Douglas Emmett, Inc. (DEI) to Issue Quarterly Dividend of $0.19 on January 15thMiami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and wide receiver Jaylen Waddle are inactive for Sunday's matchup against the host Cleveland Browns. Tagovailoa was limited all week due to a hip injury and was downgraded to doubtful on Saturday afternoon. Waddle, in turn, was questionable to play versus the Browns after being limited in practice on Thursday and Friday. Tyler Huntley is expected to start under center for the Dolphins (7-8), who are fighting to stay in playoff contention and need a win against the Browns (3-12) to stay in the mix. Huntley, 26, has started three games this season for the Dolphins while Tagovailoa was out before suffering a shoulder injury. Huntley was 39 of 66 (59.1 percent) for 377 yards, one TD and one pick. He also ran 16 times for 67 yards and a score. Tagovailoa already has missed four games this season because of a concussion while starting the other 11. He is 291 of 399 (league-best 72.9 percent) for 2,867 yards, 19 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Waddle, 26, has 54 catches this season for 700 yards and two touchdowns. In addition to Tagovailoa and Waddle, linebackers Anthony Walker and Mohamed Kamara, cornerback Nik Needham, offensive lineman Andrew Meyer and wide receiver Erik Ezukanma are inactive for Sunday's game. For Cleveland, Jameis Winston will serve as the emergency third quarterback. Wide receiver Cedric Tillman, cornerback Chigozie Anusiem, defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo and tight end David Njoku also are inactive for the Browns. --Field Level MediaStunning photos show lava erupting from Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano
The Girls’ School Association has warned that Labour’s plan to charge VAT on private school fees in January could lead to fewer women growing up to have careers in male-dominated industries such as sports or physics. Beth Probert, 27, is an award-winning astrophysicist and PhD researcher at the University of Strathclyde’s Applied Space Technology Laboratory in Glasgow. Here she explains why this isn’t the case . I grew up in the countryside near Alice Holt forest in Hampshire in the south of England. That was lucky because it’s one of the darkest regions in the South. When I was a child, I spent a lot of time outside, just lying down, and staring at the stars. I was completely mesmerised by all these little lights in the sky. I’ve always been a bookworm, so I’d go and get lots of encyclopedia books to learn as much about the sky as possible. I remember giving myself minor existential crises about how big the universe was and how small we were, and just trying to wrap my child brain around that idea. We’re a speck of dust in the universe. I’ve always been fascinated. I went to a state school , and I like to think I’m doing pretty well for myself as a result. I went to Weydon School in Farnham, which is a mixed-gender science specialist school, where I had a lot of exposure to science and we had specialist labs that we received funding for. Today, I’m a PhD researcher with a background in software engineering, looking at satellite communications and automating collision avoidance between satellites. Personally, having a state school education enabled me to experience diversity in broader terms than just gender, but also in background and upbringing in socioeconomic terms, which helped me develop a stronger sense of empathy and understanding for people in circumstances different to me. I made friends with people from a much more diverse set of backgrounds. I’ve carried that with me today and the experiences I had at school have shaped me to become someone who is very passionate about diversity and inclusion in STEM. Even though my school was a specialist school for science, I definitely faced some barriers because I was a girl. I remember telling one of my teachers that I loved physics. He said: “You’d make a really great physics teacher. There’s a shortage of women physics teachers. You should think about going into teaching.” I never had any interest in teaching. I wanted to be a scientist. But I was never encouraged to consider it. Read Next I ditched healthy morning routines – and feel better than ever But that didn’t matter. Instead, the biggest inspiration for me was my upbringing. I grew up in a female-only household. My mum is one of the strongest women I know, and she’s known about my love of space and science pretty much since I was born. She has only ever encouraged me, pushed me and challenged me to go that bit further and to chase my ambition. She’s never tried to box me into anything or tell me I should aim for less. Growing up I had never seen women be limited. I think really helped me push ahead. At university, I studied astrophysics at Bath. There were around 120 people on the course, and around 20 were girls. Barely any of them went to a private school. A friend who did go to private school actually went there on a scholarship. Private education doesn’t dominate the field. Regardless of whether you send your child to a girls’ private school or a mixed-state school, I think there is a bigger problem that needs addressing. Teachers have a huge role to play in encouraging girls to pursue their dreams, whatever school they teach at. There’s so much research that shows children as young as eight have already learned gender stereotypes about what girls and boys can and can’t do. We need to start even younger than secondary school, which is probably where I had my first real exposure to learning science. If we want more girls in physics, we need to be showing girls in primary school that they are capable of anything. There was another piece of research done recently by WISE that showed that in STEM job advertisements, boys relate more to verbs. Such as “You will be programming,” or “You will be problem-solving”. On the other hand, girls respond more to adjectives that describe a person: “You are a logical thinker” or “You are creative.” To get more girls into science, rather than sending them to a private school, we need to stop talking about what scientists do in terms of complex equations and instead ask: What is a scientist like? How does a scientist think? I think a lot of girls don’t realise that they have the right personality for the job. Firstly, you have to be creative to find unique solutions. You need to be resilient because science is all about trying and failing. We assume scientists are introverted and like to work alone, but in reality, to be a good scientist you need to be a really strong communicator. You need to be able to work well with others. The programming skills can be learnt later. There is a stereotype that state schools are limiting. However, the majority of students in the UK still go to state schools and succeed. I don’t regret going to my state school, and I haven’t achieved any less for it.US announces nearly $1 bn in new military aid for Ukraine
