9 movie scenes I couldn't stop thinking about in 2024

All the hard work the Vikings put in on Sunday afternoon at Soldier Field almost fell by the wayside after they failed to recover an onside kick in the final minute. That paved the way for Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos to send the game into overtime with a 48-yard field goal as time expired. ADVERTISEMENT As proud as head coach Kevin O’Connell was that the Vikings still managed to escape with a 30-27 overtime win, he also was irked that lack of execution on the onside kick nearly cost them. What went wrong? Though it looked like nothing more than a fluky bounce, it was actually a misread by tight end Johnny Mundt that resulted in the ball hitting him. Asked about the particular play, special teams coordinator Matt Daniels said as soon as Mundt realized it was going to be a watermelon kick, he should’ve attacked the ball rather than engaged in a block. “He’s got to have some awareness right there,” Daniels said. “He didn’t see where the ball was at.” The use of the watermelon kick has become much more common across the NFL over the past few seasons. It’s executed by placing the ball on its side and kicking the point to create a spinning motion. The hope is to create enough spin with the watermelon kick that the ball travels the required 10 yards. The only issue? The rules say the kicking team can’t touch any member of the receiving team on an onside kick until the ball crosses 10 yards. ADVERTISEMENT That’s why Daniels has stressed to his players the importance of attacking the ball in those situations. “That’s the No. 1 thing,” Daniels said. “As soon as we see it’s a watermelon kick, we are going to go get the ball.” After suffering a hamstring injury over the weekend, linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. has been placed on injured reserve. As a result, he will have to miss at least the next month, with the Vikings hoping he can be ready to return by the time the playoffs roll around. It’s a tough blow for the Vikings heading into the home stretch as Pace has developed into a key contributor on defense. As a way to add some depth amid the loss, the Vikings signed linebacker Jamin Davis to their active roster, poaching him from the Green Bay Packers, who had signed him to their practice squad. There might be some untapped potential in Davis considering the Washington Commanders selected him in the first round of the 2021 draft. He has totaled 282 tackles, seven sacks, an interception and a pair of forced fumbles across 50 NFL games. Additionally, the Vikings also activated edge rusher Gabe Murphy from injured reserve. ADVERTISEMENT The benefit of having veteran left tackle David Quessenberry on the roster is that he has proven capable of going into a game on short notice. After stepping up last month when star left tackle Christian Darrisaw went down with a knee injury, Quessenberry had his number called over the weekend when veteran left tackle Cam Robinson left the game with a foot injury. Though there were some ups and downs for Quessenberry in the game, his presence allowed the Vikings to continue to run their offense. “I thought he came in and played really well,” offensive coordinator Wes Phillips said. “The left side really wasn’t an issue with him in there. We weren’t thinking like, ‘Oh god. We’ve got to get chips over there. We’ve got to try to formation these things where we can help him out every play.’ We felt pretty comfortable with him felling in and playing that role.” After being cut by the Vikings over the weekend, cornerback Akayleb Evans was claimed off waivers by the Carolina Panthers. It will be a fresh start for Evans as he looks to get his career back on track. Though he started 15 games for the Vikings last season, Evans barely played at all on defense this season. He was buried on the depth chart behind veteran cornerbacks Stephon Gilmore, Byron Murphy Jr., and Shaq Griffin. Why didn’t it work out for Evans? ADVERTISEMENT “Sometimes it becomes a numbers situation,” defensive coordinator Brian Flores said. “He’s a talented player who has a place in this league. I wish him all the best in Carolina. He’s going to do a great job for them.” ______________________________________________________ This story was written by one of our partner news agencies.

