O P I N I ON The recent vote of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BoMA) to yet again delay work on the new Beech Street School is disappointing at best, downright harmful at worst. The community at large depends on a lively, vigorous school system. This move will stifle our current growth and momentum as a city. I suppose though, that is what people wanted. By voting for the same people over and over again, whose only real interest in politics is personal gain, we continue as a community to elevate the worst examples of public service. People love the drama, but this isn’t an episode of reality TV—far removed from our every day life. The vote on Tuesday night has real consequences for Manchester. I’d like to remind the Board of Mayor and Aldermen of the history of a few things they cited as being reasons not to move forward with the new Beech Street School. The Manchester Board of School Committee (MBOSC) asked for a tax cap budget—we were denied. Furthermore, the BoMA took $4.2 million out and told us to do more with less; now they want to cite funding issues with the Manchester School of Technology (MST) building projects as evidence of the MBOSC and the School District’s “inability” to manage our finances. The BoMA denied the sale of two of those plots of land from the MST building project stating they wanted to help MST “find a way” to retain them for the benefit of the students, yet have fallen short (see BoMA Committee on Lands and Building minutes from March 21, 2023). MST came with their own solution to fund the building project, were denied, and now the BoMA is wondering why it can’t move forward? Why are we sitting on potential houses that could be built and sold to benefit the city and our education system? Because the BoMA doesn’t want to fund education at even a base level. They want to enfold the School District and the MBOSC as a city department, bringing it under their full control. Aldermen have made it no secret that they would prefer the MBOSC not exist. However, we must persist. The BoMA believes they are in a position to refute professional architects, developers, and contractors, having no experience themselves, who say it is in our community’s best interests financially to build a new Beech Street School. At the MBOSC, we value the education and experience those professionals bring. We listen, we ask questions, and we discuss (pragmatically) how to move forward—making compromises on wish list items recognizing that the project in its totality is more important than the desire of one committee member’s over another’s. As for transparency, let’s not forget the combined (public) BoMA and MBOSC meeting on March 4 th —where the BoMA were all afforded the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers about the Long Term Facilities Projects. SMMA gave a full presentation on both Phases 1 and 2, answering questions about how cost differentials between renovations and new builds function. We have nothing to hide. It’s all on the School District’s website and in the meeting minutes posted on the City’s website. It’s clear though, that the BoMA is fragmented by partisan politics—even though “alderman” is supposed to be a nonpartisan position. Tuesday’s vote was a clear representation of this issue. Mayor Ruais cast the tie breaking vote—with GOP/conservative members voting in opposition to the land transfer and Democratic members supporting the measure. There is no compromise with them, yet we continue to vote the same people into office year after year and wonder why so little seems to get done? With such a dysfunctional BoMA, MBOSC must continue to exist. We are a functioning body that respects one another and respects the trust the community has placed in us to ensure an effective and successful school district. If the School District and the MBOSC were to be folded into a city department, the chaos of the BoMA would only further infect the city. Just look at the damage they’ve done by their continuous attempts to sabotage the progress the MBOSC has made on behalf of the city. Look at the BoMA’s inability to own any of it. The BoMA slashed the budget and is now parading a recent $6.5 million supplemental appropriation from last year’s Free & Reduced Lunch enrollments as if they are somehow being extra generous this year—never mind those funds come the State (see the packet from 10/30/24 BoMA meeting). They denied the sale of two plots of land making false promises of help to MST, and now the BoMA has decided they are construction experts—led by a man who is a personal injury attorney. Look at us and look at them. Don’t fall for it. They aren’t effective. They want you to think they are, though. They act as if they are saving you money by slashing our education budget, when, in the long run, we will suffer more as a community if we don’t invest now. They simultaneously demand more of a system that has been historically, systematically, and unconstitutionally underfunded—all to appear as if they “care.” All to get your vote again in November 2025. At the end of the show, it’s all smoke and mirrors. Don’t be fooled. Jessica Spillers is the Manchester Board of School Committee Member for Ward 8 Beg to differ? Agree to disagree? Comment below.

