MELBOURNE, Australia and INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX; Nasdaq: TLX, Telix, the Company) today announces that it has submitted its Biologics License Application (BLA) to the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for TLX250-CDx (Zircaix®1, 89Zr- girentuximab) kidney cancer imaging2. TLX250-CDx is an investigational PET3 drug product for the non-invasive diagnosis and characterization of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most common and aggressive form of kidney cancer. If approved, TLX250-CDx will be the first and only targeted PET agent specifically for kidney cancer to be commercially available in the U.S., further building on Telix’s successful urology imaging franchise. The FDA is expected to advise the PDUFA4 goal date following the 60-day administrative review of the application. Kevin Richardson, Chief Executive Officer, Precision Medicine at Telix, stated, “We are pleased to be progressing the BLA for TLX250-CDx, which has been granted Breakthrough designation, and may therefore be eligible for priority review. Telix continues to target a full U.S. commercial launch in 2025 addressing a major unmet medical need for patients with suspected ccRCC.” About TLX250-CDx TLX250-CDx (Zircaix®1) is an investigational PET agent that is under development for the diagnosis and characterization of ccRCC. Telix’s pivotal Phase III ZIRCON trial (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03849118 ) evaluating TLX250-CDx in 300 patients, of whom 284 were evaluable, met all primary and secondary endpoints, including showing 86% sensitivity and 87% specificity and a 93% positive-predictive value for ccRCC across three independent radiology readers5. Telix believes this demonstrated the ability of TLX250-CDx to reliably detect the clear cell phenotype and provide an accurate, non-invasive method for diagnosing and characterizing ccRCC. Confidence intervals exceeded expectations amongst all three readers, showing evidence of high accuracy and consistency of interpretation. About Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited Telix is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals and associated medical technologies. Telix is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, with international operations in the United States, Europe (Belgium and Switzerland), and Japan.

ALTOONA, Pa. (AP) — The suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO struggled with deputies and shouted Tuesday while arriving for a court appearance in Pennsylvania, a day after he was arrested at a McDonald’s and charged with murder. Luigi Nicholas Mangione emerged from a patrol car, spun toward reporters and shouted something partly unintelligible referring to an “insult to the intelligence of the American people” while deputies pushed him inside. Prosecutors were beginning to take steps to bring Mangione back to New York to face a murder charge while new details emerged about his life and how he was captured. The 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland real estate family was charged with murder hours after he was arrested in the Manhattan killing of Brian Thompson , who led the United States’ largest medical insurance company. At the brief hearing, defense lawyer Thomas Dickey informed the court that Mangione would not waive extradition to New York but instead wants a hearing on the issue. He has 14 days to challenge detention. Mangione, wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, mostly stared straight ahead at the hearing, occasionally consulting papers, rocking in his chair or looking back at the gallery. At one point, he began to speak to respond to the court discussion but was quieted by his lawyer. Mangione likely was motivated by his anger with what he called “parasitic” health insurance companies and a disdain for corporate greed, a law enforcement bulletin obtained by The Associated Press said. He wrote that the U.S. has the most expensive health care system in the world and that profits of major corporations continue to rise while “our life expectancy” does not, according to the bulletin, based on a review of his hand-written notes and social media posts. Mangione called “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski a “political revolutionary” and may have found inspiration from the man who carried out a series of bombings while railing against modern society and technology, according to police bulletin. Mangione remained jailed in Pennsylvania, where he was initially charged with possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. Manhattan prosecutors have obtained an arrest warrant, a step that could help expedite his extradition from Pennsylvania. Mangione was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania — about 230 miles (about 370 kilometers) west of New York City — after a McDonald's customer recognized him and notified an employee, authorities said. Officers found him sitting at a back table, wearing a blue medical mask and looking at a laptop, according to a Pennsylvania police criminal complaint. He initially gave them a fake ID, but when an officer asked Mangione whether he’d been to New York recently, he “became quiet and started to shake,” the complaint says. When he pulled his mask down at