Target Has the Coolest Black Friday Toy Deal for GamersThe Sweden midfielder hailed Saturday’s 4-0 thrashing of the champions as the best game of his career. The 24-year-old delivered an outstanding performance as Spurs shattered the champions’ 52-game unbeaten home run, helping start the rout with a superb cross for James Maddison’s opening goal. Kulusevski said: “I believed (we would win) this because in the past years, we’ve come here and played really well. “So this is the game I look forward to most in the year and, once again, it happened – glory to God. “I’d say it’s the best result ever in my career. It’s a big night for the whole club, for the coach, for the players. “Because City have a lot of the ball sometimes, we can rest when we defend. There’s also so much space up there, we play one against one and then it’s always dangerous because we have a lot of quality. “It’s always great to play great teams because they always want to play football. When you play lower teams, sometimes it’s not. There’s not much football played because they are a lot of fouls, a lot of injuries and it’s slow going.” Maddison stole the show with two goals in quick succession in the first half while Pedro Porro and Brennan Johnson later got on the scoresheet.

Asked if his form made him feel “unstoppable”, Kulusevski said: “I feel like that. I feel very good and I’m trying to keep this way. I’m very happy, I’m trying to improve. “I started the season good but there is over half of the season left and I hope I can do much better. “I think I have something that no other player has. With my engine, with my heart – I don’t get tired – I feel like I can do a lot still in my career.” Spurs have won more matches against Pep Guardiola's Man City than any other side 👀 pic.twitter.com/BHLZqde9sP — Premier League (@premierleague) November 23, 2024 Tottenham’s scintillating performance marked a spectacular return to form after their dismal loss to Ipswich in their previous Premier League outing. Kulusevski said: “We have to be much more consistent. It’s not a turning point. We just have to be better in other games. “This game suited us perfectly but we have a lot of improvement to make in the other games.”
Nearly a year ago, in reaction to Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim’s initial announcement proposing to abolish the Vancouver Park Board, the Government of British Columbia laid out the requirements for considering legislation changes to the Vancouver Charter relating to removing the elected body of commissioners overseeing parks and recreation. This centred on creating a transition plan that performed First Nations consultation and considered parkland ownership and the future of the existing Park Board workers. During the City of Vancouver’s press conference this morning , ABC city councillor Sarah Kirby-Yung said Premier David Eby “had sent the City away to do some homework, and that homework is now complete.” The transition plan outlines the initial steps for transferring parks and recreation operations to City staff and governance and oversight responsibilities to the Mayor and Vancouver City Council. When it comes to consulting with all three local First Nations, the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh nations , provided that the Vancouver Charter be also amended to align with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and the requirements of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. Leaders of the Musqueam and Squamish First Nations participated in today’s press conference to share their rationale for supporting the Mayor’s plan. “Our [Squamish Nation] Council didn’t have a hard position one way or the other, on an elected park board or not,” said Squamish Nation Council Chairperson Khelsilem today during the press conference. Khelsilem shared that his First Nation’s support centred on the desire to have the Vancouver Charter completely reviewed and updated to align with UNDRIP principles. “Our council took a position that if this is something the city wanted to explore, then we were open to exploring that and working with the City to explore that with the condition that any changes to provincial legislation to affect this also have to align with the principles of UNDRIP, which is required by provincial law,” continued Khelsilem. Musqueam First Nation Chief Wayne Sparrow added, “So everything that that we do on our side, we want to make it better for our community and better for the city, and fully engage with the mayor and his staff to accomplish that. I can’t stress that enough the city on reconciliation to hear our concerns. When we get into those details and we sit back at the table with the mayor, we will go back and consult our community and I know that the mayor and his staff will listen to those concerns.” Sim also noted that former Vancouver mayors Mike Harcourt, Gordon Campbell, and Larry Campbell endorse the abolition of the Park Board and the subsequent transition. “Other mayors have wanted to do this for 40 years, and they didn’t because they didn’t have the political support at the time or the political will. We are literally putting ourselves on the line with getting a bunch of heat on this because we care about the parks,” said Sim on the political capital, time, and resources expended over the past year for the controversial effort. When it comes to the provincial government’s requirement to consider parkland ownership factors, the City notes that it has clarified that all land and assets managed by the Park Board are technically owned by the City, although there are currently jurisdictional differences for numerous assets. Under the Mayor and City Council’s future oversight, if there were ever to be a change in use of parklands, the City is proposing to require removing the permanent park designations through the threshold of a mandatory unanimous vote of support from all 10 city councillors and the Mayor, with the possibility of a further step of putting the decision to a referendum, such as adding it as a question in the civic election ballot. City staff assert these checks and balances are higher than the current requirement of a minimum two-third vote of support in both the Park Board and City Council. Furthermore, as part