As the whispers of the alleged "haunted house" grew louder, local media picked up on the story, turning the neighborhood dispute into a much-publicized debate.

As many people were getting ready for Christmas Day, one father and daughter went out to spread a bit of Christmas cheer. Chris Cork and his daughter Luna went around several parks in Manchester hiding boxes of chocolates for people to find. Chris, 35, and Luna, 4, took several selection boxes around locations near the family home in Little Lever. He then posted an alert online inviting people to go and out and find them. The engineer, who is also active on social media, shared that were 15 boxes in four different locations. These were Mytham Park, Ladyshore Park, the Park in Suffolk Close, and Little Lever Library. He wrote: "Said it wasn’t going to rain but we’ve put them hopefully where they don’t get wet! Go grab one!! They’ve got individual trackers on so we know where they go." Chris spoke to the Manchester Evening News about what made him carry out the Christmas gesture. He said: "I hope it can brush off on other people. It's not a massive thing, I just want people to read it and think I'm going to do a little bit of that. I just want that to be the message." The sweet treats were placed around several parks (Image: Chris Cork) "It encourages people to go out as well. It just spreads a bit of niceness." Many people shared their thanks, and shared how they had found a box. Anne Calderbank wrote: "Thank you very much, my granddaughter pick one up on mytham park. Merry Christmas to you all." Claire Mills wrote: "Thank you so much my 2 have just been and got one each," while Victoria Heyes replied: "We've just been and got picked some up for my 4 children. Thank you so much, really kind of you." Several people shared how they had gone to find some of the festive treats (Image: Chris Cork) Chris has also visited local foodbanks to help out, and wants to encourage people to help out others in their community. He shared his message for anyone who is thinking about doing something to help out. "Just do it," he said. "I feel like everybody's in a rush these days. Nobody's got time for each other. Just do it, and it will open your eyes massively. "Some people don't understand that there's people who really struggling and are too proud to ask for help. If people can see that and think that's a really thing, people message saying how can I get involved. "It's a community thing. There's too much negativity in the world at the moment."

Residents in the capital spent the day at Tanger Outlets in Kanata, looking to put the finishing touches on their holiday shopping, while others were just getting started. Getu Asefa was one of the dozens completing his list. He shovelled himself out of his home Christmas Eve morning and drove an hour to Tanger to beat the rush. "I'm a dad of three boys, so I'm going to buy some pair of shoes for them," Asefa said. "Maybe a gift for my wife too." But why do so many people choose to do their shopping so close to Christmas? Well, Asefa says, having a family to care for and a job, it's hard for him to find the time. "This is the time I found for moving around. I don't shop much so this time is going to be enough for me, maybe one or two hours," Asefa said. Across the city on Bank Street, more of the same. Caroline Workman says it's about finding that finish touch for her loved ones, while also supporting local shops. "This is an amazing community. You want these businesses to thrive, and the holidays is the perfect time to support them," Workman said. "I live in the Glebe, so I'm a big shop local – so it's a matter of just running out of my house and coming down Bank Street." Workman says it's also nice getting something in return as well. "It's Glebe Spree, which is the other bonus," Workman said. "You shop here, and you get these stickers and you have a chance of winning some cash prizes, which is also an incentive to shop, so now most of my Christmases are really focused on shopping local."

Singapore—Meralco PowerGen Corp. (MGen), the power generation unit of Meralco., seeks to bolster its baseload portfolio by 1,280 megawatts (MW) with two coal plants awaiting the government’s green light. Coal plants are usually used as baseload, or the minimum power that needs to be injected into the grid at any given time, as they are the technology that can deliver the cheapest power around the clock. MGen’s baseload capacity is currently at 1,395 MW. READ: MGen’s Singapore unit vies for $900-M project In a chat with reporters, Emmanuel Rubio, president of MGen, said he learned the Department of Energy (DOE) was leaning toward giving them certificates of exception from the coal ban. The DOE had imposed a moratorium on new coal plants to control the country’s carbon emissions and support the government’s push to shift to clean energy. In July, the DOE clarified there was no total ban, which meant that existing and operational facilities that have made commitments for expansion may proceed. The group’s proposed coal-fired power plant project in Atimonan, Quezon province, Rubio previously said, was included in a list of projects that have already been “committed,” or projects that are in various stages of development. The project had also secured an environmental compliance certificate for the 1,200-MW project that claims to have low emissions. The Toledo facility, meanwhile, has original construction permits covering two units, with 80 MW each. Currently, it is running at an 82-MW capacity. Toledo Power Corp. is under Global Business Power, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of MGen. Rubio said the firm was already in talks with potential contractors and equipment suppliers for the planned Atimonan coal plant. “We have two candidates in Atimonan and so far we have one sure candidate for Toledo which was the original supplier, Formosa Heavy Industries,” he said late Tuesday. The official said MGen was likely to invest $1.6 million per MW. Once MGen secures the exception certificates, Rubio hopes to get the board’s go signal to proceed to the next stage, which would cover a feasibility study and engineering works.

