This Is What Whales Are Betting On Snowflake10 hot-ticket gifts we predict will sell out on Black Friday 2024When the EU introduced new measures forcing Apple to open up its iPhone software, it always seemed overwhelmingly likely that other countries would be watching closely. Now, it looks like the U.K. could be minded to introduce changes. Apple iPhone 16 Plus - is the iPhone going to change in the U.K.? The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority published a report on Friday, Nov. 22, giving its provisional findings in its mobile browsers and Cloud Gaming market investigation. While it says no further action should be taken on cloud gaming, it, “provisionally recommends that the CMA board consider investigating Apple and Google’s mobile ecosystem activities using new digital markets powers.” That phrase digital markets may sound familiar: the EU legislation is called the Digital Markets Act. The provisional findings also say that it proposes no further action be taken on cloud gaming, saying primary concerns have been addressed. This Viral Smart Bassinet Is 30% Off With The Snoo Black Friday Sale The 50 Best Black Friday Deals So Far, According To Our Deals Editors The investigation “has provisionally found that Apple’s rules restrict other competitors from being able to deliver new, innovative features that could benefit consumers. Other browser providers have highlighted concerns that they have been unable to offer a full range of browser features, such as faster webpage loading on iPhone.” As Ben Lovejoy at 9to5Mac comments, “This is likely to see Apple forced to take the same action it already did in the EU – allowing users to choose their default web browser when first setting up a new iPhone.” As Florian Mueller pointed out on X, “The @CMAgovUK has a point in the sense that competition between multiple iOS browsers isn't true and effective competition when all are forced by the dictator (Apple) to use the suboptimal WebKit engine like Safari. Chrome on iOS is not Chrome—it's Safari styled as Chrome.” The provisional decision could mean that the same requirement found on iPhones in the EU for users to be able to choose their browser at set-up could come to the U.K. And after that, who knows where?

(The Center Square) – The latest federal numbers show the U.S. deficit is soaring as President Joe Biden heads out of office. The U.S. Congressional Budget Office released its monthly budget review on Monday, which showed that in the first two months of this fiscal year, the federal government has run up a deficit of $622 billion. “That amount is $242 billion more than the deficit recorded during the same period last fiscal year,” CBO said in its report . That figure means the deficit is nearly 40% higher than this time last year. “The most alarming turkey in November was the federal government’s inability to live within its means,” Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, said in a statement. “We are only two months into the fiscal year, and we have already borrowed a staggering $622 billion, with $365 billion in the month of November alone." Deficits never surpassed one trillion dollars before the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, they remain well above one trillion and for this next fiscal year are well beyond the pace to surpass $1 trillion. The deficit last fiscal year was about $1.8 trillion. Billionaire Elon Musk, now an advisor to President-elect Donald Trump, lamented the debt, which is about $36 trillion, on X Monday. “If we don’t fix the deficit, everything will suffer, including essential spending like DoD, Medicare & Social Security,” Musk said. “It’s not optional.” CBO did explain that some of the increase is from accounting changes. From CBO: The change in the deficit was influenced by the timing of outlays and revenues alike. Outlays in October 2023 were reduced by shifts in the timing of certain federal payments that otherwise would have been due on October 1, 2023, which fell on a Sunday. (Those payments were made in September 2023.) Outlays in November 2024 were boosted by the shift to that month of payments due December 1, 2024, a Saturday. If not for those shifts, the deficit thus far in fiscal year 2025 would have been $541 billion, or $88 billion more than the shortfall at this point last year, and outlays would have been $38 billion more.”

