Will Utah State or Boise State forfeit vs. San Jose State in the Mountain West semifinals?The Prime Minister has now cut the price of his investment property twice. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been snared in an inner west real estate crunch that may explain why he has had to slash about $150,000 off the price of an investment property up for sale. The three-bedroom home in Dulwich Hill was first listed in August with a price guide of about $1.9m. The auction scheduled for October was later called off and the price guide for the three-bedroom home dropped to $1.85m. Last week, the price dropped to $1.75m . Mr Albanese’s investment, which he snapped up in 2015 for $1,175m, remains up for sale after the two price drops. MORE: Bold moves that got Albo $8.8m property empire MORE: Former Prime Minister’s home now worth $150m The Prime Minister is selling the home amid settlement of a luxury Copacabana house he bought in September with partner Jodie Hayson for $4.3m. That home is now being offered for rent at $1,900 a week. But new figures indicate the Labor leader may have inadvertently timed the sale of his Dulwich Hill property poorly, listing it just as the inner west market took a turn for the worse. It’s now one of the weakest property markets in the country outside of Victoria, with home prices falling by an average of 1.2 per cent in the three months to November, according to PropTrack. Such a drop, measured against median prices in many areas (houses in much of the region cost over $2.5m) slashed tens of thousands off real estate values.

Picture: Max Mason-Hubers MORE: Russell Crowe’s $42m home for sale It was also a sharp turn from earlier this year when prices in the inner west were rising sharply. And there could be more falls on the way, with modelling by research SQM Research indicating prices across Sydney could drop by 1-5 per cent next year due to affordability constraints and delays in interest rate cuts. Changing fortunes for inner west sellers have followed a considerable increase in the volume of housing available for sale – most of which has been other landlord owned properties. “The market has turned on a dime,” said auctioneer Chris Scerri, who has called sales across much of the inner west this spring. Anthony Albanese recently bought a clifftop home on The Central Coast for $4.3 million. MORE: Countries that will pay you $140k to move there “Buyers have become a lot more cautious because of moves from the Reserve Bank ... the market has come back a lot in the inner west. It’s unusual for that (area).” Local agents told The Daily Telegraph many of the vendors who listed over recent months published guides based on the sale from earlier this year when the market was a lot stronger. And this meant it was common for new properties to hit the market with price expectations a lot higher than the buyer market was willing to pay. Adrian William director Adrian Tsavalas, commenting on the market generally, said most properties attracted four to five strong buyers earlier this year but this whittled down to just one, or sometimes zero, interest for properties listed over the spring. Mr Tsavalas said buyers were reluctant to move on inner west listings unless they “saw value”. MORE: Isla Fisher’s $1m post-divorce win The interior of the Dulwich Hill home up for sale. Mr Albanese’s sale has coincided with a change in the real estate market. Picture: Wagner Meier/Getty Images “Listings increased but there wasn’t the same increase in buyers so buyers were really spoiled for choice,” Mr Tsavalas said. He said it was normal in the current sale climate across the region for vendors to have to adjust their initial price expectations downward on account of softer demand. There was a silver lining for vendors like Mr Albanese, he added. “Stock is beginning to dry up again and there are still a few buyers trying to get something before (Christmas).”Continuously optimize user experience, Baijiayun's live and on-demand products complete autumn upgrade

Brazil president ‘stable’ after emergency surgeryPer the NFL transaction wire, the Seahawks claimed DB A.J. Finley off waivers from the Chargers. To make room, DE Myles Adams was waived. Seattle also released RB Brittain Brown and DB Faion Hicks from their practice squad and signed DB Ryan Cooper and WR Cornell Powell . Adams, 26, wound up going undrafted out of Rice back in April of 2021. He later signed a rookie contract with the Panthers, but was waived coming out of training camp. After a brief stint on the Panthers’ practice squad, the Seahawks signed Adams to their taxi squad in December 2021 only to release him a few weeks later. Seattle signed him in January of 2021. He’s re-signed on three consecutive one-year deals. In 2024, Adams has appeared in three games for the Seahawks and recorded three total tackles.

