Does Hallmark's Tyler Hynes Have a Girlfriend or Wife? What We Know About His Dating Life Revealed"Surely, there cannot be any coincidences here. There is certain consistency," Peskov said, when asked about the doctrine update. The spokesman added that Russia constantly has to respond to unprecedented escalation incited by the West. "Although President Putin assigned to prepare the amendments in order to adapt our [nuclear] doctrine to the conditions of the current confrontation, which is incited by the Western states, Putin has to respond to the unprecedented escalation which is primarily spurred by the outgoing administration in Washington," Peskov said. And the United States is continuing to take even more reckless steps to escalate the Ukrainian conflict, the spokesman added. When commenting on the Oreshnik missile strike, Peskov said that Putin had sent a clear signal to the West in September. Peskov added that a "frenzy" among decision-makers in Washington had led to the current situation. 19 November, 13:18 GMT "They chose to ignore Putin's warnings and this situation arose as a result. This required such decisive steps and firm statements from our president," the spokesman said. Peskov also said that the Biden administration had effectively halted dialogue with Russia, adding that "political foresight" is in short supply in Washington. "During the election campaign, [US President-elect Donald] Trump spoke about his intention to somehow ensure peace and bring everyone into a peaceful course. And now they are trying to escalate the situation so much that these peaceful conditions are doomed to failure," the spokesman said. Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a televised speech on Thursday that Ukraine had fired US-supplied ATACMS missiles and the UK's Storm Shadows at facilities in the Kursk and Bryansk regions this week. In response, Russia launched a strike against a defense industry facility, the Yuzhmash plant, in Dnepropetrovsk on November 21, using its newest medium-range missile, dubbed Oreshnik. Moscow also earlier in the week. US President Joe Biden’s outgoing administration's decisions on Ukraine are an attempt to take revenge on for his victory in the presidential election, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said. "In many ways, yes," Peskov said in an interview out on Sunday when asked if Biden is trying to take a revenge for the Democrats' defeat in the election. Biden’s administration is trying to leave "some kind of heritage" to Trump and bring him to bay in the Ukraine conflict settlement, Peskov added. The statements about the possibility of Kiev obtaining a dirty bomb are dangerous and represent much more than "play with fire," Dmirty Peskov said. "They [Ukraine] understand how dangerous it is and that it is not even a play with fire any more, it’s more than that," Peskov said in an interview with Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin out on Sunday when asked about claims that Kiev may get a dirty bomb. Earlier this month, UK newspaper reported, citing a report prepared by Ukrainian researchers for the Defense Ministry, that Ukraine could develop a nuclear bomb within a few months if the United States reduces military aid to Kiev. Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi said later that Ukraine does not possess nuclear weapons, does not intend to create them, and closely cooperates with the International Atomic Energy Agency. However, Kiev’s existing capabilities allow it to create a dirty bomb, Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, the head of the radiological defense troops of the Russian armed forces, has said.Chance of direct attack by Russia ‘remote’, says UK armed forces chief
Sister Wives season 19 is still airing, but fans have spent the entirety of the season speculating that this will likely be its last. After all, the entire show was supposed to center around polygamy. They are no longer polygamists. Despite fan speculation, it looks like TLC is still committed to sharing the story of the once-plural family. A cafe in Utah just confirmed that filming is underway for more Sister Wives seasons. A small Utah Cafe announced its involvement in an upcoming season of ‘Sister Wives’ The family isn’t on hiatus while season 19 is airing. The network, which generally announces new seasons just weeks before their premiere date, has deployed a camera crew to capture new footage. A small cafe in Utah spilled the beans. Dede’s Farmhouse Cafe in Parowan, Utah, took to its social media accounts to inform its patrons that the Sister Wives cast would be filming at its eatery. The overzealous business owner’s update has confirmed that fans will be seeing more from the Browns despite the family now living hundreds of miles apart. A Reddit user caught the social media post and shared it. In the upload, the proprietors encouraged patrons to dine in and check out filming while the cast was on hand. They did not reveal exactly which cast members would be filming, but based on the cafe’s location, it’s safe to assume Meri Brown would be the main focus of the scene. Meri lives in Parowan, Utah. She has owned an inn in the town for several years. Meri opted to move to the area full-time after her spiritual split from Kody. Fans watched Kody help Meri move to the area just weeks ago on Sister Wives . What could fans expect to see from another season? Season 19 of Sister Wives has focused almost entirely on the family’s future now that they are no longer spiritually wed. Season 20 might be more of the same, but we have a feeling plenty of drama may play out as the Brown family learns how to navigate their separate lives. While season 19 has been pretty slow-moving, there is plenty of real-time drama to fill another season. Season 20, which has no official release date, might be more dramatic than previous seasons. If it does air, it will likely cover Janelle Brown’s move to North Carolina . The family’s squabbles over what to do with Coyote Pass will likely come into play, too. It’s possible the additional season would also cover Christine Brown and Kody Brown’s custody battle over Truely Brown. The couple are battling it out in court. Mykelti and Tony Padron’s decision to leave Utah, and Robyn and Kody Brown’s new house purchase could be featured, too.

