Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia The 2024 Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, continues to share more details about events that transpired after Election Day. Dr. Bawumia, the Vice President of Ghana, in a viral video clip, disclosed to a gathering the moment his team got to know that they had lost the election. He disclosed that they got to know that they had lost the election just eight hours after voting had been completed, around 3 am on Sunday, December 8, 2024. “(sic) the results and it was clear we were not winning this particular election. I thought it was not good to leave the country under tension for any length of time. In fact, by 3 am, we knew that we had lost the election. The Electoral Commission was going to take a few days to get to that conclusion. “But our own collation, the data that we got from all the polling stations, was clear that we were not going to win this election. And so the question was, should we wait for the Electoral Commission to go through its processes and then announce in a few days’ time or do I go out immediately? There were different opinions, but I made the decision that it was better to go out. At 3 am it was a bit early, people were sleeping,” he said. The vice president said that he decided to inform the people of Ghana about his concession in the morning. He explained that he believed that the concession would help ease the tension and avert the potential of violence as the country awaited the Electoral Commission to declare the official election results. “So, I decided that we’ll do it at 9 am on Sunday morning. And so, we gathered the press and then I made my announcement that morning to say my opponent had won decisively and we are conceding the election. And I think that that helped bring down the tension in the country and help the process of the transition. I made that early concession to preserve our peace in Ghana because otherwise we could have had many, many, you know, incidents of violence across and I could see the potential,” he added.

The news was additionally confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter by wife Jacqueline Deuel. The performer, younger brother to Peter Duel (who became known for portraying Hannibal Heyes/Joshua Smith on the popular ABC Western Alias Smith and Jones prior to his suicide), died in hospice care in Florida following a battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. “He and Peter were very close,” Jacqueline Deuel told THR . “They really loved each other and took care of each other.” Deuel, who was born Jan. 17, 1943, mostly appeared on television in a variety of series stretching from the late ’60s to mid-’70s. Among those credits are The Monkees , The Invaders , The F.B.I. , The Manhunter , Medical Center , Barnaby Jones, Mannix , Adam-12 , The Mod Squad , Mission: Impossible , The Streets of San Francisco , Ironside , Cannon , The Young and the Restless , To Rome With Love and more. Born in Lockport, New York to a doctor father and nurse mother, he was raised in nearby Penfield. After attending Penfield High School, Ithaca College and Syracuse University, Deuel followed in his brother’s footsteps, beginning his career in Hollywood in 1965. The following year, he appeared in an episode of ABC’s 12 O’Clock High . Deuel and Duel, who was three years his senior, worked alongside one another on a 1971 episode of NBC’s The Name of the Game . In the 1980s, Deuel acted in plays in Tampa, Fla. and returned to higher education to earn a master’s degree from the University of South Florida. Thereafter, he became a substitute teacher. He is survived by his wife — whom he married in 2017 after four decades together — and younger sister Pamela.9 inch gaming tablet 。

Wednesday, Dec. 11, saw the monthly meeting of the Chadron Public Schools Board of Education, and a new face on the board. Adam Hoesing will fill a vacancy on the board created by the removal of previous board member Cameron “Tye” Pourier at the November meeting. Hoesing said he’s always been involved with public entities and was recommended to apply for the board position. An attorney for 12 years working primarily with public entities in cities, counties and political subdivisions, Hoesing also has four children in the school system. He’s also an assistant professor in Chadron State College’s Justice Studies program. His primary focus, he said, is to listen, contribute and to help the district be as good as it always has been. Board President Boone Huffman explained the Personnel Committee met for nearly three hours on Dec. 11 and interviewed six applicants. Huffman said it was surprising to have six well-qualified applicants for the position, considering it’s hard to find people willing to run for board spots during the regular elections. Hoesing will initially take over Pourier’s committee appointments until the board realigns and be a voting member beginning with the board’s January meeting. The committee utilized questions from the Nebraska Association of School Boards and put together a rubrik so everyone would be graded objectively. Following interviews, the committee put graded applicants on a point system to determine the best applicant in Hoesing. Adam Hoesing Board member Tom Menke said the decision to fill the spot was very close, emphasizing they had six well-qualified applicants. Board member Colleen Margetts was appreciative of the rubrik system to make things as objective as possible. Huffman added it ensured every applicant was asked the exact same questions. Also at the meeting, results from the annual superintendent evaluation were presented. The evaluation is not only done by board members on Superintendent Ginger Meyer, but she also performs a self-evaluation. Huffman said this year they switched to a digital format, and found it interesting that both the board’s and Meyer’s lowest scores were in the same category. He said this shows they’re in tune and know where work is needed. The average score given Meyer, followed by Meyer’s self score – where available — in each category is as follows. Scoring is on a five-point system. • Shared Vision and Strategic Direction – 3.60 • Board Policy and Education System – 4.60; 5.0 • Collaboration with Families and Community – 4.0; 4.0 • Continuous Improvement and Accountability– 4.0; 5.0 • Teaching and Learning – 4.4; 4.0 • Personnel Leadership – 4.2; 4.0 • Business, Finance, Facilities and Managerial Leadership – 4.6; 5.0 • Equity, Climate and Culture – 4.0; 4.0 • Professional Development, Ethics and Leadership – 4.4; 4.0 Meyer felt she had more comment from the board this year with the online process, as it provided board members opportunity to write sentences and paragraphs in their comments, rather than just the two or three words they might have shared in previous years.

