Flick also spoke about his team’s performance and was full of praise for his players . “Very, very happy. With the three goals...we could have also scored more. Coming back from the Vigo game and playing like this is great,” he said. “The team helps Robert to score these goals. He is responsible, he knows he has to score them and he is in the right position to do so. The team is wonderful.”WonderFi and Kraken Canada each break $2-billion CAD mark for assets under custody
MITCHELL — As a new season gets underway for the Mitchell High School boys basketball program, many elements from last year remain the same. The roster is largely intact, having graduated just one regular rotation player. Head coach Ryker Kreutzfeldt is still on the sideline, his fourth season guiding the program. In Class AA, the core schedule hardly ever changes. ADVERTISEMENT But as the reigning Class AA state champions, that familiar territory has taken on a new feeling for the Kernels. “You have to have a different mentality coming into this one; it's not the same,” Kreutzfeldt said. “That's something we're going to have to work through early. If we can stay focused on everyday things, we'll end up being all right, but there's an adjustment period, and we're probably going to go through that for a couple weeks, at least.” As Kreutzfeldt explains, last year’s Kernels had several unknowns and went into the season believing it would have to battle all season long to be in position to make the state tournament. Instead, they were the No. 1 seed, compiled a 23-1 record and won the program’s first state championship in nearly two decades. “This year, everyone would expect us to just be in the state championship again. It's not that easy,” Kreutzfeldt said. “How do you deal with that early? When everybody else is thinking about March, you've got to be thinking about December 2 (the Kernels’ opening day of practice).” That’s not to say the Kernels aren’t chomping at the bit to prove they’re the team to beat. This year, the first allowable practice date didn't come until the calendar flipped over to December, while a year ago, Mitchell played its first game on Dec. 8. That bit of extra waiting only added to the anticipation, as the Kernels hope to turn 2024-25 into another special campaign. “We were all just counting down the days and getting ready,” said senior Gavin Hinker. “We're all excited, and we're all ready to work hard. We know that everybody's going to give us their best shot.” ADVERTISEMENT Even with the roster continuity and the amount of time invested during the offseason, the official tip-off to a new season is hardly ever easy, according to Kreutzfeldt. No matter the circumstances, it takes time to settle back in and find a practice flow that works best for everyone. On top of that, paramount for this year’s MHS roster is finding a new vocal leader. Last season, then-senior Gavin Soukup stepped into that role and helped guide the Kernels to a title while also providing a level of on-court production that earned second-team all-state honors. “I think we're probably ahead of last year because everyone's got some varsity experience, and we kind of know what to expect,” said senior Markus Talley. “But without (Soukup), he was a big part of the team last year, so we need guys to step up and be leaders.” Mitchell has more than two full weeks of practice before opening its 2024-25 schedule at Watertown on Tuesday, Dec. 17. The first week of game action also includes the West River weekend trek to face Rapids City Stevens and Rapid City Central on Dec. 20 and 21. The Kernels host their first home games as part of the Hoop City Classic, welcoming Orono (Minn.) on Dec. 28 and Orlando Christian Prep (Fla.) on Dec. 30. While there’s plenty to be settled in the Kernels’ camp between now and then, Kreutzfeldt is confident that Mitchell can hit the ground running. “I have no doubts that, come opening night, these guys will be ready to go,” Kreutzfeldt said. “We've got a long way to go until then — two weeks and a day — so that's our challenge right now. We’ve got to fall back in love with the basics.”
In a significant shift, Huawei Technologies Co. has announced its plan to completely remove Google’s open-source Android operating system from its smartphones and tablets starting next year. This move marks a critical step in the Chinese tech giant’s ambitious strategy to break free from US technology and establish its own independent ecosystem. The company will be transitioning its devices to HarmonyOS Next, a fully indigenous operating system that removes all remnants of Android. This bold move comes after years of US sanctions that have severely hampered Huawei’s access to essential technologies. This transition will be spearheaded by the launch of Huawei’s new flagship phone, the Mate 70, which will be the first device to feature HarmonyOS Next. This is not entirely new territory for Huawei, as they have been developing and refining HarmonyOS for some time now. However, this marks a definitive break from Android and a full embrace of their own technology. This decision has sent ripples throughout the tech world, with many speculating about the implications for both Huawei and the global tech landscape. Will this be a successful move towards technological sovereignty, or will it isolate Huawei from the global market? The Driving Force Behind the Shift To understand this drastic move, we need to look at the context of the US sanctions imposed on Huawei. These sanctions have significantly limited Huawei’s ability to source crucial components, including advanced chips, and have cut off access to essential Google services like the Google Play Store. This has forced Huawei to innovate and seek alternative solutions to maintain its position in the competitive tech market. HarmonyOS: A New Dawn for Huawei? HarmonyOS is Huawei’s proprietary operating system, designed to be compatible with a wide range of devices, from smartphones and tablets to smartwatches and IoT devices. It boasts features like enhanced security , improved performance, and seamless cross-device integration. Challenges and Opportunities While this move presents a significant opportunity for Huawei to establish itself as a technological powerhouse, it also comes with its fair share of challenges. However, this transition also presents exciting