Manmohan Singh: The Conductor of India's Economic SymphonyAirports and highways are expected to be jam-packed during Thanksgiving week, a holiday period likely to end with another record day for air travel in the United States. AAA predicts that nearly 80 million Americans will venture at least 50 miles from home between Tuesday and next Monday, most of them by car. However, travelers could be impacted by ongoing weather challenges and those flying to their destinations could be grounded by delays brought on by airline staffing shortages and an airport service workers strike . Here's the latest: U.S. airlines are preparing for a Thanksgiving holiday rush, and so are the U.S. Postal Service, United Parcel Service and FedEx. Shipping companies will deliver about 2.2 billion packages to homes and businesses across the U.S. from Thanksgiving to Dec. 31, said Satish Jindel, a shipping and logistics expert and president of ShipMatrix. That’s down from 2.3 billion packages last year. Because the shopping period is a week shorter than in 2023, consumers are shopping further ahead of Black Friday and more purchases are taking place in physical stores, he said. The number of holiday package shipments grew 27% in 2020 and by more than 3% the following year during the pandemic. The numbers have been falling since then, with a projected decline of about 6% this holiday season. Looking to de-stress while waiting for your flight? Many airports have a fleet of therapy dogs — designated fidos and puppers that are eager to receive pets and snuggles from weary travelers. Rules and schedules vary from airport to airport, but the group AirportTherapyDogs uses online crowdsourcing to share the locations of therapy dogs across its various social media accounts. Today, Gracie, a toy Australian shepherd, and Budge, an English bulldog, wandered the concourses at Denver International Airport, and an American Staffordshire Terrier named Hugo greeted travelers at Punta Gorda Airport in Florida. Some airports even feature other therapy pals. San Francisco International Airport’s fleet of animals includes a Flemish Giant rabbit and a hypoallergenic pig. “We cannot live on the wages that we are being paid,” ABM cabin cleaner Priscilla Hoyle said at a rally earlier Monday. “I can honestly say it’s hard every single day with my children, working a full-time job but having to look my kids in the eyes and sit there and say, ‘I don’t know if we’re going to have a home today.’” Timothy Lowe II, a wheelchair attendant, said he has to figure out where to spend the night because he doesn’t make enough for a deposit on a home. “We just want to be able to have everything that’s a necessity paid for by the job that hired us to do a great job so they can make billions,” he said. ABM said it is “committed to addressing concerns swiftly” and that there are avenues for employees to communicate issues, including a national hotline and a “general open door policy for managers at our worksite.” Employees of ABM and Prospect Airport Services cast ballots Friday to authorize the work stoppage at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, a hub for American Airlines. They described living paycheck to paycheck while performing jobs that keep planes running on schedule. Most of them earn $12.50 to $19 an hour, union officials said. Rev. Glencie Rhedrick of Charlotte Clergy Coalition for Justice said those workers should make $22 to $25 an hour. The strike is expected to last 24 hours. Several hundred workers participated in the work stoppage. Forty-four fights have been canceled today and nearly 1,900 were delayed by midday on the East Coast, according to FlightAware . According to the organization’s cheekily named MiseryMap , San Francisco International Airport is having the most hiccups right now, with 53 delays and three cancellations between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. EST. While that might sound like a lot of delays, they might not be so bad compared to last Friday when the airport suffered 671 delays and 69 cancellations. In an apparent effort to reduce the headaches caused by airport line cutting, American Airlines has rolled out boarding technology that alerts gate agents with an audible sound if a passenger tries to scan a ticket ahead of their assigned group. This new software won’t accept a boarding pass before the group it’s assigned to is called, so customers who get to the gate prematurely will be asked to go back and wait their turn. As of Wednesday, the airline announced, the technology is now being used in more than 100 U.S. airports that American flies out of. The official expansion arrives after successful tests in three of these locations — Albuquerque International Sunport, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Tucson International Airport. ▶ Read more about American Airlines’ new boarding technology Travel can be stressful in the best of times. Now add in the high-level anxiety that seems to be baked into every holiday season and it’s clear travelers could use some help calming frazzled nerves. Here are a few ways to make your holiday journey a little less stressful: 1. Make a checklist of what you need to do and what you need to bring 2. Carry your comfort with you — think noise-canceling headphones, cozy clothes, snacks and extra medication 3. Stay hydrated 