The US National Retail Federation report of tariffs predicts a demand reduction for Chinese manufactured products. Trump, citing frustration over drugs and illegal migrants, has announced plans to introduce 25% tariffs on goods entering the US from Canada and Mexico and to increase tariffs on China by 10%. Few can doubt Donald Trump ’s trade intentions once he takes office in January. In a recent social media post, the US President-elect promised: “On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States.” In a separate post he announced there would be a further 10% tariff on imports from China. Though New Zealand goods are exempt at this stage, we can expect indirect impacts from a variety of directions.

From Washington we've been hearing the expression "lame duck" quite a bit lately, but it has not of course been a discussion about the health of the waterfowl population in the American capital but a reference to Joe Biden as he completes his final term as president. According to the Oxford English Dictionary lame duck refers to someone "continuing in a post, but with little power, influence or enthusiasm." The expression apparently dates back to the 18th century and became a familiar term at the London Stock Exchange regarding unsuccessful stockbrokers who couldn't pay their debts. People may well ask why it was ducks and not other birds which were unfortunate enough to be landed with the "lame" tag. After all it's hardly positive PR for the common duck. You only have to look at a duck and the word "lame" springs to mind. The alternatives are not very appealing, however. A "hamstrung heron.",. "pickled parrot", "plastered partridge" or "incapacitated ostrich" don't quite create the required image in the same way as the poor old duck. One explanation is that ducks were traditionally a popular target for hunting expeditions in which some of them were shot but not necessarily killed, which left them lame. Unfortunately in this unforgiving world the lame ducks then became "sitting ducks" and ultimately "dead ducks." And after that it was only a matter of time before they were sitting on the dining table as "duck l'orange". Gourmet surprise Duck featured in a famous Fawlty Towers episode "Gourmet Night" in which Basil (John Cleese) attempts to introduce haute cuisine to attract a better class of clientele, or as he so eloquently puts it, "no riff-raff". Unfortunately his dreams of gourmet bliss are thwarted by a drunken chef. At one stage we are even treated to the unforgettable sight of Basil impersonating a duck. Eventually Basil informs guests they are limited to a choice of Duck With Orange, Duck With Cherries or the intriguing Duck Surprise which turns out to be duck without orange or cherries. It will come as no surprise the gourmet night was not a success. Howzat! It is not only in politics that the English language is unkind to ducks. In sport it's a word no cricketer wants to hear. When someone is out for a duck it means they were dismissed without scoring a run. Even worse is a "golden duck" when you are out first ball. I regrettably know all about this, having suffered that fate too many times. For the curious, cricketers originally called nought a "duck" because a duck's egg is a very similar shape to the number zero. Gershwin and Miles I didn't realise this year marked the 100th anniversary of the George Gershwin classic Rhapsody in Blue until I read John Clewley's informative column in Life (19/11). It was one of the first albums I bought as a teenager in the early 1960s. My mum was delighted as she was getting weary of the early Elvis hits and the rest of the rock and roll "racket" I was listening to on the radio. It wasn't long before I purchased the Porgy and Bess album by the magnificent jazz trumpeter Miles Davis with the Gil Evans orchestra. I remember the first time I played it to my dad he grudgingly admitted it was "an improvement on the usual stuff" I listened to although he wasn't keen on the " trumpeter's squeaky bits". I still play the album on a regular basis. It includes wonderful interpretations of Summertime, It Ain't Necessarily So and I Loves You Porgy . About Elvis... I should explain my reference to Elvis. Back in 1956 when I had already been packed off to bed, my older brother Eric was downstairs in the kitchen tuning in to Radio Luxembourg and the amazing sounds of Heartbreak Hotel and Don't be Cruel came thundering up the stairs. I had never heard anything like it. Later there was Hound Dog and Jailhouse Rock. It was raw, unrestrained and so different to the fluff I had been brought up on. Alas, a few years later I was sorry to see Elvis opting for the Hollywood movie route and sadly many of his songs became as bland as his films. He was a good guy though. Living in hope You may recall that earlier this month Collins Dictionary announced "brat" as its word of the year, a not particularly appealing offering I might say. Now Cambridge Dictionary have come up with their own word which they say was looked up nearly 130,000 times this year on their website. The word is "manifest" which Cambridge defines as "to use methods such as visualisation and affirmation to help you imagine achieving something you want, in the belief that in doing so will make it more likely to happen.'' Sounds like a long-winded way of saying "hope for the best". Food for thought One of the Cambridge runner-up words for 2024 was "ecotarian" which apparently means a "person who only eats food produced or prepared in a way that does not harm the environment." That sounds like someone who could become an incredibly boring guest at a dinner party. Anyway, having just polished off a plate of bacon and eggs I suspect that rules out any claims I might have to being a budding "ecotarian."