A foot injury delayed the start of her final season, but the senior guard is picking up steam for the Buffaloes (6-2), who will host Tennessee Tech on Tuesday. Formann missed the first three games of the season with an injury, but is finding her groove and scored a season-high 25 points in the Buffs’ 79-71 loss to No. 24 Louisville on Saturday. “It’s been tough kind of being injured and, like, kind of half-in with practice, easing into it,” said Formann, who is averaging 14.3 points per game. “I’m someone that really relies on the reps that I put it in in the gym. I haven’t really been able to put up the same amount of reps just because of load management and stuff. So yeah, it was really nice to kind of get in the goove and, just, I felt confident (against Louisville) and kind of knew I had to play that way for the team.” Formann came off the bench in her first two games as CU head coach JR Payne eased her back into the flow. She has started the last two games, however. CU’s all-time leader in 3-pointers made, Formann is 9-for-22 (40.9%) and has hit at least two in each of her games. The Buffs were a bit disjointed in Formann’s season debut, a 65-45 win against Southern on Nov. 17, hitting just 41.4% of their shots. In the last three games, however, the Buffs have averaged 83.7 points, while hitting 50.0% from the floor, including 44.6% from 3-point range. In Tennessee Tech, the Buffs will face a squad that’s off to a 5-2 start and has several capable scorers. There could also be an adjustment to a unique tip-off time of 11 a.m., but Payne expects the Buffs to be ready to play on Field Trip Day, which usually brings several busloads of students to the game. “We practice around noon or 1 p.m. most days, so it’s actually a pretty normal playing time for us,” she said. “Hopefully we’ll have a lot of kids. That’s the point is that’s a school game and it should be great to have a lot of kids in the stands.” CU Buffs women’s basketball vs. Tennessee Tech TIPOFF: Tuesday, 11 a.m., CU Events Center TV/RADIO: ESPN+/KHOW 630 AM RECORDS: Colorado 6-2; Tennessee Tech 5-2 COACHES: Colorado — JR Payne, 9th season (149-104; 250-217 career). Louisville — Jeff Walz, 18th season (469-137) KEY PLAYERS: Colorado — F Nyamer Diew, 6-2, Sr. (6.9 ppg, 3.3 rpg); G Frida Formann, 5-10, Sr. (14.8 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 2.3 apg, .409 3Pt%); F Lior Garzon, 6-1, Sr. (12.3 ppg, 3.3 rpg); F Jade Masogayo, 6-3, Jr. (11.9 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 2.5 apg, .544 FG%); G Sara-Rose Smith, 6-1, Sr. (7.5 ppg, 6.1 rpg, .467 3pt%); G Johanna Teder, 5-11, Sr. (7.0 ppg, .600 FG%); G Kindyll Wetta, 5-9, Sr. (6.3 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 6.6 apg, 2.3 spg).

The Buffs are 50-3 in non-conference home games in Payne’s tenure. That includes a 38-game win streak that was snapped with Saturday’s loss. ... CU’s Kindyll Wetta has averaged 9.0 assists in the last three games. ... Formann had a season-high 25 points in the loss to Louisville. She has scored at least nine points in all four games since returning from a foot injury. ... This will be CU’s first-ever meeting with Tennessee Tech. ... Before the season, Tennessee Tech was projected for a fourth-place finish in the 11-team Ohio Valley Conference. ... In its last game, Tennessee Tech won at Samford, 79-65, on Nov. 26. ... A year ago, the Golden Eagles were 0-2 against power conference teams, but lost by just six at Kentucky and by one against Missouri.WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday named Pam Bondi, the former attorney general of Florida, to be U.S. attorney general just hours after his other choice, Matt Gaetz , withdrew his name from consideration. Bondi is a longtime Trump ally and was one of his lawyers during his first impeachment trial, when he was accused — but not convicted — of abusing his power as he tried to condition U.S. military assistance to Ukraine on that country investigating then-former Vice President Joe Biden. Bondi was among a group of Republicans who showed up to support Trump at his hush money criminal trial in New York that ended in May with a conviction on 34 felony counts. She's been a chair at the America First Policy Institute, a think tank set up by former Trump administration staffers. “For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans - Not anymore,” Trump said in a social media post. “Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again.” Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. told Fox Business on Sunday that the transition team had backups in mind for his controversial nominees should they fail to get confirmed. The swift selection of Bondi came about six hours after Gaetz withdrew. Gaetz stepped aside amid continued fallout over a federal sex trafficking investigation that cast doubt on his ability to be confirmed as the nation's chief federal law enforcement officer. That announcement capped a turbulent eight-day period in which Trump sought to capitalize on his decisive election win to force Senate Republicans to accept provocative selections like Gaetz, who had been investigated by the Justice Department before being tapped last week to lead it. The decision could heighten scrutiny on other controversial Trump nominees, including Pentagon pick Pete Hegseth , who faces sexual assault allegations that he denies. “While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition,” Gaetz, a Florida Republican who one day earlier met with senators in an effort to win their support, said in a statement. “There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1," he added. Hours later, Gaetz posted on social media that he looks “forward to continuing the fight to save our country,” adding, “Just maybe from a different post.” Trump, in a social media post, said: “I greatly appreciate the recent efforts of Matt Gaetz in seeking approval to be Attorney General. He was doing very well but, at the same time, did not want to be a distraction for the Administration, for which he has much respect. Matt has a wonderful future, and I look forward to watching all of the great things he will do!” Last week, Trump named personal lawyers Todd Blanche, Emil Bove and D. John Sauer to senior roles in the department. Another possible attorney general contender, Matt Whitaker, was announced Wednesday as the U.S. ambassador to NATO. Bondi, too, is a longtime loyalist. She has been a vocal critic of the criminal cases against Trump as well as Jack Smith, the special counsel who charged Trump in two federal cases. In one radio appearance, she blasted Smith and other prosecutors who have charged Trump as “horrible” people she said were trying to make names for themselves by “going after Donald Trump and weaponizing our legal system.” If confirmed by the Republican-led Senate, Bondi would instantly become one of the most closely watched members of Trump’s Cabinet given the Republican’s threat to pursue retribution against perceived adversaries and concern among Democrats that he will look to bend the Justice Department to his will. A recent Supreme Court opinion not only conferred broad immunity on former presidents but also affirmed a president’s exclusive authority over the Justice Department’s investigative functions. Bondi would inherit a Justice Department expected to pivot sharply on civil rights, corporate enforcement and the prosecutions of hundreds of Trump supporters charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol — defendants whom Trump has pledged to pardon . It’s unlikely that Bondi would be confirmed in time to overlap with Smith, who brought two federal indictments against Trump that are both expected to wind down before the incoming president takes office. Special counsels are expected to produce reports on their work that historically are made public, but it remains unclear when such a document might be released. In 2013, while serving as Florida attorney general, Bondi publicly apologized for asking that the execution of a man convicted of murder be delayed because it conflicted with a campaign fundraiser. Bondi said she was wrong and sorry for requesting then-Gov. Rick Scott push back the execution of Marshall Lee Gore by three weeks. Before she ran for state attorney general in 2010, Bondi worked for the Hillsborough County state attorney. Associated Press writers Zeke Miller, Michelle L. Price, Lisa Mascaro, Mary Clare Jalonick and Adriana Gomez Licon contributed to this report.
