being super game
Two sides level on points in the top half of the League One standings go head to head as Barnsley play host to Reading on Tuesday evening. The Royals journey to the Oakwell Stadium where they are unbeaten in each of their last 11 visits since December 2008 and will be looking to extend this impressive streak. Barnsley were guilty of a lack of sting at the attacking end of the pitch on Saturday when they suffered a 1-0 defeat against Wigan Athletic at the Oakwell Stadium. After falling behind to Thelo Aasgaard 's 42nd-minute strike, the Tykes fired 16 shots after the break as they searched for a way back into the game but Wigan held their own to see out their fourth league win of the campaign. Prior to that, Barnsley were on a three-game unbeaten run across all competitions, picking up one draw and two wins, including a 3-1 victory over League Two outfit Port Vale in the FA Cup first round on November 2. Darrell Clarke 's men have won seven of their 16 League One matches so far while losing four and claiming five draws to collect 26 points and sit sixth in the standings , level on points with Huddersfield Town, Lincoln City, Bolton Wanderers and Reading. While Barnsley will be looking to find their feet on Tuesday, recent results against the visitors offer little optimism as they have failed to win 17 of the last 20 meetings between the teams, losing 10 and claiming three draws since December 2008. Reading, on the other hand, picked up just their second away win of the season at the weekend as they edged out Peterborough United 2-1 when the sides met at the Weston Homes Stadium. Harvey Knibbs continued his fine form in front of goal as he netted a brace to put the hosts two goals up inside the opening 23 minutes before Emmanuel Fernandez struck in the 96th minute to give the home fans something to cheer. This followed a 3-0 victory over League Two side Newport County at the Select Car Leasing Stadium on November 12, when Knibbs netted on either side of Jayden Wareham 's 75th-minute strike to send Reading into second-place in Group H of the EFL Trophy. With Saturday's result against Peterborough, Ruben Selles 's men are now unbeaten in five of their most recent six League One games — picking up four wins and one draw — a run which has seen them surge into the top half of the table as they look to finish in the top six this season. Reading have won eight of their 15 league matches so far, exactly half of their total tally from last season, when they finished 17th in the standings, level on 53 points with 16th-placed Charlton Athletic and nine points above the drop zone. Barnsley remain without the services of 24-year-old midfielder Josh Benson , who is set to sit out his fifth straight game since coming off injured against Doncaster Rovers in October. Former Cardiff City man Max Watters missed the game against Wigan last against Wigan at the weekend through injury and the 25-year-old is a doubt for the home side. As for Reading, Ghanaian defender Andy Yiadom continues his journey to full fitness since picking up a severe injury in April while fellow countryman Kelvin Abrefa has been ruled out since coming off injured in October's game against Rotherham United. English midfielder Kelvin Ehibhatiom has missed the last six games and is also out of contention for the Royals while Harlee Dean has been sidelined since picking up an injury against Stockport County on October 29. With his brace against Peterborough, Knibbs has now scored five goals in his last three matches and the 25-year-old should lead the visitors' attack once again, alongside Sam Smith and Chen Campbell . Barnsley possible starting lineup: Killip; De Gevigney, Roberts; Earl, O'Keeffe, Phillips, Connell, Russell, Gent, Humphrys; Keillor-Dunn Reading possible starting lineup: Pereira; Craig, Mbengue, Bindon, Dorsett; Elliot, Wing, Savage; Campbell, Smith, Knibbs Barnsley and Reading have enjoyed a solid league campaign so far and find themselves level on points in the top half of the table. While they will be looking to get the better of each other, we predict the spoils will be shared at the Oakwell Stadium.

He was 100 years old and had spent more than a year in hospice care. The Georgia peanut farmer served one turbulent term in the White House before building a reputation as a global humanitarian and champion of democracy. He defeated President Gerald Ford in 1976 promising to restore trust in government but lost to Ronald Reagan four years later amid soaring inflation, gas station lines and the Iran hostage crisis. He and his wife, Rosalynn Carter, then formed The Carter Center, and he earned a Nobel Peace Prize while making himself the most active and internationally engaged of former presidents. The Carter Center said the former president died Sunday afternoon in Plains, Georgia.

