Muscat Nights Festival has entered a new era spreading over seven locations for the first time. Al Qurum Natural Park, a floral paradise with over a million blooms, has become a key highlight of this year’s celebrations. In an interview with Oman TV, Ahmed bin Mohammed al Humaidi, Chairman of Muscat Municipality, stated, “For the first time, the festival is being held in as many as seven locations, offering a variety of activities, including sports, entertainment and cultural events.” Muscat Nights Festival 2024 features numerous entertainment and tourism events spread across Amerat Park, Al Naseem Public Park, Oman Automobile Association, Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre, Al Hail Beach and Wadi al Khoud, besides Al Qurum Natural Park, several cultural centres and shopping malls. These locations were selected to ensure accessibility for residents and visitors throughout the capital. Humaidi informed that a global element has been incorporated in the festival to enhance its appeal. Amerat Park is hosting ‘Hybrid Show’, organised by an international company, features cutting-edge technology and creating a unique experience for visitors. The flower festival at Al Qurum Natural Park is being held of the first time at Muscat Nights Festival. Additionally, Sur al Hadeed Beach is hosting a range of sports activities, adding to the festival’s diverse offerings. Elaborating on the activities at Sur al Hadeed Beach, Humaidi said it includes a wide range of activities – beach soccer and volleyball competitions, fire performances, giant chess board matches, graffiti art, live music shows and service kiosks offering various amenities throughout the festival ground. “Spread over 4,000sqm, the Hybrid Show blends live performances with modern digital technologies, such as augmented and virtual reality, to create an unprecedented interactive experience for the audience.” Humaidi further added, “We have designated areas at the seven locations for visitors to take photos and enjoy the events.” Highlighting the involvement of small and medium enterprises and productive families, Humaidi said, “Over 900 SMEs and enterprising families are participating in the festival to present their products and services. The festival provides a significant platform for these businesses to showcase their offerings to nearly one million anticipated visitors.” On the organisational front, Muscat Municipality has deployed more than 700 personnel at the festival venues to manage the event. Humaidi emphasised the importance of engaging youth in the festival’s activities, stating, “We are keen to involve young people in an organised manner to ensure a unique and integrated experience for visitors. We also aim to engage students who need work experience, helping them transition into the labour market immediately after graduation.” According to Humaidi, to support this initiative Muscat Municipality will collaborate with educational institutions to provide certificates of experience to participating students, with plans to expand this programme in future festivals.Yet Another Personnel Move Has Backfired For The Giants

LOS ANGELES — As the Dodgers officially welcomed their latest gazillionaire pitcher to a remodeling Dodger Stadium last week, the churning of the bulldozers in the infield was momentarily drowned out by the whining around the baseball world. Boo-hoo! The Dodgers are buying another championship! For shame! The Dodgers have an unfair advantage! It’s not right! The Dodgers are ruining baseball! On and on the tears flowed, from Pittsburgh to Minnesota, from Northern California to South Florida, with many blubbering that signing two-time Cy Young Award-winning Blake Snell to a $182-million contract officially makes the defending World Series champions bad for the game. Stop it. Just stop it. Far from being a blight on the major-league landscape, right now the Dodgers’ front office is everything that is good about the game. They are smart, savvy and fearless. They base decisions not only on analytics but also attitude. They spend a lot of money, but only because they make a lot of money, and since when is reinvesting revenue into your fans a bad thing? Many think the Dodgers should be grateful to win the World Series this year and humbly behave like other recent defending champions by cutting corners and reducing costs and receding back into the pack. Forget that. These Dodgers are intent on running it back, going even harder for an encore, sparing no expense in an attempt to become baseball’s first back-to-back champions in a quarter-century. Deal with it. Endure it. Maybe even learn from it? The Dodgers need not apologize to anyone for doubling down on a Commissioner’s Trophy, because they have created a championship the right away. They’ve built it, not bought it. Andrew Friedman spent nearly a decade creating the sort of smart culture that strengthened the