Deficit soars as Biden heads out the doorStyrenic Block Copolymer Market Intelligence Report Offers Key Futuristic Top Trends, Research Methodology and Competitive Landscape By 2030
If you’re on the lookout for , you're in luck. Some of our favorite models are already on sale, with some prices expected to drop even further when the big day arrives. Specifically, Ninja's air fryers see some of the best discounts during the across a range of top-selling devices, with almost every model seeing a significant price cut in recent years. I've tested most of Ninja's current line-up of speedy cookers, and I can confidently say the hype is well-deserved. When reviewing air fryers, I'm looking for even, crisp results, quick cooking times, a versatile range of cooking modes and presets and a form factor that suits the modern kitchen; Ninja delivers time and again. However, there are three specific models that I think will be the ones to watch this year. 1. Ninja Air Fryer / Air Fryer Max Looking for an air fryer under $100 or pounds? The standard Ninja Air Fryer has you covered. The smaller, 4qt model is excellent for students, people who live alone or first-timers, and costs just $89 / £99. It remains one of the most popular air fryers sold by Ninja for its simplicity and effectiveness, offering four cooking modes. And if you need a little more capacity you can opt for the Ninja Air Fryer Max with its 5qt capacity. Both of these models usually see pretty hefty discounts during sales events like Black Friday, with the best price we’ve seen on the 4qt model being this year’s sales price of $59 / £68, and the 5qt model dropping as low as $79 or £99. Read our full . 2. Ninja Double Stack XL We think this is one of the you can buy, and it’s the one I personally use at home. Instead of the wide form factor sported by other dual basket air fryers, the double stack, well, double stacks its baskets, offering an unparalleled blend of cooking countertop real estate. If you want to air fry larger foods like a pizza, you’re out of luck, but the Double Stack still offers all the same great features as other Ninja air fryers with its six cooking modes as well as Sync and Match cooking functions, earning it five stars in our review. The XL model, which we’d recommend due to its larger capacity, usually retails for $229 / £269, but we’ve seen it drop as low as $179 / £219 in previous sales events. Read our full 3. Ninja Foodi FlexBasket / FlexDrawer Last but not least is the immense Ninja Foodi FlexBasket – or FlexDrawer, if you’re in the UK. On the other end of the spectrum from the Double Stack is this behemoth air fryer. It features a removable divider to transform its two cooking zones into one Megazone, meaning you can cook larger foods like a whole chicken. It’s an excellent choice for larger households, though you’ll need a fair amount of space to house it. Again, there are two size variations; however, the US fairly exclusively stocks the six-setting 7qt model for $179, while the UK mainly stocks the £279 seven-setting 10.4L model. Both are great, and offer the same sync and match cooking functions. The lowest prices we’ve seen for these models are an astonishing $99 and a slightly more mediocre £179, respectively.

Ontario First Nations mull next steps on child welfare amid various legal opinions OTTAWA — First Nations leaders are split over next steps after a landmark $47.8-billion child welfare reform deal with Canada was struck down, prompting differing legal opinions from both sides. Alessia Passafiume, The Canadian Press Dec 9, 2024 1:19 PM Share by Email Share on Facebook Share on X Share on LinkedIn Print Share via Text Message Ontario Regional Chief Abram Benedict attends the Assembly of First Nations annual general assembly in Montreal, Tuesday, July 9, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Christinne Muschi OTTAWA — First Nations leaders are split over next steps after a landmark $47.8-billion child welfare reform deal with Canada was struck down, prompting differing legal opinions from both sides. The Assembly of First Nations and a board member of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society have received competing legal opinions on potential ways forward. Ontario Regional Chief Abram Benedict says the chiefs he represents are still hoping the agreement that chiefs outside the province voted down two months ago is not moot. Chiefs in Ontario are interveners in the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal case that led to its realization. He added there are also concerns that some of the elements in the new negotiation mandate outlined by chiefs in an October assembly go beyond the current governance structure of the Assembly of First Nations. "There will have to be action by the Assembly of First Nations in the very near future to advance these positions, but you also need willing partners," Benedict said. "We're still considering what our options are." Those options are also being debated in legal reviews commissioned by the Assembly of First Nations and a board member of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society, which are both parties to the human rights case, along with Nishnawbe Aski Nation. Khelsilem, a chairperson from the Squamish Nation who penned a resolution that defeated the deal in October, critiqued the stance of Ontario First Nations by saying they negotiated a "bad agreement" for First Nations outside the province and