Sikh factions rally behind Badal shooter, demand title for him AMRITSAR: Panthic organisations, not aligned with Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), have rallied to oppose the demand for excommunicating Narain Singh Chaura , who tried to assassinate SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal on December 4 at the Golden Temple . The Panthic factions met here on Wednesday to discuss Sikh sentiments, political situation in Punjab, and the honour and dignity of religious places. The group is expected to announce their next course of action on Thursday. It is learnt that Panthic functionaries have urged the acting Jathedar of Akal Takht , Bhai Dhian Singh Mand, to lead the movement and announce the conferment of "Panth Rattan" title upon Chaura, in consideration of the broader sentiments of the Sikh community. "Chaura's action largely reflects the prevailing sentiment and the deep dismay and utter disappointment felt by the people of Punjab, especially Sikhs, towards SAD," Bhai Jarnail Singh Sakhira, one of the functionaries present at the meeting, said. "Many believed SAD represented their interests, but over time, the party became more focused on safeguarding the future of a select few, promoting nepotism, while neglecting Panthic sentiments. This was evident when SAD functionaries themselves admitted to committing sins and mistakes during their tenure. People are increasingly resentful of the lenient punishments given to those responsible," Sakhira added. Meanwhile, Chaura's son, Baljinder Singh Bajwa, said his father had met Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Harjinder Singh Dhami on the day he attempted to assassinate Sukhbir. J S Randhawa, Chaura's counsel, said police have filed a petition that SGPC was not cooperating and had not yet provided CCTV footage. He said the court has sent Chaura to police remand till Dec 14. Dhami didn't respond to attempts to contact him to comment on the matter. Stay updated with the latest news on Times of India .

Despite Star Goalie Shesterkin's Strong Play, Rangers' Defense Hasn't Been Good EnoughNone
An old lady foolishly ignored by people who don’t notice her sharp, glinting eyes watching their every move? No, not Jane Marple, but Kathy Bates’s Madeline “Matty” Matlock, whose creators haven’t so much run with a key idea behind Agatha Christie’s creation as careered into town on a juggernaut, honking its horn. In Matlock (Sky Witness), a high-concept gender-swap reboot of the Eighties 1egal drama, we first meet our woman shuffling her change in a coffee shop, secreting free sweets and sugar sachets, and earwigging on a stock yuppie before conning her way into the offices of her swish old New York law firm and asking to return. Rather miraculously, she uses the intel gleaned from the coffee shop to get rehired. This, by the way, is one of a number of implausible moments in a drama where credulity feels so stretched the show might as well be made of elastic.
Meta has said it has suffered a global outage, with some users facing issues using the social media apps Instagram and Facebook, and the WhatsApp messaging service. In a statement posted on X, Meta said: “We’re aware that a technical issue is impacting some users’ ability to access our apps. We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible and apologize for any inconvenience.” Downdetector, a website which monitors issues with websites and apps, was showing large spikes of problems for people using Facebook and other Meta apps. Facebook outages were first reported at about 6pm on Wednesday, with more than 100,000 complaints registered. Instagram and WhatsApp were also facing similar complaints, with users unable to send or receive messages. The outages are unlikely to be as severe as Facebook’s 2021 outage, when a configuration error in a little-known protocol called BGP led to the company accidentally deleting its own address from the systems that allow servers to talk to each other on the internet. Although that error was spotted immediately, it took several hours for the fix to be enacted and take effect – in part because the company’s engineers could no longer gain remote access to their own servers to fix the problem; nor could they use their corporate passes to get through the electronic locks to gain physical access. However, it is not the first time this year that Meta services have been hit by worldwide outages. In March, Facebook and Instagram experienced severe issues around the world, with the services refusing login attempts and feeds stalling. Meta said in a statement on its social network, Threads, at the time: “Earlier today, a technical issue caused people to have difficulty accessing some of our services. We resolved the issue as quickly as possible and we apologise for any inconvenience.”
