188 jilibet Figure Technology Solutions Appoints Macrina Kgil as Chief Financial OfficerKathleen Stock: Our NHS is no place to empower doctors to kill you In the queue for the loo at an event the other day, a sprightly seventysomething woman, aware of my opposition to the assisted dying bill, tapped me on the shoulder. “If I get ill, why shouldn’t I be able to kill myself if I want to?” she challenged. I replied that with all due respect, this wasn’t what the bill was about. Regrettably from my point of view, suicide would still be available. The central question was whether a state representative should be empowered to help you do it — and that’s rather different. Still, I suspect my answer didn’t change her mind. Those who defend assisted dying tend in my experience to share two broad assumptions. First, when they think of someone asking for death, their minds move first to an ideal case, in which the decision is entirely rational, self-generated, and immune from murky external influences.

We’ve got our Chelsea back – Enzo Maresca loving chants from fans after winCourtney and Michael make these delicious last minute mains for Christmas

It’s been an offseason of dramatic change in the WNBA coaching landscape. Seven head coaches departed the organization they previously led, and eight new head coach hirings were made. None of the head coaches who were fired were rehired as head coaches elsewhere. Three of the new head coaches — Karl Smesko (Dream), Lynne Roberts (Sparks), and Chris Koclanes (Wings) — are coming directly from college. Three coaches are fresh off of stints as WNBA assistant coaches — Tyler Marsh (Sky), Natalie Nakase (Valkyries), and Sydney Johnson (Wings). One — Rachid Meziane — hails from overseas basketball. Is your head spinning yet? SB Nation rounded up all the coaching changes that were made this offseason — here’s everything you need to know. Atlanta Dream — fired Tanisha Wright, hired Karl Smesko No general manager change : Dan Padover returns for his fourth season as head coach. Karla Smesko has served as the head coach of FGCU’s women’s basketball team since 2002. In that time, he established the team as one of the most consistent mid-major programs in the country. He has the third-highest winning percentage (.845) among active head coaches in NCAA Division I women’s basketball (trailing only UConn ’s Geno Auriemma and LSU ’s Kim Mulkey). And, he has the stamp of approval from his colleagues; in The Athletic’s anonymous coaches poll, he was named the best X’s and O’s practitioners for two consecutive seasons. “I want this to be a fun, exciting style to watch, and I want it to be fun and enjoyable for our players,” said Smesko in his opening press conference. “I believe in pushing the ball, getting up and down the court, obviously known for utilizing the three-point shot, creating a lot of space, attacking the rim, and playing together and sharing the ball.” Related Related Chicago Sky — fired Teresa Weatherspoon, hired Tyler Marsh No general manager change : Jeff Pagliocca returns after two years as general manager. Tyler Marsh is the Chicago Sky’s next head coach. Marsh, most recently an assistant coach on the Las Vegas Aces, has s coached men’s college basketball, in the G-League, and in the NBA prior to joining Becky Hammon’s staff in Las Vegas. Marsh was a player development coach on the Toronto Raptors who won the 2019 NBA championships and subsequently spent two seasons in player development with the Indiana Pacers, from 2020 to 2022. He made his transition to the WNBA in 2022, leading the player development efforts of Las Vegas Aces from 2022 to 2024. He helped lead the Aces to back-to-back championships in 2022 and 2023, and is most well-known for helping elevate the game of Jackie Young, one of the Aces’ Olympic guards, who went from being a relatively inconsistent shooter to a knockdown threat. “The championship teams that I’ve that I’ve been a part of have an elite level of professionalism, an elite level of selflessness and accountability,” Marsh said in his first press conference. “That’s how we want to be here.” Related Related Connecticut Sun — Stephanie White left, hired Rachid Meziane General manager change : The Sun promoted Morgan Tuck to be the next general manager, while former GM Darius Taylor will now lead scouting. Rachid Meziane currently serves as head coach of Villeneuve-d’Ascq , a French club that was the EuroLeague runner-up winners in each of the last two seasons. He also coaches the Belgian women’s national team which came in fourth place at the 2024 Paris Olympics. That veteran experience coaching high-level, big-game basketball could prove to be helpful down the stretch as the franchise pursues a first-ever championship. “He’s such a nice guy — just super laid back and chill,” said Sun general manager Morgan Tuck. Related Related Dallas Wings — fired Latricia Trammell, hired Chris Koclanes General manager change : The Wings hired ex-Sparks coach Curt Miller as their new general manager. Chris Koclanes, a current assistant at USC, will be the Dallas Wing’s next head coach. He was Miller’s longtime defensive coordinator, both with the Los Angeles Sparks (2023) and Connecticut Sun (2016-2022). The Sparks had the league’s third-best defense under Koclanes, while the Sun consistently finished in the top three. “Throughout our extensive search and interview process, Chris continued to rise to the top and check the boxes of our important pillars,” Miller said in an official press release . “He is a servant leader who places a high value on connection, collaboration, and a positive and consistent communication style with all those he coaches. Chris is a fantastic teacher of the game and has an outstanding basketball IQ. He is committed to player development and has a forward-thinking and innovative mind for the game. He is a tireless worker with a foundation built through preparation.” Related Related Golden State Valkyries — hired Natalie Nakase as first coach General manager change : The Valkyries hired Ohemaa Nyanin as their first general manager. Natalie Nakase will serve as the Golden State Valkyries’ inaugural head coach. Nakase spent 10 years coaching in the NBA before joining head coach Becky Hammon’s staff with the Las Vegas Aces ahead of the 2022 WNBA season. She became the first Asian-American coach to win a WNBA title, and helped lead Las Vegas to back-to-back championships. Related Las Vegas Aces — Becky Hammon returns as head coach General manager change : The Aces fired general manager Natalie Williams in October, but have yet to announce a new hire. The Aces’ top two assistants, Natalie Nakase and Tyler Marsh, both depart for head coaching positions. The Aces hired Ty Ellis and Larry Lewis as assistant coaches in their place. Related Los Angeles Sparks — fired Curt Miller, hired Lynne Roberts No general manager change : Raegen Scott Pebley returns for a second season as general manager. The Sparks have found their new head coach: Lynne Roberts, a seasoned Division I coach with 27 seasons of collegiate women’s basketball experience.

