While Napoli swooped for McTominay and Billy Gilmour this summer , Che Adams made the same move to Italy , but stayed in the northern city of Turin - and joined Torino. Early in the season they had a bright start, and established a spot at the top of the Serie A table, but since then have slowly fallen down the pecking order as Antonio Conte and his Scottish double-act lead the way instead. The growing Scottish contingent in the Italian top flight began with ex-Hibs midfielder Liam Henderson , and he came face to face with his fellow countryman when Empoli met Torino this evening - but Adams came out on top.

Tim and Joan Pieper will be enjoying their first Christmas at the house they purchased 21⁄2 years ago for $5. It took 21⁄2 years to restore this Dutch colonial house, which had been scheduled to be demolished. It was about to be demolished when they bought the Dutch colonial and had it carted about a mile to a 3-acre section of a farm they own near Mitchell, Nebraska. “We moved it and restored it to save it,” Joan said. With Brad Shaul of Shaul Construction as the main contractor, the house was gutted to the studs and then plumbing, electrical, HVAC, windows and new floors were added. “Everything is new but the entry, the staircase and the pocket doors from the living room and dining room,” Joan said. “We put in a new basement.” Landscaping will be done this spring. Rob Bullock of Furniture Medic by Cowboy Wood Doctors in Cheyenne, Wyoming, did a phenomenal job restoring the doors and some of the woodwork, Joan said. She and Tim visited antique stores in places like Crofton and Newman Grove to replace missing hardware for the doors. Joan cooked them in a crockpot and scrubbed them up the next day. It wasn’t a cheap project, but it was fun, Joan says. The dining room of the Piepers’ renovated house. “It’s not like HGTV when they do it for $100,000,” Joan said. “Once you are into it, you can’t stop.” They’re not sure what they’ll do with the house. They live across the border in Torrington, Wyoming. They’ve watched a few Nebraska football and volleyball games there with friends, and three of their four children and their families will be there for Christmas. Joan said it’s surreal that the renovation is finished. “I love it,” she said. “It really turned out wonderful.” Short Takes is a compilation of lightly edited press releases from various organizations.

NoneFrom the season’s outset, Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said Minnesota would leave itself the flexibility to close games with whatever lineup the coaching staff felt was needed to secure a victory. ADVERTISEMENT Sometimes, he noted, he’d get the choice right. Surely, there would be other times when he wouldn’t. “Hopefully, I do way more than I don’t,” Finch said this week. Sunday evening, however, was a checkmark in the “not right” column, at least based off the result. The Timberwolves didn’t score in the final 4:47 of their loss to Golden State. Finch said this week that Mike Conley’s inclusion in the closing lineup would’ve added organization to the equation. But he was quick to add that, with the ill-advised shots Anthony Edwards was taking, may not have mattered. ADVERTISEMENT Finch also reiterated what he said after the game, that Nickeil Alexander-Walker was playing “so well,” so he was hesitant to take him off the floor. “Maybe the other thing I could’ve done was go small,” Finch said, “but we’ve not really done that a ton.” That was the cry of many Wolves’ followers on social media on Sunday. Minnesota has proven rather inept at late-game offense when Conley isn’t on the floor. But all recognized Alexander-Walker had also earned the opportunity to close. You certainly won’t take Edwards off the floor in those situations, and the Wolves wanted Jaden McDaniels on the floor to guard Steph Curry. That left Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert as the only options to take off the court in favor of Conley, and that would’ve left Minnesota small. And, as Finch noted, the Wolves simply haven’t gone small this season. Like, at all. None of Naz Reid, Randle or Gobert have played more than 17 minutes this season without another big man next to him. ADVERTISEMENT It’s not something the Wolves practice, either. McDaniels said he’s only repped minutes at the four in practice when one of the bigs have been unavailable. Still, Finch said it wasn’t that he was “uncomfortable” rolling out a small-ball look Sunday. “But I worry a lot about rebounding. We struggle to rebound with our bigger lineups, at times. So, I know our smaller lineups have really struggled,” Finch said. “That’s some of the reason not to go small is really rebounding issues. But I think our guys are comfortable playing in all different combinations. But I haven’t really thought about going small, necessarily.” ADVERTISEMENT Indeed, Minnesota is just 12th in the NBA this season in defensive rebounding rate, grabbing 71.3% of opposing missed shots. The glass was especially an issue Sunday, as Golden State grabbed 14 offensive rebounds that led to 19 second-chance points. But it’s worth noting many of those came by guards in situations in which size was no factor on the play. McDaniels said he’s comfortable playing any position, including the power forward slot. And Minnesota certainly has the wing depth to roll out more small ball lineups if the situation ever called for it. There could be a playoff matchup that does just that, though Finch noted it could also go the other direction where the Wolves’ advantage would be to lean bigger. Versatility rules come April and May. But the Wolves don’t seem overly urgent to trot out any small-ball looks just to see how they perform at this juncture in the campaign. ADVERTISEMENT “Usually, it’s better with Naz at the four (than me),” McDaniels said. There is, however, at least one proponent of doing a little experimenting: Conley. “I think (small ball) kind of promotes a different level of spacing and speed to the game. You’re going to have to rely on guard-guard situations, guard pick and rolls,” Conley said. “Maybe me setting the screen and roll, Just creating different advantages for ourselves, as opposed to our typical offense or typical flow of things. I would love to see it, maybe — see how it works.” ADVERTISEMENT ______________________________________________________ This story was written by one of our partner news agencies.

