GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — A police officer responding to a report of a man with a gun inside a North Carolina supermarket was fatally shot Monday and a suspect was later taken into custody, authorities said. Police announced the death of Greensboro police officer Michael Horan at a news conference, saying Horan was responding to the report when he was shot shortly before midday at a Food Lion store in Greensboro in the central part of the state. Ramona Miller told WGHP-TV she was shopping with her 6-year-old granddaughter when she heard shots being fired. “We were on our way out and I was purchasing a lottery ticket and I was just sitting there and heard a ‘pop-pop’ and then ‘pop-pop-pop.’ I think I heard five shots,” Miller said. “At first I didn’t know it was a shooting ... but an employee yelled out, ‘Shooting! Shooting!’ ” Miller said she and her granddaughter left the store and that police arrived soon afterward. Authorities said Monday afternoon that the circumstances of the shooting remain under investigation and they did not immediately release further details about how it unfolded. The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, the state's lead law enforcement agency, is continuing the investigation. Horan was hired in 2017 and became a sworn Greensboro Police Department officer in early 2018, Assistant Police Chief Milford J. Harris said. Horan served in the department’s patrol bureau. He also was a U.S. Coast Guard member since 2000, according to his LinkedIn profile. “He was an excellent officer. He had an outstanding reputation inside the department and in the community,” Harris said at the news conference. Gov. Roy Cooper said he was monitoring the day's developments. Cooper said on the social media platform X that his office had sent a “significant” number of state law enforcement officers to aid the emergency response in Greensboro. A heavy police presence was spotted outside the grocery store in Greensboro. The store will remain closed while authorities continue their investigation, Food Lion said in a statement, adding it was providing resources to its affected workers. It directed all questions to local law enforcement and said it was cooperating with the investigation. The shooting was another reminder that state lawmakers should strengthen resources and improve safety for law enforcement officers, said Democratic state Sen. Michael Garrett, who represents part of Guilford County where Greensboro is located. “During what should be a time of joy and celebration, another brave officer has been shot in the line of duty. Another family’s holiday season forever changed,” Garrett said in a Facebook statement.A Closer Look at Super Micro Computer's Options Market Dynamics

Edge rusher Joe Tryon-Shoyinka has been downgraded to out and did not travel with the team to Charlotte. Quarterback Michael Pratt is being elevated from the practice squad on a temporary basis. Tryon-Shoyinka injured his ankle during last Sunday’s win over the Giants. He has 18 tackles, two sacks, and a forced fumble while starting all 11 games for the Bucs this season. Pratt is being called up from the practice squad for the second time. He cannot serve as the emergency third quarterback, so he will have to be active in order to have any chance of appearing in his first NFL regular season game.

Erik Pratt scores 20 as Milwaukee defeats North Central College 92-57Cooking can be an exercise in managed chaos, and that managed chaos can be intimidating. That’s why so many people are reluctant to cook in their own kitchens (if they even have the energy to try)—there’s even a diagnosable fear called mageirocophobia that describes a fear of cooking. It’s easy to see why—kitchens are messy , the gear in them (even in basic kitchen setups ) can seem complicated if no one ever taught you how to use it, and it’s possible to mess up even the simplest recipes . The end result is a kitchen that feels like a war zone, and every meal an uphill climb against time, missing ingredients, and the din of fire alarms going off. You can reduce that chaos by borrowing some tricks of the trade from professional kitchens. You don’t necessarily need how to handle a knife like a chef or know what a mother sauce is—but there are a few simple lessons you can take from the way restaurants run their kitchens and apply to your humble cooking spot. Practice mise en place This is probably the most useful concept you can take from a professional kitchen and use in your own. Mise en place is a French term translating to “putting in place,” and in a kitchen it means having everything prepped and within reach. That means having all the ingredients measured, cut, and properly prepped (e.g., thawed), then arranged in the order you’ll need them but with everything within easy reach. Practicing mise en place offers a ton of benefits: You’ll know if you’re missing anything you’re going to need before you start cooking, and having everything prepped