Atmospheric conditions conspired against President Joe Biden on Thursday night at the annual National Christmas Tree lighting ceremony. The commander in chief donned a knitted hat for part of the ceremony, as the outside was frightful — cold and windy, according to reports. Biden pulled off the hat at one point, causing his hair to stand on end as it was charged with static electricity. That made for some comical that were tailor-made for some playful social media posts. Biden’s entire presidency summed up in a hairdo — Frank Castle (@jturpeningGA) Me trying to get through the day: — Underwood Dem 🇺🇸🚣 (@Undercrat) Fun with Biden’s Christmas Tree lighting hair 💨🤦 — CommonSense (@6hSense) TONIGHT: Biden at the White House Christmas Tree Lighting. 🎄 Yea, this is a real picture! — Todd Storm (@Todd_Storm) As he left the National Christmas Tree lighting, removed his stocking cap, bent over to look at the press and then asked “you’re still here?” It was very cold and windy tonight. — Andrew Leyden (@PenguinSix) Some news outlets couldn’t resist joining in the fun. “Is he the Ghost of Christmas Past — or just another Scrooge?” a reporter wrote, adding that Biden appeared “more like a character out of ’ Yuletide classic than the commander-in-chief.” The Post went on to quote another Dickens-themed social media post, captioning the photo, “Biden about to be visited by the ghosts of corruption past present and future.” To be fair, some explained that Biden’s hair didn’t look that wild at the start of the event. For a bit of context– as the night went on and temperatures dipped, Biden put on a wool stocking cap. When it came off static electricity + wind. It happens. Here is what he looked like before he put on the cap. — Andrew Leyden (@PenguinSix) “For a bit of context– as the night went on and temperatures dipped, Biden put on a wool stocking cap,” one user wrote. “When it came off static electricity + wind.

The Sale of Tractor Tires Market to Reach $29.5 Million Units by 2029 - OEMs Set to Propel Sales Growth - Arizton 11-21-2024 10:22 PM CET | Associations & Organizations Press release from: ABNewswire Tractor Tires Market Research Report by Arizton According to Arizton's latest research report, the tractor tires market [ https://www.arizton.com/market-reports/agricultural-tractor-tires-market ] is growing at a CAGR of 5.06% during 2023-2029. Looking for More Information? Click: [ https://www.arizton.com/market-reports/agricultural-tractor-tires-market ] Report Scope: Market Size - Shipment (2029): $29.50 Million Units Market Size - Shipment (2023): $21.94 Million Units CAGR (2023-2029): 5.06% Historic Year: 2020-2022 Base Year: 2023 Forecast Year: 2024-2029 Market Segmentation: Product Type, Sales Channel, and Geography Geographical Analysis: North America, Europe, APAC, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa The global tractor tire market is experiencing significant growth. This growth is driven by several factors, primarily the increasing demand for food due to a rising global population, which is pushing farmers to enhance agricultural productivity. As a result, there is growing investment in advanced machinery, including tractors equipped with high-performance tires, to meet these demands. The ongoing mechanization of agriculture is one of the key drivers of this market. Modern farms are shifting from manual labor to more efficient, mechanized operations, requiring tires that can withstand the demands of heavy, high-performance equipment. Technological advancements in tire design and materials, particularly in radial tires, have further boosted demand. Radial tires now account for approximately 57% of global sales due to their superior durability and efficiency. Regionally, the APAC market dominates, holding 74.9% of global sales, driven by rapid farm mechanization and a growing middle class with better access to agricultural machinery. North America, however, is expected to