fishing and life mod apk OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — In some sports, playing three games in 11 days would be considered a lull in the schedule. Football is different — although this type of stretch is becoming more common in the NFL. “I just kind of put myself in a basketball perspective. Those guys play back to back, so I guess there’s a little merit behind us quote-unquote complaining about it, but they are playing 82 games," Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton said. “MLB players are playing 162 games, and we have 17, and we’re trying to fight them to go to 18 right now. I think it’s good in a sense that we’ll see who is most prepared down the stretch, and it’s really challenging for teams — everybody that’s involved.” The Ravens are one of the five teams that are about to go through a three-game, 11-day stretch. The Ravens, Chiefs, Steelers and Texans are playing Sunday, the following Saturday and then the Wednesday after that on Christmas. Chicago has a game this coming Monday night, then plays the following Sunday before a Thursday game on Dec. 26. Before this season, 21 teams in the Super Bowl era had played three games in 11 days, according to Sportradar. In 2024 there are nine stretches like that on the schedule. In addition to the five teams above, four others have already gone through a three-game, 11-day period. The Jets, Seahawks, Saints and Cowboys all had Monday-Sunday-Thursday runs like the Bears are about to face. The Jets and Cowboys managed to go 2-1 during those stretches, but the Seahawks and Saints went 0-3. “Try to win the first one, rest, try to get your body back how it should be,” Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson said. “If it’s not 100 percent, try to get it close as possible — just get ready to play football. That’s all.” For Baltimore, the easiest game of the three is in theory the first. As of Thursday afternoon, the Ravens were favored by 16 points at the New York Giants this weekend, according to BetMGM Sportsbook — but Baltimore has already lost to last-place teams like the Raiders and Browns this season. So the Ravens need to be careful not to overlook the lowly Giants. After the trip to New Jersey, Baltimore returns home to face Pittsburgh in a game that figures to be vital to the Ravens' AFC North title hopes. Then there's a road game against AFC South-leading Houston on Christmas. “The big picture is, ‘All hands on deck.’ We’re focused toward playing our best game so far on Sunday,” coach John Harbaugh said. “We’re going to need to do that, and that’s what we’re training and preparing to do. We have a plan for the three-game stretch, and that plan starts with Sunday.” The Ravens played on Christmas last year too, but that was on a Monday, so it wasn't that big a change in the schedule. If there's one factor in Baltimore's favor this season, it's that the Ravens had their open date last week — immediately before their rugged three-game stretch. But that meant Baltimore was among the last teams to have a week off. And the Ravens started earlier than almost anyone else, having been part of the NFL's opening game against Kansas City. “We reported to camp earlier than everybody else for that Thursday night game, and I think KC had their bye a little while ago,” Hamilton said. “I guess we had the longest stretch, continuous, of anybody else. It’s just going to be that much better at the end of it all, when we do what we need to do, and we can look back on that and say, ‘We did that, and we came out and won these three games.’” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.

Africa Energy Announces Block 11B/12B Operations UpdateBEREA, Ohio — Jerry Jeudy has a chance to achieve in his first season in Cleveland the huge milestone that eluded him in his four seasons in Denver: a 1,000-yard season. With 56 yards Sunday against the Chiefs, Jeudy, the No. 15 overall pick by the Broncos out of Alabama in 2020, will hit the coveted mark that he should’ve reached long ago in Denver. “It means a lot, just because it’s going to be my first 1,000-yard season, new team first year,” said Jeudy. “So it’s a great feeling.” Has it bothered him that he didn’t get there before, while other great receivers, including many of his fellow 2020 first-rounders, hit it regularly? “I won’t say it bothered me, but I definitely thought about it,” he said. “All the elite receivers hit a thousand yards. I feel I was one receiver that could do that and this year I finally got an opportunity to.” Does he believe he always had it in him and just needed more opportunities? “Yeah, for sure, for sure,” he said.

