Fantasy Football Usage Report: Key metrics and trends about the utilization of NFL players for use in Week 15 | Sporting NewsPeople think I’m a city boy, but I’m a nature-lover. We lived in Bushey until I was seven, then we moved to a little village called Bedmond, in the countryside just outside Watford. Now, I live on a farm in West Sussex and I find it hard to leave. I prefer to talk to my dog than to a human being. My parents split when I was 12. It happens all the time now, but in those days it was hard. I went my own way after that: teenage rebellion, rowing with my old man. At 15, I packed my bags and went to Pangbourne, washing pots and pans at Bradfield College. I’m very determined when I put my mind to something. My sobriety is going well, but you never beat the drinking. I’m always working on it. You’ve got to keep busy. At the moment, touch wood, I’m healthy. When I lost my wife it was hard getting out of bed. I was inspired by a speech by Admiral William McRaven, who said that if you set yourself a mission to get up and make your bed properly in the morning, you’ve accomplished your first assignment of the day. Grief humbles you. As long as it helps people, I don’t mind them seeing me emotional. Working with men’s bereavement charities makes you a band leader of sorts. I tell my stories and try to get the other lads to play along. I get some fantastic letters. We’ve saved quite a few lives. I don’t like the “hard man” label. I played tough-but-fair football and I had my share of bar fights, but I’ve come out the other side... A lot of lads are physically tougher than me. But are they mentally as tough? Maybe not. Regrets aren’t going to be a monkey on my shoulder. I’m remorseful in some cases, but I don’t dwell on it. The Crazy Gang era was a fantastic time in my life. I was a young man causing absolute mayhem. It was brilliant. Footballers now are rock stars. They’re in a goldfish bowl with very short careers; they deserve everything they get. People say they’re on lots of money, but if you take everything they earn in 10 years and spread it across a lifespan, it evens out. My favourite film I worked on is Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels . It was the start of everything. We did that little movie, with a load of unknowns and then the next one was Snatch with Brad Pitt and Benicio del Toro. Everybody wanted to be in it. That was testament to us. I overload myself with work sometimes. Taking the dog for a walk helps me to stay calm. I like to walk through the fields and woods and sit on the riverbank – watching trout rise and leap is my meditation. Winning the FA Cup final in 1988 was a defining moment. We defeated the greatest team in Europe against all the odds. David had conquered Goliath. It’s so emotional, you’re riding high on adrenaline, you don’t need alcohol. Then you just crash. I had a two-week bender after that.

Famed football coach Bill Belichick has agreed to join the University of North Carolina, ESPN cited sources to report on Wednesday. The 72-year-old is coming back less than a year after he and the New England Patriots mutually agreed to part ways. The six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach is expected to boost UNC's football program after the team finished 6-6 in the 2024 season. Belichick has 333 career wins, nine Super Bowl appearances and six Super Bowl wins over 29 NFL seasons as head coach. But he has never coached at the collegiate level. His father, Steve Belichick, spent three seasons working as an assistant coach at North Carolina.

This bold move was led by UNC board chair John P Preyer, who focused on Belichick over recent weeks. According to reports, a deal was finalized after a five-hour meeting on Sunday. His arrival marks a stark departure from Mack Brown, who was dismissed after a 6-6 season. Brown concluded his tenure with a 44-33 record over six years, citing the conclusion as the "right time to step away" following a close loss to NC State.

