LOS ANGELES (AP) — Democrats and Republicans agreed on at least one thing before November’s election: California would play a central role in determining control of the U.S. House. Indeed it did.

Danis president shares five-year vision, new innovationsAustralia will have two drivers in Formula One in 2025, with Jack Doohan set to benefit from one team’s major overhaul. Doohan’s debut will come earlier than expected at this weekend’s season ending Abu Grand Prix after Esteban Ocon and Alpine parted ways with one race left this season.

Doohan will benefit from the hit-out to get some nerves out of his system and experience the pressure of an F1 race ahead of next year’s season-opening Australian Grand Prix. It is a big gamble though, given Alpine is just five points ahead of Haas in the constructors championship heading into the final race of the season. Ocon, 28, signed with Haas earlier this season for 2025 but will end his five-year stint with Alpine early as part of an agreement that allows him to do postseason testing with his new team. The Frenchman’s abrupt departure took the F1 paddock by surprise and brings down the curtain on a tumultuous season for Alpine. F1 pundits have been reflecting on the downfall of Alpine, who at the start of 2022 boasted one of the most solid driver line-ups. At the start of the 2022 season, Alpine unveiled their trio of drivers — Fernando Alonso and Ocon along with reigning F2 champion and reserve driver Oscar Piastri, who was front and centre at the unveiling of the team’s car for that season. Less than two years later, all three are gone and the team has transformed, or capitulated, depending on which way you look at it. Alonso left to join Aston Martin at the end of the 2023 season and is holding out hope car designer Adrian Newey can give him a car that can deliver him a world championship two decades after he won two titles with Renault. Alpine announced Piastri would join the team, only for the Aussie to rebuke that claim , declaring “I will not be driving for Alpine next year” in a post that will go down in F1 social media folklore. Then Pierre Gasly joined Ocon at Alpine on 2023. On paper it was a dream combination — two French drivers driving for a French team. They both began their full-time F1 careers in 2017 and they have very similar records, with one race win each. But Gasly and Ocon have never got on since their relationship deteriorated during their junior karting days. The duo collided on the opening lap of this year’s Monaco Grand Prix and Ocon endured a season from hell. He signed a deal with Haas earlier this year to join the team from 2025. Ocon and Gasly both finished on the podium at the rain affected Brazilian Grand Prix but that was a rare highlight for Ocon, who claimed his sole race win in Hungary in 2021. So where did it all go wrong for Alpine? It’s not just the drivers where Alpine has had significant turnover. Team principal Otmar Szafnauer was sacked mid-season in 2023. Bruno Famin served in that role before Oli Oakes was appointed team principal in August. Alpine’s technical director Matt Harman and head of aerodynamics Dirk de Beer left the team after the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix. In May, Alpine announced Flavio Briatore was returning to the team as special advisor. Briatore managed Doohan, so it would seem the Aussie’s future is tied to Alpine for now. The pairing of Ocon and Gasly was a dream for a motorsport outfit steeped in French history, but the team is losing its French soul made iconic by the Renault brand. When the new era of F1 regulations commence in 2026, Alpine will no longer be a ‘works’ team using a Renault power unit and will instead become a customer team. Renault Group CEO Luca de Meo ordered a review into the F1 operation and in September, it was confirmed staff would continue working on power units for 2025 but the team’s engine base in Viry, France would shut down. The F1 project that has run since the 1970s will cease and resources and around 200 staff would be allocated elsewhere. Alpine has a base in Enstone, England and will have a customer power unit supply for the first time since 2015, when they had a Mercedes engine. The F1 team will work solely out of their factory in the UK. Ocon and Gasly both finished on the podium at the rain affected Brazilian Grand Prix but that was a rare highlight for Ocon, who claimed his sole race win in Hungary in 2021. Not everything is bad for Alpine though. Gasly is in arguably career-best form, qualifying better than ever and helping move Alpine up to sixth in the constructors standings after a fifth-place finish in Qatar. Alpine does have a strong presence in F1 Academy, where Great Britain’s Abbi Pulling is set to clinch this year’s championship for female drivers. Mick Schumacher will race for Alpine in the World Endurance Championship next year. Doohan will be one of five drivers starting their first full season on the grid in 2025, along with Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes), Ollie Bearman (Haas), Liam Lawson (VCARB) and Gabriel Bortoleto (Sauber). Judging by the year Alpine has had, the 21-year-old son of five-time MotoGP world champion Mick Doohan might have his work cut out for him.