clubhouse and stocked the farm system. Stan Kasten spent that same time running a Guggenheim business model that restored the fan experience at baseball’s largest stadium, selling record numbers of tickets while enduring much justified criticism to score big TV money. Finally, with the infrastructure in place and the new money flowing, the Dodgers then opened their fatted wallet for the players that created the championship. Players didn’t want to come here only for the big money, they wanted to come for the winning baseball, which is something that could have happened with any team that was lucky enough and brainy enough and focused enough. “Winning is hard. There are teams that have a lot of resources that have trouble winning,” Friedman said. “Winning is hard. It goes way beyond money. It gets to culture, the type of people you have around.” Everyone talks about the nearly $2 billion in committed money, the more than $1 billion owed in deferred payments from 2028 to 2046, and a current annual payroll that will exceed $350 million, more than triple some of baseball’s cheaper operations. But did you know that for the first five years of his reign, Friedman did not sign a player for more than $100 million? He used that time to build an atmosphere where players wanted to be and, soon enough, the superstars essentially began signing themselves. Listen to Snell, who signed so early in the offseason that the stove was not yet even hot. “It was really easy,” he said of his choice. “... You look at the team, you look at what they’ve built, what they’re doing, it’s just something you want to be a part of.” Over the last couple of years, one has heard the same thing over and over. Mookie Betts was traded here, liked what he saw and signed his giant contract four months later. Freddie Freeman wanted to stay in Atlanta, didn’t feel the love and quickly moved into the Dodgers’ embrace. Shohei Ohtani moved up the road from pleasant Anaheim because he desperately coveted a championship. Money was a major factor in all three signings, for sure, but the offers were maximized by the atmosphere. Players saw how other players got better here. They saw the Dodgers rescue the careers of Max Muncy and Chris Taylor. They saw how young Walker Buehler grew into a lights-out pressure pitcher here. They saw Will Smith go from ordinary catcher to a $140-million man. The final piece to the complicated economic puzzle occurred last winter with a simple handshake. Ohtani agreed to defer all but $2 million annually of his $700-million contract if it would help the Dodgers pursue championship players. The Dodgers agreed, living up to their promise by signing the likes of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow and Teoscar Hernández. It is no coincidence that Snell agreed to defer $66 million of his contract. The Ohtani agreement grows stronger and deeper. “The pledge that we made when we met with him about how aggressive we were going to be to try to win, we feel some responsibility and obligation to fulfill that,” Friedman said of Ohtani. “I think no matter what, our mindset was, ‘Let’s be aggressive to add to the core that we had.’” So they recently added Snell, and tacked on a $74-million extension for National League Championship Series most valuable player Tommy Edman, and here’s guessing they’re not done yet. “What’s really difficult is to win; what’s even harder to do is repeat,” Friedman said. “And to a man, all the guys that we talked to, our players, coaching staff, everyone was of the mind, ‘Let’s run it back. Let’s do everything we can to be in a position to win.’ We feel like we’ve got a really talented team in place. So everything for us was centered around, ‘What can we do? What can we add to put ourselves in the best position to do that?’” And to all of you who are complaining about the Dodgers’ passion, does your team have the same basic commitment? A chart called “The Scrooge Index” compiled by Travis Sawchik of the Score would indicate it does not. According to the index, the Dodgers ranked second in baseball last season by investing 67% of their total revenue into payroll. The Tampa Bay Rays were last at 32%. The Dodgers spend more than half of their big money on talent as part of an unspoken pact with fans that Kasten, the Dodgers’ chief executive who arrived with Guggenheim in 2012, refers to as their virtuous cycle. “This is our investment in our fans, and our fans keep investing in us,” Kasten said. “The first day I got here, we said we think this market would support us if we do the right things, and our fans have supported us, and this is us supporting them, so they can support us, and on and on.” Come spring training, there actually may appear a Dodgers story in this newspaper that doesn’t contain a dollar sign. But for now, sit back and enjoy the spending while understanding that the nurturing of this dynasty is about something much richer.

