Conclusion:
In conclusion, the tragic death of the man who sought to protect himself from the cold through excessive supplementation serves as a poignant cautionary tale. Blindly embarking on a supplement regimen without proper knowledge or guidance can have devastating consequences, highlighting the need for informed decision-making and responsible self-care practices. Let us learn from this somber event and approach supplementation with the respect and care it rightfully demands, prioritizing our health and well-being above all else.A Qantas plane (Image: AAP/Mark Baker) On November 27, Qantas cancelled my flight from LA to Melbourne. Faced with what others have described as a four-to-six-week tussle to get compensation for the cancellation and significant knock-on impact and inconvenience, I made a pre-emptive strike to expedite by emailing federal Transport Minister Catherine King and my local member Zoe Daniel, copying in Qantas CEO Vanessa Hudson. Apart from fair compensation, my aim was to point out the company’s enormous decline in once excellent service standards and the folly in being a “loyal Qantas frequent flyer”. Now the airline seemingly only excels at lobbying, which has deferred and deflected reasonable competition, and regulated customer rights, unlike most other developed markets so dependant on air travel. Here is the letter — I received a “sorry, not sorry” response (and 20,000 frequent flyer points) from Hudson’s office, but no refund yet. Aussie passengers face exorbitant fares, delays and cancellations as Qantas limps through holiday season Read More I write with regard to our cancelled flight QF94 on November 27, 2024 from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Melbourne. We arrived early-ish at LAX that afternoon given it was Thanksgiving eve. Having checked FlightAware before heading to the airport, QF94 appeared to be on schedule departing 8.35pm. Once at the airport, after check-in and through security, the boards indicated that it had been delayed until 10.35pm. We went to the club lounge to wait. At or about the time we anticipated boarding, the screens indicated the flight had been cancelled without any announcement. I immediately went to the service desk and was advised we would be put on QF12 via Sydney and downgraded to premium economy. The staff member (probably a contractor I assume) advised we would be compensated and implied this would be automatic. As I knew from FlightAware that QF12 was an A380, I enquired as to why we were downgraded and whether first class was an option. The agent said she would look and would call me back. As we were also travelling with other family members, who are less experienced travellers, I asked to confirm they too would be on the QF12 as we did not want to be separated. At this stage the agents were very professional in the face of a growing crowd at the service desk, as the word spread through the lounge with still no announcements. I was called back and presented with premium economy boarding passes with no further explanation and economy passes for the other couple. I didn’t query this as clearly there were others that were still to be rebooked. We then discovered the direct flight to Brisbane had also been cancelled (as it had also been the previous night, apparently), adding to the “quiet” chaos in the lounge, which must have been magnified at the gate. The Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne flights were all being consolidated into two Sydney flights. At no stage was there any explanation related to technical or “late arrival of incoming aircraft” delays. Subsequent announcements apologising, once in the plane, all related to the late departure with no further explanation. I can only assume this consolidation was purely for cost saving on Qantas’ behalf, without regard to disruption and inconvenience caused to paying customers. A survey on FlightAware of LAX flights showed there had been several other cancellations during the week prior, so I should not have been surprised. Is it time for a royal commission into Qantas? Read More At the gate, as part of the priority boarding group my wife went through the gate but I was rejected. She proceeded to the plane not realising I wasn’t behind her. I was directed to an agent. It transpired I had been reinstated to business class, separating us. I asked the agent if I could swap seats with my wife but was advised I couldn’t without the boarding passes being reissued. Given they were still dealing with rebooking passengers at the gate, it became clear my request was of lower priority. I boarded the flight and asked one of the senior stewards if I could simply swap with my wife, which they were happy with. I found my wife in the premium economy cabin and explained what had happened. She had settled in, was happy as she could be with her downgraded seat and did not want to make a fuss. It appears this is exactly what Qantas relies on; knowing that most people “won’t make a fuss”. But maybe we should. Regrettably, the reason we