Stephen Strosnider has been named executive director of the Carroll County Arts Council, after serving as interim executive director since June. Before that, the 35-year-old New Windsor resident was the organization’s assistant director of programs and communications since October 2022. “Even during that interim position, the board was very supportive in letting me make decisions and guide us,” Strosnider said. “Now, in the full-time executor directive position, I’m very excited to lay out some more long-term plans, to get us back to the roots of our mission, where we are looking for ways to serve every citizen in the community.” The executive director should be passionate about connecting people with the arts, competent at handling grants, knowledgeable about technology, and skilled at teamwork and management, Lynn Wheeler, of New Windsor, said in June, and Strosnider has each of those traits. Wheeler was Carroll County Arts Council board of directors’ president at the time. “I will bring a great energy to the building, to our efforts and to the community,” Strosnider said. “We’ve had executive directors who were fine artists and musicians, and now there’s a theater person, and I think my background in performing arts brings a lot of resilience. It brings a lot of event and logistics knowledge and experience. “I think that theater artists and performing arts practitioners have a great ability to pivot and to assess current situations, and make executive decisions that are for the best interest of the whole. In theater and in performing arts, it is collaborative, it is a community, and the goal of the end product is community-based.” Lynne Griffith, the art council’s previous executive director, left the organization after two-and-a-half years, according to a June 12 news release. Wheeler said the board of directors and Griffith, “mutually agreed that we were going to pursue another direction.” Strosnider and Wheeler agreed that Griffith would be remembered for ushering in an era of more diverse programming while leading the Arts Council, including the inception of . Strosnider said he was considered for the role as part of the arts council’s internal candidate search. Prior to joining the arts council, Strosnider worked as a technical director and theater facilities coordinator at McDaniel College, Glenelg Country School and Carroll Community College. Throughout his career in education, he has taught courses in stagecraft, acting, and civil engineering and architecture. He also brings experience in acting and directing. Strosnider grew up in Sykesville and Keymar, and discovered his love for the arts as a young actor at Francis Scott Key High School. The Carroll Countian earned a bachelor’s of fine arts in acting from Shenandoah University, which he said prepared him well for his career. “We were trained in stage management, we were trained in bookkeeping and finances, we were trained in backstage,” Stosnider said. “I was able to learn the ropes in every possible career, and not just in a superficial way, but it was extremely hands-on. Without a doubt, those four years were instrumental in my being able to pursue things.” As the assistant director, Strosnider helped use technology to improve operations. In his role as interim executive director, Stosnider said he learned a lot about the council and its storied history, as well as hiring new staff and introducing a plan to close the arts center most days in January. A part-time program assistant and a part-time administrative assistant have been added, Strosnider said. Within the next six months, the arts council plans to hire a full-time visual arts professional and a full-time operations professional. The arts center will also be closed most days in January, Strosnider said, so staff can get on the same page about responsibilities and goals. The center will remain open on Fridays in January, which coincides with the council’s documentary series, before opening full-tilt with a Feb. 1 concert. January is always the council’s slowest month, Stosnider added. “We can regroup,” Strosnider said, “and we can look at roles and responsibilities, which is a very exciting thing. The most productive companies are the folks that know exactly what they’re supposed to be doing, where they can grow, and where they can look for for more opportunities, so that’s something that we’re very excited about. The adage for a lot of organizations is, ‘You’re putting the plane together while it’s in the air,’ so we all looked at each other and went, ‘You know what? Let’s just land the plane. Is there any reason why we can’t?’ So, we’re going to do it.” The director said he aims to maintain and strengthen ties with Carroll County Public Schools, Common Ground on the Hill, Carroll County’s Chamber of Commerce, municipal governments in Carroll County and the Greater Baltimore Committee. The council partners with the school system to bring arts-related programing to schools or bring students to events. Partnering with Common Ground on the Hill helps the council attract more high-profile acts and artists. “We have partnerships to bring in the big names and the big entertainment,” Stosnider said, “but we also need to find those places to serve the culture and the heritage that we have right here at home. Having that nice balance is going to, I think, continue to solidify why the Arts Council is so important for the community.” The council has a symbiotic relationship with county tourism, Strosnider said, as improving the quality of life in Carroll will attract more residents, which will result in more funds for the arts council. Improving quality of life by enhancing access to the arts is always worthwhile, he added. Strosnider is participating in the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Carroll program this year. The arts council’s mission is supporting artistic education and expression, based in Westminster’s Carroll Arts Center, at 91 W. Main St., a historic building constructed as a movie theater in 1933. The nonprofit is known for hosting the popular annual and fundraising events, hosting performances at the arts center, and contributing thousands of dollars each year to support the arts in Carroll County. PEEPshow is the county’s . The arts council had a fiscal 2023 operating budget of more than $1 million and receives major funding from The Maryland State Arts Council, Carroll County Department of Recreation & Parks and the City of Westminster, according to Strosnider. In the coming years, the organization will celebrate the 90th anniversary of t , the 60th anniversary of the Carroll County Arts Council and the 30th anniversary of Westminster’s ownership of the arts center. “You don’t need to be a fine arts person to enjoy our galleries, and you don’t need to be a musical theater kid to come and enjoy a performance in the theater,” Strosnider said. “Our goal is to curate and provide multiple, numerous and a broad spectrum of arts opportunities so that people can come and see what they love, or come and learn to love something new. That’s where we’re going to move forward with the goal, to go back to celebrating the local talent that we have. “Carroll County is teeming with a vibrant and talented arts community, and I interpret our mission to be celebrating that. It’s our goal to celebrate our own.”US coach Emma Hayes admits to anthem uncertainty ahead of England stalemateHappening now: Nigeria scores first ever goal against Francefortune ox bet 。

