Dear Eric: When my only son and his wife got married and had kids, I was informed that Christmas Day would just be for them to celebrate. I said OK. For decades, I have given my son and his family (wife and two kids) really nice gifts for Christmas. We are talking about hundreds of dollars. For a while, I would receive a small gift, such as a bottle of homemade vanilla, a rose-scented tin of salve made by a friend of the wife or a coffee cup or some such as a gift from the family. Same with my birthday. I have never received a gift from the grandkids. Last year, I let them know I would no longer be “exchanging” gifts with the parents but gifts to the grandkids (who are now teenagers with jobs) will continue. That year, I got them electronics and hoodies. I got nothing from anyone. Not even an acknowledgement from the kids. I have always had to deliver the gifts or call to see if they received them. This year, it is only going to be a Christmas card. Am I being overly sensitive? — Empty Stocking People are also reading... Dear Stocking: No, you are not being overly sensitive. Every family has their own traditions and needs. And no one is obligated to give — or accept — a gift. But it sure does make me sad that your desire to make this holiday special isn’t being reciprocated. Part of it may be a misalignment of expectations. You’ve given generously, into the hundreds of dollars. I’m curious if your son and daughter-in-law have different values or wants around gifting that are either not being expressed or not being heard. They should tell you clearly. Similarly, when you decided to stop giving gifts to the adults, I’m curious if your expectations were that your son would realize that you weren’t getting what you wanted and make a change. It’s worth talking it through a little more but try to focus on the want behind the want. I suspect that what you’re craving is connection — and perhaps an invitation to the family Christmas. It makes sense that you’d try to show your love from a distance through gift-giving and it makes sense that it would hurt not to have it reciprocated. But perhaps the tradition of gifts is getting in the way on both sides. If you’d like to be invited or would like to find an alternate way of celebrating and being together, that’s a great gift to ask for. Dear Eric: I was riding my bicycle when, unbeknownst to me, my wallet fell out of my pocket. My driver’s license, credit cards and about $200 in cash were in the wallet. Later that day I received a telephone call from a cyclist who found my wallet on his ride and told me that I could come over to pick it up. What, if any, reward would be appropriate? I gave a $30 bottle of wine. — Grateful Cyclist Dear Cyclist: How lucky that your path crossed with such a good fellow citizen! Etiquette experts agree that the amount of a reward in situations like this is really up to you. So, the bottle of wine you gave works. My only suggestion, however, would be that, if this ever happens again (fingers crossed your wallet stays in your pocket from now on), you check with the recipient to make sure that they drink wine. It’s the thought that counts, but you don’t want your grateful efforts to put someone else in an uncomfortable or dangerous situation. Send questions to R. Eric Thomas at eric@askingeric.com .

As Liu Shaoang's career progressed, he continued to improve and evolve as a skater. His confidence grew, and he began to challenge the Chinese team on a more equal footing.

The intense competition between Liu Shaoang and the Chinese team captivated audiences around the world, turning their races into nail-biting spectacles of skill and determination.Israeli officials said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet is planning to meet on Tuesday to discuss a ceasefire proposal with Hezbollah in Lebanon, which could mark the first agreement of its kind with the Lebanese militia or with Hamas since the conflict erupted with both groups on October 7th of last year. PUBLICIDAD The Israeli ambassador in Washington stated that this agreement could be finalized "in a matter of days." Mike Herzog declared to the Israeli Army Radio that there are still "points to finalize" and any agreement requires government approval. He noted, however, that "we are close to an agreement" and "it could happen in a matter of days." PUBLICIDAD According to the information provided by CNN, Netanyahu began talking to Israeli officials on Sunday and this time he would be inclined to approve it. His spokesperson said he expects the agreement to be ratified. What are the details of the potential ceasefire? Outstanding issues include Israel's demand to reserve the right to take action in case Hezbollah violates its obligations as provided for in the agreement. The agreement aims to withdraw the political-paramilitary group and the Israeli forces from southern Lebanon. According to information from the New York Times , Israeli forces would withdraw from Lebanon within 60 days, while Hezbollah would move north of the Litani River . The Lebanese army would be in charge of this exclusion zone. Israel has accused Hezbollah of not adhering to the United Nations resolution that ended the 2006 war between the two parties, in which similar provisions were established. In turn, Lebanon claims that Israel also violated the 2006 resolution and complains that Israeli military aircraft and warships enter Lebanese territory even when there is no active conflict. At the moment, it is unknown if Lebanon will accept the demand. Will the agreement be finalized this time? The optimism surrounding an agreement comes after a high-ranking US envoy held talks with both parties last week in an attempt to end the conflict. In any case, far-right groups, which are fundamental for the alliance under which Netanyahu governs, are opposed to a ceasefire. Israel's National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, said that "an agreement with Lebanon is a big mistake. A historic missed opportunity to eradicate Hezbollah...As I warned before in Gaza, I now warn as well: Prime Minister, it is not too late to stop this agreement! We must continue until absolute victory!" The Joe Biden administration, which dispatched a negotiator last week, hopes that the agreement will be finalized before Thanksgiving Day, which is celebrated this Thursday in the United States. Hezbollah began attacking Israel on October 8, 2023, one day after Hamas's incursion into southern Israel that triggered over a year of fighting. These attacks escalated into a large-scale war with an intense Israeli aerial offensive in Lebanon, followed by a ground incursion into the southern part of the country. The Lebanese militia has launched thousands of rockets towards Israeli cities and towns, including around 250 on Sunday. In turn, Israel has caused thousands of deaths in attacks in southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut, controlled by Hezbollah. Additionally, at the end of September, they killed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the organization.