avoid transiting for long haul in Sydney and opt (and pay) to fly direct to Melbourne came to pass. Weather was not great down the east coast last week, making Sydney operations challenging. We parked short of the gate while the docking guidance was turned on and then couldn’t proceed because ground equipment had been inappropriately parked. Clearing customs and immigration was relatively straightforward but we waited in arrivals for our other family members to help them transfer to another terminal. This took longer than it should as one of their suitcases was still at LAX! Our flight to Melbourne was then delayed due to the Sydney weather. When we arrived in Melbourne, eight hours after what would have been the QF94 arrival, our suitcases did not appear on the allocated baggage carousel. After some time, a fellow traveller suggested they may be on a different carousel where, without any guidance or announcement from Qantas staff, we found them. They had obviously come down on an earlier flight and, to add insult to injury, my suit-fold soft case was soaked through, obviously having been left exposed on the Sydney tarmac. But it doesn’t end there. It became apparent that any compensation wouldn’t be automatic, so I called the gold member “priority” phone line and after a 40-minute wait on hold was told I needed to apply online, which I did immediately. In the application, under my wife’s name as she was most impacted, I made it clear we both wanted compensation because we were separated, because of the stress caused and time wasted, and that any refund for the downgrade should be on the basis of the difference between discounted business to discounted premium economy fares (as we bought our tickets during a sale). Had we wished to fly premium economy — which we didn’t — it too would have been at a discounted price. Further review of social media now suggests we will probably spend the next four to six weeks following up and in dispute over compensation. Canberra’s Qantas protection racket goes far beyond Albo’s airline upgrades Read More Qantas scheduled and sold us direct Los Angeles to Melbourne return business class tickets, which we purchased in good faith. With the push of a button they chose not to honour them and, in the absence of other advice, it would appear they did so purely for cost saving. This is clearly false and deceptive practice. With that decision to push that button they: Disrupted the plans of all those booked to Melbourne and Brisbane; Delayed those booked to Sydney; Assumed everyone sees Sydney as a convenient hub, even though they knew Sydney operations were hampered by weather; Burdened ground staff both at Sydney and LAX to deal with hundreds of variously frustrated, stressed, disappointed and/or angry customers; Downgraded service levels that were paid for in advance; Separated my wife and I; Wasted eight hours of our time which required rescheduling other plans for that day; Lost luggage; Provided no cogent explanation; and, Required me to now seek compensation, cap in hand. A senior industry executive informs me that the LAX routes are well known as the most profitable for Qantas but moreover, on a cost-per-kilometre basis, are the most expensive of any route for any airline in the world. But this still isn’t good enough. They still seek more without regard to long-suffering, paying passengers, preying on their loyalty. I have travelled for work for more than 45 years and used to take pride in coming home on QF. Now even as a lifetime gold frequent flyer, I will avoid flying with them where I can and feel rather stupid for being too loyal for too long to Qantas, which is clearly not reciprocated. Some have suggested this is the result of the extended reign of the previous CEO. That may be a contributor, but I fear the root cause is simply a lack of appropriate regulation (unlike the EU and the recent US legislation) and undue protection from competition. Once a great airline, the only thing they now excel in is lobbying and PR. I hope the compensation is fair and prompt, but I have been taken as a fool by QF before.

The murder case involving the UnitedHealthcare CEO has taken an intriguing turn, as potential clues regarding back pain emerge. Suspect Luigi Mangione, held in Pennsylvania, reportedly left traces on social media suggesting a history of spinal issues, complicating the narrative surrounding the crime. Mangione, from a prominent family, faces murder charges in New York. Though the motive remains unclear, online detectives have suggested a possible connection between his alleged back pain struggles and the crime. His social media profiles feature indications of spinal problems, including x-rays and book reviews on back pain management. While no definitive diagnosis or treatment has been confirmed, experts suggest such conditions, if severe, can impact a person's life significantly. Observers now question whether this personal distress played a role in the developments leading up to the accused murder. (With inputs from agencies.)
NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge won't be bothered if free agent Juan Soto gets a bigger deal from the New York Yankees than the captain's $360 million , nine-year contract. “It ain’t my money. I really don’t care as long as we get the best players, we get the most that we can, I’m happy with whatever,” Judge said Friday, a day after he was a unanimous winner of his second AL MVP award. “That's never been something on my mind about who gets paid the most.” Judge led the major leagues with 58 homers, 144 RBIs and 133 walks while hitting .322 as New York reached the World Series for the first time since 2009, only to lose to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Soto batted .288 with 41 homers, 109 RBIs and 129 walks in his first season with the Yankees and finished third in MVP voting, also trailing Kansas City shortstop Bobby Witt. Jr. A free agent at 26, Soto has met with the Yankees, Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox, and he plans to meet with the Philadelphia Phillies, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the meetings have not been publicly announced. Negotiations are not likely to intensify until after Thanksgiving. The Yankees sent a delegation to meet with Soto on Monday including owner Hal Steinbrenner, team president Randy Levine, general manager Brian Cashman, manager Aaron Boone and senior adviser for baseball operations Omar Minaya. “We had a good meeting. It was a very honest back-and-forth dialogue, a couple hours long,” Steinbrenner said Wednesday. Asked how confident he was about keeping Soto, Steinbrenner said: “No idea. We’ll be in the mix. I’ll leave it at that.” Soto and Judge filled the Nos. 2 and 3 slots in the Yankees batting order in a franchise-record 153 games, topping the 145 of Joe Dugan and Babe Ruth in 1923, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. “I get to see a lot of pitches," Judge said. "He's going to be a tough at-bat in front of me. He’s going to wear down the pitcher right there in the first inning, within the first 15 pitches or so. Yeah, I think that was a big impact just having having a guy like that in front of you. "If I could have eight Juan Sotos in the lineup with me, I would love that.” AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB

NEW YORK (AP) — The leaders of Kamala Harris' presidential campaign insist they simply didn't have enough time to execute a winning strategy against Donald Trump , pointing to “ferocious" political headwinds that were ultimately too much to overcome in the 107-day period after President Joe Biden stepped aside . Harris' leadership team, speaking on the “Pod Save America” podcast that aired on Tuesday, defended strategic decisions over the campaign's closing days, some of which have faced scrutiny in the weeks since Trump's decisive victory . Specifically, they defended Harris' outreach to Republican voters, her unwillingness to distance herself from Biden, her silence on Trump's attacks on her transgender policies and her inability to schedule an interview with popular podcaster Joe Rogan.
Marilyn Mansion has dropped a lawsuit against Evan Rachel Wood, and been ordered to pay her attorney's fees. , in the wake of Wood's documentary, her film about surviving abuse. Manson's lawsuit alleged that Wood and associate Illma Gore hacked into Manson's computers and social media accounts, manufactured evidence that he was emailing illicit pornography, impersonated an FBI agent, provided checklists of alleged crimes to prospective accusers, and knowingly made false statements and defamatory claims. "Marilyn Manson – whose real name is Brian Warner – filed a lawsuit against Ms. Wood as a publicity stunt to try to undermine the credibility of his many accusers and revive his faltering career," reads the statement from Wood's legal team. "But his attempt to silence and intimidate Ms. Wood failed. As the trial court correctly found, Warner's claims were meritless. Warner's decision to finally abandon his lawsuit and pay Ms. Wood her full fee award of almost $327,000 only confirms as much." In March, , but filed an appeal in August. Now Warner has dropped the suit against Wood and Gore, and has agreed to pay their costs. “After four years of fighting a battle where he was able to tell the truth, Brian is pleased to dismiss his still-pending claims and appeal in order to close the door on this chapter of his life,” says Manson's attorney. Manson was also accused of abusive behaviour by actress Esmé Bianco, known for her appearances in . The 41-year-old sued the musician for in 2021, before the case was ultimately in January 2023. Late last year, Manson's former personal assistant Ashley Walters had her lawsuit against her former employer reinstated after a court in California upheld her appeal against an earlier ruling that dismissed her claim.

Favourite Serbian trumpeter: Dejan Petrović.Trump names Andrew Ferguson as head of Federal Trade Commission to replace Lina KhanThe Senedd signed off on a 16 per cent budget increase, with the Welsh Parliament set to expand to accommodate an additional 36 politicians from 2026. Members voted 31-13 to approve the Senedd Commission’s £83.8m for 2025/26, which includes an extra £11.6m for the reforms, public-sector pay and infrastructure. Hefin David described next year’s spending plans for the commission – which is responsible for support services and the Senedd estate – as a transformational, step-change budget. The Caerphilly Senedd member, who is the commissioner responsible for the budget, said the 16 per cent uplift will cover a 60 per cent increase in the size of the Senedd. But the Conservatives criticised the “ballooning” costs, describing Senedd reform as the wrong priority while around one in five people in Wales are waiting for NHS treatment. Leading a debate on November 20, Dr David said the budget for the 12 months from April will address four key pressures: He said the £6.5m allocated to the reform programme includes costs for employing