'Uncommitted' and ' Abandon Harris ' movement leaders consider Trump's win and initial actions. Hundreds of thousands of "uncommitted" Democratic primary voters nationwide, many of whom cast ballots in protest of President Joe Biden and his administration's handling of Israel's war in Gaza, gave Vice President Kamala Harris just 107 days as a presidential candidate to win over these voters, as quoted in a report by NBC News. ET Year-end Special Reads Two sectors that rose on India's business horizon in 2024 2025 outlook: Is it time for cautious optimism or rekindling animal spirits? 2024: Govt moves ahead with simultaneous polls plan; India holds largest democratic exercise But according to leaders of the "Abandon Harris" campaign and the Uncommitted National Movement, Harris didn't go far enough in separating herself from Biden or outlining her alternative approach to the war. Voter Shift and Trump’s Community Engagement In order to predict what will happen next, they are now closely observing President-elect Donald Trump 's initial actions in the Middle East, particularly with regard to Gaza. The Palestinian American activist Layla Elabed, the sister of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich, and co-founder of the Uncommitted National Movement, said that there are numerous ways in which Harris chose the path of Liz Cheney and the donor class on a variety of issues, abandoning working families in places like Dearborn, who make up the people Democrats claim to be fighting for. At the same time, Trump entered the scene and used false promises and lies to feed a community that was in mourning and hopelessness.

However, in a sharply divided field, the majority of Dearborn voters also cast ballots against Trump, who received roughly 43% of the vote. This year, Elabed chose to focus on races further down the ballot rather than voting at the top of the ticket. ALSO READ Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton failed but will US ever elect a female President? Frustration Among Grassroots Movements and Activists Bryarr Misner, a former campaign manager for the Abandon Harris campaign in Pittsburgh, expressed frustration about the lack of access to members of Harris' team and the demeaning treatment they faced. He believed the campaign's purpose was to punish Democrats for supporting Israel during its war in Gaza, which they view as genocide. Misner hopes that the Trump campaign will be more willing to negotiate with group leaders, as Israel's government and the U.S. government have rejected accusations of genocide. Palestinian American policy analyst Abdelhalim Abdelrahman also noted similar feelings of inaccessibility and unresponsiveness in Michigan. He said that grassroots movements like the Uncommitted movement demanded an immediate arms embargo from Kamala Harris but were rebuffed and treated as criminals. Abdelrahman said Harris never proactively presented policy positions about ending the war or advocating for Palestinians to satisfy a critical part of her constituency, and her overall strategy often seemed reactionary to Trump. Farah Khan, co-chair of the Abandon Harris campaign in Michigan, viewed voting against Harris as a moral issue as the war continues to unfold. She believes that Harris did not do enough to reverse course in terms of messaging or policy from the Biden administration 's handling of the war. FAQs Why has Kamala Harris lost support among some Democratic voters? Harris received criticism for her perceived inaction on the Middle East conflict and lack of engagement with Arab and Muslim communities, frustrating voters who felt ignored. What role did grassroots movements such as 'Abandon Harris' play? Groups like 'Abandon Harris' criticized Harris for not addressing their policy concerns, particularly on U.S. involvement in Gaza, and mobilized voters to protest by supporting Trump or other candidates.

Saturday, November 30, 2024 The luxury travel sector had a valuation of $638.2 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $1,650.5 billion by 2031, reflecting a steady annual growth rate of 8.9% between 2022 and 2031. The global luxury travel market has seen rapid expansion in recent years, driven by an increasing demand for distinctive and exotic travel destinations. Although luxury travel remains a niche sector, its market share within the broader travel industry is steadily growing. This growth is attributed to rising disposable incomes and improving living standards, as well as the increasing number of high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) in emerging markets, which further boosts demand for luxury travel experiences. A key factor in the rise of the luxury travel market is the adoption of cutting-edge technologies by luxury travel providers. These innovations are enhancing the status of luxury travel and offering guests top-tier facilities. Notable technological advancements, such as Oculus Rift virtual reality, Amazon Echo-powered artificial intelligence, GoPro wearable tech, and DaVinci 3D printing, have been introduced to enrich travelers’ experiences. The expanding HNI population and the aspirations of wealthy millennials are major drivers of growth in the luxury travel market, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. Baby boomers and Generation X remain significant contributors to the market in this region. The growing desire to explore unfamiliar places and enjoy one-of-a-kind experiences has led companies to offer tours that connect travelers with the local culture, providing opportunities to uncover hidden gems and engage with local communities. However, shifting socio-economic conditions pose potential challenges to the market’s expansion. In response, travel providers are launching personalized itineraries and custom travel plans that cater to evolving traveler needs. Renowned companies like Abercrombie & Kent Ltd. and Cox & Kings Ltd. employ expert teams who assist travelers in selecting the best trips based on their interests and preferences. The global luxury travel market is segmented by tour type, age group, traveler type, and region. By tour type, the market is divided into customized and private vacations, adventure and safari, cruise expeditions, small group journeys, celebrations and special events, and culinary travel and shopping. By age group, it is categorized into millennials, Generation X, baby boomers, and silver-haired travelers. In terms of traveler type, the market is split into absolute luxury, aspiring luxury, and accessible luxury. Regionally, the market spans North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and the rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Singapore, India, and the rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Middle