The game came down to the wire, with both teams trading baskets in the final minutes. With the score tied and time winding down, Towns took matters into his own hands, knocking down a mid-range jumper to give the Knicks the lead. On the ensuing possession, Towns came up with a crucial block to thwart the Raptors' last-ditch effort to tie the game. The Knicks held on for a hard-fought 108-106 victory, much to the delight of their fans.QU opens applications for 3rd Edition of Qatar Entrepreneurship AwardsEvery Helicopter Made By Kawasaki (And What They're Used For)
As the much-anticipated release of "Ming Dynasty: Feathers of Abyss" approaches, the overseas promotion campaign has kicked into high gear, showcasing the film's breathtaking visuals and jaw-dropping combat sequences that promise to dazzle audiences worldwide.
Realizing the urgency of the situation, one of the firefighters, named John, decided to take matters into his own hands and devise a makeshift tool to retrieve the phone. Using a long piece of metal tubing, a pair of pliers, and some duct tape, John ingeniously crafted a grappling hook that could reach the phone lodged deep within the drain. With careful precision and steady hands, he maneuvered the tool through the narrow opening, gradually inching closer to the elusive phone.
Beirut, Dec 7 (AP) Insurgents' stunning march across Syria accelerated on Saturday with news that they had reached the gates of the capital and that government forces had abandoned the central city of Homs. The government was forced to deny rumours that President Bashar Assad had fled the country. The loss of Homs is a potentially crippling blow for Assad. It stands at an important intersection between Damascus, the capital, and Syria's coastal provinces of Latakia and Tartus — the Syrian leader's base of support and home to a Russian strategic naval base. The pro-government Sham FM news outlet reported that government forces took positions outside Syria's third-largest city, without elaborating. Rami Abdurrahman who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said Syrian troops and members of different security agencies have withdrawn from the city, adding that rebels have entered parts of it. The insurgency announced later Saturday that it had taken over Homs. The city's capture is a major victory for the rebels, who have already seized the cities of Aleppo and Hama, as well as large parts of the south, in a lightning offensive that began November 27. Analysts said rebel control of Homs would be a game-changer. The rebels' moves around Damascus, reported by the monitor and a rebel commander, came after the Syrian army withdrew from much of southern part of the country, leaving more areas, including several provincial capitals, under the control of opposition fighters. For the first time in the country's long-running civil war, the government now has control of only three of 14 provincial capitals: Damascus, Latakia and Tartus. The advances in the past week were among the largest in recent years by opposition factions, led by a group that has its origins in al-Qaida and is considered a terrorist organisation by the US and the United Nations. In their push to overthrow Assad's government, the insurgents, led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group, or HTS, have met little resistance from the Syrian army. The rapid rebel gains, coupled with the lack of support from Assad's erstwhile allies, posed the most serious threat to his rule since the start of the war. The UN's special envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen, on Saturday called for urgent talks in Geneva to ensure an “orderly political transition”. Speaking to reporters at the annual Doha Forum in Qatar, he said the situation in Syria was changing by the minute. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, whose country is Assad's chief international backer, said he feels “sorry for the Syrian people”. In Damascus, people rushed to stock up on supplies. Thousands went to Syria's border with Lebanon, trying to leave the country. Many shops in the capital were shuttered, a resident told The Associated Press, and those still open ran out of staples such as sugar. Some were selling items at three times the normal price. “The situation is very strange. We are not used to that,” the resident said, insisting on anonymity, fearing retributions. “People are worried whether there will be a battle (in Damascus) or not.” It was the first time that opposition forces reached the outskirts of Damascus since 2018, when Syrian troops recaptured the area following a years-long siege. The UN said it was moving noncritical staff outside the country as a precaution. Assad's status Syria's state media denied social media rumours that Assad left the country, saying he is performing his duties in Damascus. He has had little, if any, help from his allies. Russia, is busy with its war in Ukraine. Lebanon's Hezbollah, which at one point sent thousands of fighters to shore up Assad's forces, has been weakened by a yearlong conflict with Israel. Iran has seen its proxies across the region degraded by regular Israeli airstrikes. US President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday posted on social media that that the United States should avoid engaging militarily in Syria. Pedersen said a date for talks in Geneva on the implementation a UN resolution, adopted in 2015, and calling for a Syrian-led political process, would be announced later. The resolution calls for the establishment of a transitional governing body, followed by the drafting of a new constitution and ending with UN-supervised elections. Later Saturday, foreign ministers and senior diplomats from eight key countries, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Egypt, Turkiye and Iran, along with Pederson, gathered on the sidelines of the Doha Summit to discuss the situation in Syria. In a statement issued late Saturday, the participants affirmed their support for a political solution to the Syrian crisis “that would lead to the end of military activity and protect civilians”. They also agreed on the importance of strengthening international efforts to increase aid to the Syrian people. The insurgents' march Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, said insurgents were in the Damascus suburbs of Maadamiyah, Jaramana and Daraya. Opposition fighters were marching toward the Damascus suburb of Harasta, he added. A commander with the insurgents, Hassan Abdul-Ghani, posted on the Telegram messaging app that opposition forces had begun the “final stage” of their offensive by encircling Damascus. HTS controls much of northwest Syria and in 2017 set up a “salvation government” to run day-to-day affairs in the region. In recent years, HTS leader Abu Mohammed al-Golani has sought to remake the group's image, cutting ties with al-Qaida, ditching hard-line officials and vowing to embrace pluralism and religious tolerance. The shock offensive began November 27, during which gunmen captured the northern city of Aleppo, Syria's largest, and the central city of Hama, the country's fourth largest city. Opposition activists said on Saturday that a day earlier, insurgents entered Palmyra, which is home to invaluable archaeological sites had been in government hands since being taken from the Islamic State group in 2017. To the south, Syrian troops left much of the province of Quneitra including the main Baath City, activists said. Syrian Observatory said government troops have withdrawn from much of the two southern provinces. The Syrian army said in a statement that it carried out redeployment and repositioning in Sweida and Daraa after its checkpoints came under attack by “terrorists." The army said it was setting up a “strong and coherent defensive and security belt in the area”, apparently to defend Damascus from the south. The Syrian government has referred to opposition gunmen as terrorists since conflict broke out in March 2011. Diplomacy in Doha The foreign ministers of Iran, Russia and Turkiye, meeting in Qatar, called for an end to the hostilities. Turkiye is a main backer of the rebels. Qatar's top diplomat, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, criticised Assad for failing to take advantage of the lull in fighting in recent years to address the country's underlying problems. “Assad didn't seize this opportunity to start engaging and restoring his relationship with his people,” he said. Sheikh Mohammed said he was surprised by how quickly the rebels have advanced and said there is a real threat to Syria's “territorial integrity”. He said the war could “damage and destroy what is left if there is no sense of urgency” to start a political process.

