lucky game

lucky game Dion Brown, BC bid to extend Fairleigh Dickinson's road woesSo ends one of the wildest weeks in recent memory for the Nebraska football program. The one-week overlap of high school recruiting, transfer portal entries, coaching changes and bowl game decisions meant there were highs and lows for Nebraska fans to go through — but the program’s leader wasn’t bothered by the departures and changes that hit the Huskers. “If we have good players and we have good coaches, then people are gonna come try to get them,” Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule said on Wednesday. “If no one’s trying to take our players, it means we’re in trouble.” With news to break down in each of those areas, let’s drop into coverage: Nebraska’s defensive coaching staff will look much different in 2025 compared to 2024, but Rhule is hopeful that the defense itself won’t change much.

Knighton was one of Rhule’s best hires for his initial Nebraska coaching staff. The defensive line, presumed to be a question mark in 2023, instead became a strength of the team. Players like Ty Robinson and Nash Hutmacher reached new heights under Knighton’s coaching, while several young Huskers also made an impact up front. There’s plenty of returning talent in the defensive line room even after some roster turnover, but NU’s next defensive line coach will have big expectations to continue Knighton’s good work at the position. As for White, he implemented his 3-3-5 scheme to great success a year ago, but Nebraska lined up slightly differently this fall with a four-man rush utilized far more often than in 2023. He’ll be a good fit at Florida State, while Nebraska has turned to John Butler in the interim to lead its defense. There’s no doubting Butler’s pedigree as a former NFL defensive mind, and his influence showed up in the way the Nebraska defense operated this season. Whether it’s Butler or an external hire who leads the Nebraska defense next season, continuity on that side of the ball is the expectation. “The defense isn’t going to change, but the offense is going to be better,” Rhule said. That optimism is underscored by the return of Dana Holgorsen as Nebraska’s offensive coordinator. Having brought in his own wide receivers coach, Daikiel Shorts Jr., Holgorsen will begin transforming the Nebraska offense this spring after the team’s bowl game. Nebraska signed a 20-player recruiting class on Wednesday that is loaded with talent across the board. While recruits can still sign with teams in February, expect Nebraska to be finished along the recruiting trail — and that means it’s time to take stock of the players in its 2025 recruiting class. Here are five of those signees who should impact the long-term future of the Husker football team. First up is linebacker Dawson Merritt. The highest-ranked signee in NU’s 2025 class was an Alabama commit for a reason, and it’s because the pass-rushing potential he shows. Set to be an off-ball linebacker and hybrid edge rusher at Nebraska, Merritt is the type of player who can make an impact early in his collegiate career. If he reaches his long-term potential, Merritt should be an NFL prospect when he leaves Nebraska. Nebraska also landed a top playmaking prospect in wide receiver Cortez Mills. Another wide receiver recruit, Isaiah Mozee, will provide an impact — but Mills is the all-around prospect who could dominate targets in a year or two’s time. The fast, athletic pass-catcher knows how to run himself open against coverage and excels at winning in one-on-one situations. Quarterback Dylan Raiola will like playing with Mills. In the secondary, cornerback Bryson Webber should be a starter down the road. His status as a former wide receiver gives him the ball skills Nebraska is after the spot, and Webber’s long, athletic frame will help him against opposing wide receivers. He may not be a day-one starter at cornerback, but Webber will make the position his own in the years which follow. Another explosive playmaker on offense is running back Jamarion Parker. Having signed alongside Bishop Neumann’s Conor Booth, Parker could be the lightning to Booth’s thunder as a one-two running back punch in the years which follow. A big-play threat and tough runner, Parker is an all-around talent who Nebraska and Holgorsen will find a way to utilize. The final pick is linebacker Christian Jones. Hard-nosed, athletic inside linebackers are hard to come by, but Jones is one of the rare few who could have a future at the position. He’s a top athlete who could push for playing time early in his career. For those interested, here are the five players I identified from NU’s 2024 class one year ago: Dylan Raiola, Carter Nelson, Willis McGahee IV, Mario Buford and Grant Brix. While Jacory Barney Jr. is a notable miss from that list, all but Brix played in at least 10 games and had an impact as freshmen. Nebraska’s transfer portal entrants have begun trickling out, and there will be many more which follow as a result of the 105-player roster limit teams