2024 saw politics, culture, and the overlap between them grow ever stranger, and that’s reflected in our picks for the year’s top video essays. Videos about artificial intelligence, abuses of authority, mass hysteria, weird corporate trends (and weirder corporate collapses) fill out these ranks. Lest that make this year’s list sound like too much of a downer, know that most of these works are also supremely fun. It has now been six years since I first did a piece like this for Polygon . In that time, I’ve seen a lot of novice video makers become pros, the pros refine their craft to increasingly fascinating ends, and more and more promising new talent arise. I think this ranking reflects all those strands. On making this list: With this style of video continuing to grow in popularity, one way I’ve made keeping up with things manageable for the purposes of articles like this is abiding by stricter, more traditional parameters for what “counts” as a video essay. If there’s a notable video from 2024 that’s not present here, it may be because, as great as it was, it strayed too far from that definition. Additionally, each year, I’m conscious of trying to keep things fresh by not including too many essays from creators honored in earlier iterations. This time around, I decided to take it a step further by imposing a firm prohibition against including work by anyone who’s already appeared in these annual roundups more than once. Apologies, then, to consistently great essayists like Yhara Zayd and Jacob Geller . Finally, I will admit that I cheated last year by using double features and honorable mentions to include 15 videos in the “top 10”; I was more disciplined this time around. As always, these videos are presented in order of publishing date. ‘third places, stanley cup mania, and the epidemic of loneliness’ by Mina Le Mina Le has become one of my go-to resources for keeping up with and comprehending the vast ecosystem of online commerce, influencers, style, fads, and how these elements all feed into and off one another. The title of this video seemingly name-checks three distinct things. Le argues persuasively that viral shopping crazes like the one around Stanley bottles early this year are partly a way for people to feel a sense of belonging in an increasingly atomized and alienated society — even if they can only realize this feeling through consumption. ‘The Rhythms of Rage: from Solitude to Solidarity’ by Barbara Zecchi The shortest video on this year’s list is also its most formally inventive. Zecchi has constructed a collage of scenes from film and television that capture moments of female rage. But rather than a supercut, the shots are presented through a continually expanding (spiraling outward, in fact, which feels appropriate, given the subject matter) grid pattern. The essay ultimately transitions from these shots of isolated figures to ones of masses of women working together, illustrating the progression from individual grievance to collective action. ‘The Future Is Going To Be Weird AF (The Ultimate AI CoreCore Experience) - Part Two’ by Silvia Dal Dosso This is a sequel to an experiment Dal Dosso released last year. For the uninitiated, “corecore” is a nebulous emergent genre of social media videos that can perhaps most succinctly be summed up as assemblages of melancholy vibes — ambient music, dark footage, countless shots of Ryan Gosling in Blade Runner 2049 , etc. Dal Dosso strives for an especially pure corecore (corecore... core?) experience by juxtaposing unreal-seeming moments from the news and socials with actually unreal AI-generated images. It’s both a tribute to and a parody of the work of Adam Curtis, replete with an AI Curtis narrating. It’s one of the few genuinely artistic uses of the technology I’ve seen. ‘REFORM!’ by Secret Base Secret Base launched a Patreon this year with the most welcome news possible: the resurrection of Jon Bois’ long-dormant, deeply beloved series Pretty Good . (Catch up with this episode about Lawnchair Larry , this one about an epic bodybuilder forum argument , and this one about 24 .) Appropriately for an election year, Bois created a holistic three-part look at the brief life and embarrassing times of the Reform Party. In the backbiting and wheeling/dealing between the likes of Ross Perot, Jesse Ventura, and Pat Buchanan, the essay draws out the broader challenges of trying to disrupt the entrenched political system of the United States. Power by Yance Ford, et al . For a change of pace, here’s a film that appeared in festivals and theaters before becoming available via Netflix this year. Director Yance Ford is best known for his highly personal 2017 debut Strong Island , for which he became the first openly trans man to be nominated for an Oscar. He’s come back to feature filmmaking with this critical look at the evolution of policing as an institution in the United States. Wielding archival materials to devastating comparisons between past and present, Ford tracks an unmistakable surge of authoritarianism in America. ‘The History of Tetris World Records’ by Summoning Salt Tetris is one of