Stock markets waver as traders weigh Trump tariffs, inflation
With a masterful blend of humor and suspense, the comedian revealed that Lady Conch was not just an eccentric shell collector, but a malevolent entity who preyed on unsuspecting women in the dead of night. Her shell collection, it turned out, was not just a hobby but a sinister means of luring her victims into her clutches.However, some state workers failed to return to their jobs and a United Nations official said the country’s public sector had come “to a complete and abrupt halt”. Meanwhile, streams of refugees crossed back into Syria from neighbouring countries, hoping for a more peaceful future and looking for relatives who disappeared during Mr Assad’s brutal rule. There were already signs of the difficulties ahead for the rebel alliance now in control of much of the country. The alliance is led by a former senior al-Qaida militant, who severed ties with the extremist group years ago and has promised representative government and religious tolerance. The rebel command said they would not tell women how to dress. “It is strictly forbidden to interfere with women’s dress or impose any request related to their clothing or appearance, including requests for modesty,” the command said in a statement on social media. Nearly two days after rebels entered the capital, some key government services had shut down after state workers ignored calls to go back to their jobs, the UN official said, causing issues at airports and borders and slowing the flow of humanitarian aid. Rebel leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, who was known by his nom de guerre Abu Mohammed al-Golani, also met with Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi Jalali for the first time. Mr Jalali stayed in Syria when Mr Assad fled and has sought to project normalcy since. “We are working so that the transitional period is quick and smooth,” he told Sky News Arabia TV on Monday, saying the security situation had already improved from the day before. At the court of Justice in Damascus, which was stormed by the rebels to free detainees, Judge Khitam Haddad, an aide to the justice minister in the outgoing government, said that judges were ready to resume work quickly. “We want to give everyone their rights,” Mr Haddad said outside the courthouse. “We want to build a new Syria and to keep the work, but with new methods.” But a UN official said some government services had been paralysed as worried state employees stayed at home. The public sector “has just come to a complete and abrupt halt,” said Adam Abdelmoula, UN resident and humanitarian co-ordinator for Syria, noting, for example, that an aid flight carrying urgently needed medical supplies had been put on hold after aviation employees abandoned their jobs. “This is a country that has had one government for 53 years and then suddenly all of those who have been demonised by the public media are now in charge in the nation’s capital,” Mr Abdelmoula told The Associated Press. “I think it will take a couple of days and a lot of assurance on the part of the armed groups for these people to return to work again.” In a video shared on a rebel messaging channel, Mr al-Sharaa said: “You will see there are skills” among the rebels. The Kremlin said Russia has granted political asylum to Mr Assad, a decision made by President Vladimir Putin. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov declined to comment on Mr Assad’s specific whereabouts and said Mr Putin did not plan to meet with him. Damascus was quiet Monday, with life slowly returning to normal, though most shops and public institutions were closed. In public squares, some people were still celebrating. Civilian traffic resumed, but there was no public transport. Long lines formed in front of bakeries and other food stores. There was little sign of any security presence though in some areas, small groups of armed men were stationed in the streets.
