A favorite activity to celebrate the holidays in the Eel River Valley is the Fortuna Garden Club’s annual home tour and tea, this year, taking place on Dec. 11. The theme for the 52nd annual event is Old Fashioned Southern Christmas and this year the self-guided tour features two houses in Fortuna and two locations in Scotia. Tour hours are from 12 p.m. until 7 p.m. and the tea portion of the event takes place at the Monday Club in Fortuna. Tickets are $20 and children under five are free. Pre-sale tickets can be purchased at Greens Pharmacy, and on the day of the tour, at the Monday Club or any of the featured homes on the tour. The Monday Club will be decorated like an old-fashioned southern Christmas and holiday cookies, candy, scones, tea, hot apple cider and coffee will be served. Local businesses, community members, and Garden Club members have donated items on display and an opportunity drawing is planned to be held between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Garden Club member Bev Ward and her family home is one of the two Fortuna locations on the tour. This is the third time her home has been included in the tour. “I love Christmas,” Ward said. “I love everything about the season,” She added. “It is a time of joy, reflection, being together with family and friends, and reminiscing about Christmases past,” Ward said. Ward said as the years have passed, she is more drawn to the decor of her childhood. “Growing up in the 1950s and 1960s, we were surrounded by shiny bright ornaments, fat jolly Santas, snowmen, and putz houses, and that is what you will find when you tour my home,” Ward said. The Anderson home, the second Fortuna location on the tour, is a tale of travels, told in ornaments. “We love Christmas,” Mary Anderson, also a Garden Club member said. “Some of our traditions include decorating as soon as trees are available, attending local festivities, and collecting ornaments throughout the year from places traveled,” she added. A few new ornaments gathered this year include one from a trip to Palm Springs and the nearby desert, a birthday trip to Beverly Hills, and a business trip to Nevada. The collection on display also includes a handmade glass decoration from Paris, France. Venturing to Scotia, the tour includes visits to the historic Scotia Lodge (formerly Scotia Inn) and the historic craftsman house, formerly the Pacific Lumber Company’s Director’s Cottage, and now a privately owned Airbnb. The Scotia Lodge is decorated with a large holiday wreath above the front desk check-in area and poinsettias in the lobby. There is also a lighted tree in the dining room and white lights on the outside entrance welcome visitors. Scotia Lodge Private Event Reservationist Kristin Fine said, “We love decorating for the holidays and making this space feel very homey. It’s a wonderful historic building,” she added, “and we are excited about being included in the Fortuna Christmas Home Tour this year.” The historic building was built in 1923 and was known at that time as the Mowatoc Hotel. It became known as the Scotia Inn in the 1950s and over the years was not only available for visiting guests, but also as lodging for loggers and millworkers employed with Pacific Lumber Company. After closing in 2017 and being shuttered for four years, the building was purchased and re-opened in 2021, and the name was changed to Scotia Lodge. The former Pacific Lumber Company’s Directror’s Cottage is located at 130 Main Street in Scotia. This six-bedroom, six-bath, almost 4,400 square foot building has been decorated in the holiday spirit, with vintage-style Santas and snowmen throughout the house. “I am using mostly old-fashioned décor to match the style of the house,” owner Michele Brannan said. She and her husband Chris purchased the house in November of 2020 and operate it as an Airbnb. Brannan is using many of her grandmother’s and mother’s Christmas decorations. Each bedroom will have electric fireplaces and stockings. “It will be cozy and comfortable just like the house,” Brannan said, “and family ready for the holidays.” It was built in 1919 as lodging for when upper management from The Pacific Lumber Company’s San Francisco office and company lumber sales representatives from its Chicago office were in town to check on the sawmill operations and other business. It was used for this purpose and other private events until The Pacific Lumber Company went out of business in 2008. From that time on until it was sold in private ownership, it was a tenant-occupied rental property owned by the Town of Scotia Company, LLC. Prior to the construction of the house, the triangle-shaped property was known as Dorr Park, named after one of PALCO’s upper management team. The Annual Christmas Home Tour and Tea is a fundraiser that supports the Fortuna Garden Club activities including civic beautification projects, a scholarship program, Main Street flower beds and a youth gardening program.FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — If Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh has given any thought to the possibility of clinching a playoff berth in his first season with the team with a win at New England on Saturday, he isn't letting it show. “Just attacking, that’s our mindset. Win the next game," he said. Harbaugh's relative silence on the topic isn't a total departure from his usual business-first approach, but there could also be something else at play. Aside from wrapping up what would be Harbaugh’s fourth postseason trip in five years as an NFL head coach, since the Chargers (9-6) have the tiebreaker over the Denver Broncos but not against the Pittsburg Steelers, Los Angeles would appear destined to be the sixth seed in the postseason. That would mean a trip to Baltimore and a possible Harbaugh Bowl 4 matchup opposite older brother and Ravens coach John Harbaugh. The Ravens beat the Chargers earlier this season 30-23. But first things first. And that's taking care of the Patriots (3-12), who have lost five straight games but showed several signs of offensive improvement during their 24-21 loss at Buffalo last week. Jim Harbaugh sees a dangerous group. And his players say they