online casino philippines milyon88 Electric Heater Market Size, Latest Growth, Forecast By 2024 - 2032Real Madrid got a much-needed 3-2 Champions League win at Atalanta on Tuesday thanks to goals from Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham as the holders snapped a two-game loosing run in the competition. Real handed the Serie A leaders their first defeat in this season's revamped Champions League after Mbappe gave them the lead with a strike from inside the box in the 10th minute before he was forced off with an injury. Charles de Ketelaere equalised with a penalty after Aurelien Tchouameni tripped Sead Kolasinac from behind just before the break but Vinicius Jr stroked home a rebound in the 56th minute to put the visitors back in front. Bellingham extended their lead after a counter attack three minutes later but Ademola Lookman reduced the deficit in the 65th before Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois worked his magic with a string of saves to secure a hard-fought win. With two games left, Real are 18th in the 36-team table on nine points, three points off the top eight spots which secure direct qualification to the last 16. Atalanta are ninth on 11 points. Michael Olise netted a second-half brace as Bayern Munich came back from conceding an early goal to win 5-1 against Shakhtar Donetsk, their first away victory in this season's competition. Shakhtar went ahead in the fifth minute through Kevin but Bayern levelled six minutes later with Konrad Laimer scoring and they took the lead with a Thomas Mueller goal on the stroke of half time. A penalty converted by Olise in the 70th minute eased the Bayern nerves before Jamal Musiala added a fourth goal three minutes from time and Olise netted again in added time to round off the win. Bayern's third successive win moves them up to eighth in the standings on 12 points while Shakhtar are in 27th on four points. Bayer Leverkusen's Nordi Mukiele scored a 90th-minute goal to give his team a 1-0 win over Inter Milan and move the Germans closer to qualification. It was the first goal Inter conceded in the competition this season and they dropped to fourth on 13 points, behind Leverkusen who are second, also on 13. The Germans, who enjoyed more than 60% of possession, were the better side for most of the game, hitting the post through Nathan Tella early in the match before going close again with shots from Florian Wirtz and Jonathan Tah. But they had to wait until the final minute for Mukiele to slot in after a goalmouth scramble. A fine finish from Goncalo Ramos, a goal from Nuno Mendes and a late strike from Desire Doue gave Paris St Germain a vital victory, as they beat RB Salzburg 3-0 to move into the playoff spots. Luis Enrique's side looked sharp in the first half and Hakimi set up Ramos for the opener on the half-hour mark. Mendes doubled their advantage in the 72nd minute with a thunderous left-footed shot from Doue's pass, before the Frenchman added the icing on the cake with a third five minutes from time. PSG, who have made a terrible start to their campaign, now sit 24th in the standings just inside the playoff positions, with seven points from six games, while Salzburg are 32nd. In the remaining two games Brest defeated PSV Eindhoven to continue their impressive debut European campaign while Club Brugge beat Sporting Lisbon 2-1.Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic’s magnificent seven grand slam finals

Big Ten slate features Indiana-Ohio State showdown and Penn State-Minnesota matchup Things to watch this week in the Big Ten Conference: No. 5 Indiana (10-0, 7-0 Big Ten, No. 5 CFP ) at No. 2 Ohio State (9-1, 6-1, No. 2 CFP), Saturday, noon ET (Fox) This marks the 98th matchup between these two teams, but it's only the fourth time both teams have been ranked. Although Indiana is unbeaten, its soft schedule means the Hoosiers aren't assured of making the 12-team field if they lose this game. The only team with a winning record that Indiana has beaten is Washington (6-5). Ohio State needs a win to have a realistic shot at a rematch with top-ranked Oregon in the Big Ten championship game. Ohio State has beaten Indiana 28 straight times since the Hoosiers posted back-to-back victories in 1987-88. No. 4 Penn State (9-1, 6-1, No. 4 CFP) at Minnesota (6-4, 4-3), Saturday, 3:30 p.m. (CBS) This is likely Penn State's biggest obstacle on its way to a potential playoff berth. The Nittany Lions' lone remaining regular-season game is a Nov. 30 home matchup with Maryland (4-6, 1-6). Minnesota has had an extra week to prepare this game since its 26-19 loss at Rutgers on Nov. 9, which snapped a four-game winning streak. Penn State and Minnesota have split their last four meetings, with the home team winning each time. Penn State DE Abdul Carter has multiple tackles for loss in each of his last three games. He ranks second among all Bowl Subdivision players in tackles for loss (17 1⁄2). Southern California RB Woody Marks rushed for a career-high 146 yards in a 28-20 win over Nebraska. Marks has six 100-yard rushing performances this season. Rutgers RB Kyle Monangai is the first Scarlet Knight to rush for 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons since Ray Rice did it three straight years from 2005-07. Monangai has run for 1,028 yards this season and