CHANGSHA, China , Dec. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Modern China's rural revitalization strategy is crafting a remarkable narrative of transformation across the countryside, while progressive opening-up policies encourage foreign visitors to delve deeper into the nation's heartland. On December 26th , VOC.com.cn premiered the second season of its acclaimed series, I Am in Rural China. The show follows Teona Kvartskhava, an international guest, as she explores the villages of Hunan Province , offering viewers a firsthand look at the dynamic implementation of comprehensive rural revitalization. This captivating series invites a global audience to witness the dawn of a new era in China's rural landscapes, showcasing the country's evolving countryside to viewers worldwide. Rice field came as the first surprise. Hunan is the largest rice grower and producer in China . Hunan provides the high-quality and tasty rice. Teona Kvartskhava, a foreigner hardly feeding on rice, was tempted to have plenty of it. In Qunle Village, Lixian County, Changde, she also experienced "Double Rush", which is a time-honored agricultural event in China . An event that used to call for the joint efforts of all family members, has now become much easier thanks to technology. Departing from Lixian County for the moment, Teona Kvartskhava embarked on an exciting trip of tastes in Rucheng, Chenzhou , Southern Hunan . Hunan people are keen and expert on peppery food and spicy taste dominates the Hunan cuisine. Hunan is also rich in varieties of peppers. Jingpo town, a well-known town where spicy food prevails. It is a producer of red cluster pepper, officially one of the hottest peppers in China . From the crowded market, to the red and yellow pepper planting base, and then to the modern processing pepper workshop, the small cluster pepper strung up all corners of the town, so that the original ordinary mountain town has become extraordinarily lively and affluent. Of course, the "star" of the countryside here is not only agriculture, but also culture, which has also blossomed in this ancient land. As the birthplace of papermaking, China has preserved a unique handmade papermaking technique, which is used to make some "special" papers. In Shanghong Village, Liuyang, Teona Kvartskhava was lucky to meet two Chinese masters, who showed her hands-on experiences of "Gushan Tribute Paper" and "Floral Paper". As the process progresses, the paper took shape in her hands, as if history and culture were meeting in front of her eyes, and became the "first paper" in Teona Kvartskhava's life. So,What's rural China like? It's about hospitable peasants, about various agricultural produce, about profound history and culture, about colorful intangible cultural heritage. It's like a book telling numerous absorbing stories. Hopefully Teona Kvartskhava'll be luckier to visit more villages for their unique interest and charm.

Who is Abu Mohammed al-Golani, the leader of the insurgency that toppled Syria’s Assad?Ruud van Nistelrooy admits he was "hurt" at having to leave Manchester United last month. Van Nistelrooy returned to Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag's assistant in the summer and had a four-game interim spell in charge following his compatriot's sacking in October. He left the club in the wake of Ruben Amorim's appointment but was only out of work for two weeks after being appointed Leicester's new manager on a deal until 2027. The 48-year-old had a glittering playing career with United and was disappointed his return had to end so soon. "The moment I took over the interim job what I said was I’m here to help United and to stay to help United, and I meant it," he said. "So I was disappointed, yeah, very much so, and it hurt I had to leave. "The only job I would take as an assistant was at United because of the bond that I have with the people in the club and the fans. "But in the end I got my head around it because I also understand the new manager. I’m in football long enough, and I’ve managed myself, that you can think of a situation, me being there, I understand. "I spoke to Ruben about it, fair enough to him, the conversation was grateful, man to man, person to person, manager to manager, and that helped a lot to move on and straightaway get into talks with new possibilities which of course lifted my spirits." The Dutchman takes on a difficult job at the King Power Stadium as he is tasked with keeping Leicester in the Premier League. He inherits an influential dressing room, which has seen a number of managers come and go over the last few years. Van Nistelrooy revealed he has done his due diligence and also let the players know as well. "It’s the only way you can work. It’s mutual respect. I also mentioned to the players yesterday that I looked at the squad and started to make phone calls about players, because in football everyone knows everyone," he said. "With two or three phone calls you hear stories about 20 players and for me it was important that you hear there are good characters there. That’s important, that there are good people there. "I look at the players how they play. I obviously don’t know them but I got general information and the individuals that they are a good bunch of people. That was important for me to get in."