Israel strikes Houthi rebels in Yemen's capital while the WHO chief says he was meters away JERUSALEM (AP) — A new round of Israeli airstrikes in Yemen have targeted the Houthi rebel-held capital of Sanaa and multiple ports. The World Health Organization’s director-general said the bombardment on Thursday took place near him, as he was about to board a flight in Sanaa. He says a crew member was hurt. The strikes followed several days of Houthi attacks and launches setting off sirens in Israel. Israel's military says it attacked infrastructure used by the Houthis at the international airport in Sanaa, power stations and ports. The Israeli military didn't immediate respond to questions about the WHO chief's statement. Trump has pressed for voting changes. GOP majorities in Congress will try to make that happen ATLANTA (AP) — Republicans in Congress plan to move quickly in their effort to overhaul the nation’s voting procedures, seeing an opportunity with control of the White House and both chambers of Congress. They want to push through long-sought changes such as voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. They say the measures are needed to restore public confidence in elections. That's after an erosion of trust that Democrats note has been fueled by false claims from Donald Trump and his allies of widespread fraud in the 2020 election. Democrats say they are willing to work with the GOP but want any changes to make it easier, not harder, to vote. Americans are exhausted by political news. TV ratings and a new AP-NORC poll show they're tuning out NEW YORK (AP) — A lot of Americans, after an intense presidential election campaign, are looking for a break in political news. That's evident in cable television news ratings and a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The poll found nearly two-thirds of Americans saying they've found the need recently to cut down on their consumption of political and government news. That's particularly true among Democrats following President-elect Donald Trump's victory, although a significant number of Republicans and independents feel the same way. Cable networks MSNBC and CNN are really seeing a slump. That's also happened in years past for networks that particularly appeal to supporters of one candidate. Israel's plan to double the number of settlers in the Golan Heights is met with conflicting emotions EIN ZIVAN, Golan Heights (AP) — Earlier this month, Syrian leader Bashar Assad was ousted after nearly 25 years in power. Within hours, Israeli tanks rolled into the Golan Heights' demilitarized buffer zone in Syria created as part of a 1974 ceasefire between the countries. Days later, the Israeli government approved a plan to double the population of settlers in the Golan Heights. Israel seized the mountainous region from Syria in 1967, and most of the world considers it occupied Syrian territory. In the towns and kibbutzim of Israeli-controlled Golan, the news has been met with a mixture of skepticism, excitement and shock. Previous attempts to encourage more settlement in the Golan have received a lukewarm response. How the stock market defied expectations again this year, by the numbers NEW YORK (AP) — What a wonderful year 2024 has been for investors. U.S. stocks ripped higher and carried the S&P 500 to records as the economy kept growing and the Federal Reserve began cutting interest rates. The benchmark index posted its first back-to-back annual gains of more than 20% since 1998. The year featured many familiar winners, such as Big Tech, which got even bigger as their stock prices kept growing. But it wasn’t just Apple, Nvidia and the like. Bitcoin and gold surged and “Roaring Kitty” reappeared to briefly reignite the meme stock craze. 6,000 inmates escape from a high-security prison in Mozambique amid post-election violence MAPUTO, Mozambique. (AP) — Mozambique’s police chief has said that at least 6,000 inmates have escaped from a high-security prison in the capital on Christmas Day after a rebellion, as widespread post-election riots and violence continue to engulf the country. The police chief Bernardino Rafael said 33 prisoners died and 15 others were injured during a confrontation with the security forces. The escape from the Maputo Central Prison, located 14 km southwest of the capital, started around midday Wednesday after “agitation” by a “group of subversive protesters” nearby, Rafael said, adding that prisoners at the facility snatched weapons from prison warders and started freeing other detainees. Holiday shoppers increased spending by 3.8% despite higher prices New data shows holiday sales rose this year even as Americans wrestled with still high prices in many grocery necessities and other financial worries. According to Mastercard SpendingPulse, holiday sales from the beginning of November through Christmas Eve climbed 3.8%, a faster pace than the 3.1% increase from a year earlier. The measure tracks all kinds of payments including cash and debit cards. This year, retailers were even more under the gun to get shoppers in to buy early and in bulk since there were five fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Mastercard SpendingPulse says the last five days of the season accounted for 10% of the spending. Sales of clothing, electronics and Jewelry rose. Pope brings Holy Year and prayers for better future to Rome prison, a 'cathedral of pain and hope' ROME (AP) — Pope Francis is bringing his Holy Year to Rome’s main prison. Francis traveled to Rebibbia prison Thursday on a frigid morning. He knocked on the door to the chapel and walked across the threshold. It was reenacting the gesture he performed at St. Peter’s Basilica two nights earlier on Christmas Eve. The opening of the Basilica's Holy Door officially kicked off the Jubilee year. It's a church tradition dating to 1300 that nowadays occurs every 25 years and involves the faithful coming to Rome on pilgrimages. About 32 million people are expected in Rome in 2025. India's former prime minister Manmohan Singh, architect of economic reforms, dies aged 92 NEW DELHI (AP) — India’s former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, widely regarded as the architect of India’s economic reform program and a landmark nuclear deal with the United