S.Sudan's Kiir holds urgent talks over shootout at ex-spy chief's homeBOISE, Idaho (AP) — Freshman wide receiver George Dimopoulos threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Dane Pardridge on the first play of double overtime and Jordan Hansen ended the game on a fourth-down sack to give Northern Illinois a 28-20 victory over Fresno State on Monday in the Idaho Potato Bowl. Dimopoulos, who played quarterback in high school, also converted the two-point conversion when he passed it to quarterback Josh Holst for his second completion of the season. Holst, a freshman walk-on, was making just his third start at quarterback as NIU was without starter Ethan Hampton, who entered with 1,600 yards and 12 touchdowns to go with six interceptions. Holst completed 18 of 30 passes for 182 and two touchdowns for Northern Illinois (8-5). He was also intercepted on the first play of the game. Both teams missed a 35-yard field goal in the final three minutes of regulation, including Dylan Lynch’s third miss of the game on the final play to send it to overtime. Fresno State started overtime with a touchdown when Bryson Donelson was left wide open out of the backfield to haul in a 9-yard touchdown pass. NIU needed five plays, and a defensive holding penalty, to score as Holst found Grayson Barnes for a 3-yard touchdown. Donelson finished with 15 carries for 82 yards and a touchdown for Fresno State (6-7). He added three catches for 28 yards and another score. Dual-threat quarterback Joshua Wood was 16 of 23 for 180 yards and a touchdown. Mac Dalena made six catches for 118 yards to help go over 1,000 yards for the season. Fresno State was without 14 players, including starting quarterback Mikey Keene after he transferred to Michigan. Two top-three receivers, Jalen Moss and Raylen Sharpe, also did not play as the Bulldogs were forced to use five new starters. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.

This popular holiday tune – known for its lords a-leaping and french hens – has many variations and refers to the real-life festive Christian season that celebrates the Nativity. Henry V of Shakespearean fame, hosted a feast that offered 40 different types of fish, including roast porpoise. For the month-long fast of Advent, Christians in medieval Europe would abstain from drink, meat and rich foods, denying themselves worldly comfort to seek God for life and sustenance. But beginning on Dec. 25, they would be amply rewarded for their temperance with 12 days of feasting , carousing and occasional hooliganism to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, a date unrecorded in the scripture but established by the early Church after centuries of scholarly wrangling. Contrary to popular myth, the designation of Dec. 25 was not just a lazy attempt to steal pagan fun from the Romans. Several treatises from the first millennia A.D. pinpointed the birth of Jesus to that date based on biblical inferences and calendrical math, long before writers like Dionysius Syrus suggested that Dec. 25 was chosen for more practical reasons. Syrus was among many scholars who might have believed Jan. 6 to be the true date of Jesus' birth — while they might have lost the debate, that day, known as Epiphany, came to mark the end of 12 festive days that are Christian in its foundation, and yet also bear heavy echoes from a pre-Christian past. Related When Hitler tried to redesign Christmas Read on to learn how to celebrate the Twelve Days of Christmas as people would have many centuries ago, celebrating the universality of embracing light in the dead of winter with Jesus in their minds as the pivot of the world. Intemperate feasting Medieval Christians were supposed to fast all the way until Dec. 25, which would be heralded by a candlelit Midnight Mass. The degree of ensuing decadence would depend on one's social status, but everyone, in theory, benefited from festive largesse. Princes and the high nobility took the opportunity to gorge themselves and their courtiers on heaps of food that often included exotic and rarely consumed delicacies. In 1387, Richard II of England's kitchens prepared , among other ingredients, 84 pounds of salt venison, 210 geese, 1,200 pigeons and 11,000 eggs. Thirty years later, his second cousin, Henry V of Shakespearean fame, hosted a feast that offered 40 different types of fish, including roast porpoise (which is admittedly, in our modern scientific classification, a mammal). Meanwhile, peasants and poorer urban workers could expect to receive at least 12 days' worth of relief from the usual labors, which in itself may have been as much cause to celebrate as the birth of their savior. While they would not have feasted on porpoise, a goose or pig would have been heartily consumed in a time when meat was too expensive for most people to eat regularly. Alongside meat, people ate pies, puddings and frumenty – a sweet porridge made with wheat, eggs, milk and sugar. Sometimes, the manor lord or guild masters would provide at least one meal for all of their workers, a practice perhaps emulated by the modern-day workplace pizza party . Feasting did not relent after Christmas. On Dec. 27 lay the Feast of St. John, who was said to have drank a cup of poisoned wine without succumbing. Naturally, people commemorated this miracle by imbibing copious amounts of wine, or for the lower classes, beer or cider. Throughout the Twelve Days, people shared traditional mince pies with friends and family, eating a mixture within that contained 13 ingredients representing Christ and his apostles. Those ingredients typically included dried fruits, spices, meats and most importantly, chopped mutton to remember the shepherds who paid homage to Jesus in the cradle. While some people today might enjoy a Yule Log made from sponge cake and buttercream, the modern-day dessert is derived from a largely faded tradition of burning a huge, specially selected log of wood in a hearth to mark the winter solstice and symbolize the twigs the shepherds used to keep Jesus