how to recharge in phlboss Aiming to leave the relegation zone, Crawley Town welcome a Rotherham United side four places higher than them in the League One table in Saturday's gameweek 17 match at the Broadfield Stadium. Rob Elliot 's side are unbeaten in three and extending that run could see them leave the bottom four places against an opponent keen to avoid three consecutive away losses. © Imago Despite a rough start since Elliot replaced Scott Lindsey in October, Crawley's results are seemingly improving entering the final weeks of 2024. The new Red Devils boss oversaw three league losses on the trot against Wycombe Wanderers (0-1), Shrewsbury Town (3-5) and Reading (1-4), but the tide seems to be turning. Although the West Sussex side were defeated by Northampton Town 3-0 to close out October, the club have notched a 3-0 success against Lincoln City and secured draws against Burton Albion (0-0), Huddersfield Town (2-2) and Bristol Rovers (0-0). Despite firing blanks in two of their last three league outings, the 21st-placed club will be pleased by securing two clean sheets in that period, taking them to three in the previous five League One games. Crawley, whose only league shutout before the recent three came against Cambridge in mid-August, have tripled that number and aim to record a fourth at Rotherham's expense. Success for the hosts will be their second home triumph in three games as hosts in the competition, potentially taking them above Leyton Orient or Wigan, who sit one point ahead in the standings. © Imago Rotherham hope to prevent that outcome this weekend, keen to avoid getting sucked into the relegation battle with November drawing to a close. While Crawley have played one game more than the Millers, both sides are separated by four points entering this weekend's round, and defeat leaves Steve Evans ' team looking over their shoulder. Even though the form table shows that both sides have notched three points apiece in the previous four games, the away side have suffered three defeats to the hosts' zero, highlighting their ongoing struggles to avoid defeat. With consecutive road losses at Leyton Orient (0-1) and Barnsley (0-2), the travelling support aim to avoid a third on the spin on Saturday, a League Two experience not suffered since January 2007 when they lost to Tranmere Rovers (1-2), Millwall (0-4) and Doncaster Rovers (2-3). © Imago Ryan Sandford (ankle) is a long-term absentee for Crawley, while Dion Conroy and Eddie Beach have been out injured since July and September, respectively. Junior Quitirna , scorer of four goals for the Red Devils this term, aims to add to that tally for the relegation-threatened hosts. Although Rotherham have no reported absentees heading into Saturday, Evans could make alterations to the side to avoid a third consecutive road reverse. He hopes to count on the game-deciding expertise of Sam Nombe and Mallik Wilks , who seek to add to their three goals on Saturday. Crawley Town possible starting lineup: Wollacott; Mullarkey, Barker, Flint; Anderson, Ibrahim, Williams, Kelly; Quitirna, Darcy; Swan Rotherham United possible starting lineup: Dawson; Rafferty, Humphreys, Jules, Bramall; Odoffin, Tiehi, Powell; Nombe, Wilks, Hungbo While Crawley hope to capitalise on Rotherham's recent losing run on their travels, the club with the third-worst home record may have to settle for a point when the Millers visit East Sussex this weekend.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. stockNetflix Stock Gets Price-Target Hikes As Shares Surge To Record HeightsThe champions crashed to a fifth straight defeat in all competitions – something not experienced by the club in more than 18 years – as they were thrashed 4-0 by Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. The loss, which was also a third in succession in the Premier League and shattered a 52-game unbeaten home run, damaged the club’s hopes of winning an unprecedented fifth title in a row. It is the worst run of Guardiola’s glittering managerial career and the City boss, who extended his contract until 2027 last week, is determined to turn the situation around. The Catalan said: “When we start to lose I say to the people I have to find a way, I have to. It’s my duty, my responsibility, to find a way to be more consistent, that our game will be better and win games. “This is what we have to do.” City have been hampered by injuries to key players in recent weeks, particularly by the absence of Ballon d’Or-winning midfielder Rodri, who has been sidelined for the remainder of the season. Problems have emerged at both ends of the field with a lack of clean sheets – just five in 19 outings this term – and a shortage of goals being scored on occasions, like Saturday, when the prolific Erling Haaland has an off-day. Guardiola said: “We don’t expect to lose important players but it’s happened and you have to find a way. We have to find other abilities. “I don’t think we didn’t create enough chances. We created a lot of chances, clear ones at 0-0, 0-1, 0-2. “Of course we want a lot of players to score but it’s happened now. “I know at the Etihad when we are there and we score goals our momentum is there, but now we are not solid enough. That is the truth. “In both sides normally we are solid but we concede the goals. Now in both sides we are not good enough. “In these situations, what do you have do to? Keep going my friends, keep going. “We have done it in the past – not in terms of results being as bad as now – but we have done it and we face the situation and move forward.”PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George has a bone bruise on his left knee and will miss two games, the team said Thursday.