officers' request, “we knew that was our guy,” rookie Officer Tyler Frye said. Images of Mangione released Tuesday by Pennsylvania State Police showed him pulling down his mask in the corner of the McDonald's while holding what appeared to be hash browns and wearing a winter jacket and beanie. In another photo from a holding cell, he stood unsmiling with rumpled hair. New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Mangione was carrying a gun like the one used to kill Thompson and the same fake ID the shooter had used to check into a New York hostel, along with a passport and other fraudulent IDs. NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Mangione also had a three-page, handwritten document that shows “some ill will toward corporate America." A law enforcement official who wasn’t authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity said the document included a line in which Mangione claimed to have acted alone. “To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone,” the document said, according to the official. It also had a line that said, “I do apologize for any strife or traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming.” Pennsylvania prosecutor Peter Weeks said in court that Mangione was found with a passport and $10,000 in cash, $2,000 of it in foreign currency. Mangione disputed the amount. Thompson, 50, was killed Wednesday as he walked alone to a Manhattan hotel for an investor conference. Police quickly came to see the shooting as a targeted attack by a gunman who appeared to wait for Thompson, came up behind him and fired a 9 mm pistol. Investigators have said “delay,” “deny” and “depose” were written on ammunition found near Thompson's body. The words mimic “delay, deny, defend,” a phrase used to criticize the insurance industry . From surveillance video, New York investigators determined the shooter quickly fled the city, likely by bus. A grandson of a wealthy, self-made real estate developer and philanthropist, Mangione is a cousin of a current Maryland state legislator. Valedictorian at his elite Baltimore prep school, he went on to earn undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science in 2020 from the University of Pennsylvania, a spokesperson said. “Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest,” Mangione’s family said in a statement posted on social media late Monday by his cousin, Maryland Del. Nino Mangione. “We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved.” From January to June 2022, Luigi Mangione lived at Surfbreak, a “co-living” space at the edge of touristy Waikiki in Honolulu. Like other residents of the shared penthouse catering to remote workers, Mangione underwent a background check, said Josiah Ryan, a spokesperson for owner and founder R.J. Martin. “Luigi was just widely considered to be a great guy. There were no complaints,” Ryan said. "There was no sign that might point to these alleged crimes they’re saying he committed.” At Surfbreak, Martin learned Mangione had severe back pain from childhood that interfered with many aspects of his life, from surfing to romance, Ryan said. Mangione left Surfbreak to get surgery on the mainland, Ryan said, then later returned to Honolulu and rented an apartment. Martin stopped hearing from Mangione six months to a year ago. ___ Scolforo reported from Altoona and Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania.

SPOILER ALERT: This story discusses major plot points, including the ending for “ Gladiator II ,” currently playing in theaters. All hail Macrinus! In a world of political backstabbing, power and ambition, Denzel Washington’s Macrinus enters the arena in Ridley Scott ’s “ Gladiator II” with troops and guards under a canopy. He reeks of wealth and oozes power. The role has been a favorite of fans and critics, and Washington is earning some serious Oscar buzz. Scott’s sequel picks up 16 years after the original “Gladiator” ends. It tells the story of Lucius ( Paul Mescal ) whose town is attacked by Roman soldiers. The invasion leads to tragedy as Lucius’ wife is killed and he’s captured as a prisoner. Enter Macrinus, a wealthy trader who spots Lucius and buys him for his own. But audiences aren’t quite sure of Macrinus and his motives at first. It’s clear he’s a powerful player in all of this, but whether his intentions are good or bad isn’t immediately clear. Scott and his go-to team of collaborators told Macrinus’ story by planting clues to his true nature. Scott explains the idea behind Macrinus’ past. Washington’s character had been a prisoner of war, taken to Rome and turned into fodder for the arena. Still, “he earned his way out as a good gladiator,” says Scott. The idea was he eventually earned his freedom “maybe by getting a job as a supplier to the armies of Rome.” Macrinus rides under a canopy, and cinematographer John Mathieson says, “He’s remarkable looking. He’s very bling, flamboyant and he’s robed, and he’s obviously not from Rome, but he has done very well. He’s deeply mischievous, treacherous, and you feel that. He is incredibly polite and kind, even to those who owe him money.” Composer Harry Gregson-Williams, who stepped in for Hans Zimmer to score the film’s music, echoed this through his score: “We know we’re kind of attracted to him because he’s kind of a cool