Missoulian week in review: Local news recap for Dec. 21-27The FTSE 100 rose slightly on Wednesday, led higher by retail and property stocks, as a gauge of US inflation favoured by the Federal Reserve showed prices rising faster. London’s blue-chip index rose 16.14 points, or 0.20%, to end the day at 8,274.75. The gains followed a report that indicated US inflation sped up in October versus a year ago, supporting a more cautious approach taken by Federal Reserve policymakers. The measure showed consumer prices rose 2.3% in October from a year earlier, the US Commerce Department said. Kathleen Brooks, of trading firm XTB, said: “US traders can pack up for the Thanksgiving holiday with little to fear at this stage.” She added that the data “suggests that the Fed is right to tread a careful path when it comes to rate cuts, but it continues to support a gradual easing in Fed policy”. The data seemed to help the UK index, which rose after the US markets opened, with property stocks including Vistry and LondonMetric in the lead. It comes after markets reacted poorly to President-elect Donald Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China the day before. At the end of the day in Europe Frankfurt’s Dax index fell 0.18%, while the Cac 40 in Paris fell 0.72%.

The company said it had considered the impact of having a main market listing in Amsterdam and a secondary listing in London. It cited the “administrative burden, complexity and costs” associated with keeping its shares in London for its decision to quit, as well as low liquidity and trading volumes of its shares. Just Eat shares fell 2.89% on the news. Meanwhile, luxury car maker Aston Martin alerted over profits for the second time in as many months and tapped investors for more cash.

A newly-leaked internal Ministry of Health report appears to show more than 200 communities across Ontario do not have family doctors who are taking on new patients, a fact Ford government critics have jumped upon. The internal report, leaked to the Ontario Liberals on Wednesday and published by the party, shows 205 Ontario communities don’t have family doctors taking on new patients, and also reveals more than 2,000 physicians are likely to retire over the next five years. Ontario Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie said the new figures suggest the province’s family doctor shortage is worse than the Ford government has been willing to admit. “It says the situation is far worse and getting worse each and every day,” Crombie told reporters. “This is something that we should have been planning for for six years now... they don’t have a plan to take care of it.” Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones said plans were already in place to increase access to primary care and family doctors, even if there is a surge in retirements. “That is exactly why we have made the investments that we are,” she told reporters. “Expanding access to medical schools, expanding the number of seats, expanding the number of medical schools in Ontario.” The report also lists a range of municipalities where family doctors are not taking on new patients, with many located in parts of rural and northern Ontario. It reveals that just under half of the communities in the province, but not necessarily half the population, don’t have access to a new family doctor. “It’s like the Hunger Games out there, in communities all across Ontario, who are trying to fight over attracting family physicians,” Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles said. “You can’t attract a family physician to a community when you don’t have adequate housing and schools and infrastructure for those folks. So this is a government that is failing on so many fronts.” The data doesn’t necessarily mean the 205 communities don’t have access to any kind of primary care, but rather that family doctors are not taking on new patients. Nurse practitioners or walk-in clinics could be available where family doctors are not. Jones admitted the province is struggling to get doctors into parts of Ontario but said a plan was in place to ultimately fix the problem. “There is always an additional challenge when you’re recruiting individuals in more rural and remote communities,” she said. “But those are the programs that we have in place to ensure that as individuals practice and choose to practice in northern Ontario, they have additional funding. Because we understand that it becomes more challenging in northern communities and remote and rural communities.” Ontario Liberal health critic Adil Shamji, however, said the government needs to ensure that people training as family doctors go on to work in the profession. “We also need to improve the circumstances that family doctors are working in so that when they graduate, they don’t go off to practice anesthesia or emergency medicine or sports medicine,” he said. “And then we need to make sure that those doctors are incentivized and supported not just to work in Toronto, Ottawa and Hamilton, but to work in these 205 municipalities in counties that don’t have a single doctor that’s rostering patients.” Jones said that, along with plans to train more doctors, a move to other forms of primary care and health teams would help close the gap geographically and if more doctors retire. The primary care team model, the minister said, can be better than a family doctor in the long run. “Frankly, it is what clinicians and patients want,” Jones said. “They don’t just want a phone number (and someone to say), ‘Go somewhere else to learn about your diagnosis of diabetes.’ They want to sit down and have those deeper conversations with a dietitian, with nurse practitioners, with an RN so that they can understand what that diagnosis is and what the impacts are for their families.”