Prior to that, she coached at Chico State and Pacific. She is well-known known for utilizing three-pointers and prioritizing efficiency Related Related Indiana Fever — fired Christie Sides, hired Stephanie White General manager change : Amber Cox hired as the Fever’s new general manager, while former GM Linn Dunn will move to a senior adviser role. Stephanie White joins the Fever after two seasons as head coach of the Connecticut Sun, and after an illustrious playing and coaching career in Indiana. White, who grew up in West Lebanon, Indiana, played for the Fever from 2000 to 2004, and was an assistant coach from 2011 to 2014. “First and foremost, it’s home,” White said to ESPN’s Malika Andrews when asked what drew her to the position. “This is a franchise, the Indiana Fever, Indiana Pacers, that’s in my DNA. Grew up in Indiana, played in Indiana, played with the franchise, of course, was a part of the franchise when we won the WNBA championship.” Related Related Minnesota Lynx — Cheryl Reeve returns as head coach General manager change : Former GM Clare Duwelius left to become the general manager of the Unrivaled Basketball League.

Attempt to ban Montana transgender lawmaker from using women's restrooms failsA chorus of support is growing behind actress Blake Lively after she filed a complaint alleging sexual harassment and a smear campaign against "It Ends With Us" co-star Justin Baldoni. Actress Amber Heard on Monday became the latest celebrity to speak out on behalf of the "Gossip Girl" alum over what she says was a coordinated social media effort to tarnish her name. Over the weekend, Lively filed a complaint claiming that Baldoni and a lead producer had behaved unacceptably during the filming of box office hit "It Ends With Us." The allegations included that Baldoni -- who also directed the film -- had spoken inappropriately about his sex life, and had sought to alter the film to include sex scenes that were not in the script and had not been agreed to. They also detailed how lead producer Jamey Heath had watched Lively while she was topless, despite having been asked to turn away. But the complaint goes into great detail -- including with texts and emails -- on a PR campaign to wreck her reputation and to divert attention from any public comments she might make about the men's alleged misbehavior. This was "a carefully crafted, coordinated, and resourced retaliatory scheme to silence her, and others from speaking out about the hostile environment that Mr Baldoni and Mr Heath created," the complaint says. It includes allegations that the two men hired a crisis PR team that amplified or planted negative stories about Lively on social media platforms. "You know we can bury anyone," Melissa Nathan, a member of the team, is alleged to have said, according to messages contained in the complaint. Heard's ex-husband Johnny Depp hired the same PR team during the high-profile defamation trial between the couple in 2022, in which a jury unanimously found that Heard defamed Depp over allegations he abused her. "Social media is the absolute personification of the classic saying 'A lie travels halfway around the world before truth can get its boots on,'" Heard said in a statement carried by NBC News. "I saw this firsthand and up close. It's as horrifying as it is destructive." Heard's support came on the heels of a joint statement by America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel, who starred with Lively in "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants." "As Blake's friends and sisters for over 20 years, we stand with her in solidarity as she fights back against the reported campaign waged to destroy her reputation," they wrote on Instagram. "Throughout the filming of 'It Ends with Us', we saw her summon the courage to ask for a safe workplace for herself and colleagues on set, and we are appalled to read the evidence of a premeditated and vindictive effort that ensued to discredit her voice." A lawyer for Wayfarer, the studio behind the film, said in a statement released to the New York Times that neither the studio, its executives, nor its PR team did anything to retaliate against Lively. "These claims are completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media," lawyer Bryan Freedman wrote. The complaint was lodged with the California Civil Rights Department, and is a precursor to a lawsuit. Major Hollywood talent agency WME -- which represents Lively -- has reportedly dropped Baldoni as a client. hg/ahaTrump reveals HE forced Cabinet nominee out in scorched earth attack on the media and critics

