THIS is the shock moment Cameron Carter-Vickers gave Club Brugge the advantage at Parkhead after a monumental mix up in the first half. Brendan Rodgers' men were on the backfoot throughout the opening period against the Belgian champions. And Brugge eventually found their lead on the 26th minute - without even touching the ball in the build up. It was a howler from the American defender as he passed it into his own net after misjudging his goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel's position. He was given the ball in no-man's land in the Hoops box though after Nicolas Kuhn was forced to play it backwards. The American then tried to lay the ball off to Schmeichel with a first time pass but his goalie was behind him and couldn't prevent it from trickling into the empty net. Celtic fans couldn't believe their eyes when they saw it go in as one punter admitted on social media: "Hands down the worst goal I’ve ever seen us concede, pathetic." Someone else wrote: "Absolutely embarrassing ." While a third said: "That is the worst goal in the history of football ." Carter-Vickers has been Celtic 's stalwart in defence since joining the club initially on loan in 2021. Most read in Champions League But it was Schmeichel and skipper Callum McGregor who took the initiative after the shock opener. The pair could be seen rallying up their team-mates just moments after the goal with a meeting on the park before play got back underway. The Hoops were second best in the first half and the players were well aware of it. Kyogo Furuhashi and Arne Engels both had chances in the first period but it was their opponents who looked on top throughout. And speaking in the TNT Sports studio at half-time, Celtic legends Neil Lennon and Johan Mjallby both admitted that Brugge deserved the lead.

The Importance of Having a Workers' Compensation Lawyer in Arkansas 11-21-2024 10:27 PM CET | Politics, Law & Society Press release from: Cottrell Law Office Rogers, Arkansas - November 20th, 2024 - When an employee is injured on the job, the effects can be overwhelming and far-reaching, impacting nearly every aspect of their life. Physical pain, lost wages, medical bills, and even concerns about job security can add immense stress to an already challenging situation. Workers in Arkansas facing these hardships may find relief through the services of a dedicated workers' compensation lawyer. At Cottrell Law Office, we have spent decades supporting injured Arkansas workers in their fight for the compensation and security they deserve. In Arkansas, employers are legally obligated to support employees who suffer workplace injuries. Employers with three or more employees must subscribe to a workers' compensation program. This insurance will pay medical bills and wage replacement benefits for injured employees. Workers' comp also provides retraining for employees who can't work in the same job after an accident. Arkansas enacted a workers' compensation requirement to protect both employers and employees. You usually can't sue an employer that carries workers' compensation insurance, so having insurance spares the company a costly lawsuit. The types of compensation an employee can seek are also limited. For example, you can't sue for pain and suffering damages. From the employee's side, workman's comp in Arkansas gives confidence that the employee will have basic expenses paid in the event of an injury at work, regardless of fault. Even if the accident resulted from the employee's own negligence, they can receive compensation. However, this straightforward compensation program sometimes presents obstacles. For instance, your employer could try to avoid paying workers' compensation by claiming that you had a preexisting injury or that you weren't acting in the scope of your employment at the time of the accident. They might even try to make you return to work, threaten to fire you or take other unethical action. This is where an experienced workers' compensation lawyer, like the team at Cottrell Law Office, can make a difference. With over 32 years of experience, Wes Cottrell and his team at Cottrell Law Office have helped thousands of injured workers throughout Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kansas.

Through a collaborative approach, he partners closely with his clients, combining his legal expertise with their insights into their unique situations to secure the best possible outcomes.

During a free consultation, our attorneys discuss each client's injury and potential legal options, guiding them through a process that can be complex and intimidating. Our goal is to reduce the burden on injured workers and ensure they understand every available option, ultimately helping them get the compensation they need to recover physically, financially, and emotionally.

This release was published on openPR.It may be the smallest official royal palace in the UK but Kew Palace, nestling in the middle of London’s stunning botanical gardens, packs a mighty punch as the real-life stage for Regency romance, madness and Bridgerton betrayal.

