"We are ready for this challenge," said a determined Salzburg defender. "We know what we have to do, and we will give everything we have on the pitch. We believe in ourselves and in our team, and we will fight until the final whistle. Paris may be a strong opponent, but we are not afraid. We will be brave, we will be strong in defense, and we will give it our all."
Patrick Mahomes was pumped up when the NFL schedule was released and he saw his Kansas City Chiefs were playing on Christmas Day for the second straight season. His excitement lasted for only a short time. "Until I realized it was on Wednesday," Mahomes said Monday. Plenty of sore bodies will take the field Wednesday when the Chiefs (14-1) visit the Pittsburgh Steelers (10-5) in what will be the third game in 11 days for both teams. Both squads just played on Saturday. The Chiefs posted a 27-19 home win over the Houston Texans and the Steelers fell 34-17 to the host Baltimore Ravens. "You're not going to feel great," Mahomes said of the short week. "That's kind of just what it is. You don't make excuses in this league. You go out and play football, and you fight until the very end, and you try to get a win at the end of the day. "You're motivated to play a great football team, to play in Pittsburgh in a great environment, a great stadium. It'll be rocking playing on Christmas, so everybody's going to be watching." If Kansas City wins Wednesday, it clinches the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. The Chiefs have 14 victories for the third time in the past five seasons. The franchise has never won 15 games in a season. Kansas City hasn't committed a single turnover during its five-game winning streak. Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson isn't fond of hearing "turnover" after he made two big mistakes in Saturday's loss to the Ravens. Wilson lost a fumble after a 19-yard gain to the Baltimore 4-yard line in the second quarter and later was intercepted by Marlon Humphrey, who returned it 37 yards for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter. Wilson called it "unacceptable" and now has his focus on making amends against Kansas City. "I don't think there's enough time to really sulk or worry or fear," Wilson said. " ... The one thing I'm not going to do is keep my head down, though. I know for us we got so much great confidence in who we are and what we can do and how we're going to respond. "We can't let a tough game like this take us into a negative state of mind because there's a lot more to play for and a lot more we're searching for, and we can still win the (AFC) North." Wilson is correct. If the Steelers win their final two regular-season games, they will win their division. They would have clinched it last weekend if they had won in Baltimore. Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin is hardly concerned about Wilson's miscues. It was the veteran signal-caller's first time committing multiple turnovers in nine games with the team. "He's tough on himself because he's got a desire to be great," Tomlin said. "He wants to lead us to victory. He owns that. I don't expect that to be an issue in terms of his readiness or trajectory of this week." Cornerback Joey Porter Jr. (knee) and receiver Ben Skowronek (hip) missed Pittsburgh's walkthrough on Monday. Standout receiver George Pickens (hamstring) was a full participant and may return after missing the past three games. Safety DeShon Elliott (hamstring), cornerback Donte Jackson (back) and defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi (groin) also could return to action. Jackson's return would be big if Porter can't play. Kansas City also held a walkthrough on Monday. Left tackle D.J. Humphries (hamstring), safety Chamarri Conner (concussion) and star defensive end Chris Jones (calf) missed the session. Jones was injured against Houston. Meanwhile, Mahomes said his sore ankle is feeling better than it did last week. The Chiefs lost 20-14 to the visiting Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Day last season. Kansas City has won the past three meetings with the Steelers, including a 42-21 rout in an AFC wild-card game on Jan. 16, 2022.

Despite its massive move since late 2022, Nvidia doesn't have a high valuation on a forward price-earnings basis, thanks to still-huge growth. So perhaps the AI leader is ready for another run.

But if you're already heavily or fully invested, you don't have to jump on every stock flashing green.

Judge Lewis J. Liman in Manhattan issued an order Friday in which he was dismissive of what he described as attempts by Giuliani and his lawyer to dodge providing information to the election workers’ lawyers. And he said the litigants should be ready at the contempt hearing to explain why he should not grant a request by lawyers for the two election workers that he make adverse inferences from evidence in the case that would put Giuliani’s Palm Beach, Florida, condominium in danger of being surrendered to satisfy the defamation award. The judge also said he may rule on the contempt request at the hearing. Giuliani has maintained that the Palm Beach property is his personal residence now and should be shielded from the judgment. He faces a Jan. 16 trial before Liman over the disposition of his Florida residence and World Series rings. Lawyers for the election workers filed the contempt request after saying Giuliani had failed to turn over a lease to his Manhattan apartment, a Mercedes, various watches and jewelry, a signed Joe DiMaggio shirt and other baseball momentos. The judge ordered Giuliani to turn over the items in October. Giuliani’s lawyers have predicted that Giuliani will eventually win custody of the items on appeal. A request for comment was sent to a lawyer for Giuliani, who was supposed to be deposed on Friday. The contempt hearing follows a contentious November hearing in which Giuliani, a former federal prosecutor, became angry at the judge and said Liman was treating him unfairly. Giuliani was found liable last year for defaming the two Georgia poll workers by falsely accusing them of tampering with ballots during the 2020 presidential election. The women said they faced death threats after Giuliani falsely claimed they sneaked in ballots in suitcases, counted ballots multiple times and tampered with voting machines.
AUSTIN, Texas — For the second time this month, Bevo will have to watch the Texas Longhorns on a screen instead of in Atlanta. On Monday, officials with the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl said Bevo will not be allowed on the sidelines, once again citing space concerns. Bevo was barred from the SEC Championship game against Georgia for the same reason, despite the history between Bevo and the University of Georgia's mascot, Uga. Peach Bowl officials said the 1.9 million-square-foot Mercedes Benz Stadium doesn't have enough sideline space to make sure Bevo, the players and everyone else on the field are safe. "We love all of the great traditions of college football and no doubt, Bevo is one of the best," bowl officials said in a statement. "The unfortunate reality is there simply is not enough room on the sidelines ... We unfortunately will not be able to have Bevo on the field." Reaction pours in after the Benz bans Bevo Outgoing Austin City Council Member Mackenzie Kelly immediately reacted to the news, asking the Peach Bowl to " stop messing with tradition " and to let Bevo "BE LEGENDARY." Others also poked fun at the vast on-field terraces offered by the stadium, akin to the size of someone's backyard, as the perfect place to put Bevo. Some people even floated conspiracy theories on social media that Bevo is still being punished for nearly spearing Uga X in January 2019 ahead of the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. Regardless of Bevo's status for the New Year's Day game against Arizona State University, the game has already been sold out. Currently, tickets on resellers start at around $59.