Alex Ovechkin is expected to miss 4 to 6 weeks with a broken left leg
The stealth symptoms of killer diseases you might spot in loved ones this ChristmasSANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — After three straight losses, including back-to-back blowouts , the San Francisco 49ers needed a get-right game. The Chicago Bears helped provide just that. Brock Purdy carved up Chicago's defense to lead San Francisco to its best offensive output of the season and the defense dominated the Bears in a 38-13 win Sunday that looked a lot more like the team that went to the Super Bowl last season than the one that has struggled in 2024. “I think just the biggest thing was just getting some energy and momentum,” Purdy said. “This league is hard. It’s tough. If you don’t have momentum or energy and belief within a building, it can be really tough.” The problem for San Francisco (6-7) is it might be too late to salvage its playoff hopes. Three blown fourth-quarter leads to division rivals and the lopsided losses at Green Bay and Buffalo the previous two weeks leave the Niners two games out of the playoffs with only four games to go. They might need to win out to get back to the postseason for a fourth straight season, and even then they could need some help because their three division losses will make it tough to win any tiebreakers in the tightly packed NFC West. “If we win every single game, I think we’ve put ourselves in a very good position to either win the division or somehow sneak our way into playoff contention,” tight end George Kittle said. “I thought everyone’s focused on this one week. ... Forget the whole season whether you’ve played like crap the entire season, whether you’ve had missed opportunities, or whether you have a bunch of touchdowns. Whatever it is, flush all that and just focus on this one game.” What’s working Big plays. The Niners repeatedly gashed the Bears for big plays as the passing game looked as good as it has all season. Purdy had eight completions go for at least 20 yards — tied for the most in any game for the 49ers since at least 1991 — with Kittle catching four of them, Isaac Guerendo two and one each for Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings. What needs help Kickoffs. Jake Moody attempted two line-drive kicks as San Francisco tried to pin Chicago deep instead of allowing a touchback. But both kicks landed shy of the landing zone at the 20, giving the Bears the ball at the 40. Stock up DL Yetur Gross-Matos. The Niners have been struggling to generate a pass rush with Nick Bosa sidelined, but Gross-Matos made a big impact on Sunday. He had a career-high three sacks in the game after coming into the game with just one this season. Stock down S Ji'Ayir Brown. The second-year safety lost his starting job with the return of Talanoa Hufanga from a wrist injury. Brown played 15 defensive snaps in a spot role and was beat on a TD pass to Rome Odunze in his limited action. Injuries Guerendo has a sprained foot and will be evaluated later this week to see if he can play. ... OL Ben Bartch will likely go on IR after suffering a high ankle sprain Sunday. ... LB Dre Greenlaw could return this week for the first time since tearing his Achilles tendon in the Super Bowl. ... DL Nick Bosa (hip, oblique) and LT Trent Williams (ankle) will be evaluated this week but there is no timeline on when they will return. ... LG Aaron Banks cleared the concussion protocol and should play this week. ... LB Dee Winters (ankle), S Malik Mustapha (chest, shoulder) and LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles are day-to-day. Key number 305 — The 49ers outgained the Bears by 305 yards in the first half for the ninth best advantage in a first half since at least 1991. The 319 yards for San Francisco were the most by any team in a first half this season and the 4 yards allowed were the fewest. What’s next The 49ers host the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night.

