ITV I'm A Celebrity fans say 'funny that' as they notice GK Barry changeOleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury are ready to settle their differences once again, as Usyk defends the unified heavyweight titles in a rematch in Riyadh on December 21. The 12-round bout, plus undercard action, will air on DAZN PPV worldwide. Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999 when he beat Fury via split decision in May. The judges scored the contest 114-113, 113-114, and 115-112 with a ninth-round knockdown by the Ukrainian proving decisive. Most media members scored for Usyk by a variety or margins. Two men will be in the ring, a third if you count the referee. Then there are the three judges. However, another separate entity will perhaps lurk in the shadows. WATCH : Usyk vs. Fury 2 on DAZN Boxing judges are known for making things complicated. From wide or close scorecards when the action betrayed the numbers to awarding a fighter a win they didn't deserve, judging has caused plenty of headaches over the years. How does one attempt to fix this major issue? Turki Alalshikh may have found a way, thanks to AI. AI boxing judge, explained Alalshikh, the Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority and owner of Ring Magazine announced the first-ever AI-powered judge will monitor the fight between Usyk and Fury. Per Alalshikh, the results from the AI-powered judge, an unbiased source, will not actually affect the outcome of the fight but will be used to experiment with what could be available in the future.

The video Alalshikh shared explained the reasoning for an AI judge: "For years boxing has been defined by its glory but sometimes that glory is clouded by doubt and controversy. Isn’t it time for fairness to step into the ring? "It’s fairness powered by technology and human expertise." If a second fight goes the distance, it may result in another close card.

Ignore the hysteria: Trump’s deportations will be an outbreak of lawfulness
this past June and awarded it 4.5/5 stars — an impressive rating for a budget axe built in Indonesia. Most surprising, the review noted, is that the guitar is part of the SE line as it could quite easily sit alongside the Silver Sky, Fiore and NF 53 in the PRS USA Bolt-On range. If the model seemed like a bargain at its $799 price, it looks even better this Black Friday when you can . The PRS SE NF3 cuts an impressive figure with its Ice Blue Metallic finish and rosewood fretboard. Add in the new noise-cancelling Narrowfield pickups and the deal gets even better. The NF3 is a full-sounding Stratocaster-type guitar but, in true PRS style, it also has huge stylistic potential, with remarkable build quality to boot. It features a poplar body bolted to a slab-sawn maple neck with PRS’s Wide Thin profile on a 25-inch scale-length, with a trio of the company's own Narrowfield DD ‘S’ humbuckers to provide a wide tonal palette. , where a guitar is made isn’t really relevant any more. It’s about the builder, not the country. “When we first started traveling to overseas guitar manufacturing facilities, we found that almost all their training over the decades had been to go fast, while our teaching about how to make instruments was about how to go well,” Smith explains. “Once they knew how to go well, the guitars they produce are of the same caliber as what we make here. So, as a definitive statement, the country a guitar is made in does not matter much. The skill and care of the instrument makers does matter.” That much is evident in the SE NF3. Its specs reveal a beautifully sculpted poplar body bolted to a slab-sawn maple neck with PRS’s Wide Thin profile on a 25-inch scale-length, rather than the traditional Strat-like 25 1/2. Electronics include a trio of the PRS-designed Narrowfield DD ‘S’ humbuckers, whose tone is between a traditional single-coil and a humbucker. And indeed, rolling the master volume and tone controls and employing the five-way pickup selector lets you move between Fender Strat and Gibson SG voicing, giving the SE NF3 an impressively wide tonal palette. All the latest guitar news, interviews, lessons, reviews, deals and more, direct to your inbox! If there's one shortcoming reviewer Dave Burrluck found, it was the absence of a Tele-style bridge-and-neck pickup combination. “If we were to be picky, then the simple ‘seven-sound’ mod would expand your choices, not least allowing you to voice the neck and bridge pickups together." That mod would require nothing more than swapping out the stock tone control for one with a pull switch. “Indeed,” he continued, “installing that simple mod and a set of the SE locking tuners would really bring the NF3 dangerously close to the USA guitars. It really is that good.” Considering you’ll save $120 , you’ll have enough to take a sizable chunk out of what the suggested mods will cost.