now that chiefs want to go back to the table for a better deal, they want to split from the process entirely. "It potentially undermines the collective unity of First Nations to achieve something that is going to benefit all of us," he said. The $47.8-billion agreement was struck in July after decades of advocacy and litigation from First Nations and experts, seeking to redress discrimination against First Nations children who were torn from their families and placed in foster care. The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal said Canada’s underfunding was discriminatory because it meant kids living on reserve were given fewer services than those living off reserves, and tasked Canada with reaching an agreement with First Nations to reform the system. The agreement was meant to cover 10 years of funding for First Nations to take control of their own child welfare services from the federal government. Chiefs and service providers critiqued the deal for months, saying it didn’t go far enough to ensure an end to the discrimination. They have also blasted the federal government for what they say is its failure to consult with First Nations in negotiations, and for the exclusion of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society, which helped launched the initial human rights complaint. In October at a special chiefs assembly in Calgary, the deal was struck down through two resolutions. The Assembly of First Nations sought a legal review of those resolutions by Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP — a firm where the former national chief of the organization, Perry Bellegarde, works as a special adviser. In the legal review from Fasken, it appears as though the assembly asked for direction on how to get "rid" of two resolutions used to vote down the deal, with an employee of the firm saying they can review the resolutions together if they want them both gone, or they can "leave room for compromise" with one of the resolutions. In a statement, the Assembly of First Nations said the review was conducted to assess the legal, technical and operational aspects of the resolutions to ensure their "effective implementation." "The opinions formed by external counsel are their own and do not reflect the views or positions of the AFN," said Andrew Bisson, the chief executive officer, who added it's not unusual for the organization to seek such reviews. Bisson did not address the language used by a Fasken employee to "get rid" of resolutions, but said "the legal and technical reviews were conducted in good faith, not to undermine the chiefs' direction. The chiefs have provided clear direction, and the AFN is committed to following that direction." The legal reviews from Fasken, dated Nov. 15, argue that the October resolutions on child welfare require a significant review of who voted for them, along with changes to the organization's charter should they be implemented. Resolution 60 called for a rejection of the final settlement agreement, and for the establishment of a Children's Chiefs Commission that will be representative of all regions and negotiate long-term reforms. It also called for the AFN's executive committee to "unconditionally include" the Caring Society in negotiations. Fasken said that commission is contrary to the AFN's charter, and the law, because the AFN's executive committee doesn't have the power to create one, and that the executive committee "alone" has the authority to execute mandates on behalf of the assembly. It adds there are no accountability measures for the new negotiation body, and that it will represent regions that are not participants in the AFN. Resolution 61, which built upon resolution 60, is similarly against the charter for the same reasons, the review says. As such, it says, the resolutions can't be implemented. The firm also wrote that there were alleged conflicts of interest during the October vote, saying "numerous proxies were also employees, shareholders, directors, agents or otherwise had a vested interest" in the First Nations child and family service agencies whose interests were the subject of the resolutions. Chief Joe Miskokomon of Chippewas of the Thames First Nation in southwestern Ontario called that "political deception." In response to that review, a board member of the Caring Society, which has been a vocal critic of the July deal, sought their own. The review penned by Aird Berlis for Mary Teegee and dated Dec. 2 stated it was "inappropriate for the AFN to seek, and not disclose, legal opinions which are then cited to attempt to second-guess decisions already made by the First Nations in Assembly." It also states that while the AFN's vice-president of strategic policy and integration, Amber Potts, raised concerns with the movers and seconders of the resolutions, the entirety of the legal opinion the assembly sought was not shared with them. Teegee's review challenges that of the AFN's by saying the resolutions are consistent with the AFN's charter, and that nothing restricts First Nations in assembly from expressing their sovereign will by delegating authority to another entity. "AFN's role and purpose at all times is to effect the sovereign will of First Nations, however it is expressed, on 'any matter' that they see fit," the review from Aird Berlis reads. "It is too late to attempt to question the resolutions. They are now final." This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 9, 2024.