Runner's World: Top RBs take flight when Ravens entertain EaglesELON MUSK HAS been accused of censoring far-right accounts that have differing views on immigration to him. The owner of X, formerly Twitter, is in the midst of a row online centred around the United States’ H1-B visas that allow companies to bring foreigners with specific qualifications into the country. The permits are widely used in Silicon Valley, and Musk – who himself came to the United States from South Africa on an H1-B – is a fervent advocate. It’s a major rift among incoming US President Donald Trump’s hardcore backers. It started when Trump named venture capitalist Sriram Krishnan as his adviser on artificial intelligence, triggering a racially charged backlash that brought up Krishnan’s past for green cards for skilled workers. Musk, who bankrolled Trump’s campaign for a second term in office, said bringing in engineering talent from abroad was “essential for America to keep winning”. Vivek Ramaswamy, appointed by Trump as Musk’s co-chair on a new advisory board on government efficiency, suggested that companies prefer foreign workers because they lack an “American culture,” which he said venerates mediocrity. “A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers,” he posted, warning that, without a change in attitude, “we’ll have our asses handed to us by China.” This view has unsurprisingly sparked backlash among some fervent anti-immigration Republicans – a stance embedded in Trump’s presidential campaign. Last night, Musk called some anti-immigration Republicans , adding they were “hateful, unrepentant racists” who would “absolutely be the downfall of the Republican Party if they are not removed”. At least 14 conservative accounts who criticised Musk’s pro-legal immigration views said X revoked their blue tick, a verification badge given to premium account holders, according to Sky News’ US partner NBC News. When Musk bought the site in 2022, so began a marked change in how it operated and the type of views that were promoted. He described it as a policy of “freedom of speech” but not “freedom of reach”, meaning negative posts wouldn’t be banned but would be less likely to appear on feeds. He also said this policy would apply to individual tweets and not entire accounts. Some users say that when they click into posts marked as spam, they are not spam at all, but regular posts. Skepticism over the benefits of immigration is a hallmark of the “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) movement and Musk and his peer’s remarks angered some supporters who accused them of ignoring US achievements in technological innovation. In what appears to be a pointed post, incoming White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller in which Trump marveled at the American “culture” that had “harnessed electricity, split the atom, and gave the world the telephone and the Internet.” It should be noted, however, that it was Englishman Michael Faraday who discovered that an electric current could be produced by passing a magnet through a copper wire and Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealander, who first split the atom. Alexander Graham Bell was a British subject in Canada when he invented the telephone. Trump voiced opposition to H1-B visas during his successful first run for the White House in 2016, calling them “unfair for our workers” while acknowledging that he used foreign labor in his own businesses. He placed restrictions on the system when he took office, but the curbs were lifted by President Joe Biden.

hen Hurricane Helene slammed into Florida’s shoulder earlier this fall, it brought the largest storm surge ever recorded in the area. The storm had formed just four days earlier as a tropical depression, but when it made landfall, it was already a Category 4 storm, lashing the Tampa Bay area with savage winds and rain, flooding and laying waste to whole communities. Two weeks later, Hurricane Milton deepened the tragedy when it hit the Florida peninsula, unleashing catastrophic flooding and 100-mile-per-hour gusts, killing multiple people, and breaking meteorological records. Climate scientists have been warning for years that climate change will—and already is—supercharging storms broadly speaking. But connecting specific rates of warming to the ferocity of specific storms was out of reach. Now a team of scientists has developed a model that, for the first time, allows them to calculate how warming ocean temperatures have contributed directly to wind speeds in individual hurricanes. Using this model, they were able to determine, for instance, that climate change bumped Hurricane Rafael earlier this month up two whole categories (from 1 to 3) and pushed another two hurricanes this year into category 5, the highest category, in which wind speeds exceed 157 mph. “It’s really the evolution of our science on sea surface temperature attribution that has allowed this work to take place,” Daniel Gilford, an atmospheric scientist with the independent nonprofit research outfit Climate Central and the lead author of said in a press briefing. Gilford and his colleagues found that due to higher sea surface temperatures, maximum wind speeds were 19 mph higher on average in 84 percent of the hurricanes in the north Atlantic that occurred between 2019 and 2023, and, according to an additional analysis, most as well—enough to elevate them an entire category on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Moreover, global warming caused wind speeds in three of the hurricanes to course roughly 34 mph faster than they would have otherwise. When storms double their wind speed, they can cause 256 times as much damage. To make these calculations, Gilford and his team first determined how much cooler the surface of the sea would be without human-induced climate change. “Climate models and observations are both showing us that, in a world without climate change, temperatures would be somewhere between 2 to 3 degrees Fahrenheit cooler,” Gilford said. Because the intensity of a hurricane is determined foremost by the temperature of the seas over which it passes, Gilford and team used the pre-warming sea surface temperatures to determine the maximum wind speeds that any particular hurricane theoretically would have reached without climate change. From there, they used statistical relationships gleaned from past hurricane seasons to estimate what the wind speeds might have been without warming. They could then compare these numbers against the speeds that were actually recorded to determine how much climate change likely ramped up the intensity. Friederike Otto, a climatologist with World Weather Attribution, a nonprofit research group based in the United Kingdom, who wasn’t involved in Gilford’s study but who does work with Climate Central, says the methodology the scientists used looks solid. She has done similar work using to determine how climate change has also increased the amount of rainfall that hurricanes cause. “We now have a lot of observations and many years of data where we see these changes.” Gilford knows firsthand how hurricanes affect people’s lives. A tree fell on his family’s home in central Florida during Hurricane Jeanne in 2004, which he said catalyzed his current career. Today, he lives in Orlando, and hurricanes continue to impact his life year after year. “I care a lot about this problem,” Gilford said in a press briefing about his study, “and we should care about this problem because hurricanes are changing.” Jumps in category strength carry tremendous hazards. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the potential damages caused by a storm increase exponentially—by a power of eight—with increases in wind speed. So, for example, when storms double their wind speed, they can . The new study does more than just reveal how climate change has worsened major hurricanes to date. It provides a method that scientists can use in the future to say, in near-real time, how global warming is affecting a specific, singular cyclone. This should help communities not only prepare for the supercharged storms that are becoming more standard fare, but also to better understand the critical connections between those storms and the forces of climate change.