When investing in technology to make the process more efficient (i.e., smarter), it is a logical place to start. Control rooms have made a major technological leap in recent years, transforming from on-site, reactive, and highly stressful spaces into professional, digital, and highly flexible environments that proactively avoid potential issues. Although they tended to look spectacular, with lots of screens or even flashing lights, traditional process control rooms were straightforward environments with limited possibilities. Operators monitored and controlled the manufacturing process on-site, based on limited sensor data. Anomalies were typically met with high stress, as it often took time to identify the root cause of the issue. This vision contrasts with that of their modern counterparts. While the screens are still in place, all information is now digitally available and can easily be distributed to any location. This means the control room could be located 100 miles away and even control multiple production plants. Alternatively, multiple small control rooms can handle day-to-day decisions, with a central crisis room managing escalations. Any configuration is possible, which makes contemporary control rooms very flexible. The large amount of available real-time data also allows staff to drastically cut the time needed to pinpoint and resolve issues. For example, in the past an alarm would be triggered when a temperature sensor exceeds a certain threshold. In most cases, a field worker would need to investigate the situation on-site. Today, a lot more information is available, allowing the control room staff to assess what’s happening from behind their desks. Boosting Efficiency The ultimate goal of the control room is to use predictive analytics to proactively prevent all emerging issues. While even the most sophisticated current systems cannot guarantee this, modern technology certainly plays a pivotal role in risk mitigation. This includes not only production hazards but also upholding safety protocols for workers. It is therefore critical that operators have direct access to all the information they need. This may sound basic, but it often isn’t the case; information is often not available in the same system. Organizations may choose to separate networks — for example, placing process data on one network, internal data on another, and a third that accesses the internet. This is a nightmare for operators, who must constantly switch between computers to do their jobs. That’s why state-of-the-art systems can integrate all information into a single (virtual) environment. Although the networks are still separated, the information appears to be in the same environment (“integration at the glass”), and operators only need a single keyboard and mouse to do their jobs, resulting in a more ergonomic way of working. Empowering the Operator The most critical presence in the control room is always the operator. Firms need to avoid overloading staff with an abundance of data. The optimal way to present and visualize the information is important and this will not only increase efficiency it will also enhance the operator’s job satisfaction and retention. For example, in Barco’s Global Control Room Report 2024 , 91 percent of operators working in highly efficient control rooms reported job satisfaction—significantly higher than the 51 percent of satisfied workers in less efficient environments. Smarter Systems, Reduced Risk In the control room every component is expected to function 24/7, and even scheduled interruptions should be minimal. How can organizations achieve this always-on ideal? The Barco report recommends investing in high-quality equipment. Control rooms are typically environments designed for the long haul, and this should be reflected in the hardware and software. Redundancy of all critical components, with seamless takeovers when the original unit fails, also helps ensure uptime. However, not all risks are related to the system. External threats, such as hackers, can arise. Security breaches can result in weeks of downtime or millions of dollars in ransom payments. Systems should therefore be extremely secure, shielding against all possible penetration attempts. Some organizations address this by completely isolating their critical systems (so-called “air-gapping”). However, this is not 100 percent safe and it can create a false sense of security while severely limiting system flexibility. Instead, the modern approach is to deploy a software platform that is completely secure upon installation (“secure by default”).

By CHRISTOPHER RUGABER WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday named Andrew Ferguson as the next chair of the Federal Trade Commission . He will replace Lina Khan, who became a lightning rod for Wall Street and Silicon Valley by blocking billions of dollars’ worth of corporate acquisitions and suing Amazon and Meta while alleging anticompetitive behavior . Ferguson is already one of the FTC’s five commissioners, which is currently made up of three Democrats and two Republicans. “Andrew has a proven record of standing up to Big Tech censorship, and protecting Freedom of Speech in our Great Country,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding, “Andrew will be the most America First, and pro-innovation FTC Chair in our Country’s History.” Related Articles National Politics | Donald Trump is returning to the world stage.

