The return of Messi couldn't come at a better time for Barcelona, as they have been facing some challenging times on the field. With inconsistent performances and a string of disappointing results, the Blaugrana are in desperate need of their captain's magic touch. Messi's mere presence on the pitch not only lifts the spirits of his teammates but also strikes fear into the hearts of their opponents.
Apple Loop: iPhone 17 Pro Details, Apple’s 2025 Plans, New iPad Pro SecretsNEW YORK (AP) — Walmart's sweeping rollback of its diversity policies is the strongest indication yet of a profound shift taking hold at U.S. companies that are revaluating the legal and political risks associated with bold programs to bolster historically underrepresented groups in business. The changes announced by the world's biggest retailer followed a string of legal victories by conservative groups that have filed an onslaught of lawsuits challenging corporate and federal programs aimed at elevating minority and women-owned businesses and employees. The risk associated with some of programs crystalized with the election of former President Donald Trump, whose administration is certain to make dismantling diversity, equity and inclusion programs a priority. Trump's incoming deputy chief of policy will be his former adviser Stephen Miller , who leads a group called America First Legal that has aggressively challenged corporate DEI policies. “There has been a lot of reassessment of risk looking at programs that could be deemed to constitute reverse discrimination,” said Allan Schweyer, principal researcher the Human Capital Center at the Conference Board. “This is another domino to fall and it is a rather large domino,” he added. Among other changes, Walmart said it will no longer give priority treatment to suppliers owned by women or minorities. The company also will not renew a five-year commitment for a racial equity center set up in 2020 after the police killing of George Floyd. And it pulled out of a prominent gay rights index . Schweyer said the biggest trigger for companies making such changes is simply a reassessment of their legal risk exposure, which began after U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in June 2023 that ended affirmative action in college admissions. Since then, conservative groups using similar arguments have secured court victories against various diversity programs, especially those that steer contracts to minority or women-owned businesses. Most recently, the conservative Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty won a victory in a case against the U.S. Department of Transportation over its use of a program that gives priority to minority-owned businesses when it awards contracts. Companies are seeing a big legal risk in continuing with DEI efforts, said Dan Lennington, a deputy counsel at the institute. His organization says it has identified more than 60 programs in the federal government that it considers discriminatory, he said. “We have a legal landscape within the entire federal government, all three branches -- the U.S. Supreme Court, the Congress and the President -- are all now firmly pointed in the direction towards equality of individuals and individualized treatment of all Americans, instead of diversity, equity and inclusion treating people as members of racial groups,” Lennington said. The Trump administration is also likely to take direct aim at DEI initiatives through executive orders and other policies that affect private companies, especially federal contractors. “The impact of the election on DEI policies is huge. It can’t be overstated,” said Jason Schwartz, co-chair of the Labor & Employment Practice Group at law firm Gibson Dunn. With Miller returning to the White House, rolling back DEI initiatives is likely to be a priority, Schwartz said. “Companies are trying to strike the right balance to make clear they’ve got an inclusive workplace where everyone is welcome, and they want to get the best talent, while at the same time trying not to alienate various parts of their employees and customer base who might feel one way or the other. It’s a virtually impossible dilemma,” Schwartz said. A recent survey by Pew Research Center showed that workers are divided on the merits of DEI policies. While still broadly popular, the share of workers who said focusing on workplace diversity was mostly a good thing fell to 52% in the November survey, compared to 56% in a similar survey in February 2023. Rachel Minkin, a research associated at Pew called it a small but significant shift in short amount of time. There will be more companies pulling back from their DEI policies, but it likely won’t be a retreat across the board, said David Glasgow, executive director of the Meltzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging at New York University. “There are vastly more companies that are sticking with DEI," Glasgow said. "The only reason you don’t hear about it is most of them are doing it by stealth. They’re putting their heads down and doing DEI work and hoping not to attract attention.” Glasgow advises organizations to stick to their own core values, because attitudes toward the topic can change quickly in the span of four years. “It’s going to leave them looking a little bit weak if there’s a kind of flip-flopping, depending on whichever direction the political winds are blowing,” he said. One reason DEI programs exist is because without those