Albany (NY) 93, Tarzans 50Ventive Hospitality Share Price Live Updates: Stock to list on BSE, NSE today; GMP, experts signal positive debutIBADAN – Tragedy struck the Senior Special Assistant to The Executive Governor of Oyo state, Engr Seyi Makinde on Community Relations (Igbo Community) Hon. Tallest Innocent as goods worth millions of Naira was destroyed when his wholesales distribution center was engulfed in flames Saturday evening. The center which is located at Alafara community, via NIHORT Iletuntun Shonshon road Ibadan was reported to have went up in flames at about 7pm in the evening though the cause of the unfortunate incident is yet to established. It took the intervention of the Oyo state fire service command who arrived at the scene upon information of the situation reaching them to safe the fire from extending to other region of the market. Despite the intervention of the men of the fire service department, goods worth millions of Naira was completely burnt down as the plastic drinks and beverage drinks stocked up for the Yuletide season were completely destroyed. The Governor’s aide recounting his loss, thanked the fire service department of the state for their intervention to quench the blaze. He said, “I received a distress call from neighbors and passerby that my shop was on fire, I quickly called the fire service department of the state and as you know, the fire station is a bit far from here, they arrived at the scene and assisted immensely to put off the flame, from causing further damage. “As you can see, this is a distribution point for beverage drinks and this is the season of Christmas, I recently stocked up the shop with goods worth millions of Naira and nothing was picked out of it, not even a pin, everything is gone completely”. Some of the passersby who joined efforts to contain the spread of the fire before the arrival of the fire service men said they had made efforts to prevent escalation of the inferno by pulling out nearby shops and adjoining houses but could not stop the damage due to the thickness of the fire.
A space base that made global headlines when it first launched rockets from Northeast Arnhem Land is closing its operations in the Northern Territory. Equatorial Launch Australia will shut the Arnhem Space Base at Gulkula on the Gove Peninsula immediately and plans to open a new facility in Far North Queensland. The company said its decision had been forced by its failure to secure a lease to expand the base with the Northern Land Council. “The decision came after the Northern Land Council (NLC) failed to meet its own specified deadline for the approval of the Head Lease for the fourth time over the last 12 months, in October 2024,” the company said in a statement. “Despite desperate appeals from ELA, the Northern Territory Chief Minister’s Department and the Gumatj Corporation since February 2024, the NLC would not issue a Head Lease or provide any official reasons for the delays.” The NLC has been contacted for comment and is expected to issue its own statement later today. A source at the land council told Sky News ELA was wrongly blaming the NLC for the closure, saying it was the company that had been stalling negotiations. The Arnhem Space Base was built in partnership with the Gumatj Corporation, an Indigenous-owned business that provides employment opportunities for local Yolngu people. It was supported by the former NT Labor Government, which provided $5 million in funding to get the project off the ground. The centre made international headlines in 2022 when NASA launched three rockets from the base, marking Australia’s first commercial space launch. ELA announced plans to expand the base to allow it to launch up to 50 rockets per year. But those plans are now in tatters. “The continued delays from the NLC have made the existence of the spaceport in the Northern Territory challenging, and the most recent delay to late 2025 to allow consultation with traditional owner groups, had the potential to put ELA in breach of its contractual obligations with launch clients and jeopardised a previously secured major funding round,” the ELA statement said. “Accordingly, Management and the Board of ELA were left with no option other than to act in the best interest of its customers and shareholders and abandon negotiations and seek an alternate equatorial site in Queensland.” The company said it had been working with the Queensland Government and had identified a site at Weipa to establish a new base, which will be called the Australian Space Centre Cape York. “ELA is saddened that the more than $100m investment that ELA was making in the East Arnhem region, and the projected $3.6 billion in direct economic stimulus, local jobs creation and support and motivation for local and regional students in STEM projects and the long-term opportunities that were forecast over the life of the proposed lease, will now no longer materialise,” the company said. “ELA would like to thank the unrelenting support of the Northern Territory Government and the Gumatj Corporation, who have both been exemplary partners in the spaceport’s eight-year existence and throughout this difficult process.”AI Express' inaugural Surat-Bangkok flight sees good liquor sales stock did not run out say officials