Tests keep coming for Auburn and Duke, who collide at Cameron Indoor Stadium in a typical prove-it game in a rare environment on Wednesday night. No. 2 Auburn and No. 9 Duke square off less than one month into the season as two of the most battle-tested teams in basketball. They're matched as one of the marquee games in the crossover showcase known as the ACC-SEC Challenge. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content. Please enable it in your browser settings.College football's conference shakeup left concerns about two super conferences dominating the playoff field . They weren't totally unfounded or 100% borne out, either. The Big Ten, not the Southeastern Conference , was the biggest winner on Sunday. The ACC scored, too. The Big Ten led the initial 12-team playoff field with four programs making the cut, led by a No. 1 Oregon (13-0) team that was part of the Pac-12 exodus. Then came the SEC — and one notable omission. ACC runner-up SMU got the nod over college football blue-blood Alabama, another blemish in Kalen DeBoer's first season as Nick Saban's championship-or-bust successor. Another ego blow: The Mustangs are led by Rhett Lashlee, a former offensive coordinator at rival Auburn. The Big Ten also got in No. 6 seed Penn State (11-2), No. 8 seed Ohio State (10-2) and No. 10 seed Indiana (11-1). The SEC represented well too: No. 2 seed Georgia (11-2), No. 5 seed Texas (11-2) and No. 9 seed Tennessee (10-2). But the ACC proved it wasn't a one-bid league. Clemson (10-3) — the final No. 12 seed with an overall No. 16 CFP ranking — earned the ACC's automatic bid with a 34-31 win in the title game over No. 11 seed SMU (11-2), which was close enough to impress the playoff committee and help the Mustangs edge out the Crimson Tide. The odd man out among Power Four leagues: The Big 12, which unsurprisingly only advanced its champion, Arizona State (11-2) — ranked No. 12 overall by the CFP but awarded the No. 4 seed as the league title winner. The SEC was left with Alabama, South Carolina and Mississippi on the wrong side of the bubble. Mountain West Conference champion Boise State (12-1) got a No. 3 seed and first-round bye. No. 7 seed Notre Dame (11-1), an independent, had no chance to grab a bye despite a No. 5 final CFP ranking. The Fighting Irish at least get to host a first-round game against the in-state Hoosiers.

AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/college-footballThe decision by the New York Giants to replace quarterback Daniel Jones with Tommy DeVito failed to turn around the team's fortune, as the Giants suffered a 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. When asked about the team's issues after New York's losing streak extended to six straight games, star rookie receiver Malik Nabers said the team's play was "soft as f--k." Nabers added the team's struggles weren't due to quarterback play, but he was at a loss for words as to what is actually holding the team back. "I don't know what it is, but I know I'm tired of losing," Nabers told reporters. The Giants were lifeless in front of their home crowd at MetLife Stadium. Their lone touchdown came on a one-yard rush by Devin Singletary early in the fourth quarter when the Bucs had already taken a 30-0 lead. DeVito threw for 189 yards on 21-of-31 passing while adding seven rushes for 32 yards in his first start of the season. While he didn't commit any turnovers, he struggled to connect with New York's playmakers, as Nabers had team-highs of six catches and 64 yards. In addition to the team's lethargic offense, the Giants defense struggled to get a stop all game. New York allowed 450 yards of total offense to Tampa Bay and rushing touchdowns to four different players. At 2-9, the Giants are well out of playoff contention and will likely be undergoing major changes this offseason. Following this week's release of Jones, New York is expected to target a quarterback with its first-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft. The Giants won't have much time to figure out their issues, as they will be back in action on Thanksgiving Day this week in an NFC East clash against the rival Dallas Cowboys.