see the fastest growth, driven by advanced farming techniques. Sustainability is also becoming a key focus, with manufacturers developing eco-friendly tire solutions. Government incentives and subsidies, such as those in China, are also encouraging farmers to upgrade their machinery, further supporting market growth. OEM Sales Channel to Dominate the Tractor Tires Market The OEM segment in the global tractor tire market is poised for continued dominance, projected to hold around 42% of the market share by 2029. This growth is fueled by advantages such as direct sales, streamlined supply chains, and the pre-installation of tires on agricultural machinery. By offering bundled solutions, OEMs make it easier for farmers to acquire fully equipped tractors, increasing operational efficiency and fostering brand loyalty. However, the OEM segment faces challenges with pricing, as these tires tend to be more expensive than aftermarket options, which may deter some farmers post-warranty. Nevertheless, as agricultural mechanization grows and tire technology advances, OEM tires-designed to enhance performance, reduce soil compaction, and improve durability-are expected to see strong demand, further solidifying their market position. Strategic Responses by Tractor Tire Manufacturers To meet the growing demand in the global tractor tire market, leading manufacturers are ramping up production capacities and focusing heavily on research and development (R&D). Companies like CEAT and Trelleborg are investing in new manufacturing plants and expanding their distribution networks to improve turnaround times for replacement tires. Michelin, for instance, recently introduced a series of ultra-durable agricultural tires tailored to large-scale farms in North America and Europe, emphasizing enhanced lifespan while acknowledging that regular replacements will continue to drive revenue growth. The tractor tire replacement market is also seeing rising competition from new entrants and regional players. In Europe, brands like Cultor and Kenda are gaining popularity by offering cost-effective yet high-performance tire solutions, appealing to farmers seeking affordability and durability. This has prompted global manufacturers to innovate further and diversify their offerings to maintain market share. Increased tractor tire replacements, driven by factors such as the rise of high-horsepower tractors, expanding mechanization in emerging markets, and modern farming's diverse demands, are boosting market growth. Despite technological advancements in tire durability, the operational demands on tractors ensure continued demand for replacements. Manufacturers are well-positioned to benefit from this trend as they expand production and develop specialized solutions to meet various market needs. Competitive Landscape in the Global Tractor Tire Market The global tractor tire market is witnessing steady growth, driven by mechanization in agriculture and the demand for efficient farming equipment. Key players, including Bridgestone, Michelin, Titan International, Trelleborg, and Mitas, dominate the market through technological innovations, regional expansion, and strategic partnerships. Bridgestone has expanded its range in Europe with advanced radial tires, while Michelin has introduced eco-friendly solutions like the Michelin EvoBib to reduce soil compaction. Titan focuses on expanding OEM partnerships, particularly in North America. In the Asia-Pacific region, local players like BKT and CEAT are gaining ground, offering cost-effective solutions for regional farmers. BKT's pricing strategy has helped secure a strong position in India and Southeast Asia. Despite challenges such as fluctuating raw material costs, market players continue to invest in R&D to meet both performance and environmental standards. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.74% from 2024 to 2029, driven by emerging economies like India and Brazil.