warm. In parts of Italy where the logs were particularly revered, households would decorate their ceppo di Natale and drizzle it with spices, wine or honey before setting a blaze that would be maintained until the Twelfth Night (Jan. 5 would make 12 nights including the night of the 24th), the evening before Epiphany, the last of the Twelve Days and a feast celebrating the visit of the Magi (three kings) to Jesus. One of the most important items of an English noble's Epiphany feast was the cooked head of a giant boar , the ferocious sovereign of the forest whose slaying in a hunt represented the triumph of Christ Child over sin. Not everyone could afford a boar's head or go hunting for one, of course, so lesser burghers had to make do with pies or cakes in the shape of one while the poorest didn't bother with it at all. Upending social hierarchies While monks and guild actors performed dramatic retellings of biblical stories year-round, the plays were most frequent during Christmastide. Plays performed on the Feast of the Holy Innocents (Dec. 28) invariably commemorated the story of King Herod ordering the execution of all male children in Bethlehem under two years old. One of the oldest of these plays was the "Ordo Rachelis" ("The Play of Rachel"), which centered on the titular matriarch of the Hebrews lamenting the children's death as a representation of all the Hebrew mothers of Bethlehem. Another, the "Pageant of the Shearmen and Tailors," included the hauntingly mournful "Conventry Carol," a mother's lullaby to her doomed child. Other activities on the Feast of Innocents, varying in practice across Europe, were relatively less sedate. In Germany emerged so-called "Herod games" in which people would reportedly stage mock attacks on churches and assail bystanders with inflated animal bladders to ridicule the cruel absurdity of the Judean king. The more well-documented tradition of this day was the election of a choirboy by his peers to perform the duties of bishop, dressing in his vestments and conducting Church services in a reversal of hierarchy. (Sometimes, the boy bishop would hold "authority" from Dec. 6, Saint Nicholas' Day.) More than representing a kind of penance towards children, the tradition of the boy bishop also paid homage to the idea that God favored the poor and innocent — at the moment of deposuit potentes de sede ("he hath put down the mighty from their seat") in the liturgy, the bishop would step down, and the boy would take his place at et exaltavit humiles ("and hath exalted the humble and meek"). More voluntary role-swapping took place on the Feast of the Circumcision (Jan. 1), in which the sub-deacons, members of the lower clergy, would preside over the the day's observances and celebrate the biblical principle that “God chose what is foolish in the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise." By the 12th century, the day came to be known initially in southern France and later in other parts of Europe as the "Feast of the Fools," an occasion for much drinking, parades, dancing and disorderly merriment. The Lord of Misrule, normally a sub-deacon or a lay commoner, was appointed by lot to direct the entertainments, and like other Christmas traditions found close parallel to the Roman festival of Saturnalia , in which people enjoyed a day of drunken revelry and patricians served food to their slaves. This kind of sanctioned social revolution, of course, only marked the beginning of a year in which normal social hierarchies remained in place — but even this was too much for some rulers and church authorities, who tried by the 15th century were attempting to ban the practice with limited success. Exchanging gifts While Christmas trees were not widespread until the 16th century, churches and households sometimes hung branches of holly on their doors or apples on trees to commemorate Adam and Eve Day on Dec. 24. Wrapping gifts, placing them under trees and opening them on Christmas Day are a relatively modern invention — in early medieval times, some Christian rulers thought that the story of the three Magi bestowing gifts to their sovereign, Jesus the King of Kings, was a perfect justification to demand additional taxes and tribute from their own subjects. By the 12th century, however, the growing influence of the Church and its demands for secular rulers to abide by Christian virtues meant that gift-giving largely took the form of providing alms and food for the poor. Charity was encouraged throughout the year, and all but obliged on the Feast of St. Stephen (Dec. 26), on which the famously charitable St. Wenceslas, later immortalized in a Victorian carol , was said to have trekked through a blizzard to provide firewood for a poor man despite his own kingly status. Like other saints, he served as a lesson for good Christians to observe biblical principles that he represented in life — in this case, to love and care for the poor . The kind of gift-giving that most people are familiar with now — exchanges between friends and family — typically occurred among upper and middle class folk on New Year's Day, with a prince or lord typically receiving his own tribute in state, servants at hand to display them on sideboards after the presentation. This was an opportunity for subjects to please their lord with valuable and novel items, like the £30,000 gold cups that Cardinal Thomas Wolsey presented to Henry VIII of England almost annually, or, on at least one occasion, for a rebellious vassal to lull him into a false sense of security. Unfortunately for the Duke of Buckingham, his 1521 gift of a goblet engraved with the motto "With humble, true heart" did not do the trick, and he was executed the same year for high treason. Sometimes, Henry enjoyed receiving more personal gifts, like his daughter Lady Elizabeth's Latin translation of Queen Katherine Parr's "Prayers and Meditations." The future Queen Elizabeth I was 12 years old at the time — long past the age in which a ghastly crayon drawing of dad would suffice.

