super ace 2022

Jason Kelce , 37, found success playing football for the Philadelphia Eagles, while his brother, Travis Kelce , 35, followed a similar path — only for the Kansas City Chiefs. While the siblings are incredibly close, that doesn't mean things don't get tense when they played against each other on the field during their previous matches. Jason retired from football, and his wife, Kylie Kelce, 32, recently announced they are welcoming another daughter. Jason now appears on ESPN's Monday Night Countdown , after joining the show in May of this year. In a recent episode, he was asked what it was like playing against Travis. "It's annoying is what it is," Jason said. "He's so good, that's why. I was only fortunate to beat Trav once, but yeah, when you're out there on the field and you're getting ready to play your brother... There's just something about seeing your brother out there. You get this flashback to being out in the backyard playing football again." During Super Bowl LVII in 2023, their teams faced off against one another, with the Chiefs and Travis claiming the victory. Although this was their most notable competition, it wasn't the only time they battled it out on the field. The Chiefs (with Travis) won a home game in 2017 and an away game against the Eagles in 2021. Meanwhile, Jason, and the Eagles won a November 2023 away game against the Chiefs. In a previous episode of the brothers' joint podcast, New Heights , Jason shared that it's not all negative between the two. "We genuinely love playing against each other," Jason pointed out. "There's a lot of familiarity within both organizations, there's a lot of our friends and family that get excited and get to watch one game where both of us are playing. So all of that means a lot to us and we get to enjoy that for the entire week." Travis also praised his brother following the Philly team's losses, telling Sports Illustrated (via People ): "There's nothing really I can say to him other than I love him and he played a hell of a year, a hell of a season."South Korea’s conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol declared “emergency martial law” early Tuesday in a surprise move that rattled equities with exposure to South Korean markets. South Korea’s President accused the country’s opposition Democratic Party of sympathizing with North Korea and undermining South Korea’s parliament with anti-state activities. South Korea’s Parliament stepped in hours after President Yoon Suk Yeol’s announcement to soundly reject the South Korean President’s call for martial law. The South Korean Won stabilized slightly, paring back the day’s losses to settle USD/KRW near 1420.00 after the day’s early spike into 1445.00 early Tuesday. President Yook Suk Yeol has been embroiled in a fierce battle with the opposition party, which is broadly favored to win the next election in 2027. South Korea’s Democratic Party has been pushing for impeachment articles against top conservative officials in prosecutor positions after President Yoon Suk Yeol rejected calls for investigations into multiple government scandals perpetrated by the South Korean President’s wife and several top officials within the conservative People Power Party. USD/KRW daily chart Risk sentiment FAQs In the world of financial jargon the two widely used terms “risk-on” and “risk off'' refer to the level of risk that investors are willing to stomach during the period referenced. In a “risk-on” market, investors are optimistic about the future and more willing to buy risky assets. In a “risk-off” market investors start to ‘play it safe’ because they are worried about the future, and therefore buy less risky assets that are more certain of bringing a return, even if it is relatively modest. Typically, during periods of “risk-on”, stock markets will rise, most commodities – except Gold – will also gain in value, since they benefit from a positive growth outlook. The currencies of nations that are heavy commodity exporters strengthen because of increased demand, and Cryptocurrencies rise. In a “risk-off” market, Bonds go up – especially major government Bonds – Gold shines, and safe-haven currencies such as the Japanese Yen, Swiss Franc and US Dollar all benefit. The Australian Dollar (AUD), the Canadian Dollar (CAD), the New Zealand Dollar (NZD) and minor FX like the Ruble (RUB) and the South African Rand (ZAR), all tend to rise in markets that are “risk-on”. This is because the economies of these currencies are heavily reliant on commodity exports for growth, and commodities tend to rise in price during risk-on periods. This is because investors foresee greater demand for raw materials in the future due to heightened economic activity. The major currencies that tend to rise during periods of “risk-off” are the US Dollar (USD), the Japanese Yen (JPY) and the Swiss Franc (CHF). The US Dollar, because it is the world’s reserve currency, and because in times of crisis investors buy US government debt, which is seen as safe because the largest economy in the world is unlikely to default. The Yen, from increased demand for Japanese government bonds, because a high proportion are held by domestic investors who are unlikely to dump them – even in a crisis. The Swiss Franc, because strict Swiss banking laws offer investors enhanced capital protection.