Nebraska will be trying to preserve its perfect in-state record when it hosts South Dakota on Wednesday night in a nonconference game in Lincoln, Neb. The Cornhuskers (4-1) are 3-0 at home and also won Friday at then-No. 14 Creighton, beating their in-state rivals on the road for the second straight time. But the last time they did that, in 2022, they followed that win with a 16-point loss at Indiana to open Big Ten Conference play. "Believe me, we've addressed a lot of things," Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg said. "A lot of people are saying some really positive things. You've got to find a way to put that behind you. I've liked how our team has responded and come back to work after that great win at Creighton." Brice Williams leads the Cornhuskers with 18.2 points per game and was one of five players in double figures against Creighton. Juwan Gary topped the list with 16. South Dakota (6-2) comes to town off a 112-50 home win Monday night over Randall, the third non-Division I school it has beat. The Coyotes' last game against a D1 opponent was Friday at Southern Indiana, resulting in a 92-83 loss. This will be South Dakota's second nonconference game against a Big Ten opponent, after a 96-77 loss at Iowa on Nov. 12. In December, the Coyotes also visit Santa Clara, hovering near the top 100 in KenPom adjusted efficiency, before jumping into Big Sky play. "The schedule is very good and that should help us," third-year South Dakota coach Eric Peterson said before the season. "We have some good nonconference games that should help prepare us for the end of the season." Nebraska has held four of its opponents to 67 or fewer points, with Saint Mary's the only one to top that number in the Cornhuskers' lone loss. Opponents are shooting 38.1 percent this season. South Dakota shot below 40 percent in its two previous games before shooting 62 percent against Randall. Isaac Bruns, who scored 20 to lead South Dakota in the Randall game, paces the Coyotes with 12.9 points per game. --Field Level MediaCryptocurrencies are reshaping the financial landscape with innovative solutions, legal battles, and market volatility. Among the prominent stories in this sphere, Qubetics’ presale strategy promises to redefine financial interactions, Bitcoin finds itself embroiled in legal disputes, and Ethereum faces price challenges despite its robust ecosystem. These developments highlight the rapidly evolving nature of the cryptocurrency market. Qubetics: A Vision to Revolutionize Finance Qubetics is carving its path to becoming a global leader in blockchain-driven financial services. With a mission to revolutionise financial interactions, Qubetics focuses on providing a secure, user-friendly, and inclusive platform for managing tokenised assets and enabling efficient cross-border payments. It envisions a future where financial services, tokenised asset trading, and payment solutions are accessible to everyone, regardless of geographical or economic barriers. The project is currently in Presale Phase 13, with a dynamic pricing model that ensures consistent growth. Each week, the price of $TICS tokens increases by 10%, culminating in a 20% rise in the final phase. At $0.034 per token, Qubetics has raised over $7.3 million, attracting more than 10,900 holders and selling 363 million tokens. This phased approach rewards early adopters and builds momentum as the project progresses. Tokenomics is strategically designed to balance demand and value, offering long-term growth opportunities for investors. Qubetics aims to set new standards in blockchain technology by combining innovation with accessibility, making it a cornerstone of the future financial ecosystem. Bitcoin: Legal Drama Surrounding Satoshi Nakamoto's Identity Bitcoin, the pioneer of cryptocurrencies, remains at the centre of legal and ethical debates. The latest controversy involves Craig Wright, a computer scientist who has falsely claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin. His relentless legal pursuits and contentious claims have sparked widespread criticism. In March, the High Court ruled that Wright was not Satoshi and ordered him to cease making such assertions. However, he continued filing lawsuits to assert intellectual property rights over Bitcoin, even claiming $1.2 trillion in damages. This defiance led to a contempt of court ruling, with a judge sentencing him to 12 months in prison, suspended for two years. Wright now faces imprisonment if he persists in his claims. The legal proceedings have taken on an international dimension as Wright, who lives outside the UK, refused to disclose his current location during a recent court appearance via video link. The court described his actions as "legal terrorism," emphasising the personal and financial toll his campaigns have inflicted on others. Ethereum: Price Declines Amid Market Uncertainty Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, has recently faced significant price volatility. Following the Federal Reserve’s decision to revise its projected rate cuts for 2025, Ethereum’s value dipped