In July 2022, Walton County deputies were contacted about child sexual abuse material uploaded to a Google account, according to a Dec. 23 news release by the Alcovy Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office. Deputies met with Hunter Lawless, who is accused of admitting to receiving the child abuse material from Zachary Zulock, officials said. Lawless pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of children and was sentenced, officials said. McClatchy News reached out to the Alcovy Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office on Dec. 23 to clarify his sentencing and was awaiting a response. Police performed a search warrant on the home of Zachary Jacoby Zulock and William Dale Zulock and eventually learned the two men had been sexually abusing their adopted sons, prosecutors said. The abuse began a “few years before the search warrant was executed,” officials said. “Those involved with the investigation and prosecution of this case will never forget what they had to see and hear in this case,” Randy McGinley, the Alcovy district attorney, said in the release. “These two defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their extremely dark desires above everything and everyone else. However, the depth of the defendants’ depravity, which is as deep as it gets, is not greater than the resolve of those that fought for justice and the strength of the victims in this case. The resolve I have seen from these two young victims over the last two years is truly inspiring,” While searching, officers reported finding electronic evidence showing the two men sexually abusing the boys on different occasions throughout different rooms in the home. Different cell phones also contained graphic images and videos of the abuse along with graphic text messages, officials said. The evidence led officials to Luis Vizcarro-Sanchez after they saw he had been receiving messages from one of the men about the sexual abuse of one of the victims, officials said. Vizcarro-Sanchez pleaded guilty to pandering for a person under 18 and was sentenced, the release said. McClatchy News reached out to the Alcovy Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office on Dec. 23 to clarify his sentencing and was awaiting a response. In August, William Zulock pleaded guilty to aggravated sodomy, aggravated child molestation, incest, and sexual exploitation of children, officials said. In October, Zachary Zulock pleaded guilty to aggravated sodomy, aggravated child molestation, incest, sodomy, sexual exploitation of children and pandering of a person under 18. They were sentenced to 100 years in prison followed by life on probation and will not be eligible for parole for the entire 100 years, officials said. Walton County is about a 50-mile drive east of Atlanta.

Now we're into December, the countdown to Christmas is on, and festive movies are set to be consumed – and time is also ticking on the best Black Friday streaming deals , of course. This year, one of our favorites from previous years makes its return with Hulu offering a whopping 90% off. That means the streamer is charging just 99 cents a month for a whole year if you sign up before December 3. Whether you're feeling the Christmas spirit, or hoping to jumpstart some less Grinch like feelings, my gift to you is some hand-picked, top-tier holiday movies available to stream on Hulu. Yes, some may require an add-on, but when the base Hulu subscription is less than a dollar a month, it’s a small price to pay for hours of festive feel-good flicks. And besides, you may find more discounts in our Black Friday Hulu deals to make it worth your while. For even more scoops on the best discounts around right now, check out our Black Friday entertainment deals live blog. Get The Black Friday Deal On Your Hulu Subscriptions Before You Start Streaming Hulu: $9.99 $0.99 A Month For First 12 Months Save 90% - This is definitely my favorite deal of Black Friday 2024, and the one I feel most excited about each year. Hulu's legendary Black Friday deal is such a steal, and it always offers the opportunity to bundle its Premium Add-Ons, which is no different this year. Disney Plus and Hulu for sub-$3? Say less. You can also bundle together Hulu with STARZ for $1.98 a month , or get the aforementioned Disney Plus and Hulu for $2.99 a month . Both lock in the price for a whole 12 months. Expires December 3 At 3am ET Die Hard With the debate seemingly settled, Die Hard is a must on any list of festive flicks. Bruce Willis has rarely been better than his portrayal of NYPD detective John McClane (in the early films at least) and the OG Christmas action movie has him at his wisecracking best. Crawling through air vents, walking through broken glass and swinging off buildings all in an effort to save his wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) and her colleagues from a group of international terrorists cum thieves, McClane is the Christmas hero we all need in our lives. Well, all except Alan Rickman ’s clinical bad guy Hans Gruber. But he’ll fall for him eventually... Stream on Hulu Jingle All The Way From Arnie’s brief 90s foray into family fare, The Austrian Oak plays family man Howard Langston, who after promising his son (future baby Darth Vader Jake Lloyd) that year's must-have toy, finds himself heading out on Christmas Eve to track down one of the last remaining