slotvip rtp GameStop's GME.N shares jumped on Thursday after a cryptic post from meme stock influencer Keith Gill, who shot to notoriety after his online personas and bullish bets on the video game retailer sparked a trading frenzy among mom-and-pop investors. Gill posted a picture of a Time magazine cover with a computer screen on social media platform X. Following his post, GameStop's shares spiked, being last up 13% in late afternoon trading. Known as "Roaring Kitty" on YouTube and "DeepF***ingValue" on Reddit's RDDT.N popular WallStreetBets, Gill was a key figure in the so-called "Reddit rally", in which GameStop stock surged 1,600% at one point in Jan. 2021, crushing hedge funds that had bet against the videogame retailer. On Thursday, about 300,000 GameStop options contracts had changed hands by 2:14 p.m. (1914 GMT), at about 1.5 times the usual pace, according to data from options analytics firm Trade Alert.

Invest wisely: Best online brokers The stock's 30-day implied volatility — how much traders expect the shares to move around over the short term — jumped to a 3-week high of 132%, up from 93% in the previous session, data showed. Contracts betting on the shares finishing above $30 by Friday were the most actively traded options, with some 32,000 of them traded by late afternoon. Gill resurfaced on social media earlier in 2024, after a three-year hiatus leading to a deluge of excited messages from his followers, many of whom have likened the social media phenomenon to a David who took on Wall Street's Goliaths and won. The meme stock rally in 2021 was set off by Gill's posts on WallStreetBets subreddit about the gains he had made on his investments in the highly shorted firm. The rally spread to other highly shorted stocks including AMC AMC.N as Reddit users banded together to squeeze bearish hedge funds, costing them billions in losses and drawing scrutiny from U.S. regulators. The entire episode inspired Craig Gillespie's 2023 movie "Dumb Money".

