UConn, football coach Jim Mora agree to contract extension through 2028Political strategist turned activist Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj has failed to open its account in the bypolls of four Bihar Assembly seats of Tarari, Ramgarh, Belaganj, and Imamganj. Despite two years of groundwork, including an intensive Padyatra across Bihar and a campaign brimming with resources and manpower, Prashant Kishor lost all four seats. Jan Suraaj candidates failed to make a significant impact, finishing third in three constituencies and one in the fourth position. In Tarari, Jan Suraaj's candidate Kiran Devi managed only 5,622 votes while the victorious BJP candidate Vishal Prashant secured 78,755 votes and CPI-ML candidate Raju Yadav garnered 68,143 votes. The difference between the BJP candidate and the Jan Suraaj candidate was 73133 votes in Tarari. In Ramgarh, Jan Suraaj candidate Sushil Kumar Singh garnered 6,513 votes while the BJP candidate Ashok Kumar Singh, secured 62,257 votes and BSP candidate Satish Yadav was closely trailing with 60,895 votes. RJD candidate Ajit Singh is further behind, trailing by 35,825 votes. In Imamganj, Jan Suraaj candidate Jitendra Paswan secured 37,103. He fell behind Deepa Manjhi, the winner by 16,332 votes. In Belaganj, Jan Suraaj's Mohd. Amjad, a Muslim candidate, only received 17,285 votes.

Michael Taube: Trudeau's 'feminist' criticism of American voters is delusionalPHILADELPHIA (AP) — Former Temple basketball standout Hysier Miller sat for a long interview with the NCAA as it looked into concerns about unusual gambling activity, his lawyer said Friday amid reports a federal probe is now under way. “Hysier Miller fully cooperated with the NCAA’s investigation. He sat for a five-hour interview and answered every question the NCAA asked. He also produced every document the NCAA requested,” lawyer Jason Bologna said in a statement. “Hysier did these things because he wanted to play basketball this season, and he is devastated that he cannot.” Miller, a three-year starter from South Philadelphia, transferred to Virginia Tech this spring. However, the Hokies released him last month due to what the program called “circumstances prior to his enrollment at Virginia Tech.” Bologna declined to confirm that a federal investigation had been opened, as did spokespeople for both the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Philadelphia. ESPN, citing unnamed sources, reported Thursday that authorities were investigating whether Miller bet on games he played in at Temple, and whether he adjusted his performance accordingly. “Hysier Miller has overcome more adversity in his 22 years than most people face in their lifetime. He will meet and overcome whatever obstacles lay ahead," Bologna said. Miller scored eight points — about half his season average of 15.9 — in a 100-72 loss to UAB on March 7 that was later flagged for unusual betting activity. Temple said it has been aware of those allegations since they became public in March, and has been cooperative. “We have been fully responsive and cooperative with the NCAA since the moment we learned of the investigation,” Temple President John Fry said in a letter Thursday to the school community. However, Fry said Temple had not received any requests for information from state or federal law enforcement agencies. He vowed to cooperate fully if they did. “Coaches, student-athletes and staff members receive mandatory training on NCAA rules and regulations, including prohibitions on involvement in sports wagering," Fry said in the letter. The same week the Temple-UAB game raised concerns, Loyola (Maryland) said it had removed a person from its basketball program after it became aware of a gambling violation. Temple played UAB again on March 17, losing 85-69 in the finals of the American Athletic Conference Tournament. League spokesman Tom Fenstermaker also declined comment on Friday. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