The new chair is expected to appoint new directors of the FTC’s antitrust and consumer protection divisions. “These changes likely will make the FTC more favorable to business than it has been in recent years, though the extent to which is to be determined,” wrote Anthony DiResta, a consumer protection attorney at Holland & Knight, in a recent analysis . Deals that were blocked by the Biden administration could find new life with Trump in command. For example, the new leadership could be more open to a proposed merger between the country’s two biggest supermarket chains, Kroger and Albertsons, which forged a $24.6 billion deal to combine in 2022. Two judges halted the merger Tuesday night. The FTC had filed a lawsuit in federal court earlier this year to block the merger, claiming the deal would eliminate competition, leading to higher prices and lower wages for workers. The two companies say a merger would help them lower prices and compete against bigger rivals like Walmart. One of the judges said the FTC had shown it was likely to prevail in the administrative hearing. Yet given the widespread public concern over high grocery prices, the Trump administration may not fully abandon the FTC’s efforts to block the deal, some experts have said. And the FTC may continue to scrutinize Big Tech firms for any anticompetitive behavior. Many Republican politicians have accused firms such as Meta of censoring conservative views, and some officials in Trump’s orbit, most notably Vice President-elect JD Vance, have previously expressed support for Khan’s scrutiny of Big Tech firms. In addition to Fergson, Trump also announced Tuesday that he had selected Jacob Helberg as the next undersecretary of state for economic growth, energy and the environment.Northern Colorado volleyball to play Arkansas State in Great 8 at National Invitational Volleyball Championship

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The top of the NFC standings are towering over the Green Bay Packers as they move toward the playoffs, casting a long shadow shaped like Vikings, Lions and Eagles over what has been an otherwise-promising season on both sides of the ball. For as well as the Packers (11-5) had been playing down the stretch, they left Minnesota with a rather murky outlook for the playoffs after stumbling into a 17-point deficit that proved too large for their late surge in the 27-25 loss to the Vikings on Sunday . “They continued to compete and battle, but you just can’t do that against good teams. The margins in this league, especially against a good football team, are razor thin," coach Matt LaFleur said. "I don’t think we were at our best, but that’s a credit to them in our slow start — and that’s me as much as anybody.” The Packers gained 126 yards in the fourth quarter and still finished with a season-low 271 yards. The defense allowed 441 yards, which was also a season worst. The most glaring set of numbers after this frustrating afternoon, though, was this: 0-5. That's Green Bay's record against the top three teams in the NFC: Minnesota, Detroit and Philadelphia. There's no shame in losing to those opponents that carry a combined 40-7 record into Monday, particularly when four of those defeats — save for the 10-point loss to the Lions on Nov. 3 — came by a total of 12 points. “It’s not about who we can and can’t beat. We can beat everybody. If we figure out how to finish, we’ll win games,” cornerback Keisean Nixon said. But the Packers will more than likely be on the road the entire time they're alive in the playoffs, so any path to the Super Bowl would undoubtedly trigger rematches with one, two or even all three teams from that daunting trio. The Packers clearly aren't overmatched by the Vikings, Lions or Eagles, but in games against those premier foes that significantly shrink the margins for error the Packers have shown a troubling pattern of not meeting the moment with too many ill-timed mistakes and not enough big-time plays. “It's hard when you put yourself in a hole and are down early and just kind of shooting yourself in the foot,” quarterback Jordan Love said. “There’s so much stuff to clean up and get better at, but I think we’re still a really good team. We can put up points. But when you put yourself in a hole, it’s just hard to climb out of that hole. And when it’s a good team like the Vikings, you know, it just makes it even tougher.” The red flag came right away. Josh Jacobs, the NFL 's fourth-leading rusher, had just given the Packers a second first down on the opening drive of the game when defensive tackle Jerry Tillery pushed the ball out and safety Cam Bynum recovered at the Minnesota 38. Jacobs had gone 11 straight games without fumbling until losing one at Seattle on Dec. 15. Now he has coughed up the ball twice in three games. “I feel like it drained the energy out of the team just starting early,” Jacobs said. “I take it personal on getting the team to start fast and things like that. Yeah, that’s on me.” Though the Vikings punted on the subsequent possession, they moved the ball enough to flip the field position. Perhaps wary of the fumble getting in Jacobs' head, LaFleur then called three straight passes from their own 15-yard line, and Love was off the mark on all three to force a punt. After a breakout performance here a year ago in a 33-10 victory over the Vikings that helped the Packers squeak into the playoffs after a rough start and ride the momentum through a first-round win at Dallas, Love looked awfully amid the cocktail of blitzes ordered by Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores that fueled a fierce pass rush. He finished 19 for 30 for 185 yards and one touchdown. “They do a good job of keeping a lid on the coverage. That’s how they play," LaFleur said. "We knew that going in, so there was going to be minimal opportunities to push the ball down the field. You've got to be super efficient. You've got to stay on schedule because once they get you into third down, that’s where they’re really good.” ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL Dave Campbell, The Associated PressLondon faces fresh EU battle over lucrative derivatives marketDemocratic Sen.