must abide with next season. Many of the toughest departures to stomach have come on defense, where a veteran-heavy group will look much different in terms of its personnel next season. Defensive lineman Jimari Butler, a two-year starter at the position, has decided to move on. So have linebackers Mikai Gbayor and Stefon Thompson — who might’ve been starters next season — and rising young defenders Princewill Umanmielen, James Williams and Kai Wallin. Williams, Wallin and Umanmielen were all impactful defenders for Nebraska this fall, but their status as pass-rushing specialists still left room for improvement as all-around defenders. Butler and Gbayor, however, would’ve been pegged as no-doubt veteran starters, so their choice to move on will impact NU’s defensive strength. No entry was more surprising than that of running back Emmett Johnson, a player who emerged as NU’s top rusher late in the 2024 season. The up-and-down nature of Johnson’s Nebraska career — he showed flashes down the stretch in 2023 and was hardly utilized this fall prior to Holgorsen taking over — may have impacted his decision to seek out a new opportunity. Nebraska’s transfer portal targets will become clearer in the coming days, but one player has already stated his interest in the Huskers. Fresno State linebacker Phoenix Jackson, a multi-year starter at the position, announced on social media that Auburn, Indiana, Nebraska and SMU are the four teams he’s considering transferring to. Prior to learning its bowl opponent, Nebraska had a light week of practice before things get intense later this month. The Huskers practiced on Tuesday and Thursday last week with its veterans sitting out as younger players got reps in front of their coaches instead. Rhule said he expects Nebraska to practice from Tuesday to Thursday this week, with another day on Saturday during which the Huskers could bring transfer portal visitors to campus. “Being in bowl practice right now is exactly what this team needs, exactly what we need moving forward,” Rhule said. “I saw guys practice (Tuesday) and look like I haven’t seen them look all year.” After his firing at Nebraska, former head coach Scott Frost didn’t need to rush into his next coaching job, instead waiting for a situation and school that made sense for him. While it didn’t work out in Lincoln, there’s no denying the success Frost had at UCF. The in-state talent around the school and Frost’s offense made for a great fit, even if he only had two seasons to show it. The Knights are no longer in the AAC, though, instead having moved to a new-look Big 12 which has the makings of a difficult conference. It’s a good fit for Frost, but there’ll still be an element of pressure for him to deliver results and show that he can rebuild the program once again.

Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday he had an “excellent conversation” with Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club after the president-elect’s threat to impose significant tariffs on two of America’s leading trade partners raised alarms in Ottawa and Mexico City. It was unclear, as Trudeau headed back to Canada from Florida, whether the conversation had alleviated Trump’s concerns. A person familiar with the details of the leaders’ hastily arranged meeting Friday night said it was a “positive wide-ranging dinner that lasted three hours.” The official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said topics included trade, border security, fentanyl, defense, Ukraine, NATO, China, the Mideast and pipelines, as well as the the Group of Seven meeting in Canada next year. The Republican president-elect has threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico if the countries don’t stop what he called the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders. He said he would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders when he takes office in January. As he was leaving his West Palm Beach hotel, Trudeau stopped briefly to answer a reporter’s question about the dinner meeting, saying it was “an excellent conversation.” Trump’s transition team did not respond to questions about what the leaders had discussed. Trump, during his first term as president, once called Trudeau “weak” and “dishonest,” but it was the prime minister who was the first G7 leader to visit Trump since the Nov. 5 election. “Tariffs are a crucial issue for Canada and a bold move was in order. Perhaps it was a risk, but a risk worth taking,” Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal. Among those at the dinner were Howard Lutnick, Trump’s pick for commerce secretary; North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, in line to lead the Interior Department; and Mike Waltz, Trump’s choice to be his national security adviser. Accompanying Trudeau were Canada’s public safety minister, Dominic LeBlanc, whose responsibilities include border security, and Katie Telford, Trudeau’s chief of staff. Trudeau had said earlier Friday that he would resolve the tariffs issue by talking to Trump. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said a day earlier after speaking with Trump that she is confident a tariff war with the United States will be averted. Trudeau said Trump got elected because he promised to bring down the cost of groceries but now he’s talking about adding 25% to the cost of all kinds of products including potatoes from Prince Edward Island in Atlantic Canada. “It is important to understand that Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out. There’s no question about it,” Trudeau said before his leaving for Florida. “Our responsibility is to point out that he would not just be harming Canadians, who work so well with the United States, but he would actually be raising prices for Americans citizens as well and hurting American industry and business,” he added. To Nelson Wiseman, professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, Trump “doesn’t need convincing that new tariffs on Canadian products would not be in U.S. interests. He knows that, but cannot say it because it would detract from what he has said publicly. His goal is to project the image that he gets action when he talks.” Those tariffs could essentially blow up the North American trade pact that Trump’s team negotiated during his first term. Trudeau noted they were able to successfully renegotiate the deal, which he calls a “win win” for both countries. Trump made the tariff threat Monday while citing an influx of migrants entering the country illegally, even though the numbers at the Canadian border pale in comparison to those at the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump also spoke about fentanyl from Mexico and Canada, even though seizures from the Canadian border are few in comparison to the Mexican border. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Canadian officials say lumping Canada in with Mexico is unfair but say they are ready to make new investments in border security. When Trump imposed higher tariffs during his first term in office, other countries responded with retaliatory tariffs of their own. Canada, for instance, announced billions of new duties in 2018 against the U.S. in a response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US $2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. ___ Gillies reported from Toronto. Advertisement Advertisement

Harsh Winter A Double Blow For Contractual Professors In KashmirIn the end, the third-quarter catalysts—interest rate cuts and easing inflation—failed to lift the local bourse that struggled to climb and sustain an ascent the entire year. By the closing bell on Friday, the last trading day of 2024, the benchmark Philippine Stock Exchange Index (PSEi) lost 0.16 percent or 10.23 points to 6,528.79. Meanwhile, the broader All Shares Index added 0.45 percent or 16.73 points to close at 3,748.51. READ: 2024 not a very good year for IPOs in PH A total of 1.18 billion shares worth P4.19 billion changed hands, stock exchange data showed. Foreigners opted to shed their stocks, with foreign outflows totaling P112.76 million. Although the PSEi’s closing value for the year is 1.22 percent higher year-on-year, it is still lower by 0.4 percent versus the beginning of 2024. Juan Paolo Colet, managing director at investment bank China Bank Capital Corp., said it was a “bittersweet culmination to a volatile year marked by steep rallies and corrections as hope turned into caution.” “Just like 2023, this year again turned out to be fairly good for investors who were able to trade in and out of the major market waves,” Colet said. To recall, the local stock barometer charged into the bull territory in September following the first of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ three quarter-point rate cuts of the year. Entering the bull market meant the PSEi climbed by at least 20 percent from its recent low. In this case, the index jumped from around 6,100 in June to as high as 7,500 in October. However, the easing cycle proved not to be enough to give the bourse a lift. By November and December, the PSEi suffered several bloodbaths amid growing fears around US President-elect Donald Trump’s upcoming policies, including an import tariff hike that could lead to higher interest rates. Investors snapped up shares of mining and oil companies the most while also letting go of bank stocks. International Container Terminal Services Inc. was the top-traded stock as it slipped by 1.03 percent to P386 per share, followed by SM Investments Corp., up 1.93 percent to P899; BDO Unibank Inc., down 1.17 percent to P144; Ayala Land Inc., down 1.13 percent to P26.20; and Bank of the Philippine Islands, down 1.93 percent to P122 each. Other actively traded stocks were Globe Telecom Inc., up 4 percent to P2,184; SM Prime Holdings Inc., down 0.59 percent to P25.15; Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co., down 4.06 percent to P72; Jollibee Foods Corp., up 2.36 percent to P269; and Semirara Mining and Power Corp., up 1.45 percent to P34.90 per share.