character, but he’s a slippery character.” When it came to Macrinus’ musical motif, he relied on the electric baritone violin and electric cello to hint at who he was. “I created this motif that is slippery and slides around.” Thematically, Macrinus’ material was “quite creepy that evolves into something much bolder” to reflect his scheming ways and ambition as he navigates his way through the halls of power in Rome. Production designer Arthur Max, who worked on the first “Gladiator” film, knew Macrinus would need a visual motif. In meeting with his fellow department heads, art was a huge inspiration for Macrinus — in particular Jean-Léon Gérôme — his 1872 Pollice Verso painting and other works by the artist. Max says, “He comes from the polytheistic pagan world of ancient Rome, which he’s a part of, they adopted gods from the animal world. We decided to give him two motifs and distributed those throughout his universe; one was the wolf and the other one was the snake.” The double snake motifs could be seen on the flags his troops were carrying, and the wolf heads could be seen around the curvature of his chariot — all hinting to the true nature of this man. Wealth was also reflected in Washington’s costumes, with rich fabrics draped over his 15 total tunics for every costume change. He collaborated closely with costume designer Janty Yates to build his look. At one point, there was an idea of putting him in a headpiece, but since Scott nor Washington liked the idea, it was quickly nixed. Yates says, “But Denzel did wear the earrings, which was great because that gives him a slightly off-center feel. It was brilliant.” They were clip-on earrings because Washington didn’t have pierced ears. When Macrinus is in the suburban colosseum with the baboons, his outfit is subtle and majestic. Once he goes to Rome, he sits in the royal box alongside the Emperors. Yates used original hand-embroidered drapes. One particular outfit is the green drape which was encrusted in jewels. Yates says, “It was bought in Milan from a man who imports ancient Indian fabrics and embroidery.” He also wore a bit of leopard skin print. Scott says Washington embraced his silk, and the idea of his adjusting his fabrics was his idea. “He chose to do that. That’s Denzel. He’s so inventive. I thought that’s really amusing.” But it also spoke to his character. Makeup artist Jana Carboni didn’t want to get in the way of Washington’s performance. She says, “We decided to go for something simple and straightforward. So the idea was to make him look very groomed and, in a way, vain. He wasn’t too loud because he needed to be chameleon-like and fit in everywhere. Also, we kept it simple because he was going to play with his jewelry.” The only tweak that was made was to his hair. “I said, ‘It’d be lovely if we could bring the silvery-gray out in your hair,’ and he loved the idea.” As Mescal’s Lucius hopes for and fights for a better Rome, Macrinus has other plans: a bloodthirsty quest for revenge. Twin emperors, played by Joseph Quinn and Fred Hechinger, stand in his way. “He’s a very sinister mercurial character,” says cinematographer John Mathieson. Scott says that Macrinus always coveted the throne, but the more time he spends around the emperors “the throne is becoming, ultimately, very practical. His plan might have been,’ I will wait until one of the twins dies, I can’t do anything else because otherwise it’d be too obvious, but then things start to present themselves to him as possibility.” Mathieson made sure to capture Macrinus, even when he was in the shadows, lurking. “I always put a ping of light in his eyes, these eyes that are just going through you. I made sure I caught him.” When the twins fall out, Scott says Macrinus has found a window and he seizes it. “I can get rid of one of these.” Yates dressed him in a white jacquard silk draped fabric with gold trim. “I wanted to keep him very elegant, but simple.” She explains, “He had reached the point where he was so close to the emperors, we wanted him to look sort of almost innocent.” Except the irony was that he wasn’t, and he seized that moment and beheads one of them. Yes, Macrinus is the true villain of the film, but it’s up to Lucius to restore order and power to Rome and defeat him. For his last scene, Yates put Macrinus in a majestic peacock blue tunic. Macrinus and Lucius face one another in an epic fight in a river that Max and his team built. It doesn’t end well for Macrinus. Lucius slices off his arm with a sword, and one final swing ends him. Says Scott, “I think he earned the right to die that way. 100 percent. What a bad guy. He still had a little bit of the gladiator in him, and was a good warrior. You see that come out with Paul’s character, he fights dirty.” Scott likens the final fight to an alleyway fight – fighting dirty. That’s what Lucius had to do. ”One of them had to die.”How Blogging Builds Trust and Brand Loyalty