Alexander Hospital on Dec 3 launched a 128-page book titled Humanity: Behind Every Face. Partial proceeds from the book sales will go towards helping AH's needy patients. SINGAPORE – A stranger at his father’s wake taught Dr Khoo See Meng, chairman of the medical board at Alexandra Hospital (AH), a valuable life lesson. This stranger was the first to arrive and the last to leave on each night during the five-day wake in Muar, Malaysia, in 2012. Gripped by their loss, the family did not inquire about the man’s relationship with their late father, Mr Khoo Chee Pheng. A month later, Dr Khoo’s brother discovered that the man ran a newspaper stall. Their father – who was in his 70s when he died – had bought copies of newspapers, such as Sin Chew Daily and China Press, from the man daily to help sustain his struggling business. Dr Khoo, 55, said: “My family had a subscription for Sin Chew Daily, so the house would end up with two copies of the same paper every day, which got my mum really upset, and my brother puzzled.” This is one of the personal stories told by 50 individuals from Alexander Hospital in a 128-page book titled Humanity: Behind Every Face, which was launched on Dec 3. Partial proceeds from the book sales will go towards helping AH’s needy patients. The book was the brainchild of AH Deputy Chief Executive Officer Margaret Lee, who wanted it to be a testament to why they care, day after day, despite their personal trials and struggles. “The title ‘Humanity’ was chosen thoughtfully to encapsulate both the compassion and excellence we strive for in healthcare and the deeper, universal truth that connects us all,” said Ms Lee. In the foreword, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung wrote that it is a timely reminder to acknowledge and recognise healthcare workers. “In healthcare, the focus is often on clinical outcomes, and it is also easy to overlook the human element that is at the heart of this noble profession,” he noted. After the idea of the book was conceived in April 2023, communications manager Yvonne Lee and intern Chloe Tan spent many hours over six months interviewing the individuals, including healthcare staff, contract cleaners and others. Ms Lee, 38, said: “When some of them shared about their life-changing experiences, we got emotional and cried together.” Ms Tan, 20, a communications undergraduate at Nanyang Technological University, said: “They have spoken about parenthood, health scares, losing loved ones...and much more. I hope there is something in here – even just a line or two – for everyone to resonate with.” Among those featured in the book was corporate planning manager Ashley Nguyen, 39, who battled thyroid cancer twice, in 2015 and 2021. Now in remission, Ms Nguyen said: “My work involves meeting some foreign patients, many of whom have cancer. I often share with them about my own experience and assure them that cancer is not ‘the end’”. Senior project specialist Serene Poh, 65, had a golf ball-sized brain tumour in 2000 and underwent a 12-hour surgery that carried risks of paralysis, coma or even death. At that time, her husband was posted overseas for work, and their daughter was only four years old. As she was wheeled out from the recovery bay, she felt a burning pain from her wound each time the bed crossed a little bump on the floor. “I finally understood the perspective of a patient after I became one myself,” she said. “Now that I’m given a second chance in life, I am more patient-centric.” Ms Aishah Elshukrin, a senior social work coordinator, also found inspiration in her own struggles to give back in meaningful ways. The 27-year-old started working as a part-time banquet staff at age 16 to provide for her family after her mother was diagnosed with cancer. It was during this time when she saw how the medical social workers assisted her family. Ms Aishah is currently studying for a degree in social work at the Singapore University of Social Sciences to achieve her goal of becoming a medical social worker. “When I counsel a patient or their loved ones at the hospital, I know exactly how they feel,” she said. The book also features Mr Kesavan, an associate executive of ALPS Healthcare, which is AH’s procurement service provider. He lost his 19-year-old girlfriend in a road accident when he was 22 years old. He went into a state of shock, followed by a two-year isolation during which he stayed home all day. He was eventually coaxed out of despair by his family and friends. Now that the 33-year-old knows there is no guaranteed tomorrow, he believes there is no downside to being humble and nice. “I have become stronger and more loving, and I always look out for my colleagues now,” said Mr Kesavan, who goes by one name. The 18-month project was done entirely in-house except for the printing and distribution. One of the challenges for senior assistant communications manager Sheereen Yeow was getting her colleagues to pose naturally for the camera. She overcame this by getting them to retell their stories while their photographs were being taken around the hospital. The 18-month project was done entirely in-house except for the printing and distribution. ST PHOTO: LIM YAOHUI Ms Yeow, 34, who shot all the photos, said: “These are the colleagues you pass by every day, and you don’t really know what they are going through. I have learnt to be kinder to the people I see daily.” Added Dr Khoo: “This silent story that my family uncovered about my father...reminds me of the importance of taking an interest in the lives of seemingly random strangers. (It) stirred some of the deepest questions about the meaning of a man’s everyday engagement with the world.” Humanity: Behind Every Face is on sale at $29.90 at major bookstores, including Book Bar and Kinokuniya, and online stores such as Book Bar ( https://bookbar.sg/store/p/humanity ) and Amazon.

More info Brits with a keen eye for rare currency could be sitting on a small fortune, as coin collectors are urged to search their spare change for three special Christmas coins potentially worth over £8,000. A TikTok sensation known as the Coin Collecting Wizard, who has amassed more than 200,000 followers, highlighted the lucrative finds in a recent video. "Christmas coins that will make you rich," he declared. He showcased a 50p piece from Gibraltar with a unique minting error: it bears the date 1990 but mistakenly features a design from 1989. Despite Gibraltar coins not being legal tender in the UK, they often circulate alongside British currency due to their similar design. This particular mule error coin could fetch up to £4,000. The expert explained: "This is a 50p from Gibraltar and is known as a mule error. The obverse of this coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, dated 1990. " He further noted, "This is paired with the incorrect 1989 Gibraltar Christmas design featuring a singing choir boy and a puppy wearing a Santa hat and a bow." He added, "Errors like this where a mismatched obverse and reverse die are used are extremely uncommon today due to advancements in modern minting technology. This coin can sell for up to £4,000 so make sure to check if you have this one." Coin collectors are being urged to keep an eye out for a 2003 50 pence piece featuring a scene from The Snowman. The coin expert excitedly shared: "This sought-after collectible coin is a new addition of a rare Christmas themed design first issued in 2003 inspired by Raymond Briggs' the Snowman first published in 1978." He further explained its appeal, highlighting that the coin showcases an image of the eponymous snowman dancing with the young lad named James, reports Lancs Live . He disclosed: "The 2003 Snowman and James coin was the first in a popular series, produced in partnership with Popjoy Mint to mark the 25th anniversary of the original storybook. And if you have this 50 pence, then you are looking at around £300." He then delved into the history of older coins known as wreath crowns, named for their "distinctive reverse design". He concluded: "These highly collectible silver coins were produced in limited numbers, between 1927 and 1936 as holiday gifts to important clients of the Bank of England leading to their other common name, 'Christmas crowns'. If you have this crown from 1934 then it is worth £4,000."