Last year, Donald Trump Jr.’s longtime fiancee Kimberly Guilfoyle was his proud date to Donald Trump’s annual Christmas celebration at Mar-a-Lago. This year, Guilfoyle was replaced at the Mar-a-Lago holiday festivities by Trump Jr.’s new girlfriend, Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson, the Daily Mail reported . Unfortunately for the new lovers, some Trump family allies and insiders are not happy about Anderson’s quick ascension into the family orbit, the Daily Mail also is reporting. The 37-year-old model and influencer was photographed seated next to Trump Jr. at the Christmas Eve dinner table, near the president-elect and his wife Melania Trump. Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner and their three children also attended the Christmas Eve dinner, Page Six reported . Some of the allies and insiders have told the Daily Mail that Anderson “isn’t MAGA enough,” while two friends of Trump Jr. expressed concern that she’s essentially a shallow influencer and “social climber” who is using Trump’s oldest son to snag an even wealthier and more powerful romantic target — someone like billionaire Elon Musk. “It’s one thing to worry about Palm Beach shenanigans making a stop at Mar-a-Lago,” a source close to the Trump transition team told the Daily Mail. “But to let those problems penetrate the White House is a new level of trouble.” The source appears to be referring to what the Daily Mail said was an “open secret” simmering in Palm Beach circles in the late summer and fall — how 46-year-old Trump Jr. had begun “fooling around” with the younger, Anderson, even while he was still engaged to 55-year-old Guilfoyle, a MAGA firebrand and top Trump campaign fundraiser. Rumors about Trump Jr.’s dalliance with Anderson began in September when images emerged of the couple kissing and cuddling while dining at a restaurant near Mar-a-Lago. Earlier this month, Trump Jr.’s relationship with the 37-year-old Anderson gained public recognition, after Trump announced that he was nominating Guilfoyle to be his ambassador to Greece. Guilfoyle’s nomination was seen by some political observers as a way that Trump could reward the former Fox News host for her political loyalty, while nudging her out of his “immediate sphere” and sending her off to Europe so that his son could openly pursue his new relationship with Anderson. At the time, sources close to Trump Jr. told People that he had became tired of his six-year relationship with Guilfoyle , the former first lady of San Francisco and ex-wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom-turned Trump loyalist. For one thing, Trump Jr. didn’t like Guilfoyle’s “style,” including her “tight dresses.” He felt that Anderson, with her honey-blonde hair and “Waspy” model looks, would “impress” his father and perhaps make her a more ideal romantic partner. “Don Jr. has always wanted to look good in his father’s eyes,” the political source told People. Apparently, Anderson’s more natural, fun-loving style also was more to Trump Jr.’s taste these days, especially as he saw that she could become his “own Melania Trump equivalent,” a source told People. “She is a party girl, and outgoing, and Don is smitten with her,” a Palm Beach source told People. “Bettina is smart, sexy and savvy and knows it. She likes to have fun,” another source added. “Who knows what, if anything, will come from this.” Trump family members also got tired of Guilfoyle’s attention-seeking ways. Sources told People and the Daily Mail that they expected that Guilfoyle knew about Trump Jr.’s affair with Anderson, but chose “to look the other way because she loves the power and lifestyle.” Once Trump Jr. felt he could shed his public association with Guilfoyle, he began to “flaunt” his romance with Anderson, being photographed holding hands with her during a dinner date with her