Article content The annual AWS re:Invent conference just wrapped up at the Venetian Convention and Expo Center in Las Vegas, where more than 60,000 attendees – including yours truly – traveled to learn about the latest in cloud computing and artificial intelligence, powered by Amazon Web Services. Recommended Videos Oh, in case you’re not aware, AWS is the biggest cloud computing platform in the world, with an estimated 31% market share, compared to Microsoft’s Azure at 20% and Google Cloud at 11% (The Big Three), according to Synergy Research Group, citing the latest 2024 data. While there are hundreds of separate services a business or government agency can take advantage of, “cloud computing” simply refers to relying on remote servers – complex computer systems on the internet – to store, manage, and process your information, opposed to running your operations on a local server or a personal computer. Cloud computing is cost-effective and scalable, and generally more secure than traditional computing. Now in its 13th year, AWS re:Invent features keynote announcements, training and certification opportunities, technical sessions, an exhibitor fair, and after-hours events. Yes, we geeks like to party, too. ‘Amazon Nova’ enters the AI arms race As you might expect, generative AI (gen AI) remains the primary buzzword among businesses today, as it could empower companies to do much more with less: streamlining customer service (including much smarter chatbots), generating free-to-use images and videos for a website or social media posts, writing marketing copy, analyzing sales reports, conducting market research, offers personalized production recommendations to customers, and summarizing meetings with actionable items – just to name a few applications. AWS re:Invent kicked off with Amazon CEO Andy Jassy unveiling Amazon Nova, a new and “groundbreaking” set of AI models designed to efficiently and accurately handle a variety of tasks involving text, images, and videos. For example, the AI can generate content, like a video, or understand the content inside of a video (or document or audio file). Upping the AI arms race against the likes of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Meta and Google Gemini, Amazon Nova’s upcoming “speech-to-speech” model – expected in early 2025 – will be like talking to a real human instead of text prompts that mostly power gen AI today. In fact, Jassy discussed its ambitious “any-to-any” model coming next year. “So, you’ll be able to input text, speech, images, video and output text, speech, images and video,” he said. “This is the future of how frontier models can be built and consumed.” Jassy also highlighted Nova’s affordability, claiming the models are up to 75% less expensive than competitors, which could help level the playing field for smaller organizations on tighter budgets. Wearable device is like a digital ‘guide dog’ for the blind Nova aside, the most impressive demos at AWS re:Invent were tied to accessibility. For one, .lumen is a company that makes wearable glasses that mimic the core features of a guide dog. Resembling a VR headset, the user could navigate around city streets by relying on a combination of audio cues and haptic (vibration) feedback – based on what the headset “sees” – to guide the wearer not unlike pulling their hand in a given direction as a guide dog would. “These glasses are designed to be a scalable solution to the needs of the roughly 300 million people who are visually impaired, of which 40 million are fully blind,” .lumen CEO Cornel Amariei explained to Postmedia at AWS re:Invent. “Guide dogs are a great solution, they can do amazing things, but there are only about 28,000 service dogs in the world, and so we asked ourselves, ‘How can technology do something about this?” said Amariei, who traveled from Romania to Sin City to showcase the .lumen glasses. Along with feeling the cues for obstacles and directions, the wearer hears feedback, such as “curb up” or “stairs down,” as well as info tied to street crossings, escalators, park benches, pedestrians, and more. The headset processes info up to 100 times per second. Users can give the glasses voice commands to navigate to specific places. Maps are downloaded to be used offline to preserve battery life, which is a “full day” of moderate use, or about 2.5 hours of continuous walking, Amariei said. If you need more, the user can plug in a battery pack. Amariei was excited to share the news .lumen is working on integrating public transportation features. “So, you just put a location, which may be far away, and the device will take you to the bus station, help you get onto the right bus and help you get off of it – it’s pretty incredible,” he said. The headset is coming out in Europe early next year. “As for costs, subsidies and reimbursement programs will vary by country, but we’re working to make this either free or at a very low cost,” Amariei said. ‘Sign-Speak’ leverages AI to help deaf individuals More than 430 million people worldwide are deaf or hard of hearing, and currently there are two ways to communicate with a non-deaf person: texting or through an interpreter. Texting is limited and interpreters can be cost prohibitive. Sign-Speak adds a third option. Powered by AWS, the startup has developed AI technology that recognizes American Sign Language (ASL) and translates it into spoken words – and vice versa. So, imagine you’re on a video call with someone deaf or hard of hearing and when you speak, an avatar, of sorts, will sign what you say to a deaf person in near real-time, and when they sign back, captured by a webcam, you’ll hear a human voice translate the signing. “Our