below the critical $3,550 support level. The bearish sentiment resulted in a more than 10% drop over four days, marking one of Ethereum’s worst weekly performances since July. Despite the downturn, on-chain metrics suggest that the price decline may be temporary. Data indicates that most selling activity stems from short-term holders who purchased Ethereum within the past year. Long-term holders largely remain inactive, signalling confidence in Ethereum’s long-term potential. Ethereum’s struggles reflect broader market trends, with its decline outpacing other major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Solana. However, Ethereum’s foundational role in decentralised finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) underscores its importance in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. This dip may be seen as a temporary setback rather than a fundamental shift in its trajectory. Conclusion The cryptocurrency market continues to be a dynamic and multifaceted space. Qubetics is poised to lead the way with its innovative approach to blockchain technology and tokenised asset management, offering a glimpse into the future of financial interactions. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s legal challenges serve as a reminder of the complexities and controversies inherent in this space. Despite facing short-term price declines, Ethereum remains a cornerstone of the blockchain ecosystem, with metrics indicating strong long-term potential. As these narratives unfold, they highlight the diversity and resilience of the cryptocurrency market. Investors and enthusiasts must navigate this ever-changing landscape with an eye on innovation and caution, as the stories of Qubetics, Bitcoin, and Ethereum illustrate the opportunities and challenges of this transformative industry.

Shares vs. property: Biggest investment trends of 2024

Washington — House Republicans on Thursday blocked two Democratic resolutions that would have compelled the House Ethics Committee to release a potentially damaging report on its investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz, voting to refer the matter back to the committee. Democratic Reps. Sean Casten of Illinois and Steve Cohen of Tennessee introduced twin privileged resolutions, forcing floor action within two legislative days. In a 206 to 198 vote, all but one Republican voted to refer Casten's resolution back to the Ethics Committee. Cohen's resolution met the same fate in a 204 to 198 vote, with one Republican voting with Democrats. Republican Rep. Tom McClintock of California was the only member to cross party lines. In a statement, Casten accused his Republican colleagues of voting "to sweep these allegations under the rug and set an unfortunate precedent." He said he would continue to pursue the report's release. The votes came after President-elect Donald Trump announced last month that he intended to nominate Gaetz for attorney general, prompting intense scrutiny over the Florida Republican's background and the House Ethics Committee's investigation into allegations that Gaetz engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use. Gaetz, who has denied the allegations, withdrew from consideration for the attorney general nomination a little over a week after Trump made the announcement. Gaetz immediately resigned from Congress after Trump announced he wanted the Florida Republican to join his Cabinet. The timing of his resignation came days before the House panel was set to vote on releasing its report on Gaetz. House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, urged the committee to keep the report secret, arguing that a former member is beyond the panel's jurisdiction and it would set a "terrible precedent." "I believe it is very important to maintain the House's tradition of not issuing ethics reports on people who are no longer members of Congress," he said on Nov. 15. "The House Ethics Committee's jurisdiction is over sitting members of Congress. That's an important rule." Casten's resolution cited four instances in which the Ethics Committee has released reports on its investigations into members after they've resigned. The bipartisan committee met Nov. 20 to consider whether to release the report , but was evenly split along party lines about how to move forward. A day later, Gaetz withdrew himself from consideration, facing a tenuous path to Senate confirmation. There was growing interest from senators on both sides of the aisle in seeing the report before a confirmation vote. The House Ethics Committee met again Thursday to discuss its investigation into allegations against Gaetz. In a statement, the panel said it is "continuing to discuss the matter." The committee's top Democrat, Rep. Susan Wild of Pennsylvania, who wanted the report made public, did not attend the meeting. Caitlin Yilek is a politics reporter at CBSNews.com, based in Washington, D.C. She previously worked for the Washington Examiner and The Hill, and was a member of the 2022 Paul Miller Washington Reporting Fellowship with the National Press Foundation.