of the initial steps of the transition, the City would move to designate 17 parcels of park spaces as “permanent parks,” with the combined total area being 89 acres — equivalent to 68% of the size of Queen Elizabeth Park. This includes parcels of longtime established, but not technically permanent, park spaces such as David Lam Park, Harbour Green Park, Jericho Beach Park, China Creek North Park, areas of Stanley Park near Lost Lagoon, and the recently built Rainbow Park. And regarding the future of Park Board workers, the goal is to prevent any Park Board staff layoffs as a result of the transition. The City already manages the union contracts for Park Board staff, which currently number about 3,000. The City will work with unions to move Park Board staff to the City’s new parks and recreation department and other departments. Over the past few years, the City has repeatedly shared that there are many vacancies across its departments. Some scenarios could even see City staff moved to the parks and recreation department, as the City already oversees a substantial portion of parks and recreation facilities. In other scenarios, the Park Board staff position could be recreated in other areas of the City that make the most sense, and where there is duplication, the staff will be assigned to other work that is aligned with their knowledge, skills, and interests. This amounts to a recalibration of the municipal government, which will take into the four factors of “organization efficiency and de-duplication, policy coherence, organizational effectiveness, and public and partner experience.” City staff expect these initial changes could . This includes the cost savings for capital projects, when one entity is responsible for oversight and permitting. For example, when a utilities project necessitates the consultation and approvals of both the Park Board and the City, as was the case for past projects in David Lam Park, it adds to delays, which drives up the cost of construction from inflation — especially when delays are years long. In some instances, the delays due to multi-jurisdictional discussions have added millions of dollars in costs to projects. With all that said, City staff have also noted that they are not able to advance any further on the planning work, as Park Board commissioners have banned Park Board staff from engaging with the City on the abolition and transition. As for providing the tools for the Mayor and City Council to take on the current responsibilities of Park Board commissioners, which is a part-time job, City staff are recommending enacting new by-laws for the governance and oversight of the parks and recreation system, creating a City Council sub-committee for parks and creation that only serves to advise (no delegated authority; final decisions made by City Council as a whole), and creating a new “Parks and Recreation Partner Relations Office” to maintain the Park Board’s existing relationships with community organizations and provide engagement opportunities. It was also suggested that some types of decisions made by Park Board commissioners could be delegated to City staff, such as commercial and event permits on parklands. Similar permitting on City jurisdiction is the responsibility of City staff, not the Mayor and City Council. Ultimately, the ball is now in the court of Premier David Eby, who indicated in that he would support and move on the requested changes to the Vancouver Charter after the provincial election. However, in more recent weeks during the election campaign period, he made comments suggesting he may now be lukewarm to the idea. When asked by media today whether the question of the Park Board’s future could be put to a referendum, such as incorporating it as a question in the by-election in early 2025 to fill the Vancouver city councillor seat being vacated by Christine Boyle, Sim suggested he was not supportive of such a move.Gabbard's bipartisan congressional connections could be crucial to confirmation

Epitopea and Genevant Sciences Announce Collaboration AgreementThe United States called Monday for de-escalation in Syria, where an Islamist-led rebel alliance has wrested swathes of territory from the control of President Bashar al-Assad's government in a lightning offensive. The European Union also called on "all sides to de-escalate", while UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he was "alarmed" by the violence and called for an immediate halt to the fighting. Syria has been at war since Assad cracked down on democracy protests in 2011. The conflict has since drawn in foreign powers and jihadists, and left 500,000 people dead. The conflict had been mostly dormant with Assad back in control of much of the country, until last week when the Islamist-led rebel alliance began its offensive. The attack has seen swathes of Syria fall to rebel control, including second city Aleppo for the first time since the start of the civil war. "We want to see all countries use their influence -- use their leverage -- to push for de-escalation, protection of civilians and ultimately, a political process forward," US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters. In a statement issued by EU foreign affairs spokesperson Anouar El Anouni, the European Union also called for de-escalation and the protection of civilians, while also condemning Assad backer Russia for conducting air strikes in his support. Russia first intervened directly in Syria's war in 2015 with strikes on rebel-held areas. Its help, along with that of Iran and Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, were instrumental in propping up Assad's rule. On Monday President Vladimir Putin and Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian both pledged "unconditional support" for their ally, according to the Kremlin. Aleppo is home to two million people and saw fierce fighting earlier in the war. The Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and its allies took the city at the weekend, except for neighbourhoods controlled by Kurdish forces, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. They also seized Aleppo International Airport. HTS, led by Al-Qaeda's former Syria branch, has faced accusations of human rights abuses including torturing