programs, companies may be vulnerable to lawsuits for traditional discrimination. “Really think carefully about the risks in all directions on this topic,” Glasgow said. Walmart confirmed will no longer consider race and gender as a litmus test to improve diversity when it offers supplier contracts. Last fiscal year, Walmart said it spent more than $13 billion on minority, women or veteran-owned good and service suppliers. It was unclear how its relationships with such business would change going forward. Organizations that that have partnered with Walmart on its diversity initiatives offered a cautious response. The Women’s Business Enterprise National Council, a non-profit that last year named Walmart one of America's top corporation for women-owned enterprises, said it was still evaluating the impact of Walmart's announcement. Pamela Prince-Eason, the president and CEO of the organization, said she hoped Walmart's need to cater to its diverse customer base will continue to drive contracts to women-owned suppliers even if the company no longer has explicit dollar goals. “I suspect Walmart will continue to have one of the most inclusive supply chains in the World,” Prince-Eason wrote. “Any retailer's ability to serve the communities they operate in will continue to value understanding their customers, (many of which are women), in order to better provide products and services desired and no one understands customers better than Walmart." Walmart's announcement came after the company spoke directly with conservative political commentator and activist Robby Starbuck, who has been going after corporate DEI policies, calling out individual companies on the social media platform X. Several of those companies have subsequently announced that they are pulling back their initiatives, including Ford , Harley-Davidson, Lowe’s and Tractor Supply . Walmart confirmed to The Associated Press that it will better monitor its third-party marketplace items to make sure they don’t feature sexual and transgender products aimed at minors. The company also will stop participating in the Human Rights Campaign’s annual benchmark index that measures workplace inclusion for LGBTQ+ employees. A Walmart spokesperson added that some of the changes were already in progress and not as a result of conversations that it had with Starbuck. RaShawn “Shawnie” Hawkins, senior director of the HRC Foundation’s Workplace Equality Program, said companies that “abandon” their commitments workplace inclusion policies “are shirking their responsibility to their employees, consumers, and shareholders.” She said the buying power of LGBTQ customers is powerful and noted that the index will have record participation of more than 1,400 companies in 2025.As the highly charged battle to decide on real 'Sena' will be settled on November 23, Saturday, Thane's Kopri-Pachpakhadi has emerged as a crucial seat where Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is currently fighting against Uddhav Thackeray's faction leader Kedar Dighe.

The poll season was dominated by conflicting narratives ranging from the opposition's planks on economic distress, farmers's woes, the Centre's "discrimination" against Maharashtra and the BJP's alleged role in breaking up the two regional parties. Meanwhile, the ruling alliance touted its welfare schemes, development projects and the Hindutva agenda against what it slammed as the MVA's appeasement politics. The election featured two major political alliances competing for a majority: Mahayuti alliance (NDA): Led by the BJP, the alliance includes Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar's faction of the NCP. Maha Vikas Aghadi (INDIA bloc): This opposition alliance comprises the Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and Sharad Pawar's faction of the NCP. Both groups campaigned extensively across the state, aiming to secure a mandate to govern Maharashtra. (with agency inputs) (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel )
Want to break bread without breaking up the family this Thanksgiving? Try leaving politics at the door. This month’s presidential election was particularly polarizing and the internet is rife with stories of people planning to skip holiday gatherings or being uninvited to get-togethers due to who voted for who. For example, a CBS News/YouGov poll found 1 in 10 people have changed their plans to avoid gathering with people who voted for a different presidential candidate than they did. But experts say friends and family members of all political ideologies can enjoy one another’s company by focusing on other topics and being grateful for the positives in their lives. That’s the sentiment shared by folks across Franklin County and the North Quabbin region who were interviewed by the Greenfield Recorder ahead of Turkey Day. Orange resident Ann Reed said she is looking forward to again having Thanksgiving in Grafton, where her daughter lives and is hosting a gathering of friends and family. Passionate about her small-government views, Reed said her daughter is a theater professional and has many liberal friends in the arts world. “There have always been people who find it very intellectual to argue politics at the dinner table. I have always found it to be uncouth and ungrateful and a Heimlich maneuver waiting to happen,” she said with a laugh. “We’ve just enjoyed the holiday.” Reed mentioned seeing some younger women online talking about removing their fathers from their