FPCCI stresses need for setting up software technology parks in Karachi KARACHI: President of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) Atif Ikram Sheikh has called for the establishment of a software technology park (STP) in Karachi to create an enabling environment for the export of IT and IT-enabled Services (ITeS). He said that this has been the city’s longstanding demand, which continues to face infrastructural challenges that hinder its potential in IT exports and its ability to attract large-scale investments into the industry. CEO of the Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB) Abu Bakar recently visited the FPCCI Head Office in Karachi to discuss facilitating business, industrial and trade communities in investing in IT companies to boost the country’s exports. Sheikh reiterated the FPCCI’s stance that Pakistan must diversify and expand its export portfolio. He highlighted that the IT sector is uniquely positioned to deliver quick results due to its efficient turnaround time and its potential for exponential growth in exports. Senior Vice President of the FPCCI Saquib Fayyaz Magoon shared that the FPCCI and the Sindh Higher Education Commission (SHEC) have joined forces to organise a groundbreaking technology startup exhibition. This initiative aims to generate investments for viable startups and promote them on national and international platforms. He added that the event will have full support from the Pakistan Software Houses Association (P@SHA) and the PSEB. Magoon also highlighted the need for the FPCCI and the IT industry to consolidate their budget proposals and policy advocacy efforts. He urged for transformational policy reforms targeting the IT sector within a macroeconomic framework, particularly through the federal budget for 2025-26. A software technology park in Karachi is seen as a crucial step to unlock the city’s potential in the IT sector and bolster the country’s overall economic growth.Picture this: You are the groom, minutes away from your Haldi ceremony, and disaster strikes – you’ve forgotten your yellow kurta. Panic sets in, but then a solution emerges: Quick Commerce. This isn’t a hypothetical scenario. Just a few weeks ago, a groom in Bengaluru faced this situation. Thanks to lightning-fast delivery in under 10 minutes, his day was saved. The retail landscape in India is being reshaped by Quick Commerce (Q-Com). Changing consumer expectations, technological advancements, and a growing digitally empowered population are making quick commerce increasingly convenient. Products ranging from groceries to household essentials, electronics to clothing, are now delivered within 10-30 minutes, with even faster deliveries expected in the future. Revolutionising retail or Threatening Kirana tradition? Quick commerce is impacting traditional Kirana stores. The All India Consumer Products Distributors Federation reports that around 200,000 Kirana stores have shut down due to competition from quick commerce platforms, with metro cities seeing the most closures. Kirana stores are struggling to maintain their customer base and profitability amid deep discounts and aggressive pricing by quick commerce companies. A report by Chryseum showed sales growth of over 280% in two years, with Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) rising from US$500 million in FY22 to US$3.3 billion in FY24, representing a 73% annual growth rate. Projections suggest the market could reach US$9.95 billion by 2029. The rise of smartphones, internet penetration, and personalised in-app experiences blend well with the demand for instant gratification, fueling this growth. However, this wave didn’t happen overnight. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of online shopping, and quick commerce became the go-to solution for safe, rapid deliveries. Average order values have risen from Rs. 250 to Rs. 500, indicating that consumers are willing to pay more for convenience. Also, the entry of major players like Amazon into the quick commerce space depicts the potential of the industry and its appeal to investors. Major players of the Indian Q-Com Pie The quick commerce market in India is dynamic and highly competitive, with major players vying for market share. According to India Briefings reports, in Q2 of 2024-25, Zomato Blinkit leads the sector with a 46% share, followed by Zepto at 29% and Swiggy Instamart at 25%. Blinkit’s GMV in Q2 2024-25 exceeded Rs. 6,000 crores, with a 5% quarterly growth, while Swiggy Instamart saw a 425% increase in a single quarter. These companies are employing aggressive marketing, expanding product categories, optimising existing delivery infrastructure, and streamlining dark stores to capture more market share. This competition extends beyond the aforementioned players. Even traditional e-commerce giants like Flipkart and Amazon are entering the quick commerce space. Flipkart has launched its ‘Minutes’ service, testing 15-minute deliveries in Bengaluru, while Amazon is also experimenting with a 15-minute delivery model. Specialised e-tailers like Nykaa and Myntra, which have operated solely in the e-commerce segment, are now venturing into quick commerce services, increasing competition. Myntra, for example, plans to scale its micro-hub inventory from 10,000 to nearly 100,000 styles sourced from offline stores. Reshaping real estate with dark stores Dark stores, which serve online orders only, are essential to quick