Signal Gold Exercises Option and Upsizes Concurrent Financing, Confirms Conversion of Subscription Receipts and Updated Credit Facility Restructuring TermsUConn head coach Dan Hurley insists he's not overvaluing Wednesday night's game between his 25th-ranked Huskies and No. 15 Baylor in Storrs, Conn. Sure, it comes on the heels of the two-time reigning national champion Huskies (5-3) responding to losing all three games during the Maui Invitational with a blowout victory over Maryland Eastern Shore on Saturday. UConn, which had won 17 consecutive games entering the Maui tournament, fell 23 spots from No. 2 to nearly out of the Associated Press Top 25 poll released Monday. "I think it's such a long season and we're eight games in," Hurley said when asked about facing the Bears. "Our performance in Maui shocked the college basketball world and the sports world, and obviously a lot went on there." "I don't think it's a must-win game in Game Nine of the season, but it's an opportunity to play in Gampel (Pavilion), where we play great and are very comfortable, and we know we're gonna have a great crowd." "We also know we're playing a top-level team, so it's a big game for us and it's a big game for them." Wednesday's game signifies the start of a tough stretch in UConn's schedule. The Huskies will visit Texas on Sunday and challenge No. 7 Gonzaga in New York on Dec. 14 before beginning Big East play on Dec. 18 against Xavier, which fell from No. 22 to out of the poll on Monday. But let's go back to Saturday's 99-45 dismantling of the Hawks. Jaylin Stewart started in place of the injured Alex Karaban (head) and joined Liam McNeeley by scoring 16 points to put UConn back in the win column. Solo Ball contributed 12 points, Aidan Mahaney had 11 and Tarris Reed Jr. (10 points, 12 rebounds) and Jayden Ross (10 points, 10 rebounds) each recorded a double-double. "This experience they're getting, (Stewart), Jayden Ross, Solo Ball, these guys are going to keep getting better and better," Hurley said. "Jaylin Stewart has flashed. That Memphis game (in which he scored 16 points on 7-of-9 shooting), he flashed a lot in that one. "... These sophomores are just going to keep getting better and better. That's why I do think we do need the grace and support of our people here at UConn. Because they're going to be such different players in January and February." Coming off a split in the Bahamas, Baylor (5-2) bounced back from a 77-62 setback to then-No. 11 Tennessee on Nov. 22 with a decisive 91-60 victory over New Orleans last Wednesday. "I know we're all a little tired," Bears coach Scott Drew said. "Whenever you come back from the Bahamas and a trip like that, the first game, you can be playing in mud. And I think the guys did a pretty good job, for the most part." Jayden Nunn drained six of his seven 3-pointers in the first half and finished with a season-high 23 points to power Baylor past the Privateers. Robert Wright III scored 18 points, Jeremy Roach had 17 and Miami transfer Norchad Omier recorded his third consecutive double-double after finishing with 12 points and a season-high 13 rebounds. --Field Level Media
Jefferson keeps seeing double as Vikings aim to stay focused on overall offensive production(BPT) - Has it been a while since you purchased a new TV? You might be surprised by how far TV technology has come since you bought your last set! Today's smart televisions offer dramatic improvements in picture quality and home screens that are far easier to navigate. Plus, they come with a host of cool features like voice control that you may not even know about. It's time to discover what you've been missing — and if you're asking yourself where to start, the Fire TV Buyer Insights Report can help. This independent study surveyed over 2,000 recent purchasers of smart TVs to learn everything from where they did their product research to why they decided to buy. With the holidays almost upon us, the insights in this report can help guide you as you kick off your seasonal shopping. Whether you're buying a gift, hosting a holiday gathering or looking for the perfect game-day screen, read on to find the best TV for your needs. How do you find the right TV? Here's how recent purchasers did it. When it comes to buying a new TV, there are several factors you'll want to consider, starting with who's going to be using it. The study found that spouses (36%), kids (13%), and even grandparents (1%) were involved in the purchase process, so be sure to keep your home's audience in mind. Beyond that, you'll also want to think about: Room size Smart TVs range in size from a 32-inch screen all the way up to a whopping 100 inches or more. To determine the right screen size for your room, follow this guideline: Small rooms: 32"–43" screen Medium rooms: 43"–55" screen Large rooms: 55+" screen As for viewing distance, divide the screen's diameter by 8 to get the ideal viewing distance in feet. For example, a 32-inch screen should be watched from about 4 feet away, while you'll want to be about 8 feet away from a 65-inch screen. Usage How you plan to use your new TV should play a large part in your decision-making process. If you're always looking for the latest show or movie to watch, your smart TV should offer optimal access to the latest streaming services. Gamers will experience better play on a TV with a high refresh rate, while sports enthusiasts will want to watch the big game on a set with smooth motion handling. Connected TV experience One of the most important considerations is how you'll use TV. In the study, 83% of TV purchasers said that easy access to content was one of the things they liked best about their new TV. But beyond being an all-in-one source for entertainment, your smart TV should also play well with other smart home devices. For instance, Fire TV allows you to pair compatible devices seamlessly like video doorbells, smart home devices, and more. And with select models, Fire TV's Ambient Experience can turn the biggest screen in your home into a beautiful, always-on smart display rotating through beautiful art, personal photos, and glanceable information like calendars and reminders. Knowledge is power Before you land on the perfect TV, you'll need to do a little research first. The study found that only 12% of shoppers bought their TV on an impulse, while 65% engaged in some form of product research. Most (82%) respondents conducted some or all of their research online for instant access to smart TV reviews and feature comparisons. In fact, over half of respondents who searched online mentioned digital retailers like Amazon as a great source for honest ratings and buyer reviews. Timing is everything According to the study, the time from research to purchase takes about two weeks, so plan ahead — especially if you're thinking about giving a TV as a holiday gift. There are also some great deals available during this time of year, so keep an eye out for sales and promotional offers. The big picture A new TV is a big purchase, so don't make it an impulsive one. Take the time to do your research and remember that everyone takes a different path to finding the perfect TV. Whether your search begins online, offline, or with a mix of both, it will end with a next-level viewing experience that's just right for the way you watch.