After two quarters, neither squad has the matchup in the bag, but the Celtics lead 55-52 over the Timberwolves. The Celtics entered the game having won four straight and they're just two quarters away from another. Will they make it five, or will the Timberwolves step up and spoil it? We'll know soon. Minnesota Timberwolves @ Boston Celtics Current Records: Minnesota 8-7, Boston 13-3 When: Sunday, November 24, 2024 at 3:30 p.m. ET Where: TD Garden -- Boston, Massachusetts TV: FanDuel SN - North Follow: CBS Sports App Online streaming: fuboTV (Try for free. Regional restrictions may apply.) Ticket Cost: $140.00 The Celtics are 8-2 against the Timberwolves since January of 2019, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Sunday. The Boston Celtics will host the Minnesota Timberwolves at 3:30 p.m. ET at TD Garden. The Celtics will be looking to extend their current four-game winning streak. The Celtics are headed into this one after the oddsmakers set last week's over/under low at 238, but even that wound up being too high. They walked away with a 108-96 victory over the Wizards on Friday. Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored the Timberwolves last Thursday, but the final result did not. They took a 110-105 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Raptors. The Timberwolves struggled to work together and finished the game with only 16 assists. They were demolished by their opponents in that department as the Raptors posted 22. Boston's win was their sixth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 13-3. As for Minnesota, their loss dropped their record down to 8-7. Sunday's match is shaping up to be a scrappy contest: The Celtics haven't given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 11.8 turnovers per game (they're ranked fourth in turnovers per game overall). It's a different story for the Timberwolves, though, as they've been averaging 15.4. Given the Celtics' sizable advantage in that area, the Timberwolves will need to find a way to close that gap. As for their next game, the Celtics are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by eight points. This contest will be their 11th straight as the favorites (so far over this stretch they are 5-5 against the spread). Boston is a big 8-point favorite against Minnesota, according to the latest NBA odds . The oddsmakers were right in line with the betting community on this one, as the game opened as a 8-point spread, and stayed right there. The over/under is 222.5 points.

Galveston County Child Support Lawyer Lacey Richmond Addresses Child Support Needs in a New Article 12-04-2024 10:18 PM CET | Politics, Law & Society Press release from: ABNewswire Galveston County child support lawyer Lacey Richmond ( https://www.richmondpllc.com/galveston-county-child-support-lawyer/ ), of Richmond Law Firm, PLLC, provides dedicated legal guidance to parents facing child support issues in the Texas family court system. Child support is a critical component in family law, helping ensure that children receive the financial support they need from both parents following a divorce or separation. From establishing child support orders to modifying and enforcing existing ones, Richmond's goal is to help clients secure arrangements that effectively serve the interests of their children while remaining equitable for both parents. The journey to establish a fair child support agreement can be difficult for many parents, and Richmond addresses these challenges with a compassionate and comprehensive approach. In Texas, child support is calculated primarily based on the income of the noncustodial parent. However, the Galveston County child support lawyer emphasizes that several factors must also be considered for children to receive the appropriate level of support, especially if there are unique circumstances involved. "Calculating the correct amount of child support is crucial for the well-being and stability of a child, allowing them to receive the necessary financial support for their needs such as education, healthcare, and daily living expenses," Richmond notes. When it comes to modifying child support arrangements, Galveston County child support lawyer Lacey Richmond can provide invaluable guidance to help families adapt to life's shifts, such as changes in a parent's income or the needs of the child. Under Texas law, child support orders can be modified if there has been a significant change in circumstances. These changes may include increased or decreased income for the obligor parent, additional children, or shifts in the child's medical needs or custody arrangements. Richmond states, "Courts have the discretion to tailor child support orders to the unique circumstances of each family, enabling all children to receive the support they need while considering the financial abilities of the noncustodial parent." Richmond can work with parents to identify if and when a modification might be necessary, as well as the steps required to achieve a revised agreement that continues to serve the best interests of the child. Additionally, enforcing child support orders can be a difficult process for parents who rely on these payments to meet their child's daily needs. In cases of nonpayment, Texas law provides several enforcement mechanisms, including income withholding, tax refund intercepts, and license