SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims On Behalf of Investors of HelloFresh SE - HLFFFWhen the Nebraska football team gathered for its Thursday practice prior to the Wisconsin game, offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen wanted to see a game-ready unit. Anything other than the best wasn’t good enough, and Holgorsen backed it up. The players who made mistakes, even committing false start penalties during that practice didn’t play on Saturday because of it, Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule said. Those who did their job got their chance, though, with Rhule identifying senior wide receiver Isiaha Garcia-Castaneda as one such beneficiary. So while Holgorsen’s playcalling was part of Nebraska’s 44-point outburst against the Badgers, his general approach is what Rhule appreciates most. “You hear Dana on the headset, the whole time he’s just talking about execution,” Rhule said. “... There’s a real focus on execution and when the guys execute the play calls. I think that was the message to the guys — if you execute and practice at a high level, you’re going to have an opportunity to play in the game.” Changes have been limited in Holgorsen’s short time as NU’s offensive coordinator, but he did make sure the Huskers scaled back the number of plays in their playbook. “We’re still doing a lot,” Rhule said, while crediting assistant coaches Glenn Thomas, Garret McGuire and Marcus Satterfield for their work in helping Holgorsen get accustomed to the team’s offensive setup. A “collaborative” gameplanning process that involves those coaches poring over game film and strategy together has led to results, but Rhule again emphasized that improvements from the players, not the coaches, is what has led to better results. When Nebraska was in rhythm on Saturday and stayed ahead of the chains, the Huskers were nearly impossible to slow down. When penalties, turnovers or miscues like snapping on the wrong count happened, though, the offense’s progress was halted. The clear difference? Execution. “It’s kind of a blend of everything we’ve been trying to say to them all year coming to life,” Rhule said of Nebraska’s 44-point performance. “I think the thing Dana’s done a great job is, he’s cut things down to a degree, but he’s demanding that they execute if they want to get on the field.” Nebraska also couldn’t have cut apart the Wisconsin defense without a reinvigorated showing from quarterback Dylan Raiola. Having thrown at least one interception in his previous five starts, Raiola finished the game turnover-free for the first time since September. The freshman also completed 28-of-38 passes for 293 yards and one touchdown, his biggest passing output other than a 297-yard performance against Illinois. Part of the reason for the turnaround was health-related following the back injury Raiola suffered against UCLA. Held out of practice over the bye, Raiola was “ginger” the whole game against USC according to Rhule but was more comfortable with moving around and sliding up in the pocket last Saturday. Getting the ball out quickly and accurately also helped Raiola’s timing within the offense. “He was just taking completions, taking what was there and not trying to do too much,” Rhule said of Raiola. “Playing as a freshman in the Big Ten is really, really hard; it requires tough people and I think Dylan’s been tough in that he’s gotten better every week.” Nebraska’s progress will be tested in a matchup against the nation’s No. 12 scoring defense, an Iowa unit that is allowing just 17.7 points per game. Another week with Holgorsen at the helm will help Nebraska with that challenge as the Huskers look to build on their recent offensive surge. “Just the rhythm of the way he does things means total sense to me,” Rhule said of Holgorsen. “... If I coach with Dana for one more week or if we coach together for the next 10 years, I’ll be a better coach as a result.” Get local news delivered to your inbox!