Does he believe he should’ve had 1,000 long before this year? “Yeah, of course, but I’m not going to dwell on the past,” he said. “This year’s the year that I’m going to reach a thousand. It’s all in God’s timing.” His close friend and fellow Browns receiver Elijah Moore knows it was a long time coming. The two go all the way back to their youth 7-on-7 days back in South Florida with the Florida Fire, and Moore hated watching Jeudy languish in Denver. “We used to talk about it when we were playing 7-on-7,” he said. “This is what we always wanted. For any receiver, their own personal dream is to get 1,000 yards. He’s been working towards this in an organization before that didn’t value him, and now he’s being valued.” What’s more, Moore said, “he’s showing that the team before (this) was stupid.” When the Browns traded for Jeudy in March, sending fifth- and sixth-round picks in the 2024 draft, one knock against him was that he hadn’t reached the benchmark. Is it satisfying to prove people wrong? “The most important thing for me is really to prove myself right, just by it being a frustrating (four) years in my career, but I didn’t let that dwell on me,” he said. “I just kept working and now I’m in the position I am now, about to reach a thousand yards. But the main goal for me is really try to get to that Super Bowl and get to the playoffs for the first time in my career. So that’s something I’m going to keep striving and work towards.” Jeudy came painfully close to 1,000 yards during his 2022 season, when he had 972 — just 28 yards shy. It wasn’t for lack of trying or opportunities. Jeudy was targeted 24 times in his last three games, and he caught 18 passes for 309. In two of those games, he eclipsed 100 yards — 117 in a loss to the Rams, and 154 in the season-ending victory over the Chargers for the second-highest total of his career. But the killer in that stretch was the loss to the Chiefs in Week 17, in which he caught 7 of 8 targets for only 38 yards. In fact, if the Chiefs put the clamps on him Sunday the way they have in his first eight meetings against them, during which he went 1-7, he might not reach 1,000 on Sunday. In his eight games vs. them, Jeudy has caught 29 of 47 targets for 307 yards — an average of only 38.4 yards per game. But that’s before he became the valued No. 1 receiver he is with the Browns, and before he linked up with the cannon-armed Winston, who’s slinging it down the field to him early and often. This season, Jeudy is averaging 72.6 yards game, but with Winston, it’s 113. Over his last six games with Winston, he’s caught 38 of 55 attempts for 678 yards, with three TDs and a 17.84 per catch average. Included was his career-high 235-yard game against the Broncos, the most by a receiver against his former team in NFL history. The blistering stretch has him at No. 4 in the NFL with 944 yards, and No. 10 with a 16.0. per catch average. “Just the communication we have with each other and I feel like Jameis does a great job and he’s got a great feeling,” Jeudy said. “He does a great job of looking downfield and the pressure on and I just feel like he could do a great job just giving people opportunity, giving the playmakers the ball.” Stories by Mary Kay Cabot Browns receiver Jerry Jeudy seeks a milestone and Mike Hall likely to return: Berea Report (Video) What if the Browns had drafted Patrick Mahomes? Orange and Brown Talk Myles Garrett absent for a personal reason; key defender has a good chance to return vs. Chiefs: Browns takeaways The alliance between the two, and the Browns dialing up plenty of targets for Jeudy, has folks finally viewing him as a No. 1 receiver — something that didn’t happen in Denver in part because he dropped the ball too much as a rookie and was hurt his second season. It’s a distinction that’s extremely important to him. “Yeah, I mean I look at myself as a wide receiver one and I feel like I deserve that respect in the league,” he said. If he couldn’t reach his goal of the playoffs and a Super Bowl this year with the 3-10 Browns, the chance to plant his flag in the NFL has been a nice consolation prize. “Oh yeah, for sure,” he said. “For sure. I feel like we didn’t have the season that we want as a team, that’s the most important part and it’s kind of tough, but having a thousand yards, that’s a great feeling because like I said, all the great receivers reached the thousand-yard limit and I feel like I’m one receiver that could consistently do that.” In addition, Jeudy hopes to make the Pro Bowl this season, and posted a praying hands emoji reply to the Browns’ Pro Bowl voting graphic on social media. “Oh yeah, for sure, for sure,” he said. “Pro Bowl, you’re considered one of the top players if you reach that. So I pride myself on becoming one of the top players and I’m going to work towards that every year.” Jeudy will have his work cut out against the Chiefs corners, who know him well and will try to get their hands on him. “They’ve got great corners,” he said. “They play well together. They communicate well together. Us as a receiver group, I feel like we do a great job of beating press man, which they do a great job of. I think they’re the No. 1 team that do press man. So I feel like we got a great group of receivers that know how to beat press man and know how to get open to do that.” With David Njoku likely sitting out this game because of his hamstring injury, the Chiefs will pay even more attention to Jeudy. “You can put attention on me if you want, but we got other guys that can make plays too as well,” he said. “So the more attention on me, the more open other players going to get. So as long as you put up points and win the game, that’s all that matters.” But Cedric Tillman should be back from his concussion, and that will help. “He’s going to open up the passing game tremendously,” Jeudy said. “Having Ced back, that’s just another offensive weapon that we can use to the game plan. He’s been balling the last few games before he got hurt, so having him back really going to take a lot of attention off of me and keep them true to their coverage.” Jeudy, who can play all over the field, has been play-calling gold for offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. “His mind for the game and his intelligence, his ability to move into different spots, whether it’s inside, outside, X, Z, whatever it is definitely beneficial,” Dorsey said. “You want to be able to move guys around so a defense can’t get a beat on them and know exactly where they’re lining up every time. His mental ability to handle that and then the physical ability to run the routes and still be able to win is a huge advantage.” And now, Jeudy will finally have 1,000 yards to show for it, as soon as Sunday.

