The summit also acknowledged the UAE's leadership role at COP28, where the nation advanced its vision of eliminating food waste and transforming traditional food systems.

It ought to be useful, yes, but maybe a tad more expensive than they might normally spend for an item themselves. The Gray Kunz sauce spoon is named after the legendary chef, best known for his work at New York’s (now closed) Lespinasse. The implement he designed has been called “the Rolls-Royce of spoons” and has even been featured on the FX series “The Bear.” Pittsburgh private chef Emily Larsen says it’s ideal for stirring, portioning and saucing, with its relatively wide and deep bowl. Some chefs use it to flip meat or fish in a pan or form quenelles. At $14, it’s more than you would usually shell out for a single spoon, “which is what makes it a great gift,” Larsen says. (jbprince.com) $14 This is what I’m putting on my list for Santa this year. I’ve heard for years about the heirloom quality of Rancho Gordo beans, but I can’t quite bring myself to pay a premium for, well, dried beans. The company has a variety of gift boxes, including the Mexican Gift Box ($32.95), the Holiday 2024 Gift Box ($33.95) and the Heirloom Beans Deluxe Gift Box ($59.95). (ranchogordo.com) If you know someone in a part of the country sadly deprived of a Primanti Bros. or Prantl’s Bakery, the food-delivery company Goldbelly can fix that. The Primanti Bros. Pastrami Sandwich Pack comes with the fixings to feed four people — including bread, meat, cheese, hot sauce, two tomatoes, french fries and coleslaw. Shipping sandwiches across the country frankly strikes me as a dubious idea, except for the desperately homesick. A better idea might be to send a Prantl’s burnt almond torte ($86), which serves up to 10 people. It arrives frozen, with instructions on how to revive it. Of course, if you and your giftee both live in Pittsburgh, you can pick up and deliver these items fresh yourself, no assembly or defrosting required. goldbelly.com . $100 Charles Viancin airtight lids are made of silicone and available in different diameters and styles. They are practical, economical and attractive. Plop, for example, this 11-inch daisy atop your bowl, and you’ll keep your food fresh in the refrigerator while saving on plastic wrap. The lids can also be used to cover pots on the stove, in the microwave and to shield food from insects at picnics. (charlesviancin.com) $22 If the chef on your list is struggling with a dull-edged box grater they bought at a discount store, up their game with a Microplane Classic Zester and Grater. The thin shape and sharp edges are excellent for zesting citrus, grating cheese or sprinkling a lovely dusting of chocolate shavings over a dessert. Penn Fixture & Supply also has a variety of other Microplane tools, as well as a multitude of items a chef’s heart might desire (knives, spatulas, sieves, inexpensive sheet pans in every size). If you’re preparing a holiday meal, you might want to equip your own kitchen here, too.(microplane.com) $18 I don’t speak a lick of Polish, but I’m willing to bet the ranch that Ceramika Artystyczna’s name means “artistic ceramics.” And indeed, its hard-working stoneware is also attractive, going easily from oven to table. Festooned in brightly colored, hand-painted folkloric designs, the company’s bakeware is safe for microwaves, ovens, dishwashers and freezers. The Crimson Bells Collection medium round baker with handles is an 8 1/4 -inch baking dish.

When completed, it will connect Blair Station with five new stations further along in Ottawa’s east end: Montreal; Jeanne d’Arc; Orléans Boulevard; Place d’Orléans; and Trim. The eastern extension will not be available for service until sometime in 2025. Meanwhile, the north-south Trillium Line extension is set to open on Jan. 6 — more than two years after its original target date — following months of testing. “We understand that this service adjustment is disruptive and thank our customers for their ongoing patience,” Amilcar said. During Saturday’s shutdown of Line 1, also known as the Confederation Line, R1 bus service will operate between Tunney’s Pasture and Blair stations between 6 a.m. and 2 a.m. In addition, shuttle buses will run between St-Laurent and Cyrville stations in the east end and between Lees Station and Mackenzie King Bridge in central Ottawa, Amilcar’s memo said. Regular service for Line 1 is planned to resume on Dec. 15, the memo added.