Voters want more US involvement on world stage despite isolationist talk, Ronald Reagan Institute survey findsNewcastle's No.1 Sportsground is one step closer to hosting top-flight sport after the council approved a planned $3.65 million upgrade of its grandstand. Login or signup to continue reading However, the upgrade is likely still some time away given City of Newcastle chief executive Jeremy Bath said the project was not yet budgeted for and the council would pursue a state or federal government grant. The council l odged plans in January for long-awaited improvements, the second stage of works designed to attract elite games. The project, which includes a new two-storey addition on the back of the grandstand to accommodate new change rooms and a glass-walled hospitality room upstairs, was given the green light at council's final meeting of the year on Tuesday night. The plans won unanimous approval from councillors. Ward once councillor Peter Gittins voiced his support of the project and highlighted the need for an upgrade to a venue which has not hosted first-class cricket since 2015. "I had a conversation two months ago with the CEO where we both expressed our desire to see Newcastle once again have a quality facility that can host cricket for all genders, rugby league, rugby union, whatever sport," councillor Gittins said. "This renovation will enable us to do that, and having played a lot of football on that sportsground many years ago, it is great to see that it's back in the limelight, that we can lay claim to a facility in the future that will enable Newcastle to host competitive sport at a regional, state and hopefully international level." An $8 million first stage of works at No.1 Sportsground completed in 2022 included improving and expanding the playing surface to the minimum size for high-level AFL and cricket fixtures as well installation of new floodlights. But it still left the inner-city venue short of meeting modern-day requirements to host elite sporting fixtures. It is hoped stage two, which Bath said would ultimately cost more than $5 million, will make it fit for purpose. The plans include new ground-level change rooms, two umpire rooms, two doctor rooms, two massage rooms, two multi-purpose spaces, three store rooms, a lift, the upstairs social room with kitchen, servery and cool room, and two team viewing rooms upstairs. The new upstairs kitchen, servery and "social room" will reduce the grandstand's seating capacity by 122 to 588. When works will begin, however, are not yet known. "This DA allows us to obviously commence construction," Bath said before approval was gained. "There is no funding in the current year's capital works program for this project. "As an organisation, we're just starting the process now of working on next year's capital works program. "I'm not in a position tonight to be able to comment that funding will be in next year's capital works program for the budget. "But, what it does do, if the council ultimately decide to approve the DA is it opens up a range of grant opportunities where the grants are conditional upon the project having an approved DA." Ward one councillor Charlotte McCabe noted a previous grant application for the proposed upgrade had been unsuccessful but said council's approval would allow the project to be "shovel-ready". "It would allow council to continue to apply for grants to the NSW government," councillor McCabe said. Renee Valentine is a sports journalist with more than 20 years of experience in Newcastle.

However, I got these for my husband for his birthday (he loves Bob Ross), and what a find!! We had so much fun mixing colors and painting. Would definitely recommend it.

