More than nine tonnes of fireworks will be set off in Sydney’s iconic New Year’s Eve display on Tuesday night, with an insider revealing the best spots to watch the spectacular showing. The display could become the city’s biggest ever, with 80 firing positions added tot he western side of the Harbour Bridge. Foti International Fireworks has spent more than 4,500 hours preparing the show, which will include eight water-based fireworks platforms with 1,000 fireworks to fire from the Sydney Opera House sails, 30,000 fireworks from the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and thousands of aerial shells with custom designs including birds, fish and emu tracks. Foti International Fireworks director Fortunato Foti said the 9pm Calling Country display — set to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander talent — would be synched to a soundtrack, with about 150 pyrotechnics set off on four large drones as part of the 9pm and midnight fireworks. “So there’s a bit happening,” Mr Foti said. WHERE TO WATCH THE FIREWORKS He assured Sydneysiders they’d be able to catch a glimpse of the show “if you’re anywhere you can see the Harbour or the tops of the city skyline”. “Obviously anywhere down from the Harbour — Hunters Hill, Gladesville, down that way all the way to Shark Island, you’ll be able to see fireworks,” he said. “Being up in the sky, obviously front or back of the line, you’ll still get a good view. “It’s about enjoyment, I just hope everyone has a good time.” Sydney Park is known to have a good view of the fireworks, with many flocking to the top of the hill with picnic rugs to catch last year’s display. Bicentennial Park in Rozelle Bay also reportedly boasts a nice view, as does Cockatoo Island, according to Secret Sydney. The City of Sydney has put together a list of 50 vantage points across the city opening from as early as 7am, with people expected to queue early in an attempt to secure a good spot. The Sydney Opera House vantage point opens the earliest at 7am, with no tickets required and alcohol available for purchase. Birchgrove Park, Elkington Park, Illoura Reserve, Lookes Avenue Reserve, Mort Bay Park and Yurulbin Park all open at 8am and allow BYO alcohol, with no tickets required. Blues Point, Campbells Cove, Darling Harbour, Dawes Point (Tar-Ra) Park, East Circular Quay, Hickson Rd Reserve, Lavender Bay Parklands, Royal Botanic Garden Sydney: Bennelong Lawn and West Circular Quay all open at 9am with no tickets required but differing rules around alcohol. Bradfield Park and Mary Booth Reserve open from 9.30am along with Royal Botanic Garden Sydney: Tarpeian Lawn, while Simmons Point and Royal Botanic Garden Sydney: Fleet Steps and Mrs Macquaries Point all open from 10am. From midday, Barangaroo Reserve, Duff Reserve, McKell Park, Observatory Hill Park and Pyrmont Bay Park open, while The Rocks is set to open at 1pm and Pirrama Park at 2pm. Bradley’s Head: Amphitheatre, Athol Lawn and Mast Precinct all open at 3pm, however tickets have sold out. Dumaresq Reserve, Murray Rose Pool & Blackburn Gardens, Rose Bay Foreshore and Yarranabe Park also open at 3pm followed by Embarkation Park and Giba Park at 4pm, Manly Cove, North Head, Royal Botanic Garden Sydney: Foundation & Friends NYE Picnic and Strickland Estate at 5pm, and Taronga Zoo at 6pm. Last is Luna Park, which is set to open from 7pm. For those who prefer a quiet night in, the display will be live streamed on the Sydney New Year’s Eve website, as well as broadcast on TV. Mr Foti earlier said this year’s display would be “one of the most innovative New Year’s Eve displays in the world”. “Not only do we have more fireworks than ever before, we’re extremely excited to introduce the aerial platforms concept – the first time this has been done in Australian fireworks history,” Mr Foti said. “The introduction of 80 new positions on the bridge and an additional firing location on the western side has enabled us to extend the footprint of the display and offer people a better view of the fireworks. “No matter where you are around the harbour, you’re in for a great show!” Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the Foti family worked “magic” to put on an event that “continues to be bigger, brighter and more innovative and entertaining” each year. “It’s no wonder our New Year’s Eve display is regarded as one of the largest and most technologically advanced fireworks shows on earth,” Ms Moore said.