The United States is a paradox: Media and public opinion polls portray us as a nation divided along partisan lines, but deeper research reveals that Americans share common ground on many core values and political issues. As a political philosopher , I worry about the growing chasm between our shared concerns and the often ugly polarization that divides the electorate. As we gather with family and friends who may have voted for different candidates this Thanksgiving, let’s keep in mind the many things we do agree on. A fuller awareness of our shared principles – particularly on what are so often presented as divisive policy issues – can help us listen to and respect one another over the dinner table conversation, even if it turns to politics. Cultivating political civility and unity in our private lives is a modest yet indispensable act that we all can undertake to defend and nurture the norms and culture of democracy – even if some of our political representatives fail to set the same example in public life. For starters, there is huge agreement among Americans on issues such as taxes, immigration and the economy, a 2023 survey by the American Communities Project found . There is also strong support for fundamental democratic principles , including equal protection under the law, voting rights and our First Amendment freedoms of religion, assembly, speech and the press. Judy Ho Oct. 29, 2024 In survey after survey, a majority of Americans say abortion should be legal in most or all cases. There is also broad support for high-quality health care that is accessible to all . A majority of U.S. citizens acknowledge the reality of human-caused climate change and endorse the development of renewable energy , though they may differ on how to achieve those goals. Too often positions are treated as adversarial when in fact they can be compatible – and voters with nuanced views may actually hold both positions. For example, there is broad support for stronger gun control regulations , as well as support for the right to bear arms. For all the bitterness of the 2024 presidential election, the top concerns were widely shared across party lines. Both Republicans and Democrats ranked the economy as a top political priority. A shared pessimism over the economy clearly helped Donald Trump win the election. On immigration, another key factor in the election, Americans have a positive view of legal immigration , though that sentiment has declined in recent years . Today, most Americans want to see immigration reduced . Part of the tension in the nation’s thinking about immigration stems from a political culture that is more responsive to sensationalism and disinformation than to sober consideration and discussion of the pros and cons of immigration. Much of the discourse was marred by fictional and bigoted tales of immigrants eating pets and false portrayals of most immigrants as criminals . Even shared political perceptions aren’t always based on good evidence or reasons. Despite sharing common ground, Americans perceive the nation as deeply polarized , and constant exposure to disinformation makes it nearly impossible to sort fact from fiction. Indeed, the perception of division can itself fuel distrust where commonality might otherwise be found. This perception of polarization can be exploited by partisans with something to gain. When people are told that experts are divided on an issue, such as climate change, it leads to distrust and polarization . Conversely, emphasizing scientific consensus tends to unify public concern and action. The perception that Americans are more divided than we are poses an enormous threat to democracy. People begin to see even neighbors and family members who vote differently as enemies rather than fellow citizens. Stress about holiday interactions with relatives who voted differently is leading some people to cancel family gatherings rather than spend time together. If people are too busy attacking each other, they will miss opportunities to unite, and they will fail to recognize the real threats to their shared values. Johnny C. Taylor Jr. July 19, 2024 Recognizing the public’s shared values is an important first step in healing political divides. Philosopher Robert B. Talisse has argued that one way to get started might be refocusing attention on nonpolitical community projects that bring together people who don’t normally think of each other as allies. That includes civic or sports clubs and local community events. These are collaborative in a way that supports community identity rather than partisan identity. It is an exercise in rebuilding civic trust and recognizing each other as fellow citizens, and perhaps even friends, without the tension of partisan politics. Once this trust in each other’s civic identity is healed, it can open a door for meaningful political discussion and understanding of each other’s concerns. Including at holiday gatherings.

