Followed categories will be added to My News. Artist impressions of what Brisbane’s 2032 Olympic Games stadium could look like have been met with mixed views. Populous, a global architectural design firm, have been involved in 14 summer and winter Olympic Games since 1996 and also designed the Suncorp Stadium rebuild in the early 2000s. Now they’ve been tasked with their biggest job yet. Last week they revealed the first glimpse of the King Salman Stadium in Saudi Arabia ahead of the 2034 FIFA World Cup. It is set to become the largest-capacity stadium in the country, with proposed designs boasting a futuristic venue and surrounding sporting precinct which would be the envy of the world. The King Salman Stadium will seat 92,000. Currently scheduled to be completed in late 2029, the stadium boasts a seating capacity of more than 92,000, with amenities including a Royal Box, hospitality skyboxes and lounges, 2200 VIP seats as well as a walking path on the roof with panoramic views. Outside of the King Salman Stadium, Populous have plans to build multiple futuristic and impressive venues ahead of the 2034 FIFA World Cup including one located off the edge of a cliff. Built on top of a 200m cliff, the Prince Mohammed Bin Salman Stadium looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. Populous has proposed it for the 2034 FIFA World Cup. But it’s not just the World Cup Populous are planning for, with numerous sporting venues across the globe in the works, many of them breathtaking. Readers, however, remain undecided when it comes to Brisbane’s Games and what style to adopt. Some said the funding could be better spent on health and housing; others claimed the city should opt for cut-price options. See what you had to say below and join the conversation >>> WHAT YOU SAID It’s all a mess Jen Someone should start a museum comparing the artists impressions of what is to be built in Brisbane versus what we actually get. The new comedy club where we can laugh AND cry at what happens in our city. Sandi Or just move the games to NSW and refresh existing facilities if needed. We are all well aware that Albo loves dividing the nation, by why does every major city need to get involved. It’s not a competition. Kim How about as a state/nation we first concentrate on lowering the cost of living, homelessness, getting back cheap reliable electricity, actually making stuff etc.....but maybe this is way too hard and our governments just want to distract us with bright shiny stuff? Alfred And I deserve a Lamborghini but I can’t afford that either. Bill Could not happen in Qld or anywhere in Australia because of the unions. It couldn’t be completed anywhere near on time. Kai Tak Sports Park will hold 50,000. Let’s get it right Jen Having visited major stadiums they need to be sustained by a major city population. Vision is great but right sizing it is more important than building an unsustainable white elephant for one event in 7 years. We are a small city and not NYC, London or an oil rich nation. Justine Well I hope you find a private consortium to build it because Qlders also deserve a decent education and health care, two necessities that are crumbling by the day. Piaget Maybe it would be nice. But, far, far more important is to deal with our housing crisis before we think about being lavish and splurging on projects like that. Get poor people into housing first, then we can think about things like that.

And not too far away! Kai Tak Sports Park by Populous in Hong Kong. Need more details Elaine And who is going to pay for that? Labor stripped the money tree bare. Sandi Wonder how many of those new stadiums are proposed in countries that have banned nuclear power or don’t rely on the proceeds of oil or gas. Bob All well and good ... But, who is going to pay for something that will be used by so few ??? Don’t we as a society, have to consider “Bangs for the buck” ??? Bundy Boy Where is the money coming from.

