By LISA MASCARO and ALANNA DURKIN RICHER WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Ethics Committee’s long-awaited report on Matt Gaetz documents a trove of salacious allegations , including sex with an underage girl, that tanked the Florida Republican’s bid to lead the Justice Department .

For the agents removing immigrants, it’s a painstaking process National Politics | Many Americans have come to rely on Chinese-made drones. Now lawmakers want to ban them Citing text messages, travel receipts, online payments and testimony, the bipartisan committee paints a picture of a lifestyle in which Gaetz and others connected with younger women for drug-fueled parties, events or trips, with the expectation the women would be paid for their participation. The former congressman, who filed a last-minute lawsuit to try to block the report’s release on Monday, slammed the committee’s findings. Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing and has insisted he never had sex with a minor. And a Justice Department investigation into the allegations ended without any criminal charges filed against him. “Giving funds to someone you are dating — that they didn’t ask for — and that isn’t ‘charged’ for sex is now prostitution?!?” Gaetz wrote in one post on Monday. “There is a reason they did this to me in a Christmas Eve-Eve report and not in a courtroom of any kind where I could present evidence and challenge witnesses.” Here’s a look at some of the committee’s key findings: The committee found that between 2017 and 2020, Gaetz paid tens of thousands of dollars to women “likely in connection with sexual activity and/or drug use.” He paid the women using through online services such as PayPal, Venmo, and CashApp and with cash or check, the committee said. The committee said it found evidence that Gaetz understood the “transactional nature” of his relationships with the women. The report points to one text exchange in which Gaetz balked at a woman’s request that he send her money, “claiming she only gave him a ‘drive by.’” Women interviewed by the committee said there was a “general expectation of sex,” the report said. One woman who received more than $5,000 from Gaetz between 2018 and 2019 said that “99 percent of the time” that when she hung out with Gaetz “there was sex involved.” However, Gaetz was in a long-term relationship with one of the women he paid, so “some of the payments may have been of a legitimate nature,” the committee said. Text messages obtained by the committee also show that Gaetz would ask the women to bring drugs to their “rendezvous,” the report said. While most of his encounters with the women were in Florida, the committee said Gaetz also traveled “on several occasions” with women whom he paid for sex. The report includes text message exchanges in which Gaetz appears to be inviting various women to events, getaways or parties, and arranging airplane travel and lodging. Gaetz associate Joel Greenberg, who pleaded guilty to sex trafficking charges in 2021, initially connected with women through an online service. In one text with a 20-year-old woman, Greenberg suggested if she has a friend, the four of them could meet up. The woman responded that she usually does “$400 per meet.” Greenberg replied: “He understands the deal,” along with a smiley face emoji. Greenberg asks if they are old enough to drink alcohol, and sent the woman a picture of Gaetz. The woman responded that her friend found him “really cute.” “Well, he’s down here for only for the day, we work hard and play hard,” Greenberg replied. The report details a party in July 2017 in which Gaetz is accused of having sex with “multiple women, including the 17-year-old, for which they were paid.” The committee pointed to “credible testimony” from the now-woman herself as well as “multiple individuals” who corroborated the allegation. The then-17-year-old — who had just completed her junior year in high school — told the committee that Gaetz paid her $400 in cash that night, “which she understood to be payment for sex,” according to the report. The woman acknowledged that she had taken ecstasy the night of the party, but told the committee that she was “certain” of her sexual encounters with the then-congressman. There’s no evidence that Gaetz knew she was a minor when he had sex with her, the committee said. The woman told the committee she didn’t tell Gaetz she was under 18 at the time and that he didn’t how old she was. Rather, the committee said Gaetz learned she was a minor more than a month after the party. But he stayed in touch with her after that and met up with her for “commercial sex” again less than six months after she turned 18, according to the committee. In sum, the committee said it authorized 29 subpoenas for documents and testimony, reviewed nearly 14,000 documents and contacted more than two dozen witnesses. But when the committee subpoenaed Gaetz for his testimony, he failed to comply. “Gaetz pointed to evidence that would ‘exonerate’ him yet failed to produce any such materials,” the committee said. Gaetz “continuously sought to deflect, deter, or mislead the Committee in order to prevent his actions from being exposed.” The report details a months-long process that dragged into a year as it sought information from Gaetz that he decried as “nosey” and a “weaponization” of government against him. In one notable exchange, investigators were seeking information about the expenses for a 2018 get-away