MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (AP) — Uruguayans on Sunday voted in the second round of the country's presidential election , with the conservative governing party and a left-leaning coalition locked in a close runoff following level-headed campaigns widely seen as emblematic of the country's strong democracy. As polls closed Sunday evening, turnout stood at 89.4% — around the same as during the first round last month in which the two moderate coalitions both failed to win an outright majority. Voting in Uruguay is compulsory. Depending on how tight the vote turns out to be, electoral officials may not call the race for days — as happened in the contentious 2019 runoff that brought center-right President Luis Lacalle Pou to office and ended 15 years of rule by Uruguay’s left-leaning Broad Front by a razor-thin margin. Álvaro Delgado, the incumbent party’s candidate who won nearly 27% in the first round of voting on Oct. 27, has campaigned under the slogan “re-elect a good government." Other conservative parties that make up the government coalition — in particular, the Colorado Party that came in third place last month — notched 20% of the vote collectively, enough to give Delgado an edge over his challenger. Yamandú Orsi from the Broad Front, who took 44% of the vote in the general election, is promising to forge a “new left” in Uruguay that draws on the memory of stability and economic growth under his Broad Front coalition, which presided over pioneering social reforms that won widespread international acclaim from 2005-2020, including the legalization of abortion, same-sex marriage and sale of marijuana . With inflation easing and the economy expected to expand by some 3.2% this year, according to the International Monetary Fund, surveys show that Uruguayans remain largely satisfied with the administration of Lacalle Pou, who constitutionally cannot run for a second consecutive term. But persistent complaints about sluggish growth, stagnant wages and an upsurge in violent crime could just as easily add the small South American nation to a long list of places this year where frustrated voters have punished incumbents in elections around the world. With most polls showing a virtual tie between Delgado and Orsi, analysts say the vote may hinge on a small group of undecided voters — roughly 10% of registered voters in the nation of 3.4 million people. “Neither candidate convinced me and I feel that there are many in my same situation,” said Vanesa Gelezoglo, 31, in the capital, Montevideo, adding she would make up her mind at “the last minute.” Analysts say the candidates’ lackluster campaigns and broad consensus on key issues have generated extraordinary indecision and apathy in an election dominated by discussions about social spending and concerns over income inequality but largely free of the anti-establishment rage that has vaulted populist outsiders to power in neighboring Argentina and the United States. “The question of whether Frente Amplio (the Broad Front) raises taxes is not an existential question, unlike what we saw in the U.S. with Trump and Kamala framing each other as threats to democracy," said Nicolás Saldías, a Latin America and Caribbean senior analyst for the London-based Economist Intelligence Unit. “That doesn't exist in Uruguay.” Both candidates are also appealing to voter angst over the current government's struggle to stem the rise in violent crime that has shaken a nation long regarded as one of the region’s safest, with Delgado promising tough-on-crime policies and Orsi advocating a more community-oriented approach. Delgado, 55, a rural veterinarian with a long career in the National Party, served most recently as Secretary of the Presidency for Lacalle Pou and promises to pursue his predecessor’s pro-business policies. He would continue pushing for a trade deal with China that has raised hackles in Mercosur, an alliance of South American countries promoting regional commerce. "We have to give the government coalition a chance to consolidate its proposals,” said Ramiro Pérez, a street vendor voting for Delgado on Sunday. Orsi, 57, a former history teacher and two-time mayor from a working-class background, is widely seen as the political heir to former President José “Pepe” Mujica , an ex-Marxist guerilla who became a global icon for helping transform Uruguay into one of the region's most socially liberal and environmentally sustainable nations. “He's my candidate, not only for my sake but also for my children's,” Yeny Varone, a nurse at a polling station, said of Orsi. “In the future they'll have better working conditions, health and salaries.” Mujica, now 89 and recovering from esophageal cancer , turned up at his local polling station before balloting even began, praising Orsi's humility and Uruguay’s famous stability. “This is no small feat,” he said of Uruguay's “citizenry that respects formal institutions.” Orsi planned no dramatic changes, and, despite his call for a revitalized left-wing, his platform continues the Broad Front's traditional mix of market-friendly policies and welfare programs. He proposes tax incentives to lure investment and social security reforms that would lower the retirement age but fall short of a radical overhaul sought by Uruguay's