rushed for 1,262 yards last year. Oregon OLB Matayo Uiagalelei recorded a sack and had a game-clinching interception as the top-ranked Ducks won 16-13 at Wisconsin last week. He has 8 1⁄2 sacks this season to rank second in the Big Ten. Four of the top seven Bowl Subdivision quarterbacks in passer rating are from the Big Ten. Indiana's Kurtis Rourke is second, Ohio State's Will Howard is third, Penn State's Drew Allar is fifth and Oregon's Dillon Gabriel is seventh. ... Illinois QB Luke Altmyer has thrown 18 touchdown passes with only three interceptions. The only Power Four quarterback with a better touchdown/interception ratio while throwing at least 10 touchdown passes is Clemson's Cade Klubnik, who has 26 touchdowns and four interceptions. ... Rutgers' three Big Ten wins matches its largest total since joining the league in 2014. Rutgers also had three conference wins in 2014, 2017, 2020 and 2023. A victory Saturday over No. 24 Illinois would give Rutgers three straight Big Ten wins for the first time. ... Washington's 31-19 win over UCLA was its 20th straight home victory, representing its second-longest such streak in school history. The Huskies won 45 straight home games from 1908-17. ... Wisconsin heads to Nebraska this week having won its last 10 matchups with the Cornhuskers. Penn State justifiably is favored on the road against Minnesota, but Bet MGM's 12 1⁄2-point spread seems way too big. Expect this game to have a single-digit margin.NoneFantasy Basketball Dynasty Weekly: Early Season Risers

The Stillwater Public Schools Board of Education voted to approve an alternative budgeting system for the next school year. At the Nov. 12 board meeting, CFO Kristie Newby proposed switching from the current School Budgeting System to the School Budget Act for the 2025-26 academic school year, a suggestion that had been promoted by former CFOs Jericah Dawson and Michael Arnold. “Part of the change is the way you will see your reports coming in, mainly the budget,” Newby said. The current School Budgeting System relies on a method of Estimation of Needs, where an auditor works with school districts to predict needs for the upcoming school year. That system has been in place since Oklahoma became a state. Newby said with the School Budget Act, an original budget would be presented to the Board in June, although the superintendent would have approved and made any revisions to the budget in May prior to the June board meeting. The budget would then become official July 1, although some parts of the budget could be implemented sooner. For example, Newby said, if a school site needs to submit a purchase order in advance – not spending funds – they would be able to do so not long after the Board adopts the budget. “It’s very convenient for the district,” Newby said. “It allows everybody to have a sense of comfort in where they are at, in knowing what their budget is. Rather than having to wait until October or November, they hit the ground running July 1.” In an Oklahoma Association of School Business Officials workshop in September 2013, which Newby shared with the News Press, J. Bruce Campbell explained that the School Budget Act method allows school board officials, Board members and the public to easily read and understand the budget. The method includes a running list of the actual budget, current school year budget and proposed school year budget for the next year. The new budgeting system provides a copy of the original budget to the state auditor, an independent auditor, the county clerk, the Oklahoma State Department of Education, the district treasurer and an encumbrance clerk. The full budget, when approved July 1, will eliminate “piecemeal budgeting,” avoid duplication of appropriated funds and no longer operate on a “Temporary Appropriation” that could last into September or October. The budget provides “a complete plan for the district,” disclosing financial position and condition, revenues and expenditures and the budget’s message and important features. The budget also lists fund groupings in four places: General Fund, Special Revenue Funds (including Building Fund and Child Nutrition Fund), Debt Service Funds (Sinking Funds) and Capital Improvement Funds (Bond Fund). Any disadvantages include fewer “hidden” dollars, prompt approval of the budget prior to July 1 and extra care required to monitor revenue and expenditures. Newby stressed that the School Budget Act is “very transparent” for both the Board and the public. She said the Council On Student Affairs and its members had encouraged the implementation of the School Budget Act, knowing that it allows the school districts to take a proactive approach to school budgeting, rather than a reactive approach. Newby said the alternative budgeting method would also help give the district a better picture of staffing needs. If desired, the Board may elect to comply with the School Budget Act on an annual basis, and they may choose to return to the old budget system at the beginning of any fiscal year. Board member Roberta Douglas said in her review of the School Budget Act that it “feels very much more like a ‘real time budget.’” At least nine K-12 districts and five technology center districts have adopted the School Budget Act in Oklahoma, including districts such as Cushing, Jenks and Muskogee.