in Palm Beach in December, the Daily Mail reported. After Trump announced that he wanted to send Guilfoyle to Greece, Trump Jr. and Anderson jetted off to Italy for a romantic getaway, the Daily Mail reported. Anderson also publicly posted photos of love letters and flowers sent to her from Trump Jr., and openly documented their European vacation. Someone described as a “close, personal friend” of Trump Jr. told the Daily Mail that he wasn’t concerned about Anderson. He said he expected there would “be gossip and trash talking, just because that’s kind of the world of Palm Beach and, you know, the universe they live in.” If Trump Jr. has heard any concerns about Anderson, he hasn’t let this friend know, according to the Daily Mail. Stacey Bendet, a fashion designer and close friend of Anderson’s, expressed dismay that her friend had become the target of social-climber rumors. “I have been friends with Bettina for a decade, she is the kindest soul, she has the biggest heart, she is witty and wise, hilariously funny, and an Ivy League grad — anyone who says a word otherwise is just another societal example of women fixating on competing verse empowering,” said Bendet, CEO of Alice + Olivia, in a text to the Daily Mail. Anderson has been seen at Alice + Olivia events over the years, the Daily Mail reported. Bendet added in her text: “Don adores her for good reasons!” However, some Trump family allies feel very differently about Anderson and are “doing everything they can” do to get Trump Jr. to end their relationship, the Daily Mail reported. Someone who worked for the Trump campaign the last five years told the Daily Mail that Trump Jr. is “slowly” starting to “wake up” to how Anderson is perceived in MAGA circles. Allies question her MAGA loyalty because of her previous support for the Black Lives Matters movement and her adherence to COVID-19 lockdown rules, the Daily Mail reported. But they also wonder about her “notorious party girl reputation in Palm Beach,” which they think somehow isn’t “highbrow enough” to be associated with the Trump family, the Daily Mail also said. Someone who works in the modeling business and who has known Anderson for years speculated to the Daily Mail that she’s using Trump Jr. as a stepping stone and would prefer to date someone like Musk. People who’ve known Anderson in Palm Beach also told the Daily Mail that she regularly dates wealthy older men. Even though Musk already is the world’s richest man, he stands to gain even more power in the incoming Trump administration, according to critics of both Musk and Trump. These critics note that the billionaire SpaceX founder donated at least a quarter of a billion dollars to support Trump’s campaign, and he’s been rewarded by becoming a regular presence at Trump’s side since his Nov. 5 victory. Musk now is on tap to lead the new DOGE agency, whose purported mission is to drastically reduce federal government spending and “waste.”VADUZ , Liechtenstein , Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- xMoney Global , the global, inter-bank and cross crypto /fiat integrated payments platform has appointed award-winning economist Dr. Greg Siourounis as Co-Founder and CEO.

Website: LinkedIn | Twitter | Blogs | YouTube German Translation Der globale Markt für Tragetaschen soll im Jahr 2024 einen Wert von 1.084,3 Millionen USD erreichen , mit einer beeindruckenden durchschnittlichen jährlichen Wachstumsrate von 4,9 % im Prognosezeitraum. Bis 2034 soll der Markt voraussichtlich 1.756,3 Millionen USD erreichen , angetrieben durch die wachsende Verbrauchernachfrage nach nachhaltigen und vielseitigen Alternativen zu Einweg-Plastiktüten. Da die Umweltbedenken weiter zunehmen, haben zunehmende Vorschriften für die Verwendung von Plastiktüten die Tür für umweltfreundliche Alternativen geöffnet, und Tragetaschen erweisen sich als führende