fishing spots near me The large mysterious drones reported flying over parts of New Jersey in recent weeks appear to avoid detection by traditional methods such as helicopter and radio, according to a state lawmaker briefed Wednesday by the Department of Homeland Security. In a post on the social media platform X, Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia described the drones as up to 6 feet in diameter and sometimes traveling with their lights switched off. The Morris County Republican was among several state and local lawmakers who met with state police and Homeland Security officials to discuss the spate of sightings that range from the New York City area through New Jersey and westward into parts of Pennsylvania, including over Philadelphia. The devices do not appear to be The dronees wereffffflown by hobbyists, Fantasia wrote. Dozens of mysterious nighttime flights started last month and have raised growing concern among residents and officials. Part of the worry stems from the flying objects initially being spotted near the Picatinny Arsenal, a U.S. military research and manufacturing facility; and over President-elect Donald Trump’s golf course in Bedminster. Drones are legal in New Jersey for recreational and commercial use, but they are subject to local and Federal Aviation Administration regulations and flight restrictions. Operators must be FAA certified. Most, but not all, of the drones spotted in New Jersey were larger than those typically used by hobbyists. The number of sightings has increased in recent days, though officials say many of the objects seen may have been planes rather than drones. It’s also possible that a single drone has been reported more than once. Gov. Phil Murphy and law enforcement officials have stressed that the drones don’t appear to threaten public safety. The FBI has been investigating and has asked residents to share any videos, photos or other information they may have. Two Republican Jersey Shore-area congressmen, U.S. Reps. Chris Smith and Jeff Van Drew, have called on the military to shoot down the drones. Smith said a Coast Guard commanding officer briefed him on an incident over the weekend in which a dozen drones followed a motorized Coast Guard lifeboat “in close pursuit” near Barnegat Light and Island Beach State Park in Ocean County. Coast Guard Lt. Luke Pinneo told The Associated Press Wednesday “that multiple low-altitude aircraft were observed in vicinity of one of our vessels near Island Beach State Park.” The aircraft weren't perceived as an immediate threat and didn't disrupt operations, Pinneo said. The Coast Guard is assisting the FBI and state agencies in investigating. In a letter to U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Smith called for military help dealing with the drones, noting that Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst has the capability "to identify and take down unauthorized unmanned aerial systems.” However, Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh told reporters Wednesday that “our initial assessment here is that these are not drones or activities coming from a foreign entity or adversary.” Many municipal lawmakers have called for more restrictions on who is entitled to fly the unmanned devices. At least one state lawmaker proposed a temporary ban on drone flights in the state. “This is something we’re taking deadly seriously. I don’t blame people for being frustrated," Murphy said earlier this week. A spokesman for the Democratic governor said he did not attend Wednesday's meeting. Republican Assemblyman Erik Peterson, whose district includes parts of the state where the drones have been reported, said he also attended Wednesday's meeting at a state police facility in West Trenton. The session lasted for about 90 minutes. Peterson said DHS officials were generous with their time, but appeared dismissive of some concerns, saying not all the sightings reported have been confirmed to involve drones. So who or what is behind the flying objects? Where are they coming from? What are they doing? “My understanding is they have no clue,” Peterson said. A message seeking comment was left with the Department of Homeland Security. Most of the drones have been spotted along coastal areas and some were recently reported flying over a large reservoir in Clinton. Sightings also have been reported in neighboring states. James Edwards, of Succasunna, New Jersey, said he has seen a few drones flying over his neighborhood since last month. “It raises concern mainly because there's so much that's unknown,” Edwards said Wednesday. “There are lots of people spouting off about various conspiracies that they believe are in play here, but that only adds fuel to the fire unnecessarily. We need to wait and see what is really happening here, not let fear of the unknown overtake us." —— AP reporters Mike Catalini in Morrisville, Pennsylvania; and Wayne Parry in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, contributed to this report.