NoneLibra Daily Horoscope Today, Dec 30, 2024 predicts pleasant momentsJimmy Carter: A brief bio
PHILIPPINE Vice President Sara Duterte said Saturday, November 23, 2024, she has contracted an assassin to kill the President, his wife and the House of Representatives speaker if she herself is killed, in a brazen public threat that she warned was not a joke. Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin referred the “active threat” against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to an elite presidential guards force “for immediate proper action.” It was not immediately clear what actions would be taken against the vice president. The Presidential Security Command immediately boosted Marcos’ security and said it considered the vice president’s threat, which was “made so brazenly in public,” a national security issue. The security force said it was “coordinating with law enforcement agencies to detect, deter, and defend against any and all threats to the president and the first family.” Marcos ran with Duterte as his vice-presidential running mate in the May 2022 elections and both won with landslide victories on a campaign call of national unity. The two leaders and their camps ,however, rapidly had a bitter falling-out over key differences, including in their approaches to China’s aggressive actions in the disputed South China Sea. Duterte resigned from the Marcos Cabinet in June as education secretary and head of an anti-insurgency body. Like her equally outspoken father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, the vice president became a vocal critic of Marcos, his wife Liza Araneta-Marcos and House Speaker Martin Romualdez, the president’s ally and cousin, accusing them of corruption, incompetence and politically persecuting the Duterte family and its close supporters. Her latest tirade was set off by the decision by House members allied with Romualdez and Marcos to detain her chief of staff, Zuleika Lopez, who was accused of hampering a congressional inquiry into the possible misuse of her budget as vice president and education secretary. Lopez was later transferred to a hospital after falling ill and wept when she heard of a plan to temporarily lock her up in a women’s prison. In a pre-dawn online news conference, an angry Sara Duterte accused Marcos of incompetence as a president and of being a liar, along with his wife and the House speaker in expletives-laden remarks. When asked about concerns over her security, the 46-year-old lawyer suggested there was an unspecified plot to kill her. “Don’t worry about my security because I’ve talked with somebody. I said ‘if I’m killed, you’ll kill BBM, Liza Araneta and Martin Romualdez. No joke, no joke,’” the vice president said without elaborating and using the initials that many use to call the president. “I’ve given my order, ‘If I die, don’t stop until you’ve killed them.’ And he said, ’yes,’” the vice president said. Under the Philippine penal code, such public remarks may constitute a crime of threatening to inflict a wrong on a person or his family and is punishable by a jail term and fine. Amid the political divisions, military chief Gen. Romeo Brawner issued a statement with an assurance that the 160,000-member Armed Forces of the Philippines would remain nonpartisan “with utmost respect for our democratic institutions and civilian authority.” “We call for calm and resolve,” Brawner said. “We reiterate our need to stand together against those who will try to break our bonds as Filipinos.” The vice president is the daughter of Marcos’ predecessor, Rodrigo Duterte, whose police-enforced anti-drugs crackdown when he was a city mayor and later as president left thousands of mostly petty drug suspects dead in killings that the International Criminal Court has been investigating as a possible crime against humanity. The former president denied authorizing extrajudicial killings under his crackdown but has given conflicting statements. He told a public Philippine Senate inquiry last month that he had maintained a “death squad” of gangsters to kill other criminals when he was mayor of southern Davao city.

Josh Hubbard scored 25 points and Claudell Harris Jr. scored 21 on 6-of-9 shooting as Mississippi State escaped with a 91-84 win against Prairie View A&M on Sunday in Starkville, Miss. Prairie View A&M took a 65-64 lead with 10:38 remaining, but Hubbard and Harris Jr. each scored seven points to power the ensuing 14-1 run that put Mississippi State up for good. Hubbard punctuated the rally with a 3-pointer that made it 78-66 with 5:51 to play. The Bulldogs (8-1) stretched their lead to as many as 13 points in the closing minutes to notch their second straight win. Shawn Jones Jr. added 11 points for Mississippi State, while Michael Nwoko added 10 points and 10 rebounds. RJ Melendez also netted 10 points. The Panthers (1-8) were led by the trio of Nick Anderson (21 points) Tanahj Pettway (20) and Marcel Bryant (19). Pettway drilled 4 of 5 3-pointers and Bryant grabbed