LAS VEGAS (AP) — Brett Howden scored his 15th goal of the season and Ilya Samsonov stopped 31 shots as the Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Calgary Flames 3-0 on Sunday night. Howden redirected defenseman Alex Pietrangelo’s shot from the top of the slot late in the second period and is now tied with Ivan Barbashev for the team lead in goals. Howden has scored a goal in four of the last five games. Victor Olofsson and Tanner Pearson also scored for the Golden Knights, who have shut out Calgary twice this season, beating them 5-0 on Oct. 28 . Dan Vladar made 34 saves for Calgary. The Golden Knights have now won six straight, the longest active win streak in the NHL, while improving to 25-8-3 on the year. They own a 13-2-1 record against Pacific Division opponents. Calgary (17-12-7) dropped to 4-4-1 against Pacific Division teams. Takeaways Calgary: The Flames played in their fourth back-to-back set following Saturday’s 3-1 win in San Jose. Calgary is 3-1-0 in game one of a back-to-back scenario and dropped to 1-3-0 in game two of back-to-backs. Vegas: The Golden Knights scored twice in the third period and now boast a league-best plus-30 goal differential in the third period. Key Moment Spanning the end of the first period and into the second period, the Golden Knights were successful in staving off a Calgary power play, which included a 5-on-3 for roughly a minute after Howden was given a double-minor for a high stick to Jonathan Huberdeau’s head. Samsonov stopped five shots during the entire sequence. Key stat 200 — Jack Eichel played in his 200th game as a Golden Knight, while Bruce Cassidy coached his 200th game with Vegas. Up next The Flames host Vancouver on Tuesday. Vegas will host Montreal on Tuesday. AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhl
Unlike scores of people who scrambled for the blockbuster drugs Ozempic and Wegovy to lose weight in recent years, Danielle Griffin had no trouble getting them. The 38-year-old information technology worker from New Mexico had a prescription. Her pharmacy had the drugs in stock. And her health insurance covered all but $25 to $50 of the monthly cost. For Griffin, the hardest part of using the new drugs wasn’t access. It was finding out that the much-hyped medications didn’t really work for her. “I have been on Wegovy for a year and a half and have only lost 13 pounds,” said Griffin, who watches her diet, drinks plenty of water and exercises regularly. “I’ve done everything right with no success. It’s discouraging.” In clinical trials, most participants taking Wegovy or Mounjaro to treat obesity lost an average of 15% to 22% of their body weight — up to 50 pounds or more in many cases. But roughly 10% to 15% of patients in those trials were “nonresponders” who lost less than 5% of their body weight. Now that millions of people have used the drugs, several obesity experts told The Associated Press that perhaps 20% of patients — as many as 1 in 5 — may not respond well to the medications. It's a little-known consequence of the obesity drug boom, according to doctors who caution eager patients not to expect one-size-fits-all results. “It's all about explaining that different people have different responses,” said Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford, an obesity expert at Massachusetts General Hospital The drugs are known as GLP-1 receptor agonists because they mimic a hormone in the body known as glucagon-like peptide 1. Genetics, hormones and variability in how the brain regulates energy can all influence weight — and a person's response to the drugs, Stanford said. Medical conditions such as sleep apnea can prevent weight loss, as can certain common medications, such as antidepressants, steroids and contraceptives. “This is a disease that stems from the brain,” said Stanford. “The dysfunction may not be the same” from patient to patient. Despite such cautions, patients are often upset when they start getting the weekly injections but the numbers on the scale barely budge. “It can be devastating,” said Dr. Katherine Saunders, an obesity expert at Weill Cornell Medicine and co-founder of the obesity treatment company FlyteHealth. “With such high expectations, there’s so much room for disappointment.” That was the case for Griffin, who has battled obesity since childhood and hoped to shed 70 pounds using Wegovy. The drug helped reduce her appetite and lowered her risk of diabetes, but she saw little change in weight. “It’s an emotional roller coaster,” she said. “You want it to work like it does for everybody else.” The medications are typically prescribed along with eating behavior and lifestyle changes. It’s usually clear within weeks whether someone will respond to the drugs, said Dr. Jody Dushay, an endocrine specialist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Weight loss typically begins right away and continues as the dosage increases. For some patients, that just doesn't happen. For others, side effects such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea force them to halt the medications, Dushay said. In such situations, patients who were counting on the new drugs to pare pounds may think they’re out of options. “I tell them: It's not game over,” Dushay said. Trying a different version of the new class of drugs may help. Griffin, who didn't respond well to Wegovy, has started using Zepbound, which targets an additional hormone pathway in the body. After three months of using the drug, she has lost 7 pounds. “I'm hoping it's slow and steady,” she said. Other people respond well to older drugs, the experts said. Changing diet, exercise, sleep and stress habits can also have profound effects. Figuring out what works typically requires a doctor trained to treat obesity, Saunders noted. “Obesity is such a complex disease that really needs to be treated very comprehensively,” she said. “If what we’re prescribing doesn’t work, we always have a backup plan.” The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group.