Credit: Getty Images With a history as triumphant and tragic as that of any monarchy worldwide, it’s a building soaked in memories of past lives, which sometimes still leak out from the fabric. “We sometimes hear children running in the corridors even though there’s no-one else here,” says Emma Dearing, the operations manager at Kew Palace. “At other times, there’s the odd smell of tobacco or of a sweet sherberty lemon, possibly from the perfumes the women used to wear. “And I was here in 2022 when the Queen passed away. All the music had been turned off for the mourning period but when we came to check one morning, we could hear music... but the player wasn’t plugged in.” Historic Royal Palaces conservators arrange artefacts and furniture in the Queen’s Boudoir. Credit: Getty Images Kew Palace started out in 1631 as a City of London merchant’s handsome Palladian-style home until it was developed into a royal palace in the 18th Century. Four storeys high, with its exterior painted in a red ochre colour wash, it was used by successive generations of rulers and their families as a weekend country retreat. King George III was no different, taking it as a refuge for himself and his young bride, Queen Charlotte, and, as the years passed, their 15 children. Visits to the palace have surged since Netflix drama Bridgerton became a massive hit around the world. It tells the story of life in that era and how, as George’s demons spiralled him into despair, Charlotte set the social standards and the feckless Prince Regent became ever more powerful. With the show’s fourth season now in production, it seems everyone has been captivated by the story of the royals in one of the most turbulent times in history, and Kew Palace has been the staunch witness to it all.

But this palace has so much atmosphere, and so many personal objects on display, it’s not too difficult to imagine life as it was in the day. The king’s flute is in the first room. He was a man with a tremendous appetite for all the finer things in life – books, music and art. Charlotte’s harpsichord is also there. The two often played together, while a visiting Mozart famously duetted with her. A 1761 portrait of George’s young bride glows on one wall. It was painted before she arrived from Germany as a 17-year-old, considered young, innocent and unworldly enough to make a suitable match. George’s former tutor and close advisor Lord Bute was charged with finding a perfect match. “She had to be not too clever, not too beautiful, not too political and not too outspoken,” says Dearing. “Several young women missed out for saying or doing the wrong thing. “But Charlotte knew to be careful in front of Lord Bute... and she waited until after the marriage to show her true colours.” She certainly turned out to be wise, with their marriage lasting 57 years until her death.

Upstairs, the queen’s boudoir is a sumptuous room, with an elaborate plaster ceiling with figures representing each of the five senses. It’s been decorated according to the snatches of the original furnishings that survived, so now has a lively teal wallpaper, gold and black curtains and thick carpets. It’s here that Charlotte and her maids would spend their time sewing and gossiping. There are also the rooms for all the children, with the girls’ rooms the most fascinating. As females, they were allowed to do little, beyond reading, sewing, walking and playing cards. But there’s also an astonishing large dolls’ house on display, with each of the rooms decorated as they are in the real palace with miniature versions of all the furniture. It’s painstaking work, but it makes you appreciate that, in the absence of little else, this is what the life of a female royal would be. There are plenty of memories of even darker days, too, when George first faltered with a mystery illness in 1788. He took sanctuary in Kew Palace at that time, where he was treated with a mix of leeches, cold baths, laxatives and threats, often being contained in a straitjacket and allowed to do nothing for himself. He recovered a year later, but then descended into what was popularly called “madness” again in 1810. Today, it’s thought it could have been the illness porphyria, a metabolic disorder, or he could have been bipolar. It was then that his son, George IV, took power. The palace was then used by the royals as an elaborate weekender in the midst of the fabulous Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, which was set on the path to becoming one of the world’s foremost gardens by Sir Joseph Banks, who bankrolled Captain Cook’s expedition to Australia and then masterminded transportation to the colony.

She would have known that Kew Palace’s incredible history, and its amazing location – quite apart from the advent of TV streaming – would continue to attract visitors, as a true jewel of London, forever more.

