rich9 game Some Canadian seniors say they're feeling abandoned by the Liberal government's latest inflation relief measure after learning they don't qualify for it. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday that his government would send $250 cheques to the 18.7 million people in Canada who worked in 2023 and earned $150,000 or less. Those cheques, which the government is calling the "Working Canadians Rebate," are expected to be delivered in "early spring 2025," Trudeau said. Anyone who was not working in 2023, such as people who were retired or receiving social assistance, are ineligible. The $250 cheques will cost about $4.68 billion, a Finance official told CBC News. Neil Pierce, a 69-year-old Edmonton resident, called the cheques a "political handout." He said he is "astonished" that the federal government plans on giving "money to people who were working and, in some cases, making an awful lot of money." Neil Pierce, 69, said he was 'astonished' to learn who is eligible for the payments. (Submitted by Neil Pierce) As a retiree and recipient of Old Age Security (OAS) and Canada Pension Plan (CPP) payments, Pierce is ineligible for the cheque. "I feel that a lot of us are left behind through this announcement," he said. "The rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer as a result." Pierce said his 99-year-old mother, who also receives CPP and OAS payments, was "excited" when she first heard the news but was disappointed when he explained to her that she wouldn't get a cheque. Elizabeth Mary Donlevy — a 93-year-old from Woodstock, Ont. — said she was "incensed" after hearing the prime minister say the measure would apply only to Canadians working last year. "Every time I think about this, I think of the discrimination that goes on constantly against seniors," she said. "He's penalizing people for being over 65." Donlevy said the announcement suggests seniors should be "out there working on getting a living so that we are eligible for his largesse." She said that for some seniors on fixed incomes, $250 "would mean a whole lot," while people with six-figure incomes might it for granted. "If they make that amount of money ... I admire them and I hope they get everything they can, but it shouldn't be at the expense of seniors," she said. Steven Laperrière, general manager of (RAPLIQ) — a Montreal-based advocacy group for people with disabilities — said he has "mixed emotions" about the program because a lot of vulnerable people won't be eligible. "You're stigmatizing them a little bit further," he said. "And it's very frustrating to interpret it like that, but that's how they're receiving this. 'You're telling them, 'Well, sorry guys ... it's not your fault you can't work or you're not finding any work because of your disability, but you cannot have that cheque.'" NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Thursday that his party will support the affordability measures and work with the Liberals to temporarily lift the logjam in Parliament to get the bill through. That didn't stop New Democrat Peter Julian, MP for Westminster—Burnaby, from criticizing the measure during question period on Friday after asking why some vulnerable people would be excluded. "The Liberals' new plan misses the mark," he said. "Liberals are letting people on fixed incomes down yet again." At a news conference Friday afternoon in Brampton, Ont., Trudeau said his government has been "extraordinarily present in helping the most vulnerable Canadians," citing a 10 per cent increase to OAS and an increase to the Canada child benefit. He said he regularly hears from working Canadians who are struggling to make ends meet. "We're not reducing any of the other programs we're delivering to the most vulnerable but recognizing hardworking Canadians," he said. "It's about seeing Canadians as the hardworking nation-builders they are and giving them that support that they need at this time of challenge."The claim: Image shows Justin Trudeau post mocking Trump A Dec. 4 Threads post ( direct link , archive link ) shows a screenshot of what appears to be an X post from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The post includes an image of President-elect Donald Trump falling off a cliff as a crowd waves Canadian flags behind him and a caption that reads, "Oh Canada!" The Threads post received more than 500 likes in two days. The image was also reposted thousands of times on X and circulated widely on Instagram and on Threads . A version shared to Facebook by the liberal group Occupy Democrats was labeled as satire . More from the Fact-Check Team: How we pick and research claims | Email newsletter | Facebook page Our rating: Altered The image of the X post is a fabrication. There is no record of the post on Trudeau's verified account. No record of post on Trudeau’s account The supposed screenshot resembles legitimate posts shared by Trudeau . Its profile image matches the one on his account, and it contains a gray badge to indicate it purportedly belongs to a government official . But it is not a real post, and there is no record it was ever shared by Trudeau’s account. There are no credible news reports about the prime minister sharing such a post. Fact check : No evidence Canadian prime minister fled country amid trucker protests The purported counts of responses, reposts and likes are identical