Selden scores 29, Gardner-Webb takes down Bethune-Cookman 79-64Hyundai’s electric vertical takeoff and landing startup Supernal is shifting its global headquarters from Washington, D.C. to Irvine, California and asking around three dozen of workers to relocate, TechCrunch has learned. The company told TechCrunch about 5% of its total workforce — roughly 35 to 40 people — are being asked to relocate to California. Supernal declined to say how many will remain in D.C. But the move affects a majority of the people located there; Data from LinkedIn and a source who spoke to TechCrunch on the condition of anonymity show around 45 people work in the D.C. area for Supernal. The change comes just a little more than a year after Supernal opened the 28,000-square-foot office in D.C. The company said, at the time, that it spent more than a year building out the three-story office “with the mantra of ‘design facilities that inspire and exceed the comfort of employees’ homes.’” Supernal opened what it called an “engineering headquarters” in Irvine and an “R&D headquarters” in Fremont, California around the same time. Jaiwon Shin, president of Hyundai Motor Group and CEO of Supernal, said in a statement to TechCrunch that the decision was made “to enhance collaboration and communication across teams.” The DC office “will remain a hub for policy and regulatory efforts,” Shin said. He said the change will not affect Supernal’s goal of launching an eVTOL service in 2028 . Hyundai has been working on eVTOL technology for years, but announced in December 2021 it would spin out its urban air mobility division into a separate business arm called Supernal. The effort has grown to around 700 employees in the years since. The eVTOL industry is still in flux as companies try to turn the idea of flying taxis into a real business. Volocopter has been teetering on the brink of insolvency for months, and Lilium shut down in October.

Georgia's rights ombudsman on Tuesday accused police of torturing pro-European Union protesters rallying for six consecutive days against the government's decision to shelve EU accession talks amid a post-election crisis. The country of some 3.7 million has been rocked by demonstrations since the ruling Georgian Dream party announced last week it would halt EU accession talks. Police on Tuesday evening used water cannon and tear gas on the sixth night of pro-EU protests in Tbilisi after the prime minister threatened demonstrators with reprisals amid a deepening crisis in the Black Sea nation. Georgia's Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has refused to back down and threatened Tuesday to punish political opponents, accusing them of being behind violence at mass protests. Protesters gathered outside parliament for a sixth straight night but the crowd appeared slightly smaller than on recent nights, an AFP journalist saw. Draped in EU and Georgian flags, protesters booed riot police officers and threw fireworks. Police responded by directing hoses at the protesters, with some dancing in the jets and others sheltering under umbrellas. The police ordered demonstrators to leave through loud hailers and used water cannon to push the crowd away from the parliament. Then they deployed tear gas against the crowd in a nearby street, causing protesters to cough, with some using saline solution to wash out their eyes. Police roughly detained some demonstrators, Georgian independent television showed. Ombudsman Levan Ioseliani said in a statement that most injuries sustained by detained protesters "are concentrated on the face, eyes, and head", adding that "the location, nature, and severity of these injuries strongly suggest that police are using violence against citizens as a punitive measure", which "constitutes an act of torture." Tensions were already high after October parliamentary elections that saw Georgian Dream return to power amid accusations that it rigged the vote. But Kobakhidze's decision that Georgia would not hold EU membership talks until 2028 triggered uproar, although he insisted the country is still heading towards membership. The mostly young protesters accuse Georgian Dream of acting on Russian orders and fear the ex-Soviet country will end up back under Russian influence. Demonstrators projected a message Tuesday that read "thank you for not being tired" onto the parliament building, an AFP reporter saw. During the latest wave of protests, 293 people have been detained, the interior ministry said Tuesday evening, while 143 police have been injured. The health ministry said that on Monday evening 23 protesters were injured. "We want freedom and we do not want to find ourselves in Russia," 21-year-old protester Nika Maghradze told AFP. Demonstrators accuse the government of betraying Georgia's bid for EU membership, which is enshrined in its constitution and supported by around 80 percent of the population. Nugo Chigvinadze, 41, who works in logistics, told AFP at Tuesday's protest that he did not believe the prime minister's claim that the country is still aiming for EU membership. "Whatever our government is saying is a lie. No one believed it. No one," he said. "They are not intending to enter the European Union." Pro-EU President Salome Zurabishvili -- at loggerheads with the government -- has backed the protest and demanded a re-run of the disputed parliamentary vote. But Tbilisi's top court on Tuesday rejected a lawsuit filed by Zurabishvili and opposition parties to overturn the election result. That announcement came shortly after Kobakhidze -- who has ruled out talks with the opposition -- vowed to punish his opponents. "Opposition politicians who have orchestrated the violence in recent days while hiding in their offices will not escape responsibility," he told a press conference. International criticism of Georgia's handling of the protests has grown, with several Western countries saying Tbilisi had used excessive force. Kobakhidze threatened to punish civil servants who join the protests, after several ambassadors and a deputy foreign minister resigned. "We are closely monitoring everyone's actions, and they will not go without a response," he said. Using Kremlin-style language, Kobakhidze alleged the protest movement was "funded from abroad". He also accused non-government groups -- attacked in a repressive pre-election campaign by authorities -- of being behind the protests. At Tuesday's demonstration, Tsotne, 28, who works in IT, defied the threats of reprisals, saying: "It's a peaceful protest, of course but I guess as an individual, I'm ready to defend my country here." Georgia this year adopted Russian-style legislation designed to restrict the activity of NGOs as well measures that the EU says curb LGBTQ rights. The laws prompted the United States to slap sanctions on Georgian officials. But Kobakhidze said his government hoped that the "US attitudes towards us will change after January 20" -- when Donald Trump takes office. Meanwhile, NATO chief Mark Rutte on Tuesday slammed the situation as "deeply concerning", condemning "unequivocally" the reports of violence. led-jc-am-im/givVANCOUVER — Vancouver Canucks defenceman Filip Hronek is expected to be out until the end of January as he recovers from a lower-body injury. General manager Patrik Allvin issued a statement Tuesday saying Hronek underwent a successful procedure for the undisclosed ailment and is expected to miss about eight weeks. He says the 27-year-old Czech blueliner will not require surgery for an upper-body injury. Hronek hasn’t played since going into the endboards hard late in Vancouver’s 5-4 loss to the Penguins in Pittsburgh last Wednesday. He’s been paired with captain Quinn Hughes for much of the season and registered eight points (one goal, eight assists) in 21 games. The Canucks (13-7-3) have dealt with a litany of notable absences this season, including all-star goalie Thatcher Demko, who remains sidelined with a knee injury, and star centre J.T. Miller, who’s on an indefinite leave for personal reasons. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 3, 2024. The Canadian Press

