Glance into windows as you walk down any street at the moment and you’ll be greeted by the sight of fairy lights twinkling from within fir branches. Ahh Christmas, that magical time when it is suddenly completely normal to invite a massive tree inside, to live in your front room. But wait! What madness is this? It’s still November! Despite tradition dictating that in polite British society we wait until December at the very least, a YouGov survey has revealed that 11% of Brits had already put their trees and decorations up by November 25 this year. So why have so many people pulled the trigger early? Maybe it’s the Tinsel Index – a sister theory to the Hemline Index, which suggests that women’s skirt lengths directly correlate with economic conditions, so minis during booms, maxis during recessions. The Tinsel Index means that the more miserable things are generally in the world, the earlier people try to cheer themselves up with festive accoutrements. You don’t have to think long to work out what we need to be distracted from this year – take your pick from the freezing weather, cost-of-living crisis, wars including the threat of World War Three, floods ... could go on and on, but let’s stop there, because there aren’t enough baubles on the planet. And so, people have embraced the season to be jolly a little expeditiously this year – if it makes them feel a little better, what’s the harm, right? But of course it’s not that simple. Alongside those minding their own business and putting what they want in their own houses are others, absolutely outraged by what complete strangers are doing, and by what date. It’s almost as if that anger is perhaps misplaced, and not really about Christmas trees, but let’s not pull at that thread, eh? And so they post on social media about it being a travesty, mutter disapprovingly whenever they see premature forestation, shake their heads and tut at news of people – gasp! – already eating mince pies. The difference any of this makes to them, to their lives, to when they put their own trees up? Nil, zero, nada, nothing. And yet they seem to be taking it as a personal insult. In theory, I’m actually on their side. Every year, around this time, our heartwarming family tradition is a huge argument between my husband and I about when to put up our tree He’s relentlessly merry by nature, and would like our home to be fully Christmafied from July to February. I would ideally put the tree up a week before the 25th, and evict it on Boxing Day, when it is no longer relevant and I’m embarrassed for it. It is one of those arguments that’s been had so many times we both know exactly what the other will say next, and that we’ll end up getting a tree on December 10 so neither of us is happy. This year though, anything goes, and let’s try not to be judgmental about it. Everyone should just do whatever they feel will bring a little light into their lives – let the season of goodwill stretch out as far as the eye can see, in all directions. Who knows, maybe I’ll even concede defeat personally too. Husband, December 9 it is!If I could only keep 5 UK stocks from my portfolio I'd save these
The moment a van reverses into Cardiff shop causing thousands of pounds of damage
The birth of 'President's Choice' and other fascinating tales for the business reader on your holiday gift listAndrej Stojakovic made 11 free throws to help craft a team-high 20 points, freshman Jeremiah Wilkinson had his second consecutive big game off the bench and Cal ran its winning streak to three with an 83-77 nonconference victory over Sacramento State on Sunday afternoon in Berkeley, Calif. Wilkinson finished with 16 points and Rytis Petraitis 13 for the Golden Bears (5-1), whose only loss this season was at Vanderbilt. Jacob Holt went for a season-high 25 points for the Hornets (1-4), who dropped their fourth straight after a season-opening win over Cal State Maritime. Seeking a fourth straight home win, Cal led by as many as 12 points in the first half and 40-33 at halftime before Sacramento State rallied. The Hornets used a 14-5 burst out of the gate following the intermission to grab a 47-45 lead. Julian Vaughns had a 3-pointer and three-point play in the run. But Cal dominated pretty much the rest of the game, taking the lead for good on a Petraitis 3-pointer with 14:50 remaining. Stojakovic, a transfer from rival