Lopsided loss to SMU leaves UVA with one last shot at bowl eligibilitySTRICTLY Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell has hit back at criticism from the judges, which saw her tear up on screen. Strictly Come Dancing professional Dianne Buswell reacted to some negative criticism from the judges after she and partner Chris McCausland finished their quickstep to 'Anything Goes'. Their dance received a standing ovation from the audience but came under fire from the judges including Craig Revel Horwood , who picked out issues with Chris' posture. Yet after the judges had made their comments, Dianne leapt to her partner's defence as she gave an emotional speech praising Chris. Speaking in the Clauditorium, Aussie dancer Dianne said: "Posture, I totally agree and I am so thankful to the judges for all their constructive criticism." Comedian Chris joked: "Are you? I'm not!" More on Strictly Come Dancing Dianne laughed and then continued: "We musn't forget that for 20 odd years that Chris's safe space has been down here, so for him to stand up actually makes me quite emotional. "It's a big thing that we've overcome, and you've done so well." Dianne's tearful defence didn't go unnoticed by viewers either as one wrote on social media: "Dianne has made me emotional talking about how much Chris has improved in the competition. You can tell they have the best friendship and love seeing it on the dance floor each week." Another shared: "What Chris and Dianne do week in week out is astonishing!" Most read in News TV Other viewers also defended Chris and Dianne as one raged: "I am livid with Chris and Dianne scores. Strictly is and should be an inclusive and equal show, which is why Chris is there. "Treating him with equity is completely missing. What he and Dianne have achieved is phenomenal." A third said: "Stop judging Chris on the same level as those who can see. "He is INCREDIBLE and Dianne is a genius. That was a bloody 40." The comments come after last week Dianne was moved to tears alongside her father after her parents travelled from Australia to see her perform. The pro's mum and dad, Rina and Mark, were left crying after their daughter's performance as it was revealed i t is the first time in seven years the couple had been able to make it over to the UK to see her compete in the competition. Prior to the performance, in a clip from their rehearsals this week, Dianne and Chris spoke to her parents and how much dance meant to the Australian pro. Mark admitted he didn't know the difference between a lot of the dances, joking: "Nah, I was too busy working paying for lessons!" READ MORE SUN STORIES Acknowledging her incredible efforts for everything she's achieved with Chris, who has been dazzling audiences as the show's first blind contestant, Rina told Dianne: "It just blows me away every single week. "To be here for this amazing moment is pretty special."

EXTO Listing Banner To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8831/231949_79d5b079c4222ba6_001full.jpg The digital finance industry has seen rapid growth in recent years, with the emergence of new technologies reshaping how individuals and institutions engage with financial assets. The rise of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies has provided greater opportunities for decentralized financial systems, offering more autonomy and security to users. However, while the digital asset space holds immense promise, it is also marked by volatility and uncertainty. As a result, investors are constantly seeking innovative ways to diversify their portfolios, manage risks, and ensure stable returns. Staking, crowdfunding, and asset management solutions have gained popularity as tools for navigating these challenges, offering transparent, community-driven platforms where users can earn rewards based on their contributions. The EXTO+ project enters this ecosystem as an innovative solution, combining the best aspects of staking, crowdfunding, and blockchain technology to provide a sustainable growth path for digital assets. EXTO+: Empowering Investors with Stable Returns through Blockchain Staking and Crowdfunding The EXTO+ (Exchange Token Plus) project is a cutting-edge initiative designed to bridge the gap between digital asset management and community-driven funding, utilizing blockchain technology to provide transparency and efficiency. By integrating the concepts of staking and crowdfunding, EXTO+ offers a platform that allows users to participate directly in the growth of various projects. In return, they receive rewards based on the success and performance of these ventures. The project’s key objective is to deliver a long-term growth strategy for digital assets while mitigating the risks associated with market volatility. By providing users with the ability to invest in a diverse range of projects, EXTO+ aims to enhance global accessibility, broaden investment opportunities, and drive widespread adoption of blockchain-powered asset management solutions. Through its innovative staking mechanism and robust tokenomics, EXTO+ aims to create a sustainable and thriving ecosystem. EXTO+ operates on the BNB blockchain and utilizes the BEP-20 token standard for its digital asset transactions. This widely recognized standard ensures high compatibility with various wallets and exchanges, making EXTO tokens easily accessible and tradable. At the core of EXTO+ is its staking mechanism, which allows users to lock their tokens for a specified period to earn rewards. This process incentivizes long-term participation, ensuring the network’s stability and contributing to the project’s growth. Staking rewards are directly tied to the performance of projects supported by the staked tokens, offering investors the opportunity to generate steady returns while actively contributing to blockchain-based initiatives. EXTO+’s staking pool also features a flexible reward structure, where rewards are distributed based on the success of the underlying projects. If the yield falls short of a predetermined benchmark, investors still receive a minimum return, but if the project outperforms expectations, the reward payout increases accordingly. A key strength of EXTO+ is its emphasis on community involvement, where investors are not passive but actively engaged in the projects they support. This creates an alignment of interests between project teams and investors, fostering long-term collaboration and trust. The decentralized decision-making process allows users to shape the future of digital finance while benefiting from diverse investment opportunities that cater to different risk appetites. By combining staking with crowdfunding, EXTO+ offers a low-cost, efficient capital-raising mechanism that contrasts with traditional financial systems, which often involve expensive intermediaries. This opens up funding opportunities for small and mid-sized projects across various industries, benefiting both creators and investors. Built with a strong focus on security, EXTO+ ensures that all transactions are transparent and recorded on the blockchain, with smart contracts audited by security experts to safeguard user funds.

