Art has historically served as a salve for Black folks in times of despair. And for many of us, and removed its shoes following the Nov. 5 election of President-elect Donald Trump. Hence the impact of this now-viral image of a group of Black women watching the world burn against an orange backdrop, which has certainly been the talk of at least one of your group chats or social media feeds this week. The feedback — divided firmly by age group, which we’ll get into in a second — has ranged from “this is powerful” to “why is the cast of ‘Set it Off’ watching 9/11 happen?” The image, created by Atlanta-based influencer and content creator Nikki Free, definitely evokes the frame of the “Set it Off” foursome . Flames and billowing smoke emerge from skyscrapers as the women sit on top of an American flag. One of them wears a shirt reading “92%,” which obviously represents the 92% of Black women voters who supported the candidacy of Vice President Kamala Harris. Created using AI, the image now sits in the pantheon of viral Black art, filed alongside . Free, a self-described “50+ fashionista,” , saying she had originally created the image with AI and posted in the comments of a friend “to represent how I and so many other are feeling. “Somehow, it struck a collective nerve, going viral in ways I didn’t foresee,” Free wrote. “Right now, many Black women are feeling exhausted—disappointed, let down, and tired of always being the moral compass for a nation that seems to reject us at every turn.” “As this country cracks under the weight of cruelty and chaos, we are choosing something different this time,” she continued. “We are stepping back, standing on the sidelines, and prioritizing ourselves. For once, we’re embracing the power of rest, healing, and self-preservation. It’s long overdue.” What’s notable about the women sitting on the skyscraper is who’s praising it and who’s not. On Facebook — the domain of social media users over age 50 — our moms and aunties are loving the image....share the same fed-up sentiment about the election results that the art is meant to convey. X, on the other hand , questioning and the notable omission of any of the women wearing Harris’ signature silk press. Collectively, after repeatedly being called on to save the country from political turmoil, only to have mud thrown in their face every time. They came out to vote for Harris at a rate that trounced every other demographic — and yet they’re still forced to endure Trump for another four years. How Black women want to communicate that frustration may be the root of this divide: Older folks want to make that intention loud and clear, including viral imagery as part of their ministry, while the younger folks probably want no response as their response. Regardless of how they choose convey it, one thing is certain: Black women — of all ages — are tired.Title: Xiaomi YU7 Set to Hit the Market Next June or July, All-New SUV to Make Debut
In recent years, South Korea has emerged as a popular travel destination for Chinese tourists, with millions flocking to the country to experience its unique culture, stunning landscapes, and delicious cuisine. One significant factor that has contributed to this surge in popularity is the introduction of a visa-free month for Chinese citizens, allowing them to visit South Korea without the hassle of obtaining a visa. This visa-free policy has not only made travel more accessible but has also fostered a deeper connection between the people of South Korea and China.

The is up 21.4% this year amid interest rate cuts, easing inflation, and optimism over Donald Trump’s victory. Meanwhile, the following three Canadian stocks have outperformed the index due to their impressive quarterly performances. Let’s assess their recent performances and growth prospects to determine buying opportunities. Celestica Last month, ( ) reported an impressive third-quarter performance, with its growing by 22% to $2.50 billion. It exceeded the company’s revenue guidance of $2.325-$2.475 billion. Strong growth of 42% in its CCS (Connectivity & Cloud Solutions) segment more than offset a 5% decline in its Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS) segment to drive its sales. Amid increased demand for its storage businesses and HPS (Hardware Platform Solutions) networking switches, the revenue from the CCS segment witnessed substantial growth during the quarter. Supported by its revenue growth, Celestica has posted an adjusted EPS (earnings per share) of $1.04, representing a 60% increase from the previous year’s quarter. Moreover, the demand for (artificial intelligence)-ready data centres is rising amid AI usage growth, thus expanding the addressable market for the company. Given its new launches, including switches and storage controllers, the company could benefit from this market