The record will show that tight end Trey McBride had a great season, Marvin Harrison Jr. has a promising future, the Cardinals’ defense played over its head for much of the year and Arizona was almost a good football team in 2024. Key word — almost. A frustrating stretch continued on Saturday when the Cardinals (7-9) lost 13-9 to the host Los Angeles Rams . Arizona was pushing for a go-ahead touchdown in the final minute, but Kyler Murray’s pass took an unlucky bounce off McBride’s helmet and LA’s Ahkello Witherspoon made a spectacular grab for the interception, snagging the ball just before it hit the turf. “I think we can compete with anybody, but again, that doesn’t count,” second-year coach Jonathan Gannon said. “It’s about winning and losing, you what I mean? I just got to do a better job, but I know they’re doing the right things.” The Cardinals did a lot of things right against the Rams. Despite being eliminated from the postseason, Arizona competed hard. Murray completed 33 of 48 passes for 321 yards and a touchdown — but also had two interceptions. McBride caught 12 passes for 123 yards, including his first TD catch of the year. Harrison had one of his best games with six catches for 96 yards. RELATED COVERAGE Eagles QB Tanner McKee gets 1st career TD football back with a little help from fans in the stands Jim Harbaugh and Chargers focused on accomplishing more after wrapping up playoff berth Giants topple Colts 45-33 to eliminate Indy from the playoff race “I’m going to choose to be positive about it,” Murray said. “I see a light at the end of that tunnel. I think we’re a couple plays away, a couple of plays away from being a 10-win team or right where we want to be, going to the playoffs or winning the division.” The Cardinals’ defense played well for most of the game, limiting the Rams to 257 yards. But in the end, it was another loss. The Cardinals have dropped five of six after starting 6-4. “I know we’re close, man, and I know it’s hard to see that,” Gannon said. “For me, that’s hard to take on the chin but we’ll get better from it. We’ll get better.” What’s working The Murray-to-Harrison connection was much better on Saturday, producing several big plays. Gannon challenged Harrison to be more physical against opposing defensive backs last week, and the receiver responded, looking much more like the player the Cardinals expected when they selected him with the No. 4 overall pick. “I think the physicality of it, coming from college to the league, guys don’t realize how physical you can be when you get to the league,” Murray said. “He’s going to be big time.” What needs help After doing a great job of taking care of the ball over the first 11 games, Murray has thrown seven interceptions over the past five. A few of those came in late-game situations when he had to take a chance and force a pass, but it’s still not a good trend. Stock up McBride had his third 100-yard game of the season, showing sure hands and fighting through contact for extra yards. The third-year player has 1,081 yards receiving this season, becoming just the second tight end in franchise history to exceed 1,000 yards. The other was Hall of Famer Jackie Smith, who had 1,205 yards in 1967. He has 104 catches and is just the 10th tight end in NFL history to top 100 in a season. Stock down Arizona’s special teams have been very good for most of the year, but Los Angeles’ block of an extra point attempt by Chad Ryland in the third quarter proved costly. If the Cardinals had trailed by three points on the final drive instead of four, they would have had the option of kicking a tying field goal in the final minute. Injuries RB James Conner tried to battle through a knee injury against the Rams, but gained just 4 yards on the ground. His status for the season’s final game is uncertain. LB Joey Blount (ribs) and CB Elijah Jones (ankle) were inactive. Key number 822 — Harrison’s receiving yards on the season. That ranks third for a rookie in franchise history behind Anquan Boldin (1,377 in 2003) and Frank Sanders (883 in 1995). Next steps Arizona’s final game will be at home on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, who are also eliminated from the playoff race. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

GOB introduces new digital immigration and customs declaration system

Former US president Jimmy Carter has died aged 100. Mr Carter, a former peanut farmer, served one term in the White House between 1977 and 1981, taking over in the wake of the Watergate scandal and the end of the Vietnam War. After his defeat by Ronald Reagan, he spent his post-presidency years as a global humanitarian, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. His death on Sunday was announced by his family and came more than a year after he decided to enter hospice care. He was the longest-lived US president. His son, Chip Carter, said: “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights and unselfish love. “My brothers, sister and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs. “The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honouring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.” Mr Carter is expected to receive a state funeral featuring public observances in Atlanta and Washington DC before being buried in his home town of Plains, Georgia. A moderate democrat born in Plains in October 1924, Mr Carter’s political career took him from the Georgia state senate to the state governorship and finally the White House, where he took office as the 39th president. His presidency saw economic disruption amid volatile oil prices, along with social tensions at home and challenges abroad including the Iranian revolution that sparked a 444-day hostage crisis at the US embassy in Tehran. But he also brokered the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel, which led to a peace treaty between the two countries in 1979. After his defeat in the 1980 presidential election, he worked for more than four decades leading the Carter Centre, which he and his late wife Rosalynn co-founded in 1982 to “wage peace, fight disease, and build hope”. Mrs Carter, who died last year aged 96, had played a more active role in her husband’s presidency than previous first ladies, with Mr Carter saying she had been “my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished”. Earlier this year, on his 100th birthday, Mr Carter received a private congratulatory message from the King, expressing admiration for his life of public service.
