DALLAS (AP) — Luka Doncic is returning to the Dallas lineup Monday night against the Portland Trail Blazers after missing the Mavericks’ two previous games with a left heel contusion.

or signup to continue reading Not having a clear footpath for scooters and wheelchairs is discrimination. Once it is brought to the council attention in writing it should be actioned. They are on our back to keep the lawns but they can't cut theirs till it is to late. And if we don't cut our lawns we get fined It's not all bad. I just drove past the art gallery and the grass there looks a million bucks ... I mean $54 million bucks. I wondered what was going on. Entering town from the south you wonder if the council stopped cutting grass all together. There's plenty of contractors out there that if given a chance could get all of it under control. Yeah the council owned land next door to me in White Hills has grass as high as the fence and it's now dried out. Same story from council as the others have got. Bet if I owned the land I would have already got a fine. I have been on the phone to the council, every week, for the last few weeks - the grass out my way is dangerously long, and clearly a fire hazard. Was due to be completed in October, now, almost the end on November. Not good enough. It is appalling that council is once again failing in their responsibilities. The footpath from the Howard Street lights in Epsom to Bunnings the grass is nearly as high as me and also other footpaths in the area. It is a dangerous fire hazard and snake hazard and a dreadful look for travellers entering our town. Once again council is letting down the rate payers. Central Victorian Bat Alliance (CVBA) is a Bendigo-based volunteer community group supporting and advocating for all bats particularly the Grey-headed Flying-fox in Rosalind Park. for seeking community feedback on the new Management Plan for Rosalind Park and outlining their obligations to protect the park's camp of Grey-headed Flying-fox under Federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, State Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988, and Wildlife Act 1975 under which Victorian wildlife is protected. Our volunteer group regularly undertakes engagement activities around Rosalind Park and we welcome this opportunity to increase place activation of the park precinct to incorporate it into part of the existing tourism structure of the area. CVBA members regularly see flying-fox admirers and tourists in the parkland enjoying the species roosting. Habitat loss has driven bats to take up residence in urban environments and the currently small numbers of bats we have in the park-precinct contributes greatly to our ecosystem biodiversity. The city correctly states it has no authority to remove or relocate the Grey-headed Flying-fox due to their protected and vulnerable status and are obliged to ensure service delivery principles are considered to ensure positive outcomes for bats and wildlife and their habitat. People who wish to frame the bats as being troublesome or not welcome are clearly unawares of the benefits they provide to our surrounding forest health as our only long-distance flying pollinator and a key-stone species. Anyone familiar with poker machines knows that a win is celebrated with flashing lights and loud, jangly music. But did you know this happens when a payout is less than the bet? It's called a 'loss disguised as a win' and is a tactic to keep people gambling even though they're losing. It's one of many 'tricks' built into gambling products that create a sense of excitement and reward while the odds are stacked against you. Led by the Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC), the theme of this year's Gambling Harm Awareness Week (18-24 Nov.) is . We're encouraging Victorians to learn about the design and tactics behind high-harm gambling activities like casino table games, poker machines, and sports and race betting. The aim is to help the community understand the risks so that they can take steps to protect themselves, like setting and sticking to time and money limits. Likewise, we're reminding industry of its legal and social obligations to minimise the risk of harm to customers.

Chiefs offense hitting its stride with return of wide receiver Marquise Brown from injury
Michelle Klein , Chief Customer and Marketing Officer of IAG, prides herself and her team on “doing the basics brilliantly” while providing an innovative experience for customers. Speaking to Nine CMO Liana Dubois on the latest episode of the Talking Media podcast , Klein said: “The experience and expectations a customer is looking for in your brand or business to deliver are usually quite straightforward.” She noted that customers want clear information and the ability to trust that a brand or company will deliver on its promises and provide excellent service. Klein explained that the relationship with customers is an “ongoing exchange and interaction” and built a picture of customer expectations as an escalator. “Just as you think you’ve defined the ultimate experience for a customer in your category, something changes in technology or the world that then makes that expectation go one step up on the escalator. “Now you can book a taxi on your phone, you can see the world’s greatest hotel network in Airbnb on one single app and easily live in somebody’s house without having to ever meet them. Even though we’re in insurance, those expectations of the experience apply. “We’ve got to start by fundamentally looking at what we do, what we say we’re going to deliver and do it really, really well.” Dubois acknowledged customer service “is a 24/7 job” and every touch point and engagement contributes to the consumer’s experience of a brand. Klein agreed and noted that consumers now have greater access to businesses through innovative tech and social media channels where customers can share feedback and frustrations. She said: “It’s trying to think about the life of the customer that’s 24/7 and also digitalised, so adapting your business model delivery towards that is so important. Dubois pointed out that, unlike her category of media and content, “insurance