the greatest works of art (video game or otherwise) made in the past 50 years because of how its initial simplicity opens up to infinite possible variations. A similarly expansive competitive community has built up around the game. It’s Tetris ; how much could there possibly be to getting good at it? There’s no better YouTuber to answer this question than Summoning Salt, the Ken Burns of speedrunning. This video gets you fully invested in these escalating struggles of one-upmanship, making people looking at screens and their investment in falling blocks and numbers going up extraordinarily compelling. The result is that one of the most exciting things I’ve seen in any film this year is a simple left-to-right tracking shot of a chart. ‘The Spectacular Failure of the Star Wars Hotel’ by Jenny Nicholson Jenny Nicholson’s work might seem more vloggy than essayistic, but that’s only if you aren’t paying attention. There are plenty of YouTubers who do nothing but talk to a camera at length, but people aren’t watching the entirety of this four-hour video just to get the nitty-gritty on Disney World’s short-lived, now-shuttered immersive Star Wars-themed hotel. Nicholson has an uncanny gift for making highly structured arguments and narratives feel informal and off the cuff. She has also probably forgotten more about theme park history, design, and logistics than most of us ever learn. This is one of the most impactful YouTube videos released this year, garnering news attention and reviving widespread discussion about Disney’s questionable business practices. ‘Sticky’ by Maria Hofmann Each year, the streaming service Mubi and the Filmadrid film festival collaborate to release a series of video essays. By far the standout in 2024 was Maria Hofmann’s “desktop horror documentary,” which uncannily replicates the way that simply existing online in the modern day can expose you to a constant stream of awful imagery. Different desktop windows — one for email, one for research, one displaying sobering news on the Mediterranean migrant crisis — shuffle about the screen, illustrating how much of modern life is compartmentalizing atrocity to the point where it becomes routine. In 2024, this feels especially apt. ‘The Narcissist Scare’ by Sarah Z Life in 2024 also means that seemingly every other week, you learn about an alleged disturbing trend or stack of how-to tips that turns out to have originated from a lot of gullible and/or grifty people playing a game of telephone over social media. It is disquieting to see, in a supposedly technologically enlightened age, how much sites like Instagram and TikTok facilitate and perpetuate almost primal superstitious thought. Sarah Z (like Nicholson, a strong practitioner of direct YouTube address) traces the junk science and fraudulent dime-store psychology seen in the myriad videos about the dangers of “narcissists” and traces them back not just to our petty need to find excuses to demonize others, but also to a literal belief in demons and spiritual warfare. Modernity is very odd, and I am frequently tired. ‘Hag Horror: Why Are We So Afraid of Old Women?’ by Broey Deschanel The Substance was one of the big lower-budget success stories and a notable engine of controversy in film this year, the latter due both to its grossness and to its ideas about womanhood, fame, and body image. Maia Wyman puts the movie in the historical context of body horror and “hagsploitation,” and how the duel between Demi Moore’s and Margaret Qualley’s characters acts out the broader cultural terror of aging and decay.

No matter which way you slice it, ( ) shares have had a phenomenal 12-month run. Shares in the (ASX: XJO) stock edged lower yesterday to close the day trading for $156.24 a share. That's seen shares in Australia's biggest bank rise 50.6% since this time last year when they were trading for $103.70 apiece. And it smashes the very respectable 17.6% gains posted by the ASX 200 over this same period. And this strong run doesn't even include the $4.65 a share in fully franked eligible stockholders will have received over the year. If we add those back in, the accumulated value of CBA shares has gained a whopping 55.0%. Again, that's well more than twice the 21.9% gains posted by the (ASX: XJT), which incorporates all cash dividends reinvested on the date. With these figures in mind, CBA has clearly been a losing proposition of late. But that's not dissuading Regal Partners chief stock picker Phil King, whose fund is sticking to its short position. King revealed his fund's short position on CBA shares to back on 18 June. At the time, he noted that the ASX 200 bank stock was being supported by the rising flow of passive money from funds. "There's a real bubble in passive investing at the moment, and as one of the largest stocks in the Aussie index, CBA is one of the biggest beneficiaries of that," King said. However, Regal had taken a short position on the stock with an eye on increasing capital requirements in the banking sector and fierce competition. King believes this will take a bite out of future earnings for many Aussie banks. In