1 This was a six-pointer at the top end of the table, where East Cowes Vics' indifferent recent form see them drop from top to fifth in Wessex League Division 1. It was a bad day at the office for Vics, but they started off well — giving nothing away in a tight first 25 minutes. But after Caleb Neale was sin-binned, Frimley Green took advantage of having the extra man by taking the lead in the 40th minute. Vics weren't able to hold on, conceding a second a minute before half-time. Going out with a lot of hard work ahead to rescue the game, Vics conceded a killer third in the 65th minute, with an uphill battle ahead. But in the 80th minute, Elliott Wheeler hit a screamer to pull it back to 3-1 and give the Islanders some hope. But five minutes later, Wheeler was sent off and Frimley's fourth soon followed, to make it a miserable trip home. HAMWORTHY RECREATION 8, COWES SPORTS 0 The Yachtsmen fell to their heaviest defeat of the season in what was a miserable Wessex Premier trip to Hamworthy. After Cowes keeper hauled down a home forward after ten minutes for a penalty, the game never took off for the Islanders — and it was 4-0 at half-time, with only their pride to play for in the second half. But even that maxim was snatched from the blues, who conceded four more. Whatever was said in the dressing room during the interval, made no difference to the shellshocked players, who conceded a minute after the restart. And with their heads down, Cowes conceded a sixth within two minutes of Hamworthy's fifth. After conceding the seventh in the 62nd minute, there was a concern it would stretch to double figures, but the sixth-placed hosts did not complete the scoring until the 89th minute. Cowes dropped to 15th place. ALL THE RESULTS Wessex League Premier: Hamworthy Recreation 8, Cowes Sports 0. Wessex League, Division 1: Frimley Green 4, East Cowes Vics 1; Fleetlands 2, Newport 2.

Kelly Loeffler, a former US Senator from Georgia and prominent business executive, has garnered significant attention for her wealth, political career, and involvement in a high-profile insider trading scandal. Here's an in-depth look at her age, net worth, family, and controversies. Born in Bloomington, Illinois, on November 27, 1970, Kelly Loeffler is 54 years old. She graduated with a degree in marketing from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1992 and later earned an MBA from DePaul University. Her early career saw her work with several financial firms, eventually leading to her rise in the corporate world. Loeffler's net worth is estimated to be approximately $1 billion , making her one of the wealthiest individuals in American politics. Her substantial fortune stems from her association with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), a financial services company founded by her husband, Jeffrey Sprecher. She joined ICE in 2002, rising to become head of marketing and communications. Loeffler received a reported $9 million payout upon leaving the company to join the US Senate, according to reports from Celebrity Net Worth . Loeffler and Sprecher reside in a 15,000-square-foot Atlanta mansion worth $10.5 million, the most expensive residential purchase in the city's history at the time. The couple also owns properties in Florida, Chicago, and Georgia. READ MORE: Quick Facts About Matt Gaetz: Is He A Lawyer, Net Worth, Wife, And Scandal With A Minor Kelly Loeffler married Jeffrey Sprecher in 2004. Sprecher, a businessman and billionaire, is the CEO of ICE, which owns the New York Stock Exchange. The couple has been a powerful force in the financial and political spheres, with Sprecher's role often complementing Loeffler's political ambitions. According to Times Now News , the duo met while Loeffler was working at ICE, and their partnership has been central to their financial and professional success. Loeffler was appointed to the US Senate in December 2019 by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, following Senator Johnny Isakson's resignation