4. Keep up to date on delays, gate changes and cancellations with your airline’s app ▶ Read more tips about staying grounded during holiday travel Thanksgiving Day takes place late this year, with the fourth Thursday of November falling on Nov. 28. That shortens the traditional shopping season and changes the rhythm of holiday travel. With more time before the holiday , people tend to spread out their outbound travel over more days, but everyone returns at the same time, said Andrew Watterson, the chief operating officer of Southwest Airlines . “A late Thanksgiving leads to a big crush at the end,” Watterson said. “The Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday after Thanksgiving are usually very busy with Thanksgiving this late.” Airlines did a relatively good job of handling holiday crowds last year, when the weather was mild in most of the country. Fewer than 400 U.S. flights were canceled during Thanksgiving week in 2023 — about one out of every 450 flights. So far in 2024, airlines have canceled about 1.3% of all flights. Drivers should know that Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons will be the worst times to travel by car, but it should be smooth sailing on freeways come Thanksgiving Day, according to transportation analytics company INRIX. On the return home, the best travel times for motorists are before 1 p.m. on Sunday, and before 8 a.m. or after 7 p.m. on Monday, the company said. In metropolitan areas like Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle and Washington, “traffic is expected to be more than double what it typically is on a normal day,” INRIX transportation analyst Bob Pishue said. Federal Aviation Administration Administrator Mike Whitaker said last week that he expects his agency to use special measures at some facilities to deal with an ongoing shortage of air traffic controllers. In the past, those facilities have included airports in New York City and Florida. “If we are short on staff, we will slow traffic as needed to keep the system safe,” Whitaker said. The FAA has long struggled with a shortage of controllers that airline officials expect will last for years, despite the agency’s lofty hiring goals. 5. Auto club and insurance company AAA predicts that nearly 80 million Americans will venture at least 50 miles from home between Tuesday and next Monday. Most of them will travel by car. 6. Drivers should get a slight break on gas prices . The nationwide average price for gasoline was $3.06 a gallon on Sunday, down from $3.27 at this time last year. 7. The Transportation Security Administration expects to screen 18.3 million people at U.S. airports during the same seven-day stretch. That would be 6% more than during the corresponding days last year but fit a pattern set throughout 2024. 8. The TSA predicts that 3 million people will pass through airport security checkpoints on Sunday; more than that could break the record of 3.01 million set on the Sunday after the July Fourth holiday. Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to be the next busiest air travel days of Thanksgiving week. ▶ Read more about Thanksgiving travel across the U.S. Workers who clean airplanes, remove trash and help with wheelchairs at Charlotte’s airport, one of the nation’s busiest, went on strike Monday to demand higher wages. The Service Employees International Union announced the strike in a statement early Monday, saying the workers would demand “an end to poverty wages and respect on the job during the holiday travel season.” The strike was expected to last 24 hours, said union spokesperson Sean Keady. Employees of ABM and Prospect Airport Services cast ballots Friday to authorize the work stoppage at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, a hub for American Airlines. The two companies contract with American, one of the world’s biggest carriers, to provide services such as cleaning airplane interiors, removing trash and escorting passengers in wheelchairs. ▶ Read more about the Charlotte airport workers’ strike Parts of the Midwest and East Coast can expect to see heavy rain into Thanksgiving, and there’s potential for snow in Northeastern states. A storm last week brought rain to New York and New Jersey, where wildfires have raged in recent weeks, and heavy snow to northeastern Pennsylvania. The precipitation was expected to help ease drought conditions after an exceptionally dry fall. Heavy snow fell in northeastern Pennsylvania, including the Pocono Mountains. Higher elevations reported up to 17 inches (43 centimeters), with lesser accumulations in valley cities including Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. Around 35,000 customers in 10 counties were still without power, down from 80,000 a day ago. In the Catskills region of New York, nearly 10,000 people remained without power Sunday morning, two days after a storm dumped heavy snow on parts of the region. Precipitation in West Virginia helped put a dent in the state’s worst drought in at least two decades and boosted ski resorts as they prepare to open in the weeks ahead. ▶ Read more about Thanksgiving week weather forecasts Two people died in the Pacific Northwest after a rapidly intensifying “ bomb cyclone ” hit the West Coast last Tuesday, bringing fierce winds that toppled trees and power lines and damaged homes and cars. Hundreds