super ace 888 For some time now there’s been widely reported rumors that Tom Hardy’s Venom will appear in the upcoming fourth “Spider-Man” film. Those reports claimed the movie would see Spider-Man and Venom team up to take on Knull, God of the Symbiotes who briefly appeared in “Venom: The Last Dance”. However all that has been pure speculation with no indications of it being anything more. Fuel was added to the fire today as an apparent Sony Pictures Japan press release, still up now on the , may have inadvertently indicated plans are for Tom Holland and Tom Hardy to team-up on screen. Published on November 8th, has discovered that a section of the release translates to: “Tom Holland, who plays Peter [Parker], has already given his stamp of approval to the story! ‘This will be a real movie that fans can respect!’ Is Tom Hardy, who plays Eddie in the ‘Venom’ series, ready to take part?” There’s another section that translates: “Although it is the last film in the series, he [Tom Hardy] said, ‘In fact, I should not say goodbye to Venom, but welcome to the final stage [The Last Dance]. Venom’s story is not over yet. He still has a lot to do,’ leaving the possibility of future depictions.” The garbled translation, and apparent mash-up of the press release with some sort of “Venom: The Last Dance” promotion, has generated enough discussion to be a trending topic on social media – even as it offers nothing in the way of any real confirmation. That said, as the outlet does point out, different international arms of Sony Pictures inadvertently dropped hints that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s would return in “Spider-Man: No Way Home” in the lead up to release – hints which turned out to be correct. Filming on the fourth “Spider-Man” is expected to get underway in the Summer ahead of a 2026 release.spent immense money and energy helping Donald Trump retake the White House, but the Tesla CEO's new political influence may not do much to boost the fortunes of his carmaker, one of the company's longtime backers said. Ross Gerber, a Tesla bull and the president of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth & Investment Management, thinks the electric vehicle maker faces big challenges ahead, even as optimism about Musk's ties to Trump has excited investors and sparked a sharp rally in since the election. Traders are hopeful that Musk's close ties to the president-elect — which ultimately landed the Tesla CEO — could sway important policy decisions in favor of Tesla. But that doesn't solve the problems Tesla has been struggling with for years, Gerber said, pointing to concerns surrounding the success of Tesla's car business, and whether its new ride-hailing platform or artificial intelligence projects will amount to much. In Gerber's view, Tesla shares should be trading around $200, implying 40% downside from the stock's closing price of $338.23 on Tuesday. Gerber said his fund, which began cutting its stake in Tesla in late 2023, continues to sell the stock in small amounts, keeping Tesla's concentration in its portfolio to just 2%. The fund sold nearly 16,000 shares in the third quarter, though the total value of its remaining stake rose to $71 million, regulatory filings show. "We're still selling it," Gerber told Business Insider. "I used to have a 10%, 12%, even 20% stake in Tesla at some point in my life where it was like, Tesla was taking us to the moon kind of thing. And I just think its best days are behind it." It's worth noting that Tesla handily beat third-quarter earnings estimates, soothing some investor concerns after a tough start to the year. Countering Gerber's views, some also see Musk's new political influence as a big win for his companies. "The biggest winner from a Trump White House remains Tesla and Musk which made a strategic big bet on Trump that will pay major dividends for years to come," Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives wrote following the election. Skeptical of the tech Gerber believes Tesla's technology has plateaued in recent years, and Musk's ties to Washington won't help that. He pointed to issues with Tesla's technology, which he's been using nearly every day for the last three years. "So the ultimate reality for full self-driving is it doesn't work, and the precision isn't good. And vision-only systems have flaws that I don't think Elon wants to admit." Gerber thinks the tech issues will persist, partly because Musk looks poised to devote more of his time to his role in the Department of Government Efficiency. Beginning with the acquisition of X, Gerber, in recent years, has been a vocal critic of what he sees as Musk's neglect of his core companies, primarily . "He doesn't work at Tesla. I mean, let's be real, "Gerber said. We all know where Elon is right now, and he's at Mar-a-Lago. So he hasn't worked at Tesla for a long time." Gerber is also concerned about some of the projects within the company. He pointed to Tesla's platform, which will be competing with more established companies like Uber