This unexpected turn of events not only marred what was supposed to be a joyous celebration but also raised concerns about the safety and regulation of drone usage in public events.One of the biggest challenges facing Solskjaer is how to unlock the potential of the existing players at the club.

Title: "Jian Jun's Opinion on FIFPRO Best XI: Is Replacing Mbappe with Salah at Right Wing More Reasonable?"
In conclusion, Son Heung-min's value to both Tottenham Hotspur and the South Korean national team cannot be understated. His skill, determination, and leadership set him apart as a special player who has the ability to change the course of a game with a single touch of the ball. As long as Son continues to believe in himself and work hard, he will remain a vital player for his club and country for years to come.Sylvester Stallone almost stamped out his relationship with his now-wife when things got rocky. The 78-year-old is looking back with regret at the time he decided to send Jennifer Flavin Stallone a breakup letter via FedEx in 1994, three years before they married. "Who FedExs a breakup letter?" Sean Hannity asked the Rocky star on the first episode of his Fox Nation show Sean , released Dec. 3, to which the actor, sitting beside his wife, responded, "A coward does." Sylvester added, "That's the most insincere breakup you can get. You put it down in words 'cause you don’t have the guts to do it face to face." The Expendables actor—who share Sophia Stallone , 28, Sistine Stallone , 26, Scarlet Stallone , 22, with his wife of 27 years—stressed he didn't actually want to break up with Jennifer at the time. "In my profession, or my life, I should say, the way I've been structured is my history with relationships is an abomination," he said. "I couldn't live without her. She is my everything, my sun, my moon, everything." Jennifer, now 56, has herself also spoken about the infamous FedEx breakup letter, which Sylvester sent her in March 1994. "He sent me a six-page handwritten letter, in pen," she told People a few weeks later. "It was pretty sloppy." She also shared at the time that she had learned that the actor had been having an affair with supermodel Janice Dickinson , who had given birth to a daughter the previous February. Ultimately, a paternity test revealed Sylvester was not the child's biological father, leading him and Janice to end their romance. He reconciled with Jennifer in 1995. That was not the only time Sylvester and Jennifer had called it quits on their relationship. In August 2022, the actor's wife filed for divorce after 25 years of marriage. By the following September, the couple appeared to be back together, with the Rambo star sharing an Instagram photo of the two holding hands, along with the caption, "Wonderful...." Their rep later confirmed the two had reconciled. "They decided to meet back up at home, where they talked and were able to work out their differences," they told Page Six that month. "They are both extremely happy." Look back at more famous couples who reconciled after calling it quits... Sylvester Stallone & Jennifer Flavin Stallone In 1994, four years after they went public with their relationship and three years before they married, the Rocky actor sent a breakup letter to his now-wife via FedEx. "Who FedExs a breakup letter?" Sean Hannity asked the actor on the first episode of his Fox Nation show Sean , released Dec. 3, 2024. The actor, sitting beside his wife, responded, "A coward does." Around the time she received the letter, Jennifer learned that Sylvester had been having an affair with supermodel Janice Dickinson , who had given birth to a daughter months earlier. A paternity test later revealed he was not the child's biological father, and he and Janice split and he got back together with Jennifer. In August 2022, she filed for divorce after 25 years of marriage. By the following month, the couple was back together . When they saw each other at the 2007 Golden Globes, their "love connection" was palpable, according to Jessica's 7th Heaven costar Beverley Mitchell . "I was like, 'OK, this is happening.'" After several years together, however, they released a joint statement in March 2011 confirming their mututal decison "to part ways." But it was clear they still had feelings for each other . Soon enough, the pair reconciled and tied the knot in October 2012. They welcomed son Silas on April 8, 2015, and his brother Phineas in July 2020. "We have similar values," Jessica told Marie Claire in 2017. "We believe in loyalty, honesty. We like to have fun. We like a lot of the same things. Also, in the business, we're all very career-oriented, and you have to be a little selfish. I understand that about my peers—about being focused and driven—and if you can find that and someone who shares the same values as you, it's like, 'Score!'" Ben Affleck & Jennifer Lopez No one had the resurrection of Bennifer on their bingo card heading into 2021. But the couple who so splashily dated before calling off their engagement in September 2003 (though they didn't confirm their split until January 2004) had