Among the swirling masses of Pax Unplugged , frantically running through the convention’s labyrinthine passages, I desperately search for Room 103. I am late to meet Michaël Croitoriu, the head of Edge Studios, to discuss the new Arkham Horror: The Roleplaying Game Starter Set — a Lovecraftian pulp-horror game that’s meant to bridge the gap between role-players and board gamers . Earlier that week, a review copy had landed on my front door. While the box intrigued me, its wealth of components (which include character portfolios, an assortment of punchboards, handouts, maps, decks of cards, and 24 dice) were as intimidating to this RPG reporter as any eldritch horror . Ten minutes past the hour, weaving past a frenzy of con-goers holding their latest gains, I find Croitoriu waiting for me. As he explains the game, my anxieties slowly fade, replaced by a curiosity about this earnest effort to convert board game purists through the expansive world of Arkham . While at first it seems overwhelming, when broken down, each part of the game is relatively easy to understand. “So easy a 10-year-old could learn it,” was a phrase the Arkham team kept repeating when people walked up to the room for demo play, though they also stated the content of the game was more suitable for ages 14 and up. Leah Hawthorne, one of the game’s lead designers, said she “doesn’t like to use the word simple because then people think it doesn’t have strategic depth.” While the system is easy to learn, there’s an element of resource management built into it that adds the crunchy tactical elements board-gamers are used to. The base mechanic of the system uses a replenishing d6 dice pool, with stats that require a corresponding target number to be met, which are different for each character’s strengths and weaknesses. In combat, damage depletes your dice pool, limiting the number of actions you can take per round until they are replenished. There is no initiative during conflict-oriented scenes, which allows players to strategize with each other and lean into one another’s strengths, rather than place all the focus on a single overpowered character. The set up of the game is also intentionally designed to be game master friendly, adding in more narrative focused elements of the game that ask players to worldbuild alongside the GM in a “bubble of benevolence” a phrase Croitoriu repeated multiple times in our interview. This shared responsibility of play at the table is built into the games’ components, like a GM screen that lies flat on the table, rather than hiding secrets (and rolls) behind it. “The person I am now is the result of the games I played at the table,” Croitoriu said. While the Arkham franchise has previously been known for other tabletop iterations like the original 1987 board game by Richard Lanius, that personal relationship to TTRPGs is why the Arkham Horror RPG “tries to address different preconceptions of RPGs and onboard people into role-playing games.” Among those preconceptions are barriers to entry for people unfamiliar to tabletop gaming — which is why the starter set is broken down into one-hour sessions. Croitoriu believes a lot of pre-game prep is also a barrier, which is why the starter set includes a 48-page tutorial style booklet that teaches players as they go. The RPG core rulebook sits at a reasonable 256 pages, a “threshold [EDGE] will never cross,” Croitoriu said, referencing a line of connected materials that would follow the starter set release in 2025: an adventure collection in March, a free RPG day supplement, a box set at Gen Con, and another sourcebook at Halloween. Arkham Horror RPG Starter Set The box includes a campaign, 5 character portfolios, 24 dice, high quality tokens, 3 double-sided maps, and player handouts.
