Steel Casting Market to Grow by USD 7.27 Billion (2024-2028), Driven by Rising Construction Activities, AI Redefining Market Landscape - TechnavioThe Pittsburgh Steelers have exceeded expectations thus far in 2024, as the team is 8-3 and atop the AFC North through 12 weeks. Pittsburgh suffered a disappointing 24-19 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football in Week 12 but will look to bounce back in Week 13 versus the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium. Though the Steelers have one of the most complete rosters in the NFL, the team still has some glaring weaknesses, primarily at cornerback. Outside of Joey Porter Jr., Pittsburgh lacks consistent production and high-level play at the position. Though Donte Jackson has shown flashes of dominance, the veteran has been extremely inconsistent in his debut campaign with the Steelers. General manager Omar Khan should look to address Pittsburgh's need for another boundary corner this offseason, and Bleacher Report's Alex Ballentine believes San Francisco 49ers' defensive back Charvarius Ward could join the Steelers in the offseason. Charvarius Ward's contract with the San Francisco 49ers is set to void at the end of the season. He will likely be a pricey free agent, and it only makes sense to sign him to a one- or two-year deal, but he could be the kind of player that puts the Steelers defense over the top. Pittsburgh is a legitimate contender this season because of an elite defense and an offense that understands how to help that elite defense. Joey Porter Jr. continues to improve, but veteran corner Donte Jackson is a bit of a liability. Ward wouldn't come cheap and they may have to do some cap gymnastics to make it work, but the risk could be worth the reward. Ward has been one of the most consistent cornerbacks in the NFL over the last few seasons, as the former undrafted free agent had a career year in 2023 and is having another solid campaign in 2024. Ward posted a career-high five interceptions and a league-leading 23 passes defended last season and was selected to the Pro Bowler and earned a second-team All-Pro selection. Ward doesn't have the flashy interception numbers this year, but the 28-year-old is allowing just a 53% completion rate and an 86.5 passer rating when targeted. The former Middle Tennessee State standout has missed the last three games due to personal reasons. Though Ward hasn't been elite in 2024, adding the Super Bowl LVI champion would be a savvy move from Omar Khan. Ward is still a reliable player who hasn't sustained many major injuries in his career and would be an excellent fit alongside Joey Porter in the secondary. Signing Ward shouldn't be problematic for Khan, as the Steelers are set to boast over $57 million in cap space, per Spotrac , and the former Kansas City Chief shouldn't demand an unreasonable deal. Ward has been an integral piece to the 49ers' defense over the last few years, but San Francisco recently gave fellow cornerback Deommodore Lenoir a $92 million extension , meaning Ward is likely the odd man out in the team's defensive back room.MSNBC's Thursday afternoon political panel broke out laughing after The Bulwark's Charlie Sykes lodged a unique jab at one of Donald Trump's potential Cabinet picks. The segment came following a video of Pete Hegseth denigrating LGBTQ service members in the military and questioning their ability to do their jobs. Trump's secretary of defense pick said various military branches want women in their forces to put them on a recruitment poster. Host Nicolle Wallace pointed out that Trump's affinity for the "manosphere" means more nominees from that world have made controversial statements that could hurt their nominations. ALSO READ: GOP senators reveal Fox News staff have launched lobbying blitz for Hegseth Sykes agreed and said Hegseth is unique in that "he's not only ideologically extreme, he's verbally incontinent." Wallace and Dr. Basil Smikle burst into laughter. Sykes continued, promising that more would come out about Hegseth between now and the Senate vote, which is months away. "And this is also the problem of, I think, that we have been talking about it, voters vote for certain things but then you get into the details," he said. "Then you get into the what exactly do you mean when you say this sort of thing? You're going to see one of these nominees after another, and you have to explain in some detail exactly why they said what they did, why they don't mean what they obviously said, and what they actually believe now. It is going to be an interesting thing to watch." See the comments below or at the link here . - YouTube youtu.be

Auckland FC coach Steve Corica has accused his Wellington Phoenix counterpart Giancarlo Italiano of being “disrespectful” to the expansion franchise, upset by comments made ahead of Saturday’s derby. The match at Mt Smart was a beauty – full of drama, colour and no little action – as Auckland continued their early hex over the capital team with a 2-1 win in front of a record 26, 253 crowd. Another layer was added to the rivalry after the game, with Corica clearly upset by a Phoenix press conference on Friday. Italiano had claimed Auckland were “there for the taking” and “very vulnerable”, while also saying they had been “very lucky” during their winning run and benefited from a favourable early schedule, with only one of their first six matches across the Tasman. “I’m a little bit disappointed, to be honest with Chief [Italiano],” said Corica. “He said things in the media that were a little bit disrespectful to our team – that we are there for the taking, we’ve been