The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has processed 15,547 crore transactions totalling Rs 223 lakh crore from January to November this year, as reported by the Finance Ministry on Saturday. In a social media post on X, the ministry highlighted the significant impact of UPI on financial transactions in India. Using the hashtag #FinMinYearReview2024, the ministry emphasized UPI's growing influence globally, noting its increasing adoption in various countries. India's digital payment revolution is gaining worldwide traction, with both UPI and RuPay making rapid strides internationally. Currently, UPI operates in seven countries, including the UAE, Singapore, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, France, and Mauritius. UPI, a digital payment system that enables instant money transfers between bank accounts, was launched in 2016 by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) and has since transformed India’s payment ecosystem by integrating multiple bank accounts into a single mobile application. This system has streamlined fund transfers, merchant payments, and peer-to-peer transactions, providing users with flexibility, such as scheduled payment requests. UPI has made financial transactions faster, more secure, and easier, empowering individuals, small businesses, and merchants, and supporting the nation's shift towards a cashless economy. In October 2024, UPI set a new record by processing 16.58 billion transactions, totaling Rs 23.49 lakh crore. This marked a 45% year-on-year increase from 11.40 billion transactions in October 2023, according to Ministry of Finance data. With 632 banks connected to its platform, this surge underscores UPI's growing dominance in India's payment sector. UPI has greatly benefited small businesses, street vendors, and migrant workers by providing an efficient way to transfer money and receive payments. The system's adoption accelerated during the Covid-19 pandemic, as people sought safer, contactless alternatives to cash. UPI's success can be attributed not only to its robust infrastructure but also to a shift in consumer behavior. Trust in the system and its accessibility have played a crucial role in its widespread adoption. UPI’s expansion into France marks a significant milestone, as it is the first European country to adopt the system. This enables Indian consumers and businesses to make and receive payments seamlessly while abroad. Prime Minister Modi has actively advocated for UPI’s expansion within the BRICS group, now including six new members. This push is expected to strengthen remittance flows, promote financial inclusion, and enhance India's global financial standing. According to the ACI Worldwide Report 2024 cited by the Finance Ministry, India now accounts for approximately 49% of global real-time payment transactions as of 2023, reinforcing its leadership in digital payment innovation.Peter Dutton makes anti-Semitism election pitch, vows to create a taskforce to deport bigotsKing Charles' Home Reopens After Closing Due to 'Health and Safety Reasons'

With one of the most exciting AFL seasons done and dusted, it’s time to see how horribly wrong — or right — we were at the start of the year. Watch every ball of Australia v India LIVE & ad-break free during play in 4K on Kayo | New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. In January, we made a series of bold predictions for the 2024 season that, despite holding merit at the time, were still more likely to fail than succeed.Now it’s time to take a look back at which ones we got right and which ones were totally off the mark. BOLD PREDICTION: The Blues make the Grand Final VERDICT: Nope Carlton were one of the premiership favourites in pre-season, but their 2024 campaign was cruelled by injuries which meant they never really looked like featuring on the biggest stage of all. The Blues were bundled out in a hugely disappointing elimination final against eventual premiers Brisbane, conceding the first nine goals of the game. Twin towers Charlie Curnow and Harry McKay missed games through injury at the end of the season, while ruck Tom De Koning also missed a large chunk of the back end. Defenders Mitch McGovern, Adam Saad and Jordan Boyd all had disrupted seasons, while Adam Cerra, Zac Williams and Lachie Fogarty also spent some time on the sidelines. Overall, Carlton’s 2024 campaign was disappointing, but now all eyes turn towards whether or not they can bounce back in 2025. BOLD PREDICTION: Michael Voss wins Coach of the Year Award VERDICT: Nope There’s no doubt 2025 will be an intriguing year for the Blues, can Michael Voss find a way to get the most out of a talented group? Things were looking promising this time last year, but now the jury is out. The Blues arguably went backwards in 2024, but injuries certainly did play a part. Brisbane Lions premiership coach Chris Fagan won the award, while former Sydney coach John Longmire came runner-up. Hawthorn’s Sam Mitchell rounded out the podium after he lifted the Hawks from cellar dwellers to premiership contenders. While we don’t know the full breakdown, you’d imagine Geelong coach Chris Scott, Giants head honcho Adam Kingsley and Port Adelaide mastermind Ken Hinkley would all have finished higher than Voss. A huge 2025 looms. BOLD PREDICTION: Brodie Grundy returns to All-Australian form VERDICT: Almost... Brodie Grundy was a key contributor to Sydney’s successes in 2024, but he didn’t quite reach those All-Australian levels he has before. After a turbulent year at Melbourne, Grundy returned to the number one ruck role at Sydney and performed admirably. The star Swan averaged 18 disposals, five clearances and 4.7 tackles a game as he