From barely any just a few years ago, the US has now installed 20 GW of grid-scale battery storage for its electric grid — equivalent to twenty 1 MW nuclear power plants. 5 GW of that total occurred in just the first seven months of this year, according to the federal Energy Information Administration. The EIA predicts total grid-scale battery storage capacity could double again to 40 GW by the end of next year if the new projects already in the pipeline are completed. It also predicts grid-scale storage batteries will provide about 40% of all the world’s short-term electricity needs by 2050. California and Texas, which both saw all-time highs in battery-discharged grid power this month, are leading the way in this growth, with enormous grid-scale storage batteries helping to manage the large amount of clean but intermittent solar and wind energy those states have added in recent years. The battery systems helped keep the lights on in California this summer, when in previous years the state experienced electricity rationing or blackouts during intense heatwaves when the use of air conditioning soared and power lines were toppled by wildfires. “We can leverage that stored energy and dispatch it when we need it,” Patti Poppe, chief executive of PG&E, California’s largest utility, said last month. “It’s been extraordinary growth,” said John Moura, director of reliability assessment and performance analysis at the North American Electric Reliability Corporation. “It’s still technology that we are getting used to working with because the system wasn’t designed for it, but from a reliability perspective it presents a golden opportunity. This changes the whole paradigm of producing electricity, delivering it and consuming it. Storage gives us a bit of a time machine to deliver it when we need it. There are a lot of changes happening but monstrous action is still needed if we are going to make this energy transition,” he said. The rapid growth of clean energy such as solar and wind provides more peaks and troughs of production that need to be actively managed in order to maintain a reliable grid. “Batteries can smooth out some of that variability from those times when the wind isn’t blowing or the sun isn’t shining. The Germans have a word for this sort of drought: Dunkelflaute,” said Moura. “So if you have a four hour storage battery, that can get you through a Dunkelflaute.” Most grid storage batteries can only supply power back to the grid for about four hours, which creates an opportunity that many companies hope to exploit with longer duration batteries. Much of that technology is still in its infancy. Until they are commercially available, a fully decarbonized grid will require a big increase in long distance transmission lines in the US to transfer renewable energy from where it is produced to where it is needed. The permitting reform to allow this is a bitterly contested issue, with many environmental groups opposed to looser regulations they say will only empower thermal generation from coal or methane. In Texas, Element Energy is operating what may be the largest grid-scale storage installation in the US that uses cells from battery EV battery packs that are no longer able to serve as traction batteries. Used batteries are cheaper than new batteries, but making them safe to use is the key to Element’s success. The 53 MWh project is located in West Texas at a wind farm owned by Nextera Energy Resources. CEO Tony Stratakos told Canary Media recently, “It’s really a very nice, living demonstration that everything we talked about last time has come to fruition and works. The promise of our technology is, we can operate batteries that others can’t.” Previously, the largest second-life grid battery was a B2U Storage Solutions project in Lancaster, California, which has 28 MWh of storage. Element gained access to a warehouse full of modules taken out of used EV battery packs — Canary Media suspects they may have come from first generation Chevy Bolts — in various states of health. It repackages them into containers operated by its proprietary hardware and software, which fine-tune commands at the cell level instead of treating all the batteries as a monolithic whole. This enables the system to get more use out of each cell without stressing any so much that they break down or cause a fire. The success of the West Texas installation is expected to attract interest from other customers who may have been reluctant to use second-life batteries previously despite their lower cost. Element has finalized a partnership with LG Energy Solution Vertech, the grid storage division of the South Korean battery manufacturer. It just so happens, LG was the supplier of the original Chevy Bolt batteries. LG will provide operations and maintenance, alleviating the risks associated with buying a long-term grid asset from a young startup like Element. The actual installation process turned out to be “a learning experience,” Stratakos said, meaning it took longer and cost more than initially planned, “but it was worth it,” he said. The company honed its technique for integrating the batteries into large-scale power plants, and improved