lucky. “We haven’t been lucky. You need a little bit of luck, obviously, to win games, but we have won all six. You don’t get lucky by doing that.”Tharindu Ramanayake is an up and coming young film director who has taken a dramatic turn into a little-known venture in Sri Lanka, dance films. His cinematic creation merged contemporary dance and traditional dance forms to showcase the tragedy of a sea oyster following the aftermath of the Express Pearl disaster. The dance film has received many plaudits and has been showcased in many Film Festivals in Asia and Europe. ‘This is not a pearl’ won in the Experimental International Category at the 2024 Big Syn International Film Festival in London and has been nominated for various other Festivals including the South Asian Film Festival 2024 and in the Documentary Section at the prestigious 23rd Imagine India International Film Festival in Madrid, Spain among many others. Tharindu has a background in filmmaking and has made several short films, a full length film and music videos. This is the first dance film he has done and one of the first in Sri Lanka to have been acclaimed in the international circuit. Filmmaking His foray into filmmaking started when he began studying drama and theatre for his degree, later on he received a scholarship to study at the Rabindra bharati University, in Kolkata. He got another scholarship to study film direction and script writing at the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute and was the first Sri Lankan to achieve this accolade. Youth Observer sat with this talented filmmaker to delve deep into his artistic process and career in filmmaking. Dance films are a little known genre in Sri Lanka so what inspired Tharindu to make a dance film? “The main dancer in the film called me and said she would like to do a dance film” said Tharindu.” I have danced as a child, so I wanted to experiment because no one has attempted to do a dance film before. Once I researched the idea, I realised this genre was not popular in Sri Lanka and I was eager to try out this new concept”, he said. Tharindu was influenced by Maya Derrin who was the pioneer of this genre. “But the way I conceptualised the film, blending politics, dance and environmental issues is something new, I didn’t have anything to influence me. I wanted my dance film to have the vibe of a documentary; however, in Sri Lanka the documentary has a standard prototype. A narration plays in the background, with interviews. But, internationally documentaries have evolved. The lines are blurred between fiction films and documentaries, sometimes we can’t figure out whether it’s a film or a documentary. This is what I aspired to do with my work although it is a fictional story I take props from the real incident and work accordingly to bridge it closer to reality”, Tharindu said. Environmental catastrophe The Express Pearl disaster was one of the biggest environmental catastrophes that have occurred in Sri Lanka in recent years, a true environmentalist at heart the plight of the environment and the animals that lived in the sea touched Tharindu. As an aspiring film director he questioned why no one voiced this issue through cinematic mediums. “I believe the more we connect to nature our true selves emerge” said Tharindu. “When this catastrophe occurred in Sri Lanka I was in India. While I was going through the pictures I noticed a fish whose gills were embedded with plastic particles. In the article it said ‘these are not pearls’. That was my inspiration says Tharindu. “Three words came to my mind as I saw this, Sri Lanka is called Pearl of the Indian Ocean and the name of the ship was Express Pearl and the plastic that glistened looked like pearls. That’s how I turned the fish into an oyster and wondered instead of the pearl if a plastic particle entered the oyster what would be the outcome”, he said. In the film a pearl oyster living happily in the Indian Ocean encounters a ‘strange pearl’ the Pearl Express which completely changed the environment where it lived. The pearl that she had been protecting gets corrupt and turns black with oil and is destroyed. When the oyster floats away it tries to find its pearl only to encounter many little plastic pearls and it puts it inside only to find that these are plastic pearls and then it dies! Cinematic quality The cinematic quality of the dance film is highly captivating that one wonders whether the Film maker was trying to downplay the tragedy that befell our oceans. “Didn’t you feel sad at the plight of the oyster pearl?” asks Tharindu. “I wanted to evoke a sense of pity. I believe through this film I was able to summon these emotions rather than seeing the disaster. From smearing colour in the face to depict the contorted dancing, my intention was not to beautify the dancer, but rather to bring about the emotions of the pearl oyster” said Tharindu. The dance film has a documentary feel to it with the real footage capturing the disaster as it actually happened. Tharindu wants the audience to feel that it is a real situation without getting caught up in the cinematography and the aesthetics of his production. The film incorporates a range of dance genres, the dancer Ama Nethmi is a contemporary dancer. However, the production was not to restrict to one form of dance. The main purpose of the dance was to tell a story, animal movements and kathak dancing were acted out. Towards the end of the film, many viewers felt that they didn’t see a dancer there but an animal writhing in pain In one instance the oyster tries to fan out the engulfing flames, according to Tharindu this was inspired by