started to get back to some good form. Max Gawn earned a seventh All-Australian blazer, while breakout Roos ruck Tristan Xerri and Collingwood tall Darcy Cameron were the other rucks to make the All-Australian squad. St Kilda’s Rowan Marshall was also considered an unlucky omission. Grundy was probably in the next batch of talls, including Tim English and Toby Nankervis. A stronger season and an increased output than what Grundy has produced in the past couple of years, but not quite All-Australian calibre. BOLD PREDICTION: The Suns break into the top eight VERDICT: Not yet We can probably rinse and repeat this one for 2025. Surely, the Suns aren’t far off from featuring in September action. In their first season under new coach Damien Hardwick, the Suns finished 13th with a win-loss record of 11-12. It was a bizarre year for the Suns, who were a dominant force on their home decks at People First Stadium and TIO Stadium, but didn’t win a game on the road until round 22 against Essendon at Marvel. The club’s had a refresh and a rebrand and will be hoping that next year is the year they break through for their maiden finals appearance. Their talented youth will only get better with another pre-season under their belts, while the acquisitions of damaging half-backs Daniel Rioli and John Noble will add the rebound out of the back half that they struggled with so much. Is 2025 the year they finally break the drought? BOLD PREDICTION: Three teams will drop out of the top eight VERDICT: Correct We were spot on with this one and the numbers didn’t lie. It’s been two every year since the top eight began and the average is approximately 2.8 per season. BOLD PREDICTION: The Saints are one of them VERDICT: Correct As we predicted, there was a bit of a dip for the Saints in 2024. They had a focus on getting experience into their younger brigade and they also lost some games they probably should’ve won. The likes of Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, Darcy Wilson and Mitch Owens all had strong campaigns that resulted in top 10 finishes in the best and fairest, while Mattaes Phillipou had a strong end to the season as well. They’ve attacked the draft hard again this year, securing Gippsland Power high-flyer Alix Tauru and Bendigo Pioneers product Tobie Travaglia, who both look like players for the future. The Saints will be hoping to improve on their win-loss record of 11-12 and push back towards September action in 2025. BOLD PREDICTION: But Max King returns to top form VERDICT: Nope As promising as Max King is, injuries limited the key forward to just 12 games in 2024. The Sandringham Dragons product booted 19 goals for the year at an average of 1.6 per game which was well down on his previous two years where he averaged 2.4 and 2.5 goals a match. It was the worst year of King’s career if you exclude 2019 (ACL injury so no games) and his first year in 2020, according to the AFL Player Ratings system. There’s no doubt that when fit, King is one of the most promising key forwards in the competition. The Saints have shown tremendous faith in King, extending his contract until the end of the 2032 season, can he repay that faith? 2025 will be a big year. BOLD PREDICTION: The Power also drop out VERDICT: Nope Port Adelaide strung together another strong home and away season, finishing in second spot with a win-loss record of 16-7. It was the fourth time in five years that Ken Hinkley’s side have featured in September action, yet they haven’t gone on to reach the big dance on any of those occasions. Right now, it feels like they’re home and away experts and then crumble under the finals pressure. Our bold prediction questioned how their recruits would fare and it’s fair to say they didn’t exactly fire. Brandon Zerk-Thatcher is probably a tick as a defender, while Jordon Sweet assumed the number one ruck role by seasons end. Ivan Soldo sought a trade out of South Australia after just one year and Esava Ratugolea is on the fringes of the side heading into 2025. They’re so strong at home, so expect the Power to be around the mark of the top four again in 2025, but the challenge for them is progressing further through a finals campaign. BOLD PREDICTION: And the Josh Carr handover is made official VERDICT: Not yet Six months ago, it looked like Ken Hinkley’s job was on thin ice. They’d lost three consecutive matches to the Blues, Giants and Lions but they went on to win eight of their last nine in a scintillating end to the season. Post-match after the gritty win over St Kilda, Ken Hinkley was emotional in an on-field interview with Fox Footy’s Sarah Jones, highlighting how much he loved the playing group and how much the playing group loved him. The Power were thumped in a qualifying final by Geelong but bounced back in the semi against Hawthorn, before going down to the Swans in a preliminary final. Hinkley still remains in the hot seat, but there’s a sense amongst the competition that Josh Carr will inherit that throne sooner rather than later. Hinkley is yet to reach a grand final during his time as senior coach, a role he has held for 12 years. Carr has been a part of the Power footy program for several years and the club could execute a handover similar to that at the Swans, where Dean Cox took over from John Longmire. It feels inevitable that