Recently, you've not been happy with aspects of your career. However, from May, Aries begins making significant inroads and earning the respect, prestige, and status they deserve, and for which they have long worked, even though self-doubt accompanies you during June to August. Success does not come without its drawbacks, as your battery is running on empty, leaving you susceptible to illness. Yet your relentless pursuit of goals, especially during July 10-August 13, and daily, patient adaptiveness to new ideas and experiences during July 27-August 2, leads to more structured routines and success. The financial variability of the last several years begins to dissipate, with better pay from February, whilst quality of your home life improves from June 10, as you expand or renovate your home and happier conditions prevail. Login or signup to continue reading Restrictions on goals and social life are easing, leaving you free to plot new goals and engage in new social situations during 2025. Partly this is fuelled by better career opportunities and more financial rewards for your efforts, particularly between July to October. Although caught up in wider trends, you're able to better determine your life path, with the support of valued partners. Your positive attitude from June onwards, assists you in expressing your ideas, planning, and negotiating your environment, potentially with a new car on the agenda. There could be teething problems in June new situations ease in. You need to make allowances for unforeseen complications then, when time is wasted and communications are fuzzy. There are some damaged associations, and you'll need to work your way through a few problems. The dual nature of influences, affecting Gemini's career path and life direction, is set to change in a stepped manner during 2025, leading to a better position and improved pay, particularly from mid-year. November is great for career advancement. You're keen and excited about exploring life through foreign or educational adventures that accompanies your growing independence and curiosity for life. Your goals are changing as you are keen to taste life's offerings and the friendships that they bring. There may be work associated with travel during July to October, or studies in health, hygiene, and nutrition. Whilst you're leaving behind the responsibilities, complications, and pressures of career, you'll need to give more structure to your goals and friendship considerations following August. Changes to the way Cancerians think and go about life are indicated in the coming year, as old ways are discarded, and illusions dissipate. You feel as if you have a new lease on life, with optimism powering the way from June onwards. You're also determined to establish financial control in your own life, part of which involves working diligently on your chosen career path and creating opportunities for success through education, foreign connections, and legal avenues. Whilst you have good backing for doing so, it is important not to stray far from conventions and good ethics. There is the potential for overseas travel and education on your path, but it is also important not to take risks with money or misjudge situations as these can set you back. July to October brings advancements with key interests. Exercise caution in June. The lack of support from those in a position above, including employers, seems to fall away gradually during 2025, promoting a more certain life path and improvements in work opportunities and outcomes. These changes are associated with a change in pay and reorganisation of your financial management, either indicating a new job or new position. There are benefits received through partnerships and because of your own efforts, bringing both a livelier social life and improved relationships with coworkers or people you meet in the course of your daily business. Ties are strengthened during March, April, July, and August through October, although there may be some confusion or uncertainty during June 9-August 24. November brings professional advancement and economic reward. Virgo's changing perspective of themselves and the world influences their relationships with others. Your dreams are large, especially from June onwards, when you'll be motivated to improve family conditions, and are able to do so. Whilst November sees the realisation of some objectives, June brings disorganisation and a need for care, especially with money. During March to October, you'll need to be more vigilant in protecting your assets; between May and November, you'll be taking a more conservative approach with money. Both trends become more ingrained in 2026. Influencing your attitude is restructuring at work during July to October. Whilst your efforts are financially rewarded, adaptations are necessary. Other considerations include greater independence and flexibility, as well as health, both of which can be accommodated. Romance, marriage, work, travel, and education are all important for Libran folk during 2025. There are changes ahead to do with employment. These moves eventually lead to greater financial stability and excellent opportunities to advance along the path you have envisioned for yourself, where you will shine. Foreign travel and education offer exciting potentials, which