expansion. So, I expect the uptrend in the company’s financials and stock price to continue. Waste Connections ( ) is a solid waste management company operating in the secondary and exclusive markets of the United States and Canada. Last month, it posted an excellent third-quarter performance, with revenue growing by 13.3% to $2.34 billion. A 6.8% price increase, the contribution from the companies acquired over the previous four quarters, and solid waste volume growth boosted its sales. Also, its adjusted net income grew 15.5% to $350 million during the quarter. Moreover, WCN continues to expand its footprint through organic growth and acquisitions. It is building renewable natural gas (RNG) and resource recovery facilities, with the management expecting 12 RNG facilities to become operational in 2026. The company is investing in robotics and optical sorters at recycling facilities that can lower human resources and improve operational efficiencies. Also, the company’s innovative approach to employee engagement and retention could support its growth in the coming quarters. Considering its growth prospects and healthy financials, I believe WCN will outperform over the next three years. WELL Health Technologies ( ) posted an excellent third-quarter performance earlier this month, with its revenue growing by 27% to $251.7 million. Strong organic growth of 23% boosted its sales, while acquisitions contributed 4%. The company witnessed solid double-digit growth across its three segments. It had 1.48 million patient visits and 2.24 million patient interactions, representing a 41% year-over-year growth in both segments. Supported by topline growth, its adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization grew by 16%. Meanwhile, the growing adoption of virtual services, increased usage of software solutions in healthcare, and digitization of patient records have created a multi-year growth potential for WELL Health. The company continues to develop artificial intelligence-powered products that could improve patient outcomes. Its inorganic expansion looks solid, with 17 signed letters of intent and definitive agreements in the pipeline. Along with these growth prospects, the company’s cost-cutting initiatives could improve its profitability and cash flows. So, the company is confident of completing its future acquisitions through cash generated from its operations. Considering all these factors, I expect the uptrend in WELL Health’s stock price to continue.Gov. Walz presents this year's Minnesota Thanksgiving turkeyROME (AP) — Robert Lewandowski joined Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the only players in Champions League history with 100 or more goals. But Erling Haaland is on a faster pace than anyone by boosting his total to 46 goals at age 24 on Tuesday. Still, Haaland's brace wasn't enough for Manchester City in a 3-3 draw with Feyenoord that extended the Premier League champion's winless streak to six matches. Lewandowski’s early penalty kick started Barcelona off to a 3-0 win over previously unbeaten Brest to move into second place in the new single-league format. The Poland striker added goal No. 101 in second-half stoppage time. Ronaldo leads the all-time scoring list with 140 goals and Messi is next with 129. But neither Ronaldo nor Messi play in the Champions League anymore following moves to Saudi Arabia and the United States, respectively. “It’s a nice number,” Lewandowski said. “In the past I didn’t think I could score more than 100 goals in the Champions League. I’m in good company alongside Cristiano and Messi.” The 36-year-old Lewandowski required 125 matches to reach the century mark, two more than Messi (123) and 12 fewer than Ronaldo (137). Barcelona also got a second-half score from Dani Olmo. The top eight finishers in the standings advance directly to the round of 16 in March. Teams ranked ninth to 24th go into a knockout playoffs round in February, while the bottom 12 teams are eliminated. Haaland converted a first-half penalty to eclipse Messi as the youngest player to reach 45 goals then scored City's third after the break to raise his total to 46 goals in 44 games. Ilkay Gundogan had City's second. But then Feyenoord struck back with goals from Anis Hadj Moussa, Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko. Inter Milan beat Leipzig 1-0 with an own goal to move atop the standings with 13 points, one more than Barcelona and Liverpool, which faces Real Madrid on Wednesday. The Serie A champion is the only club that hasn't conceded a goal. Bayern Munich beat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 — the same score from the 2020 final between the two teams. PSG ended with 10 men and remained in the elimination zone. The French powerhouse has struggled in Europe after Kylian Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid. Kim