goal is really making sure deaf people get access everywhere,” Sign-Speak CEO Yami Payano explained at AWS re:Invent. While the primary focus is on online video communication between employees, such as a platform like Microsoft Teams or Zoom, Payano said they’re also developing a free tool for smartphones for in-person communication. “Yes, so, just as we’re now both in the same room, we could also communicate effectively with Sign-Speak, with the phone as the virtual interpreter,” she said. “Right now, our system is equal to the latency of an interpreter, a few seconds, which deaf people are used to, since ASL and English are two completely different languages,” Payano added. Expect a 2025 rollout, including social media integration, which is also being tested. – Marc Saltzman is the host of the Tech It Out podcast and the author of the book, Apple Vision Pro For Dummies (Wiley)Key Takeaways They say great minds think alike — or maybe they land on similar ideas because they are observing the same world all around them. Every year, as my team and I curate the absolute best books of the year, we discover some themes across the 1000-plus submissions we consider. We call them themes — and they reflect a combination of the cultural zeitgeist of what's happening in business today and the hot topics on the minds of entrepreneurs and business professionals right now. Among books published this year, we read about the importance of calm and overcoming anxiety, climate solutions, putting generosity first, reevaluating the human condition in an age of AI, the power of quiet leadership and many more. Read on to see the trends we spotted and some of our thoughts on how they might be relevant for you as we head into 2025 and beyond. Related: 6 Books to Help You Keep Your New Years Resolution 1. Calming anxiety and burnout After a divisive election year, a rise in anxiety and growing awareness of mental health at work, this year, there has been a slate of books focused on what to do about burnout at work. Some advocated working less, while others focused on productivity hacks . From destressing to conquering anxiety, the idea of calm in work and life became an urgent topic, and this reality was reflected through books aiming to offer desperately needed help. 2. Math mindedness Can math explain the world? This year, math minds took center stage to offer perspectives on everything from how AI actually works to how it powers the most popular games in the world. Geography, geometry, statistics and even models of thinking got the numbers treatment as this group of books put math back into the spotlight and argued that understanding the world, making new friends and shifting our perspective all come down to better understanding math. 3. Good aging If longevity exploded in 2023, then this year offers a correction to books focusing on how we live instead of just techniques for living longer . Alongside the longevity topic, many new books this year shifted to offering insights on how to be old successfully. From loving mid-life to living a wonderous life of purpose, the new theme around aging seems to be enjoying the time you have, whether it lasts a century or less. 4. Rethinking higher education As the workplace shifts and the costs of higher education continue to spark debate, a range of books this year offered either a commentary on the higher education experience or a suggestion for a compelling alternative to the traditional four-year college experience. As more young people consider alternative paths to success, the college question is accelerating and will likely spark much more continuing dissent and conversation over the coming year and beyond. 5. Generosity first Perhaps in response to a world that feels as though it rewards toxicity, several books this year put generosity and the idea of generous leadership front and center. Fostering a friendly team dynamic, maintaining hope instead of becoming cynical and living life by giving more back were all key themes that stood out this year as authors offered a more optimistic prescription for how to live and work that reminded us about the too easily forgotten power of actually caring for one another and why doing it may be the key to prosperity and happiness. 6. Saving humanity Last year, the big theme with AI-focused books was all about designing AI in more human ways and reducing bias or other potential issues with the technology as it gains widespread adoption. This year, that trend continued, but many books took a decidedly more philosophical turn as they pondered human existence in a world ruled by AI. Will we exist or be necessary? Is our demise inevitable? As we live through a new technology age, these questions have received a renewed sense of urgency and attention as many books have helped reimagine what it will mean to be human in an increasingly automated future. Related: 5 Books That Paved My Path to Entrepreneurial Success 7. The female lens For the past several years, there has been a growing number of writers turning their attention to the previously neglected female perspective on many different topics. This year, that feminine lens focused on the history of women on Wall Street, memoirs from female trailblazers like Connie Chung, female-first branding techniques, and the exploration of women's role in creating the crossword puzzle. Along with offering a gendered correction to decades of male-centered perspectives on history, this new range of books provides the stories of previously neglected female heroines from history who deserve to be remembered. 