in many versions of the image circulating on social media, an indication the image is a fabrication that traces to a single source. An authentic post would have been captured and shared at various times by Trudeau’s 6.5 million followers with varying numbers of reposts and likes. Trump has threatened a 25% tariff on all products coming into the U.S. from Canada and Mexico , prompting Trudeau to make a visit to Mar-a-Lago to meet with Trump . The Canadian prime minister expressed concern that the tariffs would wreck his country’s economy. Trump responded by suggesting Canada become the 51st state . Trump later shared a Truth Social post containing a clearly fabricated image of himself standing on a cliff with the Canadian flag. Its caption of “Oh Canada!” matches the one in the fabricated Trudeau post. USA TODAY previously debunked false claims that Trudeau announced a three-year freeze on immigration to Canada and that an image shows a social media post from Elon Musk saying Trump “will do anything I tell him to do .” An Instagram user who shared the image acknowledged in a message to USA TODAY that it is a parody. USA TODAY reached out to Trudeau’s office and to several social media users who shared the image but did not immediately receive responses. The X users who shared it could not be reached.

Buyout firm TPG's climate investment division is in talks to acquire Altus Power, an American provider of solar energy to commercial and residential markets, sources told Reuters. The discussions, which remain confidential, could result in a deal being finalized in the coming weeks, though there is a possibility that negotiations could fall through. Shares of Altus Power skyrocketed more than 23% following the news before settling, giving the company an estimated market valuation of $650 million; the firm's debt at the end of September was around $1.1 billion. Altus, one of the largest holders of commercial-scale solar plants in the U.S., had announced in October it was considering various strategic options, including a sale. Founded in 2009, Altus Power operates large-scale solar installations and provides energy storage and charging services, currently generating about 1 gigawatt of power. The increased demand for renewable energy solutions makes Altus an attractive target for infrastructure investors like TPG, which manages $19 billion in assets focused on driving social and environmental impact. (With inputs from agencies.)SLUG: DELAYED DUE TO DIFFERENCES Vadodara: The Sama flyover project , which was delayed due to differences of opinion among elected representatives of the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC), will now be taken up for discussion by the coordination committee of the BJP. VMC's political wing functionaries earlier passed the responsibility to the party as the deadlock continued. The flyover at Sama Crossroads, also called the Abacus Crossroads, was embroiled in controversy after it was suggested that the flyover should be linked to the Urmi bridge on the Vishwamitri river. This suggestion was taken up by VMC officials, and a design that aligned the existing Urmi bridge with the flyover was created. A fresh proposal regarding the unified bridge was also made by officials and presented before the standing committee of the civic body. However, before the proposal could be discussed, another group of corporators visited the site and stated that the idea of joining the bridge was only for the benefit of a few individuals and should be abandoned. They also raised concerns over the cost escalation. Instead of a small flyover costing Rs 56.56 crore, the project cost escalated to Rs 120.71 crore. In light of the deadlock, the ruling BJP decided that the top brass of the city unit should make a decision on the project. Sources said that the coordination committee of the BJP, which includes MLAs from the city, MP, VMC functionaries, and senior BJP city unit members, will now discuss the project. With so many top functionaries involved, there is no certainty regarding the possible outcome. Sources added that there was no word yet on the meeting of the coordination committee of the party. The ongoing process of appointing party functionaries at the ward level and then the city and state level functionaries may even delay the meeting.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Maria Gakdeng tied her season high with 21 points and grabbed a season-best 12 rebounds, Alyssa Ustby added 19 points and 13 boards and the No. 17 North Carolina women beat Miami 69-60 on Sunday for their third consecutive win. North Carolina (13-2, 1-1 ACC) lost its conference opener to No. 13 Georgia Tech on Dec. 15 before nonconference wins against Florida and Norfolk State. Gakdeng made 7 of 11 from the field and 7 of 10 from the free-throw line. Indya Nivar finished with 11 points, five assists and three steals for the Tar Heels. Miami (11-2, 1-1) had its four-game win streak snapped. Gakdeng made a layup with 6:14 left in the first quarter that gave North Carolina the lead for good and Ustby followed with a 3-pointer to spark a 9-0 spurt that made it 16-7 about 2 minutes later. The Tar Heels scored eight of the first 10 second-quarter points to push their lead to 13 with 7:25 left in the second quarter before Miami scored the final seven points to trim its deficit to 39-29 at halftime.