After rough start under coach Mike Macdonald, the Seahawks' defense has become a strengthThe Dallas Cowboys ruled out right guard Zack Martin and cornerback Trevon Diggs with injuries on Saturday, one day prior to a road game against the Washington Commanders. Martin has been dealing with ankle and shoulder injuries and didn't practice at all this week before initially being listed as doubtful to play on Friday. He also physically struggled during Monday night's loss to the Houston Texans. Martin, who turned 34 on Wednesday, has started all 162 games played in 11 seasons with the Cowboys. He's a nine-time Pro Bowl selection and a seven-time first-team All-Pro. Diggs has been dealing with groin and knee injuries. He was listed as questionable on Friday before being downgraded Saturday. Diggs, 26, has 37 tackles and two interceptions in 10 games this season. The two-time Pro Bowl pick led the NFL with 11 picks in 2021 and has 20 in 57 games. The Cowboys elected not to activate receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) for the game. He returned to practice earlier this week and he was listed as questionable on Friday. Dallas activated offensive tackle Chuma Edoga (toe) and defensive end Marshawn Kneeland (knee) off injured reserve Saturday, placed safety Markquese Bell (shoulder) on IR and released defensive end KJ Henry. Tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) was previously ruled out. Tight end Princeton Fant was elevated from the practice squad to replace him. Cornerback Kemon Hall also was elevated from the practice squad. --Field Level Media

After rough start under coach Mike Macdonald, the Seahawks' defense has become a strengthHow to Make Preserved Flowers Using a Freeze Dryer 12-02-2024 09:26 PM CET | Associations & Organizations Press release from: ABNewswire Preserved flowers, also known as fresh-keeping flowers or eco-flowers, are sometimes called "everlasting flowers." They are made from fresh-cut flowers such as roses, carnations, orchids, and hydrangeas, processed through freeze-drying to become dried flowers. Preserved flowers maintain the color, shape, and texture of fresh flowers, with rich colors and versatile uses. They can last for at least three years and are ideal for floral design, home decor, and special events as a high-value floral product. Image: https://www.bothsh.com/uploads/freeze-dry1.jpg . Preserved Flower Production Process 1. Pretreatment: Start by selecting healthy fresh flowers, such as roses with approximately 80% bloom rate. The flowers should be well-shaped, with thick, vibrant petals, strong stems, and vivid colors. Before freezing, perform a color-protection treatment by soaking the flowers in a 10% tartaric acid solution for 10 minutes. Remove and gently pat dry, then prepare for pre-freezing. 2. Pre-Freezing: In the initial experimentation phase, we followed the freeze dryer guidelines, requiring the material to be thoroughly frozen to ensure effective freeze-drying. Generally, the pre-freezing takes about four hours. Initially, we ran the compressor for four hours, finding the material reached below -40 degrees C, well under the eutectic temperature of roses. In subsequent trials, we adjusted the temperature to just below the eutectic temperature of roses by 5-10 degrees C, then held it there for 1-2 hours to solidify the material before starting the drying process. Pre-freezing should maintain a final temperature 5-10 degrees C below the eutectic temperature. To determine the eutectic temperature, methods include resistance detection, differential scanning calorimetry, and low-temperature microscopy. We used resistance detection. In resistance detection, when the flower temperature drops to the freezing point, ice crystals begin to form. As the temperature further decreases, more ice crystals form. When all moisture in the flower freezes, resistance suddenly increases to near infinity. This temperature marks the eutectic point for roses. In the experiment, two copper electrodes were inserted into the rose petals at the same depth and placed in the freeze dryer's cold trap. The resistance began increasing slowly, then rapidly between -9 degrees C and -14 degrees C, reaching near infinity. Thus, the eutectic temperature for roses is between -9 degrees C and -14 degrees C. 3. Drying: Sublimation drying is the longest stage of the vacuum freeze-drying process. It involves simultaneous heat and mass transfer. In this process, our freeze dryer uses a multi-layer heating shelf system, with heat transferred primarily by conduction. After the roses are thoroughly frozen, turn on the vacuum pump to reach the preset vacuum level in the drying chamber. Then, activate the heating function to start drying the material. Once drying is complete, open the exhaust valve, turn off the vacuum pump and compressor, remove the dried product, and seal it for preservation. . Methods of Making Preserved Flowers 1. Chemical Solution Soaking Method: This involves using liquid agents to replace and retain moisture in the flowers. However, in high temperatures, it may cause leakage, mold, or fading. 