properly reduces anxiety because if something goes wrong in the prep stage, you can just reset and do it over without worrying about ruining an entire meal. And, of course, during the actual cooking, if you have everything right there, organized and ready to go, it will make cooking a lot less stressful. Use deli containers If you’ve watched The Bear (or any TV show or movie set in a professional kitchen) you’ve probably noticed the deli containers everyone uses—both for ingredients and for drinking. There’s a reason these plastic buckets are so popular: They’re absolutely perfect for storing food. They’re light, stackable, airtight, every size uses the same lid (so you won’t go mad trying to find that one missing lid) and easily labeled. They’re also so cheap you don’t care if you lose a few here and there (you can buy a 36-pack for $22 ). If you want a similar storage solution that’s a little sturdier, you can use soup containers , which look the same but are more robust. Use these containers to hold prepped ingredients while cooking, and to store leftovers in the fridge or freezer. Even though they’re clear, label each one so you know what’s in it and when you stored it; this will help you avoid wasting food because you lost track of how long it’s been in there. Use a FIFO system If you cook a lot, you buy a lot of staples and basics. The professional kitchen concept that you need to steal is FIFO: First in, first out . It’s a simple concept: Organize your food items by expiration date. The stuff that will go bad soon goes in the front so it gets used, and the stuff that’s fresher goes in the back. This minimizes waste, because you won’t let things expire just because they were hidden in the back, and you won’t have multiple instances of an ingredient open and half-used. As an added bonus, organizing your pantry with the FIFO method means you’ll have a better sense of how often stuff goes bad before you use it, which can be useful for calibrating your grocery lists—and budget. This should also be applied to all those deli containers—whether they contain leftovers or unused ingredients, date them meticulously and store them in a FIFO arrangement to ensure you don’t waste anything unnecessarily. Get some squeeze bottles The humble squeeze bottle is great for more than just ketchup and mustard: It’s one of the best things you should transport from a pro kitchen into your own home. Squeeze bottles offer three main benefits: They make bulk buying easier. If you go through a lot of oil in your cooking, you probably buy enormous tubs of the stuff—and make a tremendous mess when you use it. Filling up a squeeze bottle periodically keeps things cleaner, and makes storing your ingredients easier because the bottles are a uniform size. They allow for better accuracy. Drizzling stuff in a pan or on a dish is an easy way to wind up with stuff all over your kitchen. Squeeze bottles allow for more control—instead of pouring and hoping you don’t splash, overpour, or suffer poor aim, you can use a precise number of squirts to get the coverage you need. They can contain bespoke stuff. If you use certain dressings repeatedly, loading up a squeeze bottle with your homemade mayo or salad dressing means you can deploy them any time a recipe—or your mood—calls for them. Squeeze bottles are also just a lot more fun to use than lugging a 64-oz container of olive oil to the pot on your stove. Buy in bulk and store the extra If you cook a lot, you know that there are basics that go into a wide range of recipes—stuff like stock, sauces, or diced veggies like onions or peppers. Instead of prepping these each and every time you cook, next time you’re making some for a single recipe, make a lot of it instead. Then portion out the leftovers into deli containers or freezer bags, label and date them, and toss them in the freezer. Next time you need a cup of diced onions, there they are, ready to go. Clean as you go If you’ve ever cooked a meal for a large group of people (or battled your way through a complicated and ambitious recipe) you know that feeling of doom when you gaze upon the destruction you have wrought on your kitchen. The microwave is covered in sauce, the stove looks like a strange buffet of various foods, the counters are covered in mystery powders, and the sink is so full of dirty dishes you briefly consider setting the house on fire and starting a new life. That’s why one of the best ideas you can borrow from a commercial kitchen is “ clean as you go .” It’s a simple concept: Clean up spills and other messes right away and put everything away once you’re done using it—food and spices go in the fridge or pantry, and used utensils, cookware, or empty containers go into the dishwasher, if you have one. It only takes a few seconds to do this, and cleaning up as you go not only reduces the work of cleaning up after dinner, it makes for a healthier cooking environment because you don’t have a sticky film over every single surface in your kitchen.