The Texans were in need of another wideout after star Tank Dell suffered a season-ending leg injury against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. Dell suffered a torn ACL and a dislocated kneecap, needing to be carted off the field. The claim comes at an interesting time, as the Texans host the Ravens on Christmas Day, giving Johnson some insight to the first opponent with his new team, per ESPN. Johnson spent nearly a month with Baltimore before being suspended for conduct 'detrimental' to the team and ultimately, being released. Johnson was traded to the Panthers in March after five seasons with the Steelers. Now, he's on to his third team this year.

Houston Texans Kansas City Chiefs Share or comment on this article: Houston Texans swoop for new wide receiver Diontae Johnson after Tank Dell's horrific injury vs Kansas City Chiefs e-mail 76 shares Add commentTo minimize our rice importation, we must spend our irrigation money wisely. But first, let us understand our rice import situation today. The reason why the Philippines is the world’s top rice importer was given by Paul John Caña. He quotes from the book “Why Does the Philippine Import Rice,” which states: “Several answers have been given to this question, many of which injure national pride by alluding to bad politicians, corruption, incompetence or laziness. But the real answer is not so bad: In a word, it is geography. ” We import rice because we are composed of islands with no major deltas like Thailand and Vietnam. The major rice exporters are all in the Southeast Asian mainland (Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar). The importers are all archipelagos or narrow peninsulas (the Philippines, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Japan, Korea and Malaysia). READ: Marcos: New dams, river projects to lessen flooding in Cagayan Valley The book continues: “The fact that countries remain in one club or the other for long periods of time suggests that some deep force is at work. That deep force is endowments of land and water. Thailand has four times the arable land per person versus the Philippines.” Given this difficult situation, it is necessary that we choose the best ways to use our irrigation money to produce the most rice per peso spent. But in the past, Congress has chosen to spend too much of the available money on new irrigation when other alternatives are more cost-efficient. This is because new irrigation is perceived to get more votes than these other alternatives. Last Nov. 19, we talked to National Irrigation Administration (NIA) head Eduardo Guillen and National Confederation of Irrigators Association president Remy Albano. They recommended three more cost-efficient options compared to new irrigation, which averages P1.3 million a hectare. The first is to spend it on repairs and restoration. This would cost P500,000 per hectare, or 38 percent of the cost of new irrigation. With the same amount of money, we can produce 2.6 times the volume of new irrigation. READ: NIA’s solar irrigation project a game-changer for farmers, food security The second alternative is even more attractive. When irrigation does not work because of no energy, solar-powered systems can be used at only P250,000 per hectare. This means more than five times the benefit of new irrigation. Despite this, it is often shelved in favor of new irrigation. The third is to have solar-powered irrigation in traditionally nonirrigable areas. Irrigation is usually done only on land with a slope grade of 3 percent. But irrigation is not just for rice. Solar-powered irrigation can be used for high-value crops grown in mountainous areas, with the land sloping at up to 31 percent. This costs P750,000 per hectare. It yields a very high rate of return from these crops that sell for much higher prices than rice. In addition to choosing the optimal mode of irrigation, other factors should be considered to optimize its use. A new rice road map group, with Hazel Tanchuling as chair and Raul Montemayor as cochair, discusses the importance of considering climate change forecasts when deciding when to plant. Guiller, the NIA administrator, added that planting should no longer be done the traditional way in irrigated areas. Instead, planting should be timed to avoid the dangerous typhoons that cause havoc to rice production. But since this is against farmers’ culture and tradition, a system should be put in place to motivate this new behavior. An example will be to time the provision of inputs such as water, seeds and fertilizers so that the planting is done at the optimal time. Another key factor is clustering. Irrigation done in clustered areas will result in economies of scale. This will be seen in the different areas of