NoneCoote was sacked earlier this month after the emergence of a video in which he made derogatory remarks about Liverpool and their former manager Jurgen Klopp. Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) said that a thorough investigation had concluded he was “in serious breach of the provisions of his employment contract, with his position deemed untenable”. “Supporting David Coote continues to be important to us and we remain committed to his welfare,” PGMOL’s statement on December 9 added. Coote had the right to appeal against the decision but PA understands the Nottinghamshire referee has decided not to. The video which triggered PGMOL’s investigation into Coote’s conduct first came to public attention on November 11. In it, Coote is asked for his views on a Liverpool match where he has just been fourth official, and describes them as “s***”. He then describes Klopp as a “c***”, and, asked why he felt that way, Coote says the German had “a right pop at me when I reffed them against Burnley in lockdown” and had accused him of lying. “I have got no interest in speaking to someone who’s f****** arrogant, so I do my best not to speak to him,” Coote said. Later in the video, Coote again refers to Klopp, this time as a “German c***”. The Football Association opened its own investigation into that video, understood to be centred on that last comment and whether Coote’s reference to Klopp’s nationality constituted an aggravated breach of its misconduct rules. The investigation by PGMOL which led to Coote’s contract being terminated is also understood to have looked at another video which appeared to show Coote snorting a white powder, purportedly during Euro 2024 where he was one of the assistant VARs for the tournament. European football’s governing body UEFA also appointed an ethics investigator to look into the matter.

The signs of Man City’s alarming decline were there for all to seeNone
S&P/TSX composite up almost 150 at closing, U.S. markets also higherNo. 9 Kentucky, focused on getting better, welcomes Jackson St.In the annals of retail history, few phenomena have captured the imagination quite like Cyber Monday. Born in the early days of eCommerce, Cyber Monday has evolved into Cyber Week and quickly outgrew its Black Friday cousin, which is starting to look positively archaic in a world where the experience economy is king and the customer experience is queen. Take a look at its history and you can see how it has evolved from a humble marketing ploy to a global spending spree that has made even the most cynical Wall Street traders raise an eyebrow. Here’s how it started. Picture this: It’s 2005, and the National Retail Federation (NRF) is scratching its collective head, wondering how to get a piece of that Thanksgiving weekend Black Friday-centric action for online retailers . Black Friday was already a thing, but what about those newfangled internet shops? Enter Ellen Davis, a young NRF PR whiz, who coined the term “Cyber Monday.” Little did she know she was about to create a monster — a benevolent, discount-dealing monster, but a monster nonetheless. Why Monday, you ask? Well, back in the dark ages of the early 2000s, not everyone had high-speed internet at home. Shocking in hindsight. So, the idea was, people would return to work on Monday, fire up their lightning-fast office computers (probably running Windows XP), and shop till they dropped — or at least until the boss walked by. The New York Times , in all its infinite wisdom, initially pooh-poohed the idea, hoping it wouldn’t catch on. Spoiler alert: it did. By 2010, Cyber Monday sales had already broken the billion-dollar barrier. Take that, Gray Lady! As the years rolled by, Cyber Monday grew faster than a tech startup’s valuation. By 2019, it was raking in a cool $9.4 billion . But wait, there’s more! The pandemic hit, and suddenly everyone was shopping online like it was going out of style. In 2022, Cyber Monday sales topped a whopping $11 billion. That’s a lot of discounted socks and gadgets. From Monday to Madness What started as a single day of deals has now morphed into a week-long extravaganza. Retailers, not content with just 24 hours of frenzied purchasing, extended their sales into what’s now known as “Cyber Week.” Because why have one day of impulse buying when you can have seven? So, in the red corner, we have Black Friday. In the blue corner, Cyber Monday. Who will win this retail rumble? Well, in 2021, 2022 and 2023, Cyber Monday came out swinging, beating Black Friday’s sales by a significant margin. In 2023, Cyber Monday flexed its digital muscles with $12.4 billion in sales, outpacing Black Friday by $2.6 billion. That’s like finding an extra billion in the retail industry’s couch cushions — three times over. As we look to the future, one thing is clear: Cyber Monday isn’t going anywhere. Projections for 2024 suggest we’ll see a staggering $13.2 billion in sales. And what can we expect from Cyber Monday 2024? Well, if you’re in the market for Bluetooth headphones, the latest “Call of Duty” game, or a Bluey Ultimate Lights and Sound Playhouse (don’t ask, just buy), you’re in luck. And if you’re wondering about discounts, electronics are expected to see cuts of up to 30%, while apparel will likely be marked down by 23%. Time to stock up on those designer sweatpants you’ve been eyeing! As we raise a glass (or a mouse) to Cyber Monday, let’s remember its humble beginnings. From dial-up dreams to digital dollars, it’s a testament to our collective love of a good deal — and our ability to shop productively while looking busy at work. Here’s to you, Cyber Monday. May your servers stay strong and your discounts stay deep.
Archaeologists believe they’ve found the São Jorge , the famed sunken ship from Vasco da Gama’s final voyage, off the coast of Kenya. The remains of a shipwreck, first spotted on a coral reef between 2013 and 2016, sparked an investigation. Now, researchers have published a new paper in the Journal of Maritime Archaeology detailing their analysis of artifacts recovered by the local community and timbers from the ship’s hull and frame that they excavated themselves. Despite the challenges posed by the shipwreck’s condition and location, evidence suggests this Portuguese vessel sank over 500 years ago. Identifying a long-lost Portuguese vessel from the 16th century Earlier this year, nautical archaeologist Filipe Castro announced the discovery of a galleon from Vasco da Gama’s third armada in shallow waters off the coast of Malindi, Kenya. While the vessel’s identity remains unconfirmed, it is potentially one of eight known Portuguese shipwrecks from that period found in the area. An international team of archaeologists from the University of Coimbra, the National Museum of Kenya, and the Bergen Maritime Museum have narrowed the possibilities down to the São Jorge or the Nossa Senhora da Graça. “The provisional dates of the artifacts,” such as elephant tusks and copper ingots, “point to a shipwreck on the outward journey to India and a shipwreck date in the first quarter of the sixteenth century .” Castro told Live Science that if the wreckage does belong to the São Jorge, “it may be one of the earliest European shipwrecks in the Indian Ocean.” Furthermore, the “treasure,” though wrecked, would have “significant historical and symbolic value as a physical testimony to the presence of Vasco da Gama’s third armada in Kenyan waters.” “It’s not every day that you get to be part of something timeless, standing at the edge of history and peering into the depths of our shared past,” wrote Faith Milgo, who attended the media launch for the ship in Kenya . “Laden with ivory, copper, and cinnabar, it represented the bustling commerce of a bygone era.” Could it be the São Jorge? The São Jorge carries immense historical significance. Vasco da Gama was the first European to sail around the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa in 1497, forever etching his name in history books by linking Europe and Asia via the ocean route. His final voyage to India in 1524, with a fleet of 20 ships, adds to the potential importance of this discovery, especially given the scarcity of surviving Portuguese maritime vessels from this period. According to The Independent , Portuguese shipbuilding in 1513 focused on vessels with dual sailing and war capabilities. These ships, equipped with artillery around their three to four masts, could attack in any direction, a feature the São Jorge likely possessed. These details may help archaeologists definitively identify the ship and highlight the innovative maritime technology of the Portuguese during this period. Researchers are currently surveying 15 miles of the coral reef to solve this maritime mystery. If the wreck proves to be the São Jorge, lost in 1524, its discovery would be, as described by the study authors, “archaeologist stardust”—pure magic.