But Julia Child once said something along these lines: the best people love food, and love to eat.” At the Horse and Plow, a dimly-lit historic tavern at the The American Club in Kohler, Wisconsin, the celebrity chef and restauranteur Scott Conant throws back another handful of bar popcorn. He blends in with any other patron there watching the afternoon football game, but in under an hour, Conant will transform onstage at the Kohler Food & Wine Festival for a cooking demonstration to a crowd of fans, eager to learn kitchen secrets from the Chopped judge himself. “It’s taken me a long time to really love that entertainment element of it,” Conant also admits with a smile. “I basically have three jokes on stage, and I use them all the time. I mean, I think that people show up to these things because they’ve seen us on television, or like our restaurants, you know? It’s not the worst thing in the world. No, the worst thing is when they show up and they’re like, ‘are you Bobby Flay?’ [Laughs].” Set amidst the backdrop of Gilmore Girls and greeting card-levels of picturesque fall foliage, Kohler Food & Wine is a relentlessly busy four-day experience where some of the most talented chefs, winemakers, and culinary innovators have gathered to show off for a crowd of hungry visitors from across the country. There are, of course, those who come to learn how to braise the perfect pork tenderloin or how to nose out a good orange wine. But for the most part, food and wine demos are a kind of performance — something echoed by several of the chefs we spoke to at the fest, including Conant’s colleague and fellow TV personality, Andrew Zimmerman. “I believe people come here for entertainment and for pleasure-seeking,” he tells me backstage, in-between demos. It’s his second time at Kohler’s festival too, the chef and philanthropist having hosted a private dinner here 15 years ago. “I mean, there’s alcohol and food on one end, and then there’s the spa and golf courses on the other. I like to talk about capital ‘F’ food issues, but I know that people don’t come here to be lectured. To the ones who are just here to hear me make a couple of fun crock pot jokes? They get that too.” And in a way, it makes sense — in all honesty, how many folks are going to go home and recreate a [checks notes] duck Tsukune with cured egg and crispy venison with tamarind chutney? Maybe they will. But what most will take away are the easier methods between flashier flambés and pan flips, the advice on how to streamline their everyday cooking tasks. Ever hear the joke of what professional chefs make for their own dinner when they go home at the end of a shift? — A cup of ramen noodles. Even the pros want to make their own lives easier in the kitchen, because let’s face it, no one loves having to deal with a pile of dishes and a 16-step recipe at 9 p.m. on a Tuesday. But that got us thinking: what’s making our kitchen lives easier when we get back home? Or at least, what’s promising to? Smart tech . The tech industry is increasingly encroaching on our kitchens in new and intriguing ways. According to consulting firm Spherical Insights, they predict the smart kitchen category is on track to reach $76 billion by 2033 . While the definition of a “smart kitchen” product is pretty loose (and can conjure up images of Disneyland’s Monsanto House of the Future ), it’s largely a catch-all for devices that are either a) Wi-Fi-enabled or b) contain some form of AI (or both). We’ve seen our fair share of everything from self-cleaning air fryers, to app-connected cocktail-mixing machines , but at a certain point we need to ask ourselves: does our stand mixer really need to be connected to an smartphone app ? Arguably, a lot of what’s considered “AI” in kitchen tech (or any consumer home product, for that matter) is just fancy marketing for basic automation. But either way, smart kitchen gear has dominated in recent years at CES , and now it feels like even your toaster oven can adapt to your cooking habits. The buzzy June Oven pioneered the ability to recognize elements of food and drink and adjust the appliance accordingly with an internal HD camera, also allowing you to watch how your food was cooking on your phone (instead of, simply, checking through the glass door). Fun to play around with? Sure. Superfluous? Maybe — and certainly at the price point some of these gadgets are going for (for $1,299 retail, it’s no wonder there’s no current plans for a restock of the June Oven, although there are rumors of integrating the tech into existing Weber grills ). What a lot of these smart appliances aim to do is cut out the complicated cooking tasks and decisions made by humans, ones where previously the advice of chefs like Conant, Zimmerman, and Chauhan would help. “At the risk of sounding like an old guy, I think the intention is to make life more simple,” Conant muses. “But unless those gadgets are so easy to operate that a five-year-old from anywhere in the world can pick it up and do it — it’s a pain in the neck. Think about the process of roasting a piece of salmon. Just turn the oven on, you’re going to sear it in the pan, and finish it in the oven. It’ll take you seven to 12 minutes, and you’re fine. Anything else is overthinking.” Especially