with multiple women to the Bahamas. Gaetz ultimately offered up his plane ticket receipt “to” the destination, but declined to share his return “from” the Bahamas. The report said his return on a private plane and other expenses paid by an associate were in violation of House gift rules. In another Gaetz told the committee he would “welcome” the opportunity to respond to written questions. Yet, after it sent a list of 16 questions, Gaetz said publicly he would “no longer” voluntarily cooperate. He called the investigation “frivolous,” adding: “Every investigation into me ends the same way: my exoneration.” The report said that while Gaetz’s obstruction of the investigation does not rise to a criminal violation it is inconsistent with the requirement that all members of Congress “act in a manner that reflects creditably upon the House.” The committee began its review of Gaetz in April 2021 and deferred its work in response to a Justice Department request. It renewed its work shortly after Gaetz announced that the Justice Department had ended a sex trafficking investigation without filing any charges against him. The committee sought records from the Justice Department about the probe, but the agency refused, saying it doesn’t disclose information about investigations that don’t result in charges. The committee then subpoenaed the Justice Department, but after a back-and-forth between officials and the committee, the department handed over “publicly reported information about the testimony of a deceased individual,” according to the report. “To date, DOJ has provided no meaningful evidence or information to the Committee or cited any lawful basis for its responses,” the committee said. Many of the women who the committee spoke to had already given statements to the Justice Department and didn’t want to “relive their experience,” the committee said. “They were particularly concerned with providing additional testimony about a sitting congressman in light of DOJ’s lack of action on their prior testimony,” the report said. The Justice Department, however, never handed over the women’s statements. The agency’s lack of cooperation — along with its request that the committee pause its investigation — significantly delayed the committee’s probe, lawmakers said.nike sports bra 。

Tens of thousands of Spaniards protest housing crunch and high rents in Barcelona BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Tens of thousands of Spaniards are marching in downtown Barcelona to protest the skyrocketing cost of renting an apartment in the popular tourist destination. Protesters cut off traffic on main avenues in the city center, holding up homemade signs in Spanish reading “Fewer apartments for investing and more homes for living." The lack of affordable housing has become one of the leading concerns for the southern European Union country, mirroring the housing crunch across many parts of the world, including the United States. The average rent for Spain has doubled in the last decade. In cities like Barcelona, rental prices have also been driven up by short-term renters including tourists.

Amazon has these HotPal palm-sized rechargeable hand warmers on sale for up to 46% offDecember 23, 2024 This article has been reviewed according to Science X's editorial process and policies . Editors have highlightedthe following attributes while ensuring the content's credibility: fact-checked proofread by Johnnie Musenze, SciDev.Net For Ojok Okello, a Ugandan shea nut farmer, turning his harvest into a marketable product was a lengthy and labor-intensive process. It would take at least 10 hours, with several workers helping him, to process 1 kilogram of shea butter, a fatty substance derived from the nuts of the shea tree and used in cosmetics and cooking. The production process traditionally includes boiling, sun drying, and grinding the shea kernels to separate the butter from solids. "We used charcoal or firewood, which is not eco-friendly," said Okello, who lives in Okere City, an ecovillage in northern Uganda where naturally-growing shea trees are at the heart of sustainable development efforts. "We then pay a minimum of Sh6000 [US$1.6] per kilogram at the milling site, which is a lot of money. This leads to losses." But a new technology developed by Ugandan researchers, which separates different elements of the fatty substance, is helping shrink the long hours spent producing shea butter, allowing Okello and his co-workers to create high-quality products efficiently. "Our butter had a strong natural smell that scared away customers who weren't familiar with it," Okello explained. He said he was grateful for the technology as it had improved the quality of the product, potentially opening the door to international markets. Lucrative business The innovation, spearheaded by Francis Omujal, senior researcher at Uganda's Natural Chemotherapeutics Research Institute, and his team, aims to refine shea butter production into a more sustainable and lucrative business. The process, known as fractionation, separates fats into liquid and solid components, enabling producers to make products such as cooking oil, butter, mosquito repellents, hair oils, and cosmetics. The machine, powered by gas or electricity, first heats the shea butter to melt it, then cools it slowly so it can separate the different components at melting point. According to the 2024 Uganda Shea Market Study, traditional processing methods are