With the holiday season just days away and, with it, the commencement of shopping, many Americans may be wondering about what to gift to family members and friends. This is a popular time for selling and buying gold , whether it be in the form of jewelry or just simple gold bars and coins . And even though the price has been elevated for much of 2024, it can still be affordable for many in the form of fractional gold . That said, there are multiple benefits of gifting gold bars and coins, particularly during this upcoming holiday season. Below, we'll break down three big benefits buyers should be aware of currently. Start exploring your top gold options online now . 3 big benefits of gifting gold bars and coins this holiday season Not sure if gold is worth giving now? Here are three reasons why it could be a smart gift: Despite a small drop in the price at the start of November, gold has been on a steady upward trend for much of 2024, breaking numerous price records throughout the year before surpassing the $2,700 mark at the end of October. Currently priced at $2,702.94 per ounce, according to American Hartford Gold , gold is positioned to break additional records, possibly before the holidays even begin. Understanding the real potential of rising value, then, buyers would be well-served by gifting gold bars and coins today, even if they're in a smaller, more affordable size. Waiting, however, could cause the price to become prohibitive. So start your holiday gold shopping sooner rather than later. Get started with gold here today . You can invest in gold in multiple ways but gold bars and coins are one of the few tangible ways to do so. Gift receivers can hold them in their hands, inspect them and store them for safekeeping on their own. This feature is a major advantage compared to other, more opaque gold types like stocks , futures and ETFs . While you can, theoretically, gift those other gold investment types, too, only gold bars and coins can provide the same experience as other, more conventional gift types. Gold bars and coins aren't like other hot holiday gift ideas. They're ubiquitous and easy to purchase both online and in person . Big retailers like Costco and Walmart sell them in their stores and on their websites (and some even sell silver , too). So if you're worried about your ability to be able to secure this sort of gift, don't be. That said, as the holidays get closer, it's possible retailers could sell out of these items ( as Costco has in the past ). So don't wait until Christmas Eve to act, either. The bottom line There are scarce gift options this year that will come with a rising value, tangible and visible benefits and an easy ability to be purchased by shoppers. But gold bars and coins offer all of those benefits right now. So if you want to add a shiny precious metal to your shopping list this holiday season, gold may be the best one to consider.

The congressionally mandated agreement allows transition aides to work with federal agencies and access non-public information and gives a green light to government workers to talk to the transition team. But Trump has declined to sign a separate agreement with the General Services Administration that would have given his team access to secure government offices and email accounts, in part because it would require that the president-elect limit contributions to $5,000 and reveal who is donating to his transition effort. The White House agreement was supposed to have been signed by Oct. 1, according to the Presidential Transition Act, and the Biden White House had issued both public and private appeals for Trump’s team to sign on. The agreement is a critical step in ensuring an orderly transfer of power at noon on Inauguration Day, and lays the groundwork for the White House and government agencies to begin to share details on ongoing programs, operations and threats. It limits the risk that the Trump team could find itself taking control of the massive federal government without briefings and documents from the outgoing administration. As part of the agreement with the White House, Trump’s team will have to publicly disclose its ethics plan for the transition operation and make a commitment to uphold it, the White House said. Transition aides must sign statements that they have no financial positions that could pose a conflict of interest before they receive access to non-public federal information. Biden himself raised the agreement with Trump when they met in the Oval Office on Nov. 13, according to the White House, and Trump indicated that his team was working to get it signed. Trump chief of staff-designate Susie Wiles met with Biden’s chief of staff Jeff Zients at the White House on Nov. 19 and other senior officials in part to discuss remaining holdups, while lawyers for the two sides have spoken more than a half-dozen times in recent days to finalize the agreement. “Like President Biden said to the American people from the Rose Garden and directly to President-elect Trump, he is committed to an orderly transition,” said White House spokesperson Saloni Sharma. “President-elect Trump and his team will be in seat on January 20 at 12 pm – and they will immediately be responsible for a range of domestic and global challenges, foreseen and unforeseen. A smooth transition is critical to the safety and security of the American people who are counting on their leaders to be responsible and prepared.” Without the signed agreement, Biden administration officials were restricted in what they could share with the incoming team. Trump national security adviser-designate Rep. Mike Waltz met recently with Biden national security adviser Jake Sullivan, but the outgoing team was limited in what it could discuss. “We are doing everything that we can to effect a professional and an orderly transition,” White House national security spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Monday. “And we continue to urge the incoming team to take the steps that are necessary to be able to facilitate that on their end as well.” “This engagement allows our intended Cabinet nominees to begin critical preparations, including the deployment of landing teams to every department and agency, and complete the orderly transition of power,” said Wiles in a statement. The Trump transition team says it would disclose its donors to the public and would not take foreign donations. A separate agreement with the Department of Justice to coordinate background checks for vetting and security clearances is still being actively worked on and could be signed quickly now that the White House agreement is signed. The agency has teams of investigators standing by to process clearances for Trump aides and advisers once that document is signed. That would clear the way for transition aides and future administration appointees and nominees to begin accessing classified information before Trump takes office. Some Trump aides may hold active clearances from his first term in office or other government roles, but others will need new clearances to access classified data. Trump’s team on Friday formally told the GSA that they would not utilize the government office space blocks from the White House reserved for their use, or government email accounts, phones and computers during the transition. The White House said it does not agree with Trump’s decision to forgo support from the GSA, but is working on alternate ways to get Trump appointees the information they need without jeopardizing national security. Federal agencies are receiving guidance on Tuesday on how to share sensitive information with the Trump team without jeopardizing national security or non-public information. For instance, agencies may require in-person meetings and document reviews since the Trump team has declined to shift to using secure phones and computers. For unclassified information, agencies may ask Trump transition staff to attest that they are taking basic safeguards, like using two-factor authentication on their accounts.