In a first, Netflix is set to host the NFL’s two marquee Christmas Day games: the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 p.m. ET, followed by the Baltimore Ravens against the Houston Texans at 4:30 p.m. Beyoncé will headline the halftime show during the latter game, featuring her first live performance of tracks from her “Cowboy Carter” country album. The games are a key test for the streaming giant as it doubles down on live events programming and aims to provide more than 280 million subscribers with real-time content that was once the exclusive domain of traditional television networks. But amid the hoopla, the company faces questions about whether it has the capacity to stream these events without technical glitches. The concerns were underscored during the heavily hyped boxing match between retired pro Mike Tyson and social media personality Jake Paul . Netflix called the Nov. 15 fight the most-streamed sporting event ever, peaking at 65 million concurrent streams. But many viewers were frustrated by buffering issues during the livestream. “Glitchy is a generous way of describing it,” said Patrick Crakes, a media consultant and former Fox Sports executive. Similarly, the streamer’s “Love Is Blind” reunion special in April 2023 was delayed after what one of the company’s top executives described as a technical “bug” that had been accidentally introduced in an effort to improve live broadcasting after it aired a Chris Rock stand-up comedy special the previous month. “We didn’t meet the standard that we expect from ourselves to serve our members,” Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters said on an earnings call last year. In the run-up to the big holiday NFL games, Netflix said it studied issues from previous live events and made necessary adjustments. The tweaks include leaning on third-party providers such as Charter Communications and Comcast, which are giving Netflix extra capacity, according to sources familiar with the matter. (Comcast owns NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News.) The media operation at the NFL, which entered into a three-year deal with Netflix to broadcast some games, feels confident about the streaming platform’s bandwidth. “I think the evolution of the medium is getting there,” Brian Rolapp, the league’s chief media and business officer, told CNBC. “And I think they’re taking all the necessary steps to have a great Christmas Day.” Netflix is not the only major streaming service that has pushed more deeply into high-profile events that were once carried on broadcast networks or cable channels. Amazon Prime Video holds the exclusive streaming rights for the NFL’s “Thursday Night Football.” Disney+ simulcasts sporting events through its ESPN tile, and Warner Bros.’ Max app plays CNN news broadcasts and NBA games that used to run strictly on TNT. Peacock, the platform owned and operated by NBCUniversal, drew a sizable audience this summer as the streaming home of the Paris Olympics. Netflix has more high-profile live events on the calendar, including weekly World Wrestling Entertainment “Raw” shows that start streaming in less than two weeks. Then, in 2027 and 2031, Netflix will be home to the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Netflix has also shown interest in livestreaming Hollywood awards shows; the 30th Screen Actors Guild Awards aired on the platform in late February. “I think that everyone ... is going to have to get used to finding their content across multiple different distribution platforms,” said Crakes, the former Fox Sports executive.

Preparing a Thanksgiving meal may be cost-prohibitive and overwhelming for families experiencing food insecurity. Three Philadelphia organizations are working to provide a Thanksgiving meal to those in need just days before the holiday — The International People’s Storehouse (TIPS), Tipsy Cafe and Catering and House of Glory. Mothers of Philadelphia Eagles players plan to help make the meals memorable at the TIPS frozen turkey giveaway in Nicetown called the Joy of Giving. “Nice things come out of Nicetown. I understand what it means to be poor and struggling,” said Nikki Bagby , TIPS chief executive officer and founder. She shared she understands the challenges of working-class families. Bagby decided to host the event in the evening to support families after work. Philly’s immigrant and refugee populations remain ‘thankful together’ during Thanksgiving celebration “We know the future will be better because you are sharing the present with us,” said HIAS’ executive director. 7 hours ago The Joy of Giving Thanksgiving Giveaway at TIPS features free turkeys and food in Nicetown on Tuesday, Nov. 26 at Nicetown Courts, 4340 Germantown Ave., from 5 to 8 p.m. The mothers of Philadelphia Eagles players Nakobe Dean, Kelee Ringo, Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith will be greeting families. TIPS organizers expect to give away 200 Thanksgiving baskets. The event is co-sponsored by iHeart Radio’s Rise & Grind Team, Gift of Life, Nicetown CDC, NKM Consulting, Auntie’s Place and Serve PHL. Tipsy Cafe and Catering celebrates five years of providing free turkey meals to the local community. Anh Vongbandith, co-owner of Tipsy Cafe and Catering, plans to feed up to 400 people on Wednesday, Nov. 27 at 5227 Germantown Ave. from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. She credits her upbringing as inspiring her work. “Growing up in Hawaii we were very poor, and food sensitivity was an issue and this is my way of giving back,” Vongbandith said. “Many people grab food for neighbors, elderly also.” The meal giveaway includes hot to-go dinner plates with turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, cranberry and a side of corn. Vongbandith hopes the public will catch the giving spirit. She is still accepting turkey donations as well as canned goods and side dishes. The deadline to drop off food donations is noon on Tuesday.