suspensions. Richmond Law Firm, PLLC can assist parents in exploring these enforcement options to maintain compliance with court orders. "Texas employs a variety of tactics to enforce child support orders. These include withholding income from wages, intercepting tax refunds, placing liens on property, and, in some cases, imprisonment," Richmond explains. The firm can provide the legal support parents need to address unpaid child support so that children receive the resources they are legally entitled to. In some cases, child support calculations in Texas must account for special circumstances, such as support for children with disabilities or obligations to multiple families. For children with special needs, the court may adjust the standard percentage guidelines to accommodate additional expenses for specialized care, therapy, or educational requirements. Richmond recognizes the importance of such considerations and emphasizes the need to work closely with a qualified Galveston County child support lawyer when handling these complex situations. "Children with disabilities may require additional support to cover medical care, educational needs, therapy, and other specialized services that go beyond basic living expenses," Richmond says. Richmond's goal is to help ensure that child support arrangements not only meet the child's immediate needs but also reflect long-term requirements for a stable and nurturing environment. Establishing paternity is another aspect of child support cases that often plays a crucial role in securing a child's financial future. For unmarried parents, paternity must be established to determine legal rights and responsibilities, and Richmond Law Firm, PLLC can provide guidance in tackling this process. Paternity establishes legal fatherhood and opens the door to rights such as custody, visitation, and inheritance for the child. Richmond highlights that for a father, establishing paternity can also provide essential medical history access and a stronger family bond. "Paternity establishes legal fatherhood and is a crucial step in the child support process. It brings benefits not only to the child but also to the father and the family as a whole," Richmond says. Legal recognition of paternity can thus significantly impact the child's financial and emotional well-being. Parents facing challenges in child support are encouraged to reach out to Richmond Law Firm, PLLC for a consultation. Richmond's team can provide the guidance and representation necessary to protect the best interests of the child and the rights of the parents. Whether a client is establishing an initial order, addressing special needs considerations, or dealing with enforcement, Richmond Law Firm, PLLC can provide informed and compassionate support. About Richmond Law Firm, PLLC: Richmond Law Firm, PLLC, based in Galveston County, Texas, can offer dedicated family law services, including child support, divorce, and custody matters. Led by Lacey Richmond, the firm is committed to providing personalized legal support that reflects the unique needs of each client and family. With a focus on achieving fair and sustainable outcomes, Richmond Law Firm, PLLC can help ensure that families have the guidance they need for legal challenges involving children's well-being and family stability.

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson faced allegations of insider trading and fraud before he was assassinated in Manhattan on Wednesday. He was fatally shot in what NYPD officials suspect was a premeditated attack as he left the Hilton hotel ahead of an investor conference. The gunman remains at large. Last year, the DoJ launched an investigation into whether the UnitedHealthcare, under Thompson's leadership, was unfairly limiting competition and operating as a monopoly. In May, the City of Hollywood Firefighters' Pension Fund filed a lawsuit against Thompson and other UnitedHealth executives, alleging that the CEO hid information about a federal investigation before selling over 31 percent of his shares, earning $15.1 million. In Legal Tangle Before Death The complaint mentioned that Thompson and other company leaders sold more than $117 million worth of UnitedHealth stock over a four-month period while they were aware of the federal antitrust probe. However, the development has not yet been made public. In October, the California Public Employees' Retirement System, the largest public pension fund in the U.S., joined the lawsuit and filed an amended complaint seeking a jury trial against Thompson and other executives. In February, The Wall Street Journal revealed that federal investigators had been interviewing individuals from the healthcare sector where UnitedHealth operates. The inquiries focused on the relationships between UnitedHealthcare, the company's insurance division, and its Optum health services branch, which manages physician groups and other assets. The Wall Street Journal also reported that the Department of Justice was investigating UnitedHealth's Medicare billing practices. The investigation aimed to determine whether physicians were exaggerating patient illnesses to improperly boost government payments. Thompson was tragically killed in a targeted shooting, suffering gunshot wounds to the chest and leg. The masked assailant fled the scene on a bicycle, heading down 6th Avenue, and is