seven rebounds. Prairie View A&M got off to a hot start, opening up a 27-12 lead with 10:42 left in the first half. It was a surprising haymaker from the visitors, who entered the game winless in Division I play and faced a Bulldogs team that was ranked last week. Mississippi State eventually found its stride offensively, turning things around with a 32-17 run to tie the game at 44 entering halftime. The Bulldogs shot 50 percent from the field overall in the first half, but only made six of their 17 attempts from 3-point range (35.3 percent). Their defense remained an issue throughout the half, with the Panthers hitting 16 of their 27 shots (59.3 percent) and canning 5 of 8 3-pointers. Neither team led by more than five early in the second half until Mississippi State pulled away. The Bulldogs finished the game shooting 55.6 percent from the floor (30-of-54) and drilled 11 of 26 attempts (42.3 percent) from long range. They outrebounded Prairie View A&M 35-22 and outscored them 31-20 in bench points. The Panthers held a 34-32 advantage in points in the paint and shot 56.4 percent overall for the game, including 52.6 percent (10-of-19) on threes. --Field Level MediaPresident-elect Donald Trump has selected Scott Bessent, a prominent money manager and advocate for deficit reduction and deregulation, to serve as the next Treasury Secretary. Bessent, a billionaire from South Carolina, has become a strong supporter of Trump and, if confirmed by the Senate, will manage the nation’s finances during a critical time. Who is Scott Bessent? Scott Bessent is a South Carolina billionaire and financial expert who has held key positions in the world of finance. He has previously worked for George Soros and contributed to several Democratic causes before aligning himself with President-elect Donald Trump. Bessent’s rise to prominence in the financial world is marked by his role in Soros’ London investment operations, where he made a significant impact during the famous 1992 bet against the British pound. Bessent’s Shift from Democrat to Trump Ally Before becoming a supporter of Trump, Bessent was known for his donations to Democratic causes in the early 2000s. He notably supported Al Gore’s presidential bid and worked with Soros, a major Democratic benefactor. Over time, however, Bessent shifted his political allegiance, becoming a staunch Trump supporter, particularly due to the president-elect’s economic policies and vision for fiscal reform. Deficit Reduction and Tax Cuts: Bessent’s Economic Focus Bessent is a strong advocate for reducing the federal deficit, an issue he believes will dominate America’s economic agenda. He has shown support for extending the tax cuts from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which Trump implemented during his first year in office. While these tax cuts are estimated to cost between $6 trillion to $10 trillion over the next 10 years, Bessent advocates for spending cuts and adjustments to tax policies to offset the cost. He has already engaged in talks with Republican members of Congress, emphasizing the need for a negotiation to secure the financial stability of the country while extending the tax cuts. Tariffs: A Strategic Economic Tool Bessent has expressed a view that tariffs can serve as an effective economic tool for achieving Trump’s foreign policy objectives. Trump proposed steep tariffs during his campaign, especially targeting China, with rates reaching up to 60% for Chinese imports. While tariffs are often criticized by economists, Bessent defends them, arguing that they can act as sanctions without directly imposing punitive measures. He sees tariffs as a way to tackle issues such as currency manipulation, overproduction, and the need for foreign nations to adjust their economic policies in favor of the U.S. A Historic Appointment: Bessent as the First Openly Gay Treasury Secretary If confirmed, Bessent will become the first openly gay Treasury Secretary in U.S. history. This marks a significant moment for both the LGBTQ community and Trump’s administration. Although Richard Grenell, who is openly gay, served as the acting director of national intelligence in 2020, Bessent’s confirmation would make him the first openly LGBTQ Senate-confirmed cabinet member in a Republican administration. In a 2015 interview, Bessent reflected on his personal journey, acknowledging the drastic changes in societal views on LGBTQ rights, including his own legal marriage and family life. His confirmation would be a notable milestone for both his personal life and for LGBTQ representation in politics. What’s Next for Scott Bessent? As Scott Bessent awaits confirmation by the Senate, the financial world is keeping a close eye on his policies, especially his approach to deficit reduction and his support for extending Trump’s tax cuts. His views on tariffs as a tool for foreign policy and his historic potential to become the first openly gay Treasury Secretary have already sparked discussions about his future role in U.S. governance.