'Conspiracy, mob attack': Govt slams PTI over 'illegal' protest in Islamabad PTI leaders courting arrests to avoid participation in "so-called final call" protest, says Attaullah Tarar The federal ministers termed the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's "final call" protest a "conspiracy against the country's peace and economic progress, saying that such "illegal" activities would be dealt with iron hand. During his visit to different areas in Islamabad on Sunday, Information Minister Ataullah Tarar said that as per information came from Punjab and Islamabad, most of the former ruling party's top and low tiers leaders were voluntarily surrendering to the police for their arrest to avoid participation in the “so-called final call” protest. "One thing is pretty clear that the PTI's leadership does not want a release of their leader [Imran Khan] from the jail," he added. He said the PTI had only one demand which was to get an NRO-like concession for the release of their leader from the jail, but the government cannot do anything in this regard. This is the domain of the courts where the PTI is supposed to argue and fight for the release of their leader who has been facing different charges, he added. "Life in Islamabad is normal as people are taking strolls in parks and children are playing various sports at different places, but some major highways have been closed to maintain law and order in the city," he noted. He held the PTI responsible for the roads’ closure and inflicting financial damage to traders and businessmen. The PTI did not only want to derail the economy but was also hell-bent on damaging the foreign relations of Pakistan with friendly countries. Tarar said the PTI had a track record of creating chaos and anarchy, and vandalising public properties. He added the PTI had orchestrated the May 9 arson and vandalised the sensitive installations and memorials of martyrs, just to create chaos and anarchy. "Our responsibility is to ensure security in Islamabad," he said, adding the miscreants would be dealt with iron hands. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said that strict action will be taken against miscreants in accordance with the law and assured that the government has taken all possible measures to protect the lives and property of citizens. Naqvi conducted an aerial visit to Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and Attock to review security arrangements in the three cities. He added that the administration, police, and law enforcement agencies are prepared to deal with any possible situation. In a separate press conference at the federal capital’s D-Chowk, the minister vowed action against "miscreants", adding that the police have arrested a number of protesters from the Faizabad interchange. He claimed that the PTI protesters tried to gather at the route designated for the Belarus president's convoy who is due to arrive in Islamabad on Monday (tomorrow). Defence Minister Khawaja Asif also warned the PTI that any violent protests would be met with a firm response as the state will not permit any illegal mob to attack Islamabad. Islamabad has been placed on high alert, with the government warning of zero tolerance for violent mobs, he added. Talking to a private news channel, the defence czar expressed disappointment that the PTI tends to protest whenever a foreign leader announces to visit Pakistan, adding that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Ali Amin Khan Gandapur should focus on improving the law and order situation in the province. "Both government and military leadership are jointly moving the country forward," Asif stated. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar questioned PTI's repeated calls for strikes, terming them as a well-thought out conspiracy against the country's prestige. He said that the party had always announced its protests at a time when important global personalities were on their visits to Pakistan. Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal also slammed the former ruling party, saying that people have rejected the elements making calls for protests and sit-ins repeatedly and today's show of the PTI will also fail. Addressing a press conference in Lahore today, the minister said no one would be allowed to take the law into their own hands and the miscreants would be dealt strictly. The ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader said that the PTI founder has been sentenced by courts, and he can only be released through legal way and not through any sit-in and protest. Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Amir Muqam criticised the Imran Khan-founded party, saying that the PTI does the politics of protests and chaos and remains indifferent to people’s problems. In a news conference in Islamabad today, he said the law and order situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has become precarious but the provincial government is spending the province's resources on protest demonstrations. Muqam said the former ruling party’s apathy towards the security situation in Kurram is unfortunate and the people have rejected PTI's call for protest.