NoneVC Jenny Fielding, co-founder of Everywhere Ventures and former Techstars managing director, was basically trolling on X when she posted , “Y’all have strong opinions about pre-seed founders who have EAs to help them schedule? Just checking.” Fielding knew the post was “a little bit snarky,” she told TechCrunch, but it sparked a big conversation. Some people suggested that early-stage founders could simply use AI executive assistants. Others grew affronted that a VC implied that they shouldn’t hire a human to assist, even at the earliest stages of their company. Fielding’s point, however, was that founders still hold some misconceptions from the excess funding days of 2020-2021 about appropriate cash management, especially during a startup’s early years, when revenue is scarce. That’s when companies should be working on the basics of building a product that people want to buy. “I was a founder. I started two companies,” she said. “Then I spent seven and a half years at Techstars, really helping very formative companies.” So she tries to “give founders the real information they need, not the fuzzy stuff,” she laughed. While most seed investors, including Fielding, believe founders should spend their raised cash “how they want to,” early-stage VCs will still be judging founders’ cash management, even if the VC is basically a silent partner. “We invest at the earliest stages. We don’t take board seats. We’re entrusting this cash to founders. And so yeah, we look at the operating budget, and we have calls with them quarterly,” Fielding said. Those judgments will materialize when the startup needs to raise its next round and wants its seed/pre-seed VCs to give them warm introductions and raving recommendations to the next crop of investors. So, while executive assistants can be invaluable at established companies, they are also operational overhead positions — not people helping to build and support the early product. Beyond an EA for the CEO, there other titles at an early-stage startup that can be a “red flag” to VCs: COO and CFO. “Oftentimes it’s a third co-founder who doesn’t really know where they fit,” she said, adding that third-wheel co-founders can be “very expensive” both in terms of stock and salaries. “You need to develop a product and then get customers. Not really sure you need the organizational structure of a CFO and COO.” Which brings up the salaries themselves. This is another area where early investors might keep mum but are paying attention. Fielding actually ended a deal when she analyzed the operating expenses of the startup and saw that “the founder was paying himself $300,000,” she said. While that salary might simply be matching the pay at the previous Google or Microsoft role, a reasonable salary at the pre-seed level is between $85,000 and $125,000, she advised. It’s a matter of the math. Even if a founder has raised a healthy $1 million pre-seed but pays themselves $200,000, they’ve already spent a fifth of the money. “We’re not saying you should make $100,000 forever,” she warned, but at the early stage, “you just don’t have that cash to burn.”A dip or deeper decline? Guardiola seeks response to Manchester City slumpFemale photographer at snowy Bills-49ers game wows NFL fans with dedication in freezing conditions READ MORE: Fans fume at ejected Al-Shaair after controversial political message By ERIC BLUM Published: 15:25 EST, 2 December 2024 | Updated: 16:46 EST, 2 December 2024 e-mail 1 View comments One photographer at Sunday's Buffalo Bills game against the San Francisco 49ers has wowed NFL fans on social media with her dedication to her craft. While many layered up to brave the frigid, snowy conditions at the Bills-49ers game, one credentialed photographer on the sidelines did not fall in line. The photographer, later identified on social media as 49ers' staffer Kym Fortino or @kympossible3, had on multiple layers under her jacket and a scarf. Missing was pants and a hat. And at that, Fortino's shorts were incredibly short, having her legs exposed directly to the freezing temperatures. Fortino is pictured wearing a nearly identical outfit at several other 49ers games. It is an outfit more suitable for the sunny California weather compared to a snowstorm. Staying the course earned Fortino a massive amount of respect on social media. The 49ers photographer, Kym Fortino, braved the cold in Western New York in her short shorts The Bills dominated on the field while the attention of the internet has shifted to Fortino's outfit 'Actually she’s with the 49er’s photo group. Also she had no hat on either,' one NFL fan said. 'That just made my day.' 'That’s a Southtown girlie if ever I saw one.' 'Hell yeah!!!' A collection of social-media messages about the photographer in shorts at the Bills-49ers game The Bills did blow out the 49ers 35-10 in a game where the snow rarely let up in Orchard Park. San Francisco is in last place in the NFC West with a 5-7 record and its playoff hopes in serious jeopardy. The 49ers face the Bears on Sunday in Santa Clara, where Fortino's outfit should be more suitable for the weather.

The two housing bills have struggled to attract the support of the opposition or the Greens, with Labor knocking back fresh demands from the latter. Central to the Greens' updated position is funding for 25,000 "shovel-ready" homes not given the go-ahead under the first round of the Housing Australia Future Fund. Labor insists the demand is unlawful and would result in the construction of million-dollar homes that are not value for money. Greens housing spokesman Max Chandler-Mather said his party had designed "a compromise offer that is popular, achievable and easy to accept, it requires no new legislation and sits broadly within government policy". With 30 or so bills still before the parliament, the government has been ramping up pressure on the Greens and the coalition to co-operate. "This is a week where we will see the colour of the eyes of Peter Dutton and the Greens party," Employment Minister Murray Watt told reporters on Sunday.