for novice cooks, learning how to tell the doneness of your meat, or when a dough has been kneaded to the right consistency are kitchen rites of passage. For chef and restauranteur Maneet Chauhan, this means that when it comes to making your kitchen “smarter”, it all comes down to moderation. “I think technology should be just one tool in your cooking Swiss Army knife. Think about your air fryer — that’s a perfect example of streamlining cooking steps. We don’t use air fryers in commercial kitchens, but what we do use are convection ovens, which is practically the same concept. But you are the one who has to learn how to properly prep the meat, the knife skills to chop the vegetables, etc.” Other than the steep barrier-to-entry price, are these smart appliances that purport to help home chefs beef up their skills actually stunting their growth in the kitchen? Arguably people who want to cook from scratch also want to learn — the rest will just order delivery, says Conant, not a $1,000 oven. “Audiences really do want to learn, how do I make this taste so good? How can I do this at home? I never cooked a lot at home until I had kids, because I was always in restaurants, right? So I started to think, what are the tips and tricks that people can take from my demos and use to become better home chefs?” Smart kitchen tech can even feel fascinatingly flashy to some chefs, and even helpful to some like Zimmerman. “Let me tell you why I’m a bit hopeful. First of all, we are time poor right now in this country, and it’s one of the reasons why we spend less and less time together. Everyone is over schedule, and we’re inundated with too much stress. So if there are products that save us time and make life easier for caregivers to put food on the table, I’m all for that.” He adds that there are useful inventions that were once considered too industrial and “tech-y” that have since entered home kitchens, such as sous vide cookers and vacuum sealers . “Thirty years ago those two things, collectively, used to cost about $8,000 to $18,000. They’re such a time saver, and and such an improvement in your cooking life. Just about a $100 investment now, and you don’t need to buy an expensive 10-in-1 oven. There are inexpensive “smart” ovens now too, like from Breville . But while AI and other types of kitchen tech have a wonderful ability to help us, I think we’re still in their infancy right now.” But there is one element to the “smart” race that does worry Zimmerman, and it requires a bit of going back in time to understand how we got here. “Here’s why I’m still a bit wary. About 75 years ago — when supermarkets boomed in post-WWII America — manufacturers in the Fifties started selling larger refrigerators to Americans. Now they’re very big. The idea at the time was for your family shop once a week and put everything in your refrigerator. Seventy-five years later, shopping once a week is a nightmare because of our busier modern schedules.” This has lead to a massive amount of food waste, around 50% of which actually occurs post-consumer contact — and what Zimmerman believes comes from over-shopping. “I just don’t want this new tech to go the same way that the old tech did. It’s sold as a short-term solution to a problem, but long-term becomes even more of a problem, as did the size of the American refrigerator. I recently bought a European refrigerator — it’s tall and skinny. Shopping more actually helps me save food, since I use more of it before it spoils. With this new kitchen tech, we keep selling convenience, but what we’re really being sold is a way to kick the problem down the road. And that has me cautious, to say the least.” So what does Zimmerman’s ideal kitchen of the future look like? “I’d like to see a few induction pods, a more modern, multi-functional microwave, and a combi oven.” A ‘combi ovens’ is chef speak for something that steams, has convection, air fries, etc, something made more accessibly-priced in recent years from brands like Ninja . “Those 10-in-1 smart AI gadgets, I think, are trying to address a problem that I think combi ovens address more effectively. Home units are kind of like having a fancy microwave, and if it’s big enough, then that will replace a whole slew of energy-sucking devices in your kitchen.” That being said, it seems like smart kitchen tech can feel unnecessary at times if you’re someone who actually enjoys the process of cooking (like me). Over-engineered appliances like the June Oven and GE Profile Smart smart mixer don’t seem quite interested in making anyone a better cook. Whether it’s the oftentimes $1,000+ price tag, or the