its enclosure design along the way. Now it is getting real world data from daily plant operations in the ERCOT energy markets. “There is a lot of talk in this category,” said Tim Woodward, who invested in Element as managing director at Prelude Ventures. This project shows Element can operate at the scale necessary “to get the big guys” — in other words, large, sophisticated clean energy developers. The company is now exploring where to build a factory capable of assembling multiple gigawatt-hours of used battery enclosures per year, Stratakos said. In the meantime, he is working to close a number of deals with the 2 gigawatt-hours of second-life batteries Element has stockpiled in a warehouse in Kentucky. “I don’t think anyone has [a large volume of second-life batteries] sitting there, ready to be deployed,” Woodward said. “Batteries are lasting longer in the field than anticipated. It’s not that common that you’re seeing batteries pulled out of even the earliest Teslas.” Further success will involve winning over grid storage developers, who currently buy new batteries nearly 100% of the time. The backing from LG will help calm any fears potential customers might have. Second-life startups typically highlight the sustainability aspects of using them to attract first-time customers. Used batteries can reduce the environmental costs of the energy transition and keep valuable battery materials out of landfills. When it comes to actually closing a deal, though, “The number one issue is cost,” Stratakos said. Sustainability and circularity are definitely factors that customers consider, but ultimately that’s “more of a bonus.” Element says it can cut 30 to 50% off the cost on a fully installed basis. Last week in Baku, a contingent of Republican representatives were preening and strutting for anyone who would listen about how coal and methane are essential to meet supply baseload power. That is partially accurate, but longer duration grid storage batteries are coming for that baseload power, and what will they have to say then? Storage batteries can do things spinning reserves cannot, such as manage frequency and voltage variations in near real-time fashion. That capability can generate revenue for the battery owners and operators. As Stratakos says, the number one issue is cost, and when long-term energy storage is cheaper than thermally generated baseload power, that will be all she wrote for coal and methane. Of course, then the fossil fuel fanatics will resort to mandates to stay in business, even though mandates are supposedly anathema to them. Nothing says hypocrisy like people who talk out of both sides of their mouth to preserve their status and revenue streams.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — LeJuan Watts had 20 points in Washington State's 74-69 victory against Boise State on Saturday night. Watts had 11 rebounds and six assists for the Cougars (8-2). Dane Erikstrup scored 14 points while shooting 6 for 10 (2 for 5 from 3-point range) and 0 of 3 from the free-throw line. Isaiah Watts had 12 points and shot 5 for 9, including 2 for 5 from beyond the arc. Andrew Meadow led the Broncos (6-3) in scoring, finishing with 21 points and seven rebounds. Tyson Degenhart added 18 points for Boise State. Alvaro Cardenas Torre also had 10 points, six rebounds, five assists and two steals. Isaiah Watts scored nine points in the first half for Washington State, who led 44-24 at the break. LeJuan Watts led Washington State with 12 points in the second half as their team was outscored by 15 points over the final half but hung on for the victory. The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .However, despite the glowing praise from Amolink and the growing speculation about Rashford's potential, Manchester United is yet to make a definitive decision on his future at the club. With contract negotiations reportedly ongoing and transfer rumors circulating, there is a sense of uncertainty surrounding Rashford's long-term prospects at Old Trafford.
We all know what it feels like to witness our favourite TV show slowly decline in quality. It's a pretty heart-wrenching feeling — and it seems to happen more often than not. So when you find a show that IS good right until the end, it's ultra-satisfying and honestly feels rare. So I did my research on both X and Reddit to compile some TV shows in both categories : the ones that were good until the end , and those that totally declined in quality over time. And now, it's time to go through them! To start off, here are 15 shows that were actually good until the end: 1. Breaking Bad Yes, we all knew this show would be on this list. Because it's the best show ever, duh. At five seasons, BrBa was just the perfect length, giving characters ample time to grow, but wrapping the story at a sensical point. Not one episode of this show was wasted (yes, even "Fly"), but it wasn't rushed, either. Vince Gilligan knew exactly where he wanted this show to go, and had it all methodically planned out . And you can tell when you watch Breaking Bad . 