However, the jubilation was short-lived as reports emerged that the patient had taken a turn for the worse and was now fighting for their life in critical condition. This sudden and unexpected downturn has sent shockwaves throughout the valley, prompting questions and concerns about the nature of the illness and the effectiveness of the treatments being administered.Tilray Inc (NASDAQ: TLRY) chief executive Irwin Simon expects the recreational use of cannabis to be legalised on a federal level under Donald Trump as the President of the United States. Advertisement In other words, he expects legalisation to occur over the next four years. Advertisement Simon made that prediction in a recent . But even if the President-elect moves in that direction, there’s reason to believe that Tilray stock may continue to struggle. Let’s explore why. Why has Tilray faced challenges in Germany? The recreational use of cannabis has already been legalised in two major markets: Germany and Canada – but both of them still have strict regulations in place. In Germany, for example, it remains illegal to set up a cannabis store. So, if you want it, you’ll have to either grow it by yourself or join a licensed club that is prohibited from accepting more than 500 members. And it’s not like there’s a ton of these clubs spread all over Germany. Plus, the clubs are quite choosy in picking their members as well. So, yes, Germany has legalised the recreational use of cannabis – but the supply within the country remains rather restricted. That’s why Tilray hasn’t been immensely successful in Germany, and why the disappointment may replicate even if the US legalises cannabis on federal level. Why has TLRY faced challenges in Canada? Competition has been a major hurdle for Tilray in Canada ever since the country legalised the recreational use of cannabis in 2018. If the US follows suit, a number of other players may join the race, potentially leaving Tilray scrambling for market share. Plus, strong local competitors with established relationships and supply chains could keep things challenging for TLRY. Finally, the possibility that at least some of its potential customers will continue to tap on illegal channels to acquire cannabis to bypass regulations can’t entirely be ruled out either. So, federal legalisation of cannabis in the United States would sure be a meaningful event for Tilray stock. But the challenges it has been facing all along could present in the US as well – limiting its upside potential in 2025. versus its year-to-date high at writing. Is it worth investing in Tilray stock? Tilray’s financials have been rather inconsistent in recent years. And if federal legalisation is what it needs to change that, then TLRY remains a speculative investment at best since it’s only a prediction for now that Trump 2.0 will prove to be a tailwind for the cannabis market. The incoming government itself has not indicated any such plans so far. That’s part of the reason why Wall Street analysts currently have a consensus “hold” rating on Tilray stock that does not pay a dividend either at writing.As the investigation unfolds and the extent of the damage is assessed, Alibaba Cloud faces the challenge of rebuilding trust and confidence in its services and infrastructure in the wake of this unexpected and devastating event.

In conclusion, Baron Leopold von Leralz's tenure as postmaster has been marred by a series of missteps that have eroded trust in his leadership and tarnished the reputation of the postal service.