Stanford, went 11-for-15 at the foul line en route to his third 20-point game of the young season. Cal outscored Sacramento State 26-17 on free throws to more than account for the margin of victory. Coming off a 23-point explosion in his first extended action of the season, Wilkinson hit five of his 10 shots Sunday. The Golden Bears outshot the Hornets 47.2 percent to 43.1 percent. Joshua Ola-Joseph contributed 10 points and six rebounds, Mady Sissoko also had 10 points and Petraitis found time for a team-high five assists. Holt complemented his 25 points with a game-high eight rebounds. He made four 3-pointers, as did Vaughns en route to 18 points, helping Sacramento State outscore Cal 30-21 from beyond the arc. EJ Neal added 16 points for the Hornets, while Emil Skytta tied for game-high assist honors with five to go with seven points. --Field Level Media

Wireless Mesh Network Market Expanding Connectivity with Adaptive and Scalable NetworkingGabriel mimics Gyokeres in cheeky goal celebration in Arsenal win over Sporting in Champions LeagueThere should not be any surprise to the fact that Bayern Munich is currently doing everything in their power to agree on a new contract extension with Jamal Musiala. He is a generational talent that has already established himself as one of the great, global rising stars in the game let alone as one of the best players in Europe all around. He is absolutely worth his weight in gold for both Bayern and the German national team and it should come with great elation that Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg is now reporting that the plan for Musiala and the club is to sign an extension that would keep him at the club through 2029. With the proposed agreement on the table, Musiala could earn up to €25 million gross per year, which would make him the club’s highest earner alongside Harry Kane. For a talent like Musiala, though, former Bayern and Germany midfielder Lothar Matthäus feels the club should spare absolutely no expense to get Musiala to agree to stay long term even though Bayern is notorious for not wanting to stray too far away from their wage structure. “Just as there was no limit for Messi, for me there’s no limit for Musiala either. You need him not only for sporting reasons, but also as the face of FC Bayern, where some active players will soon be leaving. You need Musiala as an advertising face for international marketing. That’s a value that you cannot pay for with money,” Matthäus stressed on Sky Sport (via @ iMiaSanMia ). Musiala staying long term would certainly help break the mold and sentiment that Bundesliga talents winds up getting shipped off to the Premier League or one of Barcelona or Real Madrid after they really establish themselves. In the same way that Kane’s move from Tottenham to Bayern affected the polarity between the Premier League and the Bundesliga and English and German football as a whole. Photo by Stuart Franklin/Getty Images For Matthäus, Musiala is already in the category of some of club’s greats like himself, Robert Lewandowski, Manuel Neuer, Franz Beckenbauer, and others that have historically been in and amongst the club’s top earners. Financial figures across the decades would, of course, look different, but in relative terms, players in the highest earning brackets are predominantly comprised of club legends, which Musiala has already established himself as one ever since joining from the Chelsea youth ranks. “In my opinion, Musiala has a free choice. He can practically write down the numbers himself, just like Franz Beckenbauer once said about me. If Manuel Neuer and Lewandowski earn or have earned 25 million a year, I think Musiala belongs in that category too. Five years 25 million/year plus a signing fee, that would be 150 million. That would be a good price and, in my opinion, a reasonable sum,” Matthäus rationalized. All signs right now are pointing towards Musiala and Bayern reaching an agreement in the near future that would see him stay until 2029, but in the event that something were to fall through, Matthäus feels that 150 million euros should be the benchmark and price tag to try to lineup an ample replacement. “If Bayern were to look for a replacement for Musiala, he would first have to want to join - and Bayern would have to pay 150 million in transfer fees for a new player of this category,” he urged.

