Thanks for the feedback.In Formula 1, sleep is a precious commodity. The global series' 24-race calendar spans 21 countries across five continents. Teams travel from China to Miami to Italy over the course of just a few weeks — making jet lag a constant problem throughout the season. It's such a concern that many teams employ doctors and coaches dedicated to helping drivers adjust quickly to different time zones. "In the case of Formula 1 drivers, sleep is right up there as one of the main things we can control to put them in the best place possible to perform," , a senior performance coach with the Alpine F1 Team, said. "It's a thing we prioritize very highly. Being exposed to jet lag, we can manipulate it so we're ahead of the curve." Even now, as the 2024 season heads into the home stretch, Clark is preparing for next year, looking up available flights for the team and mapping out calendars to see how early his drivers can make it out to a race based on other team responsibilities. "Drivers have a great many commitments, so we can't always prioritize sleep and jet lag above all else," he said. "But we start planning right away so we have the best options available to negate jet lag and put the athletes in the best position." Monitoring light and 'zeitgeber' When it comes to fighting jet lag, Clark said, there's one main factor to consider: exposure to light. "Light from the sun and light from electronic devices, and the absence of light — if we can manipulate those things in accordance to where we're trying to travel, we'll be able to shift the body clock closer to that given time zone," he said. As an example, Clark points to Esteban Ocon, the Alpine driver with whom he works most closely. In preparation for heading to this week — about a nine-hour time shift from Ocon's home in Switzerland — Clark began shifting the driver's bedtime and wake-up time later and later last week. "We also look at his timing to light exposure, which we try to replicate to the time zone he's traveling to," Clark said. "From a basic first principle, that's what we do fundamentally to thrive in the new environment." Additionally, Clark closely monitors Ocon's "zeitgeber" — a German word for external circadian time cues that contribute to the body's clock. This includes physical activity and fitness, socializing, and eating. "All of those have an influence on moving the body clock closer" to the new time zone, Clark said, adding: "But it's light that is the most influential, so that's what we prioritize the greatest." 'Las Vegas is the nastiest one of the season' Plane travel is another factor. When traveling west, Clark wants his drivers to take daytime flights so that they stay awake. When flying east, he encourages them to sleep on flights — particularly when the series heads to Australia, which entails about a 24-hour door-to-door travel period. With Formula 1 heading to Las Vegas this weekend to kick off the final triple-header of the season, Clark said the battle against jet lag would be particularly important. "Las Vegas is the nastiest one of the season," he said, adding that because the race happens so late — the Grand Prix begins about 10 p.m. local time — drivers have to modify their sleep schedules so that they essentially become nocturnal, sleeping during most of the day. "If you're like Esteban and you get a huge amount of sleep, he effectively will sleep the entire daylight hours of Las Vegas — which actually might be quite a normal thing for most Vegas visitors and tourists," Clark said with a laugh. "It's a bit of a weird way to live, but it's a necessity to cash in on the sleep opportunities that we have. We use other means to help with what we lose from not seeing the sun, like vitamin D supplements. We'll have to contend with that during the week." Once the Las Vegas Grand Prix ends, the series immediately shifts to Qatar, meaning every team member once again has to rapidly adjust their body clocks. "Effectively, you're doing a full circulation of the globe in time zones in the space of just a couple of weeks," Clark said. Last year, when Las Vegas was also part of a triple-header, many people discovered they could "continually be in a state of sleep deprivation and poor quality of sleep if you don't prioritize it," he added. Clark began working with Alpine in 2018 in a performance role and said he viewed battling jet lag as an "elephant in the room" when it came to race prep. "We were doing everything we could from a training, nutrition, and recovery standpoint, but when it came to sleep, there wasn't much in place," he said. "That's where my appetite came from to pursue and understand jet lag more." Most Formula 1 teams, he said, now task their performance coaches and doctors with monitoring drivers' sleep patterns and adjusting them to new time zones. Outside Formula 1, Clark is pursuing doctoral work on jet lag — a topic that, he said, is not studied extensively in academic literature. "Jet lag itself is a hard thing to research and understand just by the nature of it," he said. "You can study it in a lab environment, but you can't replicate getting on a plane, the large amount of time in the air, all the stresses you go through at the airport, and arriving in a widely different culture and environment." That makes Formula 1 an ideal industry in which to conduct this research, with the sport featuring perhaps the most condensed global travel of any other sport series. "I've been working within the Formula 1 population and yes, it's not the easiest thing to fit in around my day job," Clark said, laughing. "But it's fascinating, and I'm enjoying it very much."