Carr takes over, but don’t rule out the Power making a bold play and trying to poach someone if Hinkley does step aside some time in 2025. BOLD PREDICTION: The Crows take their spot VERDICT: Not even close Adelaide were one of the biggest disappointments in 2024, if not the biggest disappointment. After finishing 10th with a win-loss record of 11-12 in 2023, there were high hopes that the Crows could return to September action for the first time since 2017. While it was overall a poor season, there were a few shining lights for Matthew Nicks’ side. Midfielder Jake Soligio showed positive signs of growth, while exciting youngster Max Michalanney is going to become a serious player. Izak Rankine played some good footy and Ben Keays was joint winner of the Best and Fairest alongside captain Jordan Dawson. Draftee Sid Draper has been tearing up the training track and is on target to feature in round one, while the likes of Riley Thilthorpe, Josh Rachele and Dan Curtin should only get better with another pre-season under their belts. At the end of the day though, the Crows weren’t as good as they could’ve been in 2024, given the talent at their disposal. BOLD PREDICTION: And Jordan Dawson finishes in the top three of the Brownlow Medal count VERDICT: Also no Let’s be honest, this one was pretty bold! Dawson finished equal 16th in this year’s Brownlow Medal count, polling 18 votes, two less than last year, where he finished 13th (including ineligible players). Dawson did not poll a vote in his first five games and just one in his final six, so it was the middle part of the year where he did his best work. His inconsistent campaign was a bit reflective of Adelaide’s season as a whole. Playing mainly through the midfield, the former Swan averaged 24.5 disposals, five marks and 6.1 tackles. The Crows skipper will no doubt have a huge pre-season to try and give himself the best chance of leading the Crows to their first finals campaign since 2017 and return to some of the best form of his career. BOLD PREDICTION: Dustin Martin finishes in the top five VERDICT: Nope There was clearly a bit of nostalgia behind this one and let’s be honest, it wasn’t even close to being correct. Martin polled just one Brownlow Medal vote this year for his performance in round 11 against Essendon, where he amassed 23 disposals and three goals. Injury and then retirement meant he played just one match of the last eight of the season and he had clearly lost his edge that will see him go down as one of the greats. A superb career and one we were so lucky to be able to witness. BOLD PREDICTION: Then moves to the Gold Coast VERDICT: Still, no Wow, wasn’t this one bubbling away for some time! There were murmurings of Dusty reuniting with former coach Damien Hardwick up at the Suns, but nothing materialised and he is happily retired. He is the only three-time Norm Smith Medallist, a triple premiership player, four time All-Australian and 2017 Brownlow Medallist. He’ll go down as one of the greatest ever Tigers and a true champion of the game. BOLD PREDICTION: The Dogs come in VERDICT: Yes! The Bulldogs made the finals yet again after narrowly missing out in 2023, which was a step in the right direction. The Bulldogs are one of the biggest mysteries in the competition right now. Their list is incredibly talented, and their best football is electric, but they struggle to piece it all together for a prolonged period of time. The club continues to back in premiership coach Luke Beveridge who never backs down from a challenge and will be looking to press towards a top four berth in 2025. Their youth is exciting, but it is important that they capitalise while the likes of Marcus Bontempelli and Adam Treloar are in career-best form. BOLD PREDICTION: But the Cats miss out again VERDICT: Nope Year after year, the Cats continue to prove the footy world wrong. Chris Scott’s side made it all the way to a preliminary final in 2024, falling just short to eventual premiers Brisbane. The Cats have featured in September every year bar three since 2004. That is an absurd period of time to be featuring at the pointy end of the season. The scary thing is, you’d imagine the Cats only get better in 2025. The recruitment of former Bulldog Bailey Smith will bolster their midfield stocks dramatically, while if they can get ex-Blue Jack Martin fit, that could be a bargain. It would take a brave person to write them off again. BOLD PREDICTION: The Hawks just miss out VERDICT: Not quite Can we give this one a tick? We predicted the Hawks would surge up the ladder this year, just not all the way to a semi-final. No one saw that coming, especially after their poor start where they sat 0-5 and then 1-6. The evolution of ‘Hokball’ has been a joy to watch this season. Sam Mitchell’s side have played with plenty of dash and dare and they’ve had the celebrations to match. The scary thing? They could be even better in 2025 and are genuine premiership contenders. The core of their list is still young and will only improve, while the additions of Tom Barrass and Josh Battle will further bolster their defensive stocks. The sky is the limit for these young Hawks. BOLD PREDICTION: And Jack Ginnivan thrives VERDICT: We’ll pay this one! A move to Hawthorn under Sam Mitchell has resulted in Jack Ginnivan playing the best