Visionary Broadband said eff orts to bring high-speed fiber internet to Whitehall are underway through the ConnectMT program. Wyoming-based Visionary said a similar service was provided to Hardin. These projects, funded in part by federal Capital Projects Fund grants, address a longstanding need in communities that have been underserved due to economic and geographic challenges. Visionary Broadband said its eff orts underscore the company's mission to connect hard-to-reach communities with reliable, high-speed internet and a larger commitment to delivering broadband to communities that have been overlooked by other providers due to geographic or economic challenges. Whitehall Mayor Mary Hensleigh praised the project. "For years, families and businesses in Whitehall have faced challenges keeping up with advancing technology — whether it's connecting to video meetings for work or streaming movies at home. Now, thanks to this partnership, we are part of the digital future. This project will drive economic opportunities and improve the quality of life for everyone in our community," she said. "We've always believed that no matter how small or remote a community is, it deserves access to the same opportunities as any other," Visionary Broadband CEO Brian Worthen said in a news release. The fiber network will support gigabit-speed connections.
Following recent changes in the Ministry of Culture’s leadership, notably the appointment of Jamal Eissa as the new head of censorship of artistic works, replacing Dr. Khaled Abdel-Jalil, I will not delve into the reactions or reasons behind this decision or other internal ministry discussions. Instead, I aim to explore what censorship should look like in an open world shaped by rapid technological advancements. In recent decades, the world has witnessed tremendous technological growth, transforming how we express ourselves artistically. We now live in an interconnected world that transcends geographical and cultural boundaries, where ideas and artistic works travel at the speed of light. Artistic creation is no longer confined to cinemas or traditional theatre stages but has become accessible on the small screens we carry in our pockets. This new reality poses significant challenges to traditional censorship. Censorship of artistic works has historically aimed to protect societal values and guide creativity within the boundaries of ethics and cultural standards. However, in this age of technological explosion, traditional censorship methods have become inadequate, sometimes unable to keep pace with the rapid rate of change. The landscape has changed dramatically; artistic content is now digital, cross-border, and multidimensional, placing censorship before difficult questions about its role and methods in a technology-dominated era. In the past, censorship exerted significant control over public content by deleting specific scenes or banning entire works. Media channels were limited, and imposing rules and regulations was straightforward. Today, this paradigm has shifted. Anyone can create and publish content on platforms like YouTube or TikTok, reaching millions worldwide. The traditional intermediary between creators and audiences has been eliminated, making it difficult—if not impossible—to monitor the vast volume of content. The openness enabled by the internet is neither an unmitigated blessing nor an unqualified curse. It offers immense opportunities for creativity and innovation but also facilitates the spread of harmful or offensive content. Here lies censorship’s dilemma: how can it protect societal values without constraining freedom of expression? How can it keep pace with technological advancements without appearing to fight a losing battle? Censorship undoubtedly needs to redefine its role in this digital age. It is no longer merely a tool for prevention or suppression but must evolve into a means of guidance and education. Censorship in the technological era should act as a partner in creativity rather than an adversary. Instead of resisting the technological tide, it should leverage these advancements to develop new tools that enable it to function effectively. One critical area for development is a deeper understanding of technology. Advances in artificial intelligence and data analysis can offer innovative solutions for censorship. For instance, intelligent algorithms could analyze artistic content and assess its suitability for target audiences without requiring direct human intervention. However, this does not mean eliminating the human element entirely. Instead, it involves providing tools that help make more accurate and objective decisions. In addition to technological tools, censorship requires flexible legislation that can adapt to rapid changes. Laws must evolve to accommodate the cultural and social diversity of today’s world. No single society can impose its standards on the entire globe, but laws can respect cultural specificities while preserving shared human values. Perhaps the most significant future role of censorship will not be in prevention or suppression but in education. In an open world, access to content cannot be entirely prevented, but people can be taught how to engage with it critically. Censorship should become a partner in media literacy, helping the public understand the content they consume and fostering their ability to distinguish between constructive and harmful material. At the same time, censorship must balance freedom of expression with the protection of societal values. Achieving this balance is no small task but is essential. Freedom is neither absolute nor subject to unrestrained suppression. Creativity requires a free space to flourish, but this space must be responsible, respecting others’ rights and reflecting shared human values. Censorship in the age of technology and open worlds is a challenging task but not an impossible one. It demands a new vision, modern tools, and an approach based on partnership with creators and the public rather than confrontation. Far from being the enemy of creativity, censorship can act as its guardian if it fulfils its role wisely and judiciously. Ultimately, the question remains: are we ready to develop this role? The answer is neither simple nor optional. As the world continues to evolve and creativity soars to new heights, censorship must adapt to become part of this change—a partner in creativity’s journey toward the future.