It's Dana Holgorsen's 'focus on execution' that's impressing Matt Rhule — not just his play callsThe Nashville Predators are amongst the worst teams in the league this season points-wise and are four games under .500 through a quarter of the 2024-25 season. Barry Trotz has been looking for ways to make the Predators better but not much has come from that just yet. Some teams have started to make some bigger decisions at this point in the season and Elliotte Friedman reported that after the New York Rangers got blown out by the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday, the Rangers have made it clear that they are interested in making some moves. The two names that were brought up were Jacob Trouba and Chris Kreider, but more names aren't off the table as well. Trotz is looking to make the Predators better before tearing anything down, so with these veterans available, he could shake up the Predators as well. Trouba has one more year left on his deal after this season at $8 million AAV with a 15 team no trade list. Kreider has two years left after this season on his $6.5 million AAV deal and also has a 15 team no trade clause. Do the Predators need both of these players? No. But grabbing one and sending something back that could also help the Rangers shake things up accordingly could be an intriguing option. The Predators are still reportedly searching for a top-4 defenseman on top of a top-6 center, so Trouba fits that bill. His analytics aren't spectacular, but he is a leader, been a part of many competitive teams, and is a force on the ice. Picture Nashville having Trouba, Jeremy Lauzon, and even Luke Schenn on the ice at any given time. That would be if Schenn isn't part of a package back to New York. It wouldn't be a long commitment to Trouba if the Predators aren't on his no trade list and Nashville likely wouldn't be taking his entire $8 million contract either. As for Kreider, this is a longer commitment and one that the Predators may not delve much into. He has taken a step back this season as this is only the second time in his 13-year NHL career (excluding a 23 game trial) that he has an expected goals percentage lower than 50% (currently 46.2%). He is on a 12-6-2 team that is winning games and through 19 games, he has yet to record an assist. Kreider is still scoring goals (9), something the Predators need, but he doesn't play center and the team would be acquiring another veteran who's 33 years old. I don't think that is exactly what they need. While Kreider could come into the top-6 and play net front on the power play, the issue of a lack of second line center would still be present. That won't look good if more moves are made without addressing what is actually needed. I'm sure Trotz will inquire about Mika Zibanejad as the Rangers have Vincent Trocheck, Filip Chytil, Kaapo Kakko (currently playing center), and Adam Edstrom as options down the middle in the top-9, but massive moves like moving an $8.5 million center with 5 years remaining on his deal are very difficult to pull off mid-season and I don't think the Rangers would be satisfied with what would be remaining without Zibanejad on a Stanley Cup hopeful team. This is definitely a situation Trotz is likely looking into, even if something doesn't get done. But it is his job to explore absolutely everything to make the Predators better as general manager. Nashville surely needs it. Visit team site to stay updated on the , coverage, , and more. Recent Predators NewsTwins tender contracts to all arbitration-eligible players; reach terms with three
Nick Kyrgios says positive tests for duo are ‘disgusting’ and ‘a horrible look’
OTTAWA - The federal government is hoping a temporary break on GST will address a “vibecession” that has gripped Canadians, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said Monday. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced last week that starting Dec. 14 the goods and services tax will be taken off a slew of items for two months to help with the affordability crunch. In a news conference on Monday, Freeland said there’s a disconnect between recent good news on inflation and interest rates and how Canadians are feeling about the economy, something she said is being referred to as a “vibecession.” The tax cut is meant to help bridge that gap and stimulate consumer spending, she said. “One of the positive impacts of this measure is to help Canadians get past that vibecession because how Canadians feel really does have a real economic impact,” Freeland said. The tax break will apply to a number of items including children’s clothing and shoes, toys, diapers, restaurant meals and beer and wine. It also applies to Christmas trees — both natural and artificial — along with a variety of snack foods and beverages, and video game consoles. The federal government also plans to send $250 cheques in the spring to Canadians who were working in 2023 and earned up to $150,000. Those who weren’t working last year, including retirees and Canadians on social assistance, will not receive cheques, fuelling criticism from opposition parties. Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet said on Monday that his party would only support the rebate cheques if the draft legislation is expanded to include seniors. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh also wants the rebate cheques to be expanded to include retirees, people receiving disability assistance and students. Trudeau acknowledged last week that even though inflation is down and interest rates are falling, Canadians are still feeling the bite from higher prices. And while the government can’t help with prices at the checkout counter, it said it can put more money in people’s pockets. The GST break and cash gifts are estimated to cost the federal government $6.3 billion. Many economists have been critical of the measures, arguing there are better ways to use that money to help stimulate economic growth and productivity. Procurement Minister Jean-Yves Duclos, who was an economics professor at Laval University before running for federal office, addressed those critiques on Monday by pointing out that the measures are only temporary. “We need to distinguish between structural and temporary measures. This is a temporary measure which acknowledges that despite all of the wonderful economic news that my colleagues, economists are correct to spread, the average Canadian, doesn’t yet feel that good news,” Duclos said. BMO, which upgrades its economic growth forecast due to these measures, estimates the stimulus amounts to 0.3 per cent of GDP. “That is hefty. But, it will do little to change economic behaviour, or even touch the aforementioned issues of productivity and affordability in comparison to, say, something like permanent income tax reductions,” wrote BMO senior economist Robert Kavcic in a report. “In fact, when set against an incoming U.S. administration that is gearing up for a significant pro-growth policy push, it seems like energy would be better spent on measures with a more lasting impact.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 25, 2024. - With files from David Baxter.