Swansea boss Luke Williams thought his side were second best for the majority of the contest despite earning a 2-1 win at Derby. The Swans stunned Pride Park into silence with less than two minutes on the clock when Zan Vipotnik sent a bullet past Jacob Widell Zetterstrom before Ronald slotted home his first of the season in the 14th minute. Cyrus Christie brought Tom Barkhuizen down inside the box and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing dispatched the resulting penalty to cut the deficit in half and, despite piling on the pressure, Derby succumbed to a second home defeat of the season. Williams told a press conference: “We started the game very well, we were good up until we scored the second goal then we lost the grip on the game and I thought Derby were the better team. “The next thing for us we have to be able to maintain that level throughout the game and we weren’t able to do that to be quite honest today. “They made it difficult, reacted very well after the second goal and didn’t go under, far from it.” Swansea leapfrogged their opponents into the top half of the table with their sixth win of the season and took three points back to south Wales following two last-minute defeats by Burnley and Leeds heading into the match. Williams added: “We’ve recently conceded late goals but they’re a very resilient group and we saw it out in the end. “We’ve dominated games a lot but probably failed to score when we’ve been that dominant and tonight we managed to score the goals when we were dominant. “We scored the goals at the right time today.” Derby had been unbeaten in their last three matches coming into this one but Paul Warne put defeat down to a poor start. He said: “We conceded two and didn’t get close enough, weren’t aggressive enough, not enough body contact and looked soft, that’s my fault. “Maybe I didn’t message it properly. Sometimes it doesn’t come down to shape and tactics but I thought that was what the difference was. “Credit Swansea for the win but after the 25 mins it looked like we would score. I really enjoyed it, that’s the truth. I had 70 minutes of a team giving everything, I don’t think we’ve had that many attempts in the Championship this season. “It’s a rude awakening, last year we would’ve won that 4-2.”

She dropped her eyes from the black and white TV screen when her image appeared on it, until the Media Skills trainer told her she wouldn’t learn unless she watched herself. What she and all the group saw was a smartly dressed woman in her thirties, with diction as crisp as a snapped biscuit, articulating a new vision of what women in Ireland could be. Gemma Hussey was one of seven women, all members of the Women’s Political Association, who had decided that they needed to come to terms with the relatively new medium of television, in the 1970s. They wanted women to play a bigger part in Irish life, and they knew public persuasion would be key to achieving it. Gemma was the leader, and, while she might not have wanted to watch herself on TV — all her life she hated her own appearance — she was perceptive, confident and insightful when it came to assessing the performances of her colleagues. This was when Women’s Liberation was synonymous with bra-burning and Ireland was still in the relative dark ages: when women needed their husband’s signature in order to get a library card. On the second day of the training programme, one of the women suggested the group needed a single, achievable, highly visible goal. Like? “Like getting a female newsreader on Telefís Éireann,” said Gemma Hussey. Silence ensued as every woman present realised that the national broadcasting station — the only national broadcaster at the time — did not have a single woman in this key, even pivotal role. No woman ever looked up from the news desk to the camera when a major bulletin was about to start. That was the prerogative of guys like Charles Mitchel. Of course it was. You couldn’t have a woman in such an important position. For heaven’s sake, if you had a woman reading the news, viewers would spend so much time looking at what she was wearing, they wouldn’t remember what she had said. You couldn’t have that. It was obvious. It was a given. It was a given until Gemma Hussey decided otherwise. She had an acute sense of the symbolism involved, but no idea how to change the situation. Someone suggested the group craft a video and hold public meetings drawing attention to the issue and to the unbelievably sexist rationale behind it. Suddenly, the training took on a whiff of reality, as members of the group accepted briefs to do research, learn how to interview, develop scriptwriting skills, and nerve themselves to speak to a camera. A few weeks later, a highly professional video — for the time — had been created and the campaign started. Within a year, RTÉ had its first female TV newsreader. And because it was such a game-changer, as Gemma had foreseen, it made people, indeed, it made a whole generation of women begin to rebel against the constraints of an Ireland deeply hostile, not just to “errant” women, but also to “uppity” women. Gemma Hussey was the definition of an uppity woman, central to the development of a feminist understanding in Ireland. Inevitably, this led her into politics. Her husband Derry and herself had a firmly middle-class belief that because they were what would have been dubbed, back then, “comfortably off”, they should give something back to a society that had been good to them, and giving back meant running for election. If that sounds like posh high-mindedness, it was the opposite. Gemma Hussey won a Senate seat and in due course a Cabinet position at a time when it was considered amusing for the Taoiseach, Charlie Haughey, to come up behind her and snap her bra