The partner agencies funded by the United Way of Carlisle and Cumberland County provide critical services that make a significant and lasting impact on the lives of thousands of people in our communities. At the Bosler Memorial Library, United Way funding makes it possible to provide preschool age children and their parents with educationally and developmentally appropriate experiences that are fun and free. Research shows that quality early learning experiences lead to lifelong success. Through the library, thousands of children have started on that path to success. Children like Miles, whose mother says, “We’ve been coming to the library programs since my son was 8 months old, and he’s now 18 months. We’ve gone to Baby Time, Toddler Tales, the Play group and the Holiday Storytimes. We’re currently attending the STEAM Storytime. We continue to come for the developmental skillset Miles is learning. He is learning listening, speaking and social interaction. It’s learning beyond just loving books, which is awesome for our child to get outside of the house because I am a stay-at-home mom. We love that the teachers are modeling skills that parents can then reinforce at home with their babies. We see Miles generalize skills that he’s learning in class with songs and books at home. We love that the library is such an entertaining, educational and age-appropriate place for our child. We will continue to come for years to come." The generous support provided to the United Way of Carlisle and Cumberland County by so many individuals and companies makes it possible to transform the lives of people every day. The support that the United Way provides to the library and the other partner agencies is a lifeline for today, and an investment in the future.

Lucknow: Prayagraj is gearing up to host a digitally enhanced Maha Kumbh 2025 , transforming the ancient religious gathering into a smart, secure and sustainable event. The massive spiritual congregation, spread across 4,000 hectares and recognized by UNESCO as an intangible heritage, will be monitored by an extensive network of over 1,800 CCTV cameras, including PTZ (pan tilt and zoom), fixed, and ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) cameras. The digital surveillance system will be crucial in managing the millions of pilgrims expected to attend the event. "We are combining cutting-edge technology with time-honoured tradition," says Amrit Abhijat, principal secretary, urban development department. "It is going to be more than an event; Maha Kumbh would emerge as a prototype for future massive religious gatherings, ensuring both spiritual fulfilment and visitor comfort." The transportation infrastructure has received a significant upgrade with 720 cameras monitoring 120 temporary parking areas, equipped with AI-based analytics for vehicle counting. Additionally, 126 advanced analytics CCTV cameras will oversee operations at nine railway stations and nine bus stands, enabling real-time traffic management. To ensure convenience and safety of the pilgrims, free wi-fi zones would be provided throughout mela area. At regular intervals energy-efficient LED lights with smart controls would be placed on the ground for enhanced nighttime visibility.