The controversial Australian has played only one match in more than two years because of injury but that has not stopped him being an outspoken presence on social media during a difficult few months for the sport. First it was announced in August that Sinner had failed two doping tests in March but was cleared of fault, while in November Swiatek was handed a one-month ban for a failed test caused by contaminated medication. Feels good getting these consecutive days training in the bank man.... Wrist re construction and back out here... blessed..................Without failing any drug tests 🙂↕️🙏🏽 be proud kygs doing it the right way 😩😂 pic.twitter.com/J8l21lnTdI — Nicholas Kyrgios (@NickKyrgios) December 5, 2024 Kyrgios has been particularly vociferous in his criticism of Sinner, who could yet face a ban after the World Anti-Doping Agency appealed the finding of no fault or negligence in his case. At a press conference ahead of the Brisbane International, Kyrgios told reporters: “I have to be outspoken about it because I don’t think there’s enough people that are speaking about it. I think people are trying to sweep it under the rug. “I just think that it’s been handled horrifically in our sport. Two world number ones both getting done for doping is disgusting for our sport. It’s a horrible look. “The tennis integrity right now – and everyone knows it, but no one wants to speak about it – it’s awful. It’s actually awful. And it’s not OK.” Kyrgios initially underwent knee surgery in January 2023, returning to action in June of that year, but he played only one match before pulling out of Wimbledon due to a torn ligament in his right wrist. He has not played a competitive match since, and it appeared doubtful that he would be able to return, but the 29-year-old will make his comeback in Brisbane this week. Kyrgios will take on France’s Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in singles, while he will also team up with Novak Djokovic in a blockbuster doubles pairing. “It’s good to be back,” said Kyrgios. “I honestly never thought I’d be back playing at this level. Even entering an event like this, preparing, doing all the right things. A post shared by Nick Kyrgios (@k1ngkyrg1os) “I’m really excited to just go out there and play, just play tennis. I saw Novak in the gym, playing doubles with him, a lot to be excited about that I’m able to get out there and compete again.” Asked whether he could get back to the same level that saw him reach the Wimbledon final in 2022, Kyrgios said: “I still believe I can, whether or not that’s factual or not. There was another player who was like, ‘You have to be realistic’. That’s not how I am. I always back my ability.” The new tennis season is already under way, with the United Cup team event beginning on Friday. Great Britain, who are weakened by the absence of Jack Draper through injury, begin their campaign against Argentina in Sydney on Monday before facing hosts Australia on Wednesday. That could pit Katie Boulter against fiance Alex De Minaur, with the pair having announced their engagement last week. A post shared by Katie Boulter (@katiecboulter) “Obviously some incredible news from our side, but I think we kind of wanted it to die down a little bit before matches started,” said Boulter of the timing. “My private life is out in the public a little bit at the moment. But, in terms of the stuff that I’m doing on the court, I’ll be doing the best I can every single day to stay in my own little bubble.” Billy Harris has taken Draper’s place, with the British number one facing a race against time to be fit for the Australian Open because of a hip problem. Emma Raducanu is the sixth seed at the ASB Classic in Auckland and will begin her season with a match against Robin Montgomery, while Cameron Norrie takes on another American, Learner Tien, at the Hong Kong Open.Hinson defends Ernst over senator’s hesitancy to back Trump’s defense secretary pick

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved into a transformative force in education, reshaping how students learn and prepare for the workforce. From personalized learning experiences to enhanced administrative efficiency, AI’s integration into high school and college classrooms is redefining traditional education. Moreover, the skills and insights gained from using AI tools in education translate effectively to business settings, including employment interviews, highlighting the growing importance of AI literacy in today’s world. AI in Classrooms: Transforming Learning Experiences AI technologies have found significant applications in high school and college classrooms, offering solutions that enhance both teaching and learning. One prominent use is in adaptive learning platforms, such as DreamBox and Khan Academy, which adjust content and pacing based on individual student needs. These platforms analyze student performance in real-time, identifying strengths and weaknesses to provide tailored support. For instance, a high school student struggling with algebra might receive extra practice problems and video tutorials, while an advanced student could be offered more challenging material to maintain engagement. Another major application of AI in education is automated grading. Tools like Gradescope and Turnitin use machine learning algorithms to evaluate assignments, saving teachers valuable time and providing students with faster feedback. This