okebet site No-confidence vote draws France into new political crisisSocial media users are misrepresenting a Vermont Supreme Court ruling , claiming that it gives schools permission to vaccinate children even if their parents do not consent. The ruling addressed a lawsuit filed by Dario and Shujen Politella against Windham Southeast School District and state officials over the mistaken vaccination of their child against COVID-19 in 2021, when he was 6 years old. A lower court had dismissed the original complaint, as well as an amended version. An appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court was filed on Nov. 19. But the ruling by Vermont's high court is not as far-reaching as some online have claimed. In reality, it concluded that anyone protected under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act, or PREP, Act is immune to state lawsuits. Here's a closer look at the facts. CLAIM: The Vermont Supreme Court ruled that schools can vaccinate children against their parents' wishes. THE FACTS: The claim stems from a July 26 ruling by the Vermont Supreme Court, which found that anyone protected by the PREP Act is immune to state lawsuits, including the officials named in the Politella's suit. The ruling does not authorize schools to vaccinate children at their discretion. According to the lawsuit, the Politella's son — referred to as L.P. — was given one dose of the Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine at a vaccination clinic held at Academy School in Brattleboro even though his father, Dario, told the school's assistant principal a few days before that his son was not to receive a vaccination. In what officials described as a mistake, L.P. was removed from class and had a “handwritten label” put on his shirt with the name and date of birth of another student, L.K., who had already been vaccinated that day. L.P. was then vaccinated. Ultimately, the Vermont Supreme Court ruled that officials involved in the case could not be sued. “We conclude that the PREP Act immunizes every defendant in this case and this fact alone is enough to dismiss the case,” the Vermont Supreme Court's ruling reads. “We conclude that when the federal PREP Act immunizes a defendant, the PREP Act bars all state-law claims against that defendant as a matter of law.” The PREP Act , enacted by Congress in 2005, authorizes the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to issue a declaration in the event of a public health emergency providing immunity from liability for activities related to medical countermeasures, such as the administration of a vaccine, except in cases of “willful misconduct" that result in “death or serious physical injury.” A declaration against COVID-19 was issued on March 17, 2020. It is set to expire on Dec. 31. Federals suits claiming willful misconduct are filed in Washington. Social media users described the Vermont Supreme Court's ruling as having consequences beyond what it actually says. “The Vermont Supreme Court has ruled that schools can force-vaccinate children for Covid against the wishes of their parents,” reads one X post that had been liked and shared approximately 16,600 times as of Tuesday. “The high court ruled on a case involving a 6-year-old boy who was forced to take a Covid mRNA injection by his school. However, his family had explicitly stated that they didn't want their child to receive the ‘vaccines.’” Other users alleged that the ruling gives schools permission to give students any vaccine without parental consent, not just ones for COVID-19. Rod Smolla, president of the Vermont Law and Graduate School and an expert on constitutional law, told The Associated Press that the ruling “merely holds that the federal statute at issue, the PREP Act, preempts state lawsuits in cases in which officials mistakenly administer a vaccination without consent.” “Nothing in the Vermont Supreme Court opinion states that school officials can vaccinate a child against the instructions of the parent,” he wrote in an email. Asked whether the claims spreading online have any merit, Ronald Ferrara, an attorney representing the Politellas, told the AP that although the ruling doesn't say schools can vaccinate students regardless of parental consent, officials could interpret it to mean that they could get away with doing so under the PREP Act, at least when it comes to COVID-19 vaccines. He explained that the U.S. Supreme Court appeal seeks to clarify whether the Vermont Supreme Court interpreted the PREP Act beyond what Congress intended. “The Politella’s fundamental liberty interest to decide whether their son should receive elective medical treatment was denied by agents of the State and School,” he wrote in an email to the AP. “The Vermont Court misconstrues the scope of PREP Act immunity (which is conditioned upon informed consent for medical treatments unapproved by FDA), to cover this denial of rights and its underlying battery.” Ferrara added that he was not aware of the claims spreading online, but that he “can understand how lay people may conflate the court's mistaken grant of immunity for misconduct as tantamount to blessing such misconduct.” John Klar, who also represents the Politellas, went a step further, telling the AP that the Vermont Supreme Court ruling means that “as a matter of law” schools can get away with vaccinating students without parental consent and that parents can only sue on the federal level if death or serious bodily injury results. — Find AP Fact Checks here: https://apnews.com/APFactCheck .