and Waymo. "Why does it deserve this premium?" he said of the stock. "I get that Elon is now vice president of the United States, but that doesn't necessarily help Tesla." Trump's transition team has signaled that it would end the $7,500 tax credit for EVs— —but even that's unlikely to be a bullish catalyst for the company, Gerber said. Musk has said that repealing the tax credit would be more harmful to Tesla's rivals, but Gerber's firm has estimated that Tesla sales could drop around 25% if the tax credit was no longer available. That would be "devastating" to Tesla's business, he said, given that the company has already slashed on some of its models in the face of uncertain EV demand in recent years. "If the EV tax credit goes, that would be an extreme negative I would have to react to," Gerber said, adding that it was his biggest concern at the moment. Previously, Gerber told BI he would consider completely closing his position in Tesla by the end of the year if its business didn't improve, or if Musk didn't refocus his attention on his companies. Gerber has since adjusted his view and said he would continue to hold Tesla as a small investment in his portfolio, mostly out of bullishness on EVs in general. "Certainly if you want to get out of Tesla, it's a great opportunity," Gerber said, later adding that he was in "wait-and-see" mode. "And if you're a buyer of Tesla, boy, you're paying a lot for hope." Tesla did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. Read the original article on

Julia Wick | (TNS) Los Angeles Times As California politicos look ahead to 2025, the biggest question looming is whether Vice President Kamala Harris — a native daughter, battered just weeks ago by presidential election defeat — will enter the 2026 California governor’s race.

But if Harris does ultimately run — and that’s a massive if — her entrée would seismically reshape the already crowded race for California’s highest office. Recent polling suggests Harris would have a major advantage, with 46% of likely voters saying they were somewhat or very likely to support her for governor in 2026, according to a UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies survey co-sponsored by The Times. “If Vice President Harris were to choose to run, I am certain that that would have a near field-clearing effect on the Democratic side,” Rep. Katie Porter, D-Irvine, said during a recent UC Irvine panel interview . Porter, a high-profile Democrat who has been eyeing the wide-open governor’s race, has yet to say whether she plans to run. Porter’s point was broadly echoed in conversations with nearly a dozen California political operatives and strategists, several of whom requested anonymity to speak candidly. Most speculated that a Harris entry would cause some other candidates in the race to scatter, creating further upheaval in down-ballot races as a roster of ambitious politicians scramble for other opportunities. “In politics, you always let the big dogs eat first,” quipped Democratic political consultant Peter Ragone. The current gubernatorial field is a who’s who of California politicians, but lacks a clear favorite or star with widespread name recognition. The vast majority of California’s 22 million voters have yet to pay attention to the race and have little familiarity with the candidates. The list of Democratic candidates includes Los Angeles’ first Latino mayor in more than a century ( Antonio Villaraigosa ); the first female and first out LGBTQ leader of the state Senate ( Toni Atkins ); the sitting lieutenant governor and first woman to hold that post ( Eleni Kounalakis ); the state superintendent of public instruction ( Tony Thurmond ) and the former state controller ( Betty Yee ). Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom is serving his second term as California governor, meaning he is ineligible to run again. Several other Democrats, including Porter, outgoing Health and Human Services Director Xavier Becerra and state Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta have also publicly toyed with the idea of a run. They could be less likely to enter the fray should Harris decide to run. What the billionaire mall mogul Rick Caruso — who has also been exploring a run — would choose to do is an open question, as Caruso might contrast himself with Harris as a more centrist candidate. The real estate developer was a registered Republican until November 2019. It’s unlikely that Harris will proffer a public decision in the immediate term, leaving plenty of time for political insiders to game out hypotheticals in the weeks and months to come. Harris’ office did not respond to a request for comment. “I think every candidate for governor is trying to get some kind of intel,” Mike Trujillo, a Los Angeles-based Democratic political consultant and former Villaraigosa staffer, said of a potential Harris run. Trujillo speculated that Harris’ current state was probably similar to Hillary Clinton’s hiking sojourns in the Chappaqua woods after losing to Donald Trump in 2016, or Al Gore growing a beard in the bruising aftermath of his 2000 defeat. “The first thing she’s probably thinking about is, ‘Well, can I run again for president in four years?’ Not, ‘Do I run for governor in two years?’” said one political operative who’s worked with Harris in the past. Harris maintains a home in Brentwood and previously served as California’s senator and attorney general. A successful run for governor in 2026 would almost certainly impede a grab for the presidency in 2028. (Though if history is any guide, an unsuccessful run for California governor does not definitively preclude a bid for the Oval Office: Two years after losing the White House to John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon lost the 1962 contest for governor to Pat Brown . The Yorba Linda native became the nation’s 37th president in 1969.) As the chief executive of a state that doubles as the world’s fifth-largest economy, Harris would have more power to steer policy and make changes as a California governor than she did as vice president, where her job required deference to President Biden. But leading a state, even the nation’s most populous, could feel like small potatoes after being a heartbeat (and a few dozen electoral votes) from the presidency. The protracted slog to November 2026 would also be a stark contrast to her ill-fated 107-day sprint toward the White House, particularly for a candidate whose 2020 presidential primary campaign was dogged by allegations of infighting and mismanagement. “I don’t think Kamala Harris has a deep psychological need to be governor of California, or to be in elective office in order to feel like she can contribute to society,” said the operative who’s worked with Harris in the past. “I think some of these people do, but she’s somebody who has enough prominence that she could do a lot of big, wonderful things without having to worry about balancing California’s budget or negotiating with Assemblyman Jesse Gabriel,” the Encino Democrat who chairs the Assembly’s budget committee. Technically, Harris has until March 2026 to decide whether she enters a race. But political strategists who spoke to The Times theorized that she probably would make a move by late spring, if she chooses to do so. “People will be more annoyed if she drops in in June,” a Democratic strategist involved with one of the gubernatorial campaigns said. Sending a clear signal by February would be more “courteous,” the strategist continued, explaining that such a move would give candidates more time to potentially enter other races. Kounalakis is a longtime friend and ally of Harris’ , and the vice president also has long-term relationships with some of the other candidates and potential candidates. California has eight statewide elected offices and campaign finance laws allow candidates to fundraise interchangeably for them, meaning money already raised for a candidate’s gubernatorial campaign could easily be redirected should they decide to run for, say, lieutenant governor instead. There are already a number of candidates running for lieutenant governor, including former Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs, former state Sen. Steven Bradford and former state Treasurer Fiona Ma. But that office probably would see even more interest should Harris enter the gubernatorial race. It’s a largely ceremonial position, but one that has served as a launching pad for the governorship. Still, even if Harris does enter the race, Republican political strategist Mike Murphy threw cold water on the idea that she would have an automatic glide path to the governor’s office. “It’s like Hollywood. Nobody knows anything. She’s famous enough to look credible in early polling. That’s all we know for sure,” Murphy said. “Does that predict the future? No. Are there a lot of downsides (to a potential Harris candidacy)? Totally, yes.” ©2024 Los Angeles Times. Visit latimes.com. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

When we talk of historical walls, the idea of ancient Great Wall of China at once comes to our mind. It is the most famous ancient wall of world. There are other several walls found at other places as well, but those are not so famous. There are several such historical cities, towns and places which have been called as walled cities. In our Jammu and Kashmir the remains of such walls are still found, at several cities and towns, including that of Jammu, Srinagar, ands Poonch. But I am not here to discuss those high profile walls, these have already been discussed and plenty of information is already available on such great historical walls. My concern here is with those little known local traditional walls of my land which have been there for centuries. Walls are basically raised for security and covering of one’s places like, cities, towns, forts, houses, gardens and orchards. It is a sort of demarcation and protection to one’s propriety. In fact, with the advancement of the building material and its technology, the traditional wall architecture, like