footy of his career. Ginnivan averaged 16.5 disposals, 3.9 marks and 2.7 tackles a game this year, booting 28 goals. He’s become an integral part of one of the best forward lines in the competition and loves to get under the skins of his opponents. He’s become an absolute fan favourite amongst the brown and gold faithful and will be key in Hawthorn’s quest for success. It’s fair to say, he’s put a messy exit from Collingwood behind him and is absolutely thriving. BOLD PREDICTION: Fremantle remains stranded outside the top eight VERDICT: Bang on We were spot on with this one, the Dockers missing out on the top eight by just two premiership points. It went down to the last game of the season, if they had been able to defeat Port Adelaide on their home deck, then they would’ve squeezed Carlton out. The general consensus right now though is that the Dockers could be the biggest risers of 2025. They’ve added former Tiger Shai Bolton to their weaponry, while young gun Murphy Reid could make an impact early on in the year, too. Fremantle have stars across every single line. In defence, Luke Ryan, Jordan Clark and Alex Pearce have been super, while the on-ball brigade of Andrew Brayshaw, Caleb Serong and Hayden Young genuinely could be the best in the competition. Their forward half improved as Josh Treacy and Jye Amiss took big strides forward and the ruck duo of Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson gives them great flexibility. It’s exciting what they could produce next year. BOLD PREDICTION: And Justin Longmuir goes VERDICT: Nope Justin Longmuir signed a one-year extension in March, tying him to the Dockers until the end of 2025. There’s no doubt that the pressure will be on Longmuir next year to try and get the best out of his side, because they are just so talented. It’s never easy entering the final year of your contract, but his future really is in his hands. A strong season will surely see him recontracted, but if the Dockers can’t feature in September, the heat will well and truly be on. BOLD PREDICTION: Finn Callaghan jumps into the All-Australian side VERDICT: Nope This was another pretty bold call, but one that didn’t eventuate. Giants youngster Finn Callaghan had a strong year but it definitely wasn’t All-Australian calibre. Callaghan took a small step forward from his 2023 campaign, lifting his disposals average (22.9), tackles (3.6) and clearances (3.4) and will be an exciting player to track in the years to come. He is clean with ball in hand, smooth-moving in traffic and has plenty of drive out of stoppage. He also managed to finally get some continuity with his body, playing 24 games for the year. Intriguingly, Callaghan did not finish in the top 10 in the club best and fairest. BOLD PREDICTION: And Jamarra Ugle-Hagan does too VERDICT: Nope A strong season for Jamarra Ugle-Hagan, but not All-Australian worthy. The former number one draft pick booted a career-high 43 goals this season and continued his steady increase year-on-year. Alongside Aaron Naughton and Sam Darcy, the Bulldogs have a three-pronged attack that is the envy of the competition. He improved his consistency this year, kicking at least one goal in 19 out of 22 appearances this season. At his best, Ugle-Hagan is flying for his marks and kicking miraculous goals. Should he continue his upwards trajectory, hitting that 50-goal mark for the first time in his career won’t be out of the question in 2025. BOLD PREDICTION: With one club offering him a 10-year contract VERDICT: We’ll pay it! We’re going to claim this one! According to the Herald Sun’s Jon Ralph, clubs were offering “lifetime deals” to Ugle-Hagan early in the season to try and lure him out of the Kennel. Ralph reported that deals “as much as 11 or 12 years” were tabled to Ugle-Hagan, but ultimately, he decided to re-sign with the Dogs. The star forward put pen to paper on a two-year contract extension in May, tying him to the club until the end of 2026. Keep an eye on what he can produce next year. BOLD PREDICTION: The grand final start time stays put VERDICT: Correct The AFL decider indeed remained in its traditional afternoon slot. Instead, the AFLW grand final had its start time moved to the evening. But, while we correctly predicted nothing would change in Andrew Dillon’s first season in charge, we did tease that an eventual tweak might be ‘inevitable’ — and that might too be the case, given the success of the night grand final in the women’s competition. “A night grand final is pretty special ... Maybe we might see it in the men’s, who knows? ... Maybe not!” said victorious North Melbourne AFLW skipper Emma Kearney post-GF. BOLD PREDICTON: Any issues with the score review system will be a thing of the past VERDICT: Tongue in cheek Admittedly this one was tongue in cheek, but the spotlight once again was on the score review system in 2024. At the start of the year, the system was being used too often and for too long and then there’s the AFLW score review system, which had a few kinks in it to begin with. An error with the new ball tracking technology in the Suns and Pies clash incorrectly recorded that the ball was touched, when the video clearly showed the ball had not been touched. The Suns went on to lose that game and the AFL issued a statement afterwards apologising for the mistake.