MONTRÉAL , Dec. 17, 2024 /CNW/ - In an effort to keep the population safe this Holiday season, Montréal's fire department (SIM) would like to remind residents of the fire safety tips to follow during the Holidays. The following are some of the fire department's recommendations to reduce the risk of fires and the resulting damages, injuries or death. Christmas tree (natural or artificial) Set up your Christmas tree away from heat sources (baseboards, space heaters, fireplace, etc.) Turn off the Christmas lights when you go to sleep or leave your home. Cut approximately 1cm off the base of your Christmas tree before placing it in a water-filled stand. Make sure there is always water in the stand of your natural tree, in order to prevent it from drying out. Store your natural tree outside, in the shade after the Holiday period, in order to prevent it from drying out until it can be collected by the city. Keep the dry tree away from buildings, balconies, exits, flammable materials. Candles and lights Turn off Christmas lights and decorations indoors and outside before you go to bed or when you leave your home. Keep candles out of the reach of children or pets and place them where they are not at risk of being tipped over. Contain flames using a fireproof container. Turn off all candles when you go to bed or leave your home. Use a certified multiple outlet extension cord with power surge protection in order to plug several devices or light garlands. Opt for battery-operated candles and LED lights. Keep all decorations away from open flames and other heat sources such as light bulbs, light garlands, space heaters, etc. Never place any open-flame candles in a Christmas tree. Kitchen Use a timer so as not to forget a meal cooking on your stovetop or in a cooking appliance. Always keep an eye on your stove or cooking appliance when preparing a meal. Invite your guests to join you in the kitchen so as to avoid leaving your cooking appliances unattended. Make sure to turn off your stove or cooking appliance when you leave your home. Make sure to keep a functioning fire extinguisher on hand. Fire escapes Ensure that all fire escapes, including balconies and windows are visible, accessible and that the snow has been cleared. When choosing where to place your tree, make sure it does not obstruct any means of egress. Always keep your entrances clear (free of any cumbersome items near your doors.) Smoker's items Provide ashtrays outdoors for your guests. You may improvise one using a tin can containing humid sand and place it on a fireproof surface, shielded from the wind. Remember to empty the ashtrays regularly in order to avoid the accumulation of cigarette butts. Use of technological devices (lithium-ion batteries): A growing number of appliances used daily are operated by lithium-ion batteries. Few people realize that such devices as laptop computers, smartphones, tablets, scooters or electric bikes can start fires. Here are some tips regarding these devices: Make sure that the battery is not damaged. When replacing batteries, store the old ones away from heat sources, in fireproof containers. Make sure to recycle hazardous waste at ecocentres. Use chargers that comply with Canadian electrical standards and are certified for use with the type of device you are charging. Protect batteries from extended exposure to heat sources and from contact with water. Remain present while a device is charging in your home and observe the maximum charging times as directed. Read the manufacturer's instructions and comply with them. Smoke alarms Make sure you have a smoke alarm installed on every floor of your home, and that it is in good working order. This includes basements. It is the occupant's responsibility to maintain smoke alarms in their dwelling unit and to ensure they work. All residential buildings built prior to 1985 that are not equipped with electric smoke alarms must have smoke alarms operated by a non-removable, long-lasting 10-year battery. Buildings built after 1985 must be equipped with electric smoke alarms. The city's fire department strongly recommends the installation of smoke alarms in bedrooms and more specifically where people sleep with their doors closed. The city's fire department (SIM) encourages all Montrealers to remain vigilant during this time of festive gatherings, because fires can have a significant impact on people and their homes. Montréal's fire department would like to take this opportunity to wish all Montrealers a Happy Holiday Season! The fire department's spokesperson is available for media interviews on this subject from December 18 to 23 . Media outlets wishing to request an interview must contact the city's press relations at media.sim@montreal.ca .

2 convicted in human smuggling case after Indian family froze to death while crossing U.S.-Canada borderWheelchair-bound “Wicked” actress Mariss Bode has hit back after being subjected to nasty jokes about her disability following the release of the blockbuster movie. The 24-year-old, who has been confined to a wheelchair since her involvement in a car crash at the age of 11, plays protagonist Elphaba’s sister, Nessarose, in the big-screen adaptation of the wildly popular musical. Nessarose, who also uses a wheelchair in the film, has been poorly received by viewers, who have accused her the character of being a “bad sister” to Elphaba. In a five-minute TikTok video , shared on Friday, Bode explained that it was fine for audiences to dislike the character, admitting that she is “complex.” However, she criticized fans for highlighting her disability and poking fun at it. “Aggressive comments and jokes about Nessa’s disability itself is deeply uncomfortable, because disability is not fictional,” Bode explained. “At the end of the day, me, Marissa, is the person that is still disabled and in a wheelchair. And so it is simply a low-hanging fruit that too many of you are comfortable taking.” Bode said sick cyberbullies had left comments making fun of the fact she can’t stand up. They included remarks such as “stand up for yourself” and “I guess you can’t stand him.” “These comments aren’t original, and when these jokes are being made by non-disabled strangers with a punchline of not being able to walk, it very much feels like laughing at rather than laughing with ,” she declared. She said she had attempted to delete all the nasty “jokes” from her social media pages. Bode encouraged “Wicked” viewers to heed the messages of the musical. “I want to say one of the major themes within ‘Wicked’ is having the ability to listen and understand one another, and I truly hope that is something a lot of you can practice more and take with you,” she implored. The viral TikTok comes after other “Wicked” fans were blasted for bad behavior in the movie theater. Rude viewers have ruined screenings by singing along the the movie’s songs, prompting some cinemas to ban crooning . “They don’t know how to be in public places,” one peeved ticket buyer told The Post .