WASHINGTON — For someone who has made winning a key part of his personal, professional and political brand, Donald Trump is set to rely on a large stable of losers in his second term. The president-elect has tapped more than a dozen people who previously lost elections to join his administration next year. Even though both parties love to deride unsuccessful candidates who run again, the term “loser” doesn’t have to be a pejorative. Losing candidates regularly get elected later, including in the 2014 and 2020 election cycles. It also isn’t a disqualifying factor to serve a president, or even to serve as president. Of the eight most recent presidential winners, all have had prior election losses on their résumés, including Trump (2020 presidential general election), Joe Biden (1988 and 2008 Democratic presidential primaries), Barack Obama (2000 Democratic primary for U.S. House in Illinois), George W. Bush (1978 House race in Texas), Bill Clinton (1974 House loss and 1980 reelection defeat as Arkansas governor), George H. W. Bush (1964 and 1970 Senate races in Texas and 1980 GOP presidential primary), Ronald Reagan (1976 GOP presidential primary) and Jimmy Carter (1966 Democratic gubernatorial primary in Georgia). But the large number of losing candidates potentially coming into the second Trump administration is striking compared with recent presidents. Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, Biden’s and Obama’s secretary of Agriculture, ran unsuccessfully for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. Pete Buttigieg, Biden’s current Transportation secretary, fell short in his bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. In 2008, Hillary Clinton lost the Democratic presidential primary to Obama before becoming his secretary of State. And Republican Ray LaHood lost election for a full term to the Illinois state House in 1982, 12 years before getting elected to Congress and about 26 years before he became Obama’s Transportation secretary. Trump hasn’t even taken office yet, and he’s already named at least 17 electoral losers to join his administration. They include: Secretary of State Florida Sen. Marco Rubio lost the 2016 GOP presidential primary to Trump, highlighted by an infamous debate performance before New Hampshire Republicans went to the polls. Secretary of Education Connecticut Republican Linda McMahon lost Senate bids in 2010 (to Democrat Richard Blumenthal) and 2012 (to Democrat Christopher S. Murphy). Secretary of Labor Republican Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer lost reelection this month to Democrat Janelle Bynum, 48% to 45%, in Oregon’s 5th District. Secretary of the Interior North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum sought the 2024 GOP presidential nomination but ended his bid late last year. Secretary of Veterans Affairs Former Georgia Rep. Doug Collins lost a 2020 special election for Senate in Georgia, finishing behind Democrat Raphael Warnock and Republican Kelly Loeffler. Loeffler, who was apparently under serious consideration to be Trump’s next Agriculture secretary, lost to Warnock in a runoff. Secretary of Defense Military veteran and Fox News host Pete Hegseth ran for Senate in Minnesota in 2012 but dropped out before the primary. The former Princeton Tigers guard also lost to North Carolina in the first round of the 2001 NCAA March Madness basketball tournament, 70-48. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Scott Turner lost a 2006 House special election in California to succeed disgraced Republican Rep. Duke Cunningham, finishing eighth out of 17 candidates with 1.5% of the vote. Turner subsequently moved to Texas and was elected to the state Legislature in 2012, although he subsequently lost a race for state House speaker three years later. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was on his way to losing the 2024 Democratic primary to Biden before dropping out to run as an independent in the general election, which he would have lost to Trump had he not dropped out a few months before Election Day. Environmental Protection Agency administrator Former New York Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin lost a spirited 2022 race for New York governor to Democratic incumbent Kathy Hochul, 53% to 47%. U.S. ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker lost a 2002 race for Iowa treasurer, 55% to 43%, to Democrat Michael Fitzgerald. He also lost a bid for Senate in 2014, finishing in fourth place with 8% in the GOP primary won by Joni Ernst. Director of National Intelligence Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services administrator Celebrity physician and TV personality Mehmet Oz defeated Dave McCormick in the 2022 GOP Senate primary in Pennsylvania before losing the general election to Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman. (McCormick won the commonwealth’s other Senate seat this year.) U.S. ambassador to Canada Former Rep. Pete Hoekstra lost the 2010 GOP primary for Michigan governor to Rick Snyder and the 2012 Senate race to Democratic incumbent Debbie Stabenow. U.S. ambassador to Israel Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee lost a 1992 race for lieutenant governor and ran unsuccessfully for the GOP presidential nomination in 2008 and 2016. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Former Florida Rep. Dave Weldon lost the 2012 Republican nomination for Senate to Rep. Connie Mack IV. Earlier this year, he also lost a GOP primary for the Florida House by 30 points to state Sen. Debbie Mayfield. Department of Government Efficiency co-leader Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy ran unsuccessfully for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.

Tafara Gapare scored a season-high 19 points off the bench and Derik Queen added 15 points and eight rebounds, lifting Maryland to a 91-67 victory over Bucknell on Wednesday in College Park, Md. Gapare made 7 of 9 shots from the floor -- including 3 of 4 from 3-point range. He highlighted his performance by unleashing a personal 10-point run in the second half to help send the Terrapins (6-1) to their third straight win. Gapare, who made one 3-pointer prior to Wednesday's game, was limited to just three minutes and was held without a point in Maryland's 76-75 victory versus Villanova on Sunday. Julian Reese scored 14 points for the Terrapins, who shot a robust 50.0 percent from the floor and scored 22 points off 20 turnovers. Selton Miguel drained three 3-pointers to score all 13 of his points in the first half. That effort came three days after being held without a point versus Villanova. Bucknell's Ruot Bijiek sank four 3-pointers to highlight his 20-point performance. Josh Bascoe scored 10 points and Brandon McCreesh added nine off the bench for the Bison (4-4), who lost two in a row for the second time this season. Maryland answered Bijiek's layup by scoring 12 straight points to take a 15-2 lead. Miguel keyed the spurt by draining two 3-pointers and a jumper. Bucknell tried to keep pace and trailed 25-12 after McCreesh's layup, but the Terrapins kept their foot on the gas to steadily build a 25-point lead late in the first half. The Bison made a modest charge to begin the second half, trimming the deficit to 16 at 58-42 on Bijiek's fourth 3-pointer of the game. Gapare singlehandedly halted the momentum by sandwiching 3-pointers around a layup and an emphatic dunk over the next five possessions. Reese sank a pair of free throws to cap the 12-0 run, extending Maryland's lead to 70-42 with 11:39 to play. The Terrapins were not threatened the rest of the way. --Field Level MediaHENDERSON, Nev.
