NEW YORK — I’ll get you, my pretty! And your little pygmy hippo, too! Forgive us the shameless attempt to link the fantasy hit “Wicked” to the delightful Moo Deng . But, hear us out — there’s something the two have in common as the year draws to a close. Escapism. Whether we found it on the yellow brick road, or in videos from a Thailand zoo, or perhaps in unlikely Olympic heroes , we gravitated toward fantasy and feel-good pop culture moments this year. There were new trends, as always. “Brat summer” became a thing, as did “demure, mindful.” And for some inexplicable reason, we became obsessed with celebrity lookalike contests. There were breakups — Bennifer is, again, a thing of the past — and reunions: Oasis, please try to stay together for the tour. Yet some things stayed, remarkably, the same: Taylor Swift and Beyoncé kept on breaking records and making history. So, after a year where much changed but some things held steady, here’s our annual, very selective trip down pop culture memory lane: Lily Gladstone poses in the press room Jan. 7 with the award for best performance by an actress in a motion picture, drama for "Killers of the Flower Moon" at the 81st Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif. It starts as a cheery tweet from a beloved “Sesame Street” figure: “ ELMO is just checking in! How is everybody doing?” The answers hint at something deeper and more worrisome. “Not great, Elmo. Not great,” says one milder reply. Doing much better is the viral phenomenon called “BARBENHEIMER,” which makes its awards season debut at the GOLDEN GLOBES . But perhaps the most poignant moment comes from neither film: LILY GLADSTONE , first Indigenous winner of best actress in a drama for “Killers of the Flower Moon,” begins her remarks in the language of her tribe, Blackfeet Nation. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (87) kisses Taylor Swift on Feb. 11 after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in overtime during the NFL Super Bowl 58 football game in Las Vegas. Valentine’s Day — a perfect time to settle into a sweet love saga via TikTok. Only that’s not quite what we get with “Who TF Did I Marry?,” REESA TEESA ’s depressing, fascinating, 50-part account of her disastrous marriage with a man who lied about absolutely everything. Meanwhile, if you're looking for a single week that encapsulates peak SWIFT cultural dominance , try this: she begins with the Grammys in Los Angeles (becoming the first artist to win album of the year four times AND announcing a new album), then heads to Tokyo for four tour dates, then jets back just in time for the Super Bowl in Las Vegas — where she shares a passionate smooch with boyfriend TRAVIS KELCE on the field of victory. Ryan Gosling performs the song "I'm Just Ken" from the movie "Barbie" on March 10 during the Oscars at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. “What was I made for?” BILLIE EILISH sings at the OSCARS, channeling BARBIE . And what was KEN made for? Not entirely clear — but it's clear RYAN GOSLING was made to play him. His singalong version of “I’m Just Ken” is one of the most entertaining Oscar musical moments in years. Still, Christopher Nolan's “OPPENHEIMER” prevails, a rare case of the top prize going to a blockbuster studio film. Will it happen again in 2025? CYNTHIA ERIVO and ARIANA GRANDE sure hope so; as presenters, they make a sly reference to their upcoming juggernaut, “WICKED.” Speaking of marketing, people are obsessed with that bizarre “DUNE” popcorn bucket. Beyonce And BEYONCÉ carves her space in country music with “Act II: Cowboy Carter,” which will make her the first Black woman to top the Billboard country chart. Taylor Swift performs June 21 at Wembley Stadium in London as part of her Eras Tour. Tennis, anyone? The game’s been around for centuries, but it’s having a cultural moment right now, helped mightily by “CHALLENGERS,” the sweaty romance triangle starring ZENDAYA, MIKE FAIST and JOSH O'CONNOR (40-love? More like 40-sex.) Elsewhere, a new era dawns: At midnight, SWIFT drops “THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT," then drops another 15 songs two hours later. The fascinating and disturbing “BABY REINDEER,” the story of a struggling comedian’s extended encounter with a stalker, debuts on Netflix. Ben Affleck, left, and Jennifer Lopez arrive Feb. 13 at the premiere of "This Is Me ... Now: A Love Story" at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. It’s MET GALA time — or as it's known in 2024, another early marketing moment for “WICKED.” ERIVO and GRANDE make fashion waves on the carpet and then musical ones at dinner, with a soulful performance of “When You Believe.” If the “Wicked” tour is in full force, another one stops in its tracks: JENNIFER LOPEZ cancels her summer tour amid reports of both poor ticket sales and trouble in her marriage to BEN AFFLECK . It’s been an eventful year for J.Lo, who's released an album and movie called “THIS IS ME ... NOW" — both reflections on her renewed