President Joe Biden said an official state funeral would be held for Carter in Washington. "He was a man of great character and courage, hope and optimism," Biden said. "We will always cherish seeing him and Rosalynn together. The love shared between Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter is the definition of partnership and their humble leadership is the definition of patriotism." President-elect Donald Trump urged everyone to keep the Carter family in their thoughts and prayers. "The challenges Jimmy faced as President came at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans," Trump said in a statement released from his campaign. "For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude." Former president Bill Clinton gave Carter and his wife Rosalynn the Medal of Freedom in 1999. "From his commitment to civil rights as a state senator and governor of Georgia; to his efforts as President to protect our natural resources in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, make energy conservation a national priority, return the Panama Canal to Panama, and secure peace between Egypt and Israel at Camp David; to his post-presidential efforts at the Carter Center supporting honest elections, advancing peace combating disease, and promoting democracy; to his and Rosalynn's devotion and hard work at Habitat for Humanity--he worked tirelessly for a fairer, better world," Clinton and his wife Hillary said in a statement. Former president George W. Bush hailed Carter as a man of deeply held convictions. "President Carter dignified the office," Bush said on social media. "And his efforts to leave behind a better world didn't end with the presidency. His work with Habitat for Humanity and the Carter Center set an example of service that will inspire Americans for generations." Carter served as Georgia's governor from 1971-1975 before becoming president. Under his leadership, the European and Japanese state trade offices were launched, as well as the Georgia Film Commission," Gov. Brian Kemp said. "He and former First Lady Rosalynn Carter's support of the civil rights movement in the place of its birth is also remembered with deep appreciation." Lt. Gov. Burt Jones said Carter exemplified what it meant to be a public servant. "I had the honor of meeting him and his wife, and I will never forget that day," Jones said. "They were kind, wonderful, accepting and exactly what they portrayed every day, two people devoted to lifting up those in their community who needed help the most. President Carter's legacy will live on in the numerous nonprofits, charities and organizations Rosalynn, his family and him started."The TOI Entertainment Desk is a dynamic and dedicated team of journalists, working tirelessly to bring the pulse of the entertainment world straight to the readers of The Times of India.