The 28-20 loss to NIU in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl on Monday was a disappointing end to what some believed would be a conference championship season. Adding insult to injury, on the same day as the bowl loss, junior quarterback Mikey Keene committed to Michigan. Shortly afterward, running back Malik Sherrod announced on social media that he’d head to hated Mountain West and future Pac-12 rival Boise State for his final year of eligibility. Sherrod, in a Broncos Uniform, wrote on : “Ain’t got to like it or respect it, but you gone watch it.” In his Bulldog career (2020-2024) he rushed for 1,358 yards and 11 touchdowns. However, the 2024 preseason All-MW selection was plagued with injuries throughout his time at Fresno State. Hamilton and Freeman Stay Put Unlike Sherrod, junior cornerback Alzillion Hamilton and wide receiver Josiah Freeman withdrew from the portal and will remain at Fresno State. Hamilton played in the Potato Bowl and . Entz is building a foundation as the Bulldogs head into the Pac-12 in 2026. Joining the 10 incoming freshman is Clovis East’s Harold Duvall. Another three-star recruit, the wide receiver helped the Timberwolves achieve a 12-1 record in 2024 with 1,320 all-purpose yards. Related Story: Skipper Thanks the Red Wave Despite Monday’s loss and a 6-7 season record, interim head coach Tim Skipper praised The Red Wave for the opportunity to be the man in charge — even if it was just for a year. Skipper posted on : “It has been an honor to lead the program this season. This place is special because of the people. I want the thank the players and staff, the donors and alumni, and the Red Wave for their support.” Head Coach Matt Entz Adds OL Coach from USC While players are moving out, new head coach Matt Entz is on the search for new players and coaches. Entz hired Zach Crabtree as the new offensive line coach to replace Matt Smith on Friday. He, too, comes from USC, where Entz was the linebackers coach. Smith spent three seasons as the assistant o-line coach and a graduate assistant for the Trojans. This will be his first time as the head position coach. Crabtree made coaching stops at Oklahoma State (2021), the alma mater where he played as a lineman (2013-2017). His introduction to collegiate coaching began at Baylor (2019-2020). He played professionally for the Los Angeles Chargers (2017-18), but a knee injury forced him to retire. His pedigree can give the new line a boost since that unit struggled this past campaign due to injuries. Their eight different starting rotations were the second-most among FBS programs in 2024. Related Story: Transfer Portal Brings New Talent to Fresno State Reinforcements are coming. It was announced Tuesday that another Trojan is heading to the Valley — redshirt senior offensive lineman Gino Quinones. The 6’3, 302-pounder appeared in 19 games at USC (2019-2024) while battling injuries. Joining him on the line of scrimmage is sophomore Kyson Van Vugt, a tight end from Iowa. He’ll put his hand on the ground in a permanent three-point stance when he becomes a Bulldog. In his Hawkeye career (2022-2024) he didn’t get any playing time, which makes him a healthy addition. Fresno also welcomed graduate Jadon Pearson (linebacker) and junior Simeon Harris (defensive back) from conference rival Utah State as the first transfer portal signees of the Entz era. They can fill voids at the linebacker and secondary positions. Both players have Valley connections. Having played for Air Force (2020) originally, Pearson then played at Reedley College (2021) before he became an Aggie (2022-2024). This past season he recorded 42 tackles. Harris started out at Colorado (2022) before playing for two years in Logan. He played in only three games in 2024 and was able to redshirt. In 2023 he accumulated 59 tackles (31 solo, 28 assist), four pass breakups, one interception and one fumble recovery. His mother, Kelly, is a former Fresno State cheerleader.

The Red Sox’ most notable free agent signing of the winter — at least to this point — is now official, and it comes with some contract language that had previously gone unreported. Boston announced its one-year deal with starter Walker Buehler on Saturday, confirming an agreement that first surfaced Monday. The deal is effectively a one-year, $21.05 million contract, as was previously reported, but includes a slightly more complicated structure. According to an industry source, Buehler will receive a $3.05 million signing bonus and $15 million base salary in 2025 . His deal also includes a mutual option for 2026 valued at $25 million with a $3 million buyout. Mutual options are never exercised and serve as a way for teams to kick some cash payments down the road. So Buehler will receive that buyout in a form of $3 million in 2026. Buehler’s hit against the competitive balance tax (CBT) threshold is $21.05 million (the total of the signing bonus, base salary and buyout). But it could go up based on performance bonuses. According to a source, Buehler, who returned last season after a two-year absence due to Tommy John surgery can earn up to $2.5 million in additional money based on how many games he starts. He will be paid an additional $500,000 if he reaches 20 starts and another $500,000 for every two starts after that, up to his 28th (22, 24, 26 and 28 starts). With the announcement, the Red Sox’ 40-man roster is now full again. Boston executed two minor trades ( Cam Booser to the White Sox and Mickey Gasper to the Twins ) to clear spots for new signees Buehler and Patrick Sandoval. The Red Sox have now added five pitchers — Buehler, Aroldis Chapman, Garrett Crochet, Sandoval and Justin Wilson — via free agency or trade so far this winter. Backup catcher Carlos Narvaez , acquired from the Yankees in a trade, is the only position player addition so far. Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow will address the media about the Buehler signing Monday at 1 p.m. ET. There are no plans for an in-person press conference to introduce Buehler. Buehler made an interesting choice when it comes to his uniform number, choosing No. 0 . He wore No. 21 throughout his time with the Dodgers (since his first full season in 2018) but that number has not been issued to a Red Sox player since Roger Clemens left the organization following the 1996 season. Boston has never formally retired No. 21 but it’s unofficially off-limits. Only two players have ever worn No. 0 for the Red Sox and both instances have come in the last decade. Infielder Brandon Phillips was the first to ever wear it during his late-season cameo in 2018 and reliever Adam Ottavino wore it in 2021. Here’s the current Red Sox 40-man roster: Pitchers (25): Brayan Bello, Brennan Bernardino, Walker Buehler, Aroldis Chapman, Kutter Crawford, Cooper Criswell, Garrett Crochet, Hunter Dobbins, Richard Fitts, Lucas Giolito, Luis Guerrero, Liam Hendriks, Tanner Houck, Zack Kelly, Chris Murphy, Zach Penrod, Luis Perales, Quinn Priester, Patrick Sandoval, Chase Shugart, Justin Slaten, Greg Weissert, Garrett Whitlock, Justin Wilson, Josh Winckowski Catchers (2): Carlos Narvaez, Connor Wong Infielders (5): Triston Casas, Rafael Devers, Vaughn Grissom, David Hamilton, Trevor Story Outfielders (5): Wilyer Abreu, Jarren Duran, Jhostynxon Garcia, Rob Refsnyder, Masataka Yoshida Infielder/Outfielders (3): Romy Gonzalez, Ceddanne Rafaela, Nick Sogard More Red Sox coverage