8. Finding purpose T his year, a big topic for many books focused on finding your passion and purpose. Rather than living a rudderless life, people of all ages are seeing reminders of living a life with purpose and leaving a legacy they can be proud of. Whether it was finding your passion or avoiding despair (seasonal, political, environmental or otherwise), these hopeful books offered to help you rediscover your purpose and to live it more intentionally every day. 9. Climate solutionism In past years, many books about global warming and climate change both chronicled the problem as well as aimed to offer legislative or advocacy solutions. This year, a new perspective emerged regarding "solutionism." In other words, many books provided the prescription for us actually to fix some of the human-created global environmental problems. At least this positivity focuses on what to do next instead of dissecting and assigning blame for how we got here. 10. The citizenship imperative After a contentious election season , several books this past year aimed to help Americans rediscover their democracy and what it means to be citizens. From teaching young people about the latter to explaining topics like migration or free speech to more controversial calls to overhaul and rethink the Constitution itself, the idea that we all need to better understand and perhaps reimagine the fundamental beliefs of our government was a timely and urgent focus of many titles this past year. 11. Quiet leadership In what might seem like the ultimate irony, several counterintuitive books this year focused on the quieter side of leadership. From embracing silence to increasing cultural intelligence and focusing on the softer side of management, the conclusion seemed to be that the noisier the world gets, the more effective leaders who buck this trend and embrace their quiet side might actually be. 12. The friendship antidote A year ago, a range of books explored the loneliness epidemic and offered a dire warning of the negative health and emotional effects of isolation. This year, the antidote took the main stage in the form of encouraging people to forge and solidify more friendships. These books offered encouragement, tactics and perhaps most importantly, a reminder that having strong friendships requires investing the time to make them work.

He threw the ball down the field to Justin Jefferson. The perfectly placed throw near the sideline beat double coverage for a 39-yard touchdown that put the Vikings back in front with 3:51 remaining in a 27-24 victory over the Seahawks on Sunday. “It was a great call,” said Jefferson, who had 10 receptions for 144 yards and two scores, all season highs. “I’m not going to say too much about that play, but something went on where me and Sam were on the same page, and he found me and we went up.” The Vikings were understandably coy about the context around the go-ahead touchdown , when Darnold made a difficult on-the-run pass just over cornerback Tariq Woolen that Jefferson deftly twisted to catch next to his backside hip so he could shield the ball from late-breaking safety Julian Love. Darnold saw Love's shoulders initially shaded inside just enough to believe he couldn't retreat fast enough to prevent Jefferson from getting the ball. Jefferson also applied some improvisation to his route that Darnold clearly and properly read during the play. “I want those guys to have some freedom in those moments,” coach Kevin O'Connell said. “We do a lot of things with Justin and Sam, seeing the coverage and then with some route opportunities to get to at the line of scrimmage, and I think those guys have just gotten so comfortable with that stuff.” Darnold's long-delayed breakout performance under O'Connell has been one of the stories of the NFL this season, one that wouldn't have unfolded as neatly for the third overall pick in the 2018 draft without such synergy between him and his superstar wide receiver. If the Vikings (13-2) win their last two games, they will not only be NFC North champions for the second time in three years but also get the No. 1 seed and the lone first-round bye in the NFC for the playoffs. “Every single game we’re finding different ways to overcome adversity, overcome the different stuff defenses have thrown towards us," Jefferson said. “Sam has done a great job being a leader.” The pass rush was strong, with Andrew Van Ginkel recording two sacks and pressure leading to both interceptions of Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith. The Vikings were credited with eight hits on Smith. The Vikings converted only three of 12 third downs, their second-worst rate of the season. Theo Jackson, who saw significant playing time at safety with Harrison Smith out, had the game-sealing interception with 49 seconds left. Tight end Josh Oliver has played 47% of the snaps the last two games, his two lowest usage rates of the season. He dropped the only pass he was thrown on Sunday. The defense ought to get a big boost this week with the expected return of the 13-year veteran Smith from his first absence in two years when he was sidelined at Seattle with a foot injury. Linebacker Ivan Pace, who has missed four games on injured reserve with a hamstring strain, is also on track to be back with his return to practice. Backup defensive lineman Jalen Redmond, who didn't play against the Seahawks because of a concussion, has made progress through the protocol, O'Connell said. Backup cornerback Fabian Moreau, who was inactive at Seattle with a hip injury, will continue to be evaluated throughout the week. 13.6% — That's the third-down conversion allowance rate for the Vikings over the last two games, with Chicago and Seattle combining to go just 3 for 22. The Vikings rank second in the NFL in third-down defense at 33.7% for the season and also rank second on fourth down at 36.7%. The Vikings host Green Bay on Sunday, with the kickoff moved to the late afternoon showcase spot on Fox. If Minnesota loses to the Packers, the Lions will clinch the NFC North and the Vikings would open the playoffs on the road as the No. 5 seed at best. Even if the Lions were to lose at San Francisco on Monday night, the Vikings would need to win at Detroit on Jan. 5 to take the division title. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL
Spain's monarch pays tribute to the victims of Valencia floods in his Christmas Eve speechAdvertisement Warren Buffett said he would gift Berkshire stock worth $1.2 billion to family foundations. The investor also wrote a mini letter to shareholders running to almost 1,500 words. Buffett spoke about his estate planning, his children, his luck in life, and philanthropy. Warren Buffett surprised shareholders on Monday with a near-1,500-word letter alongside his usual Thanksgiving gift to four of his family's foundations. The famed investor and Berkshire Hathaway CEO said he would shortly convert 1,600 of his Class A shares into 2.4 million Class B shares, worth about $1.2 billion. Advertisement He pledged to distribute 1.5 million of those shares to The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation — named after his late wife — and 300,000 shares to each of his three kids' foundations : The Sherwood Foundation, The Howard G. Buffett Foundation, and NoVo Foundation. Buffett picked more trustees to share his wealth In his unexpected missive to Berkshire shareholders, Buffett said the gifts would reduce his personal stockpile to 206,363 A shares, worth $149 billion. He's now given away 56.6% of his shares since pledging 99% of them to good causes in 2006. The "Oracle of Omaha" said he and his late wife owned 508,998 A shares at the time of her death in 2004. Advertisement All else being equal, if Buffett still owned all those shares they'd be worth $367 billion, making him the world's richest man and wealthier than Elon Musk , who's worth $348 billion per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Buffett said his late wife's estate was worth about $3 billion, and 96% of that went into the pair's foundation. She bequeathed $10 million to their three children — Howard, Susie, and Peter — which was "the first large gift we had given to any of them," he said. "These bequests reflected our belief that hugely wealthy parents should leave their children enough so they can do anything but not enough that they can do nothing ," Buffett wrote. Advertisement The legendary stock picker reiterated his comments earlier this year that he now believes his kids are ready to handle the vast responsibility of distributing his Berkshire shares, which make up 99.5% of his wealth . But he acknowledged that his children, now in their late 60s and early 70s, might be unable to deploy his fortune before they die. "And tomorrow's decisions are likely to be better made by three live and well-directed brains than by a dead hand," Buffett wrote. "As such, three potential successor trustees have been designated. Each is well known to my children and makes sense to all of us. They are also somewhat younger than my children," Buffett said, adding those individuals are "on the waitlist" and he hoped his children disbursed all his assets. Advertisement The reality of philanthropy Buffett explained why the foundation that holds his wealth after he dies will require a unanimous vote for every action it takes. The investor said his children will be inundated by requests and the policy will help ensure the money is used wisely. Also, when one says "no" to a request for a gift, they can prevent follow-up asks by firmly saying their siblings would never approve it. Related stories The billionaire also offered some advice on passing down wealth. "I have one further suggestion for all parents, whether they are of modest or staggering wealth," he said. "When your children are mature, have them read your will before you sign it." Advertisement Involving them in the process will ensure they understand your logic and their post-mortem responsibilities, Buffett said. Spreading the luck In the letter — which was curt compared to Buffett's famous annual letter, which ran over 6,000 words this year and has previously exceeded 13,000 words — Buffett reflected on how lucky he was to be born in the US as a white male. He noted that his two sisters, Doris and Bertie, grew up with fewer opportunities than him. Buffett said he felt confident he'd be rich early in his life, but he never dreamed of the wealth that has become attainable in the US in recent decades. Advertisement "It has been mind-blowing — beyond the imaginations of Ford, Carnegie, Morgan or even Rockefeller," he said. "Billions became the new millions." Buffett said that "the real action from compounding takes place in the final twenty years of a lifetime. By not stepping on any banana peels, I now remain in circulation at 94 with huge sums in savings — call these units of deferred consumption — that can be passed along to others who were given a very short straw at birth." The investor said he and both his wives believed in equal opportunity at birth and didn't find conspicuous consumption to be "admirable," and he was pleased so many of his shareholders have gifted their wealth to society. Advertisement Buffett added that his children shared his and his siblings' values and while they're "comfortable financially," they're not "preoccupied by wealth. Their mother, from whom they learned these values, would be very proud of them. As am I."