Where to watch Ravens vs. Chargers game tonight: Free live streamFox News senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram looks at the incoming vice president's efforts to counter potential roadblocks in Congress for some of President-elect Donald Trump's administration picks on 'Special Report.' Senate Republicans faced criticism over several vote absences this week that allowed Democrats to confirm judges or agree to end debate on nominees that otherwise could have been blocked if each of the missing GOP lawmakers were there. One particularly crucial vote was on Monday for a lifetime appointment to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court, a coveted appeals court slot to which Democrats did not have the votes to confirm President Biden's nominee, since outgoing Sen. Joe Manchin, I-W.Va., voted against. However, since Sens. Mike Braun, R-Ind., Steve Daines, R-Mont., Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., JD Vance, R-Ohio, and Marco Rubio, R-Fla., did not vote, the nominee was confirmed by 49 votes to 45 votes. DSCC HOPEFUL GILLIBRAND SAYS DEMS SHOULD HAVE PUT IMMIGRATION FIX ON TABLE '2 YEARS AGO' Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer scored judicial wins as a result of GOP Senate absences. (Reuters) "This leftist judge would have been voted down and the seat on the important 11th circuit would have been filled by Donald Trump next year had Republicans showed up," wrote Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., on X. "Now, the leftist judge will have a lifetime appointment and the people of FL, AL and GA will suffer the consequences." Mike Davis, the former chief counsel for nominations to former Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, told Fox News Digital, "A senator’s only job is to show up and vote." "President Biden is jamming through bottom-of-the-barrel radical left-wing judges for lifetime appointments to the federal bench after the American people voted for dramatic change. Senate Republicans must do everything they can to stop this lame-duck conveyor belt of radicals. But if these Senate Republicans cannot even show up to vote, let alone debate for four hours on each judge, why should we vote for these deadbeat senators?" Davis is also founder and president of the Article III Project. GOP SENATOR DEBUTS BILL TO ABOLISH EDUCATION DEPARTMENT FOLLOWING TRUMP CAMPAIGN PROMISE DeSantis criticized Republicans over a circuit court confirmation. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall) A senior Senate source confirmed to Fox News Digital that there was irritation among the Republican conference about their colleagues' absences. The most vocal about it was Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., they said. In a statement, Vice President-elect Vance said, "As a co-chairman of the transition, it’s vital that I’m focused on making sure President Trump’s government is fully staffed with people who support his America First agenda and will be ready to hit the ground running on January 20th." "However, it’s also important to me to do everything in my power to block more radical judges from getting confirmed. So while it may be outside of the norm for an incoming VP to take Senate votes in the lame duck period, if my colleagues here in the Senate tell me that we have a real chance of beating one of these nominees, I’ll move heaven and earth to be there for the vote," he added. SENATE SHOWDOWN: GOP SECURES DEAL WITH SCHUMER TO SAVE COVETED APPELLATE JUDGES FOR TRUMP In a separate statement, Brian Hughes, Trump-Vance Transition spokesman said, "We cannot allow Chuck Schumer to play games with the transition’s ability to staff the incoming administration. Under no circumstances should we allow radical left judges to be jammed through the Senate at the 11th hour, but the Vice President-elect is needed for the transition to continue