love with Affleck. Welcome to BRAT SUMMER ! CHARLI XCX releases her hit “Brat” album , with its lime green cover, and launches a thousand memes. Collins Dictionary defines “brat,” its word of the year, as “characterized by a confident, independent, and hedonistic attitude.” At the celeb-heavy SWIFT shows in London, we see PRINCE WILLIAM shaking it off, which is either charming or cringe, you decide. Even better: KELCE dons a top hat and tux and performs for one night. At another stadium across the pond, METS infielder JOSE IGLESIAS delights the crowd with his cheery number “OMG.” Stephen Nedoroscik is introduced June 29 at the United States Gymnastics Olympic Trials in Minneapolis. Bonjour, it’s OLYMPICS time! In Paris! An audacious opening ceremony along the Seine is punctuated by a fabulous CELINE DION , perched on the EIFFEL TOWER , singing her heart out — in the rain, too. Controversy swirls over a scene critics feel mocks Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” (organizers say it does not). Olympic stars are born — including French swimming superstar LEON MARCHAND , rugby player ILONA MAHER , and bespectacled “Pommel Horse Guy” gymnast STEPHEN NEDOROSCIK , who nets two bronze medals and comparisons to Clark Kent. Baby pigmy hippo Moo Deng plays with a zookeeper Sept. 19 in the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Chonburi province, Thailand. Also capturing hearts: yep, MOO DENG , born this month. Her name means “bouncy pork.” Australia's Rachael Gunn, known as B-Girl Raygun, competes Aug. 9 during the Round Robin Battle at the breaking competition at La Concorde Urban Park at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France. This is them ... now: BENNIFER is no more. After two decades, two engagements and two weddings, J.Lo files for divorce. One union dissolves, another returns: OASIS announces a reunion tour. Everyone seems to want to get in on TikToker JOOLS LEBRON 's “ DEMURE, MINDFUL ” act — even the WHITE HOUSE press team. Back at the Olympics, in the new sport of breaking, we meet Australia’s RAYGUN , arguably neither demure nor mindful with her “kangaroo” move. Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani brings his dog Decoy to the mound Aug. 28 before Decoy delivered the ceremonial first pitch prior to a baseball game between the Dodgers and the Baltimore Orioles in Los Angeles. Cute animal alert: SHOHEI OHTANI ’s perky pooch DECOY does a great “first pitch” in his Major League Baseball debut. Chappell Roan performs "Good Luck, Babe" on Sept. 11 during the MTV Video Music Awards at UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y. One of the year’s biggest breakout artists, CHAPPELL ROAN , withdraws from a music festival after speaking out about frightening fan interactions. And more on the price of fame: In an excruciating moment, “Bachelorette” JENN TRAN , the franchise’s first Asian American lead, is forced to sit through a painful viewing of her proposal to her chosen suitor, after tearfully explaining how he’d later dumped her over the phone. Tran is keeping busy though — she’s announced as part of the new “Dancing with the Stars” lineup. Also on the list: rugby player Maher, and Pommel Horse Guy! Also, ANNA SOROKIN , dancing with an ankle monitor. Online fandom, meanwhile, is shaken when X is temporarily suspended in Brazil and celebrity stan accounts post tearful farewells, revealing to many across the globe that their favorite accounts are run by Brazilians. Miles Mitchell, 21, wins of the Timothee Chalamet lookalike contest Oct. 27 near Washington Square Park in New York. “Dune” Chalamets! “Wonka” Chalamets! Thousands gather in Manhattan for a TIMOTHÉE CHALAMET lookalike contest, and things really get interesting when Chalamet himself shows up. He doesn’t enter the contest, though, and with his mustache, he may not even have won. The trend continues with contests for JEREMY ALLEN WHITE, ZAYN MALIK and — in a very Washington version — Kennedy scion JACK SCHLOSSBERG , who's been gathering a following with some interesting social media posts. New York Liberty Kennedy Burke dances with the mascot, Ellie the Elephant, during an Oct. 24 ceremony after a parade in honor of the Liberty's WNBA basketball championship at City Hall in New York. Turning to basketball, who’s that dancing with USHER ? Why it’s ELLIE THE ELEPHANT , the now-viral NEW YORK LIBERTY mascot. Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, right, appears Nov. 2 with Maya Rudolph on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" in New York. MAYA RUDOLPH does a pretty good KAMALA HARRIS laugh on “Saturday Night Live,” but you know who does it better? HARRIS herself. The Democratic candidate makes a surprise cameo three days before the U.S. presidential election, following in the footsteps of HILLARY CLINTON , SARAH PALIN and others. Elsewhere in television, Bravo announces that “VANDERPUMP RULES,” the Emmy-nominated reality show that has lived through countless scandals, is entirely recasting its 12th season — apart from namesake LISA VANDERPUMP . As for MOO DENG , she doesn't have her own TV series yet, but our favorite pygmy hippo is generating plenty of merch . And THAT brings us back to ... Ariana Grande, left, and Cynthia Erivo pose for photographers Nov. 11 prior to the premiere of "Wicked" at Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City. “WICKED” ! Director JON M. CHU ’s emerald-hued fantasy remains very very popular, to quote one of its buzzy show tunes, dancing through life and defying gravity at the multiplex. Moviegoers also come for “GLADIATOR II” and, in a veritable tidal wave, Disney's “MOANA 2,” which beckons us back to the seas of Oceania. Once again, 2024 seems to be telling us: Give people some whimsy, a place to escape, maybe some catchy tunes — and no one knows how far they’ll go. The stories and images that defined 2024.

The Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA ) has completed its safety review of Southwest Airlines - the regulator said it did not find any significant safety issues with the low-cost carrier following a series of incidents this year. FAA finds no serious safety concerns with Southwest As reported by Reuters , the US aviation regulator has concluded it "did not identify any significant safety issues" in its five-month review of Southwest. The FAA opened its review in July following multiple safety scares on Southwest flights this year, precipitated by an incident that same month when a Southwest aircraft flew at a dangerously low altitude of 150 ft over Tampa Bay off the coast of Florida. The backbone of the industry’s safety record. The review was opened to determine whether Southwest was adequately following federal safety standards. Other incidents that led to the safety review include: An April flight that dropped to 400 ft off the coast of Hawaii A June flight that reached an altitude of 500 ft upon approach in Oklahoma A 737 MAX flight in May that experienced a "Dutch roll" at 34,000 ft A June flight that took off from a closed runway in Portland, Maine During the April incident over Hawaii, the flight's first officer accidentally pushed forward on the aircraft's control column, plunging the aircraft into a fall at a descent rate of 4,400 feet per minute. The Dutch roll incident in May remains under investigation and could have had serious consequences for those onboard. It was later discovered that the aircraft's vertical stabilizer had sustained damage, possibly due to being left out during a severe storm before the flight. Southwest's proactive approach to safety Southwest said it appreciated the opportunity to cooperate with the FAA "as part of our mutual dedication to safety." In light of the review, the carrier said it had formed a special team comprised of its staff and union and FAA members to enhance its safety practices - additionally, in September, it announced it was ordering all of its pilots to undergo extra training and discussions at its Dallas headquarters. The one-day sessions will start in November and continue into 2025. United Airlines also faced a safety review this year, although the scope of that "enhanced oversight" was more significant than what Southwest faced. Due to multiple incidents earlier this year, authorities restricted United's capacity to add new aircraft and routes to its network while it conducted its review. In October, the FAA concluded its oversight, also stating that it had found no serious safety issues . Maintaining industry safety Earlier this month, the FAA and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) signed a declaration of intent at the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) 80th Anniversary of the Chicago Convention celebrations to enhance aviation safety. A spate of near misses in the past couple of years has led to significant concerns within the industry about dwindling safety standards - for example, in July 2023 alone there were over 40 near-miss incidents. While the US prides itself on maintaining the highest standards of aviation safety, industry leaders have stressed there is a lot of work to "keep it that way." This is particularly pertinent as the industry's rapid growth continues, which will inevitably lead to more congested airspace and busier airports. As it stands, flying is only getting safer and safer , aided by enhanced technology and constantly improving regulations and standards.Dr Martens cuts £54 off 'comfy from first try on' winter boots