due to health issues. During her tenure, Loeffler positioned herself as a staunch ally of Donald Trump. She faced a challenging election in 2020, losing to Democratic candidate Raphael Warnock in a runoff. Notably, Loeffler pledged loyalty to Trump's efforts to contest the 2020 presidential election results but withdrew her objections following the January 6 Capitol attack, calling the violence "abhorrent," according to CNN . Despite her short tenure in the Senate, she played a prominent role in conservative politics and was considered a loyal supporter of Trump's agenda. Read More: Is Matt Gaetz Still Under Investigation? What To Know About His Sex Trafficking Scandal Loeffler's political career was marred by allegations of insider trading. Reports from Vox revealed that Loeffler and her husband sold approximately $20 million worth of stocks in early 2020 after receiving Senate briefings on the economic impact of COVID-19. These sales reportedly occurred before the stock market experienced significant downturns due to the pandemic. Although Loeffler denied any wrongdoing, the controversy raised questions about her integrity and use of privileged information for personal financial gain. The scandal became a focal point of her reelection campaign, damaging her reputation among voters. In addition to her political and financial pursuits, Loeffler co-owned the WNBA team Atlanta Dream . Her ownership faced backlash in 2020 when she criticised the league's support for the Black Lives Matter movement. Many players called for her removal, leading to public scrutiny over her stance on social justice issues. In November 2024, reports from CNN indicated that President-elect Donald Trump is considering Loeffler for the position of Secretary of Agriculture. Her ties to Trump's campaign and her fundraising efforts have solidified her position as a key ally in his circle. However, as with all Cabinet appointments, nothing is final until formally announced. Kelly Loeffler's journey from a financial executive to a US Senator and a potential Cabinet member illustrates a career marked by ambition, controversy, and influence. While her wealth and business acumen have made her a significant figure in politics, allegations of insider trading and her stance on social justice issues have sparked widespread debate about her legacy.Burt died over the weekend, the Crocosaurus Cove reptile aquarium in Darwin, Australia, said. He was at least 90 years old. “Known for his independent nature, Burt was a confirmed bachelor – an attitude he made clear during his earlier years at a crocodile farm,” Crocosaurus Cove wrote in social media posts. The aquarium added: “He wasn’t just a crocodile, he was a force of nature and a reminder of the power and majesty of these incredible creatures. While his personality could be challenging, it was also what made him so memorable and beloved by those who worked with him and the thousands who visited him over the years.” A saltwater crocodile, Burt was estimated to be more than 16 feet long. He was captured in the 1980s in the Reynolds River and became one of the most well-known crocodiles in the world, according to Crocosaurus Cove. The 1986 film stars Paul Hogan as the rugged crocodile hunter Mick Dundee. In the movie, American Sue Charlton, played by actress Linda Kozlowski, goes to fill her canteen in a watering hole when she is attacked by a crocodile before being saved by Dundee. Burt is briefly shown lunging out of the water. But the creature shown in more detail as Dundee saves the day is apparently something else. The Internet Movie Database says the film made a mistake by depicting an American alligator, which has a blunter snout. The Australian aquarium where Burt had lived since 2008 features a Cage of Death which it says is the nation’s only crocodile dive. It said it planned to honour Burt’s legacy with a commemorative sign “celebrating his extraordinary life and the stories and interactions he shared throughout his time at the park”.