In the United States, financial success is often seen as the ultimate achievement, but how much do you actually need to earn to reach that milestone? According to a recent survey by Empower, the number may surprise you. To be considered financially successful in the U.S., an annual salary of $270,000 is often the benchmark, along with a net worth of $5.3 million. For most Americans, these numbers are far out of reach. In 2023, the average salary in the U.S. was about $67,000, as reported by the Social Security Administration. Furthermore, the mean 401(k) balance at Fidelity Investments this year stood at just $127,100. With homeownership often cited as a major factor in building wealth, many Americans still struggle with housing affordability, preventing them from reaching these lofty financial goals. Despite these staggering figures, fewer than four in 10 people consider themselves financially successful. According to the survey, nearly half of respondents (47%) don’t believe they will ever reach the financial success they aspire to. The biggest obstacles to achieving success were identified as: Interestingly, not everyone ties their sense of success to a specific monetary figure. 43% of survey respondents said they didn’t feel that success was defined by a set amount of money. For many, the most important measure of success is happiness, which was identified by nearly six in 10 participants as the key to a fulfilling life. The survey defined happiness as “being able to spend money on the things and experiences that bring the most joy.” In addition to happiness, other significant measures of success included: While many Americans prioritize happiness and wellness over a high salary, the financial realities often make it difficult to achieve these goals. The survey reveals a disconnect between the financial ideal and the lived reality for many, with rising living costs and stagnant wages contributing to a sense of economic insecurity. While earning $270,000 and having a net worth of $5.3 million may seem like the ultimate sign of success in the U.S., a significant portion of the population is redefining what it means to be successful. For many, happiness, health, and personal fulfillment now outweigh a specific salary number. However, addressing the financial barriers that many face, such as economic instability and insufficient income, will be crucial to helping more people achieve both financial and personal success.Drone Mystery Grows As Flying Object Sightings Continue In New Jersey, Other StatesHyderabad : As the Congress government in Telangana completed one year in office, a wave of discontent has emerged among its Muslim cadre and the larger Muslim community. Despite the party’s promises of inclusivity, the absence of Muslim representation in the state Cabinet has sparked frustration, leading to the formation of the Telangana Congress Muslim Forum (TCMF). This newly established body, headed by M.A. Basith is determined to press the Congress leadership for equitable representation and justice for the minority community. For the first time in Telangana’s history, the Muslim community finds itself entirely excluded from the state Cabinet and key administrative posts. Thirteen months into the Congress-led government, former Minister Mohammed Ali Shabbir remains the sole visible Muslim figure in the administration, serving as the Adviser to the Government on Minority Affairs. The glaring lack of representation has not only alienated the community but also cast doubts on the Congress party’s commitment to its minority voters. Speaking on the issue, Basith expressed the TCMF’s deep disappointment. “The absence of Muslim ministers or significant appointments in government departments is unacceptable. It goes against the principles of inclusivity and secularism that the Congress party claims to uphold,” he said. In response to this marginalization, a group of Muslim Congress leaders who were upset with the state of affairs convened to form the TCMF. Their objective is to represent the community’s demands and ensure that Muslims have a stake in governance. At a recent meeting at Gandhi Bhavan, the party’s headquarters, TCMF members resolved to escalate their demands to the party’s High Command and state leadership. “Chief Minister, A. Revanth Reddy, himself stated that he admired a fighting spirit, and therefore, we believe there is nothing wrong in demanding our rightful share,” Basith said. Key among their demands is the inclusion of two Muslim leaders in the Cabinet, one of whom should hail from Hyderabad. “Hyderabad has always been a hub of Muslim leadership, and neglecting its representation is a betrayal of the community,” said Basith, who is also an AICC member. The TCMF has called for a package for minorities and proposed a series of measures to ensure fair representation. These include: 1. Three MLC seats: The Forum has demanded that two of these be reserved for Sunni leaders and one for the Shia community. 2. Minority chairperson: The vacant post of Minority Chairperson of the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) should be filled immediately, with the appointee being an educated and capable individual. 3. Government Boards and Corporations: The TCMF seeks adequate representation for Muslims in various Boards and Corporations, emphasizing the need for appointments at higher levels, such as party heads of different zones of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). 4. Cabinet Rank for Hyderabad leader: The forum insists on granting a Cabinet rank to a Hyderabad-born Muslim leader, recognizing the city’s significance and its Muslim population. To further its cause, the TCMF plans to launch various initiatives aimed at strengthening the community and fostering inclusivity. Among these are the establishment of a Muslim Clerics Advisory Block, a Muslim Society Block, and a Research Block. These units will provide expert guidance on community issues and propose actionable policies to the government. “We aim to eliminate polarization between communities and build a spirit of togetherness,” Basith stated, emphasizing the forum’s broader vision of social harmony. The TCMF also sought a significant boost to the promotion of the Urdu language, emphasizing its cultural and historical importance. Additionally, it demanded that Muslim Congress leaders be given appropriate representation and prominence during all public events organized by the party. While the TCMF hopes to resolve the matter through dialogue and negotiations, it has not ruled out the possibility of resorting to Gandhian-style Satyagraha. This protest, if undertaken, would serve as a reminder of the Congress party’s historical roots in the freedom movement and its obligation to uphold justice and equality. The demands of the TCMF pose a challenge for the Congress government in Telangana. With the state’s Muslim community playing a crucial role in elections, ignoring their grievances could have long-term political repercussions. On the other hand, addressing the TCMF’s demands could help rebuild trust and reinforce the party’s secular credentials. As the TCMF prepares to intensify its efforts, the onus lies on the Congress leadership to demonstrate its commitment to diversity and fair representation. For the Muslim community in Telangana, the coming months will determine whether their voices are heard or if they remain sidelined in the political landscape.rsity and fair representation. For the Muslim community in Telangana, the coming months will determine whether their voices are heard or if they remain sidelined in the political landscape.