“We don’t have enough time,” I had said to my daughter as she ducked into the gift store on Toronto’s Bloor Street – just to look, of course. I had a million things to do after her ballet class, and Christmas shopping with a four-year-old was not on the list. But then I saw it, and time stopped. The ceramic tree behind the counter was a near replica of the one my grandma owned – hers, one she had made with her bridge ladies decades before I was born. I could hear her calm voice and feel her soft hands guiding me away from the tree’s bright bulbs, each nestled in a pocket of painted snow, and always too hot to touch. I could feel the comfort of sitting on her lap in the wingback chair, admiring her ceramic tree in the front window of the fancy sitting room, off limits to her grandkids any other time of year. The Victorian furniture. The plush floral carpet. If I closed my eyes long enough, I could see her eyes twinkle as we spoke; I could hear her shoulder-shaking laugh. “Mama, why are you crying?” It’s nothing, I told my daughter as she bolted down another aisle. My mind has gone back to that tree, those moments with my grandma, every Christmas. The sadness I feel that she – and so many others – aren’t with us is a rite of passage into December. The missing and the magic mixed into one bittersweet, forlorn feeling that is somehow festive to me. The hurt is not just about personal loss – it’s about injustice, too. The guilt of living in abundance here, and not clinging on to life there, feels more palpable. What right do I have to be overwhelmed about a Christmas holiday, when so many children have been torn from their homes this year, never to return – or worse? How can I sigh at my husband for playing the worst Christmas music – yes, of course the people in Africa know it’s Christmas – when so many loved ones aren’t with us any more, and so many are fighting for basic survival? The melancholy and guilt and nostalgia are all wrapped up together like Christmas lights I’ll never untangle. And though I don’t want my kids to feel unhappy – in fact, I go to great lengths to ensure this is their most wonderful time of year – I do want them to feel some of these less-bright parts of Christmas: gratitude, reflection and, okay, maybe feel a bit sad for others who don’t have as much, instead of simply seeing Christmas as an opportunity to ask for more, more, more. I wish my kid would put down the toy catalogue and understand a deeper meaning of the season; is that too much to ask? “Gratitude is actually the opposite of entitlement, and you can absolutely teach your kids to know there is nuance and sadness at Christmas,” says Dona Matthews, a developmental psychologist in Toronto, and author of Imperfect Parenting – a handbook on creating kids who are, among other things, grateful and understanding of the world around them. She says parents need to be honest about why Christmas brings us all down sometimes, and name our complicated feelings out loud. If, for example, your child sees a person asking for money on the street, Matthews says, “it’s okay to tell them that person doesn’t have what he needs by way of food and shelter. We are so lucky [to] have a warm house and food to eat.” She says we can teach kids about the cruelty and injustice of the world by speaking about our good fortune in contrast with the less fortunate, and then encouraging kids – even at 4 – to try to do something about it: donate to a food bank, give money or gift cards to a person on the street, or take their too-small clothes to a shelter. “They can learn firsthand that they can make the world a better place – that’s the next step in the gratitude project,” Matthews says. Gratitude and reflection – the things I’m needing most for my kids – are also achieved, she says, by saying no and not giving them the most things at Christmas – even when we all want to make merry. “If you want Veruca Salt for a child,” she says, “just give them everything they ask for.” I won’t tell her about my daughter, hands full of knick-knacks in the toy store, begging for a bejewelled reindeer and gingerbread chapstick. I told her to put it all back, though she’s grown up in a world where materialistic overconsumption is the norm, and she understands anything she wants can theoretically arrive at her doorstep the next day. It’s no wonder, then, that she views Christmas as an endless fire hose of stuff, when all of her parents’ holiday packages keep multiplying in our entranceway. And yet, if TikTok is to be believed, “underconsumption core” is actually having a moment: that is, the Gen Z aesthetic trending on the social-media app shows carefully curated young people showing off how they live with less, buy very little and reject messaging from big corporations that you need more stuff. It’s a message millennial parents – and their kids – seemingly haven’t heard. In the U.S., holiday spending has steadily increased every year – with 2024 expected to top US$989 billion , and millennials – specifically, those with young kids – leading the spending charge. According to a Harris poll, Gen Z may be watching those “less is more” videos but their holiday spending is extraordinary: A Gen Z shopper spends an average of US$1,638 – more than double their boomer counterpart. How can anyone expect to sit with the sadness of the season when we are all consuming too much – myself (and my daughter) included? “Mama, can we go home?” A Gen Z trend that is truly making a comeback is colourful, vintage décor – or so the store clerk told me as she wrapped up my purchase, with my impatient daughter pulling at my coat. “I got us something,” I said to my daughter when we got in the door. “I thought you said no more stuff,” she wisely observed, as she climbed into my lap to unwrap our new, old, sad, wonderful tree.