of thousands lost electricity in Washington state before powerful gusts and record rains moved into Northern California. Forecasters said the risk of flooding and mudslides remained as the region will get more rain starting Sunday. But the latest storm won’t be as intense as last week’s atmospheric river , a long plume of moisture that forms over an ocean and flows over land. “However, there’s still threats, smaller threats, and not as significant in terms of magnitude, that are still going to exist across the West Coast for the next two or three days,” weather service forecaster Rich Otto said. As the rain moves east throughout the week, Otto said, there’s a potential for heavy snowfall at higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada, as well as portions of Utah and Colorado. California’s Mammoth Mountain, which received 2 feet (0.6 meters) of fresh snow in the recent storm, could get another 4 feet (1.2 meters) before the newest system clears out Wednesday, the resort said. Another round of wintry weather could complicate travel leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday, according to forecasts across the U.S., while California and Washington state continue to recover from storm damage and power outages. In California, where two people were found dead in floodwaters on Saturday, authorities braced for more rain while grappling with flooding and small landslides from a previous storm . Here’s a look at some of the regional forecasts: 9. Sierra Nevada: The National Weather Service office issued a winter storm warning through Tuesday, with heavy snow expected at higher elevations and wind gusts potentially reaching 55 mph (88 kph). Total snowfall of roughly 4 feet (1.2 meters) was forecast, with the heaviest accumulations expected Monday and Tuesday. 10. Midwest and Great Lakes: The Midwest and Great Lakes regions will see rain and snow Monday and the East Coast will be the most impacted on Thanksgiving and Black Friday, forecasters said. 11. East Coast: A low pressure system is forecast to bring rain to the Southeast early Thursday before heading to the Northeast. Areas from Boston to New York could see rain and breezy conditions, with snowfall possible in parts of northern New Hampshire, northern Maine and the Adirondacks. If the system tracks further inland, there could be less snow and more rain in the mountains, forecasters said. ▶ Read more about Thanksgiving week weather forecastsAs the video concludes, Chen Menglu delivers a heartfelt message to her viewers and fellow gamers, encouraging them to join her in anticipation and excitement for the upcoming Old Wa Cup.

By Aldgra Fredly Contributing Writer The Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio temporarily closed its airspace on Friday after drone activity was detected in the area, a base spokesperson said on Sunday. Bob Purtiman, public affairs director for 88th Air Base Wing, told media outlets that the airspace was blocked after small unmanned aerial systems were spotted flying over the air base late Friday and early Saturday. Purtiman said installation leadership determined that none of the incursions impacted base residents, facilities, or assets. He told defense industry news outlet The War Zone that the drones ranged in size and configuration, without elaborating further. It was not immediately clear where the drones came from. The air base issued a Notice to Air Missions to announce the airspace closure after the drones were detected. The airspace has since been reopened. Purtiman said that the 88th Air Base Wing, the host unit for Wright Patterson Air Force Base, was working with local authorities in Ohio to ensure the safety of base personnel, facilities and assets. “The Air Force is taking all appropriate measures to safeguard our installations and residents,” he said. Located northeast of Dayton, Ohio, the Wright Patterson Air Force Base is home to Air Force Material Command, which conducts research, testing and evaluation, and provides acquisition management services and logistics support “necessary to keep Air Force weapon systems ready for war,” according to its website. The base also hosts the Air Force research laboratory and the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, which serves as the primary source of the U.S. Defense Department for “foreign air and space threats.” The incident occurred amid reports of unidentified drone-like objects flying over parts of New Jersey, New York and California. Alejandro Mayorkas, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, said the federal government will take action to address concerns but signaled that officials don’t have the authority to shoot them down. “I want to assure the American public that we in the federal government have deployed additional resources, personnel, technology to assist the New Jersey State Police in addressing the drone sightings,” he told ABC News’ “This Week” anchor George Stephanopoulos on Sunday. Mayorkas said the sightings are “in fact” of drones, but some are “manned aircraft that are commonly mistaken for drones,” echoing previous statements made by the FBI and the White House. He did not provide further details. He stated that the U.S. government is limited in its authority to take down a drone, noting that more than 8,000 drones are flown across the country each day.