With a total supply capped at 1 billion tokens, the majority of the token supply (84%) is used as profit dividends. This allocation ensures that the platform can scale effectively while rewarding early participants. Additional portions of the token supply are set aside for marketing, promotional activities, and rewarding the project’s team and advisors. This strategic tokenomics model aims to create a thriving ecosystem that benefits all stakeholders, from early investors to project developers, ensuring both growth and sustainability.

After just 30 seconds, midfielder Gregore, one of Botafogo's best players, hit the head of Fausto Vera with his foot and was given a straight red card. Winger Luiz Henrique scored first in the 35th minute from close range, and was fouled for the penalty shot converted by Alex Telles in the 44th. Eduardo Vargas headed Mineiro's only goal in the 46th while Junior Santos, the top scorer in the Copa Libertadores with 10 goals, capped Botafogo's historic night with the third in injury time. Brazil was assured of a sixth consecutive Copa Libertadores title and its 24th in history, just one less than Argentina. It was also the third straight title for Rio de Janeiro clubs, after Fluminense in 2023 and Flamengo in 2022. Despite sensationally losing Gregore, Botafogo reset and Luiz Henrique scored the opener. Henrique surged on the right flank and crossed to Marlon Freitas, who took a shot that was deflected. Henrique was in the right place to strike through the legs of goalkeeper Ederson. Henrique and Ederson met again near the end of the first half when the striker surprised the keeper on the edge of the box. A penalty was given after a video review and left back Telles calmly slotted the ball. Mineiro came back with a more aggressive formation in the second half and was rewarded when veteran Hulk took a corner kick and Vargas, who replaced midfielder Gustavo Scarpa during the break, didn’t even need to jump to score with his head. Mineiro had more chances to equalize through Deyverson in the 53rd, Hulk in the 56th, and Vargas in the 86th and 88th, all from close range. But it was Botafogo’s Júnior Santos, who was sidelined by injury during the Copa, who scored the last goal. Botafogo coach Arthur Jorge joined Portuguese compatriots Jorge Jesus (Flamengo, 2019) and Abel Ferreira (Palmeiras, 2020 and 2021) as European coaches with a Copa Libertadores title. Mineiro's Gabriel Milito missed the chance to be the first Argentine to win the tournament with a Brazilian club. Botafogo also gave American owner John Textor his biggest trophy yet. Textor has been subject to criticism after unproven allegations about match-fixing when Botafogo squandered a 13-point lead last year and missed out on the league title. Next week, his team could win its first Brazilian title since 1995. Botafogo was relegated from the league in 2020 but has risen to prominence again with Textor’s investment. He was part of a wave of foreign owners who came into Brazilian soccer after a 2021 law change paved the way for private investors. Mineiro also has wealthy owner in Brazilian billionaire Rubens Menin, a construction mogul. AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer

Activate your Online Access Now Article content “This is a good news budget for the emergency and protective services that we offer our citizens, and it responds to a number of matters that we have been clear about throughout the year,” he said. The draft budget includes the 10 new bylaw officers to deal with increased call volumes, to improve response times and to support business licensing and property standards enforcement. Municipal bylaw officers respond to complaints about parking, noise, property standards and animal control. Roger Chapman, the city’s director of the bylaw and regulatory services, said property standards and short-term rental enforcement would be priority areas. Ottawa’s shot-term rentals bylaw kicked in on April 1, 2022. Under that bylaw, someone who wants to rent out their primary residence must apply for a two-year permit from the city at a cost of $110. A short-term rental is defined as a home rented out for less than 30 consecutive nights. “I think it’s fair to say that we could never have anticipated the workload during the development of that bylaw,” Chapman told the committee on Nov. 21.

