NEWBURY: A couple of good ‘uns
Iranian President To Visit Moscow For Talks In JanuaryDETROIT (AP) — Electric vehicles had another whirlwind year around the globe, driven by buyers in China, and growth in parts of Europe and the United States, despite headwinds. In a milestone for China, the world’s biggest auto market, EVs hit 50% of new car sales in July. That included pure battery EVs plus plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Chinese companies such as BYD continue to gain traction worldwide with their inexpensive EVs. Electric vehicles also made and the U.S. Uncertainty around purchase subsidies could complicate matters come 2025, especially under the incoming Trump administration in the U.S. But mainstream consumers remain interested in new models, longer driving ranges, better performance and lower prices. The transition to electric vehicles is an important part of the shift to clean energy. Road transport accounts for of all global emissions from energy, according to the International Energy Agency. Widespread EV adoption could significantly address climate change. Here are five facts about EVs this year. Most of the data comes from consultancy Rho Motion. The global EV market, including pure EVs and plug-in hybrids, grew by 25% year-over-year as of November. Rho Motion estimates 15.2 million EVs had been sold worldwide ahead of the end of the year, and the International Energy Agency expected electrified vehicle sales to reach one in five cars sold globally. Most were in China. Mexico sold roughly 5 times as many EVs this year than last, mostly from Chinese powerhouse automaker BYD, according to Rho Motion. Related Articles Because China’s population is so much larger, its 40% growth year-to-date translates to many more EVs than Mexico’s fivefold increase. Other areas of note are the United Kingdom, which saw a roughly 17% increase year-to-date. That’s interesting to compare to France and Germany, which saw sales decline. In Turkey, the EV market grew by almost 50% year-to-date, driven by Tesla entering the market last year and Togg, a Turkish auto company, ramping up its sales. In Norway, which for years has been in first place for share of vehicles that are electric, 90% of new cars were EVs. The best-selling pure electric vehicles were the Tesla Model Y, followed by the Tesla Model 3 — both globally and in the U.S., according to Rho Motion. The Model Y SUV was released in 2020. Its base version today costs nearly $45,000. The Model 3 was released in 2017. The least expensive version sells for around $42,000. Both have been eligible for a $7,500 tax credit in the U.S. Tesla’s market share stood at 17% of all electric cars across the globe through October, according to Rho Motion. In the U.S., Tesla’s market share was 49% through October. That means the company still has the biggest EV market share. But its hold is shrinking as other auto companies combined sell a growing number of electrics. For example, GM, Ford, Honda and more are offering a wider variety of EVs at lower prices and sizes and are chipping away at Tesla’s longstanding lead. Tesla remains the most valuable auto company in the world, with a market value of $1.4 trillion.Share this Story : Why this weekend is big for the Ottawa 67's, and what's ahead for Team Canada juniors Copy Link Email X Reddit Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr Breadcrumb Trail Links Sports Hockey Junior Hockey World Juniors Why this weekend is big for the Ottawa 67's, and what's ahead for Team Canada juniors Head coach Dave Cameron will soon be stepping away from the OHL club to guide the Canadian team in the world junior hockey championship in Ottawa.

Activate your Online Access Now Article content On Wednesday in Oshawa, Cameron’s troops took a 4-3 lead into the third period before losing 8-4 to the East Division first-place Generals. That loss came on the heels of a 10-4 loss to the CHL’s No. 1-ranked London Knights, a game when the 67’s trailed 9-0 and gave up five power-play goals. “We have to find a way to just tidy up a little bit better defensively,” Cameron said moments after returning from Oshawa on Thursday afternoon. They also need better goaltending and to drastically improve their short-handed play. The 67’s have the worst penalty-killing numbers in the Ontario Hockey League, surviving just 60.2 percent of man-disadvantage situations. Their problems with a player in the box are a major factor in a disappointing 9-10-6 record that has them sitting fourth in the five-team East Division. Their power play was the best in the OHL (29 per cent) until it was surpassed by the Knights, who were at 30.6 per cent. The 67’s would likely still be No. 1 if they could go up against their own penalty-kill units. “Faceoffs, and we don’t block enough shots,” Cameron said when asked about the issues with the PK. “Those are the two main things.” Sports Get the latest sport headlines and breaking news.