New £15 Million Government Fund To Help Charities Get Spare Produce To Those In NeedCustomers browse cosmetic shelves at a store in Seoul, Dec. 2. Yonhap By Lee Yeon-woo Cosmetics stocks, which are highly sensitive to demand in the Chinese market, are rallying on growing expectations that the Chinese government may announce additional economic stimulus measures. According to the Korea Exchange, Wednesday, Amorepacific ended the market at 111,100 won ($77.57), a 4.12 percent increase compared to Tuesday, continuing its upward trend from the previous trading day. Key domestic cosmetics stocks, such as Tonymoly, Kolmar Korea, BBIA and APR, are also on an upward trajectory, with respective gains of 3.99 percent, 2.81 percent, 5.12 percent and 1.86 percent. Their rally — a rare phenomenon in the otherwise-stagnant domestic stock market suffering from last week's martial law fiasco — came after the Chinese Communist Party's meeting, Tuesday, chaired by President Xi Jinping. At the meeting, participants emphasized the importance of implementing more proactive fiscal policies and moderately accommodative monetary policies starting next year. All eyes are now on whether additional stimulus measures, such as the issuance of special government bonds, will be unveiled during the annual conference, scheduled for Wednesday to Thursday. "Even cosmetics companies with limited exposure to the Chinese market have recently experienced a broad surge in stock prices," Shinhan Securities analyst Park Hyun-jin said. "Towards the end of the year and the beginning of the next, changes in the macroeconomic environments of the U.S. and China are expected to act as key events influencing sector volatility."Functional Food Ingredients Market to Grow by USD 53.14 Billion (2023-2028), Segmented by Product, Application, and Geography, with AI Impacting Market Trends - Technavio

DALLAS — A new airplane engine repair facility is coming to Dallas with the help of $500,000 from the city. HAECO Global Engine Support will open in a 290,000-square-foot, newly-built facility at 11124 Goodnight Lane that’s expected to bring 170 jobs to the city and be the company’s “primary location in North America for ‘engine hospital’ repair work.” The total cost of the project is $17.5 million. HAECO Global will relocate 76 existing full-time jobs to the new Dallas facility from Carrollton and create an additional 94 jobs, for a total minimum job count of 170. “This project is a true win-win for our community,” said Dallas Interim City Manager Kimberly Bizor Tolbert. “HAECO Global will provide high-skill and high paying jobs in Dallas, and by participating in a workforce partnership program, we are building a pipeline of Dallas workers for Dallas jobs.” “We are thrilled to be partnering with the City of Dallas in this exciting venture,” said James Clarke, executive vice president of HAECO Global Engine Support. “This new location represents a tremendous opportunity for growth, both for our company and for the local community. It will bring high-quality jobs and support the development of cutting-edge technology that will shape the future of aviation. Working with the leadership of the City’s business development group within the Office of Economic Development has been an extremely positive experience.” The City of Dallas will provide up to $500,000 in economic development incentive grant funding if HAECO Global hires a workforce for the newly created jobs that consists of a minimum of 35% Dallas residents. If the local hiring is at least 25% Dallas residents, the grant will be $350,000. The 170 jobs must be created by Dec. 31, 2027 to receive the funding.APPLIED THERAPEUTICS ALERT: Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. Announces That A Class Action Lawsuit Has Been Filed Against Applied Therapeutics, Inc. And Encourages Investors To Contact The FirmNEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes fell Thursday following some potentially discouraging data on the economy . The S&P 500 slipped 0.5% for its fourth loss in the last six days. It’s a pause for the index, which has been rallying toward one of its best years of the millennium . The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 234 points, or 0.5%, and the Nasdaq composite sank 0.7% from its record set the day before. A report early in the morning said more U.S. workers applied for unemployment benefits last week than expected. A separate update, meanwhile, showed that inflation at the wholesale level, before it reaches U.S. consumers, was hotter last month than economists expected. Neither report points to imminent disaster, but they dilute one of the hopes that’s driven the S&P 500 to 57 all-time highs so far this year : Inflation is slowing enough to convince the Federal Reserve to keep cutting interest rates, while the economy is remaining solid enough to stay out of a recession. Of the two reports, the weaker update on the job market may be the bigger deal for the market, according to Chris Larkin, managing director, trading and investing, at E-Trade from Morgan Stanley. A surge in egg prices may have been behind the worse-than-expected inflation numbers. “One week doesn’t negate what has been a relatively steady stream of solid labor market data, but the Fed is