Cowboys shutting down CeeDee Lamb with 2 games to go over receiver's shoulder issue

AP News Summary at 3:54 a.m. EST

ET Year-end Special Reads Corporate Kalesh: Top family disputes of India Inc in 2024 The world of business lost these eminent people in 2024 Fast, faster, fastest: How 2024 put more speed into your shopping Former President Bill Clinton and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., don't agree on much. Yet, recently the ideological adversaries found some common ground on a political question that has quietly endured over nearly two decades. Yes, a woman can win the White House, they agree. But she's probably going to be conservative, NYT News Service reported. "Are there women out there, governors, Republican, Democrat, that can be the next president of the United States? Absolutely," Graham said in an interview on Capitol Hill this month. "If you have a Republican female nominee, they would have a good shot of being the first woman president." A few days earlier and several hundred miles north, Clinton -- whose wife tried and failed twice to win the White House -- made a similar argument, as per a report on NYT News Service .

"But I think a woman can be elected president. I do." Their similar predictions are the latest in a conversation that has frustrated and foiled two generations of female candidates. For Democrats still scarred by Hillary Clinton 's loss to Donald Trump in 2016, Vice President Kamala Harris ' defeat at the hands of the same man in November has only deepened anxieties over gender bias and prompted a fresh round of debate over the electability of women to the nation's highest office. For decades, advocates for female political leaders argued that if more women ran for president, their presence in American politics would become normalized and one would eventually win the White House. Since Clinton's first attempt to break what she called "that highest, hardest glass ceiling" in 2008, nine other women have vied for a major party's nomination. Those candidates have been conservative and liberal, racially diverse, and from big cities, small towns and across the country. Some campaigned on an economic message, others focused on social issues. Only two -- Clinton and Harris, both Democrats -- captured their party's nomination. As they process the second defeat of a female nominee, Democrats are divided over the question of how much Harris' gender actually contributed to her loss, making it hard to divine what exactly that could mean for their party in 2028. Two weeks before Election Day, Harris openly dismissed concerns that sexism could hurt her chances, saying in an interview with NBC News that the country was "absolutely" ready to elect a female president.

As Donald Trump prepares to fulfill a lengthy list of campaign promises, the president-elect's vow to ensure that all remaining Bitcoin is "made in the USA" may prove to be one of the most challenging to keep. Trump made the pledge in a post on his Truth Social account in June after meeting at Mar-a-Lago with a group of executives from crypto miners, the companies whose massive, high-tech data centers do the work that facilitates transactions on the blockchain in exchange for compensation paid in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. The gathering was a key juncture in Trump's transformation from a crypto skeptic to one of the industry's strongest allies. "It is a Trump-like comment but it is definitely not in reality," said Ethan Vera, chief operating officer at Seattle-based Luxor Technology, which provides software and services to miners. While seen widely as a symbolic pledge of support, it's near impossible in practice since blockchains are decentralised networks in which no one controls or can be banned from participating in the process. On a practical basis, the sector is becoming increasingly competitive as large-scale operations pop up across the world to get a slice of the tens of billions of dollars in revenue generated each year by the industry. Crypto Tracker TOP COIN SETS Web3 Tracker 15.95% Buy DeFi Tracker 12.77% Buy AI Tracker 12.07% Buy Crypto Blue Chip - 5 5.42% Buy BTC 50 :: ETH 50 4.99% Buy TOP COINS (₹) Tether 86 ( 0.37% ) Buy BNB 58,813 ( -1.79% ) Buy Bitcoin 8,190,326 ( -3.15% ) Buy Ethereum 284,753 ( -4.45% ) Buy XRP 184 ( -5.9% ) Buy Russian oligarchs, Dubai royal families and Chinese businessmen in Africa are some of the freshest competitors. Deep pockets and access to vast amounts of power are spurring them to join in on the lucrative but energy-intensive process. About 95% of the 21 million Bitcoin that will ever be created have already been minted, though the hard cap on production isn't expected to be met for about 100 years. Did you Know? The world of cryptocurrencies is very dynamic. Prices can go up or down in a matter of seconds. Thus, having reliable answers to such questions is crucial for investors. View Details » The Bitcoin mining sector in the US has morphed into a multi-billion dollar industry over the last several years as the token saw exponential increases in prices. However, the total computing power generated from US-based miners is well below 50% and it is impossible to power the entire network by domestic companies, according to industry analysts.