production, credit, marketing and technology transfer. In addition, irrigation must be part of a holistic agriculture development plan. Subscribe to our daily newsletter By providing an email address. I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . Because of geography, we may have no choice but to import rice. However, we should be replacing these imports through wise water use. Choosing the right way of spending irrigation money based on the expected return on investment, instead of perceived political benefit, must now be done by Congress. This must be supplemented by good management using factors like timing, clustering and the other components necessary for a complete approach. We can then move closer to true food security.

Why these ASX dividend stocks could be best buysFushi Technology to Launch AI Agent Industry Vertical Applications, Accelerating Southeast Asia Market Expansion 12-23-2024 07:52 PM CET | Business, Economy, Finances, Banking & Insurance Press release from: Getnews / PR Agency: LeadPRwire Online On December 20th, it was reported that Fushi Technology is set to launch its AI Agent industry vertical applications in the Southeast Asia region to help businesses improve efficiency and optimize operations. According to public information, Fushi Technology is an investment of Hong Kong-listed company Yeahka Limited (9923.HK). In 2024, Fushi already expanded its client base in Southeast Asia, including over 200 global and regional brands such as Starbucks, MUJI, Pizza Hut, New Balance, Levi's, KOI, and Mr. Coconut, covering markets in Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Malaysia, with over 20,000 stores in total. Fushi's achievements can be attributed to two key drivers: The first driver is the synergies created by its partnership with Yeahka. Leveraging the payment technology, service expertise, and applied artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that are already validated in China, Fushi provides more attractive business empowerment solutions for merchants across the Asia-Pacific region. The second key driver is that Fushi itself places great importance on the localization of its SaaS product development and operations functionalities. By continually harnessing the market attributes and customer preferences in different vertical industries overseas, Fushi has enriched its in-house product portfolio and greatly improved service efficiency, enhancing the breadth and depth of its business empowerment capabilities for clients, while also increasing customer retention. The launch of Fushi's AI Agent industry vertical application is also driven by the needs of those overseas clients outside of China. Currently, Fushi's AI Agent primarily targets the food and beverage industry. Customers can use conversational natural language, either through voice or text, on the brand's official app or website to inquire about various information related to restaurants and food, as well as place orders and make payments. This will significantly enhance the customer experience and improve order conversion rates. In the future, Fushi will also collaborate with Ascentis, a leading CRM company in Singapore that Fushi recently acquired, to develop a marketing AI agent, allowing businesses to automatically plan and execute marketing campaigns and manage customer relationships through natural language. AI Agents are intelligent entities based on large language models (LLMs) that can autonomously understand, plan, make decisions, and perform complex tasks. Unlike traditional large models, AI Agents not only tell you "how to do" something, but also help you "do it." According to Deloitte, AI Agents are reshaping industries in unprecedented ways. They not only expand the application scope of generative AI but also enhance AI capabilities through multi-agent AI systems. For example, after launching the AI-driven AXON2.0 advertising marketing engine, Applovin saw an increase in advertising monetization rates, with third-quarter revenue rising by 39% year-on-year and net profit growing by 300% year-on-year. As of December 20th, Applovin's stock price has increased by over 700% this year. With AI Agents reshaping traditional industries and technologies, more industry disruptors are expected to emerge. Jared, a partner at Y Combinator and a senior investor, recently analyzed the market, predicting that vertical AI Agents could become a new market that is 10 times larger than SaaS, potentially creating technology giants with market values exceeding $300 billion each. With China's expansion into overseas markets, Fushi is poised to seize new market opportunities, thanks to its long-standing experience in serving merchants in combination with the addition of proprietary AI Agents.