primed to be sensitive to any signs of a softening jobs picture,” he said. Traders are widely expecting the Fed will ease its main interest rate at its meeting next week. If they’re correct, it would be a third straight cut by the Fed after it began lowering rates in September from a two-decade high. It’s hoping to support a slowing job market after getting inflation nearly all the way down to its 2% target. Lower rates would give a boost to the economy and to prices for investments, but they could also provide more fuel for inflation. A cut next week would have the Fed following other central banks, which lowered rates on Thursday. The European Central Bank cut rates by a quarter of a percentage point, as many investors expected, and the Swiss National Bank cut its policy rate by a steeper half of a percentage point. Following its decision, Switzerland’s central bank pointed to uncertainty about how U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s victory will affect economic policies, as well as about where politics in Europe is heading. Trump has talked up tariffs and other policies that could upend global trade. He rang the bell marking the start of trading at the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday to chants of “USA.” On Wall Street, Adobe fell 13.7% and was one of the heaviest weights on the market despite reporting stronger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected. The company gave forecasts for profit and revenue in its upcoming fiscal year that fell a bit shy of analysts’. Warner Bros. Discovery soared 15.4% after unveiling a new corporate structure that separates its streaming business and film studios from its traditional television business. CEO David Zaslav said the move “enhances our flexibility with potential future strategic opportunities,” raising speculation about a spinoff or sale. Kroger rose 3.2% after saying it would get back to buying back its own stock now that its attempt to merge with Albertsons is off . Kroger’s board approved a program to repurchase up to $7.5 billion of its stock, replacing an existing $1 billion authorization. All told, the S&P 500 fell 32.94 points to 6,051.25. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 234.55 to 43,914.12, and the Nasdaq composite sank 132.05 to 19,902.84. In stock markets abroad, European indexes held relatively steady following the European Central Bank’s cut to rates. Asian markets were stronger. Indexes rose 1.2% in Hong Kong and 0.8% in Shanghai as leaders met in Beijing to set economic plans and targets for the coming year. South Korea’s Kospi rose 1.6% for its third straight gain of at least 1%, as it pulls back following last week’s political turmoil where its president briefly declared martial law. In the bond market, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose to 4.33% from 4.27% late Wednesday. AP Business Writers Matt Ott and Elaine Kurtenbach contributed.

Middle East latest: Israeli strikes in Gaza kill more than 50 people, including kidsFERGUS FALLS, Minn. (AP) — A jury convicted two men on Friday of charges related to human smuggling for their roles in an international operation that led to the deaths of a family of Indian migrants who froze while trying to cross the Canada-U.S. border during a 2022 blizzard. Harshkumar Ramanlal Patel, 29, an Indian national who prosecutors say went by the alias “Dirty Harry,” and Steve Shand, 50, an American from Florida, were part of a sophisticated illegal operation that has brought increasing numbers of Indians into the U.S., prosecutors said. They were each convicted on four counts related to human smuggling, including conspiracy to bring migrants into the country illegally. “This trial exposed the unthinkable cruelty of human smuggling and of those criminal organizations that value profit and greed over humanity,” Minnesota U.S. Attorney Andy Luger said. “To earn a few thousand dollars, these traffickers put men, women and children in extraordinary peril leading to the horrific and tragic deaths of an entire family. Because of this unimaginable greed, a father, a mother and two children froze to death in sub-zero temperatures on the Minnesota-Canadian border,” Luger added. The most serious counts carry maximum sentences of up to 20 years in prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office told The Associated Press before the trial. But federal sentencing guidelines rely on complicated formulas. Luger said Friday that various factors will be considered in determining what sentences prosecutors will recommend. Federal prosecutors said 39-year-old Jagdish Patel; his wife, Vaishaliben, who was in her mid-30s; their 11-year-old daughter, Vihangi; and 3-year-old son, Dharmik, froze to death Jan. 19, 2022, while trying to cross the border into Minnesota in a scheme Patel and Shand organized. Patel is a common Indian surname, and the victims were not related to Harshkumar Patel. The couple were schoolteachers, local news reports said. The family was fairly well off by local standards, living in a well-kept, two-story house with a front patio and a wide veranda. Experts say illegal immigration from India is driven by everything from political repression to a dysfunctional American immigration system that can take