Viewers have been left appalled after watching Beast Games (Picture: Amazon MGM Studios. All Rights Reserved) Amazon Prime Video reality competition series Beast Games has been blasted by viewers for being 'sadistic working class torture porn.' Created by YouTuber MrBeast, real name Jimmy Donaldson, the programme has the largest cash prize in TV and streaming history of $5,000,000 (£3,993,000). In Beast Games, one thousand players battle it out through a series of 'physical, mental and social' challenges for a chance to win the jackpot in a contest that has been compared to Squid Game and Hunger Games. Before the show landed on Amazon Prime on December 19, it was hit by claims of sexual harassment, 'inhumane' conditions and insufficient wages by contestants. In November, MrBeast said on X the allegations were 'blown out of proportion.' On X, fans were left appalled after watching the first 'dystopian' episode which premiered on December 19 and argued it encouraged the 'worst of human nature' as the players behave 'appallingly' to remain in the competition. @fakeart09 raged: '#BeastGames represents the worst of human nature, selfish, individualistic, push someone down so you can stand high all directed by a guy who broke the system and now throws endless amounts of money around to push people to their limits. It's squid game capitalism.' Echoing their sentiment, @JediChai fumed: 'I just watched Beast Games episode 1 & I literally feel sick to my stomach. There is something so evil about packaging this sadistic working class torture porn as entertainment.' @DustinGenereux said: 'This new Mr Beast show is some dystopian Hunger Games type [garbage]. The way they toy with people for $5 million is some psychological warfare and the way the contestants treat each other is wild.' @AndrewJ626 added: 'Against my better judgment, I tuned into Beast Games and it is pretty bleak.

The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) Tuesday extended its warm wishes to Christians in Nigeria and across the globe as they celebrate Christmas and prepare for the New Year. In a statement signed by its national publicity secretary, Prof. Tukur Muhammad-Baba, the ACF stated the need for prayers and reflection, especially as Nigerians face significant economic, social, and political challenges.

The ACF called on Christians and Nigerians of all faiths to pray for peace, security, and economic recovery in the country. The forum also urged for divine guidance for leaders to act with righteousness, fairness, and wisdom in addressing the nation’s problems. Highlighting the importance of national unity and moral renewal, the ACF appealed for repentance and reform among those involved in criminal activities and for divine strength to empower security agencies in their fight against terrorism and criminality. The forum concluded with prayers for a prosperous and equitable Nigeria, governed by justice and fairness for all citizens.