UConn coach Dan Hurley told reporters Tuesday that star forward Alex Karaban is out for Wednesday's top-25 matchup against visiting Baylor. Karaban was transported to a hospital in Hawaii last Wednesday after sustaining a head injury during an 85-67 loss to Dayton on the final day of the Maui Invitational. Karaban hit the floor after being fouled on a contested layup with approximately 2 1/2 minutes left in the second half. He was later cleared to fly home with the rest of the team on Thursday. The junior sat out Saturday's 99-45 win over Maryland Eastern Shore, but now he will miss a more important game that pits the No. 25 Huskies (5-3) against the No. 15 Bears (5-2) in the Big 12-Big East Battle. Karaban has been UConn's leading scorer (15.9 ppg), adding 4.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. A starter for each of the Huskies' last two national championship-winning seasons, Karaban owns career averages of 11.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. Jaylin Stewart drew into the starting lineup in Karaban's place against UMES. --Field Level MediaHOUSTON (AP) — An elaborate parody appears to be behind an effort to resurrect Enron, the Houston-based energy company that exemplified the worst in American corporate fraud and greed after it went bankrupt in 2001. If its return is comedic, some former employees who lost everything in Enron’s collapse aren’t laughing. “It’s a pretty sick joke and it disparages the people that did work there. And why would you want to even bring it back up again?” said former Enron employee Diana Peters, who represented workers in the company’s bankruptcy proceedings. Here’s what to know about the history of Enron and the purported effort to bring it back. Once the nation’s seventh-largest company, Enron filed for bankruptcy protection on Dec. 2, 2001, after years of accounting tricks could no longer hide billions of dollars in debt or make failing ventures appear profitable. The energy company's collapse put more than 5,000 people out of work and wiped out more than $2 billion in employee pensions. Its aftershocks were felt throughout the energy sector. Twenty-four Enron executives , including former CEO Jeffrey Skilling , were convicted for their roles in the fraud. Enron founder Ken Lay’s convictions were vacated after he died of heart disease following his 2006 trial. On Monday — the 23rd anniversary of the bankruptcy filing — a company representing itself as Enron announced in a news release it was relaunching as a “company dedicated to solving the global energy crisis.” It also posted a video on social media, advertised on at least one Houston billboard and a took out a full-page ad in the Houston Chronicle In the minute-long video full of generic corporate jargon, the company talks about “growth” and “rebirth.” It ends with the words, “We’re back. Can we talk?” In an email, company spokesperson Will Chabot said the new Enron was not doing any interviews yet, but "We’ll have more to share soon.” Signs point to the comeback being a joke. In the “terms of use and conditions of sale” on the company's website, it says “the information on the website about Enron is First Amendment protected parody, represents performance art, and is for entertainment purposes only.” Documents filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office show College Company, an Arkansas-based LLC, owns the Enron trademark. The co-founder of College Company is Connor Gaydos, who helped create a joke conspiracy theory claiming all birds are actually government surveillance drones. Peters said she and some other former employees are upset and think the relaunch was “in poor taste.” “If it’s a joke, it’s rude, extremely rude. And I hope that they realize it and apologize to all of the Enron employees,” Peters said. Peters, 74, said she is still working in information technology because “I lost everything in Enron, and so my Social Security doesn’t always take care of things I need done.” “Enron’s downfall taught us critical lessons about corporate ethics, accountability, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Enron’s legacy was the employees in the trenches. Leave Enron buried,” she said. But Sherron Watkins, Enron’s former vice president of corporate development and the main whistleblower who helped uncover the scandal, said she didn’t have a problem with the joke because comedy “usually helps us focus on an uncomfortable historical event that we’d rather ignore.” “I think we use prior scandals to try to teach new generations what can go wrong with big companies,” said Watkins, who still speaks at colleges and conferences about the Enron scandal. This story was corrected to fix the spelling of Ken Lay’s first name, which had been misspelled “Key.” Follow Juan A. Lozano on X at https://x.com/juanlozano70

Regional parties future of Indian politics: KTRFox Sports analyst Colin Cowherd shared some opinions with his audience during an episode of "The Herd" on Tuesday, singing the praises of former Oregon Duck and current Denver Bronco Bo Nix. In a 56-second clip posted to TikTok and various other social media platforms, Cowherd could be heard listing Nix's strengths and explaining why he believes the Broncos' signal-caller could be their next franchise quarterback. "There's nothing here that doesn't look like a star, franchise quarterback, and this is probably the worst roster he'll ever have," Cowherd said. "Arm is better than we think, super athletic, calm but confident, with a great coach." Cowherd partially credits Denver head coach Sean Payton for the early success of his rookie quarterback. Nix has thrown for 2,548 yards and 16 touchdowns compared to just six interceptions so far this season. "It's like boxing and having a great cornerman," Cowherd said. "And I think that's what Bo Nix has." Jerry Lai-Imagn Images In his last two games alone, the former Duck has tallied nearly 600 yards and six touchdowns through the air, entering offensive rookie of the year conversations. "This is not dink-and-dunk stuff. He is aggressive," Cowherd said. "On passes 15-plus yards down the field against the Raiders, he had a 129 passer rating. In fact, his last five games, Bo Nix, throwing 10-plus yards down the field, has a 127 passer rating." In the last two weeks, Nix's rookie of the year odds have improved from as poor as +3000 to just +110 according to DraftKings Sportsbook. "All the numbers are telling you," Cowherd said. "The game's not too fast, he's not overwhelmed, he's not throwing bad picks and he's throwing the ball down the field." Nix will hope to justify Cowherd's praises as the Broncos host the Cleveland Browns on Monday. Kickoff is set for 5:15 p.m. PST and the game will air on ESPN.