[Word Count: 449]In the fast-paced world of football transfers, the saga of Kai Havertz's move from Bayer Leverkusen to Chelsea was a thrilling rollercoaster ride that kept fans on the edge of their seats. While Liverpool's near-miss may have left some disappointed, the drama and excitement of the transfer window only served to highlight the intensity and competitiveness of the modern game.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Haiti’s health minister has been removed from his post following , government officials said Thursday. According to two government officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the subject, Health Minister Duckenson Lorthe will be replaced by Justice Minister Patrick Pelissier until a new health minister is found. Two journalists and a police officer were killed Tuesday as who were there to cover the facility's reopening. It was one of the worst attacks on Haitian media in recent memory. Seven other journalists were wounded. Jean Feguens Regala, a photographer , said journalists had been invited to the hospital by the health ministry but there was little security at the site. “The fact that the minister of health invited us, you feel that preparations have been made already,” Regala told The Associated Press. “When we made contact with a police unit, the police told us they were not aware of the event." The health minister did not show up at the event, for reasons that have not been explained. Shortly after the attack, Johnson “Izo” André — considered Haiti’s most powerful gang leader and part of the Viv Ansanm group of gangs that has taken control of much of Port-au-Prince — posted a video on social media claiming responsibility for the attack. The video said the gang coalition had not authorized the hospital’s reopening. Gang violence has worsened in Haiti, with crippling the country’s capital and plunging Haiti into an unprecedented crisis. Gangs are believed to control 85% of Port-au-Prince. The Caribbean country has struggled to organize an election that will restore democratic rule, and is currently governed by a transitional council made up of representatives of political parties, business groups and civil society organizations. Evens Sanon, The Associated Press49ers QB Brock Purdy remains severely limited by injury to his throwing shoulder
Meanwhile, Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain are closely behind, with each team showcasing their own strengths and talents. Manchester City's relentless attacking style and tactical flexibility have made them a formidable force in English football, while Real Madrid's rich history and tradition of success continue to carry them forward in both domestic and European competitions. Paris Saint-Germain's star-studded lineup, including Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, ensures that they remain a strong contender in every tournament they participate in.PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 16, 2024-- In a letter to staff at the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, Harvey Fineberg, M.D., Ph.D., today announced his intention to step down as president of the foundation in late 2025 or early 2026, depending on when a successor is selected and prepared to take up the office. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241216559162/en/ Harvey Fineberg, M.D., Ph.D., president of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation (Photo: Business Wire) He “loves the work we do together,” he wrote, but after serving ten years as president, he explained “this is the right moment to recruit a new president who can lead the foundation for the next decade or longer.” “Harvey has been an outstanding president,” observed Kenneth Moore, chair of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Board of Trustees. “His unwavering commitment to excellence, coupled with a visionary mindset, enables him to synthesize complex ideas into a seamless tapestry of insight, transforming challenges into opportunities and inspiring those around him to elevate their own contributions. He will leave the foundation in a strong position for ever greater achievement in the years ahead.” “I have been fortunate to work with many talented, dedicated, and principled people at the Moore Foundation and elsewhere,” Fineberg noted. “I will be ever grateful to Gordon Moore for inviting me to take up this position, to the entire Moore family for their continuing spirit of generosity, and to all trustees, past and present, who so ably served and serve the foundation.” Next year, 2025, marks the 25 th anniversary of grantmaking by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. The board plans to initiate the search for Fineberg’s successor in the coming year. Grantmaking impact Under Fineberg’s leadership, the Moore Foundation’s Environmental Conservation Program extended its reach to market-based incentives alongside expanding place-based conservation programs in such critical regions as the Andes-Amazon, the Great Bear Sea in British Columbia, and the Arctic Ocean. The foundation supported many advances in sustainable fisheries, healthy ocean ecosystems, and marine conservation. The foundation enlarged its support for the conservation funding model called Project Finance for Permanence that brings together governments, communities, non-government organizations, and donors to provide comprehensive and enduring solutions, as in the Herencia Colombia (Heritage Colombia) initiative announced in 2022. The foundation accelerated application of natural capital approaches into development decisions and finance; served as a catalyst for global cooperation on nature-based solutions, and launched a major, new initiative on wildfire resilience. During Fineberg’s tenure, the Science Program inaugurated an experimental physics investigator program to provide core support for leading investigators in the field and established the Moore Inventor Fellows to enable brilliant, prospective inventors to pursue their dreams. The foundation extended explorations in quantum physics and systems biology, exploring such interdisciplinary topics