Lösung. Ihre Wiederverwendbarkeit in Kombination mit ihrer Möglichkeit, sie durch Bedrucken individuell zu gestalten, hat Tragetaschen zu einer beliebten Wahl bei umweltbewussten Verbrauchern und Unternehmen gemacht. Tragetaschen sind nicht nur ein funktionales Produkt, sondern auch ein modisches Accessoire. Ihre weitverbreitete Verwendung in der Werbung und zur individuellen Gestaltung hat sie zu einer bevorzugten Option für Unternehmen gemacht, die ihre Markenbildung verbessern möchten, während ihr Status als modisches Statement weiterhin das Interesse der Verbraucher weckt. Den Markt für Tragetaschen verstehen Der Markt für Tragetaschen bezeichnet die Branche, die Tragetaschen herstellt, verkauft und vertreibt. Tragetaschen sind große, oft offene Taschen mit parallelen Griffen, die häufig zum Transport von Lebensmitteln, Büchern oder persönlichen Gegenständen verwendet werden. Sie werden normalerweise aus strapazierfähigen Materialien wie Segeltuch, Baumwolle, Jute oder synthetischen Stoffen hergestellt. Dieser Markt umfasst verschiedene Sektoren wie: Bemühungen zur Eindämmung von Plastiktüten befeuern die steigende Nachfrage nach Tragetaschen Während Regierungen auf der ganzen Welt entschlossene Schritte unternehmen, um den Einsatz von Plastik, insbesondere von Einweg-Plastiktüten, zu reduzieren, zeichnet sich eine deutliche Veränderung des Verbraucherverhaltens ab. Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung von Plastikmüll haben zu einem Anstieg der Beliebtheit umweltfreundlicher Alternativen geführt, und Tragetaschen sind bei den Verbrauchern zur bevorzugten Wahl geworden. Im Jahr 2022 erließ die indische Regierung ein umfassendes Verbot der Verwendung von Einwegplastik, ein Schritt im Einklang mit ihren umfassenderen Umweltzielen. Diese Gesetzgebung hatte erhebliche Auswirkungen auf die Verwendung von Plastiktüten und beschleunigte den Übergang zu nachhaltigen Produkten weiter. Unterdessen meldete das Umweltschutzministerium von Hongkong einen bemerkenswerten Rückgang der weggeworfenen Plastiktüten um 75 %, seit strenge Maßnahmen zur Reduzierung des Plastikmülls umgesetzt wurden. Diese Bemühungen spiegeln sich auch in anderen Regionen wider, wie etwa im Vereinigten Königreich, wo Einzelhändler seit 2014 eine Reduzierung der Plastiktütennutzung um 97 % erreicht haben. Social Media und Prominenteneinfluss sorgen für steigende Nachfrage nach Tragetaschen Die Nachfrage nach Tragetaschen hat deutlich zugenommen, was nicht nur an ihrer Umweltfreundlichkeit und Haltbarkeit liegt, sondern auch an ihrem Aufstieg als modisches Statement. Tragetaschen werden dank der einflussreichen Präsenz von Prominenten und Social-Media-Trends zunehmend als unverzichtbares Modeaccessoire angesehen. Vom Alltagsgebrauch bis zum Luxusartikel der Spitzenklasse: Tragetaschen haben sich über ihre traditionelle Rolle hinaus entwickelt. Modebewusste Verbraucher greifen auf diese vielseitigen Taschen zurück, und Social-Media-Plattformen wie Instagram und TikTok verstärken ihre Attraktivität. Prominente und Influencer haben eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Popularisierung des Trends gespielt und Tragetaschen als Symbol für Funktionalität und Stil präsentiert. Marktstatistik für Tragetaschen nach Ländern „Der Markt für Tragetaschen wächst weiter, angetrieben durch die steigende Nachfrage nach umweltfreundlichen und vielseitigen Accessoires. Da Nachhaltigkeit im Vordergrund steht, entscheiden sich Verbraucher zunehmend für wiederverwendbare Taschen, wodurch Tragetaschen sowohl aus modischen als auch aus praktischen Gründen beliebt werden. Marken profitieren von diesem Trend, indem sie anpassbare und stilvolle Designs anbieten und Tragetaschen zu einem wesentlichen Bestandteil des täglichen Lebens machen“, sagt Ismail Sutaria , leitender Berater für Verpackungen bei Future Market Insights (FMI).