Published 4:20 pm Tuesday, December 10, 2024 By Sabrina Simms Robertson NATCHEZ — A long-time, well-known educator in Natchez passed away in late November at the age of 81. Bettie Minor was an educator for nearly 40 years in Natchez beginning in 1964, according to her daughter, Vermelle Minor. A native of Hazelhurst, Bettie Minor’s influence to become a teacher began during her childhood teaching her younger siblings, Vermelle said. “She was the third of 10 children and the oldest daughter,” she said. Compounding health issues made Bettie Minor move to Dallas, Texas closer to her daughter, but since she started her career as a Social Studies teacher at Sadie V. Thompson High School in 1964, Natchez has been her home, Vermelle said. She later taught at North Natchez, South Natchez, and Natchez High School. “After she retired in 2003, she still worked at the Natchez Children’s Home as a tutor,” Vermelle said. “She cared deeply and wanted to give back to the community.” Bettie Minor was an active member of her community, contributing to various organizations and causes. She worked with the NAACP and the Democratic Women of Adams County, served as Secretary for the Adams County Democratic Committee, and was a past president of the Adams County Teachers’ Association. As a member of the Emma Morris Chapter No. 12 Order of the Eastern Star for 54 years, Bettie Minor was instrumental as an instructor, mentor and “connoisseur in helping others move forward,” Minor said. As a mom, Vermelle described Bettie Minor as stern but loving. “She saw the best in you and the potential of what you could do and pushed you to be your best,” she said. “Now that (my siblings and I) are older, it’s an innate part of our personalities to communicate well with others, get things done and be persistent and consistent in everything we do because of her.” Bettie and her husband Robert Lee Minor Sr. had two children, Vermelle and Marco. Bettie Minor also embraced the role of mother to Maurice Minor, the late Minnie Minor, Robert Lee Minor Jr., and Carl Elijah Minor. Before the years of computer-generated tests, Vermelle recalled her mother spending hours at home writing out her tests by hand and grading them afterward. Her other hobbies were gardening, fishing and watching football and basketball games. She always pulled for the underdog, said her son Marco. “She did like Brady and Mahomes until they started winning all of the time. She always said, ‘You’ve had your turn, now let the next person get the ball and move on.’ That’s the teacher in her,” he said. Bettie Minor’s first-time bass fishing, “She caught one that got off the hook. Moments later, if she didn’t pull that same fish out of the water,” Vermelle said. “Ever since she always loved fishing with dad. He would say he didn’t get to fish. He would just sit there and bate the poles over and over and she would keep pulling the fish in.” Marco added their mother loved helping people and wasn’t afraid to admit when she was wrong or when one of her children was wrong. “She believed in doing the right thing by people,” he said. “She also never met a stranger. If she saw someone in the room, she didn’t know she would say, ‘Come on over and talk to me. I don’t think I’ve met you yet.’ She would bring you in.” Besides dedicating her life to being an educator, mentor, mother and serving her community, Bettie Minor also was a devout Christian woman and active member of Beulah Missionary Baptist Church since 1970, where she served as Secretary, Chaplain of the Senior Choir, and President of the Beulah Clubs. She also served as Recording Secretary for the Women’s Auxiliary of Adams County and on the Memorial and Praise Committee. Bettie sang with the Gospel Choir, the Voices of Hope, where she was the Financial Secretary for the Voices of Hope, and participated annually in the Fall Pilgrimage. Vermelle said Bettie Minor is sorely missed. “You don’t find many like her. It’s hard to lose a gem like she was. Her light shines bright, even when she is gone,” she said.6.

Seahawks safety Coby Bryant scored the first pick 6 of his career on Sunday to give Seattle a third-quarter cushion against the Arizona Cardinals. He celebrated with a tribute to one of Seattle's favorite sons — a crotch grab in honor of Marshawn Lynch. It's a move that will surely cost Bryant some money while met with glowing reviews in the Pacific Northwest. The play took place midway through the third quarter as Seattle held a 7-3 lead. Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray overthrew Michael Wilson on a fourth-and-1 pass from the Seattle 39. Bryant was there to pick it off. He then raced 69 yards down the left sideline to the end zone. When he reached the goal line, he leapt backward and grabbed his crotch a la Lynch to the delight of the home Seattle crowd. HOUSE CALL FOR COBY 🎱 — Seattle Seahawks (@Seahawks) The move was an ode to Lynch, the ex-Seahawks great who made the celebration his own much to the chagrin of the NFL. Lynch first pulled the move while scoring a touchdown in the 2015 NFC championship. The league for the gesture. The celebration has resurfaced multiple times since, with the most recent iteration just last week . Bryant, who's playing on the the third season of his four-year, $4.5 million rookie contract, should expect a fine in the same neighborhood. The Seahawks, meanwhile, are fully embracing Bryant's celebration on social media with a juxtaposition of Bryant's crotch grab next to Lynch's. Art But Make It...
