Everyone knows the holidays can be a lot for some people. Especially if they can't afford food or presents. But one organization has been working to fix that for 19 years. Faith Based Church of God is having its annual Thanksgiving Food Giveaway from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at 1130 W. Lee on the west side of Burger King. They will give away a variety of food items drive-thru style, with walk-ups welcome. Jerry Dillard, Senior Pastor of the church, said kids from Great Plains Technology Center pack the bags with many different items to be picked up and handed out Saturday. Items to be given out include turkeys, 10 lb. leg quarters, canned food and dressing. "We have different donors that donate the money (and food)," Dillard said. Donors include Walmart, the Key Club and GPTC, Dillard said. The church expects around 1,500 to 2,000 people to collect their goods. "It's a drive thru," Dillard said. "They drive through and get food. Some people walk up and we don't deny them, so we give them food. We have vans that would take them home once they get their food, Cameron Baptist and Central Baptist do that." When it comes to the giveaway, for Dillard, it's personal. "Someone did it for me and basically I'm going to give back," Dillard said. "This time of year, people don't have the provision to buy what they need for Thanksgiving. We want to make sure that everyone has a nice Thanksgiving. That's why we do this." In order to get your fixin's, just hand them your ID and say how many people are in your family.Crown Royal Paints Nashville Purple During "The 58th Annual CMA Awards" Week from launch of Crown Royal 31 Year Old in Partnership with Daniel Diamond to Generous Moment on CMA Awards Stage NASHVILLE, Tenn. , Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In its seventh year as the exclusive whisky partner of the CMA Awards, Crown Royal spread generosity through Music City across the week, culminating in a special announcement on Country Music's Biggest Night.

Qatar tribune Tribune News Network Doha Pre-medical students from Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) learned about the growing importance of medical physics in diagnosis, treatment and patient care during a field trip to Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC). Sixty students in the second year of the pre-medical program visited HMC to learn how rapid advances in technology are making a sound understanding of physics more crucial than ever for a physician. Supervised by Dr. Mohammad Yousef, professor of physics at WCM-Q, the students visited HMC’s state-of-the-art National Centre for Cancer Care and Research (NCCCR), one of the region’s most advanced cancer hospitals. They were welcomed by the centre’s highly trained doctors and medical physics specialists who explained how new technologies, including AI, are making the diagnosis and treatment of cancer far more effective. Dr. Yousef said: “Medical physics has often been considered a niche field in the past but emergence of new technologies and their application in almost all fields of medicine mean that the modern physician must have a good understanding of the concepts and language of physics in order to fully realize the potential of these advances for their patients.” The students saw first-hand how cancer specialists work in large care teams alongside radiation oncologists and other imaging specialists, using the latest generation of medical imaging technology to identify the location of tumours in human tissue with very high levels of accuracy. This accurate mapping allows the team to deliver targeted treatments, eliminating the cancerous cells while minimizing harm to surrounding healthy tissue. The students also learned how AI is now being used to identify cancer cells from medical imaging scans far more quickly and accurately than when the task is performed by humans alone. Physicians who have a good grasp of physics are better able to understand the technical aspects of such technologies and to communicate effectively with the technical team. This definitely translates to optimal levels of patient care, explained Dr. Yousef. He said: “Our curriculum at WCM-Q is carefully designed to produce 21st century physician-scientists who are adept at utilizing advanced new technologies to enhance patient care. A solid grounding in physics, coupled with field trips like this, allow students to see firsthand how these technologies save lives, and therefore become incredibly impactful parts of their training. We are very grateful indeed to our friends and colleagues at Hamad Medical Corporation and the Cancer Care Centre for making us so welcome and showing us the incredible work they do.” Copy 05/12/2024 10NEW YORK, Nov. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against ASML Holding N.V. ASML and certain of the Company's senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in ASML, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting https://www.bfalaw.com/cases-investigations/asml-holding-nv . Investors have until January 13, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in ASML securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and is captioned City of Hollywood Firefighters' Pension Fund v. ASML Holding N.V., et al. , No. 24-cv-8664. What is the Lawsuit About? ASML is a leading supplier to the semiconductor industry, providing photolithography machines to chipmakers that are used in the semiconductor fabrication process. The complaint alleges that ASML repeatedly represented to shareholders that new export controls on semiconductor technology announced by the Dutch government would not have a material effect on ASML's financial outlook, and that ASML was on a path to recovery in its sales. On October 15, 2024, ASML announced earnings significantly lower than expectations. The Company attributed this to a market that was "taking longer to recover" and admitted that "[i]t now appears the recovery is more gradual than previously expected." On this news, the price of the Company's stock fell 16%, from a closing price of $872.27 per share on October 14, 2024, to $730.43 per share on October 15, 2024. Then, during the accompanying earnings call with investors on October 16, 2024, the Company attributed the poor earnings results to "a reflection of the slow recovery in the traditional [semiconductor] end markets as customers remain cautious in the current environment." The Company also disclosed that the decline in ASML's sales to China would also negatively impact the Company's gross margins. On this news, the price of the Company's stock fell 6.4%, from a closing price of $730.43 per share on October 15, 2024, to $683.52 per share on October 16, 2024.