June, he noted: Over the next few years, I think earnings will disappoint and soften slightly. Buy now, pay later operators are taking share in consumer lending, non-bank lenders are taking share in business lending and private credit are making inroads across the entire loan book. Now CBA shares have gained 22% since 18 June as well as delivering a $2.50 a share final dividend payout on 27 September. But last month, King told investors he was to his short position. According to King (quoted by the AFR): We're very happy to be short CBA. CBA performed very well over 20 years as earnings grew strongly, but over the last 10 years or so earnings have gone nowhere, and more recently, they've started to fall.For Ravens, facing Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers will be ‘like playing the L.A. Ravens’CHANGSHA, China , Dec. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Modern China's rural revitalization strategy is crafting a remarkable narrative of transformation across the countryside, while progressive opening-up policies encourage foreign visitors to delve deeper into the nation's heartland. On December 26th , VOC.com.cn premiered the second season of its acclaimed series, I Am in Rural China. The show follows Teona Kvartskhava, an international guest, as she explores the villages of Hunan Province , offering viewers a firsthand look at the dynamic implementation of comprehensive rural revitalization. This captivating series invites a global audience to witness the dawn of a new era in China's rural landscapes, showcasing the country's evolving countryside to viewers worldwide. Rice field came as the first surprise. Hunan is the largest rice grower and producer in China . Hunan provides the high-quality and tasty rice. Teona Kvartskhava, a foreigner hardly feeding on rice, was tempted to have plenty of it. In Qunle Village, Lixian County, Changde, she also experienced "Double Rush", which is a time-honored agricultural event in China . An event that used to call for the joint efforts of all family members, has now become much easier thanks to technology. Departing from Lixian County for the moment, Teona Kvartskhava embarked on an exciting trip of tastes in Rucheng, Chenzhou , Southern Hunan . Hunan people are keen and expert on peppery food and spicy taste dominates the Hunan cuisine. Hunan is also rich in varieties of peppers. Jingpo town, a well-known town where spicy food prevails. It is a producer of red cluster pepper, officially one of the hottest peppers in China . From the crowded market, to the red and yellow pepper planting base, and then to the modern processing pepper workshop, the small cluster pepper strung up all corners of the town, so that the original ordinary mountain town has become extraordinarily lively and affluent. Of course, the "star" of the countryside here is not only agriculture, but also culture, which has also blossomed in this ancient land. As the birthplace of papermaking, China has preserved a unique handmade papermaking technique, which is used to make some "special" papers. In Shanghong Village, Liuyang, Teona Kvartskhava was lucky to meet two Chinese masters, who showed her hands-on experiences of "Gushan Tribute Paper" and "Floral Paper". As the process progresses, the paper took shape in her hands, as if history and culture were meeting in front of her eyes, and became the "first paper" in Teona Kvartskhava's life. So,What's rural China like? It's about hospitable peasants, about various agricultural produce, about profound history and culture, about colorful intangible cultural heritage. It's like a book telling numerous absorbing stories. Hopefully Teona Kvartskhava'll be luckier to visit more villages for their unique interest and charm.

Home sellers in a string of popular sea- and tree-change towns are discounting pandemic boom-time price expectations to get a deal done, new data reveals. Buyers can expect to pay about 4 to 6 per cent less than the original listing price as fewer city dwellers move to the regions and homes listed for sale pile up. Byron Bay tops the list in NSW with a median discount of 6.7 per cent in the year to October, according to the latest CoreLogic Regional Market Update. It is followed by Kempsey and Ulladulla, which both had a median discount of 5.8 per cent in the same period. In Victoria, Gisborne had the highest median discount of 5.8 per cent in the same period, followed by Portland, which had a median discount of 5.5 per cent. It comes as most of these areas recorded a notable increase in homes listed for sale and their days on market blowout. CoreLogic Australia economist and report author Kaytlin Ezzy said vendor discounting pointed to a market in favour of buyers. “It means there’s more supply. That means there’s more choice out there for buyers,” Ezzy said. “They don’t have to compete with other buyers for that property, and instead it’s the vendor who is competing for that buyer and therefore has to be willing to negotiate.” She said most of these towns have stronger discounting than during lockdowns due to fewer buyers in regional areas. “Generally