Article content While Sunday will mark the 67’s annual “Teddy Bear Toss”, this weekend will be a lot like last weekend for the 67’s, who started with the last-place Peterborough Petes — who they beat 4-2 — before taking on first-place London. Is it a bad time for him to be taking a leave of absence from his full-time job? “It’s not because the team is in good hands,” Cameron said, referring to assistants Norm Milley and Paul Stoykewych. “I’ve got two really good coaches.” He’s also very thankful his bosses at OSEG are allowing him this opportunity to guide Team Canada at the WJCs. What does Cameron think of the roster he’s inheriting for the prestigious global tournament? The list of 30 players who will attend the selection camp, which begins Tuesday at TD Place, has been debated and questioned since it was released earlier this week. A number of top first-round picks were not invited, including Ottawa Senators prospect Carter Yakemchuk, a Calgary Hitmen defenceman who was selected seventh overall in the 2024 draft and at one point appeared to be ready to play in the National Hockey League this season. Advertisement 4 Story continues below This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Article content Senators general manager Steve Staois has publicly stated he believes Yakemchuk could be a top-pairing blue liner for Team Canada. “We don’t pick an all-star team,” Cameron said. “We pick them with a focus We pick them with a focus on team that can win in different ways.” It’s quite likely that, after losing to the Czechs in the quarterfinals of the 2024 tournament in Sweden, Canada wants to make sure it has a veteran lineup. What does Cameron see when he looks at the list of players coming to Ottawa next week? “A real good, competitive team,” he said. “We’re going to be really competitive. We’ve got to find a way to win the big games. We’re going to need a little bit of luck. “Put it this way,” he added of the second-guessers. “You could pick 30 different teams and somebody would be offended. That’s the nature of the tournament.” The committee that selected the Canadian roster for the Four Nations Face-off in February might say the same thing. What’s the schedule of events for Team Canada leading to the Boxing Day tournament opener against Finland? The selection camp will start Tuesday at TD Place and remain there for exhibition games against U Sports all-stars on Thursday (3 p.m.) and Friday (12 noon).

Both games will also be livestreamed at HNLive.ca. Following selection camp, Canada’s National Junior Team will travel to Petawawa, Ont., for a four-day training camp at the Silver Dart Arena on Dec. 15-18, Team Canada will also take on Switzerland, Sweden and Czechia in pre-tournament action. The Boxing Day tournament opener has a 7:30 p.m. start time and will be televised on TSN and RDS. What 67’s are stepping away? Other than captain Luca Pinelli, who will attend Team Canada’s selection camp, rookie centre Filip Ekberg has been picked to play for Sweden at the world junior tournament. “Weeks ago, the coach called me and just said, ‘You’re on the team,'” Ekberg, who has seven goals and 10 assists through his first 21 OHL games, said Thursday. “I talked to my team, the 67’s, and they said, ‘OK.’ So that was a nice feeling.” Ekberg and defenceman Kaleb Dietsch have been selected to the Eastern Conference roster for the inaugural Connor McDavid OHL Top Prospects Game on Jan. 15 at the Brantford Civic Centre. “We are extremely proud of Filip and Kaleb for the work they have done to earn this opportunity,” 67’s GM James Boyd said. “We look forward to watching them compete on this stage, alongside some of our league’s top players.” Article content Share this article in your social network Share this Story : Why this weekend is big for the Ottawa 67's, and what's ahead for Team Canada juniors Copy Link Email X Reddit Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr Comments You must be logged in to join the discussion or read more comments.