strap. She did it at a time when her husband was regularly and publicly sympathized with for having such an opinionated wife, a time when the notion of a balance between home life and a career was laughable. A woman who wanted to be a government minister had to do everything that the guys did — and tolerate the status quo. Women were prominent in politics because they had inherited a seat from a father or dead husband. They were treated like extras of minor annoyance, expected to place-hold but not policy-drive. Gemma challenged all that. She hated being talked over and ignored, not for her own sake but for the gender she represented. She loathed media coverage which commented raucously if she put on a few pounds. A non-believer, she refused to pretend to be otherwise — and remember, the Catholic Church had ways, in those years, of demonstrating its disapproval of agnostics and atheists. Gemma Hussey’s unpublished diaries, which she recently let me read, are a daily sequence of battles, shames, arguments and defeats. Also admiration for her boss Dr Garret FitzGerald, although Garret, despite his reliance on her, managed to literally forget her when forming one government, ending up creating a mortifying half-job for her. Throughout it all, she managed to be hospitable and generous. She helped a generation of Eastern European women grasp democracy before their states joined the EU. She wrote authoritative books about Ireland. Once, in a radio studio, years after she had left politics, a new minister of state said something on air which made it clear that she had no clue that Gemma had ever been a Government Minister or been at the centre of breakthrough advocacy for the advancement of women. The programme presenter quickly corrected the minister of state, but what was striking was how generously Gemma let her off the hook. “It’s not an insult to have the struggle forgotten,” she said gently. “It’s a triumph that this generation of women can take their rights for granted.”The Portland Trail Blazers will have center Deandre Ayton and point guard Scoot Henderson available Monday night at Indiana, but forward Jerami Grant is out. Ayton will make his first appearance since injuring his right index finger on November 8 against Memphis. His return comes at the perfect time, given that backup centers Donovon Clingan (knee) and Robert Williams III (concussion protocol) are out. Henderson missed a game with a left quad contusion and then three more with a back strain. Grant being out will likely lead to Deni Avdija returning to the starting lineup. Also out are Kris Murray (sternum) and Matisse Thybulle (ankle sprain). -- Aaron Fentress | afentress@Oregonian.com | @AaronJFentress (Twitter), @AaronJFentress (Instagram), @AaronFentress (Facebook)

Iowa offense ready to excel against New HampshireEMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE:EME) Shares Bought by Pathstone Holdings LLC

A melee broke out at midfield of Ohio Stadium after Michigan upset No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday. After the Wolverines' fourth straight win in the series, players converged at the block "O" to plant its flag. The Ohio State players were in the south end zone singing their alma mater in front of the student section. When the Buckeyes saw the Wolverines' flag, they rushed toward the 50-yard line. Social media posts showed Michigan offensive lineman Raheem Anderson carrying the flag on a long pole to midfield, where the Wolverines were met by dozens of Ohio State players and fights broke out. Buckeyes defensive end Jack Sawyer was seen ripping the flag off the pole and taking the flag as he scuffled with several people trying to recover the flag. A statement from the Ohio State Police Department read: "Following the game, officers from multiple law enforcement agencies assisted in breaking up an on-field altercation. During the scuffle, multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray. OSUPD is the lead agency for games and will continue to investigate." Michigan running back Kalel Mullings on FOX said: "For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game. It's bad for the sport, bad for college football. At the end of the day, some people got to learn how to lose, man. "You can't be fighting and stuff just because you lost the game. We had 60 minutes and four quarters to do all that fighting. Now people want to talk and fight. That's wrong. It's bad for the game. Classless, in my opinion. People got to be better." Once order was restored, officers cordoned the 50-yard line, using bicycles as barriers. Ohio State coach Ryan Day in his postgame press conference said he wasn't sure what happened. "I don't know all the details of it. But I know that these guys are looking to put a flag on our field and our guys weren't going to let that happen," he said. "I'll find out exactly what happened, but this is our field and certainly we're embarrassed at the fact we lost the game, but there's some prideful guys on our team that weren't just going to let that happen." The Big Ten has not yet released a statement on the incident. --Field Level Media

The Packers cannot be trusted, Giants are ruiners supreme and 8 things we learned in Week 17