Turbo Man action figures. A story any parent of a certain vintage can relate to, Howard is laughed out of store after store before turning to the black market, radio show giveaways and crooked Santas, all the while facing competition from Sinbad’s increasingly manic mailman Myron. It’s daft, it’s silly, but it’s a whole lot of fun and packed full of nostalgia for those among us that still pine for Christmas in the 90s. Stream on Hulu Gremlins Not your typical holiday movie, Gremlins is nonetheless packed full of Christmas vibes as the small town of Kingston Falls is besieged by mischievous monsters. When Billy Peltzer (Zach Galligan) is gifted a small creature called a Mogwai for Christmas, there’s just three rules to follow. But when one is inadvertently broken, so begins a night of carnage and chaos. Wickedly funny, endlessly innovative and just a little bit scary, Gremlins is perfect for those looking for something a little darker this holiday season. Directed by Joe Dante and written by Home Alone director Chris Colombus, it’s also riotously entertaining, with all the charm you’d expect from something produced by Steven Speilberg. The practical effects alone make it worth a watch as the Gremlins are brought to life, but it’d be a real Scrooge that didn’t fall in love with Mogwai Gizmo the second he appears on screen. Requires Max add-on starting at $9.99 A Christmas Story An American holiday classic coming, bizarrely, from the director of Black Christmas , A Christmas Story is a nostalgic, dreamy journey through childhood as young Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) experiences the highs and lows of the festive season. There’s scary Santas, tongues stuck to lamp posts and lamps shaped like legs, but it all comes together to create a wonderful portrayal of the most magical time of the year for a kid, whether you get that Red Ryder B.B. gun or not. And while you’re there, check out the belated sequel A Christmas Story Christmas which follows the now adult Ralphie returning to his childhood home to give his children the kind of magical Christmas he remembers. There’s old friends, plenty of mishaps and a reconciliation with the death of The Old Man that packs quite the emotional punch. A Christmas Story is your main present, but the sequel is a perfectly entertaining stocking filler. Requires Max add-on starting at $9.99 National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation The follow-up to the equally hilarious National Lampoon's Vacation and the less hilarious European Vacation , Christmas Vacation works just as well for strangers to the Griswold family as it does long-time fans. The John Hughes penned film follows the family, particularly all- American Dad Clark, on the run up to the holidays and his attempts to deliver a “good old fashioned family Christmas”. From picking the perfect tree and managing the in-laws to putting up the best festive lights in town, Clark’s hapless efforts are chock full of holiday hilarity. Grab your moose mug, pour some eggnog and prepare for the hap-hap-happiest Christmas since...well, you know the rest. Requires Max add-on starting at $9.99 Elf Starring Will Ferrell at his absolute best, Elf is, at its core, a story about growing up and how the magic of Christmas has a tendency to diminish the older we get. Enter Buddy (Ferrell), the human-elf whose infectious optimism and wide eyed wonder at the world will have you feeling like a kid on Christmas morning again in no time. Sneaking on to Santa’s slay from the orphanage in which he was left, Buddy always knew he didn’t quite fit in with the rest of the elves. So begins a quest from the magical North Pole to the harsh reality of New York City in an effort to find, and reconnect with, his birth father (James Caan). Things, of course, don’t go smoothly, but Buddy’s fish out of water shenanigans in the Big Apple are pure holiday magic. Requires Max add-on starting at $9.99 The Night Before Definitely one for adults only, Seth Rogen teams up with the guys behind This is the End and Neighbours to apply his usual brand of stoner humour to the holidays. Rogen plays Issac, who, along with friends Ethan (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Chris (Anthony Mackie), spends each Christmas Eve getting wasted in NYC. But with adulthood hitting them like a sleigh, it’s a tradition that’s set to come to an end – but not before they find a way to the Nutcracka-Ball – the holy grail of Christmas parties. Along the way there’s karaoke, a giant piano and a hilarious scene involving Rogen, a church and a bag of drugs. Not festive family fare then, but for those looking for an alternative to the syrupy sweet movies that usually get played on rotation at this time of year The Night Before is a must-see. Requires STARZ add-on, which will currently cost you just $0.99 more Find More Black Friday Deals: There are a ton of deals on streaming services this year, including Black Friday Peacock deals , down to as little as $1.66 a month Keep access of all your subscriptions wherever you go all year round with Black Friday VPN Deals helping to bypass geo-restrictions Check out all the best Black Friday entertainment deals as they come with our live blog

FAIRFIELD — The Fairfield High School girls basketball team won its third straight game to open the season, beating American Canyon on the road, 46-32, Friday night.