amount of counter real estate they eat up, many of these products feel more like proof-of-concepts that were designed to wow on the floor of CES (and many do, and receive design awards — even from us ) rather than be an integral part of anyone’s kitchen toolkit. Just because you can cram in AI everywhere doesn’t always mean you always should. For Zimmerman, further automation also raises the problem of the connection we have to physically making our food. “We lose our touch and feel for it, and for people like me, that’s my yoga. That’s how I take care of my mental health, is by cooking. I just made cavatelli from scratch, and when you’re making homemade pasta dough and you’re it rolling out, I’m not thinking for that hour about all my life problems. And we all have life problems. Everyone has to have a yoga, right? A meditative practice that allows one to focus completely on something — because that’s what quiets our mind and gets our serotonin going. So I worry about this new tech supplanting that, and taking that away for many people.” But even if cooking isn’t your “yoga”, professional chefs like Conant and Chauhan agree that your most essential tools really can be the simplest options. “I think what you really need are good pans,” Conant suggests. “A great cast iron pan will help you no matter, and it gets seasoned over the years from use. I don’t come from money, so I got passed down the cast iron pan [laughs]. But those family heirlooms — your grandmother’s spoons, or your father’s tortilla press — those are important, too.” “There’s nothing like a really good chef’s knife,” is Chauhan’s advice. “There’s no need for those 15-knife sets, especially if you’re just starting out and learning to cook. Even something small, such as a cooking spoon , can be essential.” When they’re not trying be a do-it-all, 12-in-one miracle makers, there are smart kitchen gadgets and appliances that can be a worthwhile additions to your daily routines (and worth the cost). Both Conant and Zimmerman brought up the one appliance they believe has revolutionized home kitchens the most in recent history: the humble microwave. “The allure of it is the ease-of-use. It’s arguably the most advanced kitchen gadget that we’ve had in the past 30-40 years,” says Conant. “I’ve done 200 interviews in the past year, and in at least half of them, I always gets asked ‘well, what single appliance do you recommend?’,” laughs Zimmerman. “It was popular a couple years ago for chefs to say, get rid of all your single-use appliances! And there are a couple single-use appliances that I love. But for the most part, I look for diversity. I actually think the most energy-saving device that has the most uses when utilized properly is your microwave. They defrost fantastically, they reheat beautifully. If you take two minutes to read the manual and understand how to do so at a very low temperature, they’re great for things like cooking rice, too.” Smart kitchen tech is understandably still finding its footing, but until some of these innovations enter affordable ubiquity (which some already have — smart coffee makers that brew on a schedule have gotten very good and very cheap), they might just be relegated to shining aspirations for our “kitchen of the future”. Even appliances with a lighter AI touch, such a Breville’s Joule Oven , can get it right when they focus on what home cooks actually need (like notifications when the oven is preheated and again when the food is finished cooking, and a fantastic rotisserie function). Sure, they may have a foothold in the vacuum category , but robots are not taking over our kitchens anytime soon. And for that, it’s heartening to learn that the pros don’t seem to get sick of teaching the basics, either. “I never get tired of it. Never,” says Chauhan. “Even if you’re just refreshing your skills, everyone can take something away from a kitchen demo or class.” AI might already be in our iPhones and laptops , but it can’t be stirred into a pot or sautéed in our meals. It’s nice to know that there’s still a little bit of you in every dish, Contant points out. “When you eat someone’s dish, you get to know who that chef is by eating the food. There’s another quote I’m going to butcher: Picasso was talking to a young student, and that student was explaining their ideas of how they wanted to make art. Picasso stopped them and said, “It’s fine. But don’t talk about it. Say it with your painting. I feel like that’s such a powerful experience, to be able to identify a chef’s point of view, their heart laid bare, without them ever having to say it. It’s all on the plate.”