working ahead of schedule." Vance is notably the first senator in over a century to vote on a judicial nomination after being elected to be vice president. The vice president-elect was at the Capitol during the latter part of the week facilitating meetings between senators and Trump selections for key administration posts. Vance was in attendance for pivotal votes on Wednesday, while some Republicans were still absent. A spokesperson for Daines pointed Fox News Digital to an X post from the senator, in which he detailed travel issues he ran into on his way to Washington, D.C. "Runway closed due to ice, then prolonged de-icing, then a medical emergency...then Delta flight attendants timed out. Landed DC at 10 pm and voting until ~ midnight," he said. Vance said he would ‘move heaven and earth’ to be at crucial votes. (Stephen Maturen/Getty Images) Daines' office said he went immediately to the Senate floor to vote once he finally landed in the capital. The offices of Braun, Hagerty and Rubio did not provide comment to Fox News Digital in time for publication. Rubio was recently selected by Trump to be his nominee for Secretary of State. While the circuit court confirmation was the most important vote that GOP absences helped to advance, it wasn't the only case of it happening this week. Braun, Hagerty, Vance, Rubio and Sens. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., and Ted Cruz, R-Texas were absent for a vote on a district court nominee on Tuesday that was ultimately confirmed, despite Manchin opposing and Democrats not otherwise having enough votes. Cruz was in Texas on the day of the vote with Trump and billionaire Elon Musk for the launch of a SpaceX rocket. The senator is the soon-to-be chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation and told reporters this week that space legislation "will be a significantly higher priority of the full committee." DEMOCRAT TAMMY BALDWIN DETAILS RECIPE FOR RUNNING IN A SWING STATE AFTER VICTORY IN TRUMP-WON WISCONSIN He cited his trip to the launch, saying, "My number-one priority is jobs. And commercial space generates tens of thousands of jobs across Texas and across the country." Cramer's office did not provide comment in time for publication. On Wednesday, both Cruz and Braun missed another district judge confirmation that Manchin opposed, handing Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Biden another accomplishment. Braun further missed another Wednesday vote on a district judge that was opposed by outgoing Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., allowing the nominee to be confirmed. Braun was elected to be Indiana's next governor. (Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images) On Wednesday, Tillis spoke on the Senate floor on the subject. "Schumer's trying to ram through Biden's liberal judicial nominees. We can block some of them, but it requires ALL GOP senators to be here. VP-elect [Vance] is a busy man right now, but he's still here on the Senate floor holding the line, and so should all of our GOP colleagues," he wrote on X. The outgoing Indiana senator returned on Wednesday evening before Republicans managed to make a deal with Schumer on further judicial confirmation votes, securing four vacancies on valuable circuit courts for Trump in exchange for allowing votes on a number of district court judges without further stalling. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP One GOP senator told Fox News Digital that Senate Minority Whip John Thune , R-S.D., who was recently elected to be the next GOP Senate leader, applied pressure to absent senators such as Vance, Rubio and Braun, which resulted in the ultimate deal with Schumer. A senior Senate Republican source familiar told Fox News Digital that Thune underscored the importance of attendance at the GOP conference, especially concerning judicial confirmation votes.