as aquatic symbiosis and the evolutionary origins of motility in micro-organisms; invested in astronomical exploration, observatories, instrumentation, and astrophysics; supported development of novel, biological imaging devices and sophisticated instruments for precise, physical measurement; helped establish big-data, discovery capacity at leading universities; fostered and reinforced open science; adopted a new initiative in green chemistry; strengthened and expanded programs to engage youth in science and to support citizen science; and promoted science in policy through state-based fellowship programs to place scientists in state legislatures and executive offices. In preserving the special character of the Bay Area over the past decade, the Moore Foundation has made critical investments to protect undeveloped lands, natural ecosystems, and vital wildlife corridors. And the foundation is a generous supporter of Bay Area science and technology museums that provide exceptional educational opportunities for the public and spark excitement about science and technology in children of all ages. In unique cross-cutting investments, the foundation funded renovation and expansion of key environmental research stations in the South Pacific and in South America; and supported exceptional, science-based conservation opportunities in the Galápagos Islands and eastern Pacific Ocean. As a physician and public health leader, Fineberg helped ensure the legacy of the foundation’s historic contributions to nursing and the quality of health care, including through leadership programs based at the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis and a highly consequential initiative on diagnostic excellence. “I am proud of the many achievements by our grantees and grateful for the partnerships with sister foundations and so many others who make that success possible,” Fineberg wrote in his letter. “I want especially to thank my foundation colleagues in the infrastructure, investment management, and program teams, and those in the president’s office, who make work at the Moore Foundation a daily joy and inspiration.” Leadership in science, health care and philanthropy During the COVID pandemic, Fineberg’s fortuitous background in public health lent clarity to the foundation’s policies, and he simultaneously served as chair of the National Academies standing committee on emerging infectious diseases and 21 st century health threats. In that role, Fineberg led in the production of more than 10 rapid expert consultations to assist government decision-making in the early months of the pandemic. During his tenure at the foundation, Fineberg chaired National Academies consensus committees on reproducibility and replicability in science and on a definition of long COVID. Fineberg chaired the board of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (2013-2018) and served as a member (2009-2022). He serves as trustee of the CMB Foundation (China Medical Board), an offshoot of the Rockefeller Foundation, and will take up the role of board chair in 2025. He serves on the board of the Israel Institute for Advanced Study and on the editorial board of the New England Journal of Medicine. Fineberg also serves on numerous advisory boards for domestic and international organizations, including the Peterson Center on Healthcare, the Veolia Environment Foresight Committee, the Aspen Health Strategy Group, the U.S. Comptroller General’s advisory board, the Thich Nhat Hanh Center for Mindfulness in Public Health at Harvard, the Vanke School of Public Health at Tsinghua University in Beijing, the scientific advisory board of the Singapore National Research Foundation, the Mavri Program to accelerate biomedical innovation and train physician-scientists in Israel, the Stanford Digital Health Center, and the Center on Diagnostic Excellence at UCSF (University of California San Francisco). He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and, in addition to the National Academy of Medicine, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society. As an extension of his leadership at the Moore Foundation, Fineberg chairs the board of the Science Philanthropy Alliance, now including more than three dozen philanthropies that support science and are dedicated to helping philanthropists new to science to make fully informed choices. The Alliance has also been instrumental in promoting the role of philanthropy in the U.S. research enterprise, symbolized by this year’s enlargement of the National Academies’ research roundtable to include philanthropy alongside government, universities, and industry. Before joining the Moore Foundation, Fineberg served as president of the Institute of Medicine, where he engineered its conversion to the National Academy of Medicine. He helped found and served as president of the Society for Medical Decision Making. Fineberg previously served as provost of Harvard University and dean of the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. He served on the board of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and had taken up the role as chair before resigning to become president of the Moore Foundation.

One of the key legal aspects that Detective Zhang Kehan focused on was the preservation of evidence. He understood the importance of collecting and documenting evidence in a meticulous manner to ensure its admissibility in court. From bloodstains to fingerprints, every piece of evidence was carefully handled and cataloged to build a solid case against the perpetrator.
Furthermore, the use of practical effects, detailed costumes, and stunning set designs in the live-action "Indiana Jones" films add a level of realism and immersion that is hard to replicate in a video game. The attention to detail in recreating the 1930s and 1940s settings, the intricate props, and the on-location filming all contribute to the cinematic experience that is synonymous with the franchise. While games can offer a level of interactivity and exploration, they often fall short in capturing the tangible world-building and atmosphere that the live-action films excel in.