For many women, words from an emboldened fringe of “manosphere” influencers who have seized on Republican Donald Trump ’s presidential win to amplify misogynistic derision and threats online represent a worrying harbinger of what might lie ahead as some men perceive the election results as a rebuke of reproductive and women’s rights. Many of those right-wing influencers have appropriated a 1960s abortion rights rallying cry, declaring “Your body, my choice” at women online and on college campuses. Isabelle Frances-Wright, director of technology and society at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue , a think tank focusing on polarization and extremism, said she had seen a “very large uptick in a number of types of misogynistic rhetoric immediately after the election,” including some “extremely violent misogyny.” The phrase “Your body, my choice” has been largely attributed to an Election Day post on the social platform X from Nick Fuentes, a Holocaust-denying white nationalist and far-right internet personality who dined at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida two years ago (In statements responding to criticism of that event, Trump said he had “never met and knew nothing about” Fuentes before he arrived). Mary Ruth Ziegler, a law professor at the UC Davis School of Law, said the phrase transforms the iconic abortion rights slogan into an attack on women. “The implication is that men should have control over or access to sex with women,” said Ziegler, a reproductive rights expert. Fuentes’ post had 35 million views on X within 24 hours, according to a report by Frances-Wright’s think tank. The phrase spread rapidly to other social media platforms. Women on TikTok have reported seeing it inundate their comments. The slogan also has made its way offline with boys chanting it in middle schools or men directing it at women on college campuses, according to the Institute for Strategic Dialogue report and social media posts. School districts have sent notices about the language to parents. T-shirts emblazoned with the phrase were pulled off Amazon. Sadie Perez, a 19-year-old political science student in Wisconsin, said she has seen men respond to shared Snapchat stories for their college class with “Your body, my choice.” “It makes me feel disgusted and infringed upon,” she said. “... It feels like going backwards.” Misogynistic attacks have been part of the social media landscape for years. But Frances-Wright and others who track online extremism and disinformation said language glorifying violence against women or celebrating the possibility of their rights being stripped away has spiked since the election. Online declarations for women to “Get back in the kitchen” or to “Repeal the 19th,” a reference to the constitutional amendment that gave women the right to vote, have spread rapidly. In the days surrounding the election, the extremism think tank, which has an office in Washington D.C., found that the top 10 posts on X calling for repeal of the 19th Amendment received more than 4 million views collectively. A man holding a sign with the words “Women Are Property” sparked an outcry at Texas State University . The man was not a student, faculty or staff, and was escorted off campus, according to the university’s president . Anonymous rape threats have been left on the TikTok videos of women denouncing the election results. And on the far-flung reaches of the web, 4chan forums have called for “rape squads” and the adoption of policies in “The Handmaid’s Tale,” a dystopian book and TV series depicting the dehumanization and brutalization of women. “What was scary here was how quickly this also manifested in offline threats,” Frances-Wright said, emphasizing that online discourse can have real-world impacts. Previous violent rhetoric on 4chan has been connected to racially motivated and antisemitic attacks, including a 2022 shooting by a white supremacist in Buffalo that killed 10 people .

The Global Project Against Hate and Extremism reported similar rhetoric, with “numerous violent misogynistic trends” gaining traction on right-wing platforms such 4chan and spreading to more mainstream ones such as X since the election. Throughout the presidential race, Trump’s campaign leaned on conservative podcasts and tailored messaging toward disaffected young men . As Trump took the stage at the Republican National Convention over the summer, the song “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World” by James Brown blared from the speakers. One of several factors to his success this election was modestly boosting his support among men , a shift concentrated among younger voters, according to AP VoteCast, survey of more than 120,000 voters nationwide. But Trump also won support from 44% of women age 18 to 44, according to AP VoteCast. To some men, Trump’s return to the White House is seen as a vindication, gender and politics experts said. For many young women, the election felt like a referendum on women’s rights and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris ’ loss felt like a rejection of their own rights and autonomy. “For some of these men, Trump’s victory represents a chance to reclaim a place in society that they think they are losing around these traditional gender roles,” Frances-Wright said. None of the current online rhetoric is being amplified by Trump or anyone in his immediate orbit. But Trump has a long history of insulting women , and the spike in such language comes after he ran a campaign centered on masculinity with repeated attacks on Harris over race and gender . “With Trump’s victory, many of these men felt like they were heard, they were victorious,” said Dana Brown, executive director of the Pennsylvania Center for Women and Politics. Brown said some young men feel they’re victims of discrimination and have expressed mounting resentment for successes of the women’s rights movement, including #MeToo . The tension also has been influenced by socioeconomic struggles. As women become the majority on college campuses and many professional industries see increasing gender diversity, it has “led to young men scapegoating women and girls, falsely claiming it’s their fault they’re not getting into college anymore as opposed to looking inward,” Brown said.