Trump promises a 25% tariff on products from Mexico, CanadaSelling goods and services is the fundamental bedrock of the global economy. And what helps guide people on where to spend their money? Advertising. Therefore, it shouldn't come as a surprise that businesses spend enormous amounts of money on ads; according to estimates, global ad spending will surpass $1 trillion next year. The advertising industry continues to shift from printed media and broadcasted radio and television to digital formats like the Internet and streaming. Meta Platforms and Alphabet (Google's parent company) have gobbled up a chunk of the digital ads market via their social media and Internet search dominance, but there is room for others. That's where The Trade Desk ( TTD 1.85% ) comes in. The company has enjoyed prolonged success that has fueled market-beating investment returns since the stock's IPO in 2016. Want to outperform the market? You must find winning stocks, and The Trade Desk has proven itself worthy. But that's half the battle; you must pay the right price. Is The Trade Desk priced right for investors today? Here is what you need to know. You don't need to win; you only need to win enough The Trade Desk is a demand-side advertising technology company that sells programmatic ad inventory autonomously. In English, it matches advertisers to their ideal audience. For example, suppose you want to advertise tailgating equipment. The Trade Desk uses data such as demographics, Internet browser histories, etc., to show that ad to those most likely interested in tailgating equipment. The Trade Desk does this automatically and in real-time, placing ads with over 400 digital media partners, from websites to streaming services. It's important to emphasize that The Trade Desk is a small fish in a big pond. Last year, customers spent $9.6 billion on The Trade Desk's platform. That's barely one percent of global ad spending and a fraction of what Meta Platforms and Alphabet do . The catch with these big technology companies is they have all the control and leverage over their customers. Do you want to advertise on these dominant, closed-loop social media or Internet Search ecosystems? You have to play by their rules. What if a company advertising on Google Search (just an example) competes with another part of Alphabet? That could be a conflict of interest. The Trade Desk tries to be more transparent and give ad buyers more control over their data and advertising campaigns. It's more like a partnership, and it turns out that there's a market for that. The Trade Desk has been profitable since 2013 and continues to grow revenue at nearly 30%: TTD Operating Revenue (Quarterly YoY Growth) data by YCharts Will The Trade Desk ever surpass these big technology companies that dominate digital advertising? Perhaps not. But it doesn't need to; it's doing just fine in its niche. Shares have almost doubled over the past year The Trade Desk has a lot going for it right now. Revenue growth began accelerating around Q2 of last year, a recovery from an industrywide ad spending pullback following the COVID-19 pandemic. The company's better performance and the Fed's recent growth-stock-friendly interest rate cuts have fueled the stock's roughly 90% gains over the past year alone. The good news is that The Trade Desk's small size relative to the totality of global advertising means it could maintain strong growth for the foreseeable future. The company is launching a streaming TV operating software next year, which could eventually help it capture television ad spending. The bad news is that Wall Street is well aware of how good a business The Trade Desk is, and the stock price already reflects high expectations for the future. Shares currently trade at a forward P/E ratio of 75. Meanwhile, analysts estimate the company will grow earnings by an average of 25% annually over the next three to five years. Using the PEG ratio to compare the stock's valuation to its anticipated growth, the current ratio of about 3.0 is steep, even for a high-quality business like this one. Is The Trade Desk a buy now? In reality, stocks of growing, profitable companies like The Trade Desk rarely come cheap. Ideally, one would have scooped up shares back when the stock traded at 35 to 40 times earnings, which happened a few times over the past couple of years. While you can't predict stock prices, they tend to go up and down over time, so there's a good chance investors will see better buying opportunities at some point. Investors can nibble on shares to get their foot in the door, but I would probably be cautious at these high valuations. The wise move is holding onto some cash for that next buying opportunity. Until then, most investors should consider the stock a hold, not a buy.