Read moreLong known for its portfolio of artisan labels, Richemont has entered the industrial-design market. Its recent introduction, Via Arno , brings the same attention to detail and craftsmanship seen in its other offerings—including Van Cleef & Arpels, Alaïa, and Jaeger-LeCoultre—to the homewares sector. “We wanted to provide independent artisans and makers with a way to distribute their work,” says CEO Annia Spiliopoulos, a jewelry and entertainment-industry veteran who cofounded the label with Hanneli Rupert, the current vice executive chair at the Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity & Craftsmanship. The two met after Spiliopoulos joined the foundation’s executive committee to help shape its future vision. “Makers of everyday items often have trouble commercializing and branding their work, so we hope to be a good conduit for that.” In October at the 2024 edition of Homo Faber, Venice’s annual celebration of handmade work curated by the Michelangelo Foundation, Via Arno launched the namesake Via Arno Salon to present its artisan goods and services, ranging from homewares to sports equipment from more than 100 independent creators. Robb Report caught up with Spiliopoulos on the heels of the show, where the brand curated five spaces, including two studios, the Homo Faber Gift Shop, and La Cichetteria Bar and gelato stand, at the fair. “The Via Arno Salon offered artisan talks and gave them a place to tell their stories,” she says. “It was a way to showcase our concept, creative direction, and the experience we want to give through the brand. It’s all about connecting through human making.” Richemont is known for its dealings in luxury jewelry and watches. Why enter the design market now? It all comes down to craftsmanship, which is very much in the group’s DNA. I think there’s a sense of responsibility to look at the skills that may be needed to make these quality, long-lasting pieces and support those crafts... A lot of professionals [wonder] whether there will be a seminal shift or transformation in their industry because of technology. In that case, why not think about a new era of human making? Why don’t young people see carpentry or glass-making as a relevant or compelling profession? We hope that we can bring more value to craft. What services will Via Arno offer? We have a corporate channel—say, if you’re a hotel, hospitality, or retail group and want to work with our brands, we can facilitate that. We have options for private clients who are looking to invest in craft, whether that’s through something that’s already made or working directly with an artisan to create a custom commission. There will also be a trade channel for property developers, architects, or interior designers... We will also be offering services such as engraving, embroidery, and mending. And products? Via Arno is very much about offering a lifestyle, it’s not just home-focused. Obviously, home goods and decor are a big part of it... But we will also have sports equipment—handmade tennis rackets, skis, and golf clubs. Games such as chess and backgammon sets. Handmade duvets and some specialty clothing like outdoor climbing jackets or hiking boots. The focus is mostly human-made goods from independent designers who have worked for 10 years on their craft and are creating functional pieces, which range from a wood spoon in the tens of dollars to a handmade boat. I hope we keep finding new makers as the years go on and that more generations of people will want to become artisans. Why is it important to return to this idea of slow making, or studied craftsmanship? I think it’s an opportunity. There’s a different sense of story in handcrafted items. People are interested in provenance and how that can bring them closer to people or nature, where most artisans get their materials from... All the energy that goes into that through materials, which are usually local and good quality, is passed on through the items to someone who is using it every single day. That human making puts beauty and meaning into the end product... It might take three months to get an order, but it’s a more mindful way of consuming and purchasing and making.Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel says he was surprised by reports of Shaq Barrett's unretirement plan

STAMFORD, Conn., Dec. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Star Group, L.P. (the "Company" or "Star") (NYSE:SGU), a home energy distributor and services provider, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2024 fourth quarter and year ended September 30, 2024. Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 For the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter, Star reported a 10.0 percent decrease in total revenue to $240.3 million compared with $266.9 million in the prior-year period, reflecting slightly lower volumes sold and a decrease in selling prices for petroleum products, partially offset by higher service and installation revenue. The volume of home heating oil and propane sold during the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter decreased by 0.3 million gallons, or 1.5 percent, to 18.5 million gallons, as the additional volume provided from acquisitions was more than offset by the impact of net customer attrition and other factors. Star’s net loss increased by $15.4 million in the quarter, to $35.1 million, as a $28.4 million unfavorable change in the fair value of derivative instruments was only partially offset by a $9.1 million increase in income tax benefit, $1.7 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA loss, $1.1 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses, and $1.1 million lower net interest expense. The Company reported a fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA loss (a non-GAAP measure defined below) of $29.7 million, or $1.7 million less than in the prior year period, as higher home heating oil and propane per-gallon margins, an increase in service and installation profitability, and additional EBITDA from acquisitions, more than offset an increase in operating expenses and a decline in home heating oil and propane volume sold. “As we move into the heating season and begin a new fiscal year, it’s a great time to reflect on the past twelve months’ performance,” said Jeff Woosnam, Star Group’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Temperatures in fiscal 2024 were roughly flat year-over-year, and total revenue fell modestly due to slightly lower volumes and selling prices. However, full year Adjusted EBITDA rose by $14.7 million, reflecting an increase in home heating oil and propane per-gallon margins and higher service and installation profitability. We continue to focus on cost containment and the pursuit of attractive acquisitions. At the same time, we remain vigilant in working to address net customer attrition which, at 4.2% in fiscal 2024, was up slightly year-over-year. As we enter the heating season, we believe the Company is well prepared to respond to anything Mother Nature throws our way, while providing our customers with superior customer service.” Fiscal 2024 Compared to Fiscal 2023 For fiscal 2024, Star reported a 9.6 percent decrease in total revenue to $1.8 billion compared with $2.0 billion in the prior-year period, reflecting a decrease in total volume sold and a decline in selling prices in response to lower wholesale product costs. The volume of home heating oil and propane sold during fiscal 2024 declined by 5.8 million gallons, or 2.2 percent, to 253.4 million gallons as the additional volume provided from acquisitions and other factors was more than offset by net customer attrition. Temperatures in Star’s geographic areas of operation were less than 0.1 percent warmer than during the prior-year period but 15.1 percent warmer than normal, as reported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Star’s net income increased by $3.3 million for fiscal 2024, to $35.2 million, as a $14.7 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA, a $3.9 million decrease in net interest expense, a $0.9 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses and a $0.7 million decrease in income tax expense were largely offset by a $17.0 million unfavorable change in the fair value of derivative instruments. Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2024 increased by $14.7 million, to $111.6 million, as an increase in home heating oil and propane per-gallon margins, an increase in service and installation profitability and the additional Adjusted EBITDA from acquisitions more than offset a 10.9 million gallon decrease in home heating oil and propane volume in the base business, a $5.0 million reduction in the Company’s weather hedge benefit and an increase in base business total operating expenses. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP Financial Measures) EBITDA (Earnings from continuing operations before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings from continuing operations before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, (increase) decrease in the fair value of derivatives, other income (loss), net, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal charge, gain or loss on debt redemption, goodwill impairment, and other non-cash and non-operating charges) are non-GAAP financial measures that are used as supplemental financial measures by management and external users of the Company’s financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and research analysts, to assess Star’s position with regard to the following: compliance with certain financial covenants included in our debt agreements; financial performance without regard to financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or historical cost basis; operating performance and return on invested capital compared to those of other companies in the retail distribution of refined petroleum products, without regard to financing methods and capital structure; ability to generate cash sufficient to pay interest on our indebtedness and to make distributions to our partners; and the viability of acquisitions, capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return of alternative investment opportunities. The method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with that of other companies, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA both have limitations, as analytical tools and so should not be viewed in isolation but in conjunction with measurements that are computed in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are as follows: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash used for capital expenditures; although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized often will have to be replaced and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash requirements for such replacements; EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital; EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash necessary to make payments of interest or principal on indebtedness; and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash required to pay taxes. REMINDER: Members of Star's management team will host a webcast and conference call at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time tomorrow, December 5, 2024. The webcast will be accessible on the company’s website, at www.stargrouplp.com, and the telephone number for the conference call is 888-346-3470 (or 412-317-5169 for international callers). About Star Group, L.P.

NoneNEW YORK (AP) — Brian Thompson led one of the biggest health insurers in the U.S. but was unknown to millions of people his decisions affected. Then Wednesday's targeted fatal shooting of the UnitedHealthcare CEO on a midtown Manhattan sidewalk thrust the executive and his business into the national spotlight. Thompson, who was 50, had worked at the giant UnitedHealth Group Inc for 20 years and run the insurance arm since 2021 after running its Medicare and retirement business. As CEO, Thompson led a firm that provides health coverage to more than 49 million Americans — more than the population of Spain. United is the largest provider of Medicare Advantage plans, the privately run versions of the U.S. government’s Medicare program for people age 65 and older. The company also sells individual insurance and administers health-insurance coverage for thousands of employers and state-and federally funded Medicaid programs. The business run by Thompson brought in $281 billion in revenue last year, making it the largest subsidiary of the Minnetonka, Minnesota-based UnitedHealth Group. His $10.2 million annual pay package, including salary, bonus and stock options awards, made him one of the company's highest-paid executives. The University of Iowa graduate began his career as a certified public accountant at PwC and had little name recognition beyond the health care industry. Even to investors who own its stock, the parent company's face belonged to CEO Andrew Witty, a knighted British triathlete who has testified before Congress. When Thompson did occasionally draw attention, it was because of his role in shaping the way Americans get health care. At an investor meeting last year, he outlined his company's shift to “value-based care,” paying doctors and other caregivers to keep patients healthy rather than focusing on treating them once sick. “Health care should be easier for people,” Thompson said at the time. “We are cognizant of the challenges. But navigating a future through value-based care unlocks a situation where the ... family doesn’t have to make the decisions on their own.” Thompson also drew attention in 2021 when the insurer, like its competitors, was widely criticized for a plan to start denying payment for what it deemed non-critical visits to hospital emergency rooms. “Patients are not medical experts and should not be expected to self-diagnose during what they believe is a medical emergency,” the chief executive of the American Hospital Association wrote in an open letter addressed to Thompson. “Threatening patients with a financial penalty for making the wrong decision could have a chilling effect on seeking emergency care.” United Healthcare responded by delaying rollout of the change. Thompson, who lived in a Minneapolis suburb and was the married father of two sons in high school, was set to speak at an investor meeting in a midtown New York hotel. He was on his own and about to enter the building when he was shot in the back by a masked assailant who fled on foot before pedaling an e-bike into Central Park a few blocks away, the New York Police Department said. Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said investigators were looking at Thompson's social media accounts and interviewing employees and family members. “Didn’t seem like he had any issues at all,” Kenny said. "He did not have a security detail.” AP reporters Michael R. Sisak and Steve Karnowski contributed to this report. Murphy reported from Indianapolis. Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.