unions. The contentious plebiscite on whether to boost pension payouts failed to pass in October, with Uruguayans rejecting generous pensions in favor of fiscal constraint. Both candidates pledged full cooperation with each other if elected. “I want (Orsi) to know that my idea is to form a government of national unity,” Delgado told reporters after casting his vote in the capital's upscale Pocitos neighborhood. He said that if he won, he and Orsi would chat on Monday over some yerba mate, the traditional herbal drink beloved by Uruguayans. Orsi described Sunday's democratic exercise as “an incredible experience" as he voted in Canelones, the sprawling town of beaches and cattle ranches just north of Montevideo where he served as mayor for a decade. “The essence of politics is agreements,” he said. “You never end up completely satisfied.” ___ Associated Press writer Isabel DeBre in Villa Tunari, Bolivia, contributed to this report. Nayara Batschke, The Associated PressPrince Harry and Meghan Markle have no intention of relocating from their Californian base, prepared to contest any potential deportation bids, as disclosed by Express.co.uk. A source with close connections indicated the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have firmly entrenched California as their residence and are resolved to stay despite any risk of expulsion from the United States. "There are no plans [for the Sussexes] to move from the US," asserted one insider. Another source commented: "Harry and Meghan feel at home in California, and they won't be leaving there without a fight." Adding that, "They have a very good legal team, and they have a lot of support behind them to ensure that they will be able to remain in the United States." Currently, Prince Harry, aged 40, is embroiled in legal action regarding his immigration status in the US. In his autobiography 'Spare', he confessed to previous substance use which includes cocaine, cannabis and psychedelic mushrooms; such admissions might lead to a rejection of his visa application. The Heritage Foundation, a right-wing policy institute, is demanding to see Harry's visa documents, insisting that his drug use should have prevented his entry into America, reports the Express . Although a court has recently decided Harry's visa files are to remain private, this aspect could undergo change were Donald Trump to assume the presidency once again. President-elect Trump, who is 78, previously hinted this year he may contemplate deporting Harry should visa-related complications arise. "I wouldn't protect him. He betrayed the Queen. That's unforgivable. He would be on his own," the president-elect remarked at the Conservative Political Action Conference in February. Following Donald Trump's victory, reports have come out suggesting that his past comments about deporting Harry might have worried the Sussexes. However, insiders claim that "Harry and Meghan are not fazed by the comments Trump made because they believe they have done everything correctly," adding, "Meghan is a US citizen, and Archie has just started a new school, so to leave the place they call home isn't even an option." Settled in Montecito since stepping down from Royal duties, the couple has allegedly bought a lavish £3.6 million villa in Portugal, not far from Princess Eugenie's holiday spot. But sources say, "The villa in Portugal is more an investment than anything else and construction hasn't even been completed yet," clarifying that the property is intended as a second home, a haven for vacations, and a wise fiscal endeavour rather than a main residence.ubet63 net 。

So far, 10 of Donald Trump ’s cabinet picks, and seven other appointees, are people who lost political races at one point or another – a higher percentage than the makeup of past administrations. It’s not entirely uncommon for presidents to tap current or former political candidates to hold cabinet or cabinet-level positions, regardless of election success. President Joe Biden tapped former presidential candidate Kamala Harris to serve as vice president and Pete Buttigieg as secretary of transportation- both after losing the Democratic primary. Tom Vilsack, the secretary of agriculture, also unsuccessfully ran for president in 2008. Former Labor Secretary Marty Walsh lost a congressional race in 1996. But it seems Trump - who promised before his first White House stint to surround himself with “the best and most serious people” - has created a noticeable pattern when nominating people to serve in his administration . Marco Rubio, nominated to serve as secretary of state, unsuccessfully ran against Trump in the 2016 presidential election. Pete Hegseth, nominated as secretary of defense, briefly ran in the 2012 Minnesota Senate race – though he withdrew his own candidacy. Linda McMahon, nominated as secretary of education, lost a Connecticut Senate race in 2010 and 2012. Doug Collins, nominated as secretary of veteran affairs, lost the 2021 Georgia Senate special election. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nominated as secretary of health and human services, unsuccessfully ran against Trump in the 2024 presidential election as an Independent candidate, but dropped out before Election Day. Similarly, Doug Burgum, nominated to be secretary of the interior, also had a short-lived failed presidential campaign this past election cycle. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, nominated as secretary of labor, lost a congressional election in Oregon in 2016, 2018 and 2024. Scott Turner, who Trump nominated to serve as secretary of housing and urban development, lost a congressional race in California in 2006. Lee Zeldin, nominated as Environmental Protection Agency administrator, lost a New York congressional race in 2008 and the New York gubernatorial race in 2022. Tulsi Gabbard , nominated to serve as director of national intelligence, unsuccessfully ran in the 2020 Democratic presidential election. Other individuals nominated to serve in Trump’s second administration also follow this pattern. Dr. Mehmet Oz, nominated to serve as head of Medicare and Medicaid, famously lost the 2022 Pennsylvania Senate election to John Fetterman. Matthew Whitaker, nominated as U.S. ambassador to NATO, lost the 2002 Iowa Treasury election and 2014 Iowa senate primary. Pete Hoekstra, nominated as ambassador to Canada, lost the 2010 Michigan gubernatorial primary and 2012 Michigan senate race. Mike Huckabee, nominated as ambassador to Israel, lost the Republican nomination in the 2008 and 2016 presidential elections. Karoline Leavitt, tapped to serve as White House press secretary, lost a New Hampshire congressional race in 2022. Dave Weldon, tapped to head the CDC, lost the 2012 Florida Senate primary and a congressional race in 2024. Vivek Ramaswamy, who co-chairs the advisory committee, the Department of Government Efficiency, also unsuccessfully ran against Trump in the 2024 presidential election. And, of course, Trump himself lost the 2020 presidential election.

Department of Hospitality, Hotel Management and Tourism experts share their expertise on building a more resilient tourism industry December 4, 2024 - by Paul Schattenberg Tourism driven solely by economic considerations can sometimes overlook long-term sustainability, which is why sustainable and regenerative tourism is becoming increasingly essential. Sustainable tourism seeks to balance economic, environmental and social impacts to benefit both the traveler and host community. Because of this more holistic approach, sustainable or regenerative tourism has become a hot topic for both the hospitality industry and academia alike. “As we look to the future of tourism, it is clear we need to develop a model focused on balancing economics with long-term sustainability to offer destinations a long-term path for community development and resource preservation and restoration,” said Brian King, Ph.D., head of the Department of Hospitality, Hotel Management and Tourism in the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. King said sustainable and regenerative tourism offers a more forward-thinking approach — one that prioritizes not just economic gain but also the preservation and restoration of resources and as the empowerment of local communities. “This approach ensures that tourism can continue to thrive without compromising the very things that make destinations worth visiting,” he said. King explained that this understanding of sustainability is increasingly important for the department’s students as they prepare to become the next generation of leaders. They will need to balance the often-competing demands of delivering memorable travel experiences with the responsibility of preserving the very environments and cultures that make those experiences possible. To improve its scholarly efforts on sustainable tourism, the department hired Connor Clark, Ph.D., in 2023 to share his expertise on resilient and thriving communities as well as international hospitality and tourism. Clark explores destination development Clark has devoted much of his career to researching and spreading the word about the many advantages of sustainable or regenerative tourism. His travel and cross-cultural exchange during college study abroad trips were transformative experiences that led him to develop a deeper understanding of hospitality, as well as cultural and agricultural tourism. These experiences set the stage for a career dedicated to sustainable tourism. Much of Clark’s research on sustainable tourism has focused on Latin America, where he has explored what kind of natural and cultural resources give tourism destinations a competitive advantage over others. His fieldwork and research through visits to places like Refúgio Ecológico Caiman in the southern Pantanal of Brazil as well as several cities in the province of Corrientes, Argentina, have helped him understand the delicate balance between resource management, community resilience and tourism development. “My research has evolved to focus on sustainable destination development, especially in rural areas,” he said. “This research focus considers different aspects of tourism development and regenerative tourism, such as managing natural and cultural resources, community resilience and building the capacity of local business owners and other stakeholders.” Bridging global and local challenges in sustainable tourism Clark’s international research also highlights some striking similarities in the sustainability challenges destinations face in both Latin America