That comes from our hypergrowth expert Luke Lango. Of the variables Luke identified, we’re focused on “pro-growth policies.” That’s because they have the best chance of mitigating the biggest threat to your portfolio value in 2025 – reinflation. Looking at the data, it’s easy to agree with her. The last handful of months of core PCE inflation (the Fed’s favorite inflation gauge) have been flat or slightly higher on a month-to-month basis: May: 0.1% June: 0.2% July: 0.2% August: 0.2% September: 0.3%. (The October reading arrives next week.) The Fed isn’t going to raise rates to deal with this. We’ve begun a rate-cutting cycle, and a U-turn now – even the hint of a U-turn – would be like tossing a grenade into the economy. If we want to help hurting Main Street America... and ease lofty stock valuations via real earnings growth... and offset inflation ... then the answer is simple: Grow like crazy. Specifically, outgrow inflation. Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Larry Summers had a great one-liner when asked about any advice he’d give President-elect Trump: We need to be able to build, baby, build in the United States. Here’s more from MarketWatch : [Summers] argued there were too many barriers to constructing data centers, energy production facilities and electricity transmission systems to help power the AI revolution and new green technologies. “These are potentially complex and risky technologies, and the government needs to, less by law than by moral force, establish close connections where real experts within government who are closely monitoring and following developments” in the sector, he said. From Thomson Reuters : President-Elect Trump has the potential to impact a wide range of policy provisions, from the economy to a raft of regulatory rules and directives... The regulatory landscape under Trump is also expected to see significant shifts. Deregulation would be a key theme, affecting sectors from energy to finance... As we discussed in the Digest at the start of the week, in a rosy scenario, Trump tax cuts and deregulation increases demand for goods and services... business investment increases... hiring increases... wage growth increases... so, overall productivity skyrockets. No, prices wouldn’t come down (they’re entrenched at this point). They might even climb again. But in this ideal hypothetical, growth-based wages and economic opportunities will rise to offset higher prices and inflation, and then some. So, the net, felt effect is positive. But for this to happen, it’s all about growth. That’s how we spike the punchbowl and keep this party going in 2025. For a sense of this, let’s turn to Eric Fry’s lead analyst in Investment Report , Thomas Yeung: [The result of the run-up in the market] has been a surge in average valuations – a fact Eric and I have been highlighting over the past several weeks. The Shiller PE Ratio, which averages earnings over a 10-year business cycle, now sits at 37.0, its highest level since the heady days of 2021. When the Shiller PE Ratio was last at this level in December 2021, stocks tumbled 19% over the following year. The Shiller PE has climbed since Thomas wrote this. As I write Friday, it’s up to 37.95. The chart below, dating to 1860, will give you some context for how extreme this level is. Will Trump’s pro-growth policies create an earnings explosion that gently lets the air out of this overinflated balloon? We’ll find out beginning next year. If not, today’s lofty valuation increases the likelihood of volatility – stocks roar on good news but drop sharply on not-so-good news. Now, while such an environment is tough on long-term investors, it’s a dream for traders. Jonathan is the lead analyst at our corporate partner Masters in Trading . After spending 25 years learning his craft on the Chicago trading floors and inside private investment firms, Jonathan now offers up live trading ideas, market commentary, and trading education each morning. This week, we’ve introduced Digest readers to how Jonathan is trading short-term options. This includes zero-day options, which expire on the very same day they’re issued. As we detailed yesterday , zero-day options can be incredibly lucrative, potentially rewarding traders with quadruple-digit returns – sometimes in just hours. But for this to happen, it requires big moves in the underlying stock. Translation, lots of volatility. Jonathan believes today’s market is ripe for such moves: I’ve been hammering one point home all week... All this short-term volatility isn’t going anywhere. And with volatility remaining elevated, we have many ways to capitalize on whatever the markets throw at us. One opportunity on Jonathan’s radar comes from QQQ, which is an ETF that tracks the Nasdaq 100 Index: Take a look at the daily chart below. The $500 mark is standing out as a critical level right now. After QQQ hit a high just above $515, it pulled back, but it’s consistently found support right around that $500 area. This isn’t just a coincidence — it’s where buyers and sellers are battling it out, making it the key level to watch. Why does this matter? Because levels like this often act as a launchpad for the next big move. If QQQ holds above $500, we could see another push higher. But if it breaks below, we could be looking at some serious downside action. Either way, this is where opportunity lives, and this is why we trade short-term options like 3DTE, 2DTE, and even 0DTE — to move fast and capitalize on these shifts. If you’re less familiar, “DTE” stands for “days to expiration” which circles us back to the short-term options trades I highlighted a moment ago. That’s when he’ll be broadcasting in real time, demonstrating how zero-day and short-term options work. This will be a live, one-time-only event. Now, if options make you nervous, I get it. They have a questionable reputation. But I’d encourage you to join Jonthan so you can see for yourself why that reputation is unfair – and why these short-term options can be so powerful, both for protecting and making money. On the “making money” side, let’s return to Jonathan and the QQQ set-up he just identified: We’ve seen this play out before. Earlier this year, during a similar setup, I highlighted a key level in our live class. Members positioned themselves using short-term puts ahead of a market pullback, and when the QQQ dropped 2.4%, our model portfolio saw gains as high as 179.9% overnight. This is what it’s all about — being prepared, staying disciplined, and taking advantage of these moments. Tuesday’s live event is all about helping you understand how these options work... the market conditions that increase the chances of such triple/quadruple-digit overnight returns... and the right way to avoid taking unnecessary risk. On that note, here’s Jonathan: A solid fundamental understanding of the market, the strategic use of options, and disciplined risk management forms the cornerstone of successful trading. My career on the front lines of the exchanges has shown that these principles, when applied systematically, can offer major advantages, even in volatile markets. To reserve your seat for Jonathan’s One-Day Winners Live Summit this Tuesday at 11 a.m. Eastern, sign-up here. If we get loads of it, our inflation and valuation problems shrink. If we don’t get it, we’re left with a very expensive stock market. And that could mean major fireworks. But that just points us back to Jonathan and how he trades unpredictable markets. We hope you’ll join him on Tuesday to learn how to put volatility in your corner . Have a good evening, Jeff Remsburg

In the middle of Good Wood Terrace, a plastic film covers Kanye West’s signature and a pair of doodles the American rapper drew on a pillar in the middle of the restaurant. A handful of other scribbles sit underneath, but they aren’t protected — perhaps more than the food, the graffiti is the main draw. It’s also a reminder of how West — legally now known as Ye — has become this year’s most buzzed-about Tokyo resident. He has long been fascinated by Japanese culture and is a constant visitor to the capital, but at some point a few months ago rumors emerged that he was now living here. You’d imagine he’d want to get out of the spotlight back home following several years of high-profile scandals , topped off by Ye delivering antisemitic remarks on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ internet talk show. Tokyoites haven’t been focusing on anything Ye has been saying since arriving, rather they’ve been watching where he goes. His presence in the capital resembles that of a mythical animal — a “Ye-ti” if you will — captured via random sightings.AP News Summary at 3:42 p.m. ESTNone