East, Latin America, and Africa). Among the different tour types, the celebration and special events segment holds around 6.5% of the global luxury travel market share. This segment is anticipated to experience significant growth, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5% during the forecast period. This surge is driven by growing interest in celebrating significant milestones, such as family reunions, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and large public events like New Year’s. Luxury travel companies now offer private tours to exclusive destinations for special occasions, making destination-based celebration travel a prominent trend in the luxury travel market. More people are seeking to commemorate important moments or share new experiences, contributing to the rising popularity of celebration and special event travel. In 2021, the Generation X segment of luxury travelers, defined as those aged 35-50, was valued at approximately $213.3 billion, with projections indicating growth to $550.3 billion by 2031, driven by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. Known for having higher disposable income, this age group spends around $627 per day on vacation, which is 20% more than Millennials. Family life significantly influences their travel choices, with leisure trips often planned around family activities. The Generation X group can be divided into two categories: those who are recently single and those approaching a major wedding anniversary. The recently single segment is more inclined toward adventure rather than socializing or partying, favoring destinations like Chile, Mexico, Canada, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand. On the other hand, married Generation X individuals with children tend to select destinations that cater to their family needs, as well as places they’ve never visited before, prioritizing safety during travel. These factors are expected to drive significant growth in the luxury travel market for this demographic over the forecast period. In the luxury travel market, the Accessible Luxury segment is anticipated to reach $207.3 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8.9%. Accessible luxury travel offers high-end experiences to a broader consumer base. This segment has been expanding rapidly, influenced by peer pressure and advancements in technology, which have broadened consumers’ understanding of luxury services and their associated costs. Accessible luxury travelers tend to favor shorter holidays, often selecting destinations closer to home due to financial constraints. These travelers are also more likely to explore off-the-beaten-path destinations, avoiding city centers in favor of lesser-known neighborhoods that provide an authentic experience. Regionally, the Asia-Pacific market is poised to be the fastest-growing luxury travel sector, with a CAGR of 11.1% during the forecast period. The Latin America, Middle East, and Africa (LAMEA) region is expected to follow as the second-fastest growing market, driven by the region’s emerging economies. The expansion of luxury travel in these regions is projected to significantly contribute to the global market’s growth. Key players in the luxury travel industry are focusing on product launches and business expansions to increase market share, enhance profitability, and stay competitive. Prominent companies in the sector include Abercrombie & Kent USA, LLC, Cox & Kings Ltd, Travcoa, Micato Safaris, Ker & Downey, Tauck, Thomas Cook Group PLC, Scott Dunn Ltd., Kensington Tours, Butterfield & Robinson Inc., TUI Group, Zicasso, Inc., Black Tomato, Backroads, Lindblad Expeditions, and Exodus Travels. The global luxury travel industry was valued at $638.21 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow to $1.65 trillion by 2031, experiencing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9% over the forecast period. Among various travel types, the cruise and ship expedition sector is expected to see the highest growth rate, with a CAGR of 10.9% during the forecast period. In 2021, the “silver hair” demographic segment was valued at $89.11 billion, accounting for 14.0% of the global luxury travel market share. The “aspiring luxury” traveler category was valued at $202.14 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 8.7%. Italy emerged as the leading luxury travel market in Europe in 2021, projected to reach $176.44 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period.( MENAFN - IANS) New Delhi, Nov 30 (IANS) To maximise mutual understanding of drills and procedures, the Indian army and Singapore armed forces on Saturday completed the three-day 13th edition of Joint Military Exercise AGNI WARRIOR (XAW-2024) in Maharashtra.

ESPN's "College GameDay" has become a staple during each college football season. Lee Corso has become a cornerstone of the program since the show began in 1987. However, with Corso nearing the age of 90, his future with "College GameDay" is up in the air. Corso has missed a few weeks of the show due to health issues, so his time on the set could be coming to an end. Recently, ESPN President Burke Magnus discussed Corso's future : “I think we’re going to do what we’ve done now for a couple of years running, which is we’re gonna have a conversation with him after the season and see where things are,” Magnus said. Andrew Wevers-Imagn Images Magnus said they will take time to "figure out" what everyone wants to do after the season ends. Nonetheless, the future of Corso on "College GameDay" is a big question mark, and college football fans have mixed feelings about it. "As far as I’m concerned, Corso and @DickieV should stay at ESPN as long as they want to. They have done so much for college sports and deserve to leave on their terms. They are both legends!" one fan said . "As long as he’s breathing air, I want him on set," said another . "Coach is doing just fine," said another . On the other hand, some fans want Corso to retire for his good. "Lee Corso is an icon on College GameDay but it is time for him to retire. I think it would be wonderful to have the first show of next season, the light on content Week 0 show, be a celebration of and farewell for him. It gives the fan base a chance to properly say thank you," one fan replied. "Please let him retire," wrote another. "Let the man retire. It looks so sad seeing him there and can barely move," said another fan . Corso will be 90 years old when the 2025 college football season begins, so it wouldn't be surprising to see this year be his final run on the "College GameDay" set. However, those conversations will be had after the season ends. Either way, college football fans have mixed feelings about Corso's unclear future.