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Monday that it finalized the rule, which also requires enhanced warnings when front seat belts aren't fastened. The agency estimates that the new rule will save 50 lives per year and prevent 500 injuries when fully in effect, according to a statement. The new rule will apply to passenger cars, trucks, buses except for school buses, and multipurpose vehicles weighing up to 10,000 pounds. Before the rule, seat belt warnings were required only for the driver's seat. Under the new rule, outboard front-seat passengers also must get a warning if they don't fasten their belts. Front-center seats will not get a warning because NHTSA found that it wouldn't be cost effective. The agency said most vehicles already have warnings for the outboard passenger seats. The rule also lengthens the duration of audio and visual warnings for the driver's seat. The front-seat rules are effective starting Sept. 1 of 2026. Rear passengers consistently use seat belts at a lower rate than front passengers, the agency says. In 2022, front belt use was just under 92%, while rear use dropped to about 82%. About half of automobile passengers who died in crashes two years ago weren’t wearing belts, according to NHTSA data. The seat belt rule is the second significant regulation to come from NHTSA in the past two months. In November the agency bolstered its five-star auto safety ratings to include driver assistance technologies and pedestrian protection. Safety advocates want the Department of Transportation, which includes NHTSA, to finish several more rules before the end of the Biden administration, because President-elect Donald Trump has said he’s against new government regulations. Cathy Chase, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, urged the department to approve automatic emergency braking for heavy trucks and technology to prevent impaired driving.

NoneDaily Post Nigeria EPL: Amorim considers Osimhen transfer Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport Sport EPL: Amorim considers Osimhen transfer Published on December 24, 2024 By Ifreke Inyang Manchester United are considering a move for Victor Osimhen, as Marcus Rashford appears set to leave Old Trafford in January. Rashford has fallen out of favour under manager Ruben Amorim in recent weeks. The 27-year-old forward has been excluded from Amorim’s matchday squad for three consecutive games. Rashford has already expressed his readiness to pursue a new challenge in his career. According to Sky Sports, United have shown interest in signing Napoli loanee and Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen. Rashford’s potential departure could pave the way for the arrival of the Nigerian forward. Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray on loan this summer, is in scintillating form, having scored 12 goals in 15 appearances, including nine in the Turkish Super Lig.

Diogo Jota is closing in on return for Liverpool after taking part in training ahead of the Merseyside derby against Everton . The Portugal international has been sidelined since mid-October after suffering a rib injury during the Reds’ 2-1 win over Chelsea . As a result, he’s missed the last 10 games in a row across all competitions - watching on from the sidelines as Liverpool recorded statement wins against the likes of Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen . Though, Jota is expected to be available for selection imminently, he is likely to sit out the Everton game after an update from Reds head coach Arne Slot, who will also be without the suspended Alexis Mac Allister for the short trip to Goodison Park . “[The midfield line] is not our main worry at the moment, our main worry is if you look at how close they are all back of [having] playing time, there’s only three injuries left and that’s in our last line,” the Dutchman said in the pre-match press conference . “With Diogo being close to being back, Federico being close to being back, and the same for Alisson. “That means only Ibou [Konate], Conor [Bradley] and Kostas [Tsimikas] are a bit further away from playing time.” Interestingly, Liverpool have uploaded footage from of the squad’s preparations for the Everton clash at their AXA Training Centre base to their official website and social media , and it may have revealed just how close Jota is to being back. The 28-year-old was heavily involved in the session, even joining the likes of Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Darwin Nunez as the session moved outside. So whilst Jota is unlikely to be included in Liverpool’s matchday squad against Everton, the training footage coupled with Slot’s update suggest it won’t be too long before he returns with next week’s Champions League clash in Girona a possible target.Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Microsoft 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today