After the annexation, the property owner discovered that they were allowed to use a septic system and reverted back to septic.Alarming satellite image shows China's $9bn secret warship doing military tests in Pacific amid WWIII fears READ MORE: China carries out 'total Taiwan blockade' drills By NIKKI MAIN SCIENCE REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 15:48 EST, 22 November 2024 | Updated: 16:06 EST, 22 November 2024 e-mail 48 View comments China 's secretive $9 billion warship has been spotted in Pacific ocean from space amid fears of WWIII. The CNS Liaoning, which is the nation's first operational aircraft carrier , was captured by NASA 's Landsat 8 satellite as it was docked in the Bohai Sea and conducted sea trials. The satellite images showed the Liaoning warship docked among other aircraft carriers at a shipyard, while a separate image showed moving out to sea. US Navy officials have been monitoring the warship, finding its deck measures about 656 feet long and 131 feet wide, making it smaller than other Chinese carriers. The images were taken days after US President Biden allowed Ukraine to use American missiles to strike China's ally Russia , which has led to fears that a worldwide war is on the horizon. China has become Russia's largest trading partner following Western sanctions and now enjoys huge discounts on energy exports while supplying essential technology and consumer goods . And in September, reports surfaced that the two nations were ramping up joint military drills. The US Landsat 8 satellite captured images of the Chinese navy's newest warship (pictured) that was recently deployed in the Bohai Sea The ship, pictured here, weighs about 60,000 tons and is part of China's smaller naval aircraft carriers The Chinese military has more than 370 warships and submarines in its fleet, making it the largest naval force created worldwide, and has worked to rapidly increase its fleet while keeping up with US carrier technology. CNS Liaoning was operating near Japan last year, strapped with guided-missile cruisers and a guided-missile destroyer, when it conducted flight operations with about 20 launches and recoveries of fighters . Reports also claimed there were around 40 take-offs and landings of helicopters from the carrier. More recently, from September 20 to October 1, the CNS Liaoning performed flight operations with carrier-based fighter jets and helicopters in the waters east of the Philippines and west of Guam. Images surfaced of China's Fujian ship (pictured), which is the largest in its naval arsenal, leaving its pier in the South China Sea on Monday It is unclear what trials were be conducted this week. The People's Liberation Army Navy also deployed its CNS Shandong aircraft carrier last week, which sailed into the South China Sea about 397 miles south of Miyako Island, according to the US Naval Institute . The vessel was monitored using satellite imagery and was reported to have conducted 10 launches and 10 helicopter take-offs and landings. The US has deployed its own fleet of warships to the northwest coast of Luzon to watch China's ongoing operations and reported that the Liberation Army could be readying itself to attack Japan .

The Chinese government has also claimed that Taiwan is its own territory, although the country has not outright stated that it plans to invade Japan . Earlier this month, Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it is grateful that the US is deploying ships to the region as reports of China's warships increase. The press release stated: 'As the security environment in the region becomes increasingly severe, maintaining a robust presence of the U.S. Navy through the forward-deployment of USS George Washington and the Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5 is essential to the security of Japan and the maintenance of regional peace and stability.'

Why aren’t mobile homes considered among affordable housing fixes?Donald Trump hinted he still wants to buy Greenland, a self-ruling territory of Denmark, saying that U.S. ownership and control of the island is an “absolute necessity” for national security. The U.S. President-elect reopened a debate from 2019, when he offered to buy what is the world’s biggest island, a proposal that was quickly rebuffed by Denmark at the time. “For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World,” Trump said on Truth Social Sunday, “the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.” Greenland is already crucial to American national defense, being home to a U.S. air base and a radar station. The war in Ukraine has dramatically increased the territory’s military value to the U.S. and NATO, given the island’s strategic location between the Arctic and the North Atlantic. Trump made the statement on Sunday as he nominated PayPal co-founder Ken Howery for U.S. ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark. Howery responded on X saying he would work to “deepen the bonds” between the U.S., Denmark and Greenland. Howery was an ambassador to Sweden from 2019 to 2021, under Trump’s first administration. Commenting on Trump’s post, Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute Bourup Egede said by email that the island is “not for sale and will never be for sale.” However, he said Greenland must continue to be open to cooperation and trade directly with other countries, especially its neighbors. The autonomous authority published a blueprint for its foreign, security and defense policy earlier this year, in which it outlined hopes to forge closer links with North America through trade in critical minerals and by having a bigger say in key defense relationships that have historically been governed by Denmark. Trump’s proposal to buy Greenland in 2019 triggered tensions between the U.S. and Denmark, with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen describing it as “absurd,” making it clear Greenland was not for sale. — Bloomberg NewsIn the world of football, every match presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities, and the ability to adapt and innovate is crucial for success.