2. Succession I feel like everyone and their mother talked about Succession when it was running. And honestly, it's still pretty widely discussed now. Succession is a 4-season show, and even though the ending left some people feeling "underwhelmed," TBH, it's better than a show droning on without any real purpose. Plus, Jesse Armstrong, the guy who created the show, said he knew how he wanted it to end for a long time. 3. The Good Place I genuinely don't think this show could get more perfect. It's super quick, at only 4 seasons of 20-minute episodes, it's beyond smart, and it's also super hilarious, with an adorable cast of characters. Also, virtually all fans agree this show's ending goes down in history as one of the best — if not THE best — ever. 4. Parks and Recreation Yes, this show was 7 seasons, which does sort of feel like a lot...but this show just gets more amazing as it goes on, which, honestly, is pretty unique for a long-running sitcom. I know I'm not the only one who could sit and watch Leslie Knope's life for years at a time. The characters are just so lovable, and the storylines are hilarious and interesting! 5. Gravity Falls Everyone pretty much agrees that Gravity Falls started great, continued that way, and ended off just as strong — so much that fans still want more seasons to this day. It's one of those shows that's 100% worth a rewatch (or two). It's honestly sad that this show ended in the first place, but hey, look on the bright side: at least it's ALL good. Maybe we'll get more Gravity Falls in the future. 6. Veep Veep has seven seasons, but honestly, you can fly through this show pretty quickly. It's interesting and clever right until the very end. Plus, Veep is actually funny, as well. Perhaps it would hit a bit too close to home at the moment, but in general, it's definitely worth a watch if political dramas interest you. 7. The West Wing This one has seven seasons as well. And besides the incredible cast, this one is another political drama worth a watch — or a rewatch, honestly. Fans do say this show falls off a bit for season 5, which is a bit of a touchy topic among the West Wing fandom...but the good news is, unlike a lot of other shows, it picked back up just in time for seasons 6 and 7. 8. Malcolm in the Middle If you've never seen this '00s comedy show, you absolutely MUST. It's downright adorable! Maybe this is also a testament to the characters — like, it's pretty much impossible not to absolutely love Hal — but still. This show feels so real and is so relatable, you just can't help but love it right until the end. It's also cool being able to see the kids grow up. 9. Schitt's Creek No, I'm not biased in including this one just because it's Canadian and so am I! The fact is, this show is a rare one — because it got better with every episode. No wonder this show is addictive given how much chemistry the cast has, both on-screen and off, but I'm convinced I'd love it either way. Basically, once you start this show, good luck ever stopping. It's brilliant and hilarious. 10. Mindhunter I know, this is a totally different vibe than the rest of the list, but it's a crime (hehe, no pun intended) that this show ended after only 2 seasons. It's no wonder this show was so good, because it's based on a book — and you know, all the best movies and TV shows were based on books. That, and the concept is just mind-blowing. 11. Seinfeld This is a super long-running sitcom, consisting of a whopping TEN seasons. But like, with the magic behind this show and the actors, I wouldn't have blamed them if they let this show go on even longer. But Jerry Seinfeld himself pulled a smart move in 1998 and allegedly turned down $100 million to film another season, reflecting on his "sense of timing." 12. Fleabag Another show that just got better as it progressed! It only has two seasons — but it's one of those shows where you can't really pinpoint a flaw. Of course, season 1 is what hooked fans onto the show, but season 2 is even better. Forbes commented that this show is a rare one that "doesn't waste a scene," and honestly, that's obvious when you've seen the show. 13. Avatar: The Last Airbender There's a reason this animated series is being talked about so much, even 20 years after it first aired. It's the same reason Netflix released a live-action version of this show just this year, in February 2024. That's because this show is JUST SO DANG GOOD — I swear, the hype is worth it. You obviously can't beat the original. 14. Better Call Saul If Breaking Bad is on this list, you know Better Call Saul is, too. This show had six seasons. Fans want more, of course, but I'm beginning to think that's the sign that the show ended where it was supposed to. "You've got to know when to leave the party," creator Vince Gilligan told The Hollywood Reporter when asked about the show's final season. 