other architectures, has underwent great change. Let us here try to describe few wall architectural styles. Diaper pebble walls The remains of earliest walls have been found at Harwan and Semthan archaeological sites. These are two types of walls; one has been called as diaper pebble style and other simply as rubble style. The diaper style wall has been exclusively formed of small peoples and in between at requisite places has been supported by rubble stones, while in rubble style the wall is mostly formed of rubble stone and at some spaces it has been supported by small pebbles. Such walls have been identified and deciphered, and believed to have been in vogue here during Scythian and Kushan era (100 BC – 400 AD); raising of such walls required a special craftsmanship, where in the small pebbles of the walls required to be formed in a smooth way. I could also see at Darakote-Hutmur terraces demarcated by some small wall which at few spaces has been disturbed. The small pebbles are visible. It looks that this demarcation line had been formed of small pebbles. Stone Wall Stone wall locally known as Kenidus was raised around the courtyard of the house. Stones were first assembled and then raised one after the other. The gaps were filled by small stones. The height of such walls was kept low to the extent that wild animals should not cross over. The walls from 2.6ft to 3 ft are left coverless in order to prevent any damage by snow or heavy rains. The heavy pressure of water, mostly during flood and heavy snowfall can damage it badly and that is why the design is as it is. Although raising such walls may require a little technical knowhow, the architectural significance with regard to the climate and the environs of this place can never be undermined. Local people usually do the bulk of work themselves and may seek a little help from those who know the craft. Earthen Walls These are the walls created of local earths. They require the cover and can be raised to a desired height. These walls are more popular than the stone walls and are seen everywhere in the plains of the valley. The construction of such walls is a bit difficult and cannot be raised without its proper device called Inder . Inder is a mould prepared of wooden logs and frames. For construction of earthen walls, the area is properly market and a tunnel of around 1-2 feet is dug out to fix a boulder plinth using mud for plaster. When the plinth is dry, the wooden Inder is placed over it which makes a space for more mud to be thrown into it. Few persons work inside the Inder as rollers while few persons put the loose mud into it. The wall is raised in small parts, measuring three to four feet in length. When one part is completed, the Inder is removed and placed on the next portion. So the construction continues till the desired wall is raised whether around the courtyard or circling the vegetable orchard. It can be raised higher than stone wall and goes up to the length of eight feet or more. Such walls are covered with straw and sometimes leaves are used for this purpose. This type of cover is locally known as “Nelvoth” wall coverage. These earthen walls have been very poplar here which is testified by the fact that many evidences of these walls are still found in many villages of this land. Mud Walls Mud walls are not as common as the stone and earthen walls. However, the tradition of building such walls is also in vogue. These walls are formed of mud plasters. Gara is first prepared (mud making places) with mixture of water, grass and sieved earth. A mixture is prepared for making small roundish balls. These balls of mud are then fixed over one another in a proper sequence forming a mud wall of desired length and height. Such walls have been famous in the villages with less availability of stones. Bush Walls Basically barricades of sorts, Bush walls were mostly erected by the formers for safeguarding their fields. Such walls are mostly seen in forest belts (villages nearest to forest lands). The inhabitants of these villages compile the bushes and tree branches from their nearest forests and place these bushes around their fields in railings. People in such areas would, sometimes, erect such walls around their houses to cheek the movement of any wild animals. It is locally known as Zou or Pelyar . Unbaked Brick Walls The walls discussed above are the walls of common people who live a poor life while there are few well to do families in the villages who preferred brick walls and covered their houses with walls formed of bricks and mud plaster. Erecting of brick walls required expert building techniques and services of a mason, locally termed as Daesil . It is not a rough work but requires a fine finish. These are also covered with ( Nelvoth ) a special traditional roof covering material or thatch. Since such types of constructions have become extremely rare even in the far off villages of the valley, there is a need to identify those architectural monuments and preserve few of them for our forth coming generations.