A BCIT graduate from Richmond was awarded BCIT’s 2024 Outstanding Student Leadership award. Sally Poon, a 2023 graduate of the Computer Systems Technology program, was recognized for her leadership and community involvement during her time at BCIT. Although she wasn’t able to attend the awards ceremony on Nov. 14, Poon said she was surprised and honoured to receive the award. Poon, who grew up in Steveston, served as treasurer and director of communications for Women in Computing, a student-run club promoting the representation of women in the technology sector. This was one of her most meaningful initiatives, helping to break down barriers for women in tech. Starting off with computing in a predominantly male-dominated course at UBC was intimidating, as Poon doubted her knowledge compared to her peers. “I felt very intimidated, and I wanted to be a part of the process of demystifying this ‘oh, it can be very scary to be a woman in the field’,” said Poon. “ I think it's improved a lot now. I think just building that sense of community where people feel safe; that was very important to me.” Poon was also the co-president of the computing club, where she developed a coaching program for students and organized a hackathon event. Reaching the position of chair of the downtown campus’ student association, some of her other significant initiatives range from organizing a panel at the institute’s Tech Collider, an event space on campus, to a de-stressing event for students. “BCIT is known for very rigorous programs, because everything’s very condensed to get students ready for the working field,” said Poon. “But I think we stopped to remember to give some time for ourselves, to zoom back in... take a breather; and that can actually make us a lot more productive.” Now working as a software engineer with Okta, a San-Francisco based software development company, Poon gave some advice to those wanting to take on leadership positions – go for it and give it a try. “No one's going to shake their head at you for giving something a try,” she said. “If you are going to reach out and participate, I think it's really well worth it.” “The people that you meet along the way with the same mindset are always going to be fantastic people that you can keep in your life.” Got an opinion on this story or any others in Richmond?

KyKy Tandy scored a season-high 21 points that included a key 3-pointer in a late second-half surge as Florida Atlantic roared back to beat Oklahoma State 86-78 on Thursday in the opening round of the Charleston Classic in Charleston, S.C. Florida Atlantic (4-2) advances to play Drake in the semifinal round on Friday while the Cowboys square off against Miami in the consolation semifinal contest, also Friday. Oklahoma State led by as many as 10 points in the first half before securing a five-point advantage at halftime. The Owls surged back and moved in front with four and a half minutes to play. It was part of an 11-1 run, capped by a 3-pointer from Tandy that made it 75-68 with 2:41 remaining. Ken Evans added 14 points for Florida Atlantic, with Leland Walker hitting for 13 and Tre Carroll scoring 11. The Owls went 35-of-49 from the free throw line as the teams combined for 56 fouls in the game, 33 by Oklahoma State. Khalil Brantley led Oklahoma State (3-1) with 16 points while Robert Jennings added 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Cowboys, who hit one field goal over a 10-minute stretch of the second half while having three players foul out. The Owls were up by as many as seven points in the early minutes and by 13-10 after a layup by Carroll at the 11:32 mark of the first half. Oklahoma State leapfrogged to the front on Abou Ousmane's layup off a Brantley steal, fell behind again on a 3-pointer by Evans and then responded on a 3-pointer by Jennings to take a 17-16 lead. From there, the Cowboys stoked their advantage to double digits when Jamyron Keller canned a shot from beyond the arc with five minutes to play in the half. Florida Atlantic got a layup and a monster dunk from Matas Vokietaitis and a pair of free throws from Walker in a 6-2 run to end the half to pull within 39-34 at the break. Jennings and Ousmane tallied seven points apiece for Oklahoma State over the first 20 minutes, as the Cowboys led despite shooting just 33.3 percent from the floor in the half. Carroll and Vokietaitis scored seven points apiece to pace the Owls, who committed 11 turnovers that translated to seven points for Oklahoma State before halftime. --Field Level MediaPutin says Russia attacked Ukraine with a new missile that he claims the West can't stop