In the wake of a successful effort to kill a year-end spending bill and replace it with more limited legislation to keep the government open, Elon Musk declared victory on X (formerly Twitter), the social media platform he owns: “Your actions turned a bill that weighed pounds into a bill that weighed ounces!” he crowed. “You are the media now. VOX POPULI VOX DEI.” The stopgap funding measure will largely delay major spending decisions until after Donald Trump’s inauguration, keep the government open through the holidays and at least temporarily delay the most indefensible spending that was crammed into the scale-tipping bill. But those who believe the indefensible spending won’t end up back in the budget are endearingly optimistic. The most interesting political takeaway from the drama is that the Republican Party now has two masters with different goals. Musk’s stated mission was to impose fiscal restraint and greater efficiency on government (though his unstated motives are a matter of speculation). Trump’s objective was to avoid the hassles of a debate over raising the government borrowing limit early in his term, freeing him to rack up more debt through spending and tax cuts. Based purely on the political result, Musk won and Trump lost. While the bill does spend less than the earlier version, it does not raise the debt ceiling. A case can be made for both goals. I think Musk is indisputably correct about the need to cut spending. And although I don’t want Trump to be able to amass more debt, fights over the borrowing limit are reckless because they put the full faith and credit of the United States in doubt. The challenge for Republican legislators is that they are caught between the agendas of two figures who are very popular on the right, and those agendas — and perhaps others — are in conflict. We’ll have to wait to see how the politics play out. In the meantime, I want to address the more philosophical problems with Musk’s position. First of all, literally weighing the value or profligacy of a piece of legislation by the ounce, as Musk proposes, is not exactly logical. The National Industrial Recovery Act — the foundational legislation of the New Deal — comes in at an economical 18 pages, but that hardly gives one a sense of its massive impact on the economy. Then there’s the idea that Musk’s minor budget victory proves his X followers are “the media now.” Huh? The standard conservative complaint about traditional national media is that they mislead the public in the service of an ideological or self-serving agenda. Musk rallied his virtual mob with a host of false claims about the bigger-spending bill. Now he is suggesting that misleading the public in the service of the agenda of the owner of a media platform is a glorious triumph. It’s certainly a triumph for if-you-can’t-beat-them-join-them hypocrisy. Lastly, Musk’s oft-repeated motto “Vox populi, vox dei” — “The voice of the people is the voice of God” — is theological nonsense. Its use by British Whigs to challenge monarchical power in the 18th century was politically defensible, but it doesn’t take a divinity degree to understand that, taken literally, the phrase argues that God is subservient to the passions and vicissitudes of public opinion. It’s very difficult to find anything in the Old or New Testament to back up that idea. If a poll were all it took to change God’s mind, Sodom and Gomorrah would have been fine, Noah wouldn’t have needed a boat, and Jesus wouldn’t have had to ask God to “forgive them, for they know not what they do.” One of the earliest mentions of the Latin phrase is found in the writings of Alcuin of York, an adviser to Charlemagne. Alcuin told the first holy Roman emperor to ignore such declarations of public godliness “since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness.” Musk started using the phrase “Vox populi, vox dei” to validate the verdicts of his own Twitter polls. When users voted to reinstate Trump’s account two years ago, Musk declared that the result he clearly wanted amounted to a divine statement. We can only guess what this says about Musk’s God complex and its compatibility with his role as Trump’s Alcuin. But my main objection to Musk’s assertion is that it’s a dangerous lie. The idea that the largest mob has God on its side is even more pernicious than the notion that legislation should be measured in pounds.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump loved to use tariffs on foreign goods during his first presidency. But their impact was barely noticeable in the overall economy, even if their aftershocks were clear in specific industries. The data show they never fully delivered on his promised factory jobs. Nor did they provoke the avalanche of inflation that critics feared. This time, though, his tariff threats might be different . The president-elect is talking about going much bigger — on a potential scale that creates more uncertainty about whether he’ll do what he says and what the consequences could be. “There’s going to be a lot more tariffs, I mean, he’s pretty clear,” said Michael Stumo, the CEO of Coalition for a Prosperous America, a group that has supported import taxes to help domestic manufacturing. The president-elect posted on social media Monday that on his first day in office he would impose 25% tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada until those countries satisfactorily stop illegal immigration and the flow of illegal drugs such as fentanyl into the United States. Those tariffs could essentially blow up the North American trade pact that Trump’s team negotiated during his initial term. But on Wednesday, Trump posted on social media that he had spoken with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and she had agreed to stop unauthorized migration across the border into the United States. Trump also posted on Monday that Chinese imports would face additional tariffs of 10% until Beijing cracks down on the production of materials used in making fentanyl. Democrats and business groups warn of risks from Trump’s tariff threats Business groups were quick to warn about rapidly escalating inflation . House Democrats put together legislation to strip a president’s ability to unilaterally apply tariffs this drastic, warning that they would likely lead to higher prices for autos, shoes, housing