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Eddie Lampkin Jr. and Donnie Freeman each posted a double-double and Jaquan Carlos finished an assist shy of joining them as Syracuse closed out its nonconference schedule with a 75-63 win over Bucknell on Saturday. The Orange evened their record at 6-6 with their sixth win in seven home games, taking a 12-point lead at intermission and maintaining it through the second half, handing the Bison (4-9) their seventh straight loss. Syracuse, which lost its Atlantic Coast Conference opener to Notre Dame, finished nonconference play 6-5. Lampkin and Freeman combined to score 24 first-half points and helped the Orange dominate the boards in the first half, 18-11. Pip Ajayi dunked near the 14-minute mark to get Bucknell within five, 48-43, but Elvin Edmonds IV missed a 3-point attempt to make it a one-possession game a minute later and Lampkin scored to push the lead to seven. Kyle Cuffe Jr. scored back-to-back baskets and Carlos added a layup to push the Syracuse lead back to a dozen points, 56-44.

AP college basketball: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-basketball-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/college-basketballCLEVELAND — Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is no longer expected to play Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns. Tagovailoa was downgraded to doubtful Saturday as the Dolphins (7-8) traveled to Cleveland as he deals with his hip injury. Tagovailoa was already deemed questionable for Sunday’s 4:05 p.m. kickoff on Miami’s Friday injury report, but his hip injury was not largely considered concerning after he was also on the injury report for it last week and made it through the win over the San Francisco 49ers. He downplayed the significance of the ailing hip, which he first banged up in the Dec. 15 loss to the Texans in Houston, when he spoke to reporters Wednesday. “It’s good,” Tagovailoa said then. “It’s just like anyone else on the team and anyone else around the league. You get banged up little bit towards the ending of the year so just got to take care of that.” Tagovailoa also famously had his college career at Alabama cut short due to a hip injury. He recovered from it during his draft process in 2020, the Dolphins selected him with the No. 5 pick. Without Tagovailoa, the Dolphins likely start backup quarterback Tyler “Snoop” Huntley against the Browns. Third-stringer Skylar Thompson was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday’s game. The Dolphins, on Saturday, also placed cornerback Kendall Fuller on injured reserve. He was already ruled out for Sunday’s game with his knee injury and considered week to week with just two weeks remaining in the regular season. With the roster spot, Miami signed wide receiver Erik Ezukanma from the practice squad to the active roster, as Tyreek Hill (wrist) and Jaylen Waddle (knee) are questionable for Sunday. Along with Thompson, the Dolphins elevated cornerback Nik Needham from the practice squad for depth at cornerback with Fuller out and Storm Duck likely to play in nickel packages. Tagovailoa, this season, is vying for Drew Brees’ single-season completion percentage record. With Miami set to go with Huntley and the Browns in line to start Dorian Thompson-Robinson, the NFL is fortunate to have flexed out of airing Sunday’s Dolphins-Browns game out of prime time on the penultimate week of the regular season. Barrett to Bucs Unretired NFL edge rusher Shaquil Barrett is returning to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After Barrett, whom the Dolphins waived from the reserve/retired list Thursday, cleared waivers Friday, he agreed to sign with the Buccaneers, according to multiple reports. Barrett signed with the Dolphins as a free agent in March, retired in July before training camp and wished to come out of retirement in late November. Miami, caught off guard by the request on a short week before playing the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving night, did not activate him before its deadline, nor did the team immediately release him so he could join another team. The Dolphins reversed course on that decision this past week, with coach Mike McDaniel citing the organization did not believe waiving him would create a competitive disadvantage at this point. The Bucs (8-7) are tied with the Atlanta Falcons atop the NFC South, with the Falcons holding the tiebreaker. Tampa Bay can still win the division with two weeks remaining. Barrett never played a down for the Dolphins. He had 45 sacks, made two Pro Bowls and won a Super Bowl in his previous five seasons with the Bucs. ©2024 South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