The recent announcement of Gary Gensler ‘ s departure from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has sent ripples through the blockchain industry. Gensler, who served as the SEC Chair, was known for his stringent approach to regulating the crypto market. His tenure saw the implementation of robust rulemaking to enhance the efficiency, resiliency, and integrity of the U.S. capital markets, as well as high-impact enforcement cases to hold wrongdoers accountable. Gensler’s exit marks a significant turning point for the blockchain industry, which has long been under the scrutiny of the SEC. Under his leadership, the SEC pursued an aggressive enforcement strategy that led to numerous lawsuits and significant costs for crypto companies. This approach, while aimed at protecting investors and ensuring market integrity, has been viewed by many in the crypto space as a hindrance to innovation and growth. Gensler’s approach to regulation was often seen as aggressive, especially by those within the crypto industry. He emphasized investor protection and was vocal about the risks associated with the burgeoning market. Under his watch, the SEC took action against several key players in the crypto space for various violations.

For instance, the approval of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tracking the spot price of Bitcoin was a notable achievement, providing investors with easier access to the cryptocurrency. The reaction to Gensler’s resignation has been mixed. Some view it as a loss of a regulatory figure who prioritized investor protection, while others see it as an opportunity for a more lenient regulatory environment. The market’s response was immediate, with cryptocurrencies like XRP and Bitcoin experiencing notable price surges following the announcement. The blockchain industry is now at a crossroads, with Gensler’s departure signaling a potential shift in regulatory stance. The next chair will face the challenge of balancing the need for investor protection with the industry’s call for a more conducive regulatory environment that fosters innovation. The crypto community has expressed hope that the new leadership will bring a fresh perspective to digital asset regulation and engage in meaningful dialogue with market participants. The impact of this leadership change on the blockchain industry cannot be overstated. A more collaborative approach between regulators and the crypto sector could lead to the development of a regulatory framework that not only protects consumers but also supports the advancement of blockchain technology. Such a framework could position the United States as a global leader in the digital asset space, attracting investment and fostering innovation. As the industry awaits the appointment of a new SEC Chair, there is a sense of cautious optimism. The blockchain community hopes for a regulatory environment that is clear, fair, and conducive to growth. The coming months will be crucial in determining the direction of U.S. crypto policy and its implications for the global blockchain ecosystem. Gary Gensler’s resignation from the SEC opens up a new chapter for the blockchain industry. It presents an opportunity for a reset in the relationship between regulators and the crypto market. The industry looks forward to a regulatory approach that encourages innovation while upholding the integrity of the markets. The legacy of Gensler’s tenure will continue to influence the SEC’s policies, but the future now holds the promise of a fresh start for the blockchain industry.Falcons predicted to sign former No.2 overall pick in 2025 | Sporting NewsRUBEN AMORIM gave Manchester United five out of ten for Sunday’s performance at Ipswich. The coach looked frustrated as the Red Devils struggled in the 1-1 draw — his first game in charge — against the Premier League new boys. Amorim delivered his verdict on the average display in the Portman Road dressing room, where he also revealed he was blown away by the intensity of the top flight. A source said: "Amorim said their performance was a five out of ten. "He was impressed with Ipswich and thought the game was played at an incredible intensity. "But he added that it showed just how much United need to improve." Former Sporting Lisbon boss Amorim, who replaced axed Erik ten Hag as boss this month, is realistic about the major task ahead of him. But he warned his players that they must improve and learn quickly. The Portuguese, 39, acknowledged that if 18th-placed Ipswich are one of the Prem’s lesser teams, then it showed the job he has on his hands to turn Man Utd 's fortunes around. He took his first training session last Monday , with the international break only halfway through. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS The source added: "He was critical of one or two players for losing the ball and not being in the right positions. "But he also said, ‘Some of you I’ve had for two days, some two weeks’, so he was realistic. "He did say they were going to have to learn quickly." MANCHESTER UNITED began the Ruben Amorim era with a 1-1 draw away at Ipswich. Marcus Rashford needed just 81 seconds to put the Red Devils in front at Portman Road, tapping home an Amad Diallo cross. But Ipswich hit back when Omari Hutchinson's strike flew in via a deflection off Noussair Mazraoui. And it was the newly-promoted side who looked likelier to get a winner in the second half. Here is how SunSport's Charlie Wyett saw the performances of the Man Utd players... ANDRE ONANA - 7/10 United’s best player. Two key stops to deny Liam Delap but no chance for the deflected Omari Hutchinson goal. Then delivered an 87th minute save to keep out an effort from Conor Chaplin. NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI - 5 Slotted in on the right of the three-man defence but unfortunate with the deflection for the goal. MATTHIJS DE LIGT - 5 Has been suspect this season and will probably be better suited to a back three although still given a tough time by Delap. JONNY EVANS - 5 The 36-year-old was targeted by Ipswich for his lack of pace and no surprise he was replaced. AMAD DIALLO - 6 Did incredibly well to bomb past Jens Cajuste and deliver the cross for Rashford’s early goal but offered little else. CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN - 5 Some nice touches going forward but too lightweight in this position in front of the back three. CASEMIRO - 4 Lucky to start ahead of Manuel Ugarte and was really poor. Struggled throughout before being subbed and could maybe have got a block to the Hutchinson shot. DIOGO DALOT - 5 Not suited to left wing-back although stayed there when Luke Shaw arrived because the English international replaced Evans in the back three. BRUNO FERNANDES - 5 Some of his link-up play was fine but United need a captain who can inspire this team and Fernandes is not the man. Sent a free-kick flashing past the post with 12 minutes left. ALEJANDRO GARNACHO - 5 Twice called over by Ruben Amorim in the first half for instructions. Denied by a decent save from Aro Muric 50 seconds into the second half. MARCUS RASHFORD - 6 Criticised for his basketball trip to New York so to score after 80 seconds was two fingers up at his critics - but did not offer much after that. Subs Ugarte (for Casemiro 56 mins) - 6 Shaw (for Evans 56 mins) - 6 Hojlund (for Rashford 67 mins) - 5 Zirkzee ( for Eriksen 67 mins) - 5 Mount (for Garnacho 87 mins) - 5

DETROIT (AP) — Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams will not be charged with a crime after he was found with a gun in a car driven by his brother, a prosecutor said Monday. The gun on the floor was registered to Williams, but he didn’t have a concealed-carry permit. His brother did. Prosecutor Kym Worthy said Michigan law is “far from clear” when applied to the 1 a.m. traffic stop on Oct. 8. “We really could not recall any case that had facts that mirrored this case,” she said. Williams was riding in a car driven by his brother when Detroit police stopped the vehicle for speeding. Williams said one of two guns in the car belonged to him and was registered. But without a concealed-pistol license, known as a CPL, a Michigan gun owner typically must place the weapon in a closed case while in a vehicle. A violation is a felony. In this case, Williams’ brother had a permit. “The CPL holder here was the driver and had care, custody and control of the car,” Worthy said. “Guidance is needed for the future on how many weapons can a valid CPL say that they have control over.” Williams obtained a CPL on Nov. 6, a month later, attorney Todd Flood said. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. “My client is thankful and humbled by the hard work Kym Worthy and her team put into this matter,” Flood said. During the traffic stop, Williams was handcuffed and placed in a patrol car before officers released him with his gun instead of taking him to a detention center. Williams, a first-round draft pick in 2022, has 29 catches for 602 yards and four touchdowns this season. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL Advertisement Advertisement

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Anze Kopitar scored twice, Adrian Kempe had a goal and an assist, and the Los Angeles Kings got their seventh straight home win by beating the Philadelphia Flyers 5-4 on Sunday night. Kevin Fiala and Warren Foegele also scored for the Kings, who trailed 4-2 midway through the second period before rebounding to sweep a back-to-back after defeating recent playoff nemesis Edmonton in overtime on Saturday. David Rittich made 17 saves. Kopitar was in the right place to redirect Quinton Byfield's rebound in and tie it at 4 early in the third, before following it up by chopping in Kempe's shot during a power play at 8:55 for the 5-4 lead. Matvei Michkov had a goal and an assist for the Flyers after being benched for the third period against Anaheim on Saturday . Tyson Foerster, Scott Laughton and Joel Farabee also scored, and Aleksei Kolosov made 15 saves. Flyers: Michkov responded well after some tough coaching from John Tortorella, ending a seven-game point drought. Kings: Kopitar is 19 seasons into his Kings career but shows no signs of slowing down. He is up to 12 goals and 27 assists through 36 games. Foegele showed good composure in following up his rebound on a breakaway with 4:56 left in the second, getting the Kings back within 4-3 and setting the stage for Kopitar's final-period heroics. Los Angeles is a resilient bunch, improving to 8-7-1 when allowing the first goal. The Flyers visit San Jose on Tuesday, and the Kings host New Jersey on Wednesday. AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhlTesla Stock Falls As Analyst Says 'Animal Spirits' Spur Post-Election Rally, Not Fundamentals - Investor's Business DailyALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — Google, already facing a possible breakup of the company over its ubiquitous search engine , is fighting to beat back another attack by