The grants program provides eligible applicants with up to $20,000 in funding to deliver quality programs, events and projects within 18 months. Council Director Community and Recreation Services Melanie Smith said the grant programs build connections and celebrate the local community with programs, events and activities that align with the Community Strategic Plan and the theme of Belonging. “Council continues to work with local community organisations to connect people and create local solutions and initiatives that enrich our neighbourhoods and create a tapestry of shared experiences and social cohesion,” she said. “On Tuesday, December 10, an afternoon tea was held at Council’s function rooms to recognise successful grant applicants of the Community Development Grant Program and Community Events and Place Activation Grant Program and provide the opportunity for recipients to engage with each other.” Central Coast Mayor Lawrie McKinna said programs help implement exciting activities that activate town centres, foreshores, lakes and open spaces for families, visitors and the wider region. “Funding from the Community Grants Program is essential for sustainable community development, which will enhance the quality of life of our residents and benefit future generations,” he said. The Community Development Grant Program received 50 applications this year, with 23 recommended for funding totalling $261,077. The Community Events and Place Activation Grant Program received 34 applications with 19 recommended for funding totalling $285,175.

Crews began clearing the area around 8 a.m. Monday. The planner for a potential housing project at the site said the owner received a permit to remove the trees in October. MAGGIE MACINTOSH / FREE PRESS FILES Crews began clearing the privately owned Lemay Forest in St. Norbert on Monday morning. “The landowner... (has) no intention of owning a wood lot. He doesn’t want to own a wood lot. It is private property and he’s removing the trees,” said John Wintrup. City council rejected a development plan for the site in September after municipal planners deemed it too big for the property. Tochal Development Group still wants to build its proposed 5,000-bed, 2,500-unit assisted-living facility on the property and has filed an appeal. The Manitoba Municipal Board will hear that appeal soon, said Wintrup. “It’s going to become Lemay Meadows. The landowner has no interest in owning a wood lot to provide an amenity for the surrounding neighbourhood. That’s not why people buy and own land,” he said. Initially, the developer asked government officials to determine if they were interested in buying the land to preserve the trees before concluding any offers fell far short of market value. The developer began chopping down trees in the forest in September, but stopped after the city issued a cease-and-desist order. At the time, city officials said a bylaw prohibited the removal of soil or vegetation from the land without a permit. Wintrup said the city granted the permit a few weeks later. He argues a desperate need for housing trumps demands to preserve the trees. “My client and I are housing advocates... And if it means removing trees to provide housing, it means removing trees,” he said. In an email, a city spokesman confirmed a permit to allow tree removal was issued on Oct. 18. “The city had previously issued a cease-and-desist order as that work was proceeding without a permit. As a result of the permit being issued, the cease-and-desist order was cancelled at that time,” said spokesman Adam Campbell. The city also expects the municipal board appeal will be heard in early 2025, he noted. Coun. Janice Lukes said the city doesn’t have a bylaw that protects trees on private land but council expects to vote on one next year. “This new tree protection bylaw can’t come soon enough... I’m fully supportive of more housing. We have to do more housing but we (also) have to find that balance between old trees and development,” said Lukes (Waverley West). The councillor noted she had urged the city to buy and preserve Lemay Forest in 2016 but the city didn’t budget money to do so. “We really need something in place to deal with this. (This developer’s) got every right to take those trees down,” said Lukes. Many residents had lobbied the three levels of government to step in to save the trees. Cat Macaulay Gauthier, a spokeswoman for the Coalition to Save Lemay Forest, said residents were surprised to see workers with chainsaws chop down more trees on Monday. “If you go outside, you can hear the large crack of massive trees coming down. It was all a surprise to everyone... This is just completely vindictive. It makes no sense,” said Macaulay Gauthier. She believes city planners were correct to find the proposal far too large for the site and had hoped trees would remain in place at least for now, since no development has been approved. “Our world, now more than ever, needs biodiverse green space for climate (mitigation)... for a growing city and all the benefits that a mature forest gives,” said Macaulay Gauthier. The city councillor whose ward includes Lemay Forest said it was disappointing to see tree-clearing resume now.

Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. “I’m concerned there’s no plan in place for development yet trees are being decimated,” said Coun. Markus Chambers (St. Norbert-Seine River). Chambers declined further comment, noting he’s been accused of bias related to the project. Wintrup said crews will continue to remove trees over the next two to four weeks, weather permitting, with the exception of some holiday breaks. joyanne.pursaga@freepress.mb.ca X: @joyanne_pursaga Joyanne is city hall reporter for the Winnipeg Free Press.

The Dutchman, who was out of work for just two weeks following his four-game spell as Manchester United interim boss, only started on Sunday so was happy to end a hectic three days in style. “It has been very busy getting to know everyone, start working together,” he said. “Everybody was involved with that and helping, it was busy, long days, but worth it. I was focused on the game and what the game needed, the subs, the half-time talk, so focused on the moment, so I am going to get myself a little beer and reflect on the last three days.” He endured a dream start as Vardy scored after just 98 seconds with El Khannouss and Daka adding second-half goals. It was by no means one-way traffic, though, as West Ham – who scored a consolation through Niclas Fullkrug at the death – had 30 shots on goal. But Van Nistelrooy saw enough to think he can deliver on his objective of keeping the Foxes in the Premier League. “I am very happy, if you look at the result – and it is about the result – it was a great night, three points, three good goals and also very effective. Ruud at the wheel 🛞 pic.twitter.com/eVgIwWAcYw — Leicester City (@LCFC) December 3, 2024 “Overall the game of course we have seen and how dominant West Ham were at certain stages and what they created, that is a fact and something we have to look at. “Overall, what I expected of the players going forward was togetherness and hunger, energy and spirit in this team that is fighting for every inch. “Eleven players on the pitch who are fighting as a foundation to play the rest of the Premier League. I saw that completely with every single player that started and came on. “That’s the foundation we have to build on, without that it will be impossible to get where we want to go. I am very happy about that.” West Ham’s hierarchy will have seen what impact a managerial change can have as the jury remains out on Julen Lopetegui, with away fans making their feelings clear by chanting “You’re getting sacked in the morning”. Lopetegui expects to keep his job but forthcoming games against his former club Wolves, Bournemouth, Brighton and Southampton could determine the Spaniard’s future. “The only thing that I am worried about is to go to training session tomorrow and stand up the players and prepare the next challenge,” he said. “We have one month of December with a lot of matches and I am sure with this attitude we are going to achieve many more points. “I believe in the players. I am confident that tomorrow we are going to be ready to prepare the next match. “Understanding the question, but at the end of the season maybe we talk in another way. There are a lot of matches and points, a lot of things can happen. “I believe in these players and team, I am sure the position is going to be much better. They are only words but we have to work a lot to achieve this.”Hasty decisions and backroom deals betray Labor's dire need for a decent story

Texans' Azeez Al-Shaair suspended 3 games without pay after violent hit on Trevor Lawrence HOUSTON (AP) — Houston’s Azeez Al-Shaair was suspended by the NFL without pay for three games for repeated violations of player safety rules following his hit to the head of Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence, which led to a concussion. Al-Shaair’s punishment was announced by NFL vice president of football operations Jon Runyan. In his letter to Al-Shaair, he noted that he has had multiple offenses for personal fouls and sportsmanship-related rules violations in recent seasons. Runyan says “video shows you striking the head/neck area of Jaguars’ quarterback Trevor Lawrence after he clearly goes down in a feet-first slide.” USWNT beats Netherlands 2-1 in goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher's final match THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Alyssa Naher made two critical saves in her final match for the United States, Lynn Williams scored the go-ahead goal in the 71st minute and the Americans beat the Netherlands 2-1. The U.S., which won its fifth Olympic gold medal in France this summer, wrapped up the year on a 20-game unbeaten streak. The Americans were coming off a scoreless draw with England on Saturday at Wembley Stadium. Naeher announced two weeks ago that the European matches would be her last. The 36-year-old goalkeeper played in 115 games for the U.S., with 111 starts, 89 wins and 69 shutouts. Second-to-last college playoff rankings offer last chance to see how nervous