commerce. These stores, hidden from the public, are strategically located to enable rapid deliveries. Swiggy Instamart, Blinkit, and Zepto operate around 1,200 dark stores in key Indian cities. Rental prices for these stores range from Rs. 40 to Rs. 250 per square foot, depending on location. Quick commerce companies must optimise logistics to ensure fast, efficient delivery. Challenges and opportunities in the quick commerce landscape Despite its rapid growth, quick commerce faces several challenges. For instance, the cost of operations is high due to delivery expenses and dark store maintenance. However, businesses are overcoming these challenges by adjusting price dynamics, increasing order values, and diversifying product offerings, such as expanding into electronics and cosmetics. Competition is fierce, with companies needing to differentiate themselves through innovative products and superior service. However, the future looks bright for quick commerce in India. The market is projected to grow sixfold between FY24 and FY27, reaching $27 billion. Currently, quick commerce represents just 3% of the grocery market and only 1% of the overall retail market, indicating vast growth potential. There’s also an emerging opportunity to cater to India’s growing affluent consumer segment, as demonstrated by premium quick commerce platforms like FirstClub, which targets the top 10% of the population. Impact on consumer behaviour and the retail industry The rapid growth of quick commerce is driven by the increasing demand from a burgeoning urban population and shifting consumer preferences. Consumers are increasingly opting for faster and more convenient delivery options. This shift is influencing buying behaviours across different e-commerce segments. To compete, many Kirana stores have partnered with new-age companies or adopted their tactics. Quick commerce also benefits the gig economy, providing flexible employment opportunities through an extensive network of delivery partners. However, success in quick commerce relies not only on speed and convenience but also on data and analytics. Companies leverage big data on customer demographics, purchase patterns, and delivery times to optimize delivery networks, personalise recommendations, predict demand fluctuations, and fine-tune pricing. This data-driven approach helps companies stay ahead in the competitive landscape and continually improve customer experiences. The growth of quick commerce in India has been phenomenal, and despite the challenges, the sector is poised to become an integral part of the country’s retail ecosystem. As key players innovate and harness data-driven insights, quick commerce is set to reshape consumer shopping habits and brand engagement in the future.

Coimbatore: In a significant step towards modernising public amenities and promoting hygiene , the city police, in association with Arthida Creations and Foundation and Enthutech, have unveiled an innovative smart washroom on the first floor of the city police commissionerate. This initiative aims at enhancing sanitation standards and streamlining restroom maintenance through advanced technology. The smart restroom features a unique 10-button interface to address common issues faced by users. Each button corresponds to specific concerns such as no water supply, damaged taps, foul odour, lack of dustbins and other maintenance needs. When a button is pressed, the system immediately notifies the maintenance team, ensuring swift problem resolution and continuous hygiene upkeep. The system could monitor air quality and send alerts via a mobile app if odour level exceeds acceptable limits. Equipped with water level sensors and a threshold-based automated pump system, the washroom ensures efficient water usage and energy conservation. It offers real-time updates on the washroom's operational status, enabling seamless maintenance. "We could save water, electricity and manpower by installing smart washrooms, while ensuring a hygienic and pleasant experience for users," said Neena Arthida, chairperson, Arthida Creations and Foundation. City police commissioner V Balakrishnan said it was high time to use advanced technology to conserve water and maintain a washroom with hygiene. "This is a pilot project. If successful, we will extend the project to other restrooms. Meanwhile, we have sent a proposal to appoint 15 sanitary workers on a temporary basis to the city police commissionerate to ensure a clean campus and hygienic washrooms."

Co-host Colin Jost joked about the killing, saying: "The manhunt continues for the assassin who gunned down the CEO of United Healthcare on Wednesday, and it really says something about America that a guy was murdered in cold blood and the two main reactions were, 'Yeah, well health care stinks!' And also, 'Girl, that shooter hot.'" Social media users condemned the segment as insensitive. New sighting of suspect in UHC Brian Thompson's murder Health insurance companies ramp up security after UnitedHealthcare CEO murder Thompson, 50, was married with two sons. "Disgusting.

Michael Che added to the controversial commentary, referencing the suspect's image: " New York City police say that they were able to get the smiling picture of the suspect after the man apparently was caught on camera at a local hostel, flirting with a female employee, whose name has been reported as, 'Lucky S. Bechalive.'" Viewers expressed further outrage. "Long time viewer of SNL.