price extended its gains for the fourth consecutive day, clearing on its way to the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) as the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict augments demand for the safe-haven metal. The XAU/USD trades at $2,672 at around weekly highs, gaining over 0.80%. Fears that Russia launched an Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) on Ukraine heightened tensions in Eastern Europe. However, according to Reuters citing a Western official, they did not use an ICBM on Thursday. Consequently, the golden metal rose above the 50-day SMA, which is at $2,660, amid firm US Treasury yields and a bid . On the data front, last week's US Initial Jobless Claims hinted that the labor market remains strong, suggesting the (Fed) could achieve a soft landing. Other data was not encouraging, like the Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index, which plunged to -5.5 in November, beneath October’s 10.3 reading. Aside from this, Fed speakers crossed the wires. The New York Fed’s John Williams commented that the disinflationary process continues and added that the fed funds rate will be lower by the end of 2025. Chicago’s Fed Chairman Austan Goolsbee echoed some of his comments. He repeated what he has said lately, supporting lower interest rates, but he opened the door to slowing the pace of easing policy. Traders trimmed the chances for a 25 bps rate cut at the December meeting. The CME FedWatch Tool sees a 56% probability of lowering , down from a 58% chance two days ago. Ahead , the economic docket will feature Fed speakers and the University of Michigan (UoM) Consumer Sentiment data in the US. Daily digest market movers: Gold reaches a new weekly high amid escalation of Russia-Ukraine conflict Technical outlook: Gold price clears the 50-day SMA The uptrend in Gold prices is set to continue, with the non-yielding metal set to trade within the $2,660-$2,700 range. A breach of the latter will expose the November 7 high of $2,710, followed by the psychological $2,750 figure. Once those two levels are removed, up next lies the all-time peak at $2,790. Conversely, sellers will have the upper hand if the non-yielding metal drops below the 50-day SMA at $2,658. Once surpassed, up next would be $2,600, followed by the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $2,550. Bears could target the November 14 swing low of $2,536, followed by XAU/USD diving to $2,500. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has shifted to a bullish bias, indicating buyers are in charge. Gold FAQs Gold has played a key role in human’s history as it has been widely used as a store of value and medium of exchange. Currently, apart from its shine and usage for jewelry, the precious metal is widely seen as a safe-haven asset, meaning that it is considered a good investment during turbulent times. Gold is also widely seen as a hedge against inflation and against depreciating currencies as it doesn’t rely on any specific issuer or government. Central banks are the biggest Gold holders. In their aim to support their currencies in turbulent times, central banks tend to diversify their reserves and buy Gold to improve the perceived strength of the economy and the currency. High Gold reserves can be a source of trust for a country’s solvency. Central banks added 1,136 tonnes of Gold worth around $70 billion to their reserves in 2022, according to data from the World Gold Council. This is the highest yearly purchase since records began. Central banks from emerging economies such as China, India and Turkey are quickly increasing their Gold reserves. Gold has an inverse correlation with the US Dollar and US Treasuries, which are both major reserve and safe-haven assets. When the Dollar depreciates, Gold tends to rise, enabling investors and central banks to diversify their assets in turbulent times. Gold is also inversely correlated with risk assets. A rally in the stock market tends to weaken Gold price, while sell-offs in riskier markets tend to favor the precious metal. The price can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can quickly make Gold price escalate due to its safe-haven status. As a yield-less asset, Gold tends to rise with lower interest rates, while higher cost of money usually weighs down on the yellow metal. Still, most moves depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAU/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Gold controlled, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to push Gold prices up.