opportunities for Huawei: My Perspective Having followed Huawei’s journey closely, I find this move both courageous and necessary. In a world increasingly reliant on technology, it is crucial for nations and companies to have control over their technological destiny . Huawei’s decision to embrace HarmonyOS is a testament to its resilience and determination to overcome challenges and forge its own path. While the road ahead may be challenging, I believe this strategic move has the potential to redefine Huawei’s future and reshape the global tech landscape. The Future of Huawei and HarmonyOS The success of this transition will depend on several factors, including the performance and user experience of HarmonyOS, the growth of its app ecosystem, and its acceptance in the global market. Huawei has invested heavily in research and development, and they are confident that HarmonyOS will deliver a superior user experience. This transition is not just about replacing Android; it’s about creating a new paradigm in the tech world, one where companies like Huawei can challenge the status quo and build their own technological foundations. It’s a bold move that could have far-reaching implications for the future of technology. Huawei’s decision to drop Android and embrace HarmonyOS is a pivotal moment in its history. It reflects the company’s ambition to achieve technological independence and its determination to overcome adversity. While challenges lie ahead, this strategic move has the potential to reshape the tech landscape and position Huawei as a global technology leader. Only time will tell how this bold move will play out, but one thing is certain: Huawei is determined to chart its own course in the ever-evolving world of technology.On Saturday, Nov. 30, 2024, the No. 5 Notre Dame Fighting Irish visit the USC Trojans at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

NoneOn Football analyzes the biggest topics in the NFL from week to week. For more On Football analysis, head here . Saquon Barkley has become the Shohei Ohtani of the NFL. There’s no better home run hitter playing football right now. Barkley had touchdown runs of 72 and 70 yards for the Philadelphia Eagles in a 37-20 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. He now has five runs of 50-plus yards this season and is on pace to break Eric Dickerson’s single-season record of 2,105 yards set in 1984. Barkley’s historic performance against the Rams — his 255 yards set a team record — captivated a national audience and turned him into a fan favorite for the AP NFL MVP award. He’s not the betting favorite, however. Josh Allen has the best odds at plus-150, according to Bet MGM Sportsbook. Two-time MVP Lamar Jackson is next at plus-250 followed by Barkley at plus-400. Running backs have won the award 18 times, including three-time winner Jim Brown, who was the AP’s first NFL MVP in 1957. Quarterbacks have dominated the award, winning it 45 times. Only three players who weren’t QBs or RBs have been MVP. It takes a special season for a non-QB to win it mainly because the offense goes through the signal caller. Quarterbacks handle the ball every offensive snap, run the show and get the credit when things go well and the blame when it doesn’t. Adrian Peterson was the most recent non-QB to win it when he ran for 2,097 yards and 12 touchdowns for the Minnesota Vikings in 2012. Playing for a winning team matters, too. Nine of the past 11 winners played for a No. 1 seed with the other two winners on a No. 2 seed. The Vikings earned the sixth seed when Pederson was MVP. Barkley is a major reason why the Eagles (9-2) are leading the NFC East and only trail Detroit (10-1) by one game for the top spot in the conference. Does he have a realistic chance to win the MVP award? Kicker Mark Moseley was the MVP in the strike-shortened 1982 season when he made 20 of 21 field goals and 16 of 19 extra points in nine games for Washington. If voters once selected a kicker, everyone has a chance, especially a game-changer such as Barkley. Defensive tackle Alan Page was the MVP in 1971 and linebacker Lawrence Taylor won it in 1986. Running back Christian McCaffrey finished third in voting last year and wide receiver Justin Jefferson placed fifth in 2022. The Offensive Player of the Year award and Defensive Player of the Year award recognize the best all-around players on both sides of the ball, allowing voters to recognize non-QBs if they choose. Wide receivers and running backs have won the AP OPOY award seven times over the past 11 seasons. McCaffrey was the 2023 winner. The AP’s new voting format introduced in 2022 also gives non-QBs a better opportunity to get MVP recognition. Voter submit their top five picks for each award, with a weighted point system. Previously, voters made one choice for each award. A nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league vote for MVP and seven other awards. The awards are based on regular-season performance. The Chiefs (10-1) and Bills (9-2) already are in position to lock up postseason berths right after Thanksgiving. Kansas City clinches a playoff berth with a win over Las Vegas on Black Friday and a loss by Miami on Thursday night, or a win plus a loss by Denver on Monday night. Buffalo can wrap up a fifth straight AFC East title with a victory over San Francisco on Sunday and a loss by the Dolphins. It’s not a given that the Dallas Cowboys will be looking for a new head coach after this season. Owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday on local radio that Mike McCarthy could end up getting a contract extension. “I don’t think that’s crazy at all. This is a Super Bowl-winning coach. Mike McCarthy has been there and done that. He has great ideas. We got a lot of football left,” Jones said. McCarthy led the Cowboys (4-7) to three straight 12-win seasons, but they went 1-3 in the playoffs and haven’t reached the NFC championship game since winning the Super Bowl 29 years ago. Injuries have contributed to the team’s struggles this season, but Dallas was just 3-5 before Dak Prescott was lost for the rest of the season. The Cowboys upset Washington last week and their next four games are against teams that currently have losing records. If they somehow end up 9-8 or even 8-9, Jones could make a case for keeping McCarthy. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