Min-jae’s first-half header was enough for Bayern, especially after Ousmane Dembelé was sent off in the 56th with his second yellow. Atalanta moved within two points of the lead with a 6-1 win at Young Boys. Charles De Ketelaere scored two and assisted on three other goals for Atalanta. Also, Arsenal kept red-hot striker Viktor Gyokeres quiet in a 5-1 win over Sporting Lisbon; and Germany star Florian Wirtz scored two goals and was involved in two more as Bayer Leverkusen boosted its chances of finishing in the top eight with a 5-0 rout of Salzburg. AC Milan followed up its win at Real Madrid with a 3-2 victory at last-place Slovan Bratislava in an early match. Christian Pulisic put the seven-time champion ahead midway through the first half by finishing off a counterattack. Then Rafael Leao restored the Rossoneri’s advantage after Tigran Barseghyan had equalized for Bratislava and Tammy Abraham quickly added another. Nino Marcelli scored with a long-range strike in the 88th for Bratislava, which ended with 10 men. Bratislava has lost all five of its matches. Argentina World Cup winner Julian Alvarez scored twice and Atletico Madrid routed Sparta Prague 6-0 in the other early game. Alvarez scored with a free kick 15 minutes in and Marcos Llorente added a long-range strike before the break. Alvarez finished off a counterattack early in the second half after being set up by substitute Antoine Griezmann, who then marked his 100th Champions League game by getting on the scoresheet himself. Angel Correa added a late brace for Atletico, which earned its biggest away win in Europe. Atletico beat Paris Saint-Germain in the previous round and extended its winning streak across all competitions to six matches. AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer

SK hynix reported $8.95 billion in revenue—a 13.1 percent QoQ increase—maintaining its second-place position. Although its HBM3e shipments ramped up, a 1 percent – 3 percent QoQ decline in bit shipments from weaker LPDDR4 and DDR4 sales offset these gains. Micron saw its revenue surge by 28.3 percent QoQ to $5.78 billion, driven by strong growth in server DRAM and HBM3e shipments, which led to a 13 percent QoQ increase in bit shipments. Nanya Technology faced a more than 20 percent QoQ drop in bit shipments due to weaker consumer DRAM demand and intensified competition in the DDR4 market from Chinese suppliers. Winbond experienced an 8.6 percent QoQ decline in revenue, falling to $154 million, as consumer DRAM demand softened and bit shipments decreased. PSMC reported a 27.6 percent QoQ decline in revenue from its in-house consumer DRAM production. ...

He also urged referees to improve their performance during games. “I’m giving it to Enyimba because they came with a game plan and they got what they wanted,” Mancha told Plateau United’s media. “We played out to our strategy but it was one of those bad days in the office; we dominated but the goals didn’t come but if we continue like this we can make up for the dropped points on the road. “I’m not the type of coach that blames referees but all I know is they have a lot of work to be done and I pray they do the right thing at the right time.” Related Topics: enyimba Mancha NPFL Plateau United Don't Miss It’s unfair – Cristiano Ronaldo names ‘clear’ winner of Ballon d’Or You may like NPFL: Enyimba under pressure in draw against Plateau United – Olanrewaju NPFL: Enyimba shun Christmas celebrations to prepare for Plateau United clash NPFL: Onyekachi Okafor set for Rangers exit NPFL: Akwa United coach Abdullahi reveals plan to escape relegation NPFL: Bendel Insurance won’t lose to Enyimba — Oronsanye NPFL: Rangers ready to make up for lost points against Niger Tornadoes Advertise About Us Contact Us Privacy-Policy Terms Copyright © Daily Post Media LtdItalian Tradition Brings Flavour to Asia with ‘European Art of Taste

By establishing a complete system that encompasses infrastructure development, education, healthcare, technology, and other critical areas, countries can build a solid foundation for sustained growth and development.“They are going to have to pay for my image”: Luigui sends a warning to Skándalo after a fight with Ricky
NoneFOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Following his team’s latest setback, a to the Los Angeles Chargers, Patriots coach Jerod Mayo didn’t hold his tongue about what continue to be New England's most glaring deficiencies. “This is what I told the players, there’s really nothing good to take out of that game today. Just the lack of execution,” Mayo said Saturday to begin his postgame news conference. “We just didn’t play well enough in any phase of the game. No complementary football, and that’s what you get.” At 3-13 with a game to go, this has been a lost season for New England. And that frustration is showing in a locker room that has faith in its coach but also recognizes that major offseason changes are likely coming for a team that has failed to meet even modest expectations this season. “I don’t want to use the same excuse, everyone says, ‘Oh, it’s a young team,’” cornerback Jonathan Jones said. “But it’s just learning that everything’s not going to go your way. That’s in football, in life, how you respond to that adversity is what type of team you’re going to have.” Receiver Demario Douglas expects the roster to look much different next season. “I feel like my two years I’ve been losing, and I feel like it’s time to make a change,” Douglas said. “We’ve got some pieces, we’ll add more pieces next year, and I feel like we could come out and do something. I’m trying to be in the playoffs, I’m trying to go for a run and have a winning season. I’m just tired of losing for real.” What’s working The Patriots currently are in position to secure the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft. That could change with a game to go, but it's a valuable position for a team that appears set at quarterback with rookie Drake Maye and has several needs to fill. What needs help Turnovers continue to plague the Patriots. They had just one on Saturday, a fumble on a botched pitch by Maye. That’s at least one turnover in eight straight games for the rookie. Stock up Offensive lineman Cole Strange made his first start of the season a week after returning from injured reserve following offseason knee surgery. Strange, who played his first 27 NFL games at guard, started at center after Ben Brown was placed in IR with a concussion. Stock down Cole's presence didn't help the Patriots' struggling offensive line, which allowed four sacks and five quarterback hits on Maye. New England has allowed 51 sacks, the fifth most in the NFL. Injuries Maye was evaluated for a head injury in the first quarter but returned. CB Christian Gonzalez left the game with a concussion. Key number 1-6 — The Patriots' record at home this season. They are 2-14 at Gillette Stadium over the past two seasons. Next steps New England hosts AFC East champion Buffalo next weekend in its season finale. ___ AP NFL: Kyle Hightower, The Associated PressABC projects that Democrat Adam Gray will win the race for California's 13th Congressional District , unseating incumbent Republican John Duarte and flipping the final unresolved seat in the 2024 election. With all 435 House races projected, ABC News estimates Republicans will hold 220 seats and Democrats 215 in the 119th Congress. But it's not clear how vacancies -- or, illness or other absences -- will impact the day-to-day division of power when the House convenes on Jan. 3. President-elect Donald Trump initially tapped three House Republicans for positions in his upcoming administration: Florida Reps. Matt Gaetz and Mike Waltz, and New York Rep. Elise Stefanik. Gaetz has already resigned from Congress and withdrew last month from consideration to serve as President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general. And though he won reelection to his seat last month, he said he won't serve another term. MORE | Democrat Adam Gray projected to win California's 13th Congressional District Republicans could have a 217-215 majority while their seats are vacant -- the narrowest GOP majority in history -- and special elections to fill those seats can take months to complete. In this case, any single Republican can hold Johnson hostage: Losing just one Republican on a vote would result in a 216-216 tie. The speaker acknowledged the thin majority, which could pose a challenge in passing Trump's agenda. "Well, just like we do every day here, we've developed an expertise in that. We know how to work with a small majority. That's our custom now," Johnson said. "So, yes -- do the math. We can, we have nothing to spare. But all of our members know that we talked about that today, as we do constantly, that this is a team effort that we've got to all row in the same direction." But several elderly Democrats have missed votes recently, which could give Republicans a little more breathing room next year. In California's 13th District, Duarte conceded to Gray on Tuesday, according to the Turlock Journal. "I'm a citizen legislator, and I didn't plan on being in Congress forever," Duarte told the newspaper. "But whenever I think I can make a difference, I'll consider public service in different forms, including running for Congress again." Gray released a victory statement on X Tuesday evening, extending his gratitude and saying the "final results confirm this district is ready for independent and accountable leadership that always puts the Valley's people ahead of partisan politics." ABC News' Marilyn Heck and Benjamin Siegel contributed to this report.