are locked in on the present. “Always one week at a time. We’ve got a lot of respect for this Patriots team," Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert said. "We know we’re going on the road and have to be prepared for everything.” If the Patriots are going to play the role of spoiler, it must start with rookie quarterback Drake Maye. He has thrown a touchdown pass in seven consecutive games, tied with Jim Plunkett (1971) for the longest such streak by a rookie in franchise history. But he has also thrown at least one interception in each of the past seven games. Overall, the Patriots have a minus-9 turnover margin. The Patriots did score 14 points in the first half during last week’s loss at Buffalo. Still, New England's offense has had trouble finishing drives, scoring touchdowns on only 47.7% of its chances in the red zone. Maye said that doesn't mean he plans to be timid over the final two games. “I think there’s definitely a way we need to cut down turnovers,” he said. “That starts with me protecting the football and throwing it incomplete or throwing it in the dirt or little things like that. I’m still going to be aggressive.” The Chargers could have a major weapon return in running back J.K. Dobbins, who has been on injured reserve after suffering a knee injury against Baltimore on Nov. 25. With Dobbins out of the lineup, the Bolts have struggled to have any consistency on offense. Los Angeles has averaged only 74.8 rushing yards in the past four games, which is quite a drop from the 118.1 they were generating before Dobbins’ injury. Dobbins was listed as questionable, while Gus Edwards — who rushed for two touchdowns and a season-high 68 yards in last Thursday’s win over Denver — was ruled out with an ankle injury. Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins would likely take over in the backfield if Dobbins also can't play. Justin Herbert, who has 20,466 career passing yards, needs 153 yards to surpass Peyton Manning for the most in a player's first five seasons in league history. Ladd McConkey is 40 yards away from becoming the first Chargers rookie receiver to reach 1,000 yards since Keenan Allen in 2013. The Chargers have won 11 of their past 13 when playing in the Eastern time zone, including last year’s 6-0 victory over the Patriots. Los Angeles has five of its nine games on Eastern time this season for the first time since 2005. They are trying to become the ninth team since 1988 on Pacific time to win at least four games when having to travel at least three time zones. The Chargers have given up two touchdowns and a field goal on the first possession in the last three games. They allowed only one touchdown on an opening drive in the first 12 games. Another cause for concern is that the Bolts have given up scores on the first two series in back-to-back games. AP Sports Writer Joe Reedy in Los Angeles contributed to this report.

Five companies and two individuals were honoured yesterday at the ninth edition of the BRAC Bank-The Daily Star ICT Awards in recognition of their exceptional contributions to the advancement of Bangladesh's information and communication technology sector. Selim RF Hussain, managing director and chief executive officer of BRAC Bank, along with Mahfuz Anam, editor and publisher of The Daily Star, handed over the awards to the winners at a ceremony held at Le Meridien Dhaka, the hospitality partner for the event. The event, which was organised in association with BRAC Bank and Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services, began with a minute's silence paying tribute to the martyrs and injured of the mass uprising that led to the fall of the Awami League regime. Afeef Zaman, founder and CEO of ShopUp, was recognised as the ICT Business Person of the year, while Sadia Haque, co-founder and CEO of ShareTrip, was awarded as the ICT Woman of the year. Logic Software won the ICT Solution Provider of the year award in the local market focus category and The Kow Company in the international market focus category. Software Shop (SSL Wireless) was awarded the Digital Commerce of the year, while Shikho and Instasure were the ICT start-ups of the year. Although ICT has been regarded as the future, it has not been given due importance in Bangladesh, Anam said. "We haven't given the ICT sector enough support, enough importance, enough legal supportive environment, enough financial incentives for it to flourish." Only through ICT can Bangladesh catch up with the developed world. "The application of ICT can advance our health to a much higher standard, provide access to global experts in Bangladesh and connect experts in Dhaka with patients in rural areas. Similarly, in the education sector. Whatever we try, whatever money we spend, we cannot keep our education aligned with the evolution of education in the world except through technology." Besides, the digitisation of the government system could decrease corruption overnight, Anam added. There are many who feel that the banking sector should be investing much more in ICT and perhaps there is something to be said about that, said BRAC Bank MD Selim RF Hussain. "The future does belong to ICT usage and we are confident that banks in Bangladesh will continue to invest in and expand their digital banking capabilities in areas such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve customer service, become cost-efficient and fraud detection and prevention." Going forward, banks will increasingly partner with fintech companies to gain access to new technologies and services to stay competitive in the rapidly changing digital landscape. "Obviously, this is also an exciting time for banks and financial institutions -- many of them have already significantly upgraded themselves with their digital-first strategies to serve the customers." The adoption of digital banking channels, implementation of digital onboarding processes (eKYC), use of advanced analytics, development of digital products and services and automation of back-office processes are taking place with great momentum, Hussain added. Founded in 2010, Logic Software is a leader in providing customised ERP solutions for industries like textiles, garments and leather. By addressing inventory, production and financial challenges, the company helps businesses streamline operations. The company has processed more than $15 billion in transactions, boosting Bangladesh's economy. The KOW Company excels in content post-production and 3D innovation. With over 500 professionals and AI-driven technology, the company processes 32,000 to 35,000 assets daily. Partnering with global brands like Adidas, it delivers exceptional visual content across industries, setting new standards in media production and creative solutions. Under Sadia Haque's leadership, ShareTrip has revolutionised travel services in Bangladesh, generating more than $100 million in gross merchandise value. Her vision has made ShareTrip a leader in the travel industry and digital commerce. Under Afeef Zaman's leadership, ShopUp raised $174 million in South Asia's largest Series B funding round, driving ShopUp's success. By focusing on digital credit, logistics and business management, he has transformed the country's e-commerce landscape. Founded in 2019, Shikho is transforming Bangladesh's edtech landscape by offering localised, interactive educational content in Bengali. With its mobile app, Shikho provides engaging learning tools for students, addressing education gaps and enabling better retention. The company has secured $6.5 million in funding, expanding its reach and impact. Founded in 2022, Instasure has pioneered Bangladesh's first embedded insurance platform. With strategic partnerships and an innovative approach, it offers insurance products at the point of purchase. By making insurance accessible, particularly for underserved communities, Instasure is reshaping the industry and addressing low penetration rates. SSL Wireless, founded in 1999, has become a leader in Bangladesh's ICT sector, specialising in digital commerce solutions. The company's flagship product, Hercules One, integrates over 250,000 merchants, improving business efficiency. SSL Wireless is also driving Bangladesh's digital transformation and advancing a cashless economy through its innovative offerings. Ahmed Kamal Khan Chowdhury, group adviser of SSL Wireless; Shahir Chowdhury, founder and CEO of Shikho; Rafel Kabir, managing director of Instasure; Kowser Ahmed, MD and CEO of The KOW Company; Rumana Ahmed, director at Logic Software; Afeef Zaman and Sadia Haque received the award.

Hong Kong’s many football fans usually have to cheer on champions and legends of the sport from afar. This serves to whet their appetite when a chance arises to see them in the flesh – so much so that no price is too high for some to pay to be able to meet them. A case in point is a “meet-and-greet” event with former greats of Spanish football giants Real Madrid for which dozens of fans, including members of the team’s local fan club, had bought tickets for HK$6,880 each. Some of the Real stars, including Luis Figo, Roberto Carlos and Fabio Cannavaro, had already left the venue, the Hong Kong Golf and Tennis Academy, by the time the fans arrived, dashing hopes of a photo with the players and having memorabilia signed. It seems they left the “meet-and-greet” early to prepare for an exhibition match against Spanish rivals Barcelona. That reflects lack of planning and coordination. Many fans have complained to the Consumer Council and co-organisers of the Legends Assemble programme, Football Legends, Timewow and ACO Media. But it is not clear how much refund they can expect, given that they did meet some players including those from Barcelona.The passing of former , widely recognised for his pioneering role in steering India towards globalisation, privatisation, and economic liberalisation, marks a significant loss to the political, social, and economic fabric of the country, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said on Thursday. "Singh, whose revolutionary decisions laid the foundation for transforming India into an emerging economic superpower, is being remembered for his leadership and vision," he added expressing grief over the former Union Finance Minister's death. Noting Singh's contributions, noted that his leadership during difficult times, particularly during global recessions, played a pivotal role in stabilising and strengthening the Indian economy. In his condolence message, Pawar praised Singh’s deep understanding of the global economy, his farsighted decision-making, and dedication to the welfare of ordinary citizens. “With his leadership, the Indian economy was brought back on track, and the foundation was laid for the country’s future economic success,” Pawar said. "The strong economy that enjoys today owes much to Dr Manmohan Singh’s efforts," the state finance minister said. Pawar also commended Singh’s trustworthiness, integrity, and cultured leadership, acknowledging that the nation has lost a leader who will be remembered for his successful tenure as Finance Minister and PM. "He was a courageous Prime Minister and a leader who earned the trust of the people. The country has lost a son," said Pawar. "Singh’s passing leaves behind a legacy of transformative policies that reshaped India’s economic landscape, and he will be remembered as a key architect of the country’s growth and prosperity," he said. Earlier, also condoled the death of the former prime minister Singh saying the country has lost a great scholar, statesman and economist. "With the demise of former PM Manmohan Singh, we have lost a great scholar, economist and statesman. His contributions to Indian economic reforms, serving the nation as PM for ten years, will be remembered forever," he said on X. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray said he was deeply saddened. "My brief meeting with him, at his residence, made an everlasting impression on me, of how PMs can be truly humble, graceful and dignified, despite the very many achievements marked out against their name and tenure," Thackeray said. "For someone like me, born in the 90s, the opening up of India to the world and vice versa, was like growing up in a decade where each day was new, and the world was brought closer to home, thanks to him," said Aaditya.

Alisson set to return as Irishman Kelleher is set to return to the bench Caoimhin Kelleher made a costly mistake in Liverpool's 3-3 draw with Newcastle Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has hinted that Caoimhin Kelleher’s run in the team is about to come to an end as first-choice goalkeeper Alisson returns from injury. Kelleher has kept five clean sheets, including against Real Madrid and Manchester City, but made his first real error at Newcastle on Wednesday, with his late misjudgement allowing the hosts to snatch a 3-3 draw. Slot confirmed Alisson is fit to start Tuesday’s Champions League game away at Girona and while he had high praise for Ireland number one Kelleher, the Dutchman expects Alisson to be a key player for the Reds over the coming months. Alisson is back fully training with Liverpool and when asked about his potential return, Slot said: “I think it speaks for itself. If you can play with Alisson, who has been so outstanding for the club for so many years and for the Brazil national team, that is definitely nice to have him back. “But if you then look at how his replacement did it is not going to be easy to do even better. We expect the same, and maybe on margins a bit better but Caoimh did so well we can say we have two good goalkeepers. “But for so many years Alisson has been so outstanding for this club and we are expecting him to do the same over the next few months.” Forward Diogo Jota, who has not featured since sustaining a chest injury against Chelsea on October 20, was also involved in full training at the AXA training complex before the squad flew out but has not travelled in order to continue his recovery. Slot, meanwhile, does not believe a top-eight Champions League finish will give his side an advantage over their rivals in the domestic title race. The Dutchman said apart from the boost of missing the additional knockout round and going straight into the last 16, he was not sure what other benefits were to be had. And he suggested, after assessment at the end of the season, if it turned out there had not been a significant advantage he would consider rotating more during the extended group stage. The Premier League leaders, four points clear with a game in hand, are also currently top of the Champions League table after five successive wins and are on the verge of guaranteeing a top-eight place but after that there are then rankings to be played for with your eventual finishing position having an impact on the opposition you can draw in the last 16. Title rivals Arsenal are seventh and Manchester City currently occupy 17th, an unseeded play-off place berth, while Chelsea are top of the Conference League table. “If we end up in the top eight I assume these clubs end up in the top eight as well: Arsenal I think 95 percent sure, City have to do a bit more maybe but they are able to win three times in a row so then they will be in top eight,” said Slot ahead of the tie against European debutants Girona. “Of course it seems to be really helpful to end up first eight but if every time you play all your (first-choice) starters, as we have done almost every time, then you also need the results because we try to finish as high as possible and also to skip the next round. “If in the end it means by playing starters always and skipping the next round and still we have a very difficult draw then maybe we will think about it differently next season, what we will do in the group stage. “You never know if it (missing the play-off round) is an advantage. Until now we have played every three days and we haven’t done that bad – maybe we should implement some friendly games if we finish top eight! “But we are pushing really hard to finish top eight for the best possible seeding but also to skip that round.” For only the second time in their history Liverpool could win the first six opening matches of a European campaign (they managed seven in 2021-22).Video Interview Platform Market 2024: A Decade of Phenomenal Growth Ahead 12-20-2024 07:15 PM CET | Business, Economy, Finances, Banking & Insurance Press release from: Prudent Markets Video Interview Platform Market The Video Interview Platform Market 2024-2023 report provides a comprehensive analysis of Types (Personality Assessment, Talent Management), Application (Financial Services, Healthcare, IT Software and Technology, Manufacturing, Retail, Other), Analysis of Industry Trends, Growth, and Opportunities, R&D landscape, Data security and privacy concerns Risk Analysis, Pipeline Products, Assumptions, Research Timelines, Secondary Research and Primary Research, Key Insights from Industry Experts, Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2024-2032.

This release was published on openPR.(The Center Square) – After an Iranian national was arrested on Monday in a Boston suburb for his alleged ties to a terrorist attack that killed three U.S. service members, the town's leaders unanimously voted to pass a sanctuary city ordinance. On Monday, Iranian-born Mahdi Mohammad Sadeghi, a resident of Natick, Mass., was charged in federal court in Boston "with conspiring to export sophisticated electronic components from the United States to Iran in violation of U.S. export control and sanctions laws," The Center Square reported. Sadeghi and others allegedly conspired to evade U.S. export control and sanctions laws by procuring goods, services, and technology from American companies and exporting them to an Iranian-based company that contracts with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a US-designated foreign terrorist organization. The company allegedly manufactured the drones used by the IRGC that killed U.S. soldiers stationed in Jordan in January. Sadeghi faces up to 20 years in prison for his role in a conspiracy that goes back nearly 10 years , according to the complaint . His arrest occurred after an unprecedented number of Iranian and special interest aliens were apprehended after illegally entering the U.S., The Center Square reported . It also occurred after Islamic terrorist incidents increased under President Joe Biden and after he extended a national emergency regarding Iran last month. The U.S. has been in a perpetual state of national emergency related to Iran since Nov. 14, 1979, The Center Square reported . Forty-eight hours after Sadeghi's arrest , on Wednesday night, Natick's Select Board members unanimously passed a sanctuary city policy, 5-0. It prohibits taxpayer-funded town employees from inquiring about or collecting information about residents' citizenship status, among other provisions. Natick joined Boston, Somerville, Northampton, Amherst Cambridge, Concord, Lawrence and Newton in adopting so-called sanctuary city policies ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's stated mass deportation policy. The policy is being implemented in response to more than 14 million illegal border crossers being reported under the Biden administration as crime and national security threat escalated, The Center Square reported. Natick's actions followed the all-Democratic Boston City Council unanimously voting to reaffirm the Boston Trust Act, which prohibits Boston Police Department officers from cooperating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with some exceptions. It also comes after Boston's mayor said the city wasn't planning on cooperating with ICE, The Center Square reported. Massachusetts' sanctuary policies work against law enforcement tasked with protecting residents, Todd Lyons, acting assistant director of field operations for ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations in New England, argues. Elected officials "preaching their sanctuary city status are making it easier for those who commit sex crimes and fentanyl dealers. We need cities and towns to work with us to keep these criminals out of neighborhoods. "We focus on the worst of the worst and all the political rhetoric is not helping," he told the Boston Herald. Democratic leaders describing Massachusetts "as a sanctuary to the international community and that they won't cooperate with federal authorities, sends a dangerous signal to bad actors around the world," the chair of the Massachusetts Republican Party, Amy Carnevale, said , "It tells them that Massachusetts is a safe haven where they can evade prosecution from the United States federal government." Last year, Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll urged residents to house illegal border crossers, saying, " step up if you're willing to have an additional family be part of your family." One year later, the state converted an empty former prison to house them, resulting in local outrage, The Center Square reported . Carnevale said it was time for Driscoll to "stand with the people of Massachusetts and declare that our state will no longer serve as a sanctuary for criminals whether they're here legally or illegally. For the safety and security of our communities, Massachusetts must send a clear message: there is no sanctuary for international criminals in our Commonwealth." ICE agents have been arresting violent criminals in Massachusetts, including men convicted of aggravated rape, assault and battery, and fugitives wanted in their home countries for violent sexual crimes. In many cases, sanctuary jurisdictions refused to cooperate with ICE, and instead released violent offenders into the community who then committed additional crimes, The Center Square reported . New Hampshire's incoming-Gov. Kelly Ayotte has had harsh words for Massachusetts, saying, "Our neighbors to the south seem intent on proving that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. As they struggle with a billion-dollar illegal immigrant crisis, they are instead choosing to double down," she told Fox News Digital. Ayotte, who is replacing outgoing Gov. Chris Sununu, ran on a campaign against the "Mass-i-fication" of New Hampshire. "Here in New Hampshire, we are going to ban sanctuary policies and give law enforcement the tools to work together to ensure this crisis never comes to our towns," she said.