Title: As: Real Madrid Coaching Staff Believes Jules Koundé is the Best Shooter in the Team
In a move that drew anger from people across the nation this spring, a young bear cub reluctantly pulled from a tree for a selfie photo in North Carolina has returned home to the wild, months after spending time in rehabilitative care, state officials said. The black bear cub, one of two snatched from a tree outside an Asheville apartment complex in April, is female and was estimated to be about 3-4 months old at the time of the incident, according to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission . Not long after, a viral video taken by a resident showing people holding the female cub circulated online and drew outrage from social media users. After recording the video, the resident − who told the group to stop bothering the cubs − alerted maintenance for the complex, which called Buncombe County Sheriff’s Office. That agency responded and contacted the state wildlife officers. The footage shows four people trying to grab two black bear cubs perched on a tree branch extending over a short fence to the apartment property. One of the women successfully gets ahold of one cub and after apparently taking pictures holding the cub, an animal shrieking noise is heard, and the bear drops to the ground. The cub then runs along the inside of the fence and tries to climb it as the woman chases after it. The female cub was later rescued by NCWRC staff in a nearby retention pond and taken to the Appalachian Wildlife Refuge in Candler, one of two rehab facilities for bears in the state. A second cub, presumed to be her sibling, was seen running away in the video and never found. It is unknown whether the cubs were in the tree because they had been orphaned, or if the two were simply waiting for their mother to return. "While rehabilitated animals are generally not given names, the public referred to her as “selfie bear” due to the nature of her becoming orphaned," the wildlife commission released in a statement to USA TODAY Thursday. Child tests positive for bird flu in CA: Child treated, no known exposure to infected animals Selfie bear: 'She is adjusting well' Wildlife officials wrote in the statement the bear was released in an undisclosed and remote Western North Carolina mountain area. Video provided by the NCWRC shows the rehabilitated cub shoot out of a crate, do a quick spin and jet off into the woods. The bear is wearing a collar in the footage. “The GPS collar data shows that she is adjusting well to life back in the wild,” NCWRC Bearwise Coordinator Ashley Hobbs said. “Like most rehabilitated black bear cubs, we expect this cub to follow its instincts this winter and identify an appropriate location to den. Bear cubs are resilient animals, and it looks like this cub won’t be an exception.” “People who try to capture or handle a cub are not only risking the cub’s safety, but their own if the mother bear is nearby, as she may try to defend her cubs,” Game Mammals and Surveys Supervisor Colleen Olfenbuttel said in a statement. “By trying to capture a bear cub, you may cause it to become orphaned, injured or both.” 'No charges filed' No charges were filed in the case, which was closed in late April by the NCWRC , the agency that investigated the disturbing incident. Officials with NCRWC previously reported one of the bear cubs bit one of the people during the interaction. Under North Carolina law, "any person who unlawfully takes, possesses, transports, sells, possesses for sale, or buys any bear or bear part is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor," punishable by a fine of at least $2,000. “While dangerous and unfortunate, it appears to be an isolated event,” commission spokesperson Failey Mahlum told the Citizen Times , part of the USA TODAY Network at the time. “It is unlawful in NC to capture and keep black bears. However, the bear cubs were immediately released... there will be no charges filed." Seeking justice: 2 weeks after Peanut the Squirrel's euthanasia, pet owner seeks answers What to do if you come into contact with bear cubs Biologists say if someone encounters bear cubs or a den they should stay calm, quiet and leave the area as soon as possible. If a den is disturbed by people, bears can be inadvertently exposed from their den and cubs can become orphaned or die, wildlife officials said. Suspect a cub has been orphaned? Do not pick it up, experts say. Instead contact your local wildlife agency for help. Natalie Neysa Alund is a senior reporter for USA TODAY.