December 12, 2024 This article has been reviewed according to Science X's editorial process and policies . Editors have highlightedthe following attributes while ensuring the content's credibility: fact-checked trusted source proofread by Jodi Heckel, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign The Midwest played a central role in the growth of Black freedom movements in the 20th century. It was a key site for incubating and expanding the ideas of political activist Marcus Garvey, not only in the U.S., but globally, said University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign professor of African American studies and history Erik S. McDuffie. McDuffie examined the influence of Garvey and the importance of the Midwest in the growth of Black internationalism and radicalism in his new book, " The Second Battle for Africa: Garveyism, the U.S. Heartland and Global Black Freedom ." McDuffie said the book is deeply personal and tied to his family history and Midwestern roots. He grew up in suburban Cleveland in a family that was interested in history, politics and global events and that hailed from St. Kitts, Canada and the U.S. His great-grandfather was a Garveyite who once introduced Garvey at a 1923 Detroit rally. Garvey, who grew up in Jamaica around the turn of the 20th century, campaigned for the self-determination and autonomy of Black people, the end of colonial rule in Africa, race pride and connections between Africa and the African diaspora. His ideas emerged at a time of global upheaval following World War I. He founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which claimed 6 million members worldwide in the 1920s and was the largest Black protest movement in history at that time. "Garveyism is the most potent social, political, cultural and spiritual force in the Black world from the early 20th century forward. So many movements, formations and institutions across the African world—not just the Midwest and the U.S., but in the Caribbean, Africa and beyond—directly or indirectly were inspired by Garveyism," McDuffie said. "You can't talk about Black people in the 20th century without talking about Garvey." The Midwest was particularly suited for its role as a hub of Black political activism, McDuffie said. He described the region as "the dialectic of opportunity and oppression." Black people viewed the North as a promised land where they could be free from slavery. They could vote. Midwest cities were manufacturing centers, with automobile plants, steel mills and rubber plants bringing millions of people from around the world to work in those industries. Black men could earn higher wages than they could find elsewhere, McDuffie said. "What makes it distinct is the way Black people found unique political and economic opportunities that they couldn't find anywhere else in the world," he said. Their political and economic power helped make the UNIA branches in Midwestern cities some of the largest and most influential in the world, with Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland particularly important, McDuffie wrote. Chicago became the site of Johnson Publishing Company and Third World Press Foundation, important publishers of Black literature, magazines and news, and Malcolm X College. At the same time, the Midwest was the site of virulent racial oppression and violence, with lynchings, Ku Klux Klan activity, laws restricting the freedoms of Black citizens and a white settler colonialism perspective, McDuffie said.

"These forces came together, and then Garvey was talking about race pride, self-determination and a free Africa. It helped radicalize Black people in unique and important ways," he said. The politics of some Black nationalists embraced Black settler colonialism in Africa, anticommunism, capitalism and heteropatriarchy. They at times collaborated with white supremacists on their common ground of separation of the races and colonization of Liberia for Black people who wanted to live freely in Africa, McDuffie said. While some of Garvey's ideas leaned toward the right wing, they transcend the ideological spectrum of Black thinking, McDuffie said. Many activists inspired by Garvey rejected those ideas for more leftist views. "Most people appreciated how he inspired pride, encouraged them to build institutions and advance autonomy, and his anticolonial message," McDuffie said. Women played a critical role in grassroots community work and in leadership roles in the UNIA, and they promoted the empowerment of Black women. McDuffie wrote about the influence of Louise Little, the mother of Malcolm X who was born in Grenada and later lived in Nebraska and Michigan. She was instrumental in cultivating a Black radical perspective in her children and laid the foundation for the work of Malcolm X, who maintained a lifelong connection to the Midwest, particularly Detroit, McDuffie said. He also wrote about James Stewart, who succeeded Garvey as UNIA president-general and moved its headquarters to Cleveland, then later to Liberia. Garveyism inspired independence campaigns in Africa and the Caribbean. It inspired new movements, including Rastafarianism and the Nation of Islam, which was founded in Detroit. Garveyism also was critical to shaping the Civil Rights and Black Power movements, McDuffie said. The continuing impact of Garveyism is seen today in the field of African American studies, which was established as the result of activism in the 1960s and '70s, and in the Black Lives Matter movement, he said. "It's not accidental that Ferguson, Missouri, and Minneapolis were the sites where Black Lives Matter truly went global, given the unique intersections between opportunity and structural violence against Black people," McDuffie said. "There's a tendency among scholars to erase the Midwest when talking about the global African diaspora. I really want to emphasize the importance of the Midwest in shaping 20th-century Black life."