Article content The city has issued about 1,000 short-term rental permits since the bylaw’s introduction and currently has about 500 pending permits, Chapman said. “We have also removed 1,000 listings from the platforms, which is very important,” he said. “These are hosts who have put a listing on the platform that was not their primary residence. Or there’s issues with insurance. Or there are fraudulent permits being used. We have issued 300 charges and we’ve had 2,250 service requests so far.” There are six dedicated bylaw staff on the short-term rental team. Investigations are complex and can require hours of monitoring, Chapman said. The short-term rental bylaw will likely be up for review in the next term of council.

Photo by Ashley Fraser / POSTMEDIA Cheryl Parrot of the Hintonburg Community Association urged the committee to consider increasing the definition of short-term rental to 89 days. “Short-term rentals take permanent housing away from those who need housing and keep the rental prices up,” Parrot said. “We are in a housing crisis and an affordability crisis and this could make a difference.” Issues around short-term rentals in Hintonburg have included increased garbage, Parrot said. Short-term rentals are lucrative for owners, but complaints take a long time to investigate, she added.

Article content Chapman agreed that investigations were time-consuming, but disagreed with Parrot’s argument that the city should increase the definition of short-term rental, as Vancouver has done. That could cause more problems for Ottawa if it drove long-term rentals into short-term rentals and could ramp up the need for even more enforcement, Chapman contended. On the paramedic side, Ottawa has grappled with offload delays at hospitals resulting in fewer or even no ambulances being available to respond to calls. Last April, the Ottawa Paramedic Service introduced a new dispatch system that has already helped to ease the logjam by dispatching ambulances according to the severity of each call. There has also been a concerted effort by Ottawa’s hospitals in the past five weeks to reduced offload delays, paramedic chief Pierre Poirier said. “Our staff are not being held captive, and we’re able to actually get our staff out into the community and deploy them where they should be,” he told the committee. In April, the Ottawa Paramedic Service introduced a new dispatch system that dispatches ambulances according to the severity of each call. Photo by Tony Caldwell / POSTMEDIA There have also been fewer Level Zero incidents , when there are no ambulances available to respond to 911 calls. Advertisement 5 Story continues below This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Article content In 2022, there were 73,000 minutes of Level Zero. In 2023, it was 55,000 minutes, Poirier said. “I don’t have the exact number in front of me for this year, but it will be less, probably less than 15,000 minutes, of which most of that will occur early in the year.” Added to that, when there have been Level Zero incidents, it has only been for a few seconds or minutes and not for hours at a time, Poirier said. Meanwhile, Ottawa Fire Services is looking to add 22 new firefighters as Station 81 in Stittsville is converted from a volunteer-only station to a composite model with both volunteer and career firefighters. “This investment will help address growth and improve response times in the communities of Stittsville and Richmond, said Paul Hutt, chief of Ottawa Fire Services. The fire department is also hiring a dedicated full-time psychologist to address mental-health needs. The budget calls for modest — or zero — increases to fees for services. For example, an open-air fire permit will still cost $15. Fire safety plans will still be free. Other fees, such as those for fire inspections, are creeping up slightly, usually by around two per cent. For example, the inspection of a building of less than three storeys increases to $481 from $472. Advertisement 6 Story continues below This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Article content The city will start penalizing repeated false alarms in 2025 for second, third, fourth or subsequent alarms. A second false alarm within a calendar year will cost $500, a third false alarm will be billed $1,000 and a fourth or subsequent false alarm will get dinged $1,500. There will also be a 15 per cent administration fee. About 37 per cent of total fire calls in Ottawa are false alarms. Of those, 13 per cent are nuisance alarms. False alarms are costing Ottawa Fire Services time and money and distract from potentially deadly emergencies, the committee heard last February.