In a message to the American people, the King expressed “great sadness” at the news of Mr Carter’s death, describing him as “a committed public servant” who “devoted his life to promoting peace and human rights”. He added: “His dedication and humility served as an inspiration to many, and I remember with great fondness his visit to the United Kingdom in 1977. “My thoughts and prayers are with President Carter’s family and the American people at this time.” Mr Carter, a former peanut farmer, served one term in the White House between 1977 and 1981 and spent his post-presidency years as a global humanitarian, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Sir Keir Starmer said Mr Carter had “lived his values in the service of others to the very end” through “decades of selfless public service”. Praising a “lifelong dedication to peace” that saw him win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, Sir Keir added: “Motivated by his strong faith and values, President Carter redefined the post-presidency with a remarkable commitment to social justice and human rights at home and abroad.” Tributes to Mr Carter followed the announcement of his death by his family on Sunday, more than a year after he decided to enter hospice care. His son, Chip Carter, said: “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love.” US President Joe Biden, one of the first elected politicians to endorse Mr Carter’s bid for the presidency in 1976, said the world had “lost an extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian”. He said: “Over six decades, we had the honour of calling Jimmy Carter a dear friend. But, what’s extraordinary about Jimmy Carter, though, is that millions of people throughout America and the world who never met him thought of him as a dear friend as well. “With his compassion and moral clarity, he worked to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil rights and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless, and always advocate for the least among us.” Vice President Kamala Harris said Mr Carter “reminded our nation and the world that there is strength in decency and compassion”. “His life and legacy continue to inspire me — and will inspire generations to come,” she said. “Our world is a better place because of President Carter.” Other UK politicians also paid tribute to Mr Carter. Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said he was “an inspiration” who “led a truly remarkable life dedicated to public service with a genuine care for people”. Scottish First Minister John Swinney described the former president as “a good, decent, honest man who strove for peace in all that he did”, while Welsh First Minister said he was “a remarkable man” and “a humanitarian and scholar”. Former prime minister Sir Tony Blair said Mr Carter’s “life was a testament to public service”. He added: “I always had the greatest respect for him, his spirit and his dedication. He fundamentally cared and consistently toiled to help those in need.” Gordon Brown, another former prime minister, said it was a “privilege” to have known Mr Carter, who “will be mourned, not just in America, but in every continent where human rights are valued”. Mr Carter is expected to receive a state funeral featuring public observances in Atlanta, Georgia, and Washington DC before being buried in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. A moderate democrat born in Plains in October 1924, Mr Carter’s political career took him from the Georgia state senate to the state governorship and, finally, the White House, where he took office as 39th president in the wake of the Watergate scandal and the Vietnam War. His presidency saw economic disruption amid volatile oil prices, along with social tensions at home and challenges abroad including the Iranian revolution that sparked a 444-day hostage crisis at the US embassy in Tehran. But he also brokered the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel, which led to a peace treaty between the two countries in 1979. After his defeat in the 1980 presidential election, he worked more than four decades leading The Carter Centre, which he and his late wife Rosalynn co-founded in 1982 to “wage peace, fight disease, and build hope”. Under his leadership, the Carter Center virtually eliminated Guinea Worm disease, which has gone from affecting 3.5 million people in Africa and Asia in 1986 to just 14 in 2023. Mrs Carter, who died last year aged 96, had played a more active role in her husband’s presidency than previous first ladies, with Mr Carter saying she had been “my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished”. Earlier this year, on his 100th birthday, Mr Carter received a private congratulatory message from the King, expressing admiration for his life of public service