is low interest until it’s high emotion.” Klein agreed and emphasised the importance of the human touch for customer experience in the insurance category. She noted that insurance can be a “set and forget”, “transactional and rational” purchase until it is needed, which pivots the customer experience to a human and highly emotive one. “I’ve been talking about this quite a lot lately, the conversation around AI and AI-enabling and simplifying and making things more efficient and effective. In those moments, that’s really where you want to speak to a human being. You don’t want to talk to a chatbot.” Dubois asked Klein about finding the balance and boundary between leveraging data effectively and efficiently to create personalised experiences while being mindful of privacy legislation, particularly as an insurance company. “If people understand why you’re collecting their information and how it’s going to make it better for them, ultimately it’s easier for them to want to give it over to you,” Klein said. She noted filling out forms and saving the information so that it is pre-filled for next time, as an example. She also cited being upfront and transparent about why this information is being collected, and positioning some of the marketing consent as a benefit, like being informed of special offers or new products. “I think it’s really important to create the usefulness around data collection and the privacy standards that you are living up to. It’s also about making sure that people understand that a personalised experience is the expectations escalator. “When you use Netflix, Apple Music, Amazon, it’s highly personalised to you, and therefore, if you can look at your business and say, well, how might we explain why personalisation in our business is more impactful for the customer experience, you create that net positive, and that exchange becomes more valuable.” Dubois and Klein also discussed transparently and authentically showing up for consumers, referencing NRMA Insurance’s broadcast partnership with Nine of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. – Top image: Michelle Klein
BayState Business Brokers Reviews and Complaints Analysis Released by IRAEmpire.com
Minutes after the University of North Carolina announced it had hired Bill Belichick as its next head football coach, the Tar Heels’ Instagram account posted a photo of the legendary NFL coach — at no more than 3 years old — sitting in the UNC bleachers. “Welcome home, Coach,” the post reads , dredging up the memory of when the young Belichick shadowed his father, Steve, who was a UNC assistant from 1953 to 1955. As news of his hiring spread around the NFL world, the reaction ranged from excitement at seeing him back on the sideline to disbelief. The most decorated coach in NFL history after earning six Super Bowl rings with the New England Patriots, and two more as the defensive coordinator with the New York Giants, Belichick is officially making his next challenge college football after agreeing to a five-year deal with UNC. “I will have to see him on the sideline to believe that’s happening,” Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury joked Thursday. “We’ll see how the NFL job search goes and all that. I will have to see him on the sideline coaching in Chapel Hill to believe that’s happening." While Belichick’s knowledge of the sport, and his success, are unquestioned, there has been debate among those who have played for the 72-year-old coach during his 40-plus years in football about how well his style will translate to the college game. Some of his former players believe his skill set will work at any level. That list apparently includes Tom Brady, the quarterback during all six of Belichick’s Super Bowl wins with New England. “Congrats, coach. The Tar Heel way is about to become a thing,” Brady posted on Instagram on Thursday, referencing “The Patriot Way” that he popularized in New England. Some cautioned that the players he brings into the UNC program should prepare to have their limits tested like never before. “I think he’s going to do good,” said Patriots receiver Kendrick Bourne, who played under Belichick during his final three years in New England. “Bill does a good job of developing players, developing young men. I think it will be a challenge for the young man. He’s a tough coach, which we all know. But I think it will be good for certain players that have the right mindset.” Bourne's advice? Always stay locked in mentally. “Just stay tough,” Bourne said. “Have a gritty mindset because it’s not going to be easy, but in the end, it’s going to be worth it." Though some have questioned why the Tar Heels would even consider hiring Belichick after parting ways with 73-year-old Mack Brown this season, current Patriots coach Jerod Mayo said good coaching is ageless. “To me, it doesn’t matter if you’re a young man or a 10-year vet in the league, he’s a great teacher,” said Mayo, who played eight seasons under Belichick, winning a Super Bowl during the 2014 season, and then succeeded him as head coach after last season. "I wish him nothing but the best. It doesn’t really matter what level, I think he’ll be successful.” NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders is a relative newcomer to the college game himself. He spent three seasons at Jackson State before going to Colorado in 2023. In a message posted to the X social media platform, he welcomed Belichick as a competitor. “Coach Bill Belichick is a coaches coach to all us Coaches along with my man coach (NIck) Saban,” Sanders posted. “They’re game changers and they know how to move people forward. I know this is a great thing for College Football & for North Carolina. God bless u Coach, if you’re happy I am 2.” But former Patriots defensive back Je’Rod Cherry wonders how well Belichick’s old-school coaching style will be received in an era in which in-your-face methods don't always fly as well as they did when Belichick began his career. “You can’t coach hard anymore,” Cherry said during an appearance on ESPN GameNight. “You can’t yell at guys, curse at guys and that’s what he does. You are going to have to find guys who are going to accept