believed to have escaped into Central Park. The NYPD has launched a large-scale manhunt to locate and arrest the suspect. The shooter remains at large and is described as a white male wearing a cream-colored jacket, a black face mask, black and white sneakers, and carrying a grey backpack. Targeted Attack, Motive Unclear Sources revealed to The New York Times that Thompson, who lives in Minnesota with his wife and children, had arrived at the hotel early to get ready for his presentation. The shooter reportedly knew the exact door Thompson would exit from and opened fire on him from a distance of several feet. The shooter opened fire on Thompson from a distance down the street, striking him multiple times before fleeing the area on a bicycle. As the suspect remains unidentified, the NYPD has offered a $10,000 reward for information related to the shooting. Thompson's wife, Paulette, revealed that he had been receiving "some threats" prior to his visit to New York. "Basically, I don't know, a lack of coverage? I don't know details. I just know that he said there were some people that had been threatening him," she told NBC News. The incident comes amid an ongoing Department of Justice investigation into Thompson for alleged antitrust violations and accusations of insider trading. The shooting took place just hours before crowds were set to gather in Midtown for the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center. United, the largest health insurer in the United States by market share, has often faced protests from activists accusing the company of systematically denying care to patients. In February, the company drew attention after falling victim to a cyberattack , resulting in losses amounting to $872 million.Quanta Services Inc. stock underperforms Thursday when compared to competitors despite daily gainsLandlords are using AI to raise rents; California cities are leading the pushbackLevis throws 2 TD passes to help Titans outlast Texans 32-27

AMMAN — Ambassador of Malaysia to Jordan Mohamad Nasri Abdul Rahman hosted a reception on Wednesday to introduce the logo and theme of The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Malaysian Chairmanship 2025. The event took place at the Malaysian embassy in Amman under the theme “Inclusivity and sustainability.” Member states of the ASEAN are Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Malaysia will assume chairmanship of this political and economic union on January 1, 2025. “Today brings us another step closer towards the beginning of an important new role for Malaysia,” said Abdul Rahman, noting that the logo and the theme for Malaysia’s ASEAN Chairmanship were officially unveiled by Prime Minister of Malaysia Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim and launched by Foreign Minister Dato’ Sri Utama Mohamad Hasan on October 22. “Malaysia is deeply honoured and stands ready to assume this pivotal responsibility,” Abdul Rahman underlined, adding that main priorities for the Malaysian chairmanship are: fortification of the ASEAN centrality; continuation to push for greater commitment to enhance the ASEAN intra-trade and investment; and to ensure that the elements of inclusivity and sustainability, which is the theme for 2025, take centre stage in the regional community-building efforts. “The convening of the ASEAN-GCC plus China Summit in Kuala Lumpur in 2025 is indeed a testament to the ASEAN’s intent of collaborating with the wider global community,” the ambassador said, adding, “It is therefore with great joy that I introduce the logo and the theme of the ASEAN-Malaysia Chairmanship 2025.” Malaysia will also ensure that the ASEAN will be capable to leverage on advances in sciences, technology and innovation, and harness the benefits of digital transformation and new technologies. “Malaysia’s vision of the ASEAN will remain immutable, and will continue to reflect the hopes of the ASEAN peoples, for a peaceful, stable and prosperous region that is ready to contribute positively to global affairs,” Abdul Rahman underlined. Malaysia is one for the Founding Fathers of ASEAN, a regional bloc established on August 8, 1967 in Bangkok. 2025 will witness the fifth times Malaysia hold the ASEAN Chairmanship. The last time Malaysia held the ASEAN Chairmanship was in 1977, 1997, 2005 and 2015. “The ASEAN’s nuanced and pragmatic approach to managing geopolitical competition between major powers is increasingly seen as a model for the rest of the developing world. The ASEAN’s commitment to neutrality, dialogue, and regional cooperation, has kept Southeast Asia stable amid external rivalries,” the ambassador underlined. Regarding the economic collaboration, the ASEAN’s trade with China recorded US 696.7 billion in 2023, reflecting China’s position as the largest trading partner since 2009. “At the same time, trade with the US, Australia and India – which are among the countries of ASEAN’s Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, amounted to US 395.9 billion, 183.4 billion and 131 billion respectively,” Abdul Rahman said, noting that the ASEAN is Korea’s second largest trading partner, the largest consummation market and the second largest investment destination.NFL NOTESCowboys win wild one vs. Commanders to halt five-game slideCowboys win wild one vs. Commanders to halt five-game slide