Rudy Giuliani tells judge he can’t pay his bills in courtroom outburst
Lil Wayne, GloRilla, Camila Cabello to perform at College Football National ChampionshipU.S. stock futures climbed Monday as Wall Street kicked off a shortened Thanksgiving trading week. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures rose 302 points, or 0.7%. Futures tied to the S&P 500 climbed 0.5%, and Nasdaq-100 futures advanced around 0.6%. Wall Street is coming off a winning week as the postelection rally picked up again. The 30-stock Dow advanced around 2% last week and posted a record close on Friday. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each rose about 1.7%. The small-cap Russell 2000 jumped roughly 4.5% during the week. President-elect Donald Trump signaled his intention to nominate Key Square Group founder Scott Bessent as Treasury secretary. Investors viewed the pick favorably and see the hedge fund manager as someone who will be supportive of the equity market and who may help mitigate some of Trump's most extreme protectionist policies. "I would recommend that tariffs be layered in gradually, "said Bessent to CNBC in an interview earlier this month before he was picked. "If you take that price adjustment coupled with all the other disinflationary things President Trump is talking about, we're going to be at or below the 2% inflation target again." Treasury yields pulled back slightly, and the U.S. dollar index decreased following the Bessent pick late Friday. "Supporters will argue that Mr. Bessent's career as a macro investor will provide him with an ability to understand the knock-on effects of President Trump's trade, tariff, tax, and deregulatory agenda," said Ed Mills, Raymond James Washington policy analyst, in a note to clients. "If Mr. Bessent can delay or limit an across-the-board tariff policy, while extending tax cuts, pushing deregulation (that increases energy production), all support U.S.-based industries — all supporting U.S. GDP growth — that would be cheered on by the market." U.S. markets are closed Thursday due to the Thanksgiving holiday and close early on Friday so trading volume is likely to be light this week. Despite this week's shortened trading week, the interest rate outlook is back in focus with the release of October's personal consumption expenditure (PCE) price index, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation measure, on Wednesday. Minutes from the Fed's most recent policy meeting are also due out ahead of Thanksgiving. On the corporate earnings front, several retailers and tech names are slated to release quarterly results during the week. Bath and Body Works is scheduled to announce its earnings Monday morning. On Tuesday, retailers Macy's, Nordstrom and Best Buy are reporting results, as well as tech companies CrowdStrike and Dell Technologies. MicroStrategy shares popped 7% in the premarket after a big price target increase from Bernstein. The firm cited the company's huge Bitcoin holdings as a catalyst for the updated forecast. "We believe, Bitcoin is in a structural bull market with conducive regulation and U.S government support, institutional adoption and favorable macro (low rates, inflation risk and record fiscal debt)," the firm said . "MSTR's debt is long term, unsecured convertible, implying negligible risk to balance sheet liquidity from Bitcoin volatility." — Sean Conlon European markets opened higher Monday, with the pan-European Stoxx 600 index adding around 0.5% shortly after trading began. Sectors broadly traded higher as household goods and autos stocks led gains, both adding around 1.3%.

NEW YORK , Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- S&P Global Market Intelligence has released a report today highlighting the convergence in public and private credit markets. The newly published Public and Private Markets Outlook: Converging on Credit is part of S&P Global Market Intelligence's Big Picture 2025 Outlook Report Series. In this new report, S&P Global Market Intelligence's capital markets analysts highlight how public and private credit markets have become increasingly intertwined in 2024, and why we expect this trend to continue in 2025. Public debt markets have grown, but not at the expense of the $1.5 trillion private markets, which continue their rapid expansion. " It may be no coincidence that the fall in Credit Default Swap (CDS) credit events aligns with the growth in provision of private credit. Many companies now have recourse to lines of credit from private sources to an extent not seen in previous cycles. This trend is likely to continue in 2025 but may raise questions about the transparency and measurement of credit risk in private credit funds, where the exposure is ultimately shifted," said Gavan Nolan , Executive Director at S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Some elite US universities favor wealthy students in admissions decisions, lawsuit allegesArsenal defender Gabriel kept Viktor Gyokeres quiet — then had the audacity to steal the in-demand Sporting Lisbon striker's trademark goal celebration. After heading in Arsenal's third first-half goal in the Champions League on Tuesday, Gabriel linked the fingers of his hands and placed them over his eyes, before laughing with his teammates. It was most likely a dig at Gyokeres, the Sweden striker who has quickly become one of European soccer's hottest properties . Because that is how Gyokeres celebrates his goals. “It's fun that he likes my celebration,” Gyokeres told Viaplay after the match. “He can steal it if he cannot come up with his own.” Gyokeres has scored 24 goals for Sporting in all competitions and was coming off netting four for Sweden in a Nations League match against Azerbaijan. Earlier in the first half, Gabriel had enjoyed tackling and dispossessing Gyokeres near the Arsenal area — waving both his arms in a gesture to the crowd. Gabriel's goal made it 3-0 to Arsenal at halftime and the English team went on to win 5-1, with Gyokeres failing to score. He did hit the post with a shot late in the game, however — after Gabriel had gone off with an injury. “Today he wasn't that dangerous,” Arsenal striker Kai Havertz said of Gyokeres, “but I think it's because we defended very well.” AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