(AP) — New Jersey gambling regulators have handed out $40,000 in fines to two sportsbooks and a tech company for violations that included taking bets on unauthorized events, and on games that had already ended. In information made public Monday, the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement fined DraftKings $20,000. It also levied $10,000 fines on Rush Street Interactive NJ and the sports betting technology company Kambi. According to documents released by the state, Rush Street accepted 16 bets worth $1,523 in Nov. 2021 on a college basketball game between the University of North Carolina-Asheville and Tennessee Tech University after the game had already concluded with a UNC victory. Kambi told the enforcement division that a trader had failed to manually remove that game from its betting markets, saying it had stopped receiving messages from its own sports data provider due to a network connectivity error. Kambi said it has updated its guidelines and retrained its traders to prevent a recurrence. Kambi, which is based in Malta, did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment Monday. Rush Street declined comment, and DraftKings had no immediate comment Monday. DraftKings stopped using Kambi in 2021. In March 2022 Rush Street took seven bets totaling just under $2,900 on three Magic City Jai Alai games after the results were already known. Kambi told the division it experienced a connectivity issue that allowed the bets to be accepted after the games were over. An explanation of what Kambi did to address the situation was blacked out in documents released by the division. A month earlier Rush Street took 13 wagers worth $8,150 with pre-match odds on a Professional Golf Association match after the event had already begun. In this case, Kambi told the division a newly hired trader failed to enter the correct closing time time for bets on the event. The trader and a supervisor underwent retraining. DraftKings was fined for taking bets on unapproved events including Russian basketball for nine months in 2020 and 2021. It eventually voided over $61,000 in bets and returned the money to customers after being directed to do so by the state. In this case, Kambi told the division it misidentified this particular Russian basketball league as one that was approved for wagering in New Jersey. DraftKings told the state it did not catch the error, either. In 2020, DraftKings accepted 484 wagers on unapproved table tennis matches. Kambi incorrectly enabled the events for wagering without conditions required by the state, the division said. In Feb. 2022, the division said DraftKings took pre-season NFL bets involving specific players but did not give the state specific information on what information was to be included in the bets, drawing 182 wagers worth nearly $7,000 that were later voided and refunded to customers.

Designer: and The form of the speaker takes inspiration from the humble doorknob, an object universally associated with control and access. Just as turning a doorknob opens a door, rotating REVOLVE adjusts the sound. This tactile design not only feels natural but also invites a sense of exploration. Equipped with silicone pressure pads, the speaker can attach to walls, creating a unique echo chamber effect. REVOLVE isn’t just a tool for listening, it’s an invitation to shape how sound interacts with your environment, turning a simple speaker into a doorway to new auditory experiences. Spin is a supplementary battery that reimagines the charging experience with a nod to the nostalgic charm of cassette tapes. The battery device features a rotating disk that moves as electricity flows, visually representing the direction of the charge. This dynamic motion is both functional and engaging, transforming a mundane activity into a sensory experience. By merging analog familiarity with modern technology, SPIN bridges the gap between past and present, creating a product that doesn’t just charge your devices but also sparks a moment of joy in the process. Inspired by the mechanics of a tape measure, this torch light allows users to adjust brightness intuitively. Stretching the cable feels as natural as measuring a length of fabric or wood, with the brightness increasing as the wire extends. This clever design not only simplifies light control but also makes it engaging and satisfying. Whether you need a subtle ambiance or a bright workspace, EXTEND lets you tailor your lighting with the ease of a familiar motion, turning illumination into an interactive and creative act. ROTATE reinvents the conventional extension cord by borrowing from the design of a gas valve. Instead of a standard switch, the valve rotates to open or close the circuit, visually communicating the flow of electricity. This intuitive design makes managing power both simple and tactile. By integrating a motion many users already understand, ROTATE transforms a routine task into a moment of control and mastery, reminding us that even the most utilitarian tools can offer a sense of satisfaction. The BEHAVIORAL (instincts) series exemplifies how thoughtful design can enhance the user experience, creating products that go beyond functionality to leave lasting impressions. Each product taps into familiar behaviors and sensory engagement, making interactions intuitive and enjoyable. By prioritizing the intersection of instinct and learning, these tools demonstrate that great design doesn’t just solve problems, it enriches daily life.[word count: 547]LoP Bauri eyes victory in Chandankiyari as exit polls hint at BJP-led alliance triumph in Jharkhand