In a few seconds of suspense, the post-credits scene showcases three players — numbers 096, 100, and 353 — approaching Young-hee, the infamous robotic doll from the "Red Light, Green Light" game, as mentioned in a report by TV Insider. The doll, known for detecting movement and signaling executions, is not alone this time. Standing opposite Young-hee is a second, boy-like doll. As a streetlight flickers from red to green, the ominous scene cuts, leaving fans to speculate on the significance of this new addition to the games. What does the scene suggest? At first glance, the post-credits moment appears to confirm the continuation of the brutal games, but with a new twist — the introduction of dual dolls, adding complexity and danger to the already ruthless challenges. The presence of players 096 and 100, both of whom abstained from participating in Gi-Hun’s rebellion, could signify their survival into this next phase. The new storyline The new doll’s introduction might carry deeper symbolic meaning. Throughout Season 2, Gi-Hun struggled with moral dilemmas and strategic failures, losing both allies and the high ground in his fight against the system. Interestingly, Front Man, who shares a history as a former player, has shadowed Gi-Hun throughout his journey, influencing key decisions. This raises the question: Could Gi-Hun succumb to the manipulations of Front Man and be recruited into the games’ inner workings, just as Front Man himself once was? The presence of the boy-like doll could symbolize a shift in the power dynamics of the games, potentially reflecting Gi-Hun’s own transformation or signaling the dawn of a new era in the twisted saga. What awaits in Season 3? As fans await the return of Squid Game for its third season, the post-credits scene leaves much to be unraveled. Will Gi-Hun find redemption, or will he be pulled deeper into the games’ sinister grip? And what role will the new doll play in shaping the deadly challenges ahead? FAQs Is Squid Game season 3 confirmed? Netflix has yet to confirm an official release date for the third season of its dystopian thriller, but it has been announced that the new season will debut sometime in 2025. Is the Squid Game based on a true story? Hwang drew inspiration from the traditional Korean games of his childhood to highlight the irony of simple, playful activities once free of stakes transforming into a life-or-death competition.

Francis, 87, declined an invitation from French President Emmanuel Macron to attend the Notre Dame reopening ceremony in Paris on December 7. He will however head to Corsica's capital Ajaccio for a conference on the Catholic faith in the Mediterranean one week later on December 15, the Vatican said. Some French bishops were "annoyed" by the pope's decision to stay away from the Notre Dame gala, according to one bishop speaking on condition of anonymity. But the head of the Bishops' Conference of France (CEF) Archbishop Eric de Moulins-Beaufort said: "The star of the Notre Dame reopening ceremony is Notre Dame itself." The pope had not wanted his presence to be a distraction from the essential point of the occasion, he added. "It's not a snub aimed at France," said another bishop. Francis's one-day trip to Corsica will be the first papal visit to the island, where 90 percent of its 350,000 population is Catholic, according to the local Church, and religious traditions remain deeply rooted. He will give two speeches, preside over a mass and meet Macron during his nine hours on the island, the Vatican said. "It is a historic event, we will give ourselves the extraordinary means to put on an exceptional welcome for the Holy Father," said Bishop of Ajaccio Francois-Xavier Bustillo said in a video posted on social media. Francis, who will celebrate his 88th birthday on December 17, has been to France twice since becoming head of the worldwide Catholic Church in 2013. He visited Strasbourg in 2014, where he addressed the European Parliament, and last year went to Marseille for a meeting of Mediterranean area bishops, where he met Macron. He has yet to make a state visit to France, one of Europe's main majority-Catholic countries. He is also yet to make state visits to Spain, the United Kingdom or Germany. The Argentine pontiff prefers visiting smaller or less established Catholic communities, from Malta to Mongolia. The Corsica visit was championed by the popular media-friendly Bustillo, who was made a cardinal by Pope Francis in September 2023. "It will not be a state visit, but a pastoral visit. It will be a beautiful moment, a moment of hope and joy," he told AFP. In addition, the head of the Catholic Church is scheduled to be at the Vatican on December 7-8 for a service at which he will create 21 new cardinals. Rescheduling appointments over coming months would appear to be tricky, given the multitude of events due to take place in Rome in 2025, a Catholic jubilee year. Bustillo is one of the active cardinals Francis has appointed in the Mediterranean region, with the pope keen they "work together to meet the specific challenges of the area", a bishop told AFP on condition of anonymity. Those issues include migration, global warming and interreligious dialogue. Corsica will be the 47th overseas visit for Francis and his third this year, after a long tour of the Asia Pacific in early September and a trip to Belgium and Luxembourg the same month. cmk-bur/tw/jmBrooklyn, NY, Nov. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- - Cemtrex Inc. (NASDAQ: CETX, CETXP), an advanced security technology and industrial services company, today announced that its Board of Directors authorized the stockholders approved 1-for-35 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Reverse Stock Split will become effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on November 26, 2024 (the “Effective Time”). The Common Stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CETX” and will begin trading on a post-split basis when the market opens on November 26, 2024. The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split will be 15130G881. The Reverse Stock Split is intended to enable the Company to regain compliance with the minimum closing bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq. At the Effective Time of the Reverse Stock Split, every 35 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock will be combined into one share of Common Stock issued and outstanding, with no change to the par value of $0.001 per share. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and instead each holder of Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will receive one whole share of Common Stock in lieu of such fractional share. The principal effect of the Reverse Split will be that (i) the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding will be reduced to one-thirty-fifth that amount, and (ii) all outstanding options and warrants (other than the Adjustable Warrants) entitling the holders thereof to purchase shares of common stock will enable such holders to purchase, upon exercise of their options or warrants, one-twentieth of the number of shares of common stock which such holders would have been able to purchase upon exercise of their options or warrants, immediately preceding the Reverse Split at an exercise price equal to 35 times the exercise price specified before the Reverse Split, resulting in essentially the same aggregate price being required to be paid therefor upon exercise thereof immediately preceding the Reverse Split. Other awards under our 2020 Equity Compensation Plan would be subject to proportionate adjustments. ClearTrust, LLC is acting as transfer and exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders with shares held in certificated form will receive from ClearTrust, LLC instructions regarding the exchange of their certificates. Stockholders that hold shares in book-entry form or hold their shares in brokerage accounts are not required to take any action and will see the impact of the Reverse Stock Split reflected in their accounts, subject to brokers’ particular processes. Beneficial holders of Common Stock are encouraged to contact their bank, broker, custodian or other nominee with questions regarding procedures for processing the Reverse Stock Split.

Trump threat to immigrant health care tempered by economic hopesPhnom Penh, Nov 23 (IANS): Representatives of Asian political parties on Saturday reiterated the significance of global and regional cooperation in enhancing civilisational connectivity, inter-generational solidarity and cultural diversity, said a Phnom Penh statement. Such cooperation will transform cultural assets into resources for peace and reconciliation, the statement said. The statement was issued after the third meeting of the Asian Cultural Council (ACC) of the International Conference of Asian Political Parties (ICAPP), which was held in Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia. The meeting was attended by representatives of 49 political parties from 28 countries and regions. The representatives supported the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in its endeavours to encourage all stakeholders to fulfill their duty of ensuring the identification, protection, and conservation of their cultural and natural heritage by upholding a culture of respect of civilisations as a compass for a human future. "We emphasised that the Silk Road is millennia-old route of exchanges of trade, culture and religion, as well as dialogue and knowledge between the East and the West that has contributed greatly to the common prosperity of humankind," the statement said. The representatives recognised the lack of intercultural understanding and interfaith dialogue as root causes of extremism and conflicts, intolerance, discrimination, social tensions and political instability in recent years, and emphasised the importance of a multilateral framework as a mechanism to enhance cultural dialogue in promoting better understanding of civilisations, Xinhua news agency reported. They recognised that a culture of innovation is best understood as the adoption of novel solutions, practices and processes to address existing problems and emerging challenges, with the ultimate aim of securing peace and promoting sustainable development. "In this regard, we stressed that digital technology and digitalization can contribute to promoting better appreciation of various civilisations as a foundation of a shared humanity," the statement said.None