They have more specific information on mining locations through their software that aggregates computing power to increase chances for miners to get Bitcoin rewards. US miners such as CleanSpark and Riot Platforms were quick to support Trump, banking on the former-president to ease scrutiny on the environmental impact of the high-energy use process, curb competition from overseas and to roll back what they view as restrictive guidelines under the Biden administration. Trump's support of crypto helped to generate about $135 million in campaign contributions during the last election cycle, the most by any one industry. Despite rapid expansion in the US and the latest bull run in the crypto market, economic sanctions by the US and rampant inflation in some emerging economies have spurred overseas miners to ramp up their operations even more. "There is huge growth coming up in a few different markets," said Taras Kulyk, chief executive of Synteq Digital, which is one of the largest brokers for specialized computers for Bitcoin mining.

The company's iSARTM (intelligent Search and Rescue) has been honored with the prestigious CES Innovation Award in the "Smart Cities" category. At CES, SOLVIT System will showcase its groundbreaking technology to dramatically reduce search areas for individuals lost in radio shadow zones. Addressing the Challenges of Rescue Dead Zones Mobile communication shadow areas, often called "rescue dead zones" in current E911 services, pose significant challenges for locating missing individuals due to the absence of technology capable of identifying or narrowing these shadow zones. Wide-area searches without actionable clues often result in unsuccessful rescue attempts despite substantial investments of time and resources. Powered by advanced algorithms, the SOLVIT-iSARTM system reduces the search area to as little as 1/25 the size required by traditional methods. Cutting-edge technology for Swift and Accurate Rescues At CES, SOLVIT System will demonstrate iSARTM's functionality and the innovative algorithms behind its success. The solution leverages advanced mobile communication forensic technologies and intelligent inference, including: These fully automated processes enable rescue operators to complete professional-grade analyses within just 10 minutes, a significant improvement over the three hours typically required by radio forensic experts. The company will highlight its front-end applications for command-and-control centers and mobile devices. These tools enhance operational efficiency, allowing rescue teams to work quickly and effectively in the field. Proven Innovation with Global Recognition SOLVIT System's iSARTM has been celebrated for its groundbreaking contributions to public safety, improving the likelihood of rescuing individuals while ensuring the safety of rescue personnel. Before earning the CES Innovation Award, iSARTM was recognized as an "Excellent Research and Development Innovation Product" by Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy. Since its deployment in April 2024 at the Korea National Fire & Disaster Headquarters, the system has demonstrated exceptional efficiency and reliability. Motivation and Vision for the Future "We are proud to be honored with the CES Innovation Award for iSARTM that saves lives," said Yeong-Goo Kim , Founder and CEO of SOLVIT System. "Driven by our commitment to saving lives, we have applied our expertise to the search and rescue field." The company's participation in CES 2025 goes beyond showcasing its product. Mr Kim aims to connect with a wide range of people, agencies, companies, and institutions to explore opportunities for collaboration and the localization of iSARTM in different countries. He also hinted at the development of the next version of iSARTM, promising further groundbreaking innovations. He also hopes that iSARTM's CES Award will serve as a stepping-stone toward establishing legal and institutional frameworks for public access to radio resource information and time-series data. Special thanks go to KCA for providing refined radio resource information, ATDI for supplying a proven radio analysis engine, and the institutions that supported technical validation.

The U.K. and Norway, along with E.U. countries of Austria, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Finland, Ireland and Sweden, have suspended applications from Syrians after the fall of the Assad regime. While it does not necessarily mean those people will be returned to Syria, it puts those applications in limbo in a continent that saw a massive surge of Syrian migration during the 2015 European migration crisis.