WaFd, Inc (WAFDP) To Go Ex-Dividend on December 31stJimmy Carter once held the highest office in the land — but was just as content in his family home in small town Georgia. At the age of 56, having lost the 1980 election to Ronald Reagan , Jimmy Carter returned to Plains, Georgia , the small town where both he and his wife Rosalynn were born in the 1920s. From the White House , they moved back into the ranch house they built in the city in 1961. That modest home is where Carter peacefully died on Sunday at the age of 100. At the 2020 census, Plains, which to many is only known for being the birthplace of the Carters, had a population of 573. In 2022, the median household income was $36,138. The man Carter snatched the presidency from, Gerald Ford , was the first former president to take advantage of the plentiful opportunities to make money that now come easily to former occupants of the Oval Office. That wasn’t the way of the most humble president. “Carter did the opposite,” presidential historian Michael Beschloss told The Washington Post in 2018. The couple spoke to the paper from the home of their friend Jill Stucky, and the former first couple ate salmon and broccoli casserole on paper plates. The then-94 year-old former president drank ice water from a plastic solo cup and a glass of a “bargain-brand chardonnay,” the paper noted. When Rosalynn Carter died in November 2023, grandson Jason Carter told The New York Times that she once brought Tupperware on a commercial plane and began making sandwiches for her family as well as other passengers. “People were sitting there like, ‘Rosalynn Carter just made me this sandwich!’” he told the paper. “They couldn’t believe it. But she loved people. And she was a cool grandma. She was cool, like, she did tai chi with this sword.” While former presidents often fly on private jets, the Carters flew commercial — more evidence they prefered the humble life, not one of post-presidency fame. On a flight from Washington, D.C., to Atlanta in the summer of 2017, Carter walked the aisle, greeting passengers. Unlike other former presidents such as Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, Carter didn’t make tens of millions of dollars from the private sector. He’s the only president in recent times, apart from former president Donald Trump, who returned to his before-presidency residence. While Trump returned to the glitzy Mar-a-Lago and, at times, Trump Tower, Carter went back to his two-bedroom ranch house assessed at $167,000. Carter told The Post in 2018 that he didn’t want to “capitalize financially on being in the White House.” “I don’t see anything wrong with it, I don’t blame other people for doing it,” he said at the time. “It just never had been my ambition to be rich.” Carter’s White House communications director, Gerald Rafshoon, told The Post that “he doesn’t like big shots, and he doesn’t think he’s a big shot.” Carter was the longest-living president and had the longest post-presidency clocking in at more than four decades. But he also cost less for the U.S. taxpayers than any other ex-president. According to the General Services Administration, the 2023 budget for Carter came in at $496,000, including his pension and miscellaneous expenses. The budgeted numbers for Bill Clinton, George W Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump were all over $1 million. Similarly, Carter’s office cost less than any other ex-president’s. For instance, in 2018, at $115,000, his office — the Carter Center in Atlanta — cost less than half of his fellow ex-presidents’, with Obama’s costing $536,000, Clinton’s $518,000, George W Bush’s $497,000, and George HW Bush’s costing $286,000, the agency stated. Carter could have built an office with living quarters in Atlanta, but he and Rosalynn stayed on a pullout couch for years before installing a Murphy bed. Having only worked for the federal government for four years — his single White House term — and not the required five, he didn’t receive federal retirement health benefits. He said that he received health benefits via Emory University, where he taught for decades. Carter returned to Plains after losing the 1980 election. His peanut business, held in a blind trust while he was in the White House, had a debt of $1 million, and he had to sell it. “We thought we were going to lose everything,” Rosalynn told The Post. Carter wrote 34 books, published between 1975 and 2018. They traced everything from his life and career to his faith, aging, fishing, woodworking and peace in the Middle East. They never fetched as much money as books written by other presidents, but with a pension for former presidents at $230,000 last year, according to the federal government , the Carters lived without having to worry about their finances. In 2018, Trump, a man who rarely misses an opportunity to brag about his wealth, was in the White House. At the time, Carter was asked if he thought a former president would ever live the humble way he did. “I hope so,” the man from Georgia told The Post . “But I don’t know.”LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hannah Hidalgo scored 24 points and No. 6 Notre Dame defeated JuJu Watkins and third-ranked Southern California 74-61 on Saturday in a marquee matchup on the West Coast. Watkins and the Trojans (4-1) fell behind early and were down 21 points in the fourth quarter. She had 24 points, six rebounds and five assists. Hidalgo came out shooting well, hitting 5 of 8 from the floor in the first quarter and had 16 points at the break. She added six rebounds and eight assists. Hidalgo's backcourt mate, Olivia Miles, added 20 points, eight rebounds and seven assists for the Fighting Irish (5-0). Even though Hidalgo outshone her, Watkins’ imprint was all over the game. A documentary about her life aired on NBC leading into the nationally televised game. A buzz arose when Snoop Dogg walked in shortly before tipoff wearing a jacket in USC colors with Watkins' name and number on the front and back. Her sister, Mali, sang the national anthem. Notre Dame: The Irish struck quickly, racing to a 20-10 lead in the opening quarter. Even after cooling off a bit, they never trailed and stayed poised when the Trojans got within three in the second and third quarters. USC: The Trojans were without starting guard Kennedy Smith, whose defense on Hidalgo would have proven valuable. It was announced shortly before tipoff that she had a surgical procedure and will return at some point this season. The Trojans got within three points three times but the Irish remained poised and never gave up the lead. Notre Dame's defense forced the Trojans into 21 turnovers, which led to 22 points for the Irish. Watkins, Kaleigh Heckel and Talia von Oelhoffen had five each. USC was just 1 of 13 from 3-point range Notre Dame plays TCU on Nov. 29 in the Cayman Islands Classic. USC plays Seton Hall in the Women's Acrisure Holiday Invitational on Nov. 27 in Palm Desert, California. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here.