It was announced earlier this month that Lineker would be stepping down at the end of the season after 25 years. Since the news emerged, a number of names have been linked with the role, including experienced presenters Mark Chapman , Gabby Logan , Alex Scott and Kelly Somers . Several ex-footballers have also been mooted as potential replacements, including current Match of the Day pundits Richards and Alan Shearer . Richards and Shearer also appear alongside Lineker on The Rest Is Football podcast and the trio have regularly discussed the future of the show. On a recent episode, Richards attempted to rule himself out of the running to replace Lineker and was hilariously shut down by the former England striker. "You know what, can I just get this out there, right," Richards began. "When people are saying Micah Richards is potentially going to take over a presenter, I think it's a massive disrespect to all the presenters out there. There's so many talented people. Just because I'm a pundit, I can give insight to a player, I feel I know the game, I watch tactics. "But to take over presenting one of the most iconic shows, not just in sport, but that BBC's ever had? There's so many others they can pick over me, I just can't believe they would even put my name in the hat." Lineker then jokingly replied: "Micah, you can totally relax. I can assure you they won't be asking you." Lineker has also refused to give his thoughts on who he feels should replace him, but he has shared some advice for his future successor. "Obviously, I don't know who it'll be, and I would never tell publicly my preference," he said. "I don't think that’d be the right thing to do – but whoever it is, I would say be yourself. I had to fill the ginormous shoes of certain Des Lynam. I would say just be yourself and enjoy it, it's a wonderful programme to be a part of. It was brilliant before I took over, and it will be brilliant after I leave." Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.

Coimbatore: In a significant step towards modernising public amenities and promoting hygiene , the city police, in association with Arthida Creations and Foundation and Enthutech, have unveiled an innovative smart washroom on the first floor of the city police commissionerate. This initiative aims at enhancing sanitation standards and streamlining restroom maintenance through advanced technology. The smart restroom features a unique 10-button interface to address common issues faced by users. Each button corresponds to specific concerns such as no water supply, damaged taps, foul odour, lack of dustbins and other maintenance needs. When a button is pressed, the system immediately notifies the maintenance team, ensuring swift problem resolution and continuous hygiene upkeep. The system could monitor air quality and send alerts via a mobile app if odour level exceeds acceptable limits. Equipped with water level sensors and a threshold-based automated pump system, the washroom ensures efficient water usage and energy conservation. It offers real-time updates on the washroom's operational status, enabling seamless maintenance. "We could save water, electricity and manpower by installing smart washrooms, while ensuring a hygienic and pleasant experience for users," said Neena Arthida, chairperson, Arthida Creations and Foundation. City police commissioner V Balakrishnan said it was high time to use advanced technology to conserve water and maintain a washroom with hygiene. "This is a pilot project. If successful, we will extend the project to other restrooms. Meanwhile, we have sent a proposal to appoint 15 sanitary workers on a temporary basis to the city police commissionerate to ensure a clean campus and hygienic washrooms."

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Michigan gave athletic director Warde Manuel a five-year contract extension Thursday on the heels of the Wolverines' upset over rival Ohio State and a strong start to the basketball season. Manuel, who has held the position since 2016, signed through June 30, 2030, the school announced. Manuel is also chairman of the College Football Playoff selection committee. “During Warde’s tenure as director, Athletics has put a structure in place where our student-athletes compete for Big Ten and national championships, excel in the classroom, and proudly graduate with their University of Michigan degrees,” university President Santa J. Ono said in the announcement. Michigan had a disappointing football season, finishing 7-5 (5-4 Big Ten), but a 13-10 win over then-No. 2 Ohio State took some pressure off of the program. The Buckeyes were favored by 21 points, the widest point spread for the rivalry since 1978, according to ESPN Stats and Info. The Wolverines won the national championship last year in their final season led by coach Jim Harbaugh, whose tenure at the school involved multiple NCAA investigations for recruiting and sign-stealing allegations. Manuel supported Harbaugh through those processes. In basketball, the women's team made its season debut (No. 23) in the AP Top 25 this week. The men are 7-1 a season after firing coach Juwan Howard, who lost a school-record 24 games in 2023-24 as Michigan plummeted to a last-place finish in the Big Ten for the first time since 1967. Michigan has won 52 Big Ten championships since 2020. “Every day, I am thankful to work at this great institution and to represent Michigan Athletics," Manuel said in a statement. "I especially want to thank the student-athletes, coaches and staff who compete for each of our teams and who have helped us achieve unparalleled success athletically and academically. I am excited to continue giving back to a university that has provided me with so much over my career.” Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .