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — In a season that began with many questions and lowered expectations , it was apt watching Bills quarterback Josh Allen join coach Sean McDermott lay on the cold, wet sideline to make snow angels in celebrating Buffalo’s earliest clinching of a division title in team history. That Allen took part was no surprise. The newly engaged 28-year-old has maintained the happy-go-lucky approach he brought with him to Buffalo as a raw-talented athlete in 2018, while gradually blossoming into one of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks. For McDermott, it was a pleasant surprise to see the usually reserved eight-year coach finally let his hair down — figuratively, because the few jokes he does make are usually about being bald. With his latest do-it-all three-TD outing — one rushing, one receiving and, the coup de grace, being credited with receiving his own pass for a score off a lateral from Amari Cooper — in a 35-10 win over San Francisco on Sunday night , Allen continued making his strongest NFL MVP case. What’s also becoming apparent is how much McDermott deserves consideration for coach of the year honors. Without the two, the Bills (10-2) wouldn’t be in this position in becoming just the eighth NFL team — and first since Indianapolis in 2009 — to clinch a division title with at least five games remaining in their schedule. It’s reflective of how the two have grown together in what, on the outside, could be perceived as an odd couple relationship between an offensive-minded, swashbuckling quarterback and a defensive-minded coach, too often knocked for being too conservative. Perhaps, it’s Allen’s boyish nature that has brought out the risk-taker in McDermott, who has carried over the aggressive approach he takes to defense by placing trust in his quarterback. It’s become apparent in everything the Bills have accomplished so far in having at least 10 wins through 12 games for just the fifth time in team history, and first since 1991, when Buffalo was led by eventual Hall of Famers in coach Marv Levy and quarterback Jim Kelly. Buffalo has won seven straight since consecutive losses to Baltimore and Houston. And the Bills have scored 30 or more points in six straight outings, matching the team record set in 2004. Allen is doing more with less on an offense that was supposed to be hampered following the offseason departures of receivers Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis and center Mitch Morse. The Bills are more balanced in leaning on their running attack, while Allen has also curtailed his turnover-prone ways. He's lost two fumbles and thrown just five interceptions after being picked off a career-worst 18 times last season. Meantime, McDermott has taken a different approach to fourth down situations. The Bills have converted 13 of 15 fourth down attempts after going 9 of 16 last season and 7 of 13 in 2022. The most fourth down attempts during McDermott’s tenure came in 2021, when Buffalo converted just 11 of 22. This is but an example of the bond the quarterback and coach have built in a shared objective of overcoming past playoff failures. Clinching a division title is but one step, with the Bills now focused on catching the Kansas City Chiefs (11-1), whom they’ve beaten already , for the AFC’s top seed. In calling it the team’s next goal, McDermott went off script from his usual game-at-a-time message by noting the importance of celebrating a division-clinching win, if only for one day. “Being 50 years old and 20-plus years in this league, I’ve learned to try and enjoy the moments,” McDermott said. “And this is a moment, right?” It certainly was. Turnover differential. Buffalo’s defense forced three fumbles, including one at its goal line, while the offense didn’t commit a giveaway. The Bills upped their league-leading turnover differential entering Monday to plus-17. Run defense. Though the conditions were snowy and slick, the Bills allowed 119 yards rushing in the first half before the 49ers were forced to start passing the ball once the score became lopsided. Buffalo particularly struggled in stopping Christian McCaffrey, who had 53 yards on seven carries before leaving the game with a potential season-ending knee injury . LB Matt Milano was in on five tackles while playing 37 of 48 defensive snaps in his first outing in nearly 14 months after being sidelined by a broken right leg and torn left biceps. CB Kaiir Elam, the 2022 first-round pick was a healthy inactive for a second straight outing, and still having difficulty finding a regular role. None reported. 9-0 — The Bills' home record going back to last season, marking their second-longest run in team history. Hit the road for two outings, starting with a trip to face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

There's always something new at Disneyland to enjoy, but when the 70th anniversary starts next year, the highlights will be things we've seen before. If there is one thing that Disneyland knows how to do well, it’s throw a party. The Disney 100 celebration almost two years ago included some excellent new entertainment, and with 2025 marking the 70th anniversary of the iconic park, expectations were high since the park’s 60th and 50th-anniversary celebrations were both high caliber. Fans were not disappointed. The lineup of major entertainment offerings for the 70th anniversary, which will start in May 2025, is an impressive list of events. Having said that, I am one fan who is personally a little disappointed, because considering everything we are getting, there are a few items that would have fit perfectly among them that I wish we could have seen as well. Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary Is A Greatest Hits Of Modern Classics If you’ve been to Disneyland Resort in the last 10 years, then you’re likely to appreciate what the 70th anniversary of Disneyland has to offer. It’s a combination of brand-new entertainment, as well as some recent classics. The highlight for me has to be the return of the Paint the Night parade . This spiritual successor to the Main Street Electrical Parade is an amazing nighttime parade with great music and incredible floats. It debuted a decade ago as part of the park’s 60th anniversary and has only made a couple of small return appearances. More recently, as part of the Disney 100 celebration, Disneyland Park got a brand-new fireworks show, Wondrous Journeys. The show had an incredible piece of original music, Baymax flying above Sleeping Beauty Castle , and included projection map sequences from every Walt Disney animation movie ever made. After closing for the holiday season at the end of August 2022, the show only made a brief return in the spring of 2023, so seeing it get a longer run is very welcome. This past summer, Disneyland Resort ran Pixar Fest , and the highlight of that, in my opinion, was Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration, a spiritual successor to one of my other favorite parades, the Pixar Play Parade at Disney California Adventure. It’s great to hear it will make a return soon. CINEMABLEND NEWSLETTER Your Daily Blend of Entertainment News Two Of Disneyland’s New Additions Could Become All-Time Classics In addition to bringing back some fan-favorite shows, two brand new attractions will also arrive. Disney California Adventure’s nighttime spectacular World of Color will see a new edition, World of Color - Happy. Since there has never been a bad version of World of Color, odds are the new version will be as good as the others. The biggest new addition to Disneyland isn't technically part of the 70th anniversary, but it will fittingly debut on the first day of the celebration. Walt Disney - A Magical Life will include a fully functional, and technologically advanced audio-animatronic of Walt Disney himself. Needless to say, such a thing is a huge swing for Walt Disney Imagineering. It’s a controversial decision, but one that could be truly special. If that’s all that will come with the Disneyland 70th anniversary, it’s a pretty impressive lineup, all things considered. It's very much the lineup I was expecting to see. However, there were also a couple of other additions I was expecting, and I'm a little bummed didn’t get announced. Bring Back Mickey And The Magical Map When the global pandemic closed Disneyland for a year, we lost a lot. Live entertainment was one of the areas that was hardest hit, so when the fantastic Disneyland stage show Mickey and the Magical Map didn’t reopen with the park, it was understandable, if still disappointing. However, the show never returned at all, and save for a run of less than 18 months for the Tale of the Lion King show, the Fantasyland Theater has been criminally underused. Starting in April, the theater space was used for Pixar Fest character meet and greets, and it’s currently home to Santa Claus, but it hasn’t been a theater with a show in far too long. Mickey and the Magical Map was an amazing show that brought together numerous Disney characters to perform a medley of popular songs. It also included some truly impressive stage effects. Bringing the show back for a special engagement for the 70th anniversary, even if only for a year, would have been the perfect way to celebrate it. The Mad T Party Tease From D23 Needs To Be Realized This past August, I was seated in the ninth row of the Honda Center for the Disney Experiences presentation at D23. Considering the announcements we were all expecting, it was sure to be the highlight of the weekend for me, and it absolutely was. However, the first thing to blow me away happened before the show officially started. On a secondary stage in the middle of the Honda Center, the Mad T Party band appeared and played a complete set, just as they once did at Disney California Adventure. The band, made up of Disneyland Cast Members dressed as characters from Alice in Wonderland (the Tim Burton live-action version), performed classic rock and contemporary pop music starting back in 2012, but they hadn’t been seen in the park since Disneyland’s 60th anniversary celebration ended in 2015. So what were they doing performing, in full costume, at D23 nearly a decade after they were last seen? Surely this was the lead-up to an announcement. Obviously Disney Experiences chairman Josh D’Amaro was going to walk out on stage and open the show with the announcement that the Mad T Party Band would be making a return, perhaps for the 70th anniversary celebration. Not so much. The 70th anniversary of Disneyland was mentioned that night, but without any specifics regarding what it would entail. Maybe this was just a special one-off performance after all, a little something extra for the crowd of diehard Disney fans who would appreciate it. But I held out hope that when DIsneyland’s 70th anniversary lineup was officially announced, it would include the return of the Mad T Party. Thus far, my hopes have been dashed. It’s technically possible that these shows are still forthcoming. Disneyland’s official reveal of the 70th anniversary does state that there is still more to announce. But it seems unlikely that these particular attractions wouldn’t have been included in the announcements we got if they were happening. I will continue to hold out hope; Disneyland is where dreams come true, after all.

It’s been nearly 100 years since the Victoria Cougars etched their names into hockey history by defeating the Montreal Canadiens to claim the Stanley Cup in 1925. Now, the iconic trophy is set to return to Victoria in March 2025, marking the centennial anniversary of that monumental victory. The Victoria Hockey Legacy Society has that the Stanley Cup will be the centerpiece of the Century Celebration, a family-friendly festival scheduled for March 29 and 30, 2025. The event promises a slate of activities to commemorate the Cougars’ triumph, including a public skate on artificial ice, a songwriting competition, and a gala. The 1925 victory holds special significance as the Victoria Cougars were not only the second team from British Columbia to claim the Cup but also the last non-NHL team to do so. Competing in the Western Canada Hockey League, the Cougars took down the NHL’s Canadiens in a four-game series, cementing their place in hockey lore. Details of the Century Celebration will follow closer to the event in March. This past year has seen a lot of hockey in Victoria. Earlier this year, the city hosted Hockey Day in Canada, which is rare for an island more known for its surfing than its hockey. : March 29 and 30, 2025

The S&P/TSX composite index closed down 66.38 points at 25,625.42. In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 240.59 points at 44,401.93. The S&P 500 index was down 37.42 points at 6,052.85, while the Nasdaq composite was down 123.08 points at 19,736.69. “It started pretty positive in the morning. It's just been slowly, slowly grinding down ever since,” said Michael Currie, senior investment adviser at TD Wealth. Some of the market direction Monday was driven by two separate news stories out of China, he said. “The (Chinese) central bank says they're starting to buy gold again, and they're looking to loosen their monetary policy a bit. So that helped oil a lot, helped gold a lot,” said Currie. China also said it’s investigating semiconductor giant Nvidia over suspected violations of anti-monopoly laws, which sent the company’s stock lower. Nvidia’s share price was down 2.6 per cent Monday at US$138.81. Otherwise, “it’s all about interest rates today,” said Currie. In the U.S., investors are awaiting the latest update on inflation later in the week. However, given that the slowing job market is more of a concern for the U.S. Federal Reserve at this point, the data is unlikely to change what investors currently expect from the Fed next week, said Currie: a quarter-percentage-point cut. “Unless there's something really crazy out of the inflation numbers, there’s no reason to expect anything different is going to happen next week,” he said. In Canada, where the central bank is gearing up for a rate decision Wednesday, a larger half-point cut is more likely, he said. Expectations for a bigger cut rose after last week’s jobs report, which saw the unemployment rate jump to 6.8 per cent in November. “The more we're cutting rates, especially the accelerated rate compared to the States, the more that just keeps beating up our dollar,” said Currie. He expects more buzz in the coming months about the divergence between interest rates in Canada and the U.S. as the loonie continues to weaken. “We're seeing it already, and as the gap gets bigger, it'll become more of a story.” However, Currie noted the TSX briefly touched an all-time high earlier in the day. “Basically since the US election, it's just been a non-stop rally,” he said. The Canadian dollar traded for 70.77 cents US compared with 70.74 cents US on Friday. The January crude oil contract was up US$1.17 at US$68.37 per barrel and the January natural gas contract was up 11 cents at US$3.18 per mmBTU. The February gold contract was up US$26.20 at US$2,685.80 an ounce and the March copper contract was up eight cents at US$4.28 a pound. — With files from The Associated Press This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 9, 2024.