Heavy travel day gets off to a rough start after American Airlines briefly grounds all flightsNew Orleans Pelicans star center Zion Williamson has started the conditioning phase of his rehab from a left hamstring strain and is expected to return to practice next week, the team announced Tuesday. Williamson, who is considered week-to-week, has been sidelined since Nov. 6. The two-time All-Star has played in just six games this season, averaging 22.7 points, 8.0 rebounds and 5.3 assists. New Orleans selected Williamson with the top overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. His time with the Pelicans has been marked by multiple injuries, starting with a torn meniscus during the preseason of his rookie year. Williamson has played in just 190 career games over five seasons, while also missing the entire 2021-22 campaign. He has averaged 24.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists. --Field Level Media
Salvation Army and Walmart in Burbank threw a holiday party on Friday, Dec. 6 that included a Red Bull freestyle motorcyclist doing tricks and Walmart employees giving gifts to low-income families who enjoyed live music, food trucks and entertainment. The event included the kickoff of the Red Kettle and Angel Tree campaigns for all West Coast Walmart stores, featuring a $3,000 “Spark Good” check presentation to the Salvation Army. Walmart surprised a local Burbank family by fulfilling their wishlist ahead of Christmas. The family of five lives in a two-bedroom apartment, and for the past seven years has relied on the Salvation Army’s Family Service and Food Pantry program for monthly assistance.

According to a spokesperson, Walmart gave the family “the entire list, including toys, technology, and several pantry items.” Walmart Senior Vice President Steve Schrobilgen attended, as did hundreds of Walmart store managers and associates, local community members, and Salvation Army officers. Schrobilgen said, “For years, we’ve been proud to partner with the Salvation Army because their unwavering dedication to serving local communities aligns perfectly with our commitment to making a difference. We’re honored to kick off the holiday season by celebrating the incredible efforts of the Salvation Army and our associates, who work tirelessly to give back.” Lt. Colonel Mike Dickinson, Southern California divisional commander of the Salvation Army, said in a prepared statement, “With Walmart’s generous support, we can bring stability, hope, and joy to local families in need.”
With another major snow event expected to start Wednesday night, New York Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services is increasing preparations accordingly. Between two and three feet of snow are projected in Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties, and into southern Erie County, with wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour. Wind levels are expected to be worse than in past snow events of recent weeks, said Executive Deputy Director Pete Cichetti of the NYS Homeland Security Office of Emergency Management. “That really means two major impacts. The first is blowing and drifting snow on roadways, which will really, really reduce visibility and could create whiteout conditions for people on the road," he said. "We urge people, if you don't have to drive, please don't drive. If you do have to drive, please pay really close attention to your local forecast.” Anyone who has to drive should give snow plows extra room and should never try to pass a plow, Cichetti said. Residents should also take extra precautions to make sure they have emergency supplies at home, he said. “We encourage people to have a cache of both water and nonperishable food that they can utilize in the event that they have a power outage or pipes freeze or something similar," Cichetti said. There have been discussions with New York State Thruway Authority, but no current plans to close Interstate-90, Cichetti said.UConn head coach Dan Hurley insists he's not overvaluing Wednesday night's game between his 25th-ranked Huskies and No. 15 Baylor in Storrs, Conn.