you will undoubtedly pursue over the next few years, with a first taste of the offerings during July to October. You tend to become more cautious in all relationships, where things will move slowly or have a fated quality to them. At the same time, there may also be confusion in your dealings with people, as trust issues are involved. Whilst there is a need for passion in your life, you need to find the right balance and establish trust before making a commitment. Scorpio's determination is directed towards home and property matters during 2025, with significant steps taken during June to October. Unexpected factors will aid you on the financial side of things during August 11-October 28, whilst a steady supply of work and manual investment into property makes a difference during July and August. From May 2025, opportunity enables you to earn good money in association with increased responsibilities, although this can be tiring, especially during June 9 to August 24. However, work also can be enjoyable. Better attention paid to diet and health interests will not only assist you in managing your daily life but will also be a source of enjoyment. Overseas travel, education, and legal interests are favoured from June, although June itself is a time of disorganisation. The scene is set for changes to living conditions and career during 2025 as you seek more ideal conditions within the home and better pay. Whilst these changes are stepped, taking stronger root in 2026, you'll also find that the variable and unsettling conditions, associated with work and health, are less influential during July to November, and continuing from 2025 onwards. However, your increased restlessness and taste for adventure can also shakeup relationships then. You do desire stability in your love life and are willing to commit but there needs to be enough flex room to be able to do your own thing. Aspects during July to October make this possible but discussion and joint efforts are needed to usher in more ideal conditions. November brings positive and expansionary conditions in the home. Capricorn's daily routines are set to change in 2025 as restraints are lifted and you're able to turn your attention to domestic, family, and property interests, where you'll be investing more of your time, personal effort, and money, especially during July to October. This period is also important for income and work, with restructuring of these activities giving you greater control over your income as well as more flexibility and independence in your work: something that becomes a feature over the coming years. You'll be financially rewarded for these personal efforts. June onwards, for twelve months, brings wonderful conditions for marriage, meeting people, and foreign travel. However, June can see you briefly confused and disorganised, with increased domestic responsibilities. Take care with decisions then. Aquarians are coming into their own during 2025, more confident in themselves and what they want, and more influential in the circles in which they move. You are seeking to enjoy life more, doing the things you love, and are susceptible to the charms of love: life will be kind. You are also seeking greater stability, whether in your domestic circumstances or in your love life, even though change is on the agenda. March and April are important in stabilising living conditions whilst July-August brings steadiness in love. You are also restructuring your routines around these changes, particularly during July to October, reflecting changing attitudes towards life. You do seem to breeze through life, with better pay and work coming easily to you, as you enjoy improved health and good working conditions. The difficulties and confusion that have marred Pisces' personal life for some time are set to change as part of a shakeup in 2025. How you feel about yourself is changing as is your perspective on relationships and income. Illusions evaporate and personal burdens associated with restructuring your life are alleviated. The emphasis of goals switches to income generation, which may result in a new position within your current employment or job. Whilst you may need to trim expenses, you will certainly find the time to enjoy life, romance, creative interests, and children, especially from June onwards. Your domestic situation appears to be unsettled during July 7-November 8 as you endeavour to create a more ideal environment. A practical approach and your readiness for change promotes stability.

Report: Heat agree to trade Thomas Bryant to PacersBy DAVID BAUDER Time magazine gave Donald Trump something it has never done for a Person of the Year designee: a lengthy fact-check of claims he made in an accompanying interview.

It was the second time Trump earned the Time accolade; he also won in 2016, the first year he was elected president.