Japanese automakers Honda and Nissan have announced plans to work toward a merger that would form the world’s third-largest automaker by sales, as the industry undergoes dramatic changes in its transition away from fossil fuels. The two companies said they had signed a memorandum of understanding on Monday and that smaller Nissan alliance member Mitsubishi Motors has also had agreed to join the talks on integrating their businesses. Automakers in Japan have lagged their big rivals in electric vehicles and are trying to cut costs and make up for lost time as newcomers like China’s BYD and EV market leader Tesla devour market share. Nissan has been fighting to survive. Credit: Bloomberg Honda’s president, Toshihiro Mibe, said Honda and Nissan will attempt to unify their operations under a joint holding company. Honda will lead the new management, retaining the principles and brands of each company. They aim to have a formal merger agreement by June and to complete the deal and list the holding company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange by August 2026, he said. No dollar value was given, and the formal talks are just starting, Mibe said. There are “points that need to be studied and discussed,” he said. “Frankly speaking, the possibility of this not being implemented is not zero.” A merger could result in a behemoth worth more than $US50 billion ($80 billion) based on the market capitalisation of all three automakers. Together, Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi would gain scale to compete with Toyota Motor and with Germany’s Volkswagen AG. Toyota has technology partnerships with Japan’s Mazda Motor and Subaru. News of a possible merger surfaced earlier this month, with unconfirmed reports saying Taiwan iPhone maker Foxconn was seeking to tie up with Nissan by buying shares from the Japan’s company’s other alliance partner, Renault SA of France. Nissan’s CEO Makoto Uchida said Foxconn had not directly approached his company. He also acknowledged that Nissan’s situation was “severe.” We anticipate that if this integration comes to fruition, we will be able to deliver even greater value to a wider customer base Even after a merger Toyota, which rolled out 11.5 million vehicles in 2023, would remain the leading Japanese automaker. If they join, the three smaller companies would make about 8 million vehicles. In 2023, Honda made 4 million and Nissan produced 3.4 million. Mitsubishi Motors made just over 1 million. “We have come to the realisation that in order for both parties to be leaders in this mobility transformation, it is necessary to make a more bold change than a collaboration in specific areas,” Mibe said. Nissan, Honda and Mitsubishi earlier agreed to share components for electric vehicles like batteries and to jointly research software for autonomous driving to adapt better to electrification. Nissan has struggled following a scandal that began with the arrest of its former chairman Carlos Ghosn in late 2018 on charges of fraud and misuse of company assets, allegations that he denies. He eventually was released on bail and fled to Lebanon. Speaking Monday to reporters in Tokyo via a video link, Ghosn derided the planned merger as a “desperate move.” From Nissan, Honda could get truck-based body-on-frame large SUVs such as the Armada and Infiniti QX80 that Honda doesn’t have, with large towing capacities and good off-road performance, Sam Fiorani, vice president of AutoForecast Solutions, told The Associated Press . Nissan also has years of experience building batteries and electric vehicles, and gas-electric hybrid powertrains that could help Honda in developing its own EVs and next generation of hybrids, he said.

It recently reshuffled its management and Uchida, its chief executive, took a 50 per cent pay cut while acknowledging responsibility for the financial woes, saying Nissan needed to become more efficient and respond better to market tastes, rising costs and other global changes. “We anticipate that if this integration comes to fruition, we will be able to deliver even greater value to a wider customer base,” Uchida said. Fitch Ratings recently downgraded Nissan’s credit outlook to “negative,” citing worsening profitability, partly due to price cuts in the North American market. But it noted that it has a strong financial structure and solid cash reserves that amounted to 1.44 trillion yen ($15 billion). Nissan’s share price also had fallen to the point where it is considered something of a bargain. On Monday, its Tokyo-traded shares gained 1.6 per cent. They jumped more than 20 per cent after news of the possible merger broke last week. Honda’s shares surged 3.8 per cent. Honda’s net profit slipped nearly 20 per cent in the first half of the April-March fiscal year from a year earlier, as its sales suffered in China. The merger reflects an industry-wide trend toward consolidation. At a routine briefing Monday, cabinet secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said he would not comment on details of the automakers’ plans, but said Japanese companies need to stay competitive in the fast changing market. “As the business environment surrounding the automobile industry largely changes, with competitiveness in storage batteries and software is increasingly important, we expect measures needed to survive international competition will be taken,” Hayashi said.