More than 55,000 Canada Post workers have been on a nationwide strike since Nov. 15, coinciding with the holiday season shopping period. Canada Post employees and supporters rally at headquarters in Ottawa, on Nov. 28. Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press Small businesses are facing skyrocketing delivery costs as the Canada Post strike enters its fourth week, causing backlogs at competing couriers. On Friday, Purolator paused shipments from some third-party couriers because of a significant increase in the volume of deliveries in the wake of the postal workers’ strike. Third-party couriers are middlemen used by consumers and small businesses to reach bigger delivery companies. In a statement to The Globe and Mail, Purolator said the pause was temporary and that the company will “make all attempts to remove the service suspension as soon as possible.” More than 55,000 Canada Post workers have been on a nationwide strike since Nov. 15, coinciding with the holiday season shopping period. Talks between the Canadian Union of Postal Workers and Canada Post are still going slowly, more than a week after a mediator appointed by the federal government suspended negotiations, saying the two sides remained too far apart on a myriad of issues. But as the strike continues, some small business owners who relied on Canada Post and attempted to switch couriers have found they are being charged noticeably higher rates. Stephanie Howarth, the owner of Montreal-based Kanel Spices, a specialty spice store, said UPS charged her double what she usually pays for Canada Post delivery. She was also told by UPS that her shipments would not be picked up unless she was willing to commit to a three-year contract. “This has eased since Black Friday weekend, and they have resumed picking up, but we are being charged their highest rates because we’re not willing to commit to switching to UPS,” Ms. Howarth said. Kanel Spices offers free shipping on orders over $60, and most of its customers meet this threshold, resulting in the business fully absorbing shipping costs. “At the beginning of the strike, when UPS did not pick up orders, we loaded our cars with hundreds of orders and drove them to UPS stores, doing our best to charm their employees into taking our business,” Ms. Howarth said. Joshua Seraj, the owner of Tools420, a vaporizer store in Burlington, Ont., had a similar experience trying to use UPS as an alternative to Canada Post. He said its shipping rates were more than double Canada Post’s. To mitigate those high rates, he signed a volume-based contract with UPS that was 15 per cent cheaper than its usual rate. The contract required a one-year commitment, with a cancellation penalty of $500. Still, even with the contract, Mr. Seraj’s shipping costs were substantially higher: A small parcel delivery of one vape pen (with a product price of $95) cost him $30.49, compared with $13.96 with Canada Post. FedEx, another alternative courier, quoted Mr. Seraj a price of $25.12 for that same delivery, but he said that in the early days of the strike, FedEx’s shipping charges were the highest of all the couriers, which is why he did not opt to sign a contract with them. UPS did not respond to questions about its shipping prices after the strike began. In a statement, a FedEx spokesperson told The Globe the company had not implemented any new charges or fees since Nov. 15. The spokesperson added that FedEx had developed a contingency plan earlier this year in the event of a Canada Post strike and had the capacity to handle a surge in parcel volume. A Canada Post strike in 2018 lasted four weeks before the federal government imposed back-to-work legislation. Federal Labour Minister Steve MacKinnon has repeatedly said he will not intervene in the strike and expects it to be settled at the bargaining table. On Wednesday, the union responded to a new proposal from Canada Post and said it was ready to return to the mediation process. “We know people want a settlement and fatigue is setting in,” Jan Simpson, the national president of CUPW, said in a statement. But both sides have been tight-lipped about outstanding issues that remain sticking points. The union is vehemently opposed to Canada Post’s push to hire more part-time employees for weekend parcel delivery. The two sides are also far apart on wages: Canada Post has offered an 11.5-per-cent wage increase over four years, while CUPW is asking for 24 per cent, compounded. This week, CUPW hinted the two sides had resolved an issue related to offering defined-benefit pensions to new part-time workers. Canada Post had initially suggested hiring part-time workers with defined-contribution pensions to staff weekend delivery, a proposal the union opposed. Larry Savage, a professor of labour studies at Brock University, noted that as strikes wear on, they often become more difficult to sustain. “There’s no doubt increased pressure on the union to reach a settlement in short order,” he said. Prof. Savage also said that as the holidays approach, the federal government might decide to intervene to end the strike, as they have done in multiple labour disputes this year. “The Minister of Labour may decide he has no choice but to get his hands dirty. Politically, the government is stuck between a rock and a hard place.”

Killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO spotlights complex challenge companies face in protecting top brass
Mumbai, Dec 24, 2025- Anti-graft activist Anjali Damania claimed on Tuesday that she had predicted way out in February (2024) that the MahaYuti ally Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)’s prominent OBC leader Chhagan Bhujbal would veer towards the Bharatiya Janata Party. “I had said that Bhujbal would join the BJP, not today, but in February this year...” Damania told media persons as political speculation heated up on the sulking OBC leader’s next strategy after he was not included in the state cabinet last week. Damania said that all this was pre-planned as now they have staged a political drama by denying him (Bhujbal) a cabinet berth, then they pretended to be upset as both Deputy CM Ajit Pawar and state NCP President Sunil Tatkare did not meet him, and then he snubbed them by calling on Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday (December 23). “It was delayed... because I had tweeted about the likely developments 11 months ago... But now Bhujbal is likely to join the BJP as the latter will get a strong OBC face in the party,” contended Damania. “Bhujbal on the path to BJP? Will the BJP, which once filed a public interest litigation against Bhujbal’s corruption, make him a big OBC leader? Will it make such corrupt people big, for politics? Where will this sin be paid for?” said Damania’s tweet of February 1. Political circles are agog with speculation on Bhujbal’s next political move in the wake of the recent developments, particularly after the party denied him a cabinet berth and his meeting with Fadnavis that raised eyebrows as the BJP is eager to have a big OBC leader in its fold. However, Bhujbal — who is preparing for a vacation with his family — has been critical of the NCP, taking potshots at its top leaders, how all decisions are taken by Ajit Pawar, Tatkare and Praful Patel without consulting anybody, but steadfastly refused to indicate if he plans to switch sides with the BJP. It has attracted comments from the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) with Shiv Sena (UBT)’s Leader of Opposition in Council Ambadas Danve studying Bhujbal’s political moves closely. “First, Bhujbal was angry with Ajit Pawar, then he met Fadnavis, but Ajit Pawar or Tatkare didn’t meet him. So what can anyone read from all this...?” wondered Danve, interacting with media persons. The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader pointed out how earlier it was being said that Fadnavis was behind Bhujbal’s recent protests, “which, as per recent developments, may be true”. Danve said that Bhujbal may have more aces up his sleeve, since “such decisions cannot be taken in a single day”, and the air would clear up in the next few days. Bhujbal, who had skipped the Legislature Session in Nagpur, had dropped hints claiming that a few days back, Fadnavis had assured to look into the question of OBC representation in his cabinet, soon afterwards, the two met on Monday, sending alarms in the NCP circles. Sounding confident, Bhujbal said he had informed the CM how the OBCs are irked, and who understood the entire issue, and said he would consider it, probably after 10 days or so.(Agency)

He originally joined the Army Service Corps as a Private but rose through the ranks, joining the 4th Battalion of the Yorkshire Regiment as a 2nd Lieutenant on the July 3, 1918, whilst it was recovering from losses suffered earlier in the year. Later, when the battalion was disbanded, William was with supervising German prisoners at Fort McDonald near Lille in France. At the end of the war, they wrote two thank you letters to Harrison, one in German and one in English, expressing gratitude for his "humane and fair" treatment. The English version is on display in the Green Howards Museum in Richmond , North Yorkshire. The English version of the thank you letter written to William Alexander Harrison is on display in the Green Howards Museum, Richmond (Image: THE GREEN HOWARDS MUSEUM) Signed by their Regimental Sergeant Major, the Quartermaster Sergeant, two Sergeants and two Privates, it reads: “To 2nd Lieutenant W A Harrison, 226 Company, Sir! "We German prisoners of war from the 226 P.O.W. Coy wish to thank you for the humane and fair treatment which we have received from you during the period of time in which you have been in command of us. "On the cause of our repatriation we bid you 'farewell' and we wish you the very best of luck and prosperity in the future in the name of the whole company.” The foot of the letter also features a watercolour of the camp, showing prisoners sitting around a well-stocked table and others looking at people beyond the wire. Illustration at the bottom of the English version of the letter showing German POWs eating at a well-stocked table (Image: THE GREEN HOWARDS MUSEUM) The German version has a touching scene of a prisoner being welcomed home to a cottage after his repatriation. Both versions have an array of British and French flags and a royal crown at the top. Fort Macdonald had a notorious reputation as a German POW camp. It was known as 'The Black Hole of Lille' due to the terrible conditions in which prisoners had been kept. Second Lieutenant William Alexander Harrison in First World War uniform (Image: THE GREEN HOWARDS MUSEUM) A former inmate described his experience there as "one long nightmare," adding: "Nothing was given to us to drink. There were no latrines. The filth and putrescence in the corridor outside lay inches thick on the floor... "Of all the torture subsequently endured, none equalled the 13 days and nights in the Black Hole of the fort near Lille." Second Lieutenant Harrison retired from the army in May 1922. Medals awarded to Second Lieutenant William Alexander Harrison, on display in the Green Howards Museum (Image: THE GREEN HOWARDS MUSEUM) He was awarded several medals, including the 1914-1915 Star, British War Medal, Victory Medal, and the Croix de Guerre from Belgium, all of which are on display at the Green Howards Museum.