States, has died. He was 92. The hospital said Singh was admitted to New Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences late Thursday after his health deteriorated due to “sudden loss of consciousness at home.". He was “being treated for age-related medical conditions,” the statement added. A mild-mannered technocrat, Singh became one of India’s longest-serving prime ministers for 10 years and earned a reputation as a man of great personal integrity. But his sterling image was tainted by allegations of corruption against his ministers. Why this Mexican American woman played a vital role in the US sacramental peyote trade MIRANDO CITY, Texas (AP) — Amada Cardenas, a Mexican American woman who lived in the tiny border town of Mirando City in South Texas, played an important role in the history of the peyote trade. She and her husband were the first federally licensed peyote dealers who harvested and sold the sacramental plant to followers of the Native American Church in the 1930s. After her husband's death in 1967, Cardenas continued to welcome generations of Native American Church members to her home until her death in 2005, just before her 101st birthday.The BDN Opinion section operates independently and does not set news policies or contribute to reporting or editing articles elsewhere in the newspaper or on bangordailynews.com Patrick Walsh of Belfast is retired from work in law enforcement and child abuse prevention. Maine residents should strongly support the Maine attorney general’s decision to take action against oil and gas companies and their trade association for allegedly downplaying the dangers of climate change. The suit alleges that they bear responsibility for decades-long deceptions enabling them to make enormous sums of money with minor interference from government regulators. Previous legal actions establishing deception by tobacco companies and opioid makers have resulted in settlement agreements bringing millions of dollars to Maine to address the harm caused to Maine residents by those dishonest business practices. Experiments conducted by Eunice Newton Foote , a scientist, in 1856, were the first to identify that “carbonic acid gas” now known as carbon dioxide, increased the temperature of air mixed with the gas and exposed to the sun’s rays. Her conclusion, “An atmosphere of that gas would give to our earth a high temperature.” Irish physicist John Tyndall experimented in 1859 with coal gas. He wrote: “Thus the atmosphere admits of the entrance of the solar heat; but checks its exit, and the result is a tendency to accumulate heat at the surface of the planet.” (Namely, “greenhouse gas”). 100 years pass and the oil, gas and auto industries began to be confronted by questions concerning pollution. Their own research was alarming to them. In November 2024, The Guardian reported that in 1953 oil and automobile interests founded the Air Pollution Foundation, to address public outcry over smog that was blanketing Los Angeles County. The reporting disclosed the discovery and content of internal memos distributed among representatives of oil and gas businesses. The Guardian reported in January that “the fossil fuel industry funded some of the world’s most foundational climate science as early as 1954, newly unearthed documents have shown, including the early research of Charles Keeling, who developed the so called ‘Keeling Curve’ that has charted the upward march of the Earth’s carbon dioxide levels.” Carroll Muffett, chief executive of the Center for International Environmental Law, observed: “These documents talk about CO2 emissions having planetary implications, meaning this industry understood extraordinarily early on that fossil fuel combustion was profound on a planetary scale,” the Guardian reported. But for 70 more years the industries have done little except question the science, deflect blame, and influence politicians through lobbying and political contributions. Donald Trump has said that on day one of his term it’s going to be “ Drill Baby Drill ,” America should increase its energy production and human-caused climate change is “ a hoax .” The Washington Post reported in May that Trump essentially told a group of oil executives “You all are wealthy enough ... that you should raise $1 billion to return me to the White House.” “At the dinner, he vowed to immediately reverse dozens of President Biden’s environmental rules and policies and stop new ones from being enacted, according to people with knowledge of the meeting, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a private conversation,” the Post reported. Annually, humans cause the release of millions of metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The U.S. Energy Information Administration reports : “Burning a gallon of gasoline (not containing ethanol) produces about 19 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2 ).” NASA Science reports “once it’s added to the atmosphere, it hangs around, for a long time: between 300 to 1,000 years. Thus, as humans change the atmosphere by emitting carbon dioxide, those changes will endure on the timescale of many human lives.” Al Gore titled a book and documentary film on climate change, “An Inconvenient Truth.” We face unimaginable inconvenience. Transportation, energy production, home heating all rely on fossil fuels. Alternatives exist, but there is no easy and quick move from fossil fuels to safer alternatives. We bear responsibility for creating a livable climate for current and future human lives. We need to reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations and convert to less harmful energy production. The fossil fuel and automotive industries must be part of the solution. More articles from the BDN

Hurts was injured by a tackle from Washington's Frankie Luvu and Bobby Wagner at the end of an 11-yard run to the Washington 21. He briefly appeared about to return but was taken to the locker room. He was later ruled out for the rest of the game. Back-up Kenny Pickett came on and completed the drive with a 4-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Brown. The Eagles (12-2) are in pursuit of the top seed in the NFC, alongside the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings, who are likewise 12-2.
