NoneRuben Amorim warned “the storm will come” eventually as Manchester United’s head coach tried to temper expectations ahead of the trip to Arsenal. The 39-year-old has been a breath of fresh air since succeeding Erik ten Hag, with his personality and approach, coupled with promising early performances, bringing hope back to Old Trafford. Amorim has been touched by his warm welcome but repeatedly urged fans to avoid jumping the gun, having followed a draw at Ipswich with home wins against Bodo/Glimt and Everton. Wednesday’s trip to Arsenal is comfortably his biggest challenge yet and victory would see United move within three points of the Premier League title contenders. Put to Amorim it will be hard to manage expectations if they won in the capital, the head coach said: “I would like to say different things, but I have to say it again: the storm will come. “I don’t know if you use that expression, but we are going to have difficult moments and we will be found out in some games. “And I know that because I’m knowing my players and I know football and I follow football, so I understand the difference between the teams. “We are in the point in that we are putting simple things in the team, without training, and you feel it in this game against Everton, they change a little bit the way they were building up. “They are very good team, and we were with a lot of problems because we cannot change it by calling one thing to the captain. “So, we don’t have this training, so let’s focus on each game, on the performance, what we have to improve, trying to win games. And that is the focus. “I know it’s really hard to be a Manchester United coach and say these things in press conferences. We want to win all the time. No matter what. “We are going to try to win, but we know that we are in a different point if you compare to Arsenal. “So, it is what it is and we will try to win it and we go with confidence to win, but we know that we need to play very well to win the next football match.” The trip to Arsenal is the second of nine December matches for United, who are looking to avoid suffering four straight league defeats to the Gunners for the first time. The Red Devils have not won a Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium since 2017, but Amorim knows a thing or two about frustrating Mikel Arteta’s men. Arsenal thrashed Sporting Lisbon 5-1 in the Champions League last week, but in 2022-23 he led the Portuguese side to a Europa League last-16 penalty triumph after a 1-1 draw in London made it 3-3 on aggregate. “Arsenal this year, they play a little bit different,” Amorim said. “They are more fluid. “For example, two years ago when we faced them with Sporting, you knew how to press because you can understand better the structure. “Now it’s more fluid with (Riccardo) Calafiori and (Jurrien) Timber in different sides. One coming inside, the other going outside. Also (Martin) Odegaard changed the team, and you can feel it during this season. “So, you can take something from that game, especially because I know so well the opponent so you can understand the weakness of that team. “But every game is different, so you take something, but you already know that you are going to face a very good team.” This hectic winter schedule means Amorim sidestepped talk of January transfer business ahead of facing Arsenal, although he was more forthcoming on Amad Diallo’s future. The 22-year-old, who put in a man of the match display in Sunday’s 4-0 win against Everton, is out of contract at the end of the season, although the club holds an option to extend by a year. Diallo has repeatedly spoken of his desire to stay at United and it has been reported an agreement is close. Amorim said: “I think he wants to stay, and we want him to stay. So that is clear and we will find a solution.”DENVER — Jerry Jeudy is a boo-liever in Broncos Country again. “I loved it,” the Cleveland Browns’ WR1 and 2020 Broncos first-round draft pick said late Monday of the catcalls from Denver fans while his old team pulled out a wacky, wild 41-32 win. “They only boo you when they know that something’s gonna happen, and there’s something great in you.” He was great, wasn’t he? Jeudy finally played his way into the Broncos record book on Monday Night Football. He finally lived up to all that hype. Only it happened while he was wearing another uniform, repping another team, another town. His 235 receiving yards broke Terrell Owens’ 16-year-old NFL record for the most by a league wideout against his former franchise. Dude was motivated. Laser-focused. Consistent. On a national stage, the former Alabama wideout was everything Broncos Country wanted him to be. And wasn’t. Not here, anyway. The Broncos version of Jeudy, the one traded away this past March, drifted like a leaf in the breeze. One step forward. Three steps back. Flashes of absolute game-changing, field-flipping brilliance. Followed by weeks of anonymity, peppered by pouting and social-media finger-pointing. “A lot of fans didn’t really rock with him because they don’t feel like he was productive here,” his old teammate, Broncos safety P.J. Locke, told me after the game. “But, hey, it is what it is. He’s balling out now, you know, and that (Broncos time is) in his past.” Jeudy always had that dawg in him, as the cool kids say. He just needed a match for the pilot light. A reason to give a darn. The guy who almost single-handedly sent Sean Payton circling another parking lot came out on the Browns’ first play of the evening — a 44-yard jaunt over the middle — and never left. The Broncos hit Week 13 averaging 2.6 “explosion” passes (20 yards or more) allowed per game. Jeudy had three of them, all by himself, by the first three minutes of the fourth quarter — a groove helped by no Riley Moss and all that hate. “Did you hear the boos every time you touched the ball?” a reporter asked Jeudy. “I heard it,” he replied. “That was a lot of boos, huh? It sounded like it. What that means is, a lot of catches, too.” Nine, to be exact. Revenge was a dish served lukewarm, though, as Broncos Country got treated to the full Jameis Winston Experience — 497 passing yards, four touchdowns and three picks, two of which were returned for scores. “I’m mad it was against us,” Locke, Jeudy’s teammate from 2020-23, offered with a smile of grudging admiration. “(Jerry isn’t) supposed to do that against us. I’m happy for him, though ... he’s coming back to the Broncos and I know he had a little chip on his shoulder.” Yeah, just a little. No. 3 — he’ll always be No. 10 to us — told longtime Cleveland reporter Tony Grossi last week that he wanted to “go back up there and whip their (backsides). “... (Four) years is a long time to be patient. I’m not going to say