and Texas, particularly in rural and border communities. “For instance, Big Bend National Park –100 miles from the nearest interstate — is hard to visit for most people due to the distance,” he said. “This same accessibility challenge is present in the Brazilian Pantanal, where tourists must pay a substantial amount of money to travel there from the nearest major airport.” Another similar challenge is inadequate training and resources for local communities to host and engage tourists effectively. “Like some rural areas in Latin America, small rural and border towns in Texas need to work on their welcoming image and ensure their residents are equipped to deliver quality service in hospitality sectors like hotels, restaurants, parks, attractions and other locations that support tourism,” he said. Moreover, he explained how rural communities that heavily depend on the land and its resources for their livelihood face the delicate task of ensuring tourism does not exacerbate other challenges. “To sustain tourism in the long term, it is necessary for those nature-based destinations to maintain and, if necessary, revitalize their landscape to give visitors more opportunities to interact with nature and wildlife,” Clark said. Agritourism: A major opportunity for Texas Looking toward the future, Clark said he sees agritourism as a major opportunity to promote sustainable tourism and hospitality in Texas. “While hunting tourism is already well-established in the state, Texas has an opportunity for a lot of growth in ‘non-consumptive’ types of tourism well suited for the Texas landscapes,” he said. “Activities like hiking, birding, wildlife viewing and horseback riding align perfectly with the resources many Texas ranches already offer. People are hungry to connect with nature and more traditional types of living, and agritourism is a fantastic way to satisfy this hunger.” Clark said that not only do Texas ranches and farms have much to gain from sustainable tourism, but neighboring communities and their shops, restaurants, cafes and hotels also stand to benefit. “My sincere hope is that my research can contribute to the sustainability of rural landscapes and communities,” Clark said. “By better understanding how we can protect our resources and utilize them for sustainable tourism, we can create resilient communities in a drastically changing world.”DOVER, Del. (AP) — Joshua Jones threw for one touchdown and ran for three as North Carolina Central wrapped up the regular season with a 52-10 win over Delaware State on Saturday. The defense also contributed a pair of touchdowns on interceptions, Eric Adams in the first quarter went 37 yards and C.J. Henry went 63 yards in the second. In all the Eagles (8-3, 4-1 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) had five takeaways. Jones had a pair of short scoring runs before the first defensive touchdown for a 21-0 lead in the first quarter. Jones was 11-of-15 passing for 199 yards and ran for 57. J'Mari Taylor rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown. Jaden Sutton ran for 113 yards and a touchdown for the Hornets (1-11, 0-5), who lost their 10th straight.

It’s been nearly 10 years since Brazil produced the dystopian “3%,” its first series for Netflix . Since then, the country has launched an average of two shows a month on the platform, said Elisabetta Zenatti, VP of content for Netflix in Brazil, who announced last year that the streaming giant was investing $165 million (1 billion Reales) in Brazilian productions thru 2023 and 2024. On Nov. 29, Netflix’s most ambitious and expensive Brazilian series, “ Senna ,” launched worldwide. According to the Associated Press, the streamer spent over $170 million on production. Currently ranking number two in Brazil and number six globally in its first week, it’s likely to sit high in Netflix’s Top Ten charts in Brazil and other territories, given the fervent interest in motorsports around the world. “Senna” chronicles the triumphs, setbacks and personal journey of Brazil’s three-time Formula 1 world champion Ayrton Senna, from his Formula Ford beginnings in England to his tragic accident at the San Marino Grand Prix in Imola. “It was a challenge to make as Brazil may have a storied tradition in making telenovelas and films, but not in series, which are not as entrenched,” said Zenatti, who estimates that up to 15 writers were involved in the project. “Senna” was in development for over a decade at Gullane , one of the most prominent production companies in the Portuguese-speaking country, with over 30 years in the biz. “We’ve had a successful trajectory with three major projects in Brazil and internationally: ‘The Beast with Seven Heads,’ ‘Carandiru’ and ‘The Year My Parents Went on Vacation.’ Since then, we’d been searching for a Brazilian project with the ambition to share a national story on a global stage. ‘Senna’ perfectly embodied that vision,” said brothers Caio and Fabiano Gullane. “We wanted to tell the story of his personal life, not just his public persona. When we approached the family, they had already received many other proposals and turned them down. Caio, the Gullane team, and I built a relationship of trust with the family. We had a very clear and aligned vision for the project we wanted to create and how we wanted to portray Ayrton,” Fabiano explained. The project took off soon after Netflix boarded. Cutting-edge technological advancements also helped, given the technical demands of the show, which included 2,000 VFX shots, as well as the use of LED filming technology to provide a more immersive feel of the races. They also took great care to replicate the cars in painstaking detail, tapping the expertise of the Crespi family, with a long tradition in motorsport in Argentina, where three of the four race tracks used in the show were built. The producers commissioned 22 replicas of race cars from different years and teams. “In addition to the cars built specifically for the series, many more were needed to faithfully recreate the races. To achieve this, we developed a technique using adapted chassis that were digitally ‘wrapped’ with different vehicle bodies during post-production,” said the Gullanes. “We started building the cars more than two years before we started shooting. After all, what’s the point in making a series about Senna if we don’t get the cars right? Of course, that would be absurd and also, because I’m a huge motor racing fan,” said showrunner/lead director Vicente Amorim, known for his action thrillers “Motorrad,” Globoplay’s 2019 “The Division,” 2021 revenge tale “Yakuza Princess” and “Santo,” a manhunt thriller for Netflix. “I feel I’d been preparing all my life for this,” he mused. The logistical challenges were overwhelming, as they replicated some 30 different circuits around the world, with units shooting across four countries, amassing 980 hours of footage. Details provided by Netflix show the breadth and scale of the production: ● Filmed in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Northern Ireland ● Post-production and VFX in four countries (U.S., Canada, Spain, Brazil) ● A total of 325 days of shooting between two filming units plus the LED studio ● A core crew of 2,206 people, 569 of them Brazilian ● A total of 3,374 people, including the entire VFX and production team ● A cast of 231 actors from nine different countries, representing 18 nationalities ● 14,446 extras Amorim agrees that while it was a huge logistical undertaking, their biggest challenge lay in “being true to Senna’s essence.” He pointed out: “Telling a story where he is a compelling character for people who don’t know him and that is at the same time is a true representation of who he was in real life, that was the biggest challenge, really.” Lead Gabriel Leone perfectly embodied Senna’s character, he noted. “Netflix and Gullane agreed that this project should be led by Brazilian talent. As a result, from Vicente Amorim’s overall direction to Julia Rezende’s direction, Gustavo Bragança’s screenwriting team and other key artistic leads, all are Brazilian. They executed the series in collaboration with professionals from Argentina, Uruguay, Northern Ireland and the United States during filming, and with teams from the United States, Canada and Spain during post-production,” said the Gullanes. “ ‘ Senna’ undoubtedly reinforces our belief in the ambition of the Brazilian audiovisual industry. It has already established itself strongly in the domestic market and is on its way to carving out a significant presence in the international market,” they added. According to Zenatti, Netflix in Brazil has several new projects in the pipeline. These include “Vini Junior,” a biopic on world-class soccer player Vinicius Jr; “Pssica,” co-directed by Quico and Fernando Meirelles with a script by Braulio Mantovani; and “Caramelo,” about a chef and his mixed breed dog. Seasons 2 of police action series “Criminal Code” and reality show “Stranded with My Mother” are also in the pipeline, as is Season 5 of teen favela drama “Sintonia.” “Projects such as ‘Senna,’ the upcoming ‘100 Years of Solitude’ and ‘The Eternaut’ in Argentina are testament to the talent, the passion and the commitment of the Latin American audiovisual industry,” said Netflix’s VP of Latin American Content, Paco Ramos.

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Arsenal defender Gabriel kept Viktor Gyokeres quiet — then had the audacity to steal the in-demand Sporting Lisbon striker's trademark goal celebration. After heading in Arsenal's third first-half goal in the Champions League on Tuesday, Gabriel linked the fingers of his hands and placed them over his eyes, before laughing with his teammates. It was most likely a dig at Gyokeres, the Sweden striker who has quickly become one of European soccer's hottest properties . That is how Gyokeres celebrates his goals — and he has scored plenty of those this season. Gyokeres has scored 24 goals for Sporting in all competitions and was coming off netting four for Sweden in a Nations League match against Azerbaijan. Earlier in the first half, Gabriel had enjoyed tackling and dispossessing Gyokeres near the Arsenal area — waving both his arms in a gesture to the crowd. Gabriel's goal made it 3-0 to Arsenal at halftime and the English team went on to win 5-1, with Gyokeres failing to score. He did hit the post with a shot late in the game, however — after Gabriel had gone off with an injury. AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccerMonarch Casino stock soars to 52-week high of $86.73