detainees. Abu Sufyan, a rebel commander, told AFP: "God willing, we will continue, go into Damascus and liberate the rest of Syria." One Aleppo resident spoke of panic. "There were terrible traffic jams -- it took people 13 to 15 hours to reach Homs" in central Syria, which is under government control. Normally, he said, it would take a couple of hours. AFPTV footage showed rebels patrolling the streets, some burning a Syrian flag and others holding the flag of the revolution. On Monday, Assad branded the rebel offensive led by HTS an attempt to redraw the regional map in line with US interests. His comments came in a call with Iran's Pezeshkian, who in turn pledged continued support and said Iran hoped "Syria will pass through this stage with success and victory". On Monday, Syrian and Russian air raids on several areas of Idlib province in the northwest killed 11 civilians including five children, the Observatory said. "The strikes targeted... families living on the edge of a displacement camp," said Hussein Ahmed Khudur, a 45-year-old teacher who sought refuge at the camp from fighting in Aleppo province. Other strikes in Aleppo killed four civilians, two of them children, the Observatory said, adding that air raids also targeted a Christian-majority neighbourhood. AFPTV footage showed rebels pushing into Hama province in central Syria. Syria's defence ministry said troops were clashing with "terrorist organisations" in the northern Hama countryside. Islamist-led rebels killed six civilians on Monday in a rocket attack on the government-held city of Hama, the Observatory said. Aron Lund of the Century International think tank said a major question hangs over possible Turkish involvement. "I have a hard time imagining that Turkey-backed groups could launch a major rebel offensive out of Turkey-held areas without Turkey being very significantly involved," he said. "But I also don't think Turkey necessarily wanted the rebels to get this far." Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for an end to the "instability" in Syria and an agreement to stop the civil war. On a visit to Ankara, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said it was crucial "to protect the achievements" of the so-called Astana process to end Syria's civil war, which involves Turkey, Russia and Iran. Several hours later, he said the respective foreign ministers would meet on the matter next weekend in Qatar. "We will try to activate this process again," he said. While the current fighting is rooted in a war that began more than a decade ago, much has changed since then. Millions of Syrians have been displaced, with about 5.5 million now in neighbouring countries. Most of those involved in the initial anti-Assad protests are either dead, in jail or in exile. Russia is at war in Ukraine, and Iran's militant allies Hezbollah and Hamas have been massively weakened by more than a year of conflict with Israel. Lebanon's Hezbollah played a key role in backing government forces particularly around Aleppo, but it withdrew from several positions to focus on fighting Israel. HTS and its allies launched their offensive on Wednesday, the day a Lebanon ceasefire began. The violence in Syria has killed 514 people, mostly combatants but also including 92 civilians, according to the Observatory. burs-srm-ser/smwPORTLAND, Ore. -- A businessman with no experience in public office is taking over as mayor of Oregon’s biggest city as it embraces an entirely new system of government — one that’s so different, the City Council chambers had to be completely renovated. Portland voters last month elected Keith Wilson, a trucking company executive and founder of a nonprofit working to increase homeless shelter capacity. He ran on an ambitious pledge to end unsheltered homelessness within a year and will be sworn in Thursday alongside a council expanded from five seats to 12. Portland is contending with homelessness, public drug use and a rising cost of living. Wilson, a Portland native, plans to reach his goal of ending unsheltered homelessness by increasing the number of nighttime walk-in emergency shelters in facilities such as churches and community centers. His message appeared to have resonated in a city where surveys conducted over the past few years have shown that residents view homelessness as a top issue. He ran against three outgoing City Council members. The mayoral race , which featured 19 candidates, was thrown open when Mayor Ted Wheeler decided against seeking reelection after holding the city’s top post since 2017. Wheeler rose to national prominence in 2020 as nightly protests erupted on Portland streets and around the country in response to the police killing of George Floyd . The field of candidates in council races was crowded as well, with nearly 100 running for the new seats that were elected by voters in individual districts rather than citywide. The 130-year-old City Hall was renovated for $8.3 million to accommodate the increase in members. The new dais can now seat 12 people; floor layouts were changed to create more office space; and technology, seismic and accessibility updates were added throughout the building. “Remodeling council chambers is a once-in-a-generation activity,” Maty Sauter, director of Portland's Bureau of Fleet and Facilities, told the outgoing City Council as it held its last meeting on Wednesday in the new chambers. “We've been able to reuse this 1895 facility and make it modern, contemporary and useful.” It’s going to take time for the new government to figure out which of the many changes are working, said Chris Shortell, associate professor of political science at Portland State University. In another first for City Hall, Wilson and the incoming Council members were elected under Portland's new system of ranked-choice voting . A candidate would win if they were the first choice of more than 50% of voters in the first round. Otherwise, a second round would eliminate the candidate with the fewest votes and their supporters’ votes go to their next choice. The process would repeat until someone emerges with a majority of votes. Some 34% of voters ranked Wilson as their first choice, according to final results. The new City Council will hold its first meeting in January.