new staff, and reconfiguring the debating chamber and new members’ offices. Dr David told the Senedd: “In these turbulent times strengthening a democracy is often a difficult but certainly noble endeavour. “While I in no way devalue the objections of those opposed to reform, those members who have supported Senedd expansion have done so to build a stronger parliament for the people of Wales.” Janet-Finch Saunders, the Conservative Senedd commissioner, said the budget reflects significant efforts to ensure effective management of public funds. She told the Senedd that the costs compare favourably with the Scottish Parliament which is nearly £200,000 more expensive per member. But she reiterated her party’s opposition to expansion, saying: “We still believe that these resources would be better allocated to essential public services, such as health care, education, our road infrastructure, social services – I could go on.” Ms Finch-Saunders told the chamber that she had been inundated with messages from members of the public calling for a referendum of expansion.NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks rose to records Tuesday after Donald Trump’s latest talk about tariffs created only some ripples on Wall Street, even if they could roil the global economy were they to take effect. The S&P 500 climbed 0.6% to top the all-time high it set a couple weeks ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 123 points, or 0.3%, to its own record set the day before, while the Nasdaq composite gained 0.6% as Microsoft and Big Tech led the way. Stock markets abroad mostly fell after President-elect Trump said he plans to impose sweeping new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China once he takes office. But the movements were mostly modest. Stock indexes were down 0.1% in Shanghai and nearly flat in Hong Kong, while Canada’s main index edged down by less than 0.1%. Trump has often praised the use of tariffs , but investors are weighing whether his latest threat will actually become policy or is just an opening point for negotiations. For now, the market seems to be taking it more as the latter. The consequences otherwise for markets and the global economy could be painful. Unless the United States can prepare alternatives for the autos, energy products and other goods that come from Mexico, Canada and China, such tariffs would raise the price of imported items all at once and make households poorer, according to Carl Weinberg and Rubeela Farooqi, economists at High Frequency Economics. They would also hurt profit margins for U.S. companies, while raising the threat of retaliatory tariffs by other countries. And unlike tariffs in Trump’s first term, his latest proposal would affect products across the board. General Motors sank 9%, and Ford Motor fell 2.6% because both import automobiles from Mexico. Constellation Brands, which sells Modelo and other Mexican beer brands in the United States, dropped 3.3%. The value of the Mexican peso fell 1.8% against the U.S. dollar. Beyond the pain such tariffs would cause U.S. households and businesses, they could also push the Federal Reserve to slow or even halt its cuts to interest rates. The Fed had just begun easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high a couple months ago to offer support for the job market . While lower interest rates can boost the economy, they can also offer more fuel for inflation. “Many” officials at the Fed’s last meeting earlier this month said they should lower rates gradually, according to minutes of the meeting released Tuesday afternoon. The talk about tariffs overshadowed another mixed set of profit reports from U.S. retailers that answered few questions about how much more shoppers can keep spending. They’ll need to stay resilient after helping the economy avoid a recession, despite the high interest rates imposed by the Fed to get inflation under control. A report on Tuesday from the Conference Board said confidence among U.S. consumers improved in November, but not by as much as economists expected. Kohl’s tumbled 17% after its results for the latest quarter fell short of analysts’ expectations. CEO Tom Kingsbury said sales remain soft for apparel and footwear. A day earlier, Kingsbury said he plans to step down as CEO in January. Ashley Buchanan, CEO of Michaels and a retail veteran, will replace him. Best Buy fell 4.9% after likewise falling short of analysts’ expectations. Dick’s Sporting Goods topped forecasts for the latest quarter thanks to a strong back-to-school season, but its stock lost an early gain to fall 1.4%. Still, more stocks rose in the S&P 500 than fell. J.M. Smucker had one of the biggest gains and climbed 5.7% after topping analysts’ expectations for the latest quarter. CEO Mark Smucker credited strength for its Uncrustables, Meow Mix, Café Bustelo and Jif brands. Big Tech stocks also helped prop up U.S. indexes. Gains of 3.2% for Amazon and 2.2% for Microsoft were the two strongest forces lifting the S&P 500. All told, the S&P 500 rose 34.26 points to 6,021.63. The Dow gained 123.74 to 44,860.31, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 119.46 to 19,174.30. In the bond market, Treasury yields held relatively steady following their big drop from a day before driven by relief following Trump’s pick for Treasury secretary. The yield on the 10-year Treasury inched up to 4.29% from 4.28% late Monday, but it’s still well below the 4.41% level where it ended last week. In the crypto market, bitcoin continued to pull back after topping $99,000 for the first time late last week. It’s since dipped back toward $91,000, according to CoinDesk. It’s a sharp turnaround from the bonanza that initially took over the crypto market following Trump’s election. That boom had also appeared to have spilled into some corners of the stock market. Strategists at Barclays Capital pointed to stocks of unprofitable companies, along with other areas that can be caught up in bursts of optimism by smaller-pocketed “retail” investors.