My boyfriend and I both love quirky kitchen gadgets and I got these as part of his birthday present. He was SO HAPPY when he saw them. I actually didn't know he'd like them as much as he did. The look on his face made my heart sing, and I think these are just so cute. They're also really inexpensive, which is a bonus. Great for gifting and a cute addition to your kitchen. Just grab a pair!" — C Rowyn Richards Get it from Amazon for $15.79 . 4. A deck of Buffy the Vampire Slayer -themed tarot cards featuring never-before-seen original art inspired by the hit TV show. If they've been mulling over whether to take up the slayer mantle themselves, they might just need this deck to help them figure out what their destiny is. Promising review: "Honestly couldn’t be more pleased with these. Bought this deck as a gift for a friend and ended up buying another deck for myself. They are thick, high-quality cards, and the artwork is gorgeous. Plus, the cards come with a pamphlet with layouts and explanations and you can tell that a lot of thought went into relating each tarot card to the Buffy theme. It’s really well done, and someone who loves the show puts a lot of love into making these. They’re my new favorite deck!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.07 . 5.

All they have to do is just place the silicone band around the top of the jar, and voila! Check out a TikTok of the condiment fork in action. Promising review: "Great kitchen item. Forks are great to get pickles out of the jar, but if you have kids/lazy people (lol) you know that dirty hands are going into that jar. 😉 This has really prevented that from happening .

The prompts are super fun and help you to think outside of the box, even during those moments when you feel like you have no ideas. It's great to casually doodle in while passing time since you don't have to think of what to draw, but it also can be really helpful when brainstorming for creative projects. My girlfriend is a visual artist and graphic designer, and she loves using it to play around with ideas and make her think of things she never would have thought of without it. Plus, it's small and super portable! Highly recommend!" Get it from Amazon for $9.25 . 10. A "Gracula" garlic crusher — just because the Count has a garlic aversion doesn't mean he can't help them mince a little for their homemade pasta sauce. And it'll only take them a few seconds! Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher! " — Barbie Get it from Amazon for $22.95 . 11. A game of Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza because it's easy to learn, fun to play, fast-paced, and a round is sure to end in a barrel of laughs!

She is out of state, so I can't speak on the quality of the socks, but if they were a fraction less than fantastic, my all-too-honest- aunt would have let me know, but all she could do was rave about them. Well done :-)" — Deb P Get them from Amazon for $14.59+ (available in 37 colors). 13. The I Love Trader Joe's Cookbook — filled with delicious recipes they can make with all the groceries they buy at Trader Joe's, this cookbook is sure to become a family heirloom.

There are so many recipes in an abundance of styles that I have never thought about making before. The directions are pretty clear, and the ingredients listed on every page help ensure you know exactly what to do to make the best dishes. One recipe my family recently tried was the blackberry fool. It only called for five simple ingredients, took about 15 minutes to prepare, and made a great dessert to enjoy after dinner. I would highly recommend this Trader Joe's cookbook for anyone looking for new dishes to make, from simple appetizers and desserts that require limited prep work to advanced entrees that challenge your cooking skills and leave you wanting more." — Angela Koonce Get it from Amazon for $9.99 . 14. A light-up rain cloud diffuser because it'll actually start pouring raindrops into the spill-resistant container below! It has three levels of brightness and five levels of water flow speed, so they can customize their aromatherapeutic experience. Check out a TikTok of the rain cloud diffuser in action. Promising review: "I love this thing. I have anxiety and insomnia, and I need background noise to function/sleep. This little desktop fountain is SO SOOTHING, both aesthetically and the sound of the little raindrops. If I’m in the room with it, it’s probably on. If you love the sound of rain this is for you. Because I’m paranoid and I want this to last, I run it with plain distilled water and I have not used essential oils with it even though they say it’s fine. It’s very dry here right now, and I still only have to top up the water every few days, even with it running daily . It’s a solid 12/10 from me." — Violet Get it from Amazon for $56.80 . 15. A dimmable sad duck night-light who is just oh so relatable. He just needs to lie down real quick forever. This night-light has a 30-minute timer, so they don't have to get up and turn it off before falling asleep. Promising review : "I ordered this lamp because of its appearance. This has totally filled a void in my life I didn't know existed. Everyone who sees it pokes it. The lamp is actually very functional. It's got a really nice set of brightness options, and the glow is yellowish, which is much nicer than white in a dim/dark room. One thing that isn't mentioned in the description is that its legs are utterly floppy. It's terrific." — Literated Get it from Amazon for $15.99 . 16. Or a rechargeable toast-shaped lamp with a darling smile on its face. What could be better? It offers a nice, soft glow that can be adjusted, and it has a 15-minute timer! Promising review: "I first fell in love with this lamp online but fell to another level once it was delivered. It's the cutest little lamp I've ever seen. It's smaller than I thought, but it's just perfect. I love that you can manage how bright it is, as well as the 15-minute timer, which is great at night. Would definitely recommend this product as a gift or as a self-gift." — María José Sánchez Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three colors). 17. A super friggin' cute Squishmallow pet bed with cushioned bolsters that make for a natural headrest. This squishy bed is perfect for their cuddly pet! Promising review: "This is my first and only Squishmallow product, and honestly, I love it! It is as soft as expected from the brand, but I'm also very impressed with how sturdy the bottom is. Most of the bottoms of my dogs' beds are made of fabric, but the bottom of this bed is pretty firm and tough. I'm no dog-bed expert, but from a loving dog parent, I'm very satisfied." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $31.49+ (available in 4 sizes and 10 animal styles). 18. A pup-tastic dog-shaped door draft stopper if they need a helping paw to keep their heater's warm air where it belongs: inside. Promising review: "Would definitely recommend.