2. Natural Air-Drying Method: This removes moisture by air circulation, an original and simple method. It is time-consuming, suitable for plants with high fiber, low water content, small blooms, and short stems. 3. Vacuum Freeze-Drying Method: This method uses a freeze dryer to freeze and then sublimate the flower's moisture in a vacuum environment. Flowers treated with this method retain their shape and color, are easy to preserve, and can rehydrate while maintaining their original biochemical properties. . Features of Preserved Flowers 1. Made from Real Flowers, Safe and Non-Toxic: Preserved flowers are created from natural flowers using high-tech processes, combining the longevity of artificial flowers with the vibrant, safe qualities of real flowers. Unlike dried flowers, preserved flowers retain the plant's natural tissue, water content, and color. 2. Rich Colors, Unique Varieties: Preserved flowers offer a wide array of colors, including shades not found in nature. Popular varieties include Blue Roses, as well as newly developed varieties such as roses, hydrangeas, calla lilies, carnations, orchids, lilies, and baby's breath. 3. Long-Lasting Freshness: Preserved flowers can last for years, remaining fresh-looking through all seasons. Preservation duration varies by technique, with Chinese technology allowing preservation for 3-5 years, and advanced global technology enabling up to 10 years. 4. No Watering or Care Required: Preserved flowers are easy to maintain, requiring no watering or special care. 5. Allergen-Free, No Pollen: These flowers are pollen-free, making them suitable for people with pollen allergies.

House Republicans will select new chairs for several powerful committees this week, with the leaders inheriting both a gavel and the task of advancing President-elect Donald Trump 's agenda through a united GOP Congress . With the new members' swearing-in on Jan. 3, 2025, and Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025, the newly selected House committee leaders will have the power to deliver on the president-elect's top priorities, including a tax bill, government spending , and border security, among other policies. The new chairs will be selected by the House GOP Steering Committee, a panel of over 30 Republican leaders and regional representatives that recommend the committee chairs for approval from the full Republican conference. The Steering Committee is meeting Monday to make their selections, with some of the most influential committees attracting multiple challengers. Unless they receive a waiver, Republican chairs can not serve more than three consecutive terms as the head of the committee. Many current GOP chairs, such as Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX), did not seek a waiver to remain chairman, while others, such as Rep. Sam Graves (R-MO), were approved to stay as the top GOP lawmaker on the committee. Several committees also have leaders who decided ahead of the 2024 election that they would retire or seek another office off Capitol Hill, leaving many vacancies . MEET THE NEW CONGRESS: THE HOUSE AND SENATE FRESHMEN ELECTED TO SERVE NEXT YEAR Financial Services Committee Financial Services Committee Chairman Patrick McHenry (R-NC), who had a brief stint as speaker pro tempore during Kevin McCarthy's ouster, is retiring, with four contenders vying for the gavel. Reps. Andy Barr (R-KY), French Hill (R-AR), Frank Lucas (R-OK), and Bill Huizenga (R-MI) are all in the race to succeed McHenry as the top GOP lawmaker on Financial Services, a panel that holds hearings regarding the Federal Reserve, cryptocurrency, and Wall Street. All three areas, particularly the Fed and crypto, will likely be top priorities of the Trump administration. Barr is widely considered to be the favorite in the race. He is the chairman of the Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Monetary Policy, stating in a letter to colleagues he can "build a bridge between those traditional Chamber of Commerce, Wall Street Republicans, and the America First populists who elected Donald Trump.” However, Hill is vice chairman of the Financial Services Committee and chairman of the Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology, and Inclusion. He's become a leading GOP source on crypto, making him a key player in the gavel race. Lucas is the longest-serving GOP lawmaker on the committee, touting his three decades in the House, while Huizenga has campaigned on his relationship with Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), who is expected to become chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs next year. BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, CONGRESS, AND UNIONS TRY TO ‘TRUMP-PROOF SCIENCE’ Foreign Affairs Committee The House Foreign Affairs Committee, which led the high-profile investigation of the United States's withdrawal from Afghanistan, will have a vacant chairmanship as McCaul did not seek a waiver to remain chairman as he's terming out. The HFAC will also have a four-way contest between Reps. Brian Mast (R-FL), Darrell Issa (R-CA), Ann Wagner (R-MO), and Joe Wilson (R-SC). Wagner is the vice chairwoman of the committee, touting her foreign policy experience as U.S. ambassador to Luxembourg during former President George W. Bush’s administration and co-chairwoman of the Abraham Accords Caucus as a reason she is seeking the gavel. She has vowed, as chairwoman, to crack down on Russia, Iran, and China, as well as touted a key GOP talking point about securing the border. Issa, however, has also campaigned on his foreign affairs experience, having visited over 100 countries, and his prior experience as chairman of the House Oversight Committee. Mast, a Purple Heart recipient and U.S. Army veteran, became a staple in the GOP conference after he wore his Israeli military uniform to the Capitol to show solidarity for the Jewish state following the Hamas attacks. Similar to Issa, Wilson pitched himself as the senior lawmaker equipped to lead the committee after leading 70 congressional delegation trips to over 80 countries. The Hill reported that Wilson was giving members of the steering committee pieces from the Berlin Wall that he brought back from Germany in 1990. DEMOCRATS SEARCH FOR ANSWERS AS BARACK OBAMA’S INFLUENCE WANES Energy and Commerce Committee Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), a powerhouse who led the influential House Energy and Commerce Committee, did not seek reelection in 2024, setting off a competitive race between Reps. Brett Guthrie (R-KY) and Bob Latta (R-OH). The Energy and Commerce Committee will be a key panel moving into the Trump administration, holding jurisdiction over healthcare, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Department of Energy — all areas that have been targeted by Trump and Republicans over the last two years due to Biden administration-era rules and regulations on everything from electric vehicles and appliances to the aftermath of COVID-19. Latta will be the most senior GOP lawmaker on the Energy and Commerce Committee, holding experience on all six subcommittees and having 33 bills signed into law. Guthrie has sat on five of the six subcommittees and is currently chairman of the Health Subcommittee, pitching his top priorities as permitting reform and the U.S. beating China to developing 6G, the latest wireless communication network expected to arrive in the 2030s. Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Graves, the current chairman, will seek his fourth term as the top Republican on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee after the steering committee approved his waiver to surpass the third-term rule. Graves is facing a challenge from Rep. Rick Crawford (R-AR), who put out a blueprint focusing on investments in the most-used methods of transportation, including highways, railways, ports, and airways. Rumored to be in the running for Transportation Secretary for the incoming administration, Graves is campaigning on his experience in the role — particularly the five-year Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill that passed earlier this year. Education and the Workforce Committee Outgoing Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) received a waiver to seek a fourth term but declined to run for reelection, opening up the race for Reps. Tim Walberg (R-MI) and Burgess Owens (R-UT). Whoever serves as the next chair will play a significant role in the House GOP's reconciliation process to push bills to Trump's desk for approval, including on the subject of student loans. Walberg, as one of the senior Republicans on the committee, outlined his top priority as supporting parents' rights, as well as fighting back against antisemitism on campus, which has continued to rise during the Hamas-Israel war. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER Owens is also running on combatting antisemitism on campuses, as well as eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion requirements in schools, hiring practices, and school choice. The Steering Committee will hear presentations from challengers Monday and Thursday, with selections expected by the end of Thursday. The full conference vote to approve the committee chairs-elect will likely be held next week.