What a year it was for the stock market in 2024. The ripped higher by more than 27% as the bull market continued for a second year. A large share of those gains came from the "Magnificent Seven" stocks, some of the world's largest tech and companies. These mega-cap companies have market caps ranging from $1.5 trillion to $3.8 trillion, so a positive move for any of these stocks can have an outsized impact on the broader index. Almost all of the Magnificent Seven enjoyed big gains in 2024. With the Magnificent Seven morphing into the Fateful Eight, can these stocks carry the market again in 2025? The Magnificent Seven plus one analyst Michael Hartnett coined the term Magnificent Seven in 2023, grouping several stocks that demonstrated dominance from the financial, market, and technological innovation perspectives. Here's how the Magnificent Seven stocks performed this year through Dec. 25: data by Every stock in the Magnificent Seven outperformed the broader market except , and the average performance of the Magnificent Seven was close to 69%. This is a big deal because the Magnificent Seven accounts for roughly a third of the value of the market-cap weighted S&P 500 and more than 50% of the value of the . Recently, the podcast, hosted by Wall Street veterans Dan Nathan, Guy Adami, Danny Moses, and Liz Young Thomas, coined a new name for a group of key tech giants: Their "Fateful Eight" starts with the Magnificent Seven, but adds chipmaking and software giant . Broadcom's market cap recently surpassed $1 trillion, and the stock is up by more than 45% in the past month. What can we expect from the Fateful Eight in 2025? After an epic year, here are forward earnings ratios for the Fateful Eight companies: data by These are pretty lofty valuations, with breaking away from the pack and and looking more reasonable. In light of that, many market watchers question whether the major indexes will perform well next year, given that these eight companies make up so much of their value. Still, most Wall Street analysts expect the market to continue to perform well in 2025, though not as well as it did over the last two years. With the market up by about 57% over the last two years, it seems improbable that it could replicate such a strong performance for a third consecutive year. However, leading up to the dot-com crash, the market soared for five straight years in the late 1990s, and the tailwinds from AI seem powerful given how big the potential markets are and how impactful AI is expected to be in our daily lives. I think inflation and Treasury yields will play large roles in the performance of these stocks next year. With the 10-year Treasury yield close to 4.6% (as of Dec. 26), investors are certainly concerned about the prospect of inflation reigniting in 2025. The Federal Reserve is projecting only two interest rate cuts in 2025, down from four cuts it previously anticipated. In addition, some worry about the impact that President-elect Donald Trump's policies will have on the economy. That said, better data from the labor market or the Consumer Price Index, which would put more interest rate cuts in play without the prospect of a recession, could lift stocks, particularly those in the tech sector that trade better in a "risk-on" environment. Other market strategists think the Fateful Eight will become defensive plays due to the uncertainty ahead. I expect the market to experience turbulence in 2025. However, I don't expect Broadcom's inclusion in the Fateful Eight will have a significant impact on the group, and I don't expect the Fateful Eight to outperform the Magnificent Seven in 2025 considering the stocks have elevated valuations, tougher earnings comps, and economic challenges from renewed inflation or a potential recession. These stocks may still end 2025 at higher levels than they trade at now, but I wouldn't expect them to deliver booming results like those they put up in 2024.1.

Usually I’ll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, include soap scum. I’ll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls.

I have to admit that I was skeptical that this product was actually going to do anything. I’ve noticed my dishwasher wasn’t cleaning dishes very well lately, and I did everything I could to get it working properly again, but was ready to finally give up and buy a new dishwasher . I bought these tablets thinking they were designed to eliminate odors, but I was willing to give them a shot before buying a whole new dishwasher. I put one in the bottom of the dishwasher last night per the instructions and woke up to completely clean dishes for the first time in weeks. They look perfect. I don’t know why these tablets work but they absolutely did and I am a happy customer!" — B. Turner Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.98 . 16.