A look back at 2024 in photosIn line with the NRM manifesto and President Yoweri Museveni’s ongoing nationwide campaign of wealth creation through the four-acre model, Presidency Minister Hon. Babirye Milly Babalanda has encouraged residents of Buyende district to adopt new farming methods. While addressing parents, teachers, and pupils at Nduudu Church of Uganda Primary School in Kidera sub-county, Hon Babalanda emphasized that the fight against poverty at the household and community level requires collective effort. “...I am here to encourage you to do everything using the peace and facilities put in place by the NRM government to join the money economy by embracing wealth creation strategies...” she urged every citizen to come on board, rather than leaving it to leaders alone. The minister also stressed the importance of integrated efforts in health, family sanitation, agriculture, and education as cornerstones to the growth and development of the area. She challenged faith organizations to use their platforms to support poverty alleviation initiatives. In a show of commitment, Hon Babalanda promised to construct a pit latrine for the school, addressing the sanitation challenges faced by pupils and staff. She also donated 1 million Uganda shillings to support the making of desks for over 1,300 pupils and 500,000/= towards the church project. The headteacher, James Kauta, commended Minister Babalanda for her practical gesture, which motivated the residents. Mr Kauta confessed that Babalanda was the first leader to visit and freely interact with locals. This move is particularly pivotal, as it addresses the sanitation challenges that affect studies, especially for girls who often prefer to stay home due to inadequate facilities. The enthusiastic residents of Buyende district are warmly welcoming the hardworking Minister, Hon. Milly Babirye Babalanda, and pledging their support for her and President Yoweri Museveni. The residents, represented by the Kidera LC3 chairperson Wagumaale Kiiza praised President Museveni for bringing sustainable peace to Uganda over the last four decades, allowing them to move freely and conduct business without fear of roadblocks or segregation. “...the four-acre model is a proven strategy for wealth creation, and it is already transforming lives in many parts of Uganda, so I urge you, the people of Buyende, to seize this opportunity and join the ranks of those who are already benefiting from this initiative...”, Babalanda appealed. The minister’s passionate call to the residents to come on board is part of the government’s efforts to promote economic growth and development at the grassroots level. Experts believe that by adopting the four-acre model, residents of Buyende can improve their agricultural productivity, increase their incomes, and contribute to the country’s overall economic prosperity. Hon. Babalanda also took the opportunity to encourage parents to send their children to school, emphasizing the importance of education in unlocking individual and societal potential. President Yoweri Museveni recently resumed his wealth creation campaign in the Bukedi and Teso sub-regions, and next week, he’s expected to take his campaign to the Karamoja region. This region, once plagued by violence, has seen a significant return of peace and security thanks to the joint efforts of security agencies led by the UPDF. President Museveni’s wealth creation campaign aims to empower local communities to improve their livelihoods through various initiatives, including the Parish Development Model (PDM). The PDM has already shown promising results in most areas, with individuals in Kibuku, Pallisa, Tororo, Bukeda, Soroti, Kumi, and other districts benefiting from the multi billion shillings program. The Parish Development Model (PDM) was officially launched on February 26, 2022, by President Yoweri Museveni in Kibuku district. This launch marked the beginning of the nationwide implementation of the PDM, which aims to increase household incomes and facilitate sustainable socio-economic transformation. The Parish Development Model (PDM) is a flagship anti-poverty program initiated by the NRM government, aimed at transforming the livelihoods of Ugandans and promoting sustainable development. The President’s campaign in Karamoja is expected to focus on promoting wealth creation and poverty alleviation through sustainable agricultural practices, entrepreneurship, and other initiatives. The crowd’s excitement was palpable as Minister Babalanda delivered warm greetings from President Yoweri Museveni and First Lady Janet Kataha Museveni. The First Lady, known for her philanthropic work, particularly in education and HIV/AIDS awareness, has been a prominent figure in Ugandan politics. Her greetings, conveyed through Minister Babalanda, were met with ululations, a clear indication of the crowd’s admiration and respect for Mama Janet as she is fondly referred to. Commentators are praising Minister Babalanda’s grassroots engagement approach, saying that if all ministers and leaders followed her example, the government’s mind-change efforts would be much more effective. This is especially important in Uganda, where critics, particularly the opposition politicians, often spread negative messages through local radio stations and social media platforms. By engaging directly with the community, Minister Babalanda is able to promote the government’s initiatives and address concerns in a more personal and effective way. This approach can help to build trust and credibility with the public, making it easier to achieve the government’s goals. In fact, Minister Babalanda’s efforts have already been recognized as a success story in many parts of the country. Her approach is a great example of how grassroots engagement can be a powerful tool for achieving positive change.