FC Twente will hope to pick up their first win of their Europa League campaign when they host Union SG in their fifth match in the competition on Thursday at De Grolsch Veste. The Dutch side are 27th in the Europa League table with three points and drew 2-2 with Nice on November 7, while their opponents drew 1-1 with Roma on the same date but are 30th in the table with two points. © Imago The hosts' game against Nice was a match of late drama given three goals were scored and both sides received one red card each in the final 30 minutes. However, the Eredivisie team will be bitterly disappointed by the draw considering they were leading 2-0 and played 20 minutes of the second half with a player advantage. Twente have drawn three of their four games in the tournament this season, with Lazio's 2-0 win on October 24 their only defeat. The Reds are currently fifth in the Dutch top flight and have 25 points from 13 outings, but boss Joseph Oosting may be disappointed by the fact his side are averaging slightly less than the 2.03 points per game they managed last term. Oosting's side are in good form having won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five games, though they have failed to achieve victory in any of their 12 most recent Europa League matches, drawing nine. The hosts have been difficult to beat at home considering they have been defeated just two times in their past 19 outings at De Grolsch Veste, but it should be noted that they have drawn five and lost one of their past nine home fixtures. © Imago As for the visitors, they are ninth in the Belgian top flight with 20 points from 15 games, though they are just two points from sixth-placed Gent, who occupy the final championship playoff spot. USG created just one big chance against Roma during their stalemate but they produced 14 shots compared to their opponents' 11 while also limiting the Italian side to just one big chance. Manager Sebastien Pocognoli will be concerned by his players' showing in the final third given they have scored one or fewer goals in eight of their last 10 games, failing to find the back of the net three times in that period. Pocognoli's side are unbeaten in their five most recent fixtures, but they have lost three, drawn three and won just one of their past seven Europa League games. USG have been poor away from home for some time, with the Belgian club triumphant in just one of their last 12 matches on the road, losing five and being held to a draw on six occasions. © Imago The hosts will be without right-back Bart van Rooij , who is suspended as a result of his red card against Nice, so expect Oosting to start a back four of Max Bruns , Gustaf Lagerbielke , Alec Van Hoorenbeeck and Anass Salah-Eddine . Winger Younes Taha is not scheduled to return from a broken leg until February next year and in his absence Daan Rots and Sayfallah Ltaief could flank striker Sam Lammers . Youri Regeer may start in an advanced midfield position behind Lammers, with Gijs Besselink and Mathias Kjolo protecting the defence in a double pivot. Union SG have a largely healthy squad, but will be unable to call upon wing-back Henok Teklab , who has been ruled out due to a broken leg. Kevin Mac Allister and Ousseynou Niang may be fielded either side of centre-backs Ross Sykes , Christian Burgess and Koki Machida . Elsewhere, wide players Alessio Castro-Montes , Guillaume Francois and Mamadou Traore are doubts, so perhaps Pocognoli will select a front two featuring Franjo Ivanovic and Mohammed Fuseini . FC Twente possible starting lineup: Tyton; Bruns, Lagerbielke, Van Hoorenbeeck, Salah-Eddine; Besselink, Kjolo; Rots, Regeer, Ltaief; Lammers Union SG possible starting lineup: Moris; Sykes, Burgess, Machida; Mac Allister, Khalaili, Vanhoutte, Sadiki, Niang; Ivanovic, Fuseini FC Twente have so far failed to impress in the Europa League, and they may struggle to hold onto a lead should they score first. While the visitors managed to earn a valuable point against Roma, they have been poor on the road this season and it would be surprising if they overcame their difficulties on Thursday.

Amaravati, Dec 24 (PTI) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday said he has accepted the training policy recommendations made by the Capacity Building Commission (CBC). The southern state inked an agreement with the CBC in August for employee training and the establishment of a global institute of good governance in Amaravati. “In a knowledge-driven economy, staying updated with the latest skills is crucial. As part of our efforts to enhance governance efficiency in Andhra Pradesh, I am pleased to announce the acceptance of the training policy recommendations by the CBC,” Naidu said in a post on X. The chief minister also noted that these recommendations will serve as the foundation for establishing the Global Institute of Good Governance (GIGG) in Amaravati to drive transformative capacity-building initiatives. He said key programmes such as Mission Karmayogi will utilise advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence for targeted skill development, guided by comprehensive skills census. According to Naidu, training will commence for critical departments such as police, revenue, municipal administration, Panchayati Raj, agriculture, education and health. “The government of Andhra Pradesh is also exploring innovative workspace solutions, including work from home models, to enhance productivity and efficiency,” the chief minister said.