inefficient, affecting the quantity and quality of shea products and limiting potential trade. It says Uganda's share of the global shea trade stands at less than 1%. Poor export infrastructure and market access issues also hinder efficient distribution, the study says. Omujal believes fractionation could increase output by 300% and save 40% of the energy used in traditional methods. "This technology has no wastage," he said. "The solid becomes butter and the liquids are turned into oils. These products are of good quality and can be consumed anywhere around the world." Export potential According to a 2022 survey conducted by the Uganda Women Entrepreneurs Association Limited (UWEAL), shea butter production provides income for thousands of rural women in northern Uganda and South Sudan, who control 70% of the shea trade. But the women still process shea butter using traditional methods which result in low yields and poor butter quality. UWEAL chairperson Sarah Kitakule says the fractionation technology could improve production, packaging, branding, and export standards. "This technology will not only be useful for Uganda's shea butter industry, but the entire East Africa," said Kitakule. According to Omujal, the fractionation process means the shea butter can be used for a greater variety of products, which can be sold in both local and international markets. "Traditionally, shea butter production in Uganda focused mainly on domestic use as an edible oil," he explained. "This technology will add value so that we can get multiple products and increase local and international markets. "We believe this dream will empower our shea butter communities." Finance needed However, with a cost of US$10,000, the technology is out of reach for many farmers and finance is needed to scale up the initiative, to support more producers. John Walugembe, executive director of Uganda's Federation of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises, believes the technology could significantly improve livelihoods in northern Uganda. He says improving access to both the machines and electricity would help shea butter producers maximize the benefits of the new technology. "We can ask government to make sure these machines are taken to shea butter communities," he said. "We ask government to extend electricity to these communities because we have seen these machines are eco-friendly and they use power, yet we know most of the shea butter communities do not have electricity."

When meeting with the Mexican ambassador to Spain, Quirino Ordaz Coppel, at a dinner in the city of Madrid, he stressed that his administration maintains a total openness to attract investments that strengthen the tourist infrastructure and consolidate the state as a benchmark in the international market. “We want more European tourists to look at Yucatán, to discover the cultural, historical, and natural wealth that we have, and for their stay to be longer. This will increase the economic impact on tourist services such as hotels, restaurants, and recreational activities, directly benefiting Yucatecan families,” said the Governor. During his working visit to Europe, Díaz Mena stressed that the main objective is to increase the number of overnight stays of international visitors, ensuring that tourists do not only make one-day visits but also stay one or two nights in the state, generating a greater economic impact for the region. He also stressed the importance of taking advantage of existing air connections to turn Yucatán into a multi-destination entity that combines culture, gastronomy, traditions, Mayan essence, archaeology, sun, and beach, adapting to the interests of European tourists. The Governor emphasized that this strategy does not only seek economic benefits. The arrival of European visitors has enriched the multicultural environment of the state, strengthening the ties between Yucatán and European countries, and promoting a cultural exchange that contributes to the social and cultural life of the region. “International tourism is not only a source of income, but also an opportunity to understand and connect with other cultures, which enriches both visitors and our community,” he said. In addition, Díaz Mena highlighted the potential of Yucatán as a world-class tourist destination, thanks to its promotional efforts in key markets such as Spain.Stock market today: S&P 500, Dow notch fresh records as Wall Street shrugs off Trump's tariff threat

Non-GAAP Financial Measures The company has provided in this release non-GAAP financial information, including non-GAAP gross margin, net income (loss), and earnings (losses) per share, as a supplement to the condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing the company’s financial results to assess operational performance and liquidity. The company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. Further, the company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics that the company uses in making operating decisions and because the company believes that investors and analysts use them to help assess the health of its business and for comparison to other companies. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding the company’s operating results. The non-GAAP information should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. With respect to its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, the company has provided below reconciliations of its non-GAAP financial measures to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. With respect to the company’s expectations for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, a reconciliation of non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating expenses guidance to the closest corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures. We expect the variability of the above charges to have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP financial results. The following tables present details of stock-based compensation, acquisition-related costs and restructuring expense included in each functional line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations above: The difference between GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin was 2.0% and 3.3%, or $1.7 million and $1.7 million, for the three months ended October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, respectively. The difference between GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin was 2.3% and 2.9%, or $4.6 million and $5.0 million, for the nine months ended October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, respectively. The differences were due to the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related costs and restructuring expense. Contact: Louis Gerhardy 408.636.2310 lgerhardy@ambarella.com

No one wants to see any player take a vicious hit like the one that knocked Trevor Lawrence out of the game. It’s easy to agree on that point. Eliminating violent shots is the hard part. The NFL has instituted several rules to protect quarterbacks but football is a physical sport and players have to react instantly and make split-second decisions going at high speeds so injuries keep occurring. Lawrence was carted off the field in the first half of Jacksonville’s 23-20 loss to Houston on Sunday after Azeez Al-Shaair leveled the defenseless quarterback with a forearm to the facemask. The late hit put Lawrence in the fencing position — both fists clenched — and he stayed on the ground for several minutes, while a brawl ensued. Lawrence didn’t require hospitalization for his concussion but it’s unknown when he’ll return. “Thank you to everyone who has reached out/been praying for me,” Lawrence wrote on X. “I’m home and feeling better. Means a lot, thank you all.” Al-Shaair was ejected from the game and faces a fine and potential suspension after his latest unsportsmanlike penalty. The Texans' linebacker was flagged and later fined $11,255 for a late hit out of bounds on Titans running back Tony Pollard last week. He was fined earlier this year after he punched Bears running back Roschon Johnson on the sideline in Week 2. That occurred during a scuffle that started after his hard shot on quarterback Caleb Williams near the sideline that wasn’t flagged. Al-Shaair once got away with grabbing Tom Brady by the throat on a pass rush in a game between the 49ers and Buccaneers. Outraged Jaguars players called Al-Shaair’s hit “dirty” and Texans coach DeMeco Ryans made it known he didn’t condone it. “It’s not what we’re coaching,” Ryans said. “Want to be smart in everything we do and not hurt the team, get a penalty there. Have to be smarter when the quarterback is going down. Unfortunate play. Not representative of who Azeez is. He’s a smart player, really great leader for us. We felt his presence not being there. His loss really affected us on the defensive side. Just not what we’re coaching. Didn’t want to see the melee and all the aftermath. That’s not what we’re about. Not representative of us. I’ll talk to Azeez, address him personally, and we’ll move forward from it.” Fox Sports color analyst Daryl Johnston, a former fullback for the Dallas Cowboys, didn’t hold back his criticism, calling it a “cheap shot.” “It’s everything you’re not supposed to do,” Johnston said. “Everything. You’ll see this in slow motion and Azeez Al-Shaair does everything you’re trying to prevent in this situation. It’s reckless. It’s disrespectful. There’s an honor that you give to your opponent on the football field and you respect him. And there’s opportunities to be physical and give big hits and play this game in that manner. And there’s other times when there’s a respect that you grant to your opponent.” Some former NFL quarterbacks blasted Al-Shaair on social media. “There is no place in the game of football for dirty hits like this one,” Robert Griffin III wrote on X. Chase Daniel called it “one of the dirtiest hits” he’s ever seen on a quarterback. Even defensive players struggled to defend Al-Shaair. “That was uncalled for,” Hall of Fame defensive lineman Michael Strahan said on Fox’s studio show while fellow Hall of Famer Howie Long agreed. But the play also sparked debate about the quarterback slide. Lawrence slid feet first, which signals that he’s giving himself up on the play. The NFL rulebook states: “A defender must pull up when a runner begins a feet-first slide.” But defensive players aren’t automatically penalized if they make contact with a sliding quarterback if they already committed and the contact is unavoidable. The rules state it’s a foul when “the defender makes forcible contact into the head or neck area of the runner with the helmet, shoulder, or forearm, or commits some other act that is unnecessary roughness.” Al-Shaair did that so he was penalized and will face other repercussions. Still, given the hard-hitting nature of the sport, it won’t be the last time this happens.