years, if not decades, to navigate legally. Much is rooted in economics and how even low-wage jobs in the West can ignite hopes for a better life. Before the jury’s conviction on Friday, the federal trial in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, saw testimony from an alleged participant in the smuggling ring, a survivor of the treacherous journey across the northern border, border patrol agents and forensic experts. Defense attorneys were pitted against each other, with Shand’s team arguing that he was unwittingly roped into the scheme by Patel. Patel’s lawyers, The Canadian Press reported , said their client had been misidentified. They said “Dirty Hary,” the alleged nickname for Patel found in Shand’s phone, is a different person. Bank records and witness testimony from those who encountered Shand near the border didn’t tie him to the crime, they added. Prosecutors said Patel coordinated the operation while Shand was a driver. Shand was to pick up 11 Indian migrants on the Minnesota side of the border, prosecutors said. Only seven survived the foot crossing. Canadian authorities found the Patel family later that morning, dead from the cold. The trial included an inside account of how the international smuggling ring allegedly works and who it targets. Rajinder Singh, 51, testified that he made over $400,000 smuggling over 500 people through the same network that included Patel and Shand. Singh said most of the people he smuggled came from Gujarat state. He said the migrants would often pay smugglers about $100,000 to get them from India to the U.S., where they would work to pay off their debts at low-wage jobs in cities around the country. Singh said the smugglers would run their finances through “hawala,” an informal money transfer system that relies on trust. The pipeline of illegal immigration from India has long existed but has increased sharply along the U.S.-Canada border. The U.S. Border Patrol arrested more than 14,000 Indians on the Canadian border in the year ending Sept. 30, which amounted to 60% of all arrests along that border and more than 10 times the number two years ago. By 2022, the Pew Research Center estimates more than 725,000 Indians were living illegally in the U.S., behind only Mexicans and El Salvadorans. Jamie Holt, a Special Agent with Homeland Security Investigations, said the case is a stark reminder of the realities victims of human smuggling face. “Human smuggling is a vile crime that preys on the most vulnerable, exploiting their desperation and dreams for a better life,” Holt said. “The suffering endured by this family is unimaginable and it is our duty to ensure that such atrocities are met with the full force of the law.” One juror Kevin Paul, of Clearwater, Minnesota, told reporters afterward that it was hard for the jurors to see the pictures of the family’s bodies. He said he grew up in North Dakota and is familiar with the kind of conditions that led to their deaths. “It’s pretty brutal,” Paul said. “I couldn’t imagine having to do what they had to do out there in the middle of nowhere.” Goldberg reported from Minneapolis.T he Joplin High School Eagles girls basketball team fell 40-32 to Leavenworth High School after a hard fought game Thursday to kick off the 28th annual Freeman Lady Eagle Classic. Joplin moved into the consolation bracket and is back in action at 4:30 p.m. Friday at Kaminsky Gymnasium. It was a slow offensive quarter for Joplin to begin the game, as the Eagles scored only 3 points, struggling with turnovers and missed shots. Leavenworth jumped out to an early lead 7-2 and controlled the game after one quarter of play 9-3. In the second quarter, Joplin started to come alive and got its offense going. Trailing by 6, the Eagles went on a 7-0 run to take their first lead of the game 10-9. Joplin got baskets from Solei Parker and Alissa Owens, who were able to penetrate the lane. For the rest of the second quarter, Joplin and Leavenworth traded baskets, with the Pioneers maintaining a slight edge over Joplin. Due to a couple of baskets late in the quarter, Leavenworth took a 7-point lead into half. Coming out after halftime, Owens started to pick up her game offensively, scoring 5 of Joplin’s 9 third-quarter points. After back-to-back baskets from Joplin courtesy of Aiyana Kroll and Owens, Joplin cut the deficit down to 3, trailing 25-22. Leavenworth was able to get a basket with time running out in the third quarter to push its lead to 5 at 29-24 heading into the fourth quarter. Leavenworth continued its momentum in the fourth quarter with a 7-0 run to make it 36-24. They also were able to get behind the Joplin full-court pressure defense to find some layups under the basket. The Eagles responded with a 7-0 run of their own to cut the deficit down to 5 at 36-31. Leavenworth was able to hold off Joplin in the end after some late free throws to put the game out of reach. Owens led the Eagles with 16 points, with Parker and Kroll each finishing with 6 points. For Leavenworth, it was Layla Brown leading her squad; she finished with 16 points in their win. Joplin will face Carl Junction High School on Friday. Leavenworth advances to the semifinals, where it will face Blue Springs South High School at 7:30 p.m. for a spot in the championship.