Additional risks and uncertainties that could affect our financial results are included in the sections titled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024 filed on March 21, 2024 , our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2024 , which we expect to file on December 6, 2024 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and other filings that we make from time to time with the SEC. The forward-looking statements made in this press release relate only to events as of the date on which such statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this press release or to conform such statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by law. Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Metrics To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly-titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors' overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We present these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance using a management view, and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry. However, these non-GAAP measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, a substitute for, or superior to our GAAP results. Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share : We define these non-GAAP financial measures as the respective GAAP measures, excluding expenses related to stock-based compensation, employer payroll tax on employee stock transactions, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, fair value adjustments to strategic investments, acquisition-related expenses, lease-related impairment and lease-related charges, restructuring and other related charges, as these costs are not reflective of ongoing operations and, as applicable, other special items. The amount of employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions is dependent on our stock price and other factors that are beyond our control and do not correlate to the operation of the business. When evaluating the performance of our business and making operating plans, we do not consider these items (for example, when considering the impact of equity award grants, we place a greater emphasis on overall stockholder dilution rather than the accounting charges associated with such grants). We believe it is useful to exclude these expenses in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core business and to facilitate comparison of our results to those of peer companies and over multiple periods. In addition to these exclusions, we subtract an assumed provision for income taxes to calculate non-GAAP net income. We utilize a fixed long-term projected tax rate in our computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision to provide better consistency across the reporting periods. For fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025, we have determined the projected non-GAAP tax rate to be 20%. Free cash flow : We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available (if any), after purchases of property and equipment, for operational expenses, investment in our business, and to make acquisitions. Free cash flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash in excess of our capital investments in property and equipment. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth. Billings : We define billings as total revenues plus the change in our contract liabilities and refund liability less contract assets and unbilled accounts receivable in a given period. Billings reflects sales to new customers plus subscription renewals and additional sales to existing customers. Only amounts invoiced to a customer in a given period are included in billings. We believe billings can be used to measure our periodic performance, when taking into consideration the timing aspects of customer renewals, which represents a large component of our business. Given that most of our customers pay in annual installments one year in advance, but we typically recognize a majority of the related revenue ratably over time, we use billings to measure and monitor our ability to provide our business with the working capital generated by upfront payments from our customers. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

South Korea's political landscape is in disarray as People Power Party leader Han Dong-hun advocates for the suspension of President Yoon Suk Yeol following his controversial martial law declaration. This bold move increases the likelihood of Yoon's impeachment. Opposition parties are rallying for a parliamentary vote to impeach Yoon, labeling his martial law imposition as an 'unconstitutional rebellion or coup.' They need bipartisan backing to achieve the two-thirds majority required for impeachment. Han has cited grave risks posed by Yoon's continued leadership. Han, once a close collaborator of Yoon, now leads a faction opposing him. The situation has international ramifications, with foreign leaders expressing concern, while domestically, pressure mounts for swift political resolution.