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola denied he has a “personal problem” with Kevin De Bruyne and insisted Tuesday the playmaker's absence from the team in recent weeks was down to his fitness issues. City has not won in seven games in all competitions — its worst run under Guardiola — and De Bruyne has featured only as a substitute in the last five of those matches after recovering from a pelvic injury. The Belgium midfielder was injured during City’s Champions League match with Inter Milan on Sept. 18 and hasn't started since. A number of prominent pundits, including former City defender and club ambassador Micah Richards, have questioned why De Bruyne has not been starting games amid the champions’ dramatic slump. Richards said on “The Rest is Football” podcast that it appeared “there’s some sort of rift going on” between De Bruyne and Guardiola. Guardiola responded in his news conference ahead of Wednesday's Premier League match against Nottingham Forest, saying: “People say I’ve got a problem with Kevin. Do you think I like to not play with Kevin? No, I don’t want Kevin to play? “The guy who has the most talent in the final third — I don’t want it? I have a personal problem with him after nine years together? He’s delivered to me the biggest success to this club, but he’s been five months injured (last season) and two months injured (this year). He’s 33 years old. He needs time to find his best, like last season, step by step. He’ll try to do it and feel better. I’m desperate to have his best.” Both De Bruyne and Guardiola have spoken since of the pain De Bruyne was in after his injury against Inter and the need to ease him back into action. De Bruyne is in the final year of his contract. “I’d love to have the Kevin in his prime, 26 or 27. He would love it too — but he is not 26 or 27 anymore," Guardiola said. “He had injuries in the past, important and long ones. He is a guy who needs to be physically fit for his space and energy. You think I’m complaining? It’s normal, it’s nature. He’s played in 10 or 11 seasons a lot of games and I know he is desperate to help us. He gives glimpses of brilliance that only he can have."

The New York Democrat is calling on the Department of Homeland Security to immediately deploy special technology that identifies and tracks drones back to their landing spots, according to briefings from his office. Schumer’s calls come amid growing public concern that the federal government hasn’t offered clear explanations as to who is operating the drones, and has not stopped them. National security officials have said the drones don’t appear to be a sign of foreign interference. “There’s a lot of us who are pretty frustrated right now,” said Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, on Fox News Sunday. “The answer ‘We don’t know’ is not a good enough answer.” President-elect Donald Trump posted on social media last week: “Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge? I don’t think so. Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down.” Certain agencies within the Department of Homeland Security have the power to “incapacitate” drones, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Sunday. “But we need those authorities expanded,” he said, without saying exactly how. The drones don’t appear to be linked to foreign governments, Mayorkas said. “We know of no foreign involvement with respect to the sightings in the Northeast. And we are vigilant in investigating this matter,” Mayorkas said. Last year, federal aviation rules began requiring certain drones to broadcast their identities. It’s not clear whether that information has been used to determine who is operating the drones swarming locations in New York and New Jersey. Mayorkas’ office didn’t immediately respond to questions about whether they’ve been able to identify drones using this capability. Schumer is calling for recently declassified radar technology to be used to help determine whether an object is a drone or a bird, identify its electronic registration, and follow it back to its landing place. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Sunday said federal officials were sending a drone detection system to the state. “This system will support state and federal law enforcement in their investigations,” Hochul said in a statement. The governor did not immediately provide additional details, including where the system will be deployed. Dozens of mysterious nighttime flights started last month over New Jersey, raising concerns among residents and officials. Part of the worry stems from the flying objects initially being spotted near the Picatinny Arsenal, a U.S. military research and manufacturing facility and over Trump’s golf course in Bedminster. Drones are legal in New Jersey for recreational and commercial use, but they are subject to local and Federal Aviation Administration regulations and flight restrictions. Operators must be FAA certified.