From left, Jerry Dyer, welder and artist Jeramy Anderson and Trillium’s Bryan Voytilla pose with a new statue built by Anderson to commemorate Floway’s 90th anniversary. The statue will be displayed in the company’s lobby. Photos by Gabriel Dillard There aren’t many businesses in Fresno that can lay claim to being 90 years old, founded the same year Bonnie and Clyde were killed by police and Babe Ruth hit his 700 home run and left the Yankees. The Floway brand of vertical turbine pumps has been part of Fresno’s farm irrigation landscape since 1934 — a milestone marked this week by parent company Trillium Flow Technologies with ceremony and even sculpture. Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer and Blake Konczal, executive director of the Fresno Regional Workforce Development Board, were among the guests at a ceremony Tuesday at Floway’s south Fresno facility. Also present were Bryan Voytilla, managing director for Trillium’s American pumps division and Stephen Avila, plant manager. Since 2019, when Houston-based Trillium acquired Weir Flow Control, the manufacturing operation has nearly doubled in size to 231 people with a recently expanded facility featuring an additional 13,000 square feet of space. That growth — and the impact of jobs one can raise a family on — was not lost on Dyer, who commended the enterprise for its longevity. With production stopped for the ceremony, Dyer addressed the hard work of the Floway team. “A company cannot achieve this level of success without dedicated employees,” Dyer said. Floway has also evolved in its time, transitioning to make armaments for the allies in World War II. It has also expanded into the municipal, mining and military fueling sectors. Dyer thanked the Floway team for its commitment to Fresno. “Too many companies today are pulling up roots and moving to greener pastures,” Dyer said. “I like to think the greenest pasture is here in Fresno.” With global headquarters in Glasgow, Scotland, Trillium celebrated the 90 anniversary with a tradition that actually started in their plant in Italy — commissioning sculptures made from pump parts by local artists. Jeramy Anderson, a local welder, artist and instructor, was commissioned to make a sculpture to celebrate Floway’s anniversary. His 7-foot piece is meant to evoke water traveling vertically in a helix, pushed up a column by an actual Trillium impeller. Konczal, whose job is helping to train workers for jobs the region’s employers need to fill, said companies like Trillium help make sure roads are maintained and public safety services are available in Fresno. “Companies like Trillium are the types of companies that provide the tax base to have a nice city,” Konczal said.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Damari Monsanto's 22 points helped UTSA defeat Southwestern Adventist 117-58 on Thursday. Monsanto added six rebounds for the Roadrunners (6-5). Sky Wicks scored 20 points while shooting 8 for 12, including 4 for 7 from beyond the arc and added eight rebounds and three steals. Amir "Primo" Spears shot 5 of 10 from the field, including 1 for 5 from 3-point range, and went 5 for 6 from the line to finish with 16 points. Domonique Wilkins and Orlando Gooden each scored 19 points for Southwestern Adventist. Jason Garcia had 13 points, four assists and two steals. Monsanto led his team in scoring with 16 points in the first half to help put them up 61-24 at the break. UTSA extended its lead to 87-38 during the second half, fueled by a 13-3 scoring run. Wicks scored a team-high 10 points in the second half. The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .Max Verstappen briefly broke his five-month pole drought with a last-gasp lap in Q3 to pinch top spot from George Russell, but his celebrations were short-lived. He was almost immediately put under investigation for travelling too slowly on the racing line during Q3 and impeding his pole rival. Shortly after qualifying the stewards slapped him with a rare one-place grid penalty, reversing the order of the front row. Every F1 qualifying session and race LIVE in 4K on Kayo. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. Though hardly disastrous for the Dutchman, it means he’s now gone 12 grands prix without a P1 start. Unusually he’s twice been the fastest driver in Q3 during that time — in Belgium, where he was dropped 10 places on the grid with an engine penalty, and now in Qatar. It marginally boosts the odds of a second consecutive victory for Russell, who’s brimming with confidence after dominating in Las Vegas and full of determination after having been denied a better sprint finish thanks to some clever teamwork tactics by McLaren. VERSTAPPEN COPS PENALTY FOR ‘SUPER DANGEROUS’ INCIDENT, LOSES POLE The Lusail International Circuit is a dangerous one around which to be travelling slowly. Flowing and super fast, the closing speed between a driver on a hot lap and one cooling their tyres is likely to be enormous. More important is that the number of high-downforce sweeps means any driver on a performance run is likely to be hard committed, meaning they’ll have little scope to avoid a crash if a slow-moving car suddenly comes into view. The race director has mandated a maximum lap time for cool-down laps for this reason, hoping to at least reduce the closing speed between two cars on different programs. It wasn’t enough to stop Verstappen and Russell tangling as they prepared for the final Q3 laps, however. Verstappen was travelling very slowly through the fastest set of corners on the circuit, the turn 12-13-14 triple-apex right-hander. He’d just let past two cars as he attempted to make space for his own fast lap but was on the racing line. Russell suddenly closed up to him with a massive speed difference. To avoid an accident he had to spear off the road, clambering over some kerbs and through a gravel trap, an incident he described over radio at the time as being “super dangerous”. “[The gravel was] all over the floor, through the floor,” he said afterwards. “It felt like the floor was scraping over that kerb and through the gravel. “It was a bit of a hairy one, two corners before we start the lap. “That was probably the 55 milliseconds [that cost me pole].” But Russell wasn’t on a fast lap; he was also on a preparation lap, albeit with a dramatically different program. Whereas Verstappen had just set a fast lap and was undertaking two cool-down laps before his final time, Russell was on a much faster preparation lap building up temperature for his last crack. It made it a highly unusual incident to judge, with Russell technically not impeded but the incident dangerous all the same. “The stewards regard this case as a complicated one in that clearly [Verstappen] did not comply with the race director’s event notes and clearly was driving, in our determination, unnecessarily slowly considering the circumstances,” the stewards said in their ruling. “It was obvious the driver of [Verstappen] was attempting to cool his tyres. He also could see [Russell] approaching as he looked in his mirror multiple times whilst on the small straight between turns 11 and 12. “Unusually, this incident occurred when neither car was on a push lap. Had [Russell] been on a push lap, the penalty would have most likely been the usual three-grid-position penalty; however, in mitigation of penalty, it was obvious that the driver of [Russell] had clear visibility of [Verstappen] and that neither car was on a push lap.” The compromise was a one-place penalty that promotes Russell back to top spot, where he was before the clumsy incident. This could be particularly advantageous given the grip difference between the pole side of the grid, on the gripped-up racing line, and the alternative side, which sees no real action. “It was pretty clear in the sprint that everyone on that right side made bad starts, and that’s obviously a little bit unfair to have those circumstances,” Russell said before Verstappen’s penalty. “That ultimately cost me the chance to fight with Lando [in the sprint]. “I think it’s going to be a really close fight between all four teams. Ferrari looked on the same pace as Lando and me this morning. I hope it’s going to be a good one.” NORRIS REPAYS THE DEBT WITH LEAD CONCESSIONS McLaren has been very keen throughout this season of growing pains to remain committed to its values of sporting integrity and fairness. Sometimes it’s been difficult — the team was put through a serious stress test at the Hungarian Grand Prix, for example, when Lando Norris briefly considered ignoring team orders to give Oscar Piastri back his hard-earned lead — but the team has refused to waver. That commitment to even-handedness paid enormous dividends in Qatar, with Norris voluntarily ceding the lead to Piastri on the final lap. It was payback for Piastri doing the same at the previous sprint in Brazil to aid Norris’s since extinguished drivers championship hopes. The Briton had telegraphed his plan to the team before the sprint but had been told explicitly that he could win the half-hour dash when it became clear Russell wasn’t going to fall back to a more comfortable distance. He nonetheless picked his moment and executed perfectly to redress the imbalance from Sao Paulo. “I didn’t have to do it if I didn’t want to,” Norris said. “I told my engineer that I would do it, so he was the main one that probably knew about it, and I told him before the race if we have a bit of a gap and we’re first and second, then I would try and do it. “He knew and he was telling me not to do it because I think the gap to George was probably a bit too fine for their liking, but Oscar did his part in trying to help me get closer to Max in the championship and give that opportunity a go. “I deserved that right to have a chance, and that’s how we have to work as a team when one of us has that opportunity, and I returned the favour today.” Piastri, who admitted to being a little bit surprised to be handed the lead given Russell was right on his tail, said it spoke to the way the drivers lived McLaren’s values that he and Norris could be trusted to sort it out for themselves. “I think it just speaks of our teamwork and fairness for the team,” he said. “It obviously doesn’t change the points, and I think it just shows off our teamwork and lack of egos within the team. “I think if you’ve got both drivers so willing to work together and help each other out, then it’s the best example for the rest of the team, because it’s not just about us two, it’s about the