says is an indirect victim of ’s injury crisis this season as he explained his lack of minutes. Sterling has started just four games for the Gunners since joining on loan from Chelsea on transfer deadline day in August. The last of those starts came back on October 30, when , and Sterling has made just two substitute appearances since then for a total of 23 minutes. Arteta insists he wants to give the 30-year-old more game time, but injuries and fitness issues with other players have had an impact. “There’s been moments,” said Arteta. “It’s been tough and very difficult for me as well to accept that I haven’t given him more. “When he hasn’t started the games, 90 per cent of the subs that I make is related to saving minutes or because of injuries or avoiding injuries. It’s not tactical reasons. “I would like him to play much more as I think he can impact the team in a very good way. He’s very good in the dressing room and is absolutely desperate to play. “He had this very important role, impacting every game, and suddenly you are in this position for a while. Not just here but at Chelsea as well. “So it’s always very difficult and I feel a lot of sympathy for players when they are in this moment. Hopefully we can change it.” Sterling may have struggled for regular game time at Arsenal, but Arteta has shown a willingness to give young players minutes this season. Academy graduates Ethan Nwaneri and , and Arteta believes the dressing room environment has been key to that. “It is unbelievable,” said Arteta. “It is not for me to say, it is for them and they have already expressed the way [the dressing room] makes them feel. “The way they look after them, the way they can look at certain people and say: ‘Wow, these are the standards I want to become’. That is a great example. “The academy historically has been very, very successful and strong but there are moments as well. Sometimes you get a lot of players come through in the same position. “They need time in the squad, they need a role in the squad, and then it is when you throw a player in. That is the key. “They can be ready but the context in that team, dressing room, moment is not right. Now the work has been done and it is exceptional what everybody has done and now they have the right environment and they are prepared. “And the jump is so big, from what you ask from them in the Premier League to the Champions League. It is a huge step. But they are showing they are capable of doing it.”Jack Butland backs Rangers star to shine against Celtic in Hampden final after lighting up Europa LeagueMuscat: Local investment institutions increased their purchases at the Muscat Stock Exchange (MSX) in the week’s trading to absorb foreign selling and individual sales at a time when stock prices recorded further declines and presented attractive opportunities for long-term investment portfolios. About 41 securities recorded a decline in trading duringthe week, including a number of banks, telecommunications and energy companies, in addition to leading industrial companies. These declines came before the end of the fiscal year for most public joint-stock companies listed on the Muscat Stock Exchange, which prompted local investment institutions to increase their purchases of shares amid expectations of an improvement in the financial performance of most companies listed on the stock exchange. Purchases by local investment institutions during the week amounted to OMR17.9 million, accounting for 65.1 percent of the total trading value, compared to sales worth OMR6.7 million, representing 24.6 percent of the total trading value. The declines witnessed by stocks during the week led to a decline in the main index and sectoral indices of the stock exchange. The main index recorded a decline of about 46 points and closed at 4,563 points, the financial sector index decreased by 30 points, the industrial sector index recorded a decline of 46 points, the services sector index lost about 20 points, and the Sharia index fell to 408 points, recording a decline of 10 points. On the other hand, 21 securities recorded an increase during the past week, most notably Dhofar Food and Investment, Al Madina Investment Holding, Oman Fisheries, Aman Real Estate Investment Fund, and Bank Sohar International. During the week, trading rose to OMR27.5 million compared to OMR11.4 million Omani riyals in the previous week, in which trading was limited to 3 days. The number of deals executed during the week also rose to 7,829 compared to 4,382 deals in the previous week. OQ Exploration and Production topped the most traded companies in terms of trading value with OMR12.6 million, representing about 46 percent of the total trading value. OQ Gas Networks came in second place with OMR3.2 million, representing OMR11.7 million, while Ominvest’s unsecured secondary mudaraba sukuk came in third place with OMR2.4 million, representing 8.7 percent of the total trading value. Investors focused on OQ Exploration and Production shares after they fell to attractive levels for investment portfolios. The share price ranged between 354 and 352 baisas during last week’s trading, with 3,257 transactions executed. It closed at 352 baisas, down one baisa during the week, thus approaching the subscription price for individual Omani investors, which is 351 baisas. The market capitalisation of the Muscat Stock Exchange rose at the end of the week’s trading to OMR27.39 billion, recording gains of OMR16.7 million, benefiting from the rise in the market value of closed companies that are not traded on the floor to OMR10.93 billion, recording weekly gains of about OMR100 million, while public joint-stock companies recorded a decline in their market value, affected by the decline in stock prices.