The YouTube algorithm keeps threatening me with videos about how the new Dragon Age is a crime against Gamers. I haven't watched any of them, but my recommendations still overflow. Even people with less overheated opinions have been down on its relatively chill vibes and easygoing nature. Just quietly, I've enjoyed most of my time with it. Not all of it, of course. Like too many BioWare RPGs, Veilguard frontloads its least interesting companions. This time the Carth Onasi you have to suffer before you're allowed to hang out with the cool kids is Neve, a detective whose schtick is being Sherlock Holmes without the deductive grandstanding, drug addiction, or ability to put emphasis on words. She seems way less fun at parties. It didn't take long before I met more memorable companions, though—a Grey Warden slash full-time griffin dad, a surly qunari hyperfocused on dragons, and a necromancer who acts like Vincent Price hosting The Muppet Show. The locations open up too, loads more than I was expecting them too. BioWare had promised a more mission-focused structure to contrast with the open sprawl of Inquisition, and while there are no Hinterlands here I was surprised at how many times I returned to an early Veilguard zone, Arlathan Forest, and found it stuffed with newly accessible loot, puzzles, and sidequests. Of the later locations, the Hossberg Wetlands was a highlight—as upsettingly moist as the name suggests, recalling the mud and blood of Ferelden. Where Inquisition sent you to Orlais to see a part of Thedas that wasn't defined by filth and the constant sound of barking dogs, Veilguard takes place even further afield in the northern half of the world. There are no alienages here. Sure, the main entertainment in Docktown is public hanging and the Venatori use slaves as chairs, but the edgelord dial has been turned way down since Origins. Michael Moorcock wrote an essay once comparing high fantasy stories like The Lord of the Rings to Winnie-the-Pooh, saying both were basically lullabies for children "meant to soothe and console." That's because Moorcock, like George R. R. Martin, thought unrelenting grim-and-grittiness means realism, and that there was virtue in fantasy being realistic. Veilguard does not, and is better for it. Instead, it freely fluctuates between sentimental coffeeshop fanfic and Blight-tentacle horror as each scene dictates. The biggest gaming news, reviews and hardware deals Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team. The former is concentrated in the de rigueur loyalty quests. You help the necromancer come to terms with his mortality, and the assassin with his demonic possession and thirst for revenge, because despite all the setting's modernisms they haven't invented therapy in Thedas. Yet the reason you get all kumbaya with your Veilguard companions is so they'll be ready to risk their lives in a final suicide mission even more brutal than the one in Mass Effect 2. I loved the ending of Mass Effect 2 and was baffled BioWare didn't repeat the trick in subsequent games. That format—where you face a challenge so tough you have to take the whole squad you've assembled over the course of the game and delegate tasks to match their skillsets—makes an ideal climax for an RPG. Did you pay attention to the way every war story Zaeed tells in Mass Effect 2 ends with a bunch of people he fought beside dying? I sure didn't! So when I cheerfully assigned him to command my second fireteam because he's an experienced veteran, one of my squadmates died. BioWare finally realized that kind of high-pressure friendship exam makes for a more memorable climax than a choice between color-coded endings, so that's exactly what Veilguard builds to. The opening may be rough, with some on-the-nose dialogue and choppy pacing, but if like me you've been waiting for BioWare to do an encore where they play Suicide Mission (Reprise) since 2010, they heard us stamping at last. The YouTube algorithm may not know what I like, but BioWare finally figured it out.Tony Osburn scores 23 points to lead Omaha past Lamar 65-59 in Akron Basketball ClassicDior Conners hits game-winning 3 with a second left as Appalachian State tops William & Mary, 79-76