Zonta Club of the Pikes Peak Area has participated in the international organization’s annual initiative, “16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence” for years. This year, the 35 members of the local club have gone big, said President Lisa Rice. The organization that helps women and girls succeed with various projects and scholarships considered buying a billboard to raise awareness about the worldwide issue of violence against women, in homes and public places. “We started with a billboard and ended with advertising on 12 bus benches and bus shelters to reach more people in Colorado Springs and get the message out,” Rice said. The message this year, and since 1991 when the campaign originated at the Women’s Global Leadership Institute coordinated by the Center for Women’s Global Leadership, is that violence against women and girls needs to be prevented and stopped. Local chapters do their part in different ways, Rice said. In addition to the bus stop promotion, the Pikes Peak Area chapter will raise awareness through social media and resource materials, she said. The campaign begins Monday and concludes on Dec. 10, however the bus stop messaging will continue through December, Rice said. The club paid $3,500 for the advertising and still has $1,500 to go toward the project. Donations can be made at zontapikespeak.org . About one in three women worldwide have experienced physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime, according to the World Health Organization. And on a typical day, there are more than 20,000 phone calls placed to domestic violence hotlines nationwide, as per data from the National Network to End Domestic Violence. Domestic-violence hotlines see increases as the holidays approach, Rice said, likely because the time of year is stressful for many families. “We do feel like it’s having an impact locally because we hear from people, ‘Thank you for sharing resources and books so I can learn more’ and ‘Thank you for putting up signs,’” Rice said of the upcoming campaign. Zonta Club also provides scholarships totaling $8,000 to $12,000 annually in general areas of study as well as business, aerospace and technology.

This thing the Right says is happening isn't happening. 2. Okay, it's happening, but not that much. 3. Okay, it's happening and happening a lot and you're a bigot for noticing. 4. Why do you care so much about this issue? We have other problems to deal with! Over the last couple of weeks, Rep. Nancy Mace as been on a mission to make sure the women's bathrooms on Capitol Hill remain single-sex spaces . Why? Because Representative-Elect Tim ('Sarah') McBride is the first trans member of Congress and he's got a history of going into women's bathrooms where he's not allowed: McBride told everyone it would be an issue when he took a selfie in a women’s bathroom in NC. pic.twitter.com/0j8a0wv6cw The Left chose to make this an issue. And the Right responded, as they should. But here's Sen. Tammy Duckworth living out Stage 4 of the process: US @SenDuckworth tells CNN, "We have a lot more to worry about than where somebody goes to pee." pic.twitter.com/aEzeTf8gAk Right. So the Left should stop trying to force women to accept men in their safe spaces. Problem solved. This is what they do. They do something completely absurd then get upset when you notice. 'Republicans pounce!' and all that. The senator on the left, no pun intended, doesn’t understand that it’s much more than where one person Pees. It’s where hundreds of thousands of men dress up like women because of a perversion and go into our spaces and harm us. This must stop and now. Remember when the Left said 'no means no'? Good times. Then why is a dude in a dress fighting so hard to pee with women if there is “a lot more to worry about”. Get back to work you lazy slobs. Exactly. Then get to worrying on those and stop wasting your time on this. Mike Johnson didn't worry about it. He just took action. You're the ones now doing all the worrying. Bingo. It's all on them. I'm always amazed by this messaging, which has remained unchanged across issues for decades: Step 1: It is absolutely an issue of existential importance to break to pieces and reform this centuries-old norm Step 2: Any attempt to reverse Step 1 is a dumb waste of time https://t.co/4W9UPlthur Wash, rinse, repeat. The feeling of a tiny minority are given priority over the valid feelings & concerns of a large majority https://t.co/j4pMxBzFoq But democracy! Or something. Then it shouldn’t matter either way, right? And if it doesn’t matter either way, then it doesn’t matter if McBride uses the men’s. https://t.co/OGY014JQ2M But it's just like Nazism if you stop a man from peeing in front of women. It’s a classic tactic of the cynic. First, you make a huge deal of something that you want to change, and then when people say “no, I’d like things to stay the same, actually,” you say, “why do you care so much about this?” As we said.
