West Ham’s Michail Antonio Involved In Traffic Accident
When the Lufkin Panthers got the opportunity to host the Pineywoods Hoopfest, one of the biggest positives was bringing some big-time talent to deep East Texas. That proved to be a learning experience last year when the top competition led to two losses. This time around, the Panthers learned their lessons while winning. Austin Brown scored 21 points and put the game away with six straight fourth-quarter free throws and the Panthers fought their way to a 72-58 win over the 6A Converse Judson Rockets Tuesday afternoon. Brown had plenty of help in a team effort in a game the Panthers never trailed. B.J. Thomas scored 10 of his 15 points after the break, JaKevion Sanders had 14 and Brycen Skinner added 10. That allowed the Panthers to finish the Hoopfest 2-0 after Monday night’s win over Lake Travis. Elijah Favela led Converse Judson with 23 points while Jaylen Crittendon had 12. The Panthers set the tone for the afternoon with a game-opening 14-2 run. C.J. Burse got a breakaway dunk in the opening seconds before Sanders nailed a trey. After Judson’s Kenyon Smith scored on a tip-in, Brown hit a layup and two free throws and Sanders had a three-point play and a steal and layup to make it 14-2. The Rockets didn’t make things easy for Lufkin from there as they stayed within striking distance the entire afternoon. Three-pointers from Favela and Crittendon and a Gerald O’Neal basket cut the margin to six before Lufkin led 19-10 after the first eight minutes. That lead got cut to four points at 31-27 late in the second quarter on a Jordan Taylor trey. Lufkin answered with 3-pointers from Thomas and Marcellus Parks to up the margin back to double digits. The Panthers led 37-30 at halftime. The lead went back to double digits early in the second half when Sanders and Parks hit layups, but Judson didn’t go down easily, cutting the margin to 55-51 late in the third quarter. The Panthers led 60-53 headed into the final quarter. Things slowed down for both teams in the fourth quarter with Crittendon knocking down a triple that cut Lufkin’s lead to 64-58 with 3:28 remaining. That was the last time Judson scored. Brown iced the game from there with six straight free throws before Skinner got a steal and layup to close it out. Other Lufkin scorers were Parks (5), JaVarius White (4) and Tripp McManus (1). Lufkin (7-2) starts district play Tuesday when it hosts Whitehouse.EDMONTON — Alberta's Technology Minister Nate Glubish says he's hoping to see $100 billion worth of artificial intelligence data centres under construction within the next five years. Such centres are filled with computer servers used by companies like Meta to develop and train large-scale artificial intelligence models. Glubish says Meta, as well as other major companies including Google and Amazon, are on the hunt for space to build more facilities, and he wants Alberta to be an option. He says landing some data centres would create jobs and bring in much needed new tax revenue for the province. Glubish also says that since Alberta's electricity grid regulations allows for off-grid power generation, he thinks the province is an ideal location. He says allowing for off-grid power connections where power generators supply data centres directly also means there's less risk for Albertans, as there wouldn't be major drains on the electrical grid.

I'm an American living in the UK... these are the FIVE things that are so different about our supermarkets Kobie Jordan is a content creator who documents life as an American in London Jordan highlighted differences in groceries available in US and UK supermarkets READ MORE: This is what shocks me about 'drinking culture' as American in UK By JOWENA RILEY Published: 13:14, 7 December 2024 | Updated: 13:16, 7 December 2024 e-mail View comments An American man living in the UK has shared his shock at five stark differences between grocery shopping in Britain and back home. Kobie Jordan, a TikTok content creator known as @kjordyyy, often explores cultural contrasts between the two countries, both through street interviews with Brits and sharing his own experiences online. In a video uploaded in August, titled 'Grocery shopping in London as an American,' Jordan shared his observations whilst shopping for necessities in his local Sainsbury's supermarket. Filming his visit, the content creator singled out specific items while weighing up the pros and cons of varieties available in supermarkets in both nations. The first thing that caught Jordan off guard was the sight of unrefrigerated eggs, as he panned his camera to dozens of cartons stacked neatly on shelves. He said: 'One of the first things that threw me off: the eggs are not refrigerated. 'Funny enough, I found the eggs last way longer than when I used to refrigerate them. For me, I put them on top of the microwave.' Next, Jordan noted that UK supermarkets appear to sell food in much smaller portions compared to their American counterparts, adding: 'The UK, you shop way more often, but you buy in smaller quantities.'

Here, you can't buy ketchup the size of compact cars.' Fresh produce in the UK also puzzled Jordan, as he showed bags of potatoes, radish and pre-prepared lettuce as examples with expiration dates just days away. While displaying the items' "best before" dates of August 11 and August 8, he explained: 'Fresh produce expires more quickly than back home. At the time of filming this, it's August 7th.' 'Most of them won't last more than three days - but back home, our produce is pumped with so much preservatives.' Panning his camera at crates of baked beans stacked from the floor to the highest shelf in one aisle, he joked: 'But, of course, the bean section has no shortages, and was ironically the item that had the most stock.' One aspect of UK supermarkets Jordan praised was the absence of hidden taxes. He said: 'What you see is what you buy. So, if something is £2.75, you're going to leave paying £2.75. 'Back home, there's nothing worse than doing your whole shop and then realising, "Add 6% tax" to anything you buy.' The first thing that caught Jordan off guard was the sight of unrefrigerated eggs, as he panned his camera to dozens of cartons stacked neatly on shelves Jordan's observations sparked a lively discussion among viewers, with over 900 Brits, Americans, and even viewers from other countries sharing their thoughts. Regarding Jordan's observation on taxed goods, a baffled Briton asked: 'Why can’t America just put the full price you pay on things, can’t be that difficult??' Regarding produce, one Brit wrote: 'Our produce isn't full of preservatives, it's fresh. the UK has to import everything so it has a shorter life span Another commented: 'If a "fresh" product lasts longer it probably isn't for a good reason.' A third wrote: 'The reason why USA plastic packaged fruit/veg lasts longer is simply cause the USA fill the bags with nitrogen & not "air" which also contains oxygen & its stored in the store in fridges.' Meanwhile, commenters explained that in the US, eggs are washed to remove the protective membrane, which requires refrigeration, while in the UK, eggs remain untreated, allowing them to be stored safely at room temperature. Regarding his observation on eggs, one Brit wrote: 'Eggs are not in the fridge but everybody I know including me puts them in the fridge as soon as they’re home.' Another viewer, who claims to live in Africa, said: 'In Africa too we don’t refrigerate eggs. It’s only in USA and I wonder why?

We do backwards with everything.' Some viewers, meanwhile, warned Jordan that storing eggs on top of the microwave was a bad idea due to heat exposure, with one writing: 'Don't put anything on top of your microwave it will heat up each time as it gets hot after every use.' It comes after an American woman living in the UK has revealed the classic British sweets she cannot stand - much to the consternation of her followers online. Lisa Dollan is originally from Georgia in the United States but moved to Yorkshire after falling in love with her now-husband Paul after they met at a business conference in 2009. Taking to TikTok, where she has amassed over 1.2million followers under her handle Yorkshire Peach, Lisa shared common British confectionary items that she disliked.