IRVING, Texas (AP) — A rape allegation against rapper Jay-Z, whose company Roc Nation has produced some of the NFL's entertainment presentations including the Super Bowl halftime show, won’t impact the league's relationship with the music mogul. “We’re aware of the civil allegations and Jay-Z’s really strong response to that," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday after the conclusion of the league's winter meetings. "We know the litigation is happening now. From our standpoint, our relationship is not changing with them, including our preparations for the next Super Bowl.” A woman who previously sued Sean “Diddy” Combs, alleging she was raped at an awards show after-party in 2000 when she was 13 years old, amended the lawsuit Sunday to include a new allegation that Jay-Z was also at the party and participated in the sexual assault. Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, said the rape allegation made against him is part of an extortion attempt . The 24-time Grammy Award winner called the allegations “idiotic” and “heinous in nature” in a statement released by Roc Nation, one of his companies. The NFL teamed up with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation in 2019 for events and social activism. The league and the entertainment company extended their partnership a few months ago. Kendrick Lamar will perform the Super Bowl halftime show at The Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Feb. 9. Roc Nation and Emmy-winning producer Jesse Collins will serve as co-executive producers of the halftime show. Beyonce, who is married to Jay-Z, will perform at halftime of the Baltimore Ravens-Houston Texans game on Christmas. “I think they’re getting incredibly comfortable with not just with the Super Bowl but other events they’ve advised us on and helped us with,” Goodell said. “They’ve been a big help in the social justice area to us on many occasions. They’ve been great partners.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflSeahawks place RB Kenneth Walker III (ankle) on injured reserve

Elastic NV ($ESTC) shares surged by as much as 27% on Friday after the company’s fiscal second-quarter (Q2) earnings report, covering the quarter ended Oct. 31, comfortably exceeded Wall Street expectations and pleased the majority of analysts on Wall Street. The American-Dutch data analytics company, known for its search applications and generative AI-powered Elasticsearch Relevance Engine (ESRE), showcased strong execution and a rebound in customer demand. On an adjusted basis, Elastic reported a profit of $0.59 a share, on sales of $365 million, beating estimates of $0.38 cents a share on sales of $354 million. The earnings beat led to more than 10 price-target hikes, reflecting optimism around Elastic’s recovery and growth potential. Baird upgraded the stock to ‘Outperform’ from ‘Neutral’ with a new price target of $135 (up from $95), citing Elastic’s turnaround in execution, disciplined pipeline management, and growing generative AI adoption. Rosenblatt raised its target to $130 (from $120), emphasizing Elastic’s ability to recover from Q1 sales disruption and benefit from generative AI application growth. Stifel set a target of $132 (up from $98), describing Q2 as a “rebound quarter” with robust sales execution, multi-year commitments, and improving trends among large customers. Guggenheim increased its target to $120 (from $100), highlighting broad-based consumption improvement and a strong pipeline following Q1 deal closures. Elastic’s ESRE tool has reportedly been instrumental in attracting upgrades from customers, with generative AI applications becoming a focal point. The company’s CEO previously noted that while expenditures on generative AI solutions have not yet become a major revenue driver, Elastic remains well-positioned to capitalize on cost-conscious customers navigating uncertain market conditions. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment flipped to ‘extremely’ bullish early Friday as message volume surged. Retail traders expressed optimism about the stock’s potential for further gains, with some expecting it to reach new heights. Elastic stock has gained just over 3% so far this year.