and groceries. Sheinbaum initially said Wednesday that her administration is already working up a list of possible retaliatory tariffs “if the situation comes to that.” Similarly, the Canadian government has also started to explore retaliatory tariffs if Trump takes action. House Democrats on Tuesday introduced a bill that would require congressional approval for a president to impose tariffs due to claims of a national emergency, a largely symbolic action given Republicans’ coming control of both the House and Senate. “This legislation would enable Congress to limit this sweeping emergency authority and put in place the necessary Congressional oversight before any president – Democrat or Republican – could indiscriminately raise costs on the American people through tariffs,” said Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash. But for Trump, tariffs are now a tested tool that seems less politically controversial even if the mandate he received in November’s election largely involved restraining inflation. The tariffs he imposed on China in his first term were continued by President Joe Biden, a Democrat who even expanded tariffs and restrictions on the world’s second largest economy. Biden administration officials looked at removing Trump’s tariffs in order to bring down inflationary pressures, only to find they were unlikely to help significantly. Tariffs were “so new and unique that it freaked everybody out in 2017,” said Stumo, but they are now seen as part of the policy toolkit by the United States and other countries. Trump’s first term tariffs had a modest impact on economy Trump imposed tariffs on solar panels and washing machines at the start of 2018, moves that might have pushed up prices in those sectors even though they also overlapped with plans to open washing machine plants in Tennessee and South Carolina. His administration also levied tariffs on steel and aluminum, including against allies. He then increased tariffs on China, leading to a trade conflict and a limited 2020 agreement that failed to produce the promised Chinese purchases of U.S. goods. Still, the dispute changed relations with China as more U.S. companies looked for alternative suppliers in other countries. Economic research also found the United States may have sacrificed some of its “soft power” as the Chinese population began to watch fewer American movies. The Federal Reserve kept inflation roughly on target, but factory construction spending never jumped in a way that suggested a lasting gain in manufacturing jobs. Separate economic research found the tariff war with China did nothing economically for the communities hurt by offshoring, but it did help Trump and Republicans in those communities politically. When Trump first became president in 2017, the federal government collected $34.6 billion in customs, duties and fees. That sum more than doubled under Trump to $70.8 billion in 2019, according to Office of Management and Budget records. While that sum might seem meaningful, it was relatively small compared with the overall economy. America’s gross domestic product is now $29.3 trillion, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The total tariffs collected in the United States would equal less than 0.3% of GDP. Trump wants much more far-reaching tariffs going forward The new tariffs being floated by Trump now are dramatically larger and there could be far more significant impacts. If Mexico, Canada, and China faced the additional tariffs proposed by Trump on all goods imported to the United States, that could be roughly equal to $266 billion in tax collections, a number that does not assume any disruptions in trade or retaliatory moves by other countries. The cost of those taxes would likely be borne by U.S. families, importers and domestic and foreign companies in the form of higher prices or lower profits. Former Biden administration officials said they worried that companies could piggyback on Trump’s tariffs — if they’re imposed — as a rationale to raise their prices. This would mirror price increases by many companies in 2022 that were made possible because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which pushed up food and energy prices and gave the companies cover to further raise their own prices. “I’m very worried about the total indiscriminate tariffs on more than China — that it gives cover to firms to jack up prices,” said Jen Harris, a former Biden White House official who is now director of the Economy and Society Initiative at the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. But what Trump didn’t really spell out is what might cause him to back down on tariffs and declare a victory. What he is creating instead with his tariff threats is a sense of uncertainty as companies and countries await the details to figure out what all of this could mean. “We know the key economic policy priorities of the incoming Trump administration, but we don’t know how or when they will be addressed,” said Greg Daco, chief U.S. economist at EY-Parthenon. __ AP writer Mark Stevenson contributed to this report from Mexico City.

For many years, Dr. Ko-Cheng Fang has dedicated himself to researching jewelry-grade synthetic jade, successfully analyzing the composition of pyroxene minerals in 2011. According to Dr. Ko-Cheng Fang, the announcement by the Myanmar government in 2021 to halt the mining of natural jade created the perfect opportunity for the development of synthetic jade. As the demand for high-quality jade increases, the supply of flawless old pit varieties of jade has become increasingly scarce, with values soaring into the millions of RMB. In response, Dr. Ko-Cheng Fang decided to develop a new product that is both competitively priced and accessible to a wider audience.