teams should be The next-to-last rankings for the College Football Playoffs come out Tuesday night, serving up one last chance to see who would be in, who would be out, who will be mad and who should be very, very nervous. There are about 18 teams vying for 12 spots in the first-of-its-kind playoff that begins Dec. 20. Outside of Oregon — the only undefeated team in the country — and Notre Dame — on a 10-game winning streak and not playing this weekend — there are very few sure things. The rankings released Tuesday will be the last dry run before the real list is revealed Sunday. Signing with Dodgers was really easy decision for 2-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell LOS ANGELES (AP) — Two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell says it was a really easy decision to sign with the World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Joining a team that includes two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani influenced the left-hander too. Snell was introduced Tuesday at Dodger Stadium after signing a $182 million, five-year deal last weekend. Snell has known Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman since he was 18. Friedman says all conversations the front office has had since the World Series ended last month involved Snell, who was 2-2 against the Dodgers during his career. High school recruiting isn't the only way to build a winner in the era of the transfer portal Texas A&M signed the nation’s top-ranked class three years ago believing it had built a potential national title contender. Plenty of players from that heralded 2022 class could indeed be participating in the first 12-team College Football Playoff this month. They just won’t be doing it for the Aggies. Texas A&M represents perhaps the clearest example of how recruiting and roster construction have changed in the era of loosened transfer restrictions. Coaches must assemble high school classes without always knowing which of their own players are transferring and what players from other schools could be available through the portal. Javier Mascherano arrives at Inter Miami as coach, 5 years after team first pursued him to play FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Javier Mascherano has arrived in Miami and is already at work as Inter Miami's new coach. The former teammate of Inter Miami stars Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Luis Suarez says he's aware of critics who believe he doesn't have the experience needed to succeed in the job. Inter Miami first pursued Mascherano as a player in 2019 with hopes that he would coach in its academy system after one season. Five years later, he's tasked with bringing trophies to the club that Messi has lifted to new heights. Analysis: Getting benched may have been best thing that happened to Bryce Young, Anthony Richardson Getting benched may have been the best thing that happened to Bryce Young and Anthony Richardson. Both second-year quarterbacks are playing well since returning to the starting lineup. Young has steadily improved after coming back in Week 8. He’s displayed the skills that earned him a Heisman Trophy at Alabama and convinced the Panthers to draft him ahead of C.J. Stroud with the No. 1 overall pick in 2023. Richardson has led Indianapolis to a pair of comeback wins late in the fourth quarter in three starts after he regained his starting job. Young and Richardson both have a long way to go to prove they can be franchise quarterbacks. But there’s far more optimism now that they’re not busts. Transgender powerlifter asks Minnesota Supreme Court to let her compete in women's events ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Attorneys for a transgender athlete have urged the Minnesota Supreme Court to allow her to compete in the women's division at powerlifting events, saying she’s protected against discrimination by the Minnesota Human Rights Act. USA Powerlifting rejected JayCee Cooper’s application in 2018 to compete in the women’s division of its events on the ground that she enjoys strength advantages over other women. Cooper sued in 2021, and a trial court sided with her. But the Minnesota Court of Appeals sent the case back to the trial court in March, saying there were “genuine issues of fact” about why USA Powerlifting excluded Cooper. Fueled by boos, Browns receiver Jerry Jeudy turns in 235-yard performance in return to Denver DENVER (AP) — The boos only brought out the best in Jerry Jeudy as he returned to Denver. The explosive Cleveland Browns wideout turned in an electric performance Monday night with nine catches for 235 yards, the most in NFL history by a receiver against his former team. He also had a 70-yard touchdown in a 41-32 loss to the Broncos. Jeudy, who played his first four seasons with Denver, was jeered every time he caught the ball. He loved all the noise directed at him, even motioning at times for the crowd to get even louder. His only regret was the Browns couldn’t close out the win.

Greg Cote's Week 17 NFL picks

The Netherlands made tennis history by defeating Germany 2-0 on Friday to reach the Davis Cup final for the first time in their history. The victory sparked celebrations among Dutch fans at the Jose Maria Martin Carpena arena in Malaga, Spain. Botic Van de Zandschulp secured a thrilling win against Daniel Altmaier, overcoming nerves to clinch the match in three sets. Despite needing 10 match points, Van de Zandschulp's victory was pivotal in the semi-final showdown. Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff initially seemed poised to extend the match after leading Tallon Griekspoor by a set and a break. However, Griekspoor turned the tide with a spectacular comeback, winning 6-7(4) 7-5 6-4 and sealing the final spot for the Netherlands with his 25th ace. (With inputs from agencies.)HOUSTON — Houston's Azeez Al-Shaair was suspended by the NFL without pay for three games Tuesday for repeated violations of player safety rules following his violent hit to the head of Jacksonville's Trevor Lawrence, which led to a concussion. Al-Shaair's punishment was announced by NFL vice president of football operations Jon Runyan. In his letter to Al-Shaair, Runyan noted that he has had multiple offenses for personal fouls and sportsmanship-related rules violations in recent seasons. Back in the starting lineup after missing two games with a sprained left shoulder, Lawrence scrambled left on a second-and-7 play in the second quarter of Houston’s 23-20 win on Sunday. He initiated a slide before Al-Shaair raised his forearm and unleashed on the defenseless quarterback. In his letter to Al-Shaair, Runyan called the hit “unacceptable and a serious violation of the playing rules.” People are also reading... “Video shows you striking the head/neck area of Jaguars’ quarterback Trevor Lawrence after he clearly goes down in a feet-first slide," Runyan wrote. “You led with your forearm and helmet and delivered a forceful blow to the head/neck area of your opponent when you had time and space to avoid such contact.” Al-Shaair is appealing the suspension, according to a person with knowledge of the decision. Houston general manager Nick Caserio defended Al-Shaair and said he doesn't believe the league is using consistency in issuing punishments like these. “I probably speak for a lot of teams, not only the Houston Texans, but I think that’s all teams ask for is consistency from the league,” he said. “And I’d say in this situation, quite frankly, there’s no consistency at all relative to the level of discipline that’s been handed down.” HOF finalists Prolific receiver Sterling Sharpe and Super Bowl-winning coach Mike Holmgren have advanced to the final stage of voting for the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame class. Sharpe was picked as one of three finalists in the Seniors category for players whose career ended in 1999 or earlier, along with Maxie Baughan and Jim Tyrer. Holmgren was picked as the lone finalist in the coaching category, and Ralph Hay, who helped found the NFL more than a century ago, was the finalist in the contributor category.