is particularly useful in large college classes where manual grading can be time-intensive. Furthermore, AI-powered writing assistants like Grammarly help students improve their communication skills by offering suggestions for grammar, tone, and clarity. AI also facilitates accessibility and inclusion in education. Tools like Microsoft Immersive Reader and speech-to-text applications empower students with disabilities by making content more accessible. For example, a visually impaired student can use text-to-speech software to listen to course materials, while a student with dyslexia might benefit from enhanced readability features like font adjustments and line spacing. Chatbots and virtual assistants are becoming increasingly common in academic settings as well. Universities deploy AI-powered chatbots to answer routine student queries about admissions, financial aid, or class schedules, reducing administrative burdens and enhancing the student experience. These virtual assistants also serve as study aids, offering 24/7 support for students who may need help understanding course material outside regular class hours. AI as a learning tool for employment preparedness The integration of AI in education prepares students for the workforce by fostering essential skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and digital literacy. High schools and colleges increasingly incorporate AI-related curricula, teaching students how to interact with, design, and manage AI systems. For example, coding classes often include modules on machine learning or data analytics, giving students a head start in understanding how AI operates in professional environments. Simulation-based learning powered by AI is another innovative approach to career readiness. Virtual labs and AI-driven simulations allow students to practice real-world scenarios in a controlled environment. A nursing student, for instance, can use virtual patient simulations to hone diagnostic skills, while business students might participate in AI-driven market simulations to develop strategic decision-making abilities. Moreover, AI helps students build soft skills, which are crucial for success in business and employment settings. For instance, platforms like Mursion use AI-driven virtual reality to simulate workplace scenarios, enabling students to practice communication and interpersonal skills. These experiences are invaluable in preparing students for job interviews, team collaborations, and leadership roles. AI in business and employment interviews The transition from academic settings to professional environments often involves leveraging AI-driven skills and tools learned in school. Many businesses now use AI in their hiring processes, from resume screening to interview assessments. Understanding these systems gives students a competitive edge. AI-powered applicant tracking systems (ATS) are commonly used to filter resumes based on keywords and qualifications. Job seekers familiar with how these systems work can optimize their resumes to align with specific job descriptions, increasing their chances of securing an interview. During interviews, AI tools like HireVue assess candidates through video analysis, evaluating factors such as facial expressions, tone of voice, and word choice. While these tools aim to reduce bias and improve efficiency, they also underscore the importance of digital fluency. Candidates who have practiced with AI-driven mock interview platforms can better navigate these assessments, demonstrating confidence and adaptability. Furthermore, the collaborative skills developed through AI-powered educational tools translate directly to the workplace. For instance, students accustomed to using project management platforms like Trello or Slack, enhanced with AI features, can easily adapt to similar tools in professional settings. This familiarity not only boosts productivity but also highlights their readiness for a tech-driven work environment. Challenges and ethical considerations While the benefits of AI in education and employment are significant, challenges remain. Data privacy is a major concern, as AI systems often require access to sensitive information. Schools and businesses must ensure robust security measures to protect user data. Additionally, there is a risk of over-reliance on AI, which could undermine the development of critical thinking and creativity if not balanced with traditional learning methods. Ethical considerations also arise in the use of AI for hiring. Critics argue that algorithms can perpetuate biases present in the training data, potentially disadvantaging certain groups. Transparency and fairness must be prioritized to ensure that AI-driven tools promote equity rather than exacerbate existing disparities. AI is revolutionizing education by personalizing learning, streamlining administrative tasks, and fostering essential skills for the modern workforce. Its applications in high school and college classrooms not only enhance the educational experience but also prepare students for professional success. As businesses increasingly adopt AI in hiring and operations, the ability to navigate and leverage these technologies becomes a critical asset. By addressing challenges and ethical concerns, educators and employers can maximize the benefits of AI, ensuring that students and job seekers alike are well-equipped for a rapidly changing world.
