A decades-old non-profit with a mandate of supporting B.C.'s small businesses abruptly declared bankruptcy – resulting in dozens of employees losing their jobs weeks before Christmas. The president of the board of directors for Small Business BC sent a letter to employees Dec. 2 saying an insolvency trustee had been appointed to "begin the bankruptcy process" and that the organization would immediately cease operations. Small Business BC offered a range of services to owners and entrepreneurs, including guidance on how to establish a business and ensure its success. It also received federal and provincial funding. Mark Eversfield worked for the organization for 32 years, making him the longest-tenured employee. He said he and his colleagues were informed about the bankruptcy in a Zoom meeting and described the news as a "bombshell." Workers, according to Eversfield, will not be collecting a final pay cheque, were not given any severance or outstanding holiday pay, and were told to apply for Employment Insurance. "It's a terrible situation," he said. Eversfield says employees were aware there were issues, but that he thought recent moves had been enough to stave off the organization's ruin. "Small Business BC was in a state of financial mismanagement, and the directors had taken over. They had suspended the CEO and the auditor and the COO had resigned," he said. The letter to employees offers next-to-no details about the issues facing the organization. "This decision was not made lightly and reflects the culmination of significant financial challenges that have recently come to light," it said. "These challenges stem from financial issues on several levels that resulted in damage the board was unable to remedy, despite swift action to stabilize the organization and reduce costs." The same day the letter was sent, the organization made its final social media post which links to a now defunct website that consists of a blank page with a single sentence about the bankruptcy. The organization received $2.7 million in federal funding on Nov. 1 – the date of its 21st annual small business awards ceremony. Premier David Eby was asked about the development Monday and said his government's focus will be on making sure provincial taxpayer dollars allocated to funding the non-profit are recovered and that employees are "looked after." Small Business BC offered a range of services to owners and entrepreneurs, including guidance on how to establish a business and ensure its success.

Jamshedpur/Ranchi: In the Jamshedpur (East) constituency, BJP 's political greenhorn Purnima Sahu (30) has emerged victorious after beating warhorse Ajoy Kumar of Congress, securing her family's political heritage. She defeated Kumar by an impressive margin of over 42,000 votes. The seat, which slipped from BJP's grasp in 2019 when former chief minister Raghubar Das lost to independent candidate Saryu Roy, has now returned to the family's fold. Following her victory, Sahu said, "This win is because of the good work done by my father-in-law in the last 25 years as a public representative from this seat. I went to the polls on the development plank and now, I will work towards continuing his activities." The former journalist-turned-homemaker-turned-politician garnered 106,398 votes while Ajoy Kumar managed to secure 62,938 votes. Sahu maintained her lead throughout all 21 rounds of counting.

(AP) — Duke coach Manny Diaz says quarterback Maalik Murphy will face discipline “internally” after extending both of his middle fingers skyward in celebration after throwing a long touchdown pass early in the weekend win against Virginia Tech . Diaz said Monday that Murphy's exuberant gesture, caught on the ACC Network national broadcast, was directed at offensive coordinator Jonathan Brewer in the booth after a bit of practice “banter” from a few days earlier. Diaz said the Texas transfer just let his excitement get away from him but still called it “unacceptable in our program." “There was a practice in the middle of last week when we throwing post after post after post, and we weren't completing them,” Diaz said. “And it was again and again and again and again. And at the end of that, there was a remark made in jest that, ‘If you throw a post for a touchdown in the game, then you can flick me off,’ from Coach Brewer.” Murphy's gesture came after he uncorked a deep ball from deep in Duke's own end and caught Eli Pancol perfectly in stride across midfield, with Pancol racing untouched for an 86-yard score barely 2 minutes into the game. As he began skipping downfield to celebrate, Murphy chest-bumped teammate Star Thomas and then extended both arms in the air with his middle fingers raised. Brewer said Monday he missed the gesture in real time, but then saw it on a replay moments later. “Some things you say on the field when you're coaching obviously isn't meant to be taken literally when you're trying to get after somebody in that world,” Brewer said. Murphy threw for 332 yards and three touchdowns with three interceptions in the 31-28 win for the Blue Devils (8-3, 4-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), who close the regular season at Wake Forest.

Not Purdy: 49ers hit Green Bay with backup QB, no BosaThe old method of collecting water resource fees in Shandong relied on a flat rate system based on water consumption volume. This approach did not provide any incentives for water users to save water or use it more efficiently. With the new tax reform, the calculation of water resource fees will be based on a tiered pricing system, where higher fees will be applied to excessive water usage. This change is expected to encourage individuals and businesses to be more mindful of their water consumption and take steps to reduce waste.