The thermal protection element uses a bimetallic strip that responds to sustained overload conditions by bending when heated, triggering the breaker mechanism. The magnetic protection component responds instantly to short-circuit currents using an electromagnetic solenoid. This dual approach ensures both gradual overload protection and instantaneous short-circuit protection, safeguarding electrical systems and equipment from potential damage. The adjustable trip settings allow users to customize protection levels based on specific application requirements, making them versatile for various electrical installations. Adjustable Trip Settings One of the most valuable features of MCCBs is their adjustable trip settings, allowing for precise calibration of protection parameters. Users can modify thermal and magnetic trip thresholds to match specific load requirements and coordination needs. This adjustability includes overload protection settings (typically 70-100% of rated current), short-circuit protection settings, and in some cases, ground fault protection settings. Modern MCCBs often feature electronic trip units that offer even more precise adjustment capabilities, including time delays and pickup levels, enabling better coordination with other protective devices in the electrical system. Interrupting Capacity MCCBs are designed with high interrupting capacities, capable of safely breaking fault currents many times their nominal rating. This feature is crucial for maintaining system safety during severe fault conditions. The interrupting capacity can range from 10kA to 200kA or higher, depending on the model and application requirements. The breaker's ability to interrupt high fault currents without damage or danger is achieved through advanced arc-extinguishing chambers, contact materials, and operating mechanisms. This high interrupting capacity makes MCCBs suitable for both main circuit protection and critical sub-circuit applications where potential fault currents are significant. Insulation and Environmental Protection The molded case construction of MCCBs provides excellent insulation and protection against environmental factors. The thermally and electrically insulating housing material ensures operator safety and protects internal components from dust, moisture, and chemical exposure. This robust construction makes MCCBs suitable for various installation environments, from clean indoor settings to harsh industrial conditions. The housing also includes features like IP ratings for different environmental protection levels and flame-retardant properties, ensuring long-term reliability and safety in diverse applications. Visual Status Indication MCCBs incorporate clear visual indicators that show the breaker's operational status, including ON/OFF position, trip status, and fault type indication. These indicators help maintenance personnel quickly identify the cause of a trip, whether it's due to overload, short circuit, or ground fault. Advanced models may include LED displays or digital readouts showing current levels, fault history, and other diagnostic information. This feature enhances maintenance efficiency and helps in troubleshooting electrical problems, reducing downtime and improving system reliability. Image: https://i216.goodao.net/uploads/gfdhv2.jpg Auxiliary Contacts and Accessories Modern MCCBs can be equipped with various auxiliary devices and accessories that enhance their functionality. These include auxiliary contacts for remote status monitoring, alarm contacts for fault indication, shunt trips for remote tripping, and motor operators for remote operation. These accessories enable integration with building management systems, SCADA systems, and other monitoring and control platforms. The modular design allows for easy installation of these accessories, making MCCBs adaptable to changing system requirements and automation needs. Thermal Memory Function Advanced MCCBs incorporate thermal memory functions that track the thermal state of protected circuits even after a trip event. This feature ensures that when reclosing after a thermal trip, the breaker accounts for residual heat in the circuit, preventing potential damage from quick reconnection to an already heated circuit. The thermal memory function improves protection accuracy and equipment longevity by considering the cumulative effects of multiple overload conditions over time. Electronic Trip Unit Integration Modern MCCBs incorporate sophisticated electronic trip units that significantly enhance protection capabilities and monitoring functions. These microprocessor-based units provide precise current sensing and advanced protection algorithms that can be programmed for specific applications. The electronic trip units offer features like true RMS current measurement, harmonic analysis, power quality monitoring, and data logging capabilities. They can display real-time electrical parameters including current, voltage, power factor, and energy consumption. Advanced models include communication interfaces for remote monitoring and control, enabling integration with smart grid systems and energy management platforms. The electronic trip units also facilitate preventive maintenance through predictive analytics, monitoring contact wear, and providing early warning of potential issues, making them invaluable for modern power distribution systems. Testing and Maintenance Features MCCBs are designed with built-in testing capabilities that allow for regular maintenance checks without removing the breaker from service. Test buttons enable verification of trip mechanisms, while some models include test ports for injection testing of protection functions. Advanced electronic MCCBs may include self-diagnostic features that continuously monitor internal components and alert users to potential problems. These maintenance features ensure reliable operation and help prevent unexpected failures through regular testing and preventive maintenance.