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys are shutting down CeeDee Lamb with two games remaining after their 2023 All-Pro receiver spent the second half of the season dealing with a sprained right shoulder. The team said Thursday that additional exams revealed enough damage to keep Lamb off the field Sunday at Philadelphia and in the final game at home against Washington. The team said surgery was not expected to be required. Dallas was eliminated from playoff contention a few hours before last weekend's . The decision on Lamb means the Cowboys will finish the regular season with at least five former Pro Bowlers on injured reserve. Among the others are quarterback Dak Prescott, who was limited to eight games before a season-ending hamstring tear, and right guard Zack Martin. The seven-time All-Pro made it through 10 games before deciding on season-ending ankle surgery. Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence didn't playing after Week 4 because of a foot injury, and cornerback Trevon Diggs battled a variety of injuries while playing 11 games before a knee injury ended his season. Lamb initially injured his right shoulder when it hit the turf hard twice in a 27-21 loss at Atlanta on Nov. 3. He kept playing and had at least 100 yards in each of his last two games — both victories — before getting shut down. The 25-year-old Lamb sat out the entire offseason and preseason in a contract dispute after getting career highs in catches (an NFL-best 135), yards receiving (club-record 1,749) and touchdowns (12) in 2023. The holdout finally ended with a $136 million, four-year extension in late August, but neither the Cowboys nor their star receiver could get that production going again this season. Dallas (7-8) is missing the playoffs for the first time since 2020, Lamb's rookie year. Lamb finishes the season with 101 catches for 1,194 yards and six TDs.

“The air traffic control tower, the departure lounge — just a few metres from where we were — and the runway were damaged,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on the social media platform X. He added that he and UN colleagues were safe. “We will need to wait for the damage to the airport to be repaired before we can leave,” he said. UN spokesperson Stephanie Tremblay later said the injured person was with the UN Humanitarian Air Service. Our mission to negotiate the release of @UN staff detainees and to assess the health and humanitarian situation in #Yemen concluded today. We continue to call for the detainees' immediate release.

The Israeli strikes followed several days of Houthi launches setting off sirens in Israel. The Israeli military in a statement said it attacked infrastructure used by the Iran-backed Houthis at the international airport in Sanaa and ports in Hodeida, Al-Salif and Ras Qantib, along with power stations, asserting they were used to smuggle in Iranian weapons and for the entry of senior Iranian officials. Israel’s military added it had “capabilities to strike very far from Israel’s territory — precisely, powerfully, and repetitively”. The strikes, carried out over 1,000 miles from Jerusalem, came a day after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said “the Houthis, too, will learn what Hamas and Hezbollah and Assad’s regime and others learned” as his military has battled those more powerful proxies of Iran. The Houthi-controlled satellite channel al-Masirah reported multiple deaths and showed broken windows, collapsed ceilings and a bloodstained floor and vehicle. Iran’s foreign ministry condemned the strikes. The US military has also targeted the Houthis in recent days. The UN has said the targeted ports are important entry points for humanitarian aid for Yemen, the poorest Arab nation that plunged into a civil war in 2014. Over the weekend, 16 people were wounded when a Houthi missile hit a playground in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, while other missiles and drones have been shot down. Last week, Israeli jets struck Sanaa and Hodeida, killing nine people, calling it a response to previous Houthi attacks. The Houthis also have been targeting shipping on the Red Sea corridor in what it says is an act of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The UN Security Council has an emergency meeting on Monday in response to an Israeli request that it condemn the Houthi attacks and Iran for supplying them with weapons.None

SOLVIT System Wins CES 2025 Innovation Award, Illuminating Paths to Save Lives in Radio Shadow AreasFORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — TCU leading scorer Frankie Collins will miss the rest of the season because of a broken bone in his left foot, the school said Friday. The 6-foot-2 senior guard, in his first season at TCU after spending the past two at Arizona State, is scheduled to have surgery Tuesday in Dallas. Collins leads the Horned Frogs (5-4) with 11.2 points and 4.4 assists per game. He also averages 4.4 rebounds per game. TCU said Collins broke his foot in the first half of its 83-74 loss to Vanderbilt last Sunday. He still played 35 minutes, finishing with six points and seven assists. Collins played 31 games as a freshman for Michigan's NCAA Sweet 16 team in 2021-22 before transferring to Arizona State. He started all 32 games last season for the Sun Devils, averaging 13.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. He could potentially get another college season through a medical redshirt. Arizona State is in its first Big 12 season. It will host TCU on Feb. 15.