(the " Company " or " ONGold ") is pleased to announce it has closed its oversubscribed previously announced non-brokered flow-through private placement offering raising aggregate gross proceeds of $3,250,995 (the " Offering "). Under the Offering, the Company has issued a total of 5,001,532 common shares of the Company that qualify as "flow-through shares" for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each a " FT Share ") at a price of $0.65 per FT Share. The Company will use the gross proceeds from the Offering for expenditures which qualify as Canadian Exploration Expenses, within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada), to advance exploration on its mining properties in Manitoba and Ontario. In connection with the Offering, the Company has paid finder's fees in cash equal to 6% of the gross proceeds raised, and issue Warrants equal to 6% of the total number of FT Shares sold, to qualified non-related parties to the Company, in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the " Exchange "). All securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a hold period expiring 4 months and 1 day after issuance, in accordance with the rules and policies of the Exchange and applicable Canadian securities laws. About ONGold Resources Ltd. ONGold Resources Ltd. (formerly 1348515 B.C. Ltd.) is a reporting issuer in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. ONGold owns significant exploration assets in Northern Ontario, highlighted by the district-scale TPK Project and October Gold Project. These projects represent a strategic footprint in one of Canada's most prolific gold-producing regions. ONGold recently acquired 100% interests in both the Monument Bay Gold Project (" Monument Bay ") and the Domain Project (" Domain ", and together the " Projects "), both located in Manitoba, Canada, from a wholly-owned subsidiary of Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (" Agnico Eagle ") (TSX: AEM) (NYSE: AEM) in the case of Monument Bay, and Agnico Eagle and Capella Minerals Ltd. (" Capella ") (TSXV: CMIL), in the case of Domain. With its extensive technical expertise, strong commitment to social acceptability, mindful Indigenous engagement and partnerships, in addition to a proven track record of responsible exploration, ONGold's team is uniquely positioned to unlock the full potential of Monument Bay and Domain. For further details, please see the Company's news release dated December 23, 2024. Monument Bay & Domain Monument Bay is located in northeastern Manitoba, near the Ontario-Manitoba border, and represents a district-scale exploration opportunity with significant gold and tungsten mineralization over a 40 km strike length. Monument Bay is an advanced stage exploration asset with over 232,000 metres drilled in more than 800 diamond core holes, while still having substantial exploration upside both within the known deposits and along underexplored satellite zones. Monument Bay has had numerous mineral resources estimates completed by various Qualified Persons on behalf of various operators, which are no longer current under NI 43-101 but will be used by ONGold to focus exploration efforts and form the basis of future resource estimates to be prepared in accordance with NI 43-101. The proposed acquisition of Monument Bay will strengthen ONGold's portfolio, provide a camp to explore ONGold's nearby Rapson Bay properties and complement the Company's broader exploration footprint in Northern Ontario. A historical mineral resource estimate from 2017 identified 2,300,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 1.24 g/t in the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources categories, and an additional 720,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 0.92 g/t in the Inferred Mineral Resources category. ONGold entered into separate asset purchase agreements for Monument Bay (the " MB Agreement ") and Domain (the " Domain Agreement ", together with the MB Agreement, the " Agreements ") on November 25, 2024. Under the terms of the Agreements, ONGold will acquire the Monument Bay and Domain Projects for initial aggregate consideration consisting of $250,000 in cash, of which $100,00 is payable under the MB Agreement and $150,000 payable under the Domain Agreement, and 8.7 million ONGold common shares valued at approximately $4.2 million at a $0.485 ONAU share price, payable under the MB Agreement, resulting in Agnico Eagle holding a 15% equity stake in the Company. In addition, Agnico Eagle will be entitled to up to $21.5 million in contingent milestone-based payments under the MB Agreement while Agnico Eagle and Capella will together be entitled to $0.5 million in contingent milestone-based payments under the Domain Agreement. Closing of the acquisition of Monument Bay and Domain took place on December 20, 2024. The transactions pursuant to the Agreements are an important step in advancing ONGold's strategy of becoming a leading junior explorer in the prolific Stull Lake Greenstone belt of Northern Canada. TPK The TPK Project, known for its extensive gold mineralization, covers 47,976 of hectares in a highly favourable geological setting, and has shown promising exploration results from historical drilling and recent surveys. The project area is situated in a region renowned for its mineral potential. October Gold Similarly, the October Gold Project, consisting of 1,208 claims covering an area of 271km2, holds substantial promise with its favorable geological setting for large-scale gold deposits and is located approximately 35 km along strike from the Cote Lake Mine.

We Wish you a Merry Holiday season – Community Arts Sponsorships & Partnerships at InkLinkNews. Symphony New Hampshire’s collaboration with InkLInkNews and especially the Arts and Culture coverage has been a joy for all involved. From our ability to highlight individual musicians to our coverage of concerts, we have increased awareness of professional symphonic performance in New Hampshire. This relationship has also created opportunities for young people across all of New Hampshire to participate in programming that might not otherwise have been possible. The creation of the NH Concerto was an idea that began with the Symphony and amplified through a season’s long series of interviews with student participants from Keene , Dartmouth , Plymouth and UNH . Wes Coffin , A Maine native attending UNH, received coverage back at his hometown newspaper. Kyle Cook found his friends and ours mingling online during his senior recital this year. Each received more positive and expanded visibility for themselves and their school’s programs than would otherwise have happened. The digital connection and reach of InkLink has made a difference, ongoing. Curated Digital Connection as a