lives for voting for President-elect Donald Trump. She said this hurt her on a personal level because her father died in 1973. “I would give anything to have Thanksgiving with my own father,” she said fighting back tears. “He did not live to walk me down the aisle, meet my children or have me make Thanksgiving dinner for him.” Her father, Arnold E. Fallon, was a U.S. Marine veteran and pharmacist who she said made Thanksgiving a special occasion for many years. Article continues after... Cross|Word Flipart Typeshift SpellTower Really Bad Chess Reed said those in her family’s social circle have always had more to talk about than politics and they simply pass the time with lively conversation and witty exchanges. In fact, she recalled a time when there was a Democrat, a Republican, a Libertarian and an Independent in her four-member immediate family “and it was never a problem.” Athol resident Susannah Whipps said she hosts Thanksgiving for about a dozen family members in the house once owned by her parents, who have died. “I feel the responsibility of having a homebase still for family members. We’ve got family members along a wide spectrum of political ideologies and have different feelings about the election,” she said, adding that, to avoid having awkward breaks in conversation, she has asked her guests to brainstorm and share funny or moving stories about her parents and grandparents. “You can put the battles aside.” Whipps knows a thing or two about seeing all sides of a political debate, as she is the only unenrolled member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives. Originally a Republican, she left the party in 2017 because nearly two-thirds of her constituents are unaffiliated with a major political party and she wanted to put people over politics. A classically trained chef with a degree from Johnson & Wales University, she said the only heated debate allowed at her Thanksgiving table is whether her guests prefer canned cranberry sauce over her homemade chutney. Whipps will be sworn in for her sixth term in January. David Lewis, chair of the Greenfield Republican Town Committee, said he and a friend plan to attend the Thanksgiving meal at Living Waters Assembly of God at 450 Davis St. in Greenfield. He said the meal is offered to the entire community and he is certain there are guests every year with differing opinions, and politics is never dredged up. “I think, just don’t even talk about it. It’s over. It’s done with, the election. And we all have to move on to the next thing,” he said. Lewis mentioned he has lived at The Weldon apartments in Greenfield for 18 years, and he and his neighbors with different political affiliations meet for a coffee hour every Wednesday. He said politics come up commonly but there is never any disdain or resentment. “We just agree to disagree,” Lewis said. “We don’t throw things or get violent.” Greenfield resident Sandra Boston said her Thanksgiving guests will consist of people who share her progressive values, but she would still prefer politics take a rest. “First of all, be much more interested in asking what’s going on in their life rather than who they voted for,” she said. Boston advised that people should tread lightly if they broach the subject of politics and always remember that young children “will pick up on the energy” if the environment becomes inhospitable. She mentioned her oldest son is a Trump supporter living in Virginia and though they seldom see eye-to-eye, their email exchanges remain kind and affectionate. “We always end it with, ‘I love you,’” she said. Boston mentioned she belongs to a local chapter of Braver Angels, a citizens’ organization aimed at depolarizing American political culture by fostering conversation between liberals and conservatives. The Greenfield group has met at the Greenfield Public Library once a month since 2017. “It’s the only place in my daily life where I sit down with someone of the other political persuasion for an hour and a half and listen. The point of it is to ask questions in order to understand. You know, ‘Tell me more about why you see it that way,’” she said. “We’re not here to change anybody’s minds — we’re here to understand.” Boston mentioned she is a teacher of communication skills, offering eight-week classes in conscious communication. “Don’t try to change anybody’s mind. The point of being family and seeking unity is being able to hold the difference. Have respect for the person even if we don’t have respect for the opinion,” she said. “People don’t want to keep talking to you if you try to tell them they’re wrong.” The Poynter Institute, a global nonprofit, published an article about how to avoid political arguments at Thanksgiving.

The marketing strategy for the "Fight Fight Fight" fragrance line has been equally bold and impactful. Trump's team has launched a series of high-energy commercials and social media campaigns, showcasing the fragrances as a must-have accessory for individuals seeking to channel their inner warrior spirit. The tagline, "Unleash Your Inner Champion," has resonated with consumers who are drawn to the idea of embodying a victorious mindset in their everyday lives.The incident took place at a popular bathhouse in the bustling city of Zhengzhou. Several customers started experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and headaches shortly after entering the facility. Concerned about their well-being, they immediately sought medical attention.