Walmart’s DEI rollback signals a profound shift in the wake of Trump’s election victory
Share Tweet Share Share Email The United States Supreme Court avoided a ruling on Friday about the possibility of allowing shareholders to pursue a securities fraud case against Meta’s Facebook , alleging that the social media company misled investors about the improper use of user data. TakeAway Points: The U.S. Supreme Court avoided a ruling about the possibility of allowing shareholders to continue with a securities fraud case against Meta’s Facebook, which accused the social media company of deceiving investors about the improper use of user data. The justices, who heard arguments in the case on Nov. 6, dismissed Facebook’s appeal of a lower court’s ruling that allowed a 2018 class action led by an amalgamated bank to proceed. The Facebook dispute was one of two cases to come before the Supreme Court this month involving the right of private litigants to hold companies to account for alleged securities fraud. Supreme court closes lawsuit against Facebook The justices, who heard arguments in the case on Nov. 6, dismissed Facebook’s appeal of a lower court’s ruling that allowed a 2018 class action led by an amalgamated bank to proceed. The Supreme Court opted not to resolve the underlying legal dispute, determining that the case should not have been taken up. Its action leaves the lower court’s decision in place. The court’s dismissal came in a one-line order that provided no explanation. The Facebook dispute was one of two cases to come before the Supreme Court this month involving the right of private litigants to hold companies to account for alleged securities fraud. The other one, involving the artificial intelligence chipmaker Nvidia, was argued on Nov. 13. The Supreme Court has not ruled yet in the Nvidia case. The Case The plaintiffs in the Facebook case claimed the company unlawfully withheld information from investors about a 2015 data breach involving British political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica that affected more than 30 million Facebook users. They accused Facebook of misleading investors in violation of the Securities Exchange Act, a 1934 federal law that requires publicly traded companies to disclose their business risks. Facebook’s stock fell following 2018 media reports that Cambridge Analytica had used improperly harvested Facebook user data in connection with Donald Trump’s successful U.S. presidential campaign in 2016. The investors have sought unspecified monetary damages in part to recoup the lost value of the Facebook stock they held. At issue was whether Facebook broke the law when it failed to detail the prior data breach in subsequent business-risk disclosures and instead portrayed the risk of such incidents as purely hypothetical. Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone expressed disappointment “in the Supreme Court’s decision not to clarify this part of the law.” “The plaintiff’s claims are baseless and we will continue to defend ourselves as this case is considered by the district court,” Stone said. Facebook argued that it was not required to reveal that its warned-of risk had already materialized because “a reasonable investor” would understand risk disclosures to be forward-looking statements. President Joe Biden’s administration supported the shareholders in the case. U.S. District Judge Edward Davila dismissed the lawsuit but the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals revived it, prompting Facebook’s appeal to the Supreme Court. George Washington University law professor Alan Morrison said that following the Supreme Court’s dismissal of Facebook’s appeal, the plaintiffs would be expected to seek discovery, process that involves the exchange of information among parties in a case. Morrison added that Facebook “might renew their motion to dismiss under a somewhat different standard – partially for purposes of delay.” The Cambridge Analytica data breach prompted U.S. government investigations into Facebook’s privacy practices, various lawsuits, and a U.S. congressional hearing. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in 2019 brought an enforcement action against Facebook over the matter, which the company settled for $100 million. Facebook paid a separate $5 billion penalty to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission over the issue. The Supreme Court, in prior rulings, has limited the authority of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the federal agency that polices securities fraud.

The anticipation in waiting for Santa grew high as children of all ages waited for the famous man in the red suit. To fill the time, children continued singing Christmas Carols, with few favorites being Silent Night, Jingle Bells, and Jingle Bell Rock. Weather did not permit Santa to arrive via the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office Helicopter Unit, but plan B worked out just as well. As many said during his entrance, “who needs reindeer when you can ride in a tank.” “Santa is here,” Vice President Dr. Johnny Smith announced, which was followed by a roar of screams, cheers, and claps. The children screamed in unison as Santa walked in and cheered him on as made his way to his chair to meet them, giving him a ‘Rockstar Greeting.’ One by one, children gathered and talked with Santa, telling him what they hoped to get for Christmas. They were given a bag of gifts and had a chance to sample cookies and juice prepared by Santa’s elves in the RCC Culinary Arts program. “I want a bike and some video games,” said one child who was so excited to see Santa. “I want a doll and a bear,” said a little girl, which was followed by a little boy who said, “I want a puppy for Christmas.” As children sat down to eat cookies and drink their juice, many started pulling out coloring books that were made special just for them. But then they noticed something peculiar lurking in the background. It was the Grinch! “Look!” everyone said as they pointed at the green character wearing Santa’s suit. The Grinch made his way into the room, moving slowly until he made his way over to Santa’s table, knocking gifts over, down on the floor. The Grinch then grabbed the Santa’s bag of gifts. “No, no, no,” the children screamed. “He’s got Santa’s bag, stop him.” As the Grinch started running, he made an exit for the door, but he got stopped by Sheriff’s Deputies who helped saved the day. “They got him,” the children yelled. Once apprehended, Deputy Donel McCallum carried the Grinch to Sheriff Burnis Wilkins, who made the Grinch give back Santa’s bag and take pictures with the children. At the end of the event, everyone gathered together to light the tree in the Workforce Development Center. “The lighting of the tree ensures the Christmas spirit will not be stolen but will be shining brightly all season long,” Executive Vice President Eric Freeman said before the choir started singing ‘O Christmas Tree,” with the children joining in. “Merry Christmas to all,” Santa said as he departed to prepare for his next big event, the Lumberton Christmas parade.