Ruben Amorim is no miracle worker – Manchester United will have to suffer first before fans get their wishNone

Business Don't miss out on the headlines from Business. Followed categories will be added to My News. There are two clear groups of Australians right now – those with the cash and those without it, and the cash holders are laughing all the way to the bank. The latest figures from financial regulator APRA show households stashed an extra $19.5bn into cash deposits in October, taking their total holdings to a record $1.54 trillion. Research group Canstar says household deposits have risen more than $272bn since the Reserve Bank began raising interest rates in 2022. Meanwhile, the victims of those rate rises – people with home loans – continue to struggle with repayments costing them 62 per cent more than they were paying in 2022, while the relief of potential RBA rate cuts keeps getting pushed further back into 2025. They are losing because others are winning, and the fact that a large chunk of the population continues to hoard cash suggests there is still plenty of money to be spent in the economy to fuel inflation – and that’s not good news for borrowers. Canstar insights director Sally Tindall says most people would not have predicted that deposits would surge at the same time the RBA cash rate remained at 4.35 per cent. “The recent tax cuts and savings from the energy bill rebates could have easily been spent at the shops, but it appears many Australians are far more focused on saving this extra cash than spending it,” Tindall says. The benefits of holding cash are clear, with interest rates near 5 per cent providing a decent income return that was not available for many years, plus your savings are government guaranteed. It’s a brilliant buffer to hold in uncertain times, and economic and political uncertainty may be a reason why people are stashing more cash. However, anyone with a home loan should avoid holding any cash because the numbers don’t stack up. It makes little sense to have money in a bank account paying you 5 per cent, which is then taxed at your marginal rate, when you can instead divert that to your mortgage through offset accounts or redraw facilities, which deliver an instant 7 per cent after-tax saving in interest. If people are following this golden rule of finance, it suggests that the vast majority of Australians’ $1.54 trillion in cash deposits belongs to households that don’t have home loans. That’s a lot of spending power, and could continue to keep Australia’s inflation higher for longer, which will keep the RBA sitting on the sidelines for longer. Bank deposits continue to climb as home loan customers struggle. Picture: iStock The latest Australian Bureau of Statistics monthly Consumer Price Index indicator showed headline inflation steady at an annual rate of 2.1 per cent, which is will within the 2-3 per cent target band the RBA seeks to achieve with its rate movements, as it was pushed lower by temporary government energy bill rebates. However, underlying annual inflation, which strips out the volatile stuff and is the preferred measure for the RBA when watching CPI, rose from 3.2 per cent in September to 3.5 per cent in October. That’s way above the 2-3 per cent target and heading in the wrong direction for borrowers seeking rate relief. Canstar’s Tindall says the latest inflation date points to a May 2025 RBA rate cut at the earliest, and bank forecasters are tipping at least three cuts next year. Borrowers have learned in the past year or two that these forecasts are rubbery at best. As savers continue cheering these ongoing high interest rates, the wealth gap grows.

PACS and certain of the Company's senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in PACS, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting : https://www.bfalaw.com/cases-investigations/pacs-group-inc . Investors have until January 13, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in PACS securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and is captioned Manchin v. PACS Group, Inc. , et al. , No. 24-cv-08636. What is the PACS Lawsuit About? The Complaint alleges that PACS is one of the largest operators of skilled nursing facilities in the United States. As alleged, PACS repeatedly represented to shareholders that it possesses a winning "turnaround" strategy to make its nursing facilities profitable. However, in truth, it is alleged that PACS's turnaround was driven by illicitly accessing Medicare benefits for thousands of patients. On November 4, 2024, prominent investment research firm Hindenburg Research published a report titled: "PACS Group: How to Become A Billionaire In The Skilled Nursing Industry By Systematically Scamming Taxpayers." After a 5-month investigation that included interviews with 18 former PACS employees, competitors, and an analysis of more than 900 PACS facility cost reports, Hindenburg alleged that "PACS abused a COVID-era waiver, inappropriately accessing skilled care Medicare benefits for thousands of patients across its national portfolio of facilities." Hindenburg further estimated that "the scheme drove more than 100% of PACS' operating and net income from 2020 – 2023, enabling PACS to IPO in early 2024 with the illusion of legitimate growth and profitability." On November 6, 2024, PACS then announced that it was postponing its Q3 earnings and that it had "received civil investigative demands from the federal government regarding the Company's reimbursement and referral practices that may or may not be related to this week's third-party report." The news caused a significant decline in the price of PACS stock. On November 4, 2024, the price of the company's stock fell 27.8%, from a closing price of $42.94 per share on November 1, 2024, to $31.01 per share on November 4, 2024. On November 6, 2024, the price of the company's stock fell 38.8%, from a closing price of $29.54 per share on November 5, 2024, to $18.09 per share on November 6, 2024.