Or a fancy version, the Ember temperature-controlled "smart mug," to treat your taste buds like royalty by making sure they only ever taste coffee, hot cocoa, soup, and tea at the *precisely* perfect temperature. The mug will maintain specific heat for up to 80 minutes alone, or however long you want with the warming pad, and both can be easily controlled manually or with presets from an app on your phone. Promising review: "You know that feeling when you sip hot chocolate, and it doesn't burn your mouth but feels hot and warms your chest all the way down? I just found out that that's 141 degrees! (At least for me.) I'm very impressed with this. It maintains the heat and doesn't burn the coffee. If you drink coffee slowly and want to use a mug instead of tumbler — and don't enjoy increasingly lukewarm, then cold, coffee — this is worth it." — Samuel Wilwerding Get it from Amazon for $95.46+ (available in two sizes and 13 colors). 28. A Larq , a self-cleaning water bottle designed with UV-C LED tech that not only purifies water in 60 seconds, but cleans the inner surfaces of the bottle — which it can do up to a full month on a single charge, so you don't have to lift a finger. Reviewers swear by this for making their water taste better, and for keeping water icy cold for hours! Larq is a small business that specializes in water purification products. Promising review: "We fill large bottles up every day and keep them cold in the fridge. The quality is outstanding. We love them. We had very bad tasting water and this made it taste great. It doesn't smell and it is easy to hold. The smaller one is good for travel. These also saved a lot of money because we didn't have to buy bottled water." — Mary Ann Get it from Amazon for $99+ (available in six colors and two sizes). 29. A set of nonstick, reusable toaster oven bags to let you make grilled cheese, paninis, and toasted sammies right in the toaster. (Psst — you can also use these to reheat french fries, pizza, and even mini tacos , and get all that glorious heat without them getting all soggy from the microwave. Leftovers just got lit.) Promising review: "I had no idea how well these would work. You can put toast or rolls or anything that will fit in the slot — even if it has jelly or spread or anything on it — in the bag in the toaster and it doesn't hurt the toaster, and the food comes out warm." — mare36 Get a four-pack from Amazon for $4.50 . 30. And a set of disposable air fryer liners if your thoughts on cleaning the air fryer can be summed up in two words: "No thanks!!" With these handy liners you can heat up your greasiest leftovers, cook your messiest meat and veggie dishes, and get absolutely lawless with TikTok dessert recipes with *zero* scrubbing and cleanup at the end. Promising review: "I was skeptical but I was also tired of cleaning my air fryer of crumbs all the time. I have a PowerXl air fryer and one of these fits perfectly in there. I can do French fries or any other fried food and discard the liner and the fryer is still nice and clean . I use two when I do juicy items, hot dogs, chicken breast, sausage and when I'm done I take out the meat and lift out the liners and all the gross juice comes out with it leaving the fryer ready to clean in the sink with hot water, no gross juice to pour out or get in the sink. I highly recommend. " — Kevin M. Harer Get a set of 125 from Amazon for $12.99 (available in multiple sizes and shapes for square and round air fryers). 31. A sleek one-button electric wine bottle opener because TBH, nobody has time to lament a cork getting stuck in their bottle and google a bunch of hacks to fix it anymore. This rechargeable beauty will safely pop it open without any of the hassle. Promising review: "I have had this wine bottle opener for over two years and I'm so happy with this purchase. I love the aesthetic and that I can leave on the counter. When you receive the product, you just have to plug it in to charge and then it’s ready to use. It’s convenient to have the foil cutter. It’s also still sharp after two years. In just a few seconds the bottle is opened and I’m ready to enjoy a glass of wine!" — Rebecca Anne Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in six styles). 32. A pancake batter dispenser complete with side measurements so you can mix your ingredients right into it without dirtying up an extra bowl and ladle. Reviewers swear by this to get mess-free, perfectly round and portioned pancakes! Check out a TikTok of the pancake batter dispenser in action. Promising review: "I got this yesterday, and my son asked me this morning if I would make him pancakes! I was happy to oblige, so I could try my new kitchen gadget, and it did not disappoint! I LOVE it! I made the batter right in the container, and it has measurements on it, so I didn't even have to get out my measuring cups . The batter came out perfectly and easily, and when I stopped the flow, it immediately stopped! There was not one dribble of batter anywhere, and the pancakes turned out perfectly! " — Nikki Get it from Amazon for $17.43 . 33. A Wi-Fi–connected, voice-controlled Café Couture Oven with 14 essential cooking modes so you can air fry, CrispFinish, bake, broil, roast, and more, giving you so many truly elite cooking options that — gasp — you may never order takeout again?? Bless this near-sentient oven for doing all your bidding for you! This was featured on Oprah's Favorite Things for 2024 — check out more of Oprah's picks on Amazon's gift shop ! Promising review: "I cannot say enough good things! Size perfect! Not too large, not too small, it's the Goldilocks of countertop ovens. And it's so pretty, too. Does everything you want it to do . After reading reviews about how people just hand wash the basket, I was skeptical, but I have to tell you, no matter what you cook in, it is soooo easy to hand wash and comes out looking new. The air fry option is truly the best I've experienced thus far, not to mention the other, like, 10 cooking options you have. The price is shockingly low for this beauty, and I cannot recommend it enough." — Karen Get it from Amazon for $328.96 (available in three colors). Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