15. Mister Rogers' Neighborhood Another big switch-up here, but there's a reason this show made it onto Variety's list of the best TV shows of all time despite being a children's show. (No hate to children's shows, but you know what I mean). Fred Rogers himself is a big reason why people love this show, but again, it's also one of those that kept getting better despite having a whopping 31 seasons. And now, here are some that may have started out awesome, but ended poorly, according to fans: 16. Grey's Anatomy You knew this was coming. I've honestly lost track of whether this show is even still on the air anymore — apparently it's almost on its 21st season — but even die-hard fans agree it's not even close to what it used to be. 17. Glee Where are all my Gleeks at? All of us know the first three seasons of this show were elite. After much of the original cast "graduated," it just wasn't the same. But I still stand behind this show hands-down, and the last two episodes are pretty cute, still! This doesn't diminish my Gleek status at all. 18. The Office Again, this one is sort of a no-brainer — we all know after Michael left in season 7, things got a bit rough around the edges for The Office . Although, I will say, I did love the way this show ended; the last episode always brings me to tears, and I'll always call this my favourite show regardless of the last few seasons maybe not being as good. The fact is, those last few seasons are still better than most other sitcoms I've watched. 19. How I Met Your Mother Everyone I know feels pretty much the same way about the ending of this show: it was underwhelming and not that great. I feel like it's not much of an exaggeration to say the ending of this show has caused actual chaos in the fandom. Still, though, it's worth watching despite the ending! Which says something about how awesome the rest of the show is. 20. Heroes Here's one example of a relatively short show that still didn't end well, according to fans. Heroes hooked fans right from the start, but by the fourth and final season, critics and fans alike had it. Specifically, they called it "ill-conceived and poorly executed," like the writers had "given up." Yikes. 21. The Walking Dead You can expect an 11-season show to degrade in quality at least a little bit, and that's sort of what fans think happened with The Walking Dead . That, and when certain beloved characters die, it's hard at times to keep watching. Now? Lots of fans have stopped watching, and film buffs have gone as far as to analyze "what went wrong." 22. Dexter Despite being a super popular show that even got its own spinoff in 2021, some fans aren't too happy with the way Dexter ended. Fans were not just a little bit underwhelmed with the ending, but they also felt like it was rushed. With so much build-up and fans who have stuck around for years, it's hard to feel unsatisfied by an ending. Unfortunately, that happened with Dexter . 23. Lost The ending of show has been debated and discussed for years...and not always for the best reasons. Without giving anything away, it definitely took some shocking turns — and while it was definitely unexpected, many fans didn't respond well to it. Although, hey, if the point of a TV show is to generate discussion, this one just might take the cake. 24. Game of Thrones Don't get me wrong: GOT is one of the greatest shows of all time. But even actors in the show itself have admitted that the ending was rushed and could've been better, considering how amazing the rest of the series was. It really is a shame, because I know this would rank much higher on people's favourite TV shows list if the ending had been different. 25. Roseanne This 10-season show began in the 1980s, and by the time it ended, it seems like fans got a bit checked out. One fan on Reddit called the final season of this show "unwatchable," which is a sentiment shared by many fans who stuck around for years. Again, I won't give anything away, but one particular shift in the plot may have raised eyebrows in particular, and steered the show in a questionable direction for fans. 26. Scrubs My entire family is obsessed with this show — but still, like many others in the Scrubs fandom, we blatantly ignore the entire last season of this show. Even Zach Braff himself, who plays protagonist J.D., has acknowledged the lacklustre last season, explaining that everyone was tired by that pont. He also confessed that they'd started to "repeat jokes." 27. Riverdale OK, I'll admit it: I definitely watched (and maybe even enjoyed) the first season of this show. But as soon as that was over, I genuinely couldn't watch it anymore. Like, when I found out there were SEVEN seasons of this show, my jaw dropped. Who was watching this show by the end? WHO??? 28. Pretty Little Liars Listen, PLL has a special place in all of our hearts. But for a wild mystery that takes you for a ride throughout all seven seasons, all to find out who "A" is — the ending is a bit ridiculous. Because if all the suspense and all the plot twists don't lead to a satisfying ending, it puts an extra sour taste in fans' mouths when it comes to the show as a whole. Plus, not only did the reveal confuse and annoy fans, but the end of the show just wasn't the greatest in general. Any shows we missed, in either of these two categories? Tell us in the comments below! And make sure you follow BuzzFeed Canada on TikTok and Instagram for more.

Ultimately, the balance between passenger convenience and safety remains a crucial consideration for transportation authorities when formulating policies regarding the carriage of personal items on trains.