Live: Minister absent on crucial day as climate talks near collapseBOSTON (AP) — Forty years ago, Heisman Trophy winner Doug Flutie rolled to his right and threw a pass that has become one of college football’s most iconic moments. With Boston College trailing defending champion Miami, , who made the grab while falling into the end zone behind a pair of defenders for a game-winning 48-yard TD. Flutie and many of his 1984 teammates were honored on the field during BC’s game against North Carolina before the second quarter on Saturday afternoon, the anniversary of the Eagles’ Miracle in Miami. “There’s no way its been 40 years,” Flutie told The Associated Press on the sideline a few minutes before he walked out with some of his former teammates to be recognized after a video of The Play was shown on the scoreboards. It’s a moment and highlight that’s not only played throughout decades of BC students and fans, but around the college football world. “What is really so humbling is that the kids 40 years later are wearing 22 jerseys, still,” Flutie said of his old number. “That amazes me.” That game was played on national TV the Friday after Thanksgiving. The ironic thing is it was originally scheduled for earlier in the season before CBS paid Rutgers to move its game against Miami, thus setting up the BC-Miami post-holiday matchup. “It shows you how random some things are, that the game was moved,” Flutie said. “The game got moved to the Friday after Thanksgiving, which was the most watched game of the year. We both end up being nationally ranked and up there. All those things lent to how big the game itself was, and made the pass and the catch that much more relevant and remembered because so many people were watching.” There’s a statue of Flutie winding up to make The Pass outside the north gates at Alumni Stadium. Fans and visitors can often be seen taking photos there. “In casual conversation, it comes up every day,” Flutie said, when asked how many times people bring it up. “It brings a smile to my face every time we talk about it.” A week after the game-ending Flutie pass, the Eagles beat Holy Cross and before he flew off to New York to accept the Heisman. They went on to win the 49th Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Day. “Forty years seem almost like incomprehensible,” said Phalen, also standing on the sideline a few minutes after the game started. “I always say to Doug: ‘Thank God for social media. It’s kept it alive for us.”’ Earlier this week, current BC coach Bill O’Brien, 55, was asked if he remembered where he was 40 years ago. “We were eating Thanksgiving leftovers in my family room,” he said. “My mom was saying a Rosary in the kitchen because she didn’t like Miami and wanted BC to win. My dad, my brother and I were watching the game. “It was unbelievable,” he said. “Everybody remembers where they were for the Hail Mary, Flutie pass.” ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.

( MENAFN - PR Newswire) Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses Exceeding $100,000 In TD To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options If you suffered losses exceeding $100,000 in TD between February 29, 2024 to October 9, 2024 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310) . [You may also click here for additional information] NEW YORK, Nov. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP , a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against The Toronto-Dominion Bank ("TD" or the "Company") (NYSE: TD ) and reminds investors of the December 23, 2024 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company. Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See . As detailed below, the complaint alleges that defendants provided investors with material information concerning the scope of the issues surrounding TD's anti-money laundering ("AML") program employed to comply with the United States' Bank Secrecy Act ('BSA"), the ability for defendants to "fix" those issues, and the punitive and remedial compliance measures likely to be imposed upon TD through the resolution of these investigations. Defendants' statements included, among other things, confidence in the Company's optimistic claims of updating and fixing the existing AML program, alleging a full understanding of the scope of the issues the program was facing, and setting aside specific provisional estimates as to the monetary impact of the punitive and compliance measures believed to be imposed. Defendants provided these overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of TD's AML program; pertinently, TD concealed or otherwise minimized the significance of the failures of the Company's AML program and made no indication that the imposition of an asset cap or other punitive or compliance measures would be imposed that would undermine TD's continued growth for the foreseeable future. Such statements absent these material facts caused shareholders to purchase TD's securities at artificially inflated prices. On October 10, 2024, TD unveiled the resolutions reached from the United States investigations, which included, in addition to the punitive payment of $3.09 billion, both an asset cap, preventing TD's U.S. subsidiaries from exceeding a collective $434 billion, a reflection of the Company's assets as of September 30, 2024, and further subjects TD to more stringent approval processes for its product, service, and market rollouts. Further, the Department of Justice, in their own corresponding release, highlighted the significance of TD's failures as "the largest bank in U.S. history to plead guilty to Bank Secrecy Act program failures, and the first US bank in history to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering." The unveiling of the scope of the Company's AML failures surprised investors and analysts alike as they reacted immediately to the revelations. The price of TD's common stock declined dramatically. From a closing market price of $63.51 per share on October 9, 2024, TD's stock price fell to $59.44 per share on October 10, 2024, and further to $57.01 on October 11, 2024, a decline of more than 10.23% in the span of just two days. The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not. Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding TD's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

He was 100, the longest-lived president in U.S. history. “President Carter is survived by his children — Jack, Chip, Jeff, and Amy; 11 grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Rosalynn, and one grandchild. “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love,” said Chip Carter, the former president’s son. “My brothers, sister, and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs. The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honoring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.” “There will be public observances in Atlanta and Washington, D.C., followed by a private interment in Plains, Georgia. The final arrangements for President Carter’s state funeral, including all public events and motorcade routes, are still pending.” : , ,