Several streaming services will broadcast the game live and you can watch on Fubo (free trial and $30 off your first month), DirecTV Stream (free trial) and Sling (promotional offers).

However, after a loss at the Steelers last week, Baltimore isn’t atop its division and would have to make a run through the wild card if the postseason started today. The Chargers, somewhat surprisingly, are off to a hot start. Los Angeles has won four straight games and has the top record among projected wild card teams in the AFC. While the game is important in the playoff race, there’s an underlying storyline. It’s a meeting of brothers. Jim Harbaugh coaches the Chargers while John Harbaugh is at the helm for the Ravens. It’s the first meeting between the two since John Harbaugh beat his brother in Super Bowl 47. They finally meet again 12 years later. “Walking off the field at that Super Bowl was like, there will be another day. And then there wasn’t for many years and it looked like I wouldn’t have a chance for another day,” Jim Harbaugh told reports Monday. “But by the grace of God, I’m back in it and back on a team that has a chance.” Check out a complete rundown of NFL Week 12 action , including the schedule, predictions, previews, TV information and more.

The S&P 500 ended 0.7% higher after having been down 0.5% in the early going. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also recovered from an early slide to eke out a 0.2% gain. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite rose 1%. Gains in technology and communications stocks accounted for much of the gains, outweighing losses in consumer goods companies and elsewhere in the market. Semiconductor giant Nvidia, whose enormous valuation gives it an outsize influence on indexes, rose 3.7%. Broadcom climbed 5.5% to also help support the broader market. Walmart fell 2% and PepsiCo slid 1%. Japanese automakers Honda and Nissan said they are talking about combining in a deal that might also include Mitsubishi Motors. U.S.-listed shares in Honda jumped 12.7%, while Nissan ended flat. Eli Lilly rose 3.7% after announcing that regulators approved Zepbound as the first and only prescription medicine for adults with sleep apnea. Department store Nordstrom fell 1.5% after it agreed to be taken private by Nordstrom family members and a Mexican retail group in a $6.25 billion deal. All told, the S&P 500 rose 43.22 points to 5,974.07. The Dow gained 66.69 points to 42,906.95. The Nasdaq rose 192.29 points to 19,764.89. Traders got a look at new snapshot of U.S. consumer confidence Monday. The Conference Board said that consumer confidence slipped in December. Its consumer confidence index fell back to 104.7 from 112.8 in November. Wall Street was expecting a reading of 113.8. The unexpectedly weak consumer confidence update follows several generally strong economic reports last week. One report showed the overall economy grew at a 3.1% annualized rate during the summer, faster than earlier thought. The latest report on unemployment benefit applications showed that the job market remains solid. A report on Friday said a measure of inflation the Federal Reserve likes to use was slightly lower last month than economists expected. Worries about inflation edging higher again had been weighing on Wall Street and the Fed. The central bank just delivered its third cut to interest rates this year, but inflation has been hovering stubbornly above its target of 2%. It has signaled that it could deliver fewer cuts to interest rates next year than it earlier anticipated because of concerns over inflation. Expectations for more interest rate cuts have helped drive a roughly 25% gain for the S&P 500 in 2024. That drive included 57 all-time highs this year. Inflation concerns have added to uncertainties heading into 2025, which include the labor market's path ahead and shifting economic policies under an incoming President Donald Trump. "Put simply, much of the strong market performance prior to last week was driven by expectations that a best-case scenario was the base case for 2025," said Brent Schutte, chief investment officer at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Company Treasury yields rose in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.59% from 4.53% late Friday. European markets closed mostly lower, while markets in Asia gained ground. Wall Street has several other economic reports to look forward to this week. On Tuesday, the U.S. will release its November report for sales of newly constructed homes. A weekly update on unemployment benefits is expected on Thursday. Markets in the U.S. will close at 1 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday for Christmas Eve and will remain closed on Wednesday for Christmas.The University of Colorado Boulder has created a free resource to help people recover their loved ones' digital accounts or make plans for their own after death.