Beyond satisfied with this TikTok purchase." — Christina Carson Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in nine colors). 20. A ~stable~ donkey-shaped sticky note holder for quick and easy access to little sheets of paper they can write their to-do lists on. They can even open the clothespin-like mouth and have it hold their favorite pen! Monkey Business is a small, well, business! Promising review: "Great way to store note paper. I was looking for an alternative to sticky notes, and this is perfect.

Money very well spent!" — Tim Get it from Amazon for $6.65 . 24. A "Noodle Monster" spaghetti container because their favorite long boys deserve a safe space to wait to be devoured. Promising review: "I love this so much. Like, so much. The canister part is glass, which I love. It's tall enough for long pasta, but also good for macaroni. His lil' noodle noggin is plastic with a silicone seal, so it's actually practical while also being literally the cutest thing in the world. And his eyestalks make opening the lid a breeze while also being absolutely adorable. I really want a little gang of them for my pantry, and I'd make little hats for them.

Does your hairdresser give you solid looks for solid prices and you need a Christmas gift for them? Does your neck need support when you're playing scary video games in the dark at 2 a.m. when you should be studying for finals? This shrimp neck pillow was the answer to all those questions. It's so comfortable. It's so fashionable. It's so iconic. No one will ever disrespect you with this on your neck. If you have doubts, take my word for it.

Slate Office REIT (TSE:SOT.UN) Stock Price Up 53.7% – Here’s What HappenedSquare Enix and Platinum Games say that Nier: Automata has sold more than 9 million copies, meaning that the androids-on-robots post-apocalypse is more popular than ever and going strong eight years after it first released. The NieR Series social media accounts announced the milestone by sharing an image celebrating "Over 9 Million Global Shipments & Download Sales" alongside the message "This isn't possible without you." This isn't possible without you ❤️ pic.twitter.com/uXQh3TLNk7 December 27, 2024 It's quite the testament to PlatinumGames' and creative lead Yoko Taro's vision of an action-heavy action RPG with a wildly complex and at times even confusing story. It's a series that's clearly a labor of love, with the producer insisting it'll continue as long as Taro is alive to work on it. And, clearly, there's demand for Nier with the game selling many millions of copies now despite the lack of any sequel in sight. It's buoyed long-term by the enthusiastic community of fans around it and the sheer value of the game: It's one of those that keeps serving up new content and secret endings even as you play dozens more hours and finish it over and over. Nier: Automata clocked a 79% PC Gamer Review back in 2017, held back more than anything by a pretty lackluster PC port. Nier: Automata also had a pretty well-received anime adaptation that, shocking no-one, unveiled yet more secret lore and endings that involve the game itself .