Sea-change and tree-change towns with deepest property price discountsHappy holidays to all those who celebrate, and if you don't, we still have a gift for you. Our latest R&B Season playlist update rounded up all the best genre-adjacent releases from this week for your convenience, and we have a massive one to start off with. SZA finally released her SOS Deluxe: LANA after months of teases and multiple delays, and fans loved the wealth of new material that's worth a whole new LP. It's got plenty of compelling highlights, such as a melancholy and ethereal electric guitar ballad on " Drive " and the more sensual, dreamy, and gentle " Diamond Boy (DTM) ." On the topic of sultry R&B, Jeremih decided to give this sound some unique, albeit seasonally corny changes on his new single, "Secret Santa." Other than singing about taking stockings off and all the gifts that he's going to give his partner, he fits the theme with light pianos, wintery chimes and bells, and even a slight drill swing to this record that surprised us on impact. All in all, it makes for a pretty unique Christmas song, even if it leans into its focus in a somewhat silly way. Read More: Top 10 Hottest R&B Albums Of 2024 Elsewhere on R&B Season , we have more classic approaches to highlight outside of this holiday time, such as Chase Shakur's snap-driven "FOCUS ON ME." In contrast to other vocal treatments on this playlist update, this cut's performance is more airy, breathy, and atmospheric, which pairs well with the synth pads and occasionally popping percussion. All of this makes for a hypnotizing song that prompts its own title, as some calming strings and electronic embellishments towards the end ascend this record into a higher plane. Finally on R&B Season , we'd be remiss not to mention this new Nao single, "All Of Me." Thanks to steady but trill trap drums, languid synthesizers, and more hushed and high-pitched vocal soars, this is the wooziest cut on this update. The East London musician doesn't take up too much space on the track, but when she does pop in, she's a perfect match. It's perfect to snuggle up for cold nights ahead of 2024's end.

( MENAFN - IANS) Seoul, Dec 23 (IANS) LG energy Solution Ltd (LGES), South Korea's leading battery maker, said on Monday it has reached an agreement with Qualcomm Technologies to jointly accelerate the commercialisation of system-on-chip-based battery management system (SoC-based BMS) diagnostic solutions. Under the agreement, LGES' new advanced BMS software will be made available on the Snapdragon Digital Chassis from Qualcomm. The BMS software will also integrate with the Snapdragon Car-to-Cloud Connected Services Platform, reports Yonhap news agency. The partnership builds on the companies' working relationship, where they announced earlier this year plans to develop a next-generation BMS diagnostic solution for electric vehicles and formed a technical consortium to advance their research, according to LGES. "Through the process of technology sharing and validation, we have demonstrated the excellence of our BMS technology through synergy with Qualcomm Technologies. Now, we are officially embarking on the development for commercialisation," an LGES official said. LGES holds more than 8,000 patents related to BMS. The company boasts a safety diagnostic detection rate of over 90 percent and an industry-leading degradation diagnostic error rate of around 1 percent. Meanwhile, the US unit of LGES has signed a multi-year deal to supply energy storage systems (ESS) to a local renewable energy infrastructure investor. LG Energy Solution Vertech. will supply 7.5-gigawatt-hour (GWh) ESS units to Excelsior Energy Capital LP over several years starting from 2026, the company said. It didn't provide the exact timeframe for the deal, or its value. The ESS units will be produced at LGES' U.S. plants, with the first delivery slated for April 2026. The US deal follows another deal signed last month to supply 8 GWh ESS to local renewable energy firm Terra-Gen Power Holdings II, LLC. for four years through 2029. LGES expects the latest deals will help its US unit obtain further ESS contracts in the significant market. -IANS na/ MENAFN22122024000231011071ID1109022179 Legal Disclaimer: MENAFN provides the information “as is” without warranty of any kind.