A leading surgeon left feeling “exhausted and burdened” after working tirelessly for 70 hours per week has revealed the “revolutionary” tool that has changed his life. Dr. Michael Ewing shared a video on LinkedIn earlier this week, detailing how the product has not only given him back precious time with his family and children – but also saved patients’ lives . Like many doctors, the 36-year-old dad spent his residency overworked, l ogging hundreds of hours . Much of Dr Ewing’s workload was actually down to endless charting, rather than focusing on his true passion: patient care. McDonald's fans share secret hack for making famous chicken nuggets extra crispy Home chef shares 'flu bomb' recipe that 'gets rid of illness in just three days' He longed to find a solution to have the capacity to be more present and now, he’s found it, through a “game-changing” tool called SurgeOn Scribe , launching today (10 December). Using AI technology, the feature automates the clinical documentation process – cutting down on mistakes, saving time and also whittling out the likelihood of any legal problems. “Doctors want to help people – that’s why we chose this path – but we are forced to spend so much time charting, when all we really want to do is to talk and listen to our patients,” said Dr Ewing. “I see about 50-60 patients a week and I have to remember small details, regardless of the situation," he said. “But doctors are only human – there’s a lot of mental stress and a lot of time that’s wasted by trying to recount visits. “On top of that, we are constantly being pulled in multiple directions and there’s always another emergency going on." He added “I save at least an hour a day in the clinic now and I can’t tell you how valuable it is for my mental capacity. Not only that, but I now spend 95% of patient visits listening to what patients are saying rather than making mental notes or being distracted by the demands of charting." “Reviewing my own experience, I calculated that saving time on chart notes could allow surgeons to see up to an additional seven people per day in a half-day clinic," he claimed. “This AI tool will save patient’s lives.” Growing up, Dr. Ewing, who is originally from Dallas, Texas, actually wanted to be a professional guitar player. He was working in an ER while studying music at the Dallas Baptist University, when he became fascinated by the medical profession – which led him to switch courses completely. The doctor said: “I had been working as a scribe to make extra money but didn’t expect to be so inspired by how physicians worked with their hands." “Surgery specifically has the ability to cure people in certain situations and this spoke to me," he said. "So I switched college tracts, which was not easy." “Surgical training is exhausting and surgical life as an attending is even more exhausting due to the constant demands of patients, continued Ewing. “It keeps you from your family and there is also a mental strain. “Now, with SurgeOn Scribe, I get home an hour earlier twice a week, allowing me to see my children more," he championed.“I can also take an extra day off every month, which is life-changing for my family." “Time is my most valuable asset and this tool gives it to me in droves.” With burnout becoming more common in the medical field, Dr.Ewing knew there must be a better way of working and found himself wanting to do something to help. His feelings were echoed by three other surgeons in the field; Dr Jeremy Heffner, Dr.Mario Leyba and Dr. Mark Soliman. The trio founded the app SurgeOn, with the aim of putting an end to the “isolation” felt universally among surgeons. It allows medical professionals to share cases and complexities of a job that most non-surgeons have a tough time relating to. But more needed to be done and that’s when Scribe was born. The new feature, which is found within the app and is launching today, hopes to provide a better patient experience. It allows users to transcribe medical notes either straight onto the computer or, if connectivity is low, onto an Apple Watch. Partnering with MedQuill, an AI-powered medical documentation platform that Dr Ewing helped create, this new product will help SurgeOn’s network of over 15,000 surgeons get their lives back. “For surgeons, our work-life balance is dictated by others more than people realize,” added Dr. Heffner, co-founder of SurgeOn. “Note writing and documentation has eaten up a significant portion of our lives. For the first time in years, we can truly connect with patients and have meaningful conversations with them." “I also have more time to be with my family, and maintain my own fitness levels and mental health," he added “As I age I have truly realised the value of time as a commodity, therefore having more time is priceless.” DAILY NEWSLETTER: Sign up here to get the latest news and updates from the Mirror US straight to your inbox with our FREE newsletter.AKM is concerned with helping build assistive technologies for senior citizens. Last month, semiconductor company Asahi Kasei Microdevices (AKM) put out a press release in which it announced it will show off a “suite of sensor technologies” at the Consumer Electronics Show next month in Las Vegas, which includes millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar and contactless monitoring, that are purported to be “more reliable and accessible while minimizing intrusion into users’ lives.” AKM added by combining artificial intelligence with high quality data, the company’s primary goal is to “transform how we support and care for seniors, making the expectation of aging in place a safer reality for millions.” “These technologies are designed to be less intrusive and are significantly more accurate than current industry standards,” Gregg Rouse, president of AKM’s United States business unit, said a statement for the