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Saturday said that the Indian Constitution is the guide to the whole world and “we are proud of our Constitution”. Addressing a programme following the inauguration of the Constitution Museum at OP Jindal Global University in Sonipat, he remarked that India is among the leading countries of the world today due to its Constitution. He said the Constitution Museum will inspire future generations. “We will celebrate Constitution Day on 26th November, with programmes being organised in all colleges, universities, and educational institutions. Birla said Prime Minister Narendra Modi started this programme in 2015 to make the people of the country aware of their Constitution. “We should remember our heritage and contribution and be proud of our country’s Constitution and its makers. Our democracy is the strongest in the whole world,” he remarked. Advertisement “Today, people around the world are adopting the values of our Constitution, which is the strength of our democracy. We gave the message of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ to the whole world, and today, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we are moving forward with this message,” he said. Remembering the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, on the occasion, he said, “Today, we are moving forward with Gandhiji’s ideas, and we are proud that the ideas of the Father of the Nation are being adopted across the world.” The Lok Sabha Speaker said that when the Constitution of the country was drafted, there was a need for equality, and it was within the basic structure of the Constitution that the foundation of equality was laid. He emphasised that the Constitution is not merely a legal framework but a document of social change. “Today, we are happy that we are taking forward the role of ‘Antyodaya’, thanks to our Constitution,” Birla said, thanking the Chancellor of the university and MP Naveen Jindal for building the Constitution Museum. In his address, Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal said, “Our Constitution is a matter of pride and glory for us as it gave us the message of freedom, unity, and socialism. We are the Mother of Democracy.” He also congratulated the university for building the Constitution Museum. MP Naveen Jindal said, “Our country is moving forward with democratic values due to its Constitution. With this museum, the university has tried to present all the aspects — from the creation of the Constitution to its implementation and development in the country in front of future generations.” Birla said that a seminar on the Constitution is also being organised at the university campus for four days. Deputy Commissioner Dr Manoj Kumar, DCP East Prabina P, Vice Chancellor of the University C Raj Kumar, and many other dignitaries were present on the occasion.

Heavy travel day starts with brief grounding of all American Airlines flightsPERSONAL FINANCE | TRAVEL In April, the Department of Transportation announced new airline rules requiring prompt automatic cash refunds to passengers when owed. The final rule took effect Oct. 28 and should simplify and speed up the process of receiving your money back due to a canceled or significantly changed flight or delayed luggage. "Passengers deserve to get their money back when an airline owes them — without headaches or haggling," said Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. "Our new rule sets a new standard to require airlines to promptly provide cash refunds to their passengers." According to the Department of Transportation, under the old rules, airlines were permitted to set their own standards for what kind of flight changes warranted a refund, which made receiving a refund for a canceled or delayed flight a complicated affair. This was seen during the global technology outage in July that disrupted several major airlines and caused thousands of flight cancellations and delays. Many customers were left to wait hours in customer-service lines to start the reimbursement process for their chosen airline. The new rule clearly defines the circumstances in which airlines must provide refunds and how they should be administered, making the reimbursement process much easier if your trip goes awry. According to the Department of Transportation, this is when customers are entitled to a refund: Canceled or significantly changed flights If your flight is canceled or significantly changed and you do not accept alternative transportation or travel credits off ered, you will be refunded. According to the Department of Transportation, significant changes to a flight include departure or arrival times that are more than three hours domestically and six hours internationally; departures or arrivals from a different airport; increases in the number of connections; instances where passengers are downgraded to a lower class of service; or connections at diff erent airports or flights on diff erent planes that are less accessible or accommodating to a person with a disability. Significantly delayed baggage return If you file a mishandled-baggage report, you will be entitled to a refund of your checked-bag fee if your luggage is not delivered within 12 hours of your domestic flight arriving at the gate or 15 to 30 hours of your international flight arriving at the gate. Extra services not provided If you pay for an additional service, like in-flight Wi-Fi or a specific seat selection, and you don't receive this accommodation, you are entitled to a refund. The Department of Transportation has also outlined several rules for how refunds will be processed: ■ Automatic: Airlines must automatically issue refunds. Customers will no longer have to explicitly request a refund — which can be a complicated aff air. ■ Prompt: Refunds must be issued within seven business days of refunds becoming due for credit-card purchases and 20 calendar days for other payment methods. ■ Cash or original form of payment: Airlines must provide refunds in cash or whatever original payment method the individual used to make the purchase. ■ Total amount: Airlines and ticket agents must provide full refunds of the ticket purchase price minus the value of any portion of transportation already used. This includes all taxes and fees. Get local news delivered to your inbox!
Should the U.S. increase immigration levels for highly skilled workers?Photo: Pexels Two communities in the Silmilkameen will be going head to head on the ice on Saturday for some friendly competition. Both the Tulameen & District Fire Department and the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen shared the news that the Annual Tulameen versus Princeton Winter Classic adult game will go ahead. "Keith Sanderson has been working hard to keep the ice conditions as good as possible for us in these warmer temperatures. Please help Keith, by staying off the rink at night time, to give the ice as much of a break for freezing time as we can," the post reads. The fire hall will be opened up as a change room as well. A reminder for players that the game begins at 1 p.m., so they are asked to come beforehand to be ready to play. The community club will be hosting a cash only concession stand. A bonfire beside the rink will be lit to keep everyone warm. The game takes place at the Tulameen Ice Rink on Saturday at 1 p.m. and the rink will be off-limits from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. to other skaters. Photo: Contributed