other ideas. Ben and J.Lo saw their previous commitment and raised it a marriage, tying the knot in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022, and celebrating with a big bash in Georgia a month later. In August 2024, the v from Ben after two years of marriage. As reports of an imminent engagement started to make the rounds in the U.K. in early 2007, William broke up with his college sweetheart after four years together. That June, however, he invited Kate to a costume party at his barracks in Dorset (his first military posting was with the Blues and Royals of the British Army's Household Cavalry) and apparently her sexy nurse outfit was the shot in the arm the future king needed . A few years later, William proposed with the 12-carat Ceylon sapphire ring that belonged to his late mother, Princess Diana , and the couple's engagement was announced Nov. 16, 2010. When looking back at their brief split, William said in their first joint interview, "We were both very young. We were both finding ourselves and being different characters. It was very much trying to find our own way and we were growing up so it was just a bit of space, and it worked out for the better." Kate admitted she "wasn't very happy about it" at the time, but ultimately it made her "a stronger person." The knot was tied April 29, 2011 . The singer and the motocross racer started dating in 2001 after meeting at the Summer X Games. They married in 2006, but two years later ended up taking an 11-month break. "We were working all the time; there was so much time between our visits," Pink explained their rationale to Redbook. "Carey would see me for five days and be gone for six weeks. We'd try to fix everything in those five days—you just can't do that." The lusty pair reunited when Pink made Carey a photo album of old cards and pictures, showed him her unsigned divorce papers and wore his favorite pair of lingerie in a hotel suite in Las Vegas. They welcomed daughter Willow June 2, 2011, and son Jameson Dec. 26, 2016. Even these two had some ups and downs before taking their vows on Sept. 14, 2013. After meeting on the set of Legend's "Stereo" music video in 2006, the pair quickly coupled up, but a year later the singer started feeling overwhelmed. "I was really stressed and busy," he told The Guardian in 2017 of that almost-pivotal time. "I was just like: 'I'd just be happier single right now,' and she was like: 'No.'" So that was cleared up in the course of a day. They've since become parents to Luna (April 17, 2016), Miles (May 16, 2018), Esti (Jan. 13, 2023) and Wren (June 19, 2023, via surrogate). The Real Housewives of Atlanta star had been with Gregg since 1996, but filed for divorce in 2011. "I always felt like you have to teach people how to treat you and I felt like at that time that Gregg wasn't treating me the way I felt I should be treated," she shared on Uncensored in 2018. "It was me teaching Gregg a lesson." Gregg clearly got the message, as the pair remarried in 2013, letting the cameras in for I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding , and they were together until his death from cancer in 2021 . The Frozen star and the Armchair Expert host first hit it off at a friend's birthday party in 2007, but within a few months, their relationship took a turn. "He sat me down and said, 'I can't have this right now. I think you're wonderful, but I am still dating other people.' And then I, like, liquefied and fell to the ground, but I felt incredibly respected that he had the balls to tell me we weren't in the same place," Kristen later told Pop Sugar . But after only four days, the actress' phone rang with a remorseful Dax begging her to take him back. They married in 2013, on some day or other , and are parents to daughters Lincoln and Delta . The Maroon 5 singer dated Behati for almost a year, but in 2013 The Voice judge had seemingly moved on with model Nina Agdal . But after just a couple of months, Adam was back with Behati and he brought a ring with him . "Famous last words: "I'll never get married,'" he said on The Tonight Show in October 2013. "You know, I still don't think you have to get married, unless you meet someone that makes you want to marry them. And then you marry them and it's wonderful." Adam and Behati share daughters Dusty Rose (Sept. 21, 2016), Gio Grace (Feb. 15, 2018) and a son born in 2023 whose name they've yet to disclose. The very hot-for-each-other All My Children costars briefly cooled off in 1996, but quickly reconnected at a taping of what was then Live With Regis and Kathie Lee . "It was their Mother's Day special. They were pre-taping it, and one of the dreams of one of the mothers was to meet Mark and me. We were her favorite characters on All My Children ," Kelly recalled on Betches' Comments by Celebs . "She wanted to meet us, and I think we drove out a new car or pushed out a new pool table or something. She got a present from her kids and we brought it out to her. It all is so connected." The next day, May 1, 1996, they eloped in Las Vegas and went on to have sons Michael (June 2, 1997) and