that brand of coaching and will accept someone constantly getting on them." New York Jets safety Jalen Mills, who played for Belichick with the Patriots from 2021 to 2023, said he was surprised by the news. “I thought he definitely was going to try to wait it out until after the season and come back to the NFL,” Mills said. "But I think it’s gonna be a good thing for him because now you get a guy who has won and, of course, he’s going to try to turn that program around. But he also gets to connect with the younger generation and kind of modify and adjust to this younger generation of football on top of what he already knows. So I think that’ll just help him as far as coaching. And then, of course, he’ll give those guys, those young guys, structure as far as what the NFL looks like, too.” Just how much the Belichick on the college sidelines will resemble the one in the cutoff hooded sweatshirt who patrolled NFL sidelines is unclear. Belichick hinted they will be one and the same. During an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on ESPN prior to agreeing to the UNC job, Belichick laid out what his approach at the college level would be. “The program would be a pipeline to the NFL for the players than have the ability to play in the NFL,” Belichick said. “It would be a professional program — training, nutrition, scheme, coaching, techniques — that would transfer to the NFL. It would be an NFL program at a college level.” AP National Writer Howard Fendrich and Pro Football Writer Dennis Waszak contributed to this report. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflRoss-shire figures wish for transport, housing and tourism in 2025Lamar Jackson is "irreplaceable" to the Baltimore Ravens and is hoping this is the year they "put a ring on it" and win the Super Bowl . The path there is not easy and while they have already secured a playoff spot, they can potentially better their seeding with a win on Christmas Day against the Houston Texans . Jackson is looking forward to Wednesday's game, but not just because it's a chance to extend their win streak to three games. Superstar singer Beyonce is performing in the middle of the action and Jackson plans to catch the halftime performance. During halftime, players head to the locker room and miss whatever goes on between the game, but Jackson is saying, "I ain't sorry" to his teammates and planning to stay out on the field. When asked if he would be disappointed that Beyoncé is performing at halftime and he will have to miss it, Jackson said, "Nah, cause I'm gonna go out there and watch. I'm gonna go out there and watch, man." Let it me known that Lamar Jackson WILL be watching Beyonce at halftime on Christmas Day. "Sorry Harbaugh." 😂 pic.twitter.com/JDvYJJ8K3m Jackson, who is clearly is fan of Queen B, said he's never seen the singer before and he doesn't plan on missing the opportunity to catch the 99-time Grammy nominate. "First time seeing Beyonce perform and it's at our game?! That's dope," the two-time MVP said, followed by an apology to his head coach John Harbaugh. "I'm gonna go out and watch, sorry Harbaugh, sorry. Sorry fellas." When asked if it would depend on how big the lead was, if they have one, he shook his head, saying, "I'm not even thinking about the lead, I'm just thinking about just seeing Beyonce for the first time." Jackson doesn't want anyone to take his comments the wrong way, but didn't backtrack on wanting to leave the locker room to see Beyonce. "Not sounding like that, no disrespect, because I know how people can take things," Jackson said. If Jackson does view the show, he won't be the first player to stay out to watch a halftime performance. During Super Bowl LVI, Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson watched Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar hit the stage. The Ravens are currently 10-5, while the Texans are 9-6.The 11 Best Sources Of Plant-Based Calcium

BEREAVED families have hit out as shamed Dr Catherine Calderwood dodged a Covid probe grilling. They raised “serious questions” over the UK pandemic inquiry after the disgraced ex-Scots chief medical officer was excused from giving evidence on health grounds. 2 Disgraced Dr Catherine Calderwood will dodge a Covid probe grilling on health grounds Credit: Getty - Pool 2 The medic was caught flouting lockdown rules in April 2020 Credit: The Sun It comes after she failed to appear at probe hearings in Edinburgh earlier this year despite her key role in the early months of the crisis. She quit in April 2020 after we revealed she illegally visited her holiday pad in Fife while fronting ads telling Scots to stay at home . Scottish Covid Bereaved’s lawyer Aamer Anwar said: “Families believe Dr Calderwood should have given evidence at the inquiry’s Scotland module and were extremely disappointed she did not.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Kyler Murray was driving to the Arizona Cardinals' practice facility Wednesday when he realized that it had been almost exactly two years since he tore the ACL in his right knee in a game against the New England Patriots. Then another thought crossed his mind: It was the Patriots who were coming to town this Sunday for the first time since the injury. “Yeah, it’s a little weird,” Murray said with a wry grin. "I will try not to have that happen again.” The injury on Dec. 12, 2022, cost Murray roughly 11 months of his career, but he has been healthy this season. And now the Cardinals (6-7) are clinging to playoff hopes when they host the Patriots (3-10) on Sunday. Both teams have lost three straight games. The Patriots are coming off their bye week and haven't played since a 25-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Dec. 1. The Cardinals are trying to move past a brutal 30-18 loss to NFC West rival Seattle which knocked them into a tie for last place in the tightly packed division. Murray is coming off one of his worst games since the injury, throwing two interceptions that each eventually lead to touchdowns for Seattle. It was a rare blemish on an otherwise solid season — he has thrown for 2,862 yards, 15 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content.