the U.S. Department of Justice alleging monopolistic conduct, this time over technology that puts online advertising in front of consumers. The Justice Department and Google made closing arguments Monday in a trial alleging Google's advertising technology constitutes an illegal monopoly. U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema in Alexandria, Virginia, will decide the case and is expected to issue a written ruling by the end of the year. If Brinkema finds Google has engaged in illegal, monopolistic conduct, she will then hold further hearings to explore what remedies should be imposed. The Justice Department, along with a coalition of states, has already said it believes Google should be forced to sell off parts of its ad tech business, which generates tens of billions of dollars annually for the Mountain View, California-based company. After roughly a month of trial testimony earlier this year, the arguments in the case remain the same. During three hours of arguments Monday, Brinkema, who sometimes tips her hand during legal arguments, did little to indicate how she might rule. She did, though, question the applicability of a key antitrust case Google cites in its defense. The Justice Department contends Google built and maintained a monopoly in “open-web display advertising,” essentially the rectangular ads that appear on the top and right-hand side of the page when one browses websites. Google dominates all facets of the market. A technology called DoubleClick is used pervasively by news sites and other online publishers, while Google Ads maintains a cache of advertisers large and small looking to place their ads on the right webpage in front of the right consumer. In between is another Google product, AdExchange, that conducts nearly instantaneous auctions matching advertisers to publishers. In court papers, Justice Department lawyers say Google “is more concerned with acquiring and preserving its trifecta of monopolies than serving its own publisher and advertiser customers or winning on the merits.” As a result, content providers and news organizations have never been able to generate the online revenue they should due to Google’s excessive fees for brokering transactions between advertisers and publishers, the government says. Google argues the government's case improperly focuses on a narrow niche of online advertising. If one looks more broadly at online advertising to include social media, streaming TV services, and app-based advertising, Google says it controls as little as 10% of the market, a share that is dwindling as it faces increased and evolving competition. Google alleges in court papers that the government’s lawsuit “boil(s) down to the persistent complaints of a handful of Google’s rivals and several mammoth publishers.” Google also says it has invested billions in technology that facilitates the efficient match of advertisers to interested consumers and it should not be forced to share its technology and success with competitors. “Requiring a company to do further engineering work to make its technology and customers accessible by all of its competitors on their preferred terms has never been compelled by U.S. antitrust law,” the company wrote. Brinkema, during Monday's arguments, also sought clarity on Google’s market share, a number the two sides dispute, depending on how broadly the market is defined. Historically, courts have been unwilling to declare an illegal monopoly in markets in which a company holds less than a 70% market share. Google says that when online display advertising is viewed as a whole, it holds only a 10% market share, and dwindling. The Justice Department contends, though, that when focusing on open-web display advertising, Google controls 91% of the market for publisher ad servers and 87% of the market for advertiser ad networks. Google says that the “open web display advertising” market is gerrymandered by the Justice Department to make Google look bad, and that nobody in the industry looks at that category of ads without considering the ability of advertisers to switch to other forms of advertising, like in mobile apps. The Justice Department also contends that the public is harmed by the excessive rates Google charges to facilitate ad purchases, saying the company takes 36 cents on the dollar when it facilitates the transaction end to end. Google says its “take rate” has dropped to 31% and continues to decrease, and it says that rate is lower than that of its competitors. “When you have an integrated system, one of the benefits is lower prices," Google lawyer Karen Dunn said Monday. The Virginia case is separate from an ongoing lawsuit brought against Google in the District of Columbia over its namesake search engine. In that case, the judge determined it constitutes an illegal monopoly but has not decided what remedy to impose. The Justice Department said last week it will seek to force Google to sell its Chrome web browser , among a host of other penalties. Google has said the department's request is overkill and unhinged from legitimate regulation. In Monday's arguments, Justice Department lawyer Aaron Teitelbaum cited the search engine case when he highlighted an email from a Google executive, David Rosenblatt, who said in a 2009 email that Google’s goal was to “do to display what Google did to search," which Teitelbaum said showed the company's intent to achieve market dominance. “Google did not achieve its trifecta of monopolies by accident,” Teitelbaum said.