The World Order Is Dangerously In Flux
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — PGA Tour rookie Patrick Fishburn played bogey-free for an 8-under 64 for his first lead after any round. Joel Dahmen was 10 shots behind and had a bigger cause for celebration Friday in the RSM Classic. Dahmen made a 5-foot par putt on his final hole for a 2-under 68 in tough conditions brought on by the wind and cold, allowing him to make the cut on the number and get two more days to secure his PGA Tour card for next year. He is No. 124 in the FedExCup and projected at 126th after two rounds. “I still got more to write this weekend for sure,” said Dahmen, who recently had said his story is not yet over. “But without having the opportunity to play this weekend, my story would be a lot shorter this year.” Fishburn took advantage of being on the easier Plantation course, with trees blocking the brunt of the wind and two additional par 5s. He also was helped by Maverick McNealy, who opened with a 62 on the tougher Seaside course, making two bogeys late in his round and having to settle for a 70. Fishburn, who already has locked up his card for next year, was at 11-under 131 and led McNealy and Lee Hodges (63) going into the weekend. Michael Thorbjornsen had a 69 and was the only player who had to face Seaside on Friday who was among the top five. What mattered on this day, however, was far down the leaderboard. The RSM Classic is the final tournament of the PGA Tour season, and only the top 125 in the FedExCup have full status in 2025. That’s more critical than ever with the tour only taking the top 100 for full cards after next season. Players like Dahmen will need full status to get as many playing opportunities as they can. That explains why he felt so much pressure on a Friday. He didn’t make a bogey after his opening hole and was battling temperatures in the low 50s that felt even colder with the wind ripping off the Atlantic waters of St. Simons Sound. He made a key birdie on the 14th, hitting a 4-iron for his second shot on the 424-yard hole. Rex Hoggard , Rex Hoggard , Dahmen also hit wedge to 2 feet on the 16th that put him on the cut line, and from the 18th fairway, he was safely on the green some 40 feet away. But he lagged woefully short, leaving himself a testy 5-footer with his job on the line. “It was a great putt. I was very nervous,” Dahmen said. “But there’s still work to do. It wasn’t the game-winner, it was like the half-court shot to get us to halftime. But without that, and the way I played today, I wouldn’t have anything this weekend.” His playing partners weren’t so fortunate. The Tour put three in danger of losing their cards in the same group — Zac Blair (No. 123), Dahmen and Wesley Bryan (No. 125). The cut was at 1-under 141. Blair and Bryan came to the 18th hole needing birdie to be assured of making the cut and both narrowly missed. Now they have to wait to see if anyone passes them, which is typically the case. Thorbjornsen in a tie for fourth and Daniel Berger (66 at Plantation) in a tie for 17th both were projected to move into the top 125. Dahmen, indeed, still has work to do. Fishburn gets a weekend to see if he can end his rookie year with a win. “I’ve had a lot of experience playing in cold growing up in Utah, playing this time of year, kind of get used to playing when the body’s not moving very well and you’ve got to move your hands,” said Fishburn, who played college golf at BYU. “Just pretty happy with how I played.” Ludvig Åberg, the defending champion and No. 5 player in the world competing for the first time in more than two months because of knee surgery, bounced back with a 64 on Plantation and was back in the mix. Åberg played with Luke Clanton, the Florida State sophomore who looks like he belongs each week. Clanton, the No. 1 player in the world amateur ranking who received a sponsor exemption, had a 65 at Plantation and was two shots off the lead. Clanton already has a runner-up and two other top-10s since June. “Playing with him, it’s pretty awesome to watch,” Clanton said. “We were kind of fanboying a little it. I know he’s a really good dude but to be playing with him and to see what he’s done over the last couple years, it’s pretty inspirational.”A New York woman whose grandparents went missing 44 years ago said on Friday their disappearance haunted her for decades, but the recent discovery of what could be their car submerged in a Georgia pond has her family believing the mystery may soon be solved, according to NBC News . “I never went a day without worrying or thinking about if they had a terrible ending to their life,” Christine Heller Seaman, 60, of Manhattan, said about her grandmother Catherine Romer, who was married to Charles Romer. The couple was reported missing in April 1980. “For years and years, we didn’t hear anything. ... It’s something that you held with you every single day of your life ... if they were tortured or harmed,” Seaman told NBC News on Friday in a phone call. Charles Romer, a retired oil executive, and his wife, vanished along with their 1978 Lincoln Continental while traveling home from Miami Beach, Florida. At the time, law enforcement expressed concerns about potential foul play against the couple from Scarsdale, New York, partly because Catherine Romer was wearing approximately $81,000 worth of jewelry. They had checked into a Holiday Inn in Brunswick, Georgia, where hotel employees grew concerned that their bed had not been slept in and reported them missing. But decades later, answers appear to be emerging from a Georgia pond. One human bone was discovered in the submerged Lincoln Continental on Nov. 22, according to a Saturday statement from the Glynn County Police Department . “The vehicle is