Stocks set for strong weekly gain, US yields slip as markets eye Trump policiesMinersville 54, Mount Carmel 49Taylor Swift's concerts at Vancouver's BC Place Dec. 6, 7 and 8 are continuing to help local charities. The BC Children's Hospital Foundation on Saturday night (Nov. 30) auctioned 15 tickets to a private suite at one of the Taylor Swift Vancouver concerts for $290,000 – an impressive amount of money but it was not the most that a B.C. charity has garnered for a suite during one of Swift's concerts. The VGH UBC Hospital Foundation on Oct. 19 raised a staggering $320,000 from a winning bid at its Vitality Gala live auction for 15 private suite tickets to see Swift sing in Vancouver. The BC Children's Hospital Foundation's weekend windfall at its Crystal Ball gala did, however, better some other B.C. charities that auctioned off tickets at suites to see Taylor Swift. The Victoria Hospitals Foundation at its Visions Gala Nov. 16 netted $260,000 by auctioning off a 15-person suite to see Swift. The BC Cancer Society was the first local charity to auction off a 15-person suite to see Swift. It raised $125,000 for that suite during an action at its Daffodil Ball in April. Combined, those four suites generated more than $1 million for the charities. PavCo, which operates BC Place, gifted the suites to be auctioned off, PavCo senior manager of marketing and communications Jenny McKenzie told BIV. “For every concert that comes through, we have a certain number of suites and tickets that [we get as] part of our partnership with that tour,” she explained. PavCo sometimes gives tickets and suites to what she called “stakeholders” related to PavCo, but the organization also donates access to suites and tickets to charities, she said. McKenzie said that PavCo has long had an informal system in place to provide suites and tickets to charities, and this year formalized what it is calling its BC Place Community Benefit Program. “By donating tickets, BC Place enables charities to raise critical funds while offering unforgettable experiences to their supporters,” she said. She added that the program reinforces PavCo’s role as a catalyst for positive change and social impact. The Canuck Place Children’s Hospice is another charity that has cashed in on excitement about Taylor Swift. It sold two sets of tickets—eight in total—to a Taylor Swift Vancouver concert for $46,000 at its November 2 Gift of Time Gala auction, which raised more than $1.63 million in support of Canuck Place. Toronto-based telecom Rogers Communications Inc. (TSX:RCI-B) is a presenting sponsor of the Canadian leg of Swift’s Eras tour, which includes six shows in Toronto and three in Vancouver. Because it is a presenting sponsor, it has access to many tickets for internal use. Some of those tickets are being given away to forge customer loyalty while others are being given to charities, Rogers’ senior manager of communication in Western Canada, Leann Yutuc, told BIV. Rogers has been giving away 35 pairs of tickets each week to different Rogers customers who enter draws, she said. “Specific to charities, we have given tickets to BGC Canada, Jays Care, Big Brothers Big Sisters Toronto and Canucks for Kids to distribute to their beneficiaries,” she said. Canucks for Kids received 40 tickets with those going to deserving families to attend a Taylor Swift concert, Yutuc said. Swift has been a vocal supporter of food banks and that has spurred fan Heidi Van Schaik to launch a Canada-wide initiative dubbed Tay It Forward. Waterloo, Ont.-based Schaik has set a goal to raise $1.3 million for Canadian food banks, with that amount chosen because 13 is said to be Swift’s favourite number, and it is one she has reportedly drawn on her hand before performances. Schaik is encouraging fans to make $13 donations, with the campaign slated to end December 13. A wide range of businesses in Vancouver are also cashing in on the Taylor Swift concerts .

After New England’s 24-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Drake Maye stated he was “ proud to be a Patriot ” despite the 3-11 record, and all of the criticism of the coaching staff. On Monday, Maye was asked what specifically made him proud to be part of the organization during his weekly appearance on WEEI. “I’m just fortunate they took a chance on me. I’m fortunate to be up here with these guys, this organization with a winning history. I think thats who you wanna be around — somebody who expects winning. That’s how I grew up — expecting to win. I hate losing. I think everybody can agree with that,” he said . “And just the fan base how they’ve embraced me, I appreciate it. It’s an awesome place to play football. It’s a big responsibility playing quarterback here. I take that with a lot of responsibility.” Maye has shown a lot of promise at the quarterback position and given the fan base optimism for the future. While the Patriots will miss the playoffs for a third straight season and finish with a losing record, Maye has shown — even though he’s a rookie — can be not only a franchise quarterback, but a true leader. The Patriots have two games remaining in 2024 — one against the Los Angeles Chargers and the other against the Bills. It will be two more opportunities to flash his skill and try to end the season on a high note.

Singh said his party would open the procedural “gates” including motions to extend the sitting hours of the House of Commons to debate and pass the legislation in time for it take effect as promised on Dec. 14. Last week, the Liberals brought forward a plan to pause the GST on items like premade grocery items, beer and wine, toys and other holiday staples. The pause would last for two months. Singh says the NDP supports this idea, but oppose the associated $250 working Canadians benefit that is supposed to be mailed in the spring to anyone who earned an income up to $150,000 last year. Singh wants the benefit expanded to include non-working seniors and people who rely on disability benefits who did not have a working income in 2023. The Liberals have put the GST and benefit cheque bill on notice in the House of Commons but have been unable to introduce it because of an ongoing filibuster by the Conservatives over an unrelated matter of privilege. A Conservative motion demanding the government turn over unredacted documents to the RCMP on a green technology fund has been debated since late September, preventing any bills or other motions from being introduced or debated. The Conservatives insist that debate will continue until the documents are given to the RCMP or the NDP join them and the Bloc Québécois to vote non confidence in the government. At least two parties would need to support a motion to end or pause that debate. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said last week that both the GST holiday and the $250 cheques are aimed at helping people struggling with the cost of living. The rebate as planned would be issued to an estimated 18 million Canadians in the spring and cost around $4.7 billion. The government has issued notice of the legislation but hasn’t introduced it in the House yet. It also has put on notice a motion calling for debate on the bill, when it is introduced, to be limited to one 10-minute speech per party, and undergo just one vote for all the required stages of debate. Some Liberal MPs said Wednesday they think their government should consider expanding the eligibility for the benefit cheques. After the Liberal caucus meeting Seniors Minister Steven MacKinnon said the government has created a number of benefits to help low-income seniors. But Milton MP Adam van Koeverden said he wants to see more ambition in helping seniors and Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP Marcus Powlowski said if the government can afford to include seniors in the payments it absolutely should. The Bloc Québécois is also calling on the government to offer the rebate to seniors who are fully retired. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called the measure a “tiny, two month tax trick” and says if Trudeau cared about affordability he’d get rid of the carbon tax.