not as many people are moving to the regions. So as homes are listed they’re not being as easily absorbed by the market,” Ezzy said. “That means stock has been able to accumulate and puts downward pressure on values and vendors have to compete more and be negotiable. “Byron Bay has about 17 per cent more listings in October than what we usually see this time of year and Gisborne is about 45 per cent above what we usually see.” KPMG regional economist Terry Rawnsley said not only were there fewer buyers, but those remaining had reduced purchasing power, which was putting downward pressure on prices. “Byron Bay is probably a good case study. During COVID lockdowns, people shifted to Byron – they were happy to pay a premium to secure a property,” Rawnsley said. “Then in the last two years, the return to the office and higher interest rates have hampered buyers. It’s reduced the pool of people looking to move to a regional location. Vendors have to offer a bit of a discount to meet the market.” He said many of the Victorian regional towns at lower price points were discounting because they were first home buyers’ markets, feeling the pinch from higher interest rates the most. “[Gisborne’s] probably a dual market. It’s acreage living in that part of the world and there’s also people searching for affordable housing. It’s got both ends of that market feeling the pinch,” Rawnsley said. Ray White Byron Bay’s Damien Smith said sellers in his region had unrealistic boom-time expectations of the lockdown years. “If anyone bought in the past three years, they’re trying to get that ‘let’s get our money back’ price rather than market price,” Smith said. “They’ve all got in their head what they’ve paid for it, and it’s a lot more than what it’s worth.” “There are fewer buyers. If you’re borrowing money, especially entry-level, it’s a lot of money. “The ratio [of capital city and local buyers] is still similar, but the volume is not there. The buyer pool has thinned out. It’s definitely reduced.” Connect Real Estate’s Helen Sankey said it was very much a buyer’s market in the Gisborne area. “We’re the first regional town out of metropolitan Melbourne. So post-COVID obviously that demand backed off, and then it was exacerbated by the increase in interest rates,” Sankey said. “It’s very much a buyer’s market and since April 2022, it’s had a huge adjustment.” Sankey said there were more homes than buyers, which was hurting sellers with strong expectations. “If it’s priced right, the houses will move quickly. If it is deemed high, then it sits on the market – the days on market is extended out,” she said. She said while there was not a lot of distressed selling among owner occupiers, it was investors who were most affected by the weaker conditions in the market. “But investors, with the increase in land tax, are the people who are most distressed. The disparity between rental income and mortgage repayments plus the increased land tax there is no cream off the top left.”Andrej Jakimovski hit a layup with 8 seconds left, and Colorado upset No. 2 UConn 73-72 in the consolation bracket of the Maui Invitational on Tuesday in Lahaina, Hawaii. Colorado (5-1) rallied from down 11 in the first half to get the win over the two-time defending national champions Huskies. Jakimovski finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds and Julian Hammond III and Elijah Malone each scored 16 for the Buffaloes, who advanced to the fifth-place game in Maui on Wednesday. Down 72-71, Jakimovski drove the right side of the lane and made a scoop shot as he was falling down. UConn called timeout to set up the final play but Hassan Diarra missed a 3-pointer with 2 seconds left. Liam McNeeley led UConn with 20 points, Solo Ball scored 16 and Diarra finished with 11. The Huskies (4-2) lost two straight for the first time since dropping three in a row from Jan. 11-18, 2023. Colorado trailed by eight at halftime and Diarra hit two 3-pointers early in the second half that made it 46-37. The Buffaloes scored the next 11 points to take a 48-46 lead, their first of the game. Hammond bookended that run with a pair of triples. UConn went back in front 55-52 on Tarris Reed Jr.'s driving layup but Malone's bucket with 8:34 left tied it at 59. McNeeley's hook shot gave the Huskies a 63-60 lead before Jakimovski drained a 3-pointer to tie it again with 5:16 left. Ball hit a 3-pointer and a layup to give UConn a five-point lead but Colorado got within 70-69 on two free throws by Malone with 2:04 left. A putback from Jaylin Stewart made it a three-point game with 1:29 remaining. Malone answered with a layup, Javon Ruffin blocked Diarra's shot and Colorado got an offensive rebound with 24 seconds left to set up the winning basket. McNeeley made his first four shots from deep and had 16 points by intermission to lead the Huskies. Colorado had opportunities to make it a close game by halftime but went just 12-for-19 from the foul line and trailed 40-32. UConn attempted only four free throws in the first half and had five players with two or more fouls, including Reed, who had three. --Field Level Media