announcement. “What sets these components apart is a focus on privacy thanks to our mmWave radar, which presents a new way of monitoring through electromagnetic waves instead of cameras. Our sensors don’t know what you look like, just how you’re doing. AKM’s technology captures essential health indicators as anonymous data points. This allows AI systems to enhance care and safety without infringing on personal privacy and allows users to feel independent.” In a recent interview, Rouse explained AKM is the electronic components business group of Asahi Kasei Corporation . As such, he told me AKM offers “a variety of advanced sensing devices based on compound semiconductor technology and sophisticated [integrated circuit] products featuring analog/digital mixed-signal technology.” He described the semiconductors from AKM as “essential” to everyday life, as the technology appears in products such as car audio systems, CO2 sensors for in-home environmental monitoring devices, amongst others. One such other is hearing aids. Rouse said AKM has observed “a significant trend” whereby numerous health-oriented technologies are being integrated into consumer electronics such as wearables. Apple Watch and AirPods are two high-profile examples of this trajectory; indeed, all the buzz in recent weeks has been around the new hearing aid capability Apple added to AirPods Pro with the iOS 18.1 update the company pushed out in late October. “Adding our contactless temperature sensor to a hearing aid makes it much more than just an assistive listening device; now it’s a health monitoring tool as well, without the user having to carry around an additional gadget,” Rouse said of AKM’s technology. “This integration reduces the inconvenience of frequent health checks and seamlessly integrates care into daily routines. This advancement can serve as a transformative step in improving patients’ lives by empowering them with accessible, continuous, and unobtrusive healthcare solutions.” FBI Warns iPhone, Android Users—Change WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Signal Apps What We Know About Luigi Mangione: Alleged UnitedHealthcare Shooter’s Gun Matches Shell Casings From Scene, NYPD Says Facebook And Instagram Down: Here’s What We Know About Widespread Outages Rouse said health tech “aligns” with AKM’s institutional values system,” adding it motivates the company to push harder in completing its mission to "enhance daily life through innovative solutions.” He reiterated the tech industry’s ever-burgeoning interest in health monitoring, telling me the desire to do so is becoming “increasingly prevalent” particularly as AI-powered algorithms become evermore capable. This software, Rouse said to me, is dependent upon high quality data—which AKM’s sensors are ready and willing to provide devices. “Companies are looking for this type of technology,” Rouse said. “Many companies want to add sensors to their designs, but challenges exist. Many devices are too big to fit into a wearable without making it so large it is uncomfortable to the user, or would require a large battery due to high power consumption. We don’t have those issues.” Rouse described AKM’s quantum temperature sensor as being contactless, which is of crucial import because “it allows wearable devices to move with the body while still providing accurate measurements.” Besides being tiny, he also said AKM’s device is both accurate and, arguably most importantly, extremely power-efficient. When asked who benefits from this technology, Rouse said AKM’s tech being “small, unobtrusive, and very accurate” enables a person—who may wear a hearing aid—to go about their days without needing to concern themselves with comfort or range of motion. A person can live their life without altering their daily routine so as to fit the device. “Anyone who wants to keep an eye on health markers without devoting additional time and effort to the cause should find this approach very appealing,” Rouse said. “This technology can serve caregivers who are balancing many duties and patients at once. It reduces the labor required of caregivers and provides patients independence.” When asked about feedback on AKM’s technology, Rouse said it has been “positive.” As to AKM’s prospects for the future, he noted AKM is looking beyond sensors by developing millimeter-wave radar technology so as to “monitor the well-being of elderly individuals in a non-intrusive, camera-free way.” This method preserves user privacy while also ensuring their safety. Additionally, Rouse said AKM is working on a “smart diaper” concept which, in another nod to accessibility for disabled parents, is capable of detecting moisture levels and can send alerts accordingly. The diaper product in particular, Rouse told me, “exemplifies our dedication to providing essential care solutions.” All told, Rouse said both of these innovations are shining examples of AKM’s steadfast commitment to “leveraging sensor technology to improve health, safety, and independence for people of all ages.”The Role of Setra Sensors, Honeywell Valves, and Voltage Converters in Modern Technology(All times Eastern) Schedule subject to change and/or blackouts Tuesday, Nov. 26 CANADIAN HOCKEY LEAGUE 7 p.m. NHLN — CHL/USA Prospects Challenge: From London, Ontario COLLEGE BASKETBALL (MEN’S) 1:30 p.m. CBSSN — Sunshine Slam Beach Bracket: TBD, Third-Place Game, Daytona Beach, Fla. 2 p.m. TBS — Players Era Festival: San Diego St. vs. Creighton, Las Vegas 3:30 p.m. ESPN2 — Maui Invitational: TBD, Consolation Semifinal, Maui, Hawaii 4 p.m. CBSSN — Sunshine Slam Beach Bracket: TBD, Championship, Daytona Beach, Fla. 4:30 p.m. TBS — Oregon vs. Texas A&M, Las Vegas 6 p.m. CBSSN — Sunshine Slam Ocean Bracket: Wyoming vs. Tulane, Semifinal, Riviera Maya, Mexico ESPN — Maui Invitational: TBD, Semifinal, Maui, Hawaii 6:30 p.m. ESPNU — W.