they didn’t get me the ball for (four) years. Some years I had a few drops, like my rookie year. Other years there were a whole bunch of circumstances I can’t control.” We could argue revisionist history all day, but what would be the point? Broncos Country was promised CeeDee Lamb and Justin Jefferson and got inconsistent football instead. As my colleague Troy Renck pointed out over the weekend, Payton vs. Jeudy was one divorce that looks as if it’s turned into a win for both sides. Jeudy’s putting together a Pro Bowl season with Winston, the QB partner he’s always wanted. The Broncos are putting together their first playoff team since 2015. “I don’t have (anything) towards them,” Jeudy said of his old squad. “At the end of the day, it is football. It’s competitive, everybody will have (that) juice when it’s time to play. Everybody wants to be great. Everybody wants to win. “That’s it, that’s all. No beef, nothing. Everybody just wants the best thing for themselves.” Locke, meanwhile, spoke of Jeudy late Monday with the affection of a long-lost brother, and old college roommate. “He actually had to block me on a play and I stepped on his toe,” the Broncos defender recalled with a laugh. Locke then leaned over to the bag between us and showed me one of his shoes, pointing to the cleats on the bottom. “Because I’ve got these seven-stud cleats, and that hurts,” he continued. “So my feet (got) set into the ground, and I stepped on him with my toe.” “Dang, bigfoot,” Jeudy told Locke. “Yeah, don’t be trying to block me,” Locke replied. “Go run some routes, bro. You ain’t supposed to be blocking. You ain’t (some) crack blocker, man.” Locke laughed again. “But I also told him I’m super-proud of him,” the Broncos safety said. “I’m happy for him. He’s showing it ... and I think he’s one of the best receivers in the league.” He’s still one of the best when it comes to hamming it up. Jeudy’s celebration and Nestea plunge into the end zone after toasting Levi Wallace in the third quarter was pure theater. Jeudy sensed the moment and put it in a camel clutch, egging on the Empower Field faithful like a veteran pro wrestling heel. “I heard the boos,” Jeudy explained, “and I wanted to hear it louder.” They only boo when they care. When it hurts. When something great finally comes out, but for somebody else. “Hey, man, look, (those) emotions were running high,” Locke said. “It’s Monday Night Football, he was balling.” He was breaking records. Just ... not the way John Elway drew it up four years ago. “God had a different plan for him,” Locke said. “He still did it. Just in a different way.” ©2024 MediaNews Group, Inc.

KELOWNA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 18, 2024 / Diamcor Mining Inc. (TSXV:DMI)(OTCQB:DMIFF)(FRA:DC3A), ("Diamcor" or the "Company"), a well-established Canadian diamond mining company with a proven history in the mining, exploration, and sale of rough diamonds announces that the Company and Tiffany & Co. Canada ("Tiffany" or "The Lender") have entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") to amend the total balance of the outstanding loans between the companies. Under the terms of the Agreement, Diamcor will pay Tiffany CAD $2,000,000 (the "Initial Payment") 90 days from signing of the Agreement, followed by a second and final payment of CAD $1,505,256 on the one-year anniversary of the Initial Payment to retire all remaining principal and accrued interest associated with the outstanding loans. As a result of this agreement, the total current carrying balance currently recorded in the Company's financials for these loans of CAD $6,753,045 will be adjusted to reflect a new amount of CAD $3,505,256 as outstanding for these loans. About Diamcor Mining Inc. Diamcor Mining Inc. is a fully reporting publicly traded Canadian diamond mining company with a well-established proven history in the mining, exploration, and sale of rough diamonds. The Company's primary focus is on the mining and development of its Krone-Endora at Venetia Project which is co-located and directly adjacent to De Beers' Venetia Diamond Mine in South Africa. The Venetia diamond mine is recognized as one of the world's top diamond-producing mines, and the deposits which occur on Krone-Endora have been identified as being the result of shift and subsequent erosion of an estimated 50M tonnes of material from the higher grounds of Venetia to the lower surrounding areas in the direction of Krone and Endora. Diamcor also focuses on the acquisition and development of mid-tier projects with near-term production capabilities and growth potential and uses unique approaches to mining that involves the use of advanced technology and techniques to extract diamonds in a safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible manner. The Company has a strong commitment to social responsibility, including the support of local people, communities, and the environment. About the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project Diamcor acquired the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project from De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited, consisting of the prospecting rights over the farms Krone 104 and Endora 66, which represent a combined surface area of approximately 5,888 hectares directly adjacent to De Beers' flagship Venetia Diamond Mine in South Africa. The Company subsequently announced that the South African Department of Mineral Resources had granted a Mining Right for the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project encompassing 657.71 hectares of the Project's total area of 5,888 hectares. The Company has also submitted an application for a mining right over the remaining areas of the Project. The deposits which occur on the properties of Krone and Endora have been identified as a higher-grade "Alluvial" basal deposit which is covered by a lower-grade upper "Eluvial" deposit. These deposits are proposed to be the result of the direct-shift (in respect to the "Eluvial" deposit) and erosion (in respect to the "Alluvial" deposit) of an estimated 1,000 vertical meters of material from the higher grounds of the adjacent Venetia Kimberlite areas. The deposits on Krone-Endora occur with a maximum total depth of approximately 15.0 metres from surface to bedrock, allowing for a very low-cost mining operation to be employed with the potential for near-term diamond production from a known high-quality source. Krone-Endora also benefits from the significant development of infrastructure and services already in place due to its location directly adjacent to the Venetia Mine, which is widely recognised as the largest diamond mine in South Africa, and one of the most prolific diamond mines in the world.

NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s lawyers formally asked a judge Monday to throw out his hush money criminal conviction, arguing that continuing the case would present unconstitutional “disruptions to the institution of the Presidency.“ Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s lawyers formally asked a judge Monday to throw out his hush money criminal conviction, arguing that continuing the case would present unconstitutional “disruptions to the institution of the Presidency.“ In a filing made public Tuesday, Trump’s lawyers told Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan that anything short of immediate dismissal would undermine the transition of power, as well as the “overwhelming national mandate” granted to Trump by voters last month. They also cited President Joe Biden’s recent pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, who had been convicted of tax and gun charges. “President Biden asserted that his son was ‘selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,’ and ‘treated differently,’” Trump’s legal team wrote. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, they claimed, had engaged in the type of political theater “that President Biden condemned.” Prosecutors will have until Dec. 9 to respond. They have said they will fight any efforts to dismiss the case but have indicated a willingness to delay the sentencing until after Trump’s second term ends in 2029. In their filing Monday, Trump’s attorneys dismissed the idea of holding off sentencing until Trump is out of office as a “ridiculous suggestion.” Following Trump’s election victory last month, Merchan halted proceedings and indefinitely postponed his sentencing, previously scheduled for late November, to allow the defense and prosecution to weigh in on the future of the case. He also delayed a decision on Trump’s prior bid to dismiss the case on immunity grounds. Trump has been fighting for months to reverse his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal a $130,000 payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels to suppress her claim that they had sex a decade earlier. He says they did not and denies any wrongdoing. The defense filing was signed by Trump lawyers Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, who represented Trump during the trial and have since been selected by the president-elect to fill senior roles at the Justice Department. Taking a swipe at Bragg and New York City, as Trump often did throughout the trial, the filing argues that dismissal would also benefit the public by giving him and “the numerous prosecutors assigned to this case a renewed opportunity to put an end to deteriorating conditions in the City and to protect its residents from violent crime.” Clearing Trump, the lawyers added, would also allow him to “to devote all of his energy to protecting the Nation.” Merchan hasn’t yet set a timetable for a decision. He could decide to uphold the verdict and proceed to sentencing, delay the case until Trump leaves office, wait until a federal appeals court rules on Trump’s parallel effort to get the case moved out of state court or choose some other option. An outright dismissal of the New York case would further lift a legal cloud that at one point carried the prospect of derailing Trump’s political future. Last week, special counsel Jack Smith told courts that he was withdrawing both federal cases against Trump — one charging him with hoarding classified documents at his Florida estate, the other with scheming to overturn the 2020 presidential election he lost — citing longstanding Justice Department policy that shields a president from indictment while in office. The hush money case was the only one of Trump’s four criminal indictments to go to trial, resulting in a historic verdict that made him the first former president to be convicted of a crime. Prosecutors had cast the payout as part of a Trump-driven effort to keep voters from hearing salacious stories about him. Trump’s then-lawyer Michael Cohen paid Daniels. Trump later reimbursed him, and Trump’s company logged the reimbursements as legal expenses — concealing what they really were, prosecutors alleged. Trump has said the payments to Cohen were properly categorized as legal expenses for legal work. A month after the verdict, the Supreme Court ruled that ex-presidents can’t be prosecuted for official acts — things they did in the course of running the country — and that prosecutors can’t cite those actions to bolster a case centered on purely personal, unofficial conduct. Trump’s lawyers cited the ruling to argue that the hush money jury got some improper evidence, such as Trump’s presidential financial disclosure form, testimony from some White House aides and social media posts made during his first term. Prosecutors disagreed and said the evidence in question was only “a sliver” of their case. If the verdict stands and the case proceeds to sentencing, Trump’s punishments would range from a fine to probation to up to four years in prison — but it’s unlikely he’d spend any time behind bars for a first-time conviction involving charges in the lowest tier of felonies. Because it is a state case, Trump would not be able to pardon himself once he returns to office. ___ Advertisement Advertisement