Trump is named Time's Person of the Year and rings the New York Stock Exchange's opening bell NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange after being recognized by Time magazine as its person of the year. The honors Thursday for the businessman-turned-politician are a measure of Trump’s remarkable comeback from an ostracized former president who refused to accept his election loss four years ago to a president-elect who won the White House decisively in November. At the stock exchange, Trump was accompanied by his wife, Melania Trump, daughters Ivanka and Tiffany and Vice President-elect JD Vance. Trump grinned as people chanted “USA” before he opened the trading day and raised his fist.

Xie said, "Great achievements have been made to Sanya's wedding industry over the past one year. According to the statistics, the whole Sanya City received 200,000 couples who came here for shooting their wedding photographs, held over 10,000 wedding ceremonies, and received over 200,000 couples coming here for their honeymoon in 2023. Our total revenues of tourism broke through RMB 10 billion in 2023. With the acceleration of Sanya's internationalization and our constant exploration and practice, Tianya Haijiao Festival will become a bridge connecting the whole world and transmitting love and hope."

We made transformation from the original concept of wedding ceremony to today's romance banquet and expanded the activity scope to more groups such as couples that just married, lovers and tourists from the original wedding ceremonies. We've also planned a series of colorful and attractive activities. We cooperated with hotels, commercial complexes and scenic spots this time and set tick-off points in Sanya Dongtian Park Tourist Attraction, Luhuitou Scenic Spot, Dadonghai Tourist Attraction and Sanya Joy City Shopping Center to intensify the deep integration with cultural tourism industry. To enable our tourists to experience more and different sites, we've opened the bus route for the round trip of Tianya Haijiao and Joy City on December 13-15. The buses will depart from Tianya Haijiao Bus Stop at 10:00, 14:30 and 17:00 every day." Image: https://www.globalnewslines.com/uploads/2024/12/30c1e8d78dc74adc3106ba7a23fc8473.jpg As one of the highlights for the ceremony, the show of Chinese and western wedding dresses were displayed on the stage. Both the marvelous and beautiful western wedding dresses and the amazing and magnificent Chinese wedding dresses impressed the audiences and won applauses from them. Ms. Zhou, a tourist from Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province fully praised these dresses, "they're really amazing and touching; they are just what I imagine about wedding ceremony." She also said she would choose her own wedding dress from these brands.

The designers said they hoped to allow more couples to know about the diversity of wedding dresses and formal dresses through this Festival to help them create the image they dreamt of. The designer Su Ying interpreted and shared the stage design on the opening ceremony. Stage design concept: "Encountering you, offering you, joining hands with you and spending the rest time of life with you"; the stage model was designed creatively through decomposing and re-assembling the coastal elements such as coconut forest, beach and sea wave. The center of the stage was designed in the form of a flying wing and the edges of the whole stage were decorated to foster the glistening light of waves on the sea. The whole stage seems like an island, which is decorated with gauze curtain, to bring the effect of tide and wedding dress dancing with wind. Image: https://www.globalnewslines.com/uploads/2024/12/1ad4d9f84e96a518fe34102b5b68965e.jpg As a highlight of the opening ceremony,15 couples wearing the Western and Chinese wedding dresses arrived at the site of Tianya Haijiao wedding ceremony by Sanle tourism railway, adding the romantic atmosphere to the whole Sanya City. On the amazing stage, these couples made their debut via different ways, such as helicopter, yacht, sports car, etc., representing the traditions and custom of "Three Letters and Six Etiquettes" and "marriage". The link of oath in modern western marriage ceremony was also designed to make a difference through the interaction of the Chinese and western culture. The Festival was held successfully, which not only brings couples unforgettable and special wedding ceremony but also builds a bridge for the exchange and cooperation of wedding ceremony industry and promotes the inheritance and development of wedding ceremony culture. The Festival has become a wedding ceremony tourism brand with worldwide influence in Sanya City after successful holding for 28 sessions. The iconic brand has not only improved Sanya City's charm as a destination for romantic wedding ceremony but also served as a key point for attracting tourists home and abroad.