Burt died over the weekend, the Crocosaurus Cove reptile aquarium in Darwin, Australia, said. He was at least 90 years old. “Known for his independent nature, Burt was a confirmed bachelor – an attitude he made clear during his earlier years at a crocodile farm,” Crocosaurus Cove wrote in social media posts. The aquarium added: “He wasn’t just a crocodile, he was a force of nature and a reminder of the power and majesty of these incredible creatures. While his personality could be challenging, it was also what made him so memorable and beloved by those who worked with him and the thousands who visited him over the years.” A saltwater crocodile, Burt was estimated to be more than 16 feet long. He was captured in the 1980s in the Reynolds River and became one of the most well-known crocodiles in the world, according to Crocosaurus Cove. The 1986 film stars Paul Hogan as the rugged crocodile hunter Mick Dundee. In the movie, American Sue Charlton, played by actress Linda Kozlowski, goes to fill her canteen in a watering hole when she is attacked by a crocodile before being saved by Dundee. Burt is briefly shown lunging out of the water. But the creature shown in more detail as Dundee saves the day is apparently something else. The Internet Movie Database says the film made a mistake by depicting an American alligator, which has a blunter snout. The Australian aquarium where Burt had lived since 2008 features a Cage of Death which it says is the nation’s only crocodile dive. It said it planned to honour Burt’s legacy with a commemorative sign “celebrating his extraordinary life and the stories and interactions he shared throughout his time at the park”.President Joe Biden caused a stir while doing some Black Friday shopping at a Nantucket bookstore. The outgoing president was spotted leaving the store with a book about the modern history of Palestinian “resistance” titled, The Hundred Years' War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonial Conquest and Resistance 1917-2017. Written by Columbia University professor emeritus and renowned Palestinian-American historian Rashid Khalidi, the book asserts that the modern history of Palestine “resistance” can “best be understood” as a “colonial war” to force an indigenous population “to relinquish their homeland to another people against their will.” Biden’s viral photo comes on the heels of a US-brokered cease-fire between Hezbollah and Israel announced Nov. 26 following months of criticism over de-escalation efforts. Biden declared, “The fighting across the Lebanese-Israeli border will end.” Although it is unclear whether Biden purchased the book for himself, Khalidi was less than impressed to see his book with the president. “Four years too late,” the author told the New York Post. Online, the photo was also politically panned. “Well that’s a bit late in the game to go through a tutorial,” wrote one X user. Scott Jennings, whose role as the reliably pro-Trump commentator in CNN panel discussions has provided no shortage of headline-making moments , has joined the editorial board of the Los Angeles Times , he announced Friday. “It’s true – I’ve accepted @DrPatSoonShiong invitation to join the editorial board of the @latimes,” Jennings, an alum of George W. Bush’s White House, wrote on X. “I plan to represent those Americans who believe they are often ignored or even ridiculed in legacy media and applaud Dr. Soon-Shiong’s move to bring balance to the editorial board.” Billionaire Times owner Soon-Shiong, who blocked the publication from endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, said Wednesday he intended to bring on Jennings as part of changes to the editorial board. (When asked about the planned move later, he reportedly grew “combative” with an interviewer.) Earlier this year, Jennings was widely criticized for calling Muslim-American Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) a “public relations agent for Hamas.” The downsides of the gym include the lingering smell, the wait for weights, and the nagging feeling that others might be silently judging your form or how much you’re lifting.

Rupert Grint, famous for playing Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films, has been ordered to pay the equivalent of around $2.3 million in back taxes, according to The Times . He had been originally ordered to pay the sum in 2019, after HMRC, the British tax-collecting agency, investigated his returns from the 2011 to 2012 tax year. A payment of about $5.7 million to Grint from a company that managed his business affairs for “consideration for rights, records and goodwill” for his work had raised investigators’ eyebrows because it was listed as a capital asset. HMRC, though, determined that it was actually income and should have been subject to a greater tax. Although Grint had attempted to fight the verdict in court, Judge Harriet Morgan decided against him, finding that “derived substantially the whole of its value from the activities of” Grint, meaning that it should have been taxed as income. Grint, who starred in all eight of the hit wizardry films between 2001 and 2011, earned around $30 million for his work with the franchise, per The Times . Joe Rogan hinted Thursday that he would be open to visiting Mar-a-Lago to record a second interview with Donald Trump for his hugely popular podcast—even though he was unwilling to travel for an interview with Kamala Harris ahead of the election. “Yeah, we have to. We helped Trump get elected,” Rogan told his guest, comedian Ari Shaffir, on Thursday when asked about the prospect of recording at the president-elect’s Florida resort. Shaffir suggested that the session could take place on Jan. 14, when his Netflix comedy special is set to release. “Can we get together?” Shaffir asked. “Trump’s obviously going to walk on,” he added, to which Rogan and comedian Shane Gillis enthusiastically agreed. “One hundred percent,” Rogan said. “He’s gonna walk on if we do Mar-a-Lago.” In late October, Rogan hosted Trump in his Austin, Texas, studio for a wide-ranging three-hour interview. While Harris, Trump’s Democratic opponent, also sought to share her message with Rogan’s massive audience—largely composed of young men—the podcaster said he would not do it unless she traveled to his studio. “I strongly feel the best way to do it is in the studio in Austin,” Rogan wrote on X in October. The interview never took place. There’s electric toothbrushes, and then there’s the AquaSonic Black Series Ultra Sonic Toothbrush .

Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle weren’t invited to the royal family’s Christmas gathering at Sandringham House, one of King Charles ’ countryside homes, a source told People on Friday. The pair haven’t attended the annual gathering since 2018, a few months after they married. The following year, they spent the holiday in Canada, and shortly afterward announced that they would “no longer be working members” of the royal family. Last year, the couple reportedly would have accepted an invitation if offered. In the Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan , Markle described a pleasant experience at her first Christmas at the estate in 2017. “I remember so vividly the first Christmas at Sandringham. Calling my mom, and she’s like, ‘How’s it going?’ And I said, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s amazing,’” she recalled . “It’s just like a big family like I always wanted. And there was just this constant movement and energy and fun.” The strained Harry-Charles relationship could be improved by a potential retirement by the king’s private secretary, Daily Beast founding editor Tina Brown wrote recently . Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky outlined his requirements for a peace deal with Russia on Friday. Asked to respond to President-elect Donald Trump ’s suggestion that Ukraine should cede territory, Zelensky told Sky News that if the North Atlantic Treaty Organization accepts Ukraine’s membership request, he will consider diplomatically negotiating Ukraine’s Russian-occupied territory at a later date. “If we want to stop the hot phase of the war, we need to take under the NATO umbrella the territory of Ukraine that we have under our control,” Zelensky said. “We need to do it fast. And then on the [occupied] territory of Ukraine, Ukraine can get them back in a diplomatic way.” The war in Ukraine has been ongoing since Russia invaded in February 2022. Trump has suggested that once he assumes office, he will be able to end the war in 24 hours. Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion star Mira Sorvino opened up about the status of a possible sequel. Sorvino, who starred alongside Lisa Kudrow in the hit 1997 comedy, said that the original cast is all set to return. “This is all pending, them making deals, them saying yes, but they’re all in there,” she said in an interview with People . Sorvino added that her and Kudrow are executive producers, and a director is already attached to the project. “But it’s not officially greenlit, so I can’t say that it’s officially greenlit,” she continued. The screenwriter of the original movie also returned with an “amazing funny script, which checks all the boxes for all the fans,” Sorvino said. The cult classic film follows two women who invent life stories to impress their classmates at their high school reunion. Sorvino said that there are “rumors of shooting [the sequel] second quarter next year.” An Australian actress and OnlyFans star opened up about her relationship with her step-brother, who she is pregnant to after the pair got married in Sept. 2023. Speaking on the UNCENSORED podcast, Scarlet Vas, who first became famous from starring in the Australian show Neighbours , talked about meeting now-husband Tayo Ricci when they were teenagers. Once their parents got together they became “family,” they said. However, that didn’t deter them from pursuing a relationship—or profiting from it on OnlyFans. Ricci said that while they make some step-sibling content, it’s not to “the standard that people would expect.” “I’m not gonna lie, when I was young, I fantasized about it. Yeah, it just felt so wrong until it felt right,” Ricci said on the podcast. Do you eat breakfast everyday? Be honest. It’s an easy meal to skip due to the morning rush.

Joe Biden ’s White House may soon face a mutiny from some of its alumni, but not for weighty issues like Israel’s war in Gaza . A contingent of former White House officials have been mulling a petition to the Biden administration over a lack of “departure photos,” the customary photos a president takes with outgoing staff and their families to honor their service, according to Politico. Biden had stopped doing the photos for months this year (perhaps dealing with other, potentially more pressing concerns), and when the White House did resume them this month, they only extended the offer to current staff—without the usual plus ones. It prompted a number of former staffers to air their grievances in a group chat, where the petition was considered. A White House official told Politico the group would soon be invited to get their “clicks” with Biden in the Oval Office, though it’s unclear when over the next two months. “The staffers who gave everything to this President,” a former official wrote to their old colleagues, according to Politico , " who missed anniversaries, birthdays, their own doctors appointments, knowing democracy itself was on the line, deserve at the very least a proper goodbye from the man who says he owes them everything.” An Alabama A&M University linebacker was pronounced dead this week after he suffered a head injury during a game last month. Medrick Burnett Jr., 20, died on Wednesday, according to the Daily Mail, weeks after he went on life support after a head-to-head collision with another player during an Oct. 26 game against Alabama State University. Burnett spent weeks in the ICU, and his family wrote on GoFundMe that he was suffering from brain bleeding and a swollen brain. Alabama A&M University wrongly informed its community that Burnett died on Tuesday, regarding him as a man whose “positive energy, leadership, and compassion left an indelible mark on everyone who knew him,” but the family later said that Burnett was still fighting for his life.