MONTREAL — Quebec Premier François Legault says he’s “open” to the possibility of adopting a Quebec constitution before the next provincial election. His comments follow the publication of a report on Tuesday recommending several steps the province could take to boost its autonomy, including drafting its own constitution. The report was delivered by a committee Legault appointed in June to study the province's rights and enhance its powers within the federation, in what many saw as a bid to please his nationalist base. His Coalition Avenir Québec government has lagged in the polls behind the sovereigntist Parti Québécois for more than a year. Still, it’s unclear how many of the report’s 42 recommendations the government might adopt, especially since several of them would require negotiations with the federal government. Asked by reporters in Quebec City on Wednesday if he’s prepared to draft a constitution before going to the polls in October 2026, Legault said he was “open to it.” Justice Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette has been more circumspect, saying the government will study the committee’s recommendations in the coming weeks. Émilie Foster, an adjunct professor of political management at Carleton University and former CAQ member of the legislature, said she believes the Quebec government will adopt a constitution before the next election. “At a time when Donald Trump has been elected in the United States and there is a wind of conservatism blowing across the rest of Canada that is different from Quebec, I think it could be a symbolic element of unity in relation to our values,” she said in an interview. But Foster added there would likely be disagreement over the committee’s suggestion that the constitution should include the province’s controversial secularism law, known as Bill 21. The Opposition Liberals passed a motion in favour of a Quebec constitution at their convention earlier this month. They say their constitution would enshrine the rights of the province’s English-speaking minority. Charles Breton, executive director of the Centre of Excellence on the Canadian Federation, said the government could adopt a constitution just like any other bill. But if it’s to have real weight, he said, it should involve consultation with Quebecers. “It’s not a bad recommendation, but it’s a difficult, complicated process,” he said. “And so because of that, I don’t think that this is something that’s going to happen soonish.” The committee proposed several other steps Quebec could take to strengthen its autonomy, including modernizing its laws to remove all reference to the monarchy. But many of the recommendations would involve negotiations with the federal government and some would require changes to the Canadian Constitution. For example, the committee suggests Ottawa should be required to appoint Quebec judges from recommendations provided by the province, and that Quebec should be able to recommend its own lieutenant-governor. The report also says Quebec should negotiate an agreement with the federal government over the proportion of asylum seekers to be housed in the province. Foster said the current Liberal government is unlikely to be interested in those discussions, and that Legault may wait for the outcome of the next federal election. “With the Conservatives, who have a less centralized tradition, maybe there would be more openness for certain proposals from Quebec,” she said. When Legault announced the committee in June, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dismissed it as an attempt to shore up political support. “I know Mr. Legault is under a fair bit of pressure from the PQ right now,” Trudeau told reporters at the time. “There’s nothing inherently threatening about a province deciding to look at ways of improving our democracy.” Breton said the recommendations involving negotiations with Ottawa are probably a non-starter. “I don’t think Ottawa is going to say, ‘Yeah, sure, you’re going to select judges now,’” he said. “I don’t think, whether it’s this government or the next one, they’ll be interested in entering into those discussions.” But he said Quebec should act on the committee’s recommendation for increased engagement with the other provinces, though he said Legault’s government likely won’t. “For a while, Quebec hasn’t really played a leadership role in terms of reforming the federation. It’s been mostly focused inwards,” he said. “And that’s a shame, because I think there would be a big role for them to play there.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 27, 2024.

"Delete CFPB," Musk wrote on X early Wednesday of the . "There are too many duplicative regulatory agencies." Musk, along with , has been tasked with heading up the Trump-created , or DOGE, and finding ways to reduce spending and streamline bureaucracy within the federal government. The unofficial advisors have floated , laying off staff, and . When reached for comment, a spokesperson for Trump's transition team said she had nothing to add to Musk's statement. While it's unclear how DOGE and the incoming Trump Administration would abolish agencies, if it does, the CFPB could be on the chopping block. Here's a look at its purpose, employee makeup, and political controversies. The CFPB was created by Congress as part of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act. The law aimed to strengthen oversight of Wall Street after its risky mortgage lending practices caused the global financial crisis. The CFPB has a broad mandate to protect Americans from deceptive or abusive practices by US financial firms. The agency investigates consumer complaints related to credit cards, loans, bank accounts, and debt collection and enforces consumer protection laws. Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a professor at Harvard Law School, originally proposed the agency in 2007. In 2010, President Barack Obama appointed Warren to head the CFPB's steering committee to help establish it. "The time for hiding tricks and traps in the fine print is over," Warren said that year. "This new bureau is based on the simple idea that if the playing field is level and families can see what's going on, they will have better tools to make better choices." As of March 2024, the just under 1,700 people, earning an average of about $184,000 a year, according to the Office of Personnel Management. The broke that workforce into six groups; about 43% of CFPB's employees work in the supervision and enforcement of financial institutions, 18% in operations supporting the Bureau's other initiatives, and 14% in research, monitoring, and regulations. Since its founding, the CFPB for consumers through direct compensation, canceled debt, and reduced loan principals. The agency has also issued $5 billion in civil penalties against banks, credit unions, debt collectors, payday lenders, for-profit colleges, and other financial services companies. That money is deposited into a victims' relief fund, with nearly 200 million people eligible for relief. Some of CFPB's most high-profile enforcement actions have been against Bank of America and Wells Fargo. The agency of harming hundreds of thousands of customers by charging illegal fees, withholding credit card cash and reward points, and enrolling them in credit card accounts without their knowledge. Bank of America agreed to pay $250 million. In 2022, Wells Fargo — a record sum — after a CFPB investigation alleged the bank mismanaged auto loans, mortgages, and deposit accounts, causing some customers to lose their vehicles and homes. Last week, the agency finalized a rule like Apple, Google, and Venmo, which offer digital wallets and payment apps and process some 13 billion transactions a year. Earlier this year, the CFPB also limited to $8 a month, compared to the average $32 fee charged by issuers in 2022. Democrats designed the CFPB to have political independence by funding it through the Federal Reserve rather than While Democrats argue that the CFPB's independence is crucial to its efficacy, Republicans say the agency's funding source and governing structure make it and encourage regulatory overreach. Since its founding, the CFPB has faced legal challenges from Republicans and the banking industry, who've taken issue with a slew of agency policies, including those regulating and those making it easier for consumers to . In May 2024, the Supreme Court rejected a constitutional challenge to the agency's funding structure, reversing a lower court decision in a 7-2 ruling. The high court's decision — authored by Justice Clarence Thomas, a conservative — has bolstered the agency but likely won't shield it from ongoing criticism and legal attacks. Not everything the agency does has courted controversy. Recently, the agency won for a new rule that would allow consumers to have more control over how their financial data is used by banks and other financial firms.

One day before Texas and Georgia face off in the Southeastern Conference championship game, the Longhorns earned a surprising victory over the Bulldogs on the recruiting trail. Justus Terry, a defensive lineman from Manchester, Georgia, announced Friday he would be leaving his home state to play for Texas next year. Terry, who also was considering Georgia and Auburn, had been the nation’s top remaining uncommitted 2025 prospect. The addition of Terry gives Texas the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class, according to composite rankings of recruiting sites compiled by 247Sports. “We’re super pumped about this recruiting class,” Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said Thursday, before Terry had announced his decision. “This is a very talented group of players that I think not only fit the physical characteristics of what we’re looking for by position in our program, but I think meet the character and are going to fit nicely into our culture.” Although there will be an additional signing period in February, 247Sports officials said Texas should maintain its No. 1 standing. The overwhelming majority of Power Four recruits already finalized their college plans this week. The top 11 classes as of Friday afternoon include eight Southeastern Conference schools and three Big Ten programs. Alabama is second, with Georgia third, Oregon fourth and Ohio State fifth. Auburn, LSU, Texas A&M, Michigan and Tennessee round out the top 10. Florida is 11th. The highest-rated recruiting classes outside the SEC and Big Ten are Notre Dame at No. 12 and Miami at No. 14. Terry is the nation’s No. 2 defensive lineman and No. 10 overall prospect, according to the 247Sports Composite. His decision gives Texas nine of the 247Sports Composite’s top 66 prospects. Texas’ other recruits rated 66th or better include safety Jonah Williams (No. 8), wide receivers Kaliq Lockett (No. 22) and Jamie Ffrench (No. 32), defensive lineman Lance Jackson (No. 25), all-purpose athlete Michael Terry III (No. 43), cornerbacks Kade Phillips (No. 54) and Graceson Littleton (No. 65), and linebacker Elijah Barnes (No. 66). “I think it’s a really versatile class with a variety of positions, highlighted by high-level players,” Sarkisian said. “As always, we really pride ourselves on recruiting the high school ranks. We think when we can get players in here young, then immerse them into our culture, into our off-season conditioning program, develop them as we go throughout their career, that’s when we really reap the benefits of having these guys in our program. This class is no different.” With the early signing period concluding Friday, the focus on college roster construction now turns to transfers. The transfer portal window officially opens Monday, though numerous college players already went to social media this week to announce their intentions to transfer. The early signing period was moved up a few weeks this year so that high school seniors could get their decisions out of the way before the opening of the transfer portal window. This marked the first signing period since the demise of the national letters of intent that prospects had sent in the past after signing with their respective schools. Athletes now are signing their names to a financial aid agreement that can include name, image and likeness agreements along with the standard tuition and room and board details.

Section 1.10.32 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum", written by Cicero in 45 BC "Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt. Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem. Ut enim ad minima veniam, quis nostrum exercitationem ullam corporis suscipit laboriosam, nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequatur? Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit qui in ea voluptate velit esse quam nihil molestiae consequatur, vel illum qui dolorem eum fugiat quo voluptas nulla pariatur?" 1914 translation by H. Rackham "But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?" 1914 translation by H.