Pep Guardiola admits he is questioning himself after Manchester City’s latest defeat left them in danger of missing out on the Champions League knockout stages. City slumped to their seventh defeat in 10 games in all competitions as they were beaten 2-0 at Juventus in their latest European outing on Wednesday. Second-half goals from Dusan Vlahovic and Weston McKennie at the Allianz Stadium left Guardiola’s side languishing in 22nd place in the standings. Juventus beat Man City 💪 #UCL pic.twitter.com/H4KL15iCke — UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) December 11, 2024 With just two games of the league phase remaining, a place in the top eight and automatic last-16 qualification looks beyond them and they face a battle just to stay in the top 24 and claim a play-off spot. City manager Guardiola said: “Of course I question myself but I’m stable in good moments and bad moments. “I try to find a way to do it. I’m incredibly honest. If we play good (I say) we played good and today I thought we played good. “Our game will save us. We can do it. We conceded few chances compared to the Nottingham Forest game that we won. We’re making the right tempo. “We missed the last pass, did not arrive in the six-yard box (at the right time) or have the composure at the right moment. “But I love my team. This is life, it happens. Sometimes you have a bad period but I’m going to insist until we’re there.” City now face a crunch trip to Paris St Germain, who are also at risk of failing to qualify, next month. Guardiola accepts the top 24 is now the only aim. He said: “It’s the target. We need one point or three points. We go to Paris to try to do it and the last game at home.” Veteran midfielder Ilkay Gundogan said after the game he felt City were suffering from a loss of confidence but Guardiola dismissed his player’s comments. “I am not agreeing with Ilkay,” he said. “Of course it is tough but, except one or two games in this period, we’ve played good.” City now face a further test of their resolve as they host rivals Manchester United in a derby on Sunday. "We played well" Pep Guardiola trusts in his squad despite 2-0 loss to Juventus... 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/VrmTzcTrEF — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) December 11, 2024 Gundogan told TNT Sports: “It (confidence) is a big part of it. That’s a mental issue as well. “You can see that sometimes we miss the ball or lose a duel and you see that we drop immediately and lose the rhythm. They (the opponents) don’t even need to do much but it has such a big effect on us right now. “Even more you have to do the simple things as good as possible and create and fluidity, then it’s work hard again. This is how you get confidence back – do the small and simple things, (but) in crucial moments at the moment we are always doing the wrong things.” Juventus coach Thiago Motta was pleased with the hosts’ performance, which boosted their hopes of making the top eight. “It was a deserved victory,” he said. “We had to defend as a team and be ready to attack with quality. “We have shown we can compete at this level and now we have to do it consistently.”Stripper reveals the 'sensual' perfumes that get 'men's attention' and make them more money Ex-stripper revealed the combination she uses to smell 'sweet and creamy' Phlur's $38 Vanilla Skin Body & Hair Fragrance Mist by Phlur blew up on TikTok READ MORE: The 101-year-old grandma who became an unexpected viral star By MARGARET ABRAMS FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 18:01 GMT, 28 December 2024 | Updated: 18:01 GMT, 28 December 2024 e-mail 7 shares View comments In 2024, some of the most popular perfumes were considered 'stripper' scents after they exploded on social media.

Dallas forward Naji Marshall was suspended for four games and Suns center Jusuf Nurkic for three while Mavericks forward P.J Washington will sit out one game. The incident came with 9:02 remaining in the third quarter when Nurkic committed on offensive foul on Dallas's Daniel Gifford. "Marshall and Nurkic then engaged in an on-court altercation. Nurkic escalated it by swinging his arm and striking Marshall on top of his head. Marshall responded by throwing a punch that connected with Nurkic's face," the NBA said in a statement. "As the officials and other players attempted to diffuse the situation, Washington further escalated the altercation by shoving Nurkic to the floor. For their roles, Marshall, Nurkic and Washington were assessed technical fouls and ejected from the game," the league added. Marshall late confronted Nurkic near the locker rooms, in a "hostile manner" according to the NBA. The NBA said the players will not be paid during their suspension periods. sev/bb