similar to the description of a vehicle that Charles and Catherine Romer were believed to be driving,” the police department said in the statement posted to Facebook. The car was found in a pond between the Royal Inn Hotel and Interstate 95 on New Jesup Highway in southeast Georgia, police said, adding that the agency is collaborating with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Seaman said a detective informed her family that along with a femur found in the Continental, personal belongings such as jewelry and a license plate bearing the couple’s initials were also discovered in the car. Lawton Dodd, a spokesperson for Glynn County police, said on Friday the human remains have not been identified as belonging to either of the Romers, and the vehicle has not been determined to belong to the couple. Dodd declined to elaborate. Although a positive identification or identifications are not expected for months, Seaman said the developments have led her family to believe the couple died in some kind of accident rather than falling victim to a vicious crime. Seaman, who spoke from Scotland, said she and her family enjoyed Thanksgiving and reminisced about their missing relatives. “The whole family just shared stories about them. It was a happy time because of this resolve we’re feeling,” Seaman said. “It sort of gave us permission to celebrate their lives and talk about the fun memories without the feeling of dread, sorrow and sadness.” Seaman said she was only 15 when her grandmother and her step-grandfather — Charles was Catherine’s second husband — vanished. She still remembers the look on her dad’s face after he spoke to a detective in Georgia who told them the couple was missing. “We saw his face and he said, ‘Something is very, very wrong.’” Seaman explained that her father was his mother’s only child and he had not heard from her, which was unusual. Seaman described her grandmother as the “life of the party” who was very close to Seaman and her eight sisters. Catherine Romer loved thoroughbred racing and enjoyed traveling with her granddaughters, introducing them to new foods and restaurants, Seaman said. “She was like the celebrity of our house. She was always visiting us. She was very much part of our upbringing,” she said. “She made everyone feel like her favorite child — her favorite granddaughter.” Seaman called Charles Romer a “lovely and generous man.” She expressed gratitude toward investigators and a diving team from Florida, the Sunshine State Sonar team, that found the submerged Continental. “We’re all in shock, but ... we have this gratitude for the people that hunted this whole mystery down,” Seaman said. “People who don’t know us and we’re not related to and are perfect strangers would go to extensive measures to find answers and ... help give a family peace of mind and resolve.” This article originally appeared on NBCNews.com .

AP News Summary at 1:11 p.m. ESTMotoring News Don't miss out on the headlines from Motoring News. Followed categories will be added to My News. Elon Musk is officially the world’s richest man. But while he enjoys global financial success, Tesla’s fortunes in Australia have taken a hit. The latest figures reveal a concerning 21 per cent decline, equivalent to approximately $600 million, in Tesla sales in Australia. Tesla Model 3 and Toyota Camry Hybrid. Photo: Camber Collective MORE: 15 yrs later: Aussie fave’s ‘ludicrous’ return It’s a significant difference to the previous year’s growth. Tesla, was once a dominant force in the Australian electric vehicle (EV) market but now faces rising competition from other brands, such as Chinese automaker BYD, which are outperforming Tesla in other regions. Specifically, BYD’s Seal and Atto 3 continue to attract Australian buyers due to their aggressive pricing and advanced technology. BYD’s Atto 3 is a popular Tesla alternative. Supplied M ORE: Catch: Buy a ‘Lambo’ for 20pc of the price The automaker’s momentum is undeniable, with its most recent quarterly revenue of US $28.4 billion surpassing Tesla’s US $25.18 billion for the same period. According to Stake market analyst Samy Sriram the shift in the market is also reflected in trading data for 2024 with both companies seeing strong stock performance. 2022 Tesla Model Y RWD. Photos by Thomas Wielecki. “We’re seeing some of that sentiment reflected in trading data. In 2024, while sentiment towards both TSLA and BYD was positive, the latter saw more bullish bets. On Stake, 64 per cent of TSLA trades were buys, whereas 75 per cent of BYD trades for the year were buy orders.” she said. Sriram explained BYD has performed well in 2024 with a strong 45 per cent increase in stock value this year. However, Tesla’s performance was even more impressive. Tesla rivals include the Nissan Leaf, Polestar 2, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Porsche Taycan, Volvo XC40 Recharge. Photo: Thomas Wielecki “Tesla has seen an even stronger run, rallying around 30 per cent since Trump’s election win in November, and almost 70 per cent year to date, helping Elon Musk to regain his position as the world’s richest person.” she said. This rally helped Musk return to the top spot on the world’s wealthiest ranking. But with sales down in Australia, will this impact Musk? Likely no. Australia is a small market, accounting for just 3 per cent of Tesla’s global sales, with the U.S. and China continuing to be its largest market. However, Sriram explained the potential impact of Trump’s trade policies with China may force Tesla to refocus their efforts on places like Australia. “As Tesla continues to compete with newer entrants to the market, it might be forced to lower prices and see a considerable drawdown in its operating margins.” she said.