Joaquin (Feb. 24, 2003) and daughter Lola (June 16, 2001). They also now share a talk show, Live With Kelly and Mark . The longtime friends met in 2009 when Hailey's dad Stephen Baldwin introduced his daughter to Canadian heartthrob backstage at The Today Show . Seven years after their first meetup, they went Instagram official, Justin posting a pic of them sharing a kiss. But that only lasted a few months, and they went their separate ways. In May 2018, however, the model and the "Sorry" singer reunited with a vengeance: They got engaged that July and married in September. In an interview with The Times UK , Hailey reflected on their surprising trajectory. "I met him when I was really young and he was one of my best friends...at a certain point in time that turned into something else, but that just happens when you're 18, 19," she said. "We went through a long period of time when we weren't friends...We've moved past that." In August 2024, Hailey and Justin welcomed their first baby , son Jack Blues Bieber . The Breaking In actress and the NBA player made their red carpet debut in July 2010, but by the start of 2013, they needed some time apart. "It was because of distance and scheduling," Gabrielle told Glamour . "I finished filming the show, then I flew to Vegas right away to start shooting Think Like a Man Too . I couldn't take time off, and I missed some quality togetherness we desperately needed." Within a few months, however, the all-star pair had made up, and by the end of the year, Dwyane was ready to bring it on. They got married on Aug. 30, 2014. The 98 Degrees singer and the TRL host met in 2006 on the set of Nick's music video for his marital-breakup lament "What's Left of Me," with Vanessa playing the role of heartbreaker. They started dating, but split in June 2009. "We're trying to figure things out," Nick told Us Weekly. I don't pretend to know what the future holds, but everything's good. Vanessa's a good girl, and I care about her a lot." They found their way back to each other by October 2009 and married on July 15, 2011. They're parents to sons Camden (September 2012) and Phoenix (December 2016) and daughter Brooklyn (January 2015).By AAMER MADHANI, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — A top White House official on Wednesday said at least eight U.S. telecom firms and dozens of nations have been impacted by a Chinese hacking campaign. Deputy national security adviser Anne Neuberger offered new details about the breadth of the sprawling Chinese hacking campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans. Neuberger divulged the scope of the hack a day after the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued guidance intended to help root out the hackers and prevent similar cyberespionage in the future. White House officials cautioned that a number of telecommunication firms and countries impacted could still grow. The U.S. believes that the hackers were able to gain access to communications of senior U.S. government officials and prominent political figures through the hack, Neuberger said. “We don’t believe any classified communications has been compromised,” Neuberger added during a call with reporters. She added that Biden has been briefed on the findings and that the White House “has made it a priority for the federal government to do everything it can to get to the bottom this.” The Chinese embassy in Washington on Tuesday rejected the accusations that it was responsible for the hack after the U.S. federal authorities issued new guidance. “The U.S. needs to stop its own cyberattacks against other countries and refrain from using cyber security to smear and slander China,” embassy spokesperson Liu Pengyu said. The embassy did not immediately respond to messages on Wednesday. Associated Press writer David Klepper contributed reporting.
VALENCIA, Calif., Dec. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AVITA Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCEL, ASX: AVH), a commercial-stage regenerative medicine company focused on first-in-class devices for wound care management and skin restoration, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its premarket approval (PMA) supplement for RECELL GO ® mini. As a line extension of the RECELL GO system, the RECELL GO mini disposable cartridge is designed specifically to treat smaller wounds up to 480 square centimeters, compared to the standard RECELL GO disposable cartridge, which treats an area of 1,920 square centimeters.

We believe this addition will drive greater adoption across trauma centers, where smaller wounds are common, and support our broader growth strategy.” The company expects RECELL GO mini to serve as a growth driver within the broader RECELL GO platform, further advancing AVITA Medical’s strategy to expand its impact on patient care. Rollout will begin with trauma and burn centers that currently treat smaller wounds during the first quarter of 2025. The PMA supplement follows the original PMA of RECELL Autologous Cell Harvesting Device and subsequent PMA supplements. About AVITA Medical, Inc.