hundreds and thousands of people trying to help us win.” But perhaps best of all for McLaren is that it neatly draws a line under this season from the perspective of the drivers title. There’s an expectation that Piastri and Norris will be rival championship contenders next season, with McLaren tipped to start the year with a race-winning car. Ending the year effectively with scores level — and with the drivers having shown faith in each other’s sportsmanship — gives the team the best possible chance of surviving a possible internal title battle. McLAREN HAS CHANCE TO SEAL CONSTRUCTORS TITLE TODAY The Norris-Piastri position reversal was points-neutral for McLaren, with the team taking a big step forward in the constructors championship. With Ferrari finishing fourth and fifth, the gap opened to 30 points. There’ll be just 44 points remaining after Sunday night. Another one-two finish in the grand prix would seal the deal regardless of what Ferrari achieves, winning McLaren its first teams title since 1998. But things don’t look quite as straightforward after qualifying as they did after the sprint. Norris dominated sprint qualifying, but neither McLaren driver looked likely to take pole position for the grand prix on a circuit that had fully rubbered in and cleaned up after almost two days of running. He qualified third ahead of Piastri in fourth. Again there was little to separate them, just 0.057 seconds. McLaren — as did every team — made changes to the car following the sprint to hone it for qualifying and the grand prix, but rather than having taken a wrong turn, Norris said the way the weekend has unfolded has only highlighted a long-running trait of the team and its car. “I think today probably showed that we are very strong at getting everything out of the car very early in the weekend,” he said. “The car was quick already in FP1. In [sprint] qualifying we felt good. In the [sprint] race we were good. “What is clear is that others did a bad job. They amended some of their wrongdoings and managed to get a lot more potential out of the car today, and we just were not able to. We got everything out of the car already. “That was the main thing. We hope in the race that things come back to us just a little bit.” It’s given Ferrari a small opening to try to claw back some points. Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz qualified fifth and seventh. Both were still slower, but not by as much as they were in sprint qualifying, the gap between the two teams just 0.08 seconds. Sainz demonstrated in the sprint that he had the pace to stick with the podium-getters. Leclerc was also rapid late in the sprint after getting back past Lewis Hamilton. But we also learnt from the short race that overtaking is difficult, and the propensity for a train to form in the DRS is high. It puts a significant onus on Ferrari’s race start if it’s to stand a chance of either neutralising or potentially outscoring the orange team ahead. “We’ll need a good start and a good first few laps in order to try and pass one of them and then put the pressure on the other. “I think we are fast in the long runs, but as I was saying this morning, it’s very difficult to overtake here, so I think that we are not going to use that pace that much. “But let’s see. Every race is different. If we find our one opportunity to show out pace in clear air at one point, we’ll try and take it.” Degradation is lower than expected. Combined with the long pit straight and commensurately long stop time, one stop is now forecast as the preferred strategy. That leaves only one other opening for position changes if passing really will be that difficult. After analysing performances in the sprint, the top four teams are split by just 0.1 seconds per lap on average in race pace — practically nothing. It should make for an unpredictable battle on Sunday night. PÉREZ PLAYS THE TEAM GAME BUT ENDS UP SLOWER Sergio Pérez was on a hiding to nothing from 16th on the sprint grid, so Red Bull Racing hauled him in for a pit-lane start for a series of set-up changes as an experiment for the rest of the weekend. Things only got worse from there. Franco Colapinto had also been recalled for a pit-lane start and was queuing behind Pérez when the lights went green. Bizarrely the Mexican didn’t react, and the Argentine subjected him to a super rare overtake at pit exit. Pérez appeared to miss the light turning green, and when he did eventually pull away, it was at a leisurely pace rather than with the vigour of a race launch. He argued afterwards that it had been a deliberate move to put himself at the back of the pack and in as much clear air as possible to experiment with the car, though it appeared to be the first team principal Christian Horner had heard of it. “I don’t know [what that was about], to be honest,” Red Bull Racing boss Christian Horner told Sky Sports. “I need to have a chat with him about it. “It looked like he just misjudged it, but when the light goes out, you’re supposed to