mainstay, spreads valuable resume material, improves internet search results, and creates more viable digital imprints for the future. All of this happened because Symphony New Hampshire’s mission of education and student opportunity aligned well with the community and solutions focused journalism driven here at InkLinkNews, Arts, and Culture. Symphony NH’s support of our Performing Arts Partnership has also expanded the InkLink’s Inkubator program. Publisher Carol Robidoux’s foresight launched it years ago and recently, one of her first generation “graduates,” Bob Costa, wrote in supporting the incubator: “Carol Robidoux’s lifelong commitment to journalism, education, and the development of young people has shaped so many careers, including my own. Her founding of a youth section in my hometown newspaper gave me my start, way back when I was a teenager, and I’m eternally grateful for her selfless efforts. I doubt I’d be writing today if I didn’t have that chance. ” – Robert Costa, # 1 New York Times bestselling co-author of ‘Peril’ with Bob Woodward. Today’s Inkubator cohort has Dan Szczesny and Uma covering rock bands and T Harmon and me collaborating on orchestral , classical and jazz performances. If you want to join us as a mentor or have the ability to fund and help expand what we do, we’d love to hear from you! Reach out to me and let’s explore additional opportunities to strengthen our community in 2025. Deanna Hoying, Executive Director, SymphonyNH, wrote that “New Hampshire’s creative economy generated $3.4 billion in annual economic activity (the most recent data available is from 2022). This equates to 3.2% of the state’s GDP. New Hampshire’s arts and cultural organizations create jobs, attract tourists, and support other local businesses.” More than three billion dollars that stays right here in New Hampshire! This represents a large number of people participating in cultural activities that bring people and communities together. Activities that engage all ages and all friendship and family types in ways that connect, educate, and gather, rather than isolate us. InkLinkNews is grateful to the many friends and businesses that recognize the importance of this often unsung work of community building. Many thanks to Symphony NH for their leadership role that is making a difference across our state. As we enter 2025, it will be the Arts that will open new lines of communications across Geo – Political & Social boundaries, keep our communities connected and provide much needed calm. Please join us. Happy Holidays to all.Sandy Creek beats Stanton in Class D-1 championship: How it happened“Gladiator II” asks the question: Are you not moderately entertained for roughly 60% of this sequel? Truly, this is a movie dependent on managed expectations and a forgiving attitude toward its tendency to overserve. More of a thrash-and-burn schlock epic than the comparatively restrained 2000 “Gladiator,” also directed by Ridley Scott, the new one recycles a fair bit of the old one’s narrative cries for freedom while tossing in some digital sharks for the flooded Colosseum and a bout of deadly sea-battle theatrics. They really did flood the Colosseum in those days, though no historical evidence suggests shark deployment, real or digital. On the other hand (checks notes), “Gladiator II” is fiction. Screenwriter David Scarpa picks things up 16 years after “Gladiator,” which gave us the noble death of the noble warrior Maximus, shortly after slaying the ignoble emperor and returning Rome to the control of the Senate. Our new hero, Lucius (Paul Mescal), has fled Rome for Numidia, on the North African coast. The time is 200 A.D., and for the corrupt, party-time twins running the empire (Joseph Quinn and Fred Hechinger), that means invasion time. Pedro Pascal takes the role of Acacius, the deeply conflicted general, sick of war and tired of taking orders from a pair of depraved ferrets. The new film winds around the old one this way: Acacius is married to Lucilla (Connie Nielsen, in a welcome return), daughter of the now-deceased emperor Aurelius and the love of the late Maximus’s life. Enslaved and dragged to Rome to gladiate, the widower Lucius vows revenge on the general whose armies killed his wife. But there are things this angry young phenom must learn, about his ancestry and his destiny. It’s the movie’s worst-kept secret, but there’s a reason he keeps seeing footage of Russell Crowe from the first movie in his fever dreams. Battle follows battle, on the field, in the arena, in the nearest river, wherever, and usually with endless splurches of computer-generated blood. “Gladiator II” essentially bumper-cars its way through the mayhem, pausing for long periods of expository scheming about overthrowing the current regime. The prince of all fixers, a wily operative with interests in both managing gladiators and stocking munitions, goes by the name Macrinus. He’s played by Denzel Washington, who at one point makes a full meal out of pronouncing the word “politics” like it’s a poisoned fig. Also, if you want a masterclass in letting your robes do a lot of your acting for you, watch what Washington does here. He’s more fun than the movie but you can’t have everything. The movie tries everything, all right, and twice. Ridley Scott marshals the chaotic action sequences well enough, though he’s undercut by frenetic cutting rhythms, with that now-familiar, slightly sped-up visual acceleration in frequent use. (Claire Simpson and Sam Restivo are the editors.) Mescal acquits himself well in his first big-budget commercial walloper of an assignment, confined though he is to a narrower range of seething resentments than Crowe’s in the first film. I left thinking about two things: the word “politics” as savored/spit out by Washington, and the innate paradox of how Scott, whose best work over the decades has been wonderful, delivers spectacle. The director and his lavishly talented design team built all the rough-hewn sets with actual tangible materials the massive budget allowed. They took care to find the right locations in Morocco and Malta. Yet when combined in post-production with scads of medium-grade digital effects work in crowd scenes and the like, never mind the sharks, the movie’s a somewhat frustrating amalgam. With an uneven script on top of it, the visual texture of “Gladiator II” grows increasingly less enveloping and atmospherically persuasive, not more. But I hung there, for some of the acting, for some of the callbacks, and for the many individual moments, or single shots, that could only have come from Ridley Scott. And in the end, yes, you too may be moderately entertained. “Gladiator II” — 2.5 stars (out of 4) MPA rating: R (for strong bloody violence) Running time: 2:28 How to watch: Premieres in theaters Nov. 21.