The Italian foreign ministry said it was in contact with Iran to clarify Sala's legal situation and the conditions of her detention. "Italy is working tirelessly to free her, pursuing every option," Defence Minister Guido Crosetto - a key figure in Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government - wrote on the social media platform X, calling the arrest "unacceptable". Chora Media said Sala had left Rome for Iran on December 12 with a valid journalist visa and had conducted several interviews and produced three episodes of her Stories podcast. She had been due to fly back to Rome on December 20. It added that Sala was being held in solitary confinement in Tehran's Evin prison and no reason had been given for her arrest. There was no immediate confirmation of the arrest by Iranian officials. It was not clear whether it might be linked to tensions between Rome and Tehran after Iran last week summoned a senior Italian diplomat and the Swiss ambassador, who represents US interests in the country, over the arrest of two Iranian nationals. One of the men was arrested in Italy at Washington's request. Italy's ambassador to Iran visited Sala in prison on Friday and the journalist has also been in phone contact with her family, the Italian foreign ministry said. Italian sources with knowledge of the matter said she was "very tired" but "physically fine". Chora said news of Sala's arrest was not immediately made public as her family and Italian authorities had hoped that keeping it quiet could help secure her swift release. Elly Schlein, leader of the centre-left opposition Democratic Party, urged the government to act swiftly. "We immediately call on the government to take every useful initiative to shed light on this matter, to clarify the reasons for this detention and, above all, to bring Cecilia Sala back to Italy as soon as possible," she said.

Special Forces soldier and former Central Michigan University quarterback Tommy Lazzaro died at age 27 after reportedly being hit by a hunter’s stray bullet while he “was driving to the range to help a fellow soldier who was having car trouble.” TMZ announced his death on December 26. Task & Purpose noted that Lazzaro was a special forces soldier with 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne). He was at Elgin Air Force base on December 22 when shot. The bullet that killed him “was fired by a hunter who was shooting on the Eglin range, a popular hunting location.” Lazzaro’s Special Forces Commander Col. Patrick Nelson said, “We deeply mourn the loss of U.S. Army Sgt. Thomas Lazzaro...We will never forget his dedication, courage, and commitment to safeguarding our freedoms.” WILX pointed out that Elgin Air Force base is located in Walton County, Florida, and the sheriff of that county indicated the death appears to be the result of a “hunting accident.” A “celebration of life” for Lazzaro will be held at the Emerald Coast Funeral Home in Fort Walton Beach on December 28 at 11:00 a.m. AWR Hawkins is an award-winning Second Amendment columnist for Breitbart News and the writer/curator of Down Range with AWR Hawkins , a weekly newsletter focused on all things Second Amendment, also for Breitbart News.

Appointed following the sacking of Erik ten Hag in late October, the Portuguese tactician officially started work as United’s head coach on November 11, 2024 and has overseen four games across all competitions since. His debut game in the dugout ended in a 1-1 draw away at Ipswich Town which was followed up by back-to-back home wins over Bodo/Glimt - in the Europa League - and the 4-0 thrashing of Everton . More recently though, Amorim tasted defeat for the first time as Man United boss as his side were beaten 2-0 by Arsenal on Wednesday night . What was interesting about the game in North London, certainly before kick-off was the visitors’ starting line-up as Amorim continued his theme of heavy squad rotation as he looks to manage his players' workloads and hand minutes to those who have recently returned from injury. And after plenty of experimenting, the 39-year-old has revealed he is getting closer to knowing the ideal line-up for his 3-4-2-1 system. "More or less [I am close to knowing my best line-up], yes," he told reporters. "You have an idea, but then you have the problem of players returning without training and then you have to manage the load. So you also have the same problem. "But then you have to imagine and understand what kind of player you have. Bruno Fernandes, you feel it, against Arsenal, in the end, he was a little bit tired, but you know he is going to recover very well. “Manuel Ugarte, I've known for so long; I know that he needs sometimes a little bit more time. "So we are in that process, to know the players and trying to manage that, but we're getting closer to an idea, yes." Plenty of eyes will be on Amorim’s team selection for Saturday’s Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest especially with Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo available again after suspension .Drought, fires and deforestation battered Amazon rainforest in 2024