go.” Nonetheless, the combination of his experiments and lessons learnt from Verstappen’s lacklustre race to eighth formed the basis of a set-up that served the team well for qualifying, delivering the Dutchman a front-row start. But they did little for Pérez. To the Mexican’s credit, he just slipped into the top 10 for his third Q3 appearance in the last six races, avoiding an embarrassing repeat of his sprint qualifying bottom-five knockout. But he did so despite being even slower relative to Verstappen that he had been on Friday. When he was knocked out of sprint qualifying in SQ1, he was 0.685 slower than his teammate. In Q3 in grand prix qualifying his deficit blew out to 0.905 seconds. It was his second-biggest deficit of the entire season after his result at the Canadian Grand Prix in June. “I think that was a good step considering where we’d been with the discontented balance we’ve been having with the car,” he argued. “There’s still some work to do and to be done to be able to bring it all a little bit more together. “I think we should be able to be competitive, have some good pace. Hopefully we will be in the mix. Hopefully early on we will be able to go with the leaders.” Red Bull Racing is highly likely to lose touch with McLaren’s constructors championship lead, condemning its title defence. It could also find its odds of even finishing second taking a blow. Given Pérez’s central role in those disappointments, it’ll be hard to spin any result this weekend as a success.

MISSED FIELD GOALS_Rice, Horn 41, Horn 39.( MENAFN - Caribbean News Global) PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands – The Turks and Caicos Islands government (TCIG) with support from the UK government and enterprise providers has confirmed that several segments of TCIG's Network has been compromised. To mitigate against the cyber breach, a number of digital applications have been temporarily shut down to contain the threat and reduce further exposure. Impacted ministries and departments have activated their business continuity plans to ensure the public can continue to access Government services. In most instances, this includes implementing manual processes. Consequently, this will result in disruption and delays to service delivery. Two of the main digital applications impacted are TCIG's revenue collection and payment systems. Subsequently, the ministry of finance has taken several actions, these include: Separately, but related – the ministry of immigration and Border Force has issued instructions on how the public can continue to access their services, including Customs Clearance.

The only significant news item about Accenture ( ACN 1.28% ) Friday was a positive one -- a top investment bank upgraded its recommendation on the stock and cranked its price target higher. The shares experienced a modest rally as a result, ultimately closing the day a little over 1% higher. That was high enough to beat the 0.3% rise of the S&P 500 index. It's gold, says Goldman The finance sector mainstay in question was Goldman Sachs . Well before market open, its analyst, James Schneider, flipped his recommendation on Accenture stock to buy from his preceding neutral. His new price target on the shares is $420 apiece, where formerly it was $370. According to reports, Schneider pointed out that the company is the top provider in the world for its specialty, IT services. Its time is coming, the pundit believes, as cyclical headwinds from client industries like finance and healthcare are starting to fade. In fact, Accenture is one of the businesses best positioned to benefit from this development. The analyst also touched on the company's embrace of artificial intelligence (AI), writing that it has excellent generative AI capabilities. As such, it's sure to be a partner of choice for businesses wanting to expand their involvement with this white-hot technology. Open those coffers Accenture has a very wide and broad client base, so it might be a bit over-optimistic to believe that higher budgets in a few will juice Accenture's fundamentals. Yet a rise in spending on IT services by various types of businesses is entirely realistic to expect, especially in regards to AI. Accenture doesn't feel like a screaming buy to me, but it's certainly a stock worth keeping an eye on.

FBC GlanceThe Seahawks are bringing quarterback Jaren Hall up from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Jets. Hall was a Vikings fifth-round pick in 2023 and he signed with the Seahawks in September. This is the first time that he has been called up to the active roster, but he made a pair of starts for Minnesota during his rookie season. Hall was 13-of-20 for 168 yards in three overall appearances. Neither Geno Smith nor Sam Howell is dealing with an injury, which may mean Hall is being called up as a reward for his practice work. The Seahawks are also elevating safety Ty Okada. Okada has been called up two other times and the Seahawks listed safety AJ Finley as questionable to play.