the Jataka tale where a squirrel mother tried to empty the ocean with its tail to save her child, which is an impossible situation. The oyster in a similar fashion tries to save her precious pearl. “I don’t make films to give a message” quips Tharindu, “a message is naturally conveyed but that is not the sole purpose. I expressed what I felt, an environmental tragedy had befallen the country and action should be taken to rectify it”, he said. The long-term consequence of this tragedy is irreparable. To this very day we are probably eating salt, laden with micro plastics. So what does the future hold for this passionate young filmmaker? “I might do another dance film, purely based on dance because ‘This is not a Pearl’ falls into the category of an experimental documentary film more so than a dance film,” added Tharindu. “I am someone who likes to diversify my creations; I don’t like to stick to just one thing”, Tharindu says. The future looks bright for Tharindu as he gears up to dive into other unchartered territories in film while capturing the hearts and minds of his audience.Pearl Diver Credit Company Inc.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks rose Monday, with those benefiting the most from lower interest rates and a stronger economy leading the way. The S&P 500 climbed 0.3% to pull closer to its all-time high set two weeks ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 440 points, or 1%, to its own record set on Friday, while the Nasdaq composite rose 0.3%. Treasury yields also eased in the bond market amid what some analysts called a “Bessent bounce” after President-elect Donald Trump said he wants Scott Bessent , a hedge fund manager, to be his Treasury Secretary. Bessent has argued for reducing the U.S. government’s deficit, which is how much more it spends than it takes in through taxes and other revenue. Such an approach could soothe worries on Wall Street that Trump’s policies may lead to a much bigger deficit, which in turn would put upward pressure on Treasury yields. After climbing above 4.44% immediately after Trump’s election, the yield on the 10-year Treasury fell back to 4.26% Monday, down from 4.41% late Friday. That’s a notable move, and lower yields make it cheaper for all kinds of companies and households to borrow money. They also give a boost to prices for stocks and other investments. That helped stocks of smaller companies lead the way, and the Russell 2000 index of smaller stocks jumped 1.5%. It finished just shy of its all-time high, which was set three years ago. Smaller companies can feel bigger boosts from lower borrowing costs because of the need for many to borrow to grow. The two-year Treasury yield, which more closely tracks the market’s expectations for what the Federal Reserve will do with overnight interest rates, also eased sharply. The Fed began cutting its main interest rate just a couple months ago from a two-decade high, hoping to keep the job market humming after bringing inflation nearly all the way down to its 2% target. But immediately after Trump’s victory, traders had reduced bets for how many cuts the Fed may deliver next year. They were worried Trump’s preference for lower tax rates and higher spending on the border would balloon the national debt. A report coming on Wednesday could influence how much the Fed may cut rates. Economists expect it to show that an underlying inflation trend the Fed prefers to use accelerated to 2.8% last month from 2.7% in September. Higher inflation would make the Fed more reluctant to cut rates as deeply or as quickly as it would otherwise. Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle expects that to slow by the end of next year to 2.4%, but he said inflation would be even lower if not for expected tariff increases on imports from China and autos favored by Trump. In the stock market, Bath & Body Works jumped 16.5% after delivering stronger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected. The seller of personal care products and home fragrances also raised its financial forecasts for the full year, even though it still sees a “volatile retail environment” and a shorter holiday shopping season this year. Much focus has been on how resilient U.S. shoppers can remain, given high prices across the economy and still-high interest rates. Last week, two major retailers sent mixed messages. Target tumbled after giving a dour forecast for the holiday shopping season. It followed Walmart , which gave a much more encouraging outlook. Another big retailer, Macy’s, said Monday its sales for the latest quarter were in line with its expectations, but it will delay the release of its full financial results. It found a single employee had intentionally hid up to $154 million in delivery expenses, and it needs more time to complete its investigation. Macy’s stock fell 2.2%. Among the market’s leaders were several companies related to the housing industry. Monday’s drop in Treasury yields could translate into easier mortgage rates, which could spur activity for housing. Builders FirstSource, a supplier or building materials, rose 5.9%. Homebuilders, D.R. Horton, PulteGroup and Lennar all rose at least 5.6%. All told, the S&P 500 rose 18.03 points to 5,987.37. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 440.06 to 44,736.57, and the Nasdaq composite gained 51.18 to 19,054.84. In stock markets abroad, indexes moved modestly across much of Europe after finishing mixed in Asia. In the crypto market, bitcoin was trading below $95,000 after threatening to hit $100,000 late last week for the first time. AP Business Writer Elaine Kurtenbach contributed.