UB’s WNY Sophomore Externship Experience program expands in 2025The Packers have had a good season, but they have struggled in two games against the Vikings. It will take a heck of a comeback for the Packers today to split their two meetings. Minnesota led 28-0 in a Week 4 game in Green Bay before holding on for a 31-29 win. Today, the Vikings lead 20-3. Minnesota opened the second half with a nine-play, 70-yard drive, with Jordan Addison catching an 18-yard touchdown pass from Sam Darnold. Addison turned around Javon Bullard to get open in the end zone. Darnold is 24-of-30 for 257 yards and two touchdowns as the Vikings now have 299 yards. Addison had two catches for 20 yards on the opening third quarter drive, giving him five for 49.

The move could usher in an end to a protracted political crisis in the European Union country following the annulment of a presidential election by a top court. Parliament approved the new administration in a 240-143 vote in Romania’s 466-seat legislature. The new coalition is made up of the leftist Social Democratic Party (PSD) the centre-right National Liberal Party (PNL), the small ethnic Hungarian UDMR party and national minorities. It caps a month-long period of turmoil in which far-right nationalists made significant gains in a parliamentary election on December 1 a week after a first-round presidential race saw the far-right outsider Calin Georgescu emerge as the front-runner. “It will not be an easy mandate for the future government,” Mr Ciolacu, whose PSD party topped the polls in the parliamentary election, said in a statement. “We are aware that we are in the midst of a deep political crisis,” he said. “It is also a crisis of trust, and this coalition aims to regain the trust of citizens, the trust of the people.” Romania’s 16 ministerial positions will be shared among the parties, which will hold a slim majority in the legislature. It is widely seen as a tactical partnership to shut out far-right nationalists whose voices found fertile ground amid high living costs and a sluggish economy. Mr Ciolacu, who came third in the first-round presidential ballot despite polls indicating he would win the most votes, has served as prime minister since June 2023. After parliament’s approval, President Klaus Iohannis swore in the new government and warned the new Cabinet that it is entering a “difficult new period” in which “for many Romanians, there are major concerns”. Romania was plunged into turmoil after Mr Georgescu’s surprise success in the presidential race, after allegations of electoral violations and Russian interference emerged. Days before the December 8 run-off, the Constitutional Court made the unprecedented move to annul the presidential race. “We go through complicated times, but I think we all learned from mistakes of the past,” Mr Ciolacu said. “I hope that together with my colleagues in the coalition, we’ll find the best solutions to get past the challenges we have in front of us.” Mr Ciolacu said that the new government would aim to quickly organise the rerun of the presidential election in which the new coalition has agreed to put forward an agreed common pro-European candidate. Cristian Andrei, a political consultant based in Bucharest, said that the new government made up of the same political parties will likely embrace “soft populist” rhetoric such as economic patriotism, anti-austerity, and a peace solution in neighbouring Ukraine to counter the rise of far-right populism. “This will be a way to answer the concerns of many Romanians who voted for populists... but will not solve the fundamental problem of trust,” he said. “The only decisive factor now will be who and how convincing the pro-European candidates will be against this popular revolt.” George Simion, the leader of the far-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians, which came second in the parliamentary election, said that all politicians from his party on Monday would vote against the Ciolacu government. In 2021, the PSD and the PNL also formed an unlikely but increasingly strained coalition together with UDMR, which exited the